Best settings for Call of Duty 4 on the new Imac's

Hello all. Not really PC gamer but decided to purchase this game to go along with my new iMac (Early 09 24" 3.06 with GT 130) and Bose speakers..
Just wanted to know if I can play this game at full graphic settings without without any lag of some sort. What settings are you guys using? I must say that it does look good but not as crisp and smooth as the PS3 version, maybe I'm wrong..or have the wrong settings.
Any insights or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to bump this thread so I can adjust the setting when I get home from work =)

Playing Call of Duty II on my new MacBook Pro... Not Good!

Hey
Just bought a brand new MacBook Pro with ALL the trimmings - and Call of Duty II makes my mac run like I was playing on a Commodor 64.
Does anybody had the same experience - and have you found patches or updates that fixes this problem?
Thanks!
Mikkel

Well, I can offer some things that helped me out *a lot*.
First, I also suffered interminably from my MacBook Pro's malaise while doing 3D gaming-- wondering why I was running games so poorly on a piece of iron that was relatively recent. So, here are the solutions I tried in order.
1) Increased my 2GB of RAM to 3GB of RAM via a Crucial.com RAM purchase. Cost me $100 bucks. I think it was worth it for my gaming and other needs. I have to say that this change alone I did before I ran the Call of Duty 2 demo. I own Crysis and found that the expanded RAM only improved my gaming slightly (~30%). With Crysis and 3GB of RAM, I still had chunky gameplay and I found that 1024x768 was largely unplayable when there was a lot of action on the screen.
2) I made sure that both Bootcamp and Windows XP had all of the latest software updates. Run "Automatic Update" from XP (I'm assuming you're running XP) and then use Apple's "Software Update" mechanism (search for it, if you can't find it) that Apple has built into Windows in order to update Apple's software on the Bootcamp side of the house, too.
3) I downloaded the "Mobility Modder" application (you can get it at driverheaven.net for free) that runs under XP and Vista. Someone else on the forums suggested it, and I also recommend it. It let me tweak the settings of my ATI Radeon card (check to see if your brand and model of card is supported) and then download the latest drivers for my MacBook Pro. (Personally, I have an ATI Radeon X1600 card in my MBP.) The app is free. Also, when you download the new ATI drivers you get this "free" application called EarthSim. It's very cool and when I plugged my MacBook into my HDTV using a DVI-->HDMI cable, it was beautiful seeing the earth on the screen. Absolutely gorgeous!
4) Finally, ensure you download an app like WinClone and backup your Windows partition before you start tweaking stuff (or after, if you're feeling adventurous). I find that it took me eons to get all my software working correctly in XP and it prevents a major re-installation of stuff should you change a setting on something that suddenly hoses something.
5) Lastly, there are those pesky graphics settings in Call of Duty 2. Do not let the app make the "recommended graphics suggestions" for you! It'll give you horrible eye-candy. I haven't copied down my settings (to share with you), but I can tell you that I changed it to 1024x768. Turned on 2x anti-aliasing. SyncEveryFrame was set to OFF. I also turned OFF the other setting underneath SyncEveryFrame. Most other stuff I turned on or set to at least NORMAL. Naturally, YMMV.
I manually changed almost all of the settings to try to take advantage of the "new" horsepower my MacBook Pro was packing with the Mobility Modder app having put me in fighting shape.
Good luck!

24" iMac + Call of Duty 4 (MW): Setting up graphics for multiplayer

Any savvy iMac Call of Duty 4 (Modern Warfare) players out there? I'm having a hard time finding posts at Aspyr or online that directly related to the ideal graphic settings for the game, using an imac 24". The manual that came with the game also doesn't explain any of the settings. Could any good players who have the game running smoothly on an imac 24" please share.
I have heard some guys dummy down all their settings to try and get the best fps possible, but when I do that, it never changes my fps.
So far this is how I have mine set for multiplay, but I know I'm missing things:
Multiplayer Game:
Video mode: 1024X768(lots of screen sizes available)
Refresh: 60HZ (the only setting available)
Aspect Ratio: Auto
Sync Every time: No
Specular Map: No (What is this?)
Depth of Field: Y
Glow: Y
Number of Dynamic Lights: N
Soften Smoke: Y
Ragdoll: Y
Bullet Impacts: Y
Model Detail: N
Water Detail: N
Thanks everyone.

