Call of Duty 2 multi

[topgun23]

Hi all, I have applied the COD 2 patch v 1.2 and have found I have lost loads of the servers I used to connect to. I understand that there is punkbuster included and that has cut them down, but i still find people cheating? Any ideas or should I just uninstall the patch.
Thanks

[topgun23]

Thanks again mate

Dito. Loved the original online. Played the 2nd one once and never again. Just bought CoD 3, i've heard its better then 2. Ill find out tonight

Call of duty 3 - that must be some horrible console title that uses a joypad to aim? Think I can wait till COD4 for a keyboard and mouse.

To be honest I used to have the same opinion, i could never understand how people played FPS games on consoles. Then I played Ghost Recon on a mates trixty and loved it and since then I've bought several console FPS titles. I still prefer keyboard and mouse (im a wiz ^_^) but I no longer look at console FPS games as 'unplayable'.

You have more patience than me!

Yep.

Joypads use a relative positioning method whereas mouse control is absolute. Therefore joypads/joysticks dont suit games where the control is designed to be ur actual hands (FPS) since it is unnatural. They are more suited to driving or flying games since the control over vehicles is relative.

Mouse control suits FPS since moving the mouse a certain distance directly relates to the movement seen on screen.

This is why in Battlefield 2, the recommendation is often to use the mouse to control ur soldier, but use a joystick when in a vehicle (such as an aeroplane).

FPS games on consoles tend to compromise the gameplay by adjusting for the handicap of using a joypad. This is done in 2 ways:

• The aim has a lock control - where if ur crosshair is near the enemy and u press the button, ur sights lock on to them.

• The enemies are fewer in numbers and not as responsive. This gives the player the extra time needed to waft the crosshair over the enemy.

I beleive though that a change is on the horizon (if it takes off properly), with the new Wii controller. This gives players an absolute control device for their consoles, where in FPS games, the controller is assumed to be the gun itself. In fact, this is probably an even greater "natural feel" than using a mouse.

[topgun23]

Using that controller as a gun sounds very usefull. Something new anyway.

[johnny02004976]

[fathazza]

hell yeh, and if you get the first get the expansion pack

pretty sure i saw both for a tenner in one pack in virgin or hmv or the like last week.

at that price there is really no excuse...

[johnny02004976]

yeh i got the dual pack for about a tenner on amazon a month or two ago which is a hell of a bargain

i bought it originally but broke the disk when i moved house

its totally worth it for the SAS levels
