Head Tracking with Cliffs of Dover

perhaps you'd like to try that one again?
and don't be rude

Why everytime there is a discussion about Freetrack the end is always FT vs. TIR and copyright infringments?? The question here was "will COD support FreeTrack?". So, if NP couldn't shut down freetrack website i think there is no patent infringments and is only speculation...

nah... its obvious there is copyright infringement

not really, NP were within their rights to stop people using their dll, but when they stop developers from using their own way of relaying information to other devices this is simply anti-competitive behaviour (don't do it or you wont get TIR).
Unfortunately, this sort of crap is bogging down the planet these days, it's often dressed up as "IP" protection, but what it often really is is "my company has more money and better lawyers, don't p*ss with us".

The question still remains. Will freetrack work in COD? I refuse to buy trackIR.

Perhaps UBI will actually get something right and block (through DRM) it out? unless of course FT has their own bits and pieces, which don't infringe on anyone elses' copyrights, and have asked professionally for the developers to test and include it.

As I have understood, the FT did use the TIR interface in the past as it was the only way to get the tracking info in the game. Even then they had their own interface, it just wasn't used by any game.

As NP encrypted their interface, the FT community became more loud in their requests for game devs to include the FT interface. And in some happy cases they have done so.

Hmmm. Half of the gamers use FT. I dont believe all those people will rush out to buy TrackIR. It's funny, half of my squadmates are using Trackir and they are having problems. Software is frezzing, that flimsy clip doesn't want to stay in position etc. The other half is happy and problems free. Look what happened with Arma2. Users created a big fuss and now is suported. Suicide for COD will not be the lack of dynamic campaign and bla,bla,bla but tracking support or better, lacking of "some" head tracking support. ~S~
