Call of Duty Demo
 

I played it a couple of minutes ago and it's intense. It's kind of short but man your adrenaline will be pumping as you mow down Nazis with your squad. It's up at fileplanet and other gaming websites.

FUCK YES!!!!!!!!! Didn't know there was a demo!!! This game looks like the MOH killer! Thanks for the heads up Hrothgar!!! As you can probably notice *pant, pant* I am REEEEEEAALLLY excited about this game!

How long did it take you to play through the demo? Debating about downloaing it this weekend.

In case you're not aware, there was quite a large fuss over the Call of Duty demo. It was going to be released only to Fileplanet subscribers for a one week exclusive but a group of fansites took issue with this. Then earlier today or last night Activision released this response:

Thats pretty cool, so we all get to play the demo quite a bit earlier thanks to these guys and their complaints. I downloaded the demo earlier today and the game is pretty fun. Its hard to tell how it stacks up to say MOH:AA with only 1 level, but the emphasis on squad based combat is appealing. The aiming with the right click is also unique and something I haven't seen. I wish there was multiplayer. :(

Cool. I had read about it awhile back. I havent been reading about games lately. I was real into Medal of Honor online. Fun as hell game. Hope this is as fun online.

I'll throw in what led to Activision's response above.


Played the demo a few hours ago. Nothing to wake the place up like machine gun fire up the wazoo.

Truth be told, I only realized of the game's existance when I saw on Blues News that a bunch of sites that are normally competitors made a stand and boycotted Fileplanet's exclusive. I had been waiting all day for the release of the LO:MAC demo. Of course, Ubi Soft steps in and says "it's done, we'll just sit on it for a month".

Out of sight, out of mind should be my new mantra after playing this waiting game.

Gents all I have to say us whoa!!! This made me sweat. If you dont have EAX; get it.

I got the demo last night and at first I wasn't sure what to make of it. It starts out with the exact, Exact same opening shot of MOHAA. It thought this was going to be a cheesy ripoff but I was sorely, sorely mistaken. It looks and plays phenomenally. I definitely get it when it comes out. Which is good because I had such high hopes for Day of Defeat which kind've sucked IMHO. Download this demo!

I absolutely love the fact that you have proper manuoevers like the sidestep, prone and target which were all sorely missing from MoH. The greatest aspect of this game is how you are actually with a squad during the whole mission, much like the tag-line they're using "The War was not won by one man, but by the lives of many...".

When the emplacements are shooting out of the window in the hotels in St Mere Eglise is looks phenomenonly realisitic, the muzzel flash from they heavy artiliery is fantastic.

I could go on for hours praising this game, I had high hope, they were delivered and then they were smashed beyond any hope possible, this game is truly amazing.

p.s. hopefully the entire 24 missions will be the same!

My favorite part in the demo was when you got to the ruined wall segment. The nazis appeared intelligent, and would duck under cover to reload and so forth. It took some time to pick them off properly, it reminded me of a duck shoot - but it also seemed very realistic and well done.

my god the aa guns are huge, is there like 8 huys manning them, i love thowing a grenade into the middle and watching them all fly away

Call of Duty Demo is sweet!
 

i just played through the short but really fun demo of Call of Duty. I think you can only get it on fileplanet if you're a subscriber though.

edit: thanks for moving it, totally didn't see the topic :)

Ahhh, finally somthing to curb my withdrawl from MOH, This title will not release quickly enough for me.

my preview
 

here's my preview of the new Call of Duty Demo:

.MrWynd's Call of Duty Preview

hope you like it

Nice preview MrWynd :) Has anyone run up the field with the dead cows and been really close to an explosion? It's amazing, the sound hollows out and your vision blurs! Just like what would happen in real life.

It's a little embarassing to admit it but this game has given me shellshock (while playing that is), I suppose playing it with the sounds up realllllly high on a big screen doesn't help. It's just so damn intense... I bet WW2 vets would agree that this has captured the ferocity of the Second World War.

The shell shock effects are pretty damn cool. (You can clear 'em a little faster by "shaking your head" - ie moving your mouse back and forth real fast.

I've played and/or seen the developers play through several of the other levels that aren't in the demo (I love my job sometimes). They're just as good, if not better.

I can't WAIT for this game. Actually, I can't wait for mid-next month when I'm supposed to get a beta build!!!!

Just finished the demo. Absolutely loved this thing. Didn't even know it existed till I read it here. Definately will be buying it.

Just loved the muzzle flashes from those german machine guns.

Damn fine game, excellent graphics and AI.

It's amazing, the first rush across the cow fields, confronted by mortar fire and machine guns, ducking behind a fence that doesn't stop bullets very well....intense was a good word for it.

Well like it very much but i think the demo is a little short. but very very cool;)

The demo is short (20 mins?) but very cool and intense...

It takes a few minutes getting used to the drkness and stuff, but very fun to play!

VERY cool demo! Does anyone know if you can play multiplayer co-op in the story mode? Specifically two player?

My buddy and I got hooked playing "story mode co-op" on Doom 2 several years ago. I get frustrated when FPS'ers come out with multiplayer mode that you can only play in a "Deathmatch" or PvP type scenario. If I want to get laughed at or sworn to in l33t d00d talk, I can always buy EQ...

This game's awesome. I hope the full game is just as exciting.

There are so many WWII fps out there...but this one looks like it'll be cool none the less. I can't believe how many people in my squad kick the bucket...I memorized one of my squad member's names and at the end of the level, I didn't see him anywhere. I've done that three times and never met any at the end.

There are already some mods released just for this demo, including a realism mod, a mod that lets you play as axis, etc.

Certainly seems encouraged that a game is getting so much community support while still in the demo stage.

The Shell shock is off the wall and the way that the NPC Characters display the names it's like watching a movie.

Anyone play the promo release? WOWOWOWOW I played it, it includes like 5 missions instead of the 1 included in the demo. You get to try out some other factions (Russia, English, American, some other one) Its soooo incredible! This one might be worth my money if they can make some decent netcode for it and play MP.

Call of Duty
 

Edit: Call of Duty

Man I just downloaded the demo on this and I have to say it reminds me so much of Metal of Honor. I can't wait for the full version to come out. In the mean time, I'll keep playing the demo.

where can i get the promo release?

I dont think netcode will be a problem, Grant Collier the president of Infinity Ward hangs out in the COD resource site and is talking well with the community. He has even given an e-mail addy for ppl to write and suggest ideas for COD and the future of the game. Lets hope Activision will listen better than EA has.

PS, Try looking for the Dawnville demo if you can find it, More intense than the orginal demo.

What you mean by more intense? More missions? How many?

btw: i think telling you where to get the promo release would be considered warez, so i cant really tell ya.

just demoed it too. Kicks some serious but. Deffinately a MOH killer!

hm, downloading it now, im anxious to check it out now
