Agreed. As a console gamer, all the technical talk is really annoying me. I just want to hear impressions, etc.dskillzhtown said:

I don't hold much hope for IW doing so, with the huge loss talent to Respawn Entertainment. Activision won't allow it. And really, I still want to see the ending for MW2's story. Theres still some meat on those bones.
But, that shake up I am expecting (and hoping for) from Respawn. Its just gonna be a while before it happens...

So.... does anyone have any impressions of the MP, SP, anything thus far? Sick of reading about tech specs.

Well it looks like my preload with D2D failed to work so now I am stuck redownloading the game on steam.Max said:D2D codes are out! And it looks to be activated on Steam in NA as well?
Edit:I definitely have all the files on my computer from the preload - trying to get them to work again.

Indeed, except for these small details:DenogginizerOS said:
Also, fire is a little better on the 360 version, on the PS3 it looks a little blurry; just a tad more smoke and dust on the 360 version; and lastly, lighting is a little better too. But as I said, it's a marginal difference.

Just picked mine up FINALLY. Gonna bang out the SP right now. Marathon INITIATE.
Going to play my first Zombies game with friends, back with impressions in a bit.
Edit: Had some major problems with the invite system already. Apparently friends will not see the invite you send in-game unless they're in the SP version of Black Ops (for zombies) keep that in mind. No idea if an actual Steam invite works.

Does anyone else feel like Infinity Ward does gunplay much better. I don't know exactly what it is but I always feel like the Infinity Ward games are much tighter. Don't even know what I'm trying to say here I just like the feel of their COD's better.:lol Don't get me wrong I'm having fun, will play this for the next year and can't tell you how happy I am the skys are no longer raining bullets down.
There are a few shadow details that are not present in the PS3 version, indeed. Then again, there's some stuff on the 360 like that shaking wire bug at 00:16 that doesn't happen on the PS3, so honestly, you can pick weird things from both sides.
Also at 01:06 the 360 is taking quite a bit to stream two of the guy's textures. Durr..

Really disappointing to hear about the PC performance. I was planning on picking up the PC version today and the PS3 version probably next week to play with friends from work, but in light of these new issues I think I'm going to switch that around and get the PS3 version today and PC version as soon as they fix these performance issues.
Does anybody have a sample of the 30 sec. Youtube upload from the game? Curious about the quality of video.

Also on front page of Gametrailers, oddly enough. Scroll down to find it there.

Still debating doing the same since yesterday (360 though), been watching the pc stream that was posted a few pages back and there does appear to be a lot of lag.

Indeed. I thought I smelled something fishy last night while playing (snagged my copy early) cause the other team had a new care package like every 15 seconds, which was pissing me off. But the thing is, we were not losing bad enough (not enough people dying) for those kind of care packages to be showing up.
But then I thought .. "NAH, Treyarch couldn't be THAT dumb!"
I guess Treyarch never played MW2, or paid attention to its launch.

Good to hear they know what the problem is and are looking into it. Hopefully they get it fixed soon.

See, I can do it too (there were obviously a few issues on the PS3 side, mostly, as you said, with smoke and fire particles in the background).

Yeah, I don't see how that's wasn't the FIRST thing that they playtested. I mean, it was a major problem in MW2 and was so easily exploitable and game-breaking that you would think they would have it all sorted out. But to be figured out within the first 9 hours of the game being commercially available? Jeez, that really sucks.PaNaMa said:

Does the PS3 version support 7.1 audio?

True, but the textures when loaded in that top pic look better, more defined on the 360 version to me. Don't know why that would be ... they are both sub-hd? Higher textures res?

Been playing finally for a few hours, liking it, level 18 or something I think when I stopped.
Admittedly this is only my 2nd CoD game, first time 'sequel' sorta so I'm enjoying having something similar but different.

From the way people are talking, it just seems to me like they needed more time for optimization and didn't get it.
just played 90 mins against bots to get into the rythm
Athlon II X4 @ 3.5 ghz, 4 gig DDR2 (!), GTX480
1080p 16*AA everything max, ~50fps with lows in the 30s ... so dropped to 4*AA and still at ~50 fps etc ... (MW2 = ~120 fps at these settings) ... guess there's some bug somewhere
looking at my G510 LCD app it only taxed core 2&3 at around 70%, 1&4 much lower ... only each time when loading a new map it goes to 100% on 4 cores for about 5 seconds, but I doubt it's CPU limited during gameplay
I switched to overclocked GPU on settings on the fly a couple of times (MSI Afterburner key shortcut), but that didn't change the fps either
so if neither the CPU nor GPU is fully loaded I guess there's some load balancing bug somewhere
graphics looked OK to me, but the explosions in killcam have a really huge but low res sprite :/
still was pretty playable, mouse control was excellent =] and I loved the gameplay/gunplay =] =]

Calm down dude, if you see my post history you'll notice I'm mostly (or at least were) a sony fanboy. :lol
I just posted what I noticed. About the wire bug, well, it happens, bugs are everywhere, I just noticed different textures on the PS3 version. And the things I said, etc.
