I setup facetracknoir in conjunction with a PS3 Eye camera a few days ago and after some tweaking I'm very impressed by how well it performs in CloD and other games. FTN tracks at 50fps/640x480 resolution and as long as the lighting is good I get very smooth and responsive face tracking. CPU usage (i5 2500k) is around 10-15% but has had no impact on game performance so far.

Face tracking is so immersive and I'd highly recommend it if you're on a budget or the idea of wearing leds doesn't appeal.

I tried FTN/Ps3 eye before I ordered my trackir and I found it very jumpy no matter what the settings and it ate up loads of cpu, about 25% of my i5 2500k. It had potential and I reckon if I spent the time on it I could get it to a sweet state but I have spent to much time messing around with various games/mods and programs recently that I just want something that works as I want it straight off for a change so I went for trackir.

If I only had one or 2 games that I would ever really use face tracking for then I would probably have taken the time with FTN/ps3 eye but seeing that I already own 6 trackir enhanced games and will buy 2 more soon I figure it is worth going the whole hog.

My cpu usage was higher to begin with too but just sitting a tad closer to the camera (I usually sit quite far from my monitor anyway) and getting good even lighting cuts down it's workload dramatically.
