Hopefully they will come out with a patch soon to adjust some things and make it possible to walk, instead of running around all the time like an idiot.

I love this game. best $49.99 i've spent on a videogame all year. i haven't tried multiplayer, because i'm having too much fun on the campaign... a nice touch was them using the voice of that one actor from the movie, 'the transporter' (i forgot his name, but he was in snatch and lock,stock,& 2 smoking barrels also)

i'm on my 2nd playthrough it's that much fun...

I imagine you're having the same problem I had with that level. If so, here's the solution:

Spoiler:
There's a basement to the building, only accessable from the outside


Spoiler:
My fault for not giving enough details. I am defending the building from an enemy tank assault. I cannot take out the tanks, cause anytime I enter a room not in the center of the building, the tank uses its big gun and shoots the whole room. Eventually, I run out of ammo for the machine gun, and get overrun when its me with a sniper rifle only. Also, I tried defending key choke points, such as the main staircase, but enemies keep ending up behind me, as if they scaled the walls on the outside.

Spoiler:
strange, I was able to run back and forth between the two tankbusters and didn't have any problem with the tanks shooting back at me. well, I did get hit once, right as I was destroying a tank, but it wasn't bad enough to kill me. Maybe I just got lucky.


I just finished this game last night. What a blast!

Is this after you take down the first two tanks and the countdown starts? Or before the countdown? If it's after, you don't have to worry about the tanks, just keep yourself safe in the middle. I don't see how you can run out of ammo as you just take the guns/ammo from the germans you kill coming up the stairs.

Thats what I did eventually. I ignored the mission objectives, let all my teammates die, and hid in a corner shooting people as they went up the stairs. That board would make a really cool multiplayer map though.

For those who haven't purchased this yet, gogamer.com has it on sale for $32.90 plus shipping.

Wow. I haven't played any PC games since Medal of Honor. I was quickly reminded that PC games can be sooooo much better than console games. After playing nothing but Xbox and PS2 games for the past year or so, the graphics look incredible. Not bad for a game based on an engine that's fairly old now (RTCW).

flashburn 11-16-03 04:04 PM

Its actually using the Quake3 engine, which RTCW used. In either case, yes it is a pretty old engine, amazing what they got out of it!

damn_skippy 11-16-03 09:56 PM

this game is still amazing :jawdrop:

i love the multiplayer maps
dawnville and caraten.

Great Game

Gromit 11-17-03 05:49 PM

The Stalingrad mission sucks (the beginning). I guess they had to do something like the beginning of MOH: Allied Assault. Save, reload, reload, reload, reload, reload, save, reload, reload, reload.....

It gets boring real quick.

Edit: I realize that last sentence is going to be taken the wrong way. I'm referring to constantly having to reload from a save point getting boring.

I'm guessing the idea is to take a shot, move, take a shot, repeat.

karnblack 11-18-03 10:42 AM

I guess I'm lucky since I didn't die in the Stalingrad opening.

Spoiler:
I didn't get a gun (just ammo) so I ran up to a wall to hide behind. The first objective for me was to find an officer and get direction. I found one and he made me run as a decoy to another barrier while he sniped the enemies. Then after we did it a couple of times we moved back. He took out a Russian officer that was going to shoot me for retreating. Then another soldier called for artillery and we took the hill. I couldn't find a gun until the next level. Lots of fun.

It is a multiplayer map: Pavlov.

wiz 11-18-03 12:00 PM

Yup, still loving this game myself. Going to go home today and get a few rounds in before the woman gets home!

I made it past that, but it's the next section that's kicking my butt.

Spoiler:
There are machine gun nests near the building in the distance. I can move into a pretty good spot and take a few of them out, but they keep coming. Do I need to keep moving or just sit tight, save a lot, and keep picking them off?


Thanks!

You're not meant to kill them. Move up on the right side - a hole will blow open in a building you can enter.

Gromit 11-18-03 02:19 PM

Aha! I'll give that a try. Thanks!

chanster 11-19-03 11:18 AM

Has anyone had problems with lock-ups on this game. I have ATI Radeon 8500 (128 MB) and the thing locks up and totally crashes my computer. Any help would be appreciated.

Dan

damn_skippy 11-19-03 03:16 PM

runs very smooth on my system. No problems at all.

chanster 11-24-03 02:26 PM

Anybody interested in joining a group to play Duty Multiplayer.?Shoot me an email in my profile..

Luddy 12-07-03 02:39 PM

Anyone know if/when mission packs will be available?

I played through both demos and will pick this game up ASAP. I don't play many video games anymore and the graphics were better than I expected, great lighting.

Runs great on my 750mhz - NVIDIA Quadro4 980 XGL (128DDR).

Man, Ive played the demo to death and plan on getting this tomorrow (FINALLY on sale), so im all for being in that group

Cardiac161 12-08-03 11:26 AM

Are there multiplayer servers around that allow maps done by the community? I noticed in CODFiles that there are a couple of maps available for download that have gotten pretty good reviews.

Groucho 12-08-03 11:44 AM

Luddy:

While an expansion pack is more or less a sure thing, nothing official has been announced. There is Call of Duty: Finest Hour which is coming out next year for consoles, and has completely different missions than the PC game.

Ravenous:

I haven't played any of the user-made maps yet, but I know there are servers running them. The easiest way to find them is to sort by map and look for one of the maps you are interested in. I hear that the auto-download is pretty poor, so you might consider downloading the map ahead of time.

Cardiac161 12-08-03 01:30 PM

Thanks for the heads up, Groucho.

I've noticed that I've been playing COD MP for almost every evening for at least 2 hrs ever since I got it. Pretty addictive plus you also get to be more familiar with the other people online who seem to be quite loyal to a very few servers. Man, some of them are really good.
