Well, it seems clear. If anyone comes on here and asks how to get CoD to run on his system the answer should be "You can't. The game is porked, so shelve it and come back in 6 months to see if any patches have fixed it. But probably not, so just go away. Period."

Meanwhile, the rest of us that CAN get CoD to run well will stop wasting our time trying to assist those who can't and convince ourselves that we're not enjoying this sim immensely.

Not sure why, in this case, that this forum has any reason to exist any further -- but there you have it.

Of course you can tweak the game to a certain degree of playability and that should be encouraged. CloD right out of the box without any tweaking is a performance nightmare but this can be improved by very simple means. Don't fool yourself though, this is a game with performance issues and as I said before, I still enjoy the game for what it is and it's going to get even better.

Also, I loooove all the placebo fixes people come up with here, RAM cleaners, pagefiles etc. Being a network technician by trade it's almost cute reading about it all.

The community is full of idiotic fanboys.


"WHAT YOU ONLY HAVE SIX GIGS OF RAM??? LOL UPDATE YOUR RIG BEFORE YOU BLAME THE GAME!!!!"

$8 million dollar slush fund goes a long way with certain fanboys.

(just a little joke)

I think the only "idiotic" thing is to seperate our community in haters and fanboys!

I still believe that we all want this sim to become the gem that already appears from time to time.

To blame everything on the hardware is as stupid as blaming everything on the software!

But to promote systems from the past is definitely a dead end, imo.

There is no reason to rag and rant about the BOB COD any longer.

It is what is is, and most of us have reasoned it out.

It will be fixed when it is fixed. If you don't have the right system spec you definitely won't be doing much with it for now.

Maybe when more issues are worked out the devs will have time to try to resolve some issues for lower lever systems.

So... this thread is locked and you that want to rant and wail need to take it elsewhere...

The COD is working adequately for many users with upgraded system.


Robtek... the separate community seems to be pointing more towards the banned and unbanned.
Those that persist will join the former (banned) with their persistent negative talk.
