2 Minute video showing details of the CoD urban modelling at high speed.;) All full settings

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtNS8uNL1fw

I recorded at slow speed and corrected with movie editor to ensure a smooth image. :)

The close-up detail of the city is amazing and unmatched. This game is ahead of its time, we still need some more hardware development for this game to be fully appreciated. :)

Please view in full HD for best effect. :)

What do you guys do to escape Nintendo's Super Mario green? Time of the day? Graphic driver tweaks?

Nice video BTW.

friggin fantastic. Only missed a guy on a bike (from fmb).

Can understand that shooting at english symbols like that upsets one or two. I'd left that out.

just made me realize some immersion breakers over London: lack of sidewalks, lack of painting in the streets; those could have easily been drawn onto textures with no impact on performance whatsoever; the lack of these features make London look like a bunch of houses cluttered in the field with village roads in between... the main problem is that it doesn't end up looking very 'urban' at low alt... but nice vid anyway

Strangely, I thought the video would have been even better without the shooting...just looking at the Spit in all her glory was enough. But still, nice vid. :)

The detail of the dust cloud/debris is amazing: appears to include broken glass pieces where windows were hit as in the video. This effect results in a huge cpu muncher. The fps drops drastically when you close up to such a debris dust cloud.

while shooting at other planes with people inside is better? Or dropping bombs on buildings? It's a war sim man..

The football/soccer was a bait.
Here's another one: why do some call themselfs english when they really are brittish?

I wish England where better cause I don't like La Liga or the primadonnas in Serie A but fact is they suck right now just like France.
Sven-Goran tried to shape em up but didn't go all the way.

I can understand the shooting of various objects in order to see what happens. I can even understand doing that to important historic monuments and buildings. But setting those actions to this type of music defies all logic to me.
I see nothing of the grace and beauty of the music reflected in what I see, speaking from a purely creative perspective.
I just don't get it.

biltongbru, don't listen to the critiques, some people just have nothing better to do than playing political correctness sheriffs and putting down others' work, you did a great job like the rest of your videos, I actually wish that your colour settings could be applied to CoD.

Once again I would appeal for a reality check before posting such comments on the discomfort of seeing buildings being strafed..

Indeed!

Shooting up major monuments is bad enough and a Court Martial offence resulting in being cashiered (like a certain Mr Pollock).

Shooting up Chez Ma'am is definitely treason, its the Tower and the Block for you my boy! And a queue of people wanting to get their hands on the Axe!


EDIT: hmmm.... I think Sternjaegers next on the list :)

It is done especially. It is prohibited by laws of many countries (to destroy some objects in video games).
Say in Il-2 (original) we were not able also to destroy some historical buildings (objects) due to this reason.

well if that's the key of interpretation that you want to give to Oleg's statement feel free, what I read there is "the law in some countries tells that you can't destroy symbolic buildings in videogames, whilst it's perfectly ok to bomb other things or shoot ppl dead.. go figure.."

It's the same nonsense of the prohibition of the swastika in model kits in countries like Germany, as in saying that building a 1/72 scale Bf109 with accurate Nazi markings will somehow magically turn you into a Nazi fanatic..

Now then, Mr Sternjaeger, I said it made me feel uncomfortable, not that I seriously wanted legal action or a banning of such vids, or physical damage to old biltongbru (whose vids are tremendous).

It made me squirm in my seat a little bit is all.:)

:) I was surprised at the height of Nelsons Column,maybe it is because we have got used to the modern skyline which is alot higher now and lack of other buildings around.
The houses at times look like rows of railway carriages.
A good video though and something the developers should have been doing to promote the game.
I am surprised by the smaller details when they haven't got some larger basics correct ie engine sounds,cockpits and lack of some landmarks and inaccurate maps.
You state you had to edit it to get it to show smooth
"I recorded at slow speed and corrected with movie editor to ensure a smooth image."
What was the quality of the gameplay before editing?
Thanks for the video ,very nice.:)

Thanks Trumper:)

You can reduce game speed up to 1/16 of normal speed.

With my "outdated" rig (intel 4 core and GTX480 card) the gameplay at normal speed was stuttering with flickering and pop-ups but depending on the amount of objects on the screen the fps changed between 10 and 30.

The video fps is 25. If you record at 1/16 game speed then a game fps of 2 will result into a perfectly smooth video when normalized to the correct game speed in the movie editor (Sony Vegas). Even all tree and building flickering disappears with the final video. With the slow game speed I do not experience building pop-ups either.:)

Again I think this game is ahead of its time; we need the future super computers to run this game like soap and then it will be appreciated for what it is intended for.:)

I had no problem with a reasonable PC to land and taxi up too the Palace at about 20fps, occasional small pauses if I looked around but smooth otherwise, not too much popup, but when I tried to record, it crashed the game, havent had that happen yet, unlike others. I have settings high to max except forest is medium and so is ground shadows, everything else on except SSAO and EP, they have done a lot in short space of time, when I think that I couldnt face land when the game was released without it dropping to 1fps.

I do only run at 1680x1050 as im still using a 22in lcd.

Nice video by the way, I wish they would have building crossing roads , but Im sure someone can straighten the roads, buidings etc out some day, it does still look quite good imo.

I'm not too sure about that. Alot of things in this sim have been done sloppy and I can't rid the feeling that the code is not optimized. Focus has been on functionality.
Luthier himself said that next patch will be even more optimized for quads or over to the extent that frames are almost doubled.
That would give me a smooth London ride with my iMac.
But I agree that anything pre2011 is probably not enough to see all the candy even when optimized.

Lets introduce some context here:

Auschwitz

Treblinka

Belsen

and many other camps.

20 Million Russians killed.

6 million Jews killed.

And Europe devastated.

oh, and 56,000 RAF bomber crew members killed.


I suggest you think before posting about allied firebombing:rolleyes:
