People are in denial on this game so they blame XP. Case in point. Look at Tuckie's video with 50 some odd planes in the air in offline test. He has a latest system. There is obvious stuttering and he had to tone down the graphics to get it playable. Now I remind you, the game advertised 128 player online capability. Ask yourself, "how it that going to happen?" Everyone would have to tone down the graphics settings to bare minimum on their latest hardware systems? I don't know about you, but when I start getting lag stutters online, I'm out of there. So, it's just a dream this CLoD. All the crazy things people are willing to do here to get the game to function. It's admirable, but not rational. And telling people to throw money at this game is nonsense right now. Just wait until they fix it so we know what we are dealing with. Every patch so far seems to change the game radically. If luthier announces that fps may improve by 50%, then wait and see if it is the truth or not before doing anything. JMHO.:!:

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.
