I noticed that there wasn't a general discussion on this game so here it is.
It's not far away now so who getting this game when released? I know MW2 left a sour taste with PC gamers and I still haven't bothered with that game...but I'm tempted to give this one a chance if they have dedicated servers.

Can't just create your own listen server for that? Host it locally?
Can't imagine that would be too bad p2p.

Oh, well in the single player menu where it says Zombies, I select it and it says it can't find a server. [Shifty]

But did you see THE SIZE of my thread? It is thirty pages now! I added a note to the OP anyway, so that I can avoid further yelling.

There was some noob who asked for help without providing specs and some guy went apeshit all over him heh.

Glad to report I'm having 0 problems in singleplayer. I'm rarely one of the people who escape potential issues unscathed :P I'm expecting multiplayer to be colossally fubar.

Enjoying it mostly at the moment. Fair few niggles pissing me off though.
Can't seem to see anywhere to enable console so can't use numerical sensitivity until I find the config.
FOV also pathetic.
Graphics are unimpressive as always considering the specs this game asks for.
Mouse movement does not feel linear.
Aim down sight change of sensitivity is too extreme.

Basically the same shit every single game carries over from console these days then hey? Quite literally the laundry list you can level at every single multiplatformer.

Why can't they just leave it like COD4 so we can actually edit this shit?

Hopefully there is a console enable function somewhere, I would love to see that so I can fix most of this.

Yeah, The Dude has to wait until a patch. It makes me angry when I die because the game lag won't let me fire my gun.

Good to hear it runs decent on your rig since we have the similar specs apart from the GPU.

Eh, bugger it. If it's not working that well today, then I can easily wait for tomorrow. No sense stressing myself trying to get my payment options working.

I remember when Prototype ran like crap on my old PC even though I had dual 4870's. People we pelting the Activision forums scream for a patch....still haven't got that patch. Hopefully Treyarch does something and not leave it up to Activision.

Well mutliplayer runs perfectly too, only issue is other people lag pretty badly. My ping goes to 150 when in spec mode, but when playing it stays below 50 so thats good. I'm please to be untouched by fail errors for once.

Also MP mode has console and an FOV setting!

Oh and a double barrel shotgun, ****ing A! That was the best thing in World at War!! I'm going to be double barrel whore now ^_^

I'd be guessing Friday/Sat for a patch. It did seem to smooth out but still laggy enough to cause unforseen deaths and screen lockups!

Its gonna be pretty fun I think :) pretty deathmatchy though.

Pleased to see decent gun noises in this game. Treyarch tend to fall over in that regard.

Hesitation is a bitch.

I had the opportunity to get it for the 44 off D2D.

Now it's unavalible in my country, tried used various VPN and ip maskers, the page won't load.

Might have to find someone from the US to gift me on Steam. [WTF]
