No Im playing it on PC here!!!Initial impressions a bit disappointing...I may actually prefer COD4 and Im like most here much more interested in WW2.Graphics dont really move on the game at all .Its a bit like the opposite to the Rome Total War to Medieval 2 Total War scenario.In the former the gameplay was identical but the graphics boosted massively.Here the graphics are about the same of inferior even apart from lovely water but they have probably upgraded a few gameplay features.Instead of Airstrike and Choppers you get artillery strike and DOGS ...yes thats right a pck of dogs!!!And there are the silly tanks from COD2 ....All in all Id give it 6.5-7.5 out of 10 with COD4 getting 7-8 because it was more innovative at the time .It does seem better than Red Orchestra and COD2 although some players of BOTH these games might prefer their more 'primitive' WW2 FPS.
I was a bit annoyed when a grenade I threw failed to pass through a cherry blossom leaf/flower ...It is a Beta I suppose but must be near final standard ....Snipers may like this game ...There seems to be more an advantage to rifles at medium range when pitted against sub mg players...

Actually Im liking this LESS as the day passes.Its not a massive improvement on COD4 in some respects...movement of opponents can be very jerky and un natural reminiscent of really old games ...water IS beautiful but thats about it...I believe this is not being recieved well by COD fans,....Apparently Activision replaced Infinity Ward with some other developers /maker and it shows...Im downgrading to 5.75-7 out of 10.Will prob still buy it but not so sure now...

Its a copy and paste of COD4, then reskinned and feature fixed to be WW2...
so whats the point?

If the next COD sucks then everyone might stay at COD4 and it might stay around like Counterstrike did.

Its beta still though so reserve judgement untill the final release of the game, or even a patch or two in.

I'll be grabbing this the minute I get home, what's the story with servers? Are there many up? Anyone planning on getting an Irish server running anytime soon?

Loads of servers ....Its not REALLY a reskin of 4 its quite a bit inferior...When I go back to 4 I am taken by the realistic graphics...Apparently Infinity Ward made 2 and 4 and the company who made this amde the unpopular 3...

Its a cod2 mod for cod 4 but with slightly smaller hotboxes than cod2s massive hitboxes.

yeah anyone planning on getting any irish servers up and running?