Hello pathfinder31,
I have just got this game thinking it would run great on my mac. But on mine the frames really dip when there is lots going on. I`ve tried lowering the settings, but from what I can tell this doesn't help. There seems to we very little information on the net about the Mac version of this game. If you have found some good settings please let me know as I`m a little disappointed with it.
Cheers

Chat: 'Call of Duty: Black Ops Chat', Tue Nov 02
5:56 PM DavidVo: Hi all.
5:56 PM DavidVo: Did you know Dan Bunting is a member of SOG?
5:56 PM DanBu: That can't be confirmed.
5:56 PM DavidVo: Ready for launch Dan?
5:56 PM DanBu: What?
5:56 PM DanBu: We're launching?
5:57 PM DavidVo: I think the game comes out on 11.09.10 or something.
5:57 PM DanBu: Oh right.
5:57 PM DavidVo: Maybe you should tell someone at Best Buy.
5:57 PM DavidVo: They might want to get some copies in the stores.
5:57 PM DavidVo: They are doing to need "a couple."
5:58 PM DanBu: Don't tell anyone... I've got a few copies.
5:58 PM Josh-BBY: Hey Call of Duty Gamers! We're about to start the chat
shortly. Stay tuned, we have some awesome talent from Treyarch to give you the
low down on their latest title: Black Ops!
5:58 PM DavidVo: NO WAY!
5:58 PM DavidVo: Dan, Josh must be talking about me.
5:58 PM DanBu: Yeah, if he had said "lack of talent", that
would have been me.
5:59 PM DanBu: As long as it was "awesome lack of talent".
5:59 PM Josh-BBY: I don't know... I’m kind of partial to Dan's video
presence. He's got a lot of moxxy.
5:59 PM DavidVo: I'm already scared by chat user EpiiCFAiiLURE.
5:59 PM DavidVo: Be gentle, Epic, and we will do the same.
6:00 PM DanBu: I think I know some of these people.
6:00 PM DavidVo: the_FPS_KING is here to teach us something about FPSes,
I think.
6:01 PM DavidVo: They are trying to tell me not to curse. That's some
6:01 PM DanBu: What the **bleep**???
6:03 PM DanBu: Technical difficulties. Stand by.
6:03 PM Josh-BBY: Wow... let's keep it clean kids.
6:03 PM DanBu: Are you referring to me?
6:04 PM DanBu: Hi to all!
6:04 PM toughniko31HD: hi!
6:04 PM capzlol: hi
6:05 PM ThisGuy107: What is the hardest thing about making a game that
looks this great!?
6:05 PM DanBu: Great question ThisGuy107. I would say the hardest thing
about making games like this is having to cut features that you love. We had a
ton of fun making this game, and it's a lot of hard work. But there are always
those features that you really wanted to make it that didn't quite get there.
6:07 PM noobeffect: Will PC players see numbers or bars in the
ping/latency column on the scoreboard?
6:07 PM DavidVo: Hi Noob. PC gamers have a ping column on the
scoreboard. It refreshes really fast.
6:08 PM Jarsh019:
Are canadians in BO?
6:09 PM DanBu: Hi Jarsh. Only in the online lobbies.
6:10 PM karamvir: What level are you guys in Blackops currently
6:10 PM DanBu: Karamvir... I'm max prestige 15. But that's only because
I cheated.
6:10 PM DavidVo: Level 50, Prestige 15 of course on my main profile.
But, most others are in the mid 20s. We are always starting fresh profiles to
keep testing the rank progression.
6:13 PM Dispy: What took the longest time to make in Black ops (no
spoilys please )
6:13 PM DanBu: Hey Dispy... Adding the currency system to the game was
one of our biggest changes and took the longest time to implement and tune. It
was a big change, but it was worth the effort and time put into it for sure. Also, the Theater feature was over a year in
development.
6:12 PM apocalyptix81:
what server settings can we change on a ranked server on the pc side?
6:13 PM DavidVo:
I saw a recent version of RCON. It's a lot of settings for both rented ranked
and even more for unrented ranked. I am working with @pcdev to get the FAQ
updated. We haven't released the full list but I think most PC
server admins should be satisfied. Sorry, I mean a lot for rented UNRANKED.
6:15 PM the_FPS_KING:
I totally would teach you something about FPSes if you gave me a chance
lol...anyways, @David - Your twitter bio says "Just remember, when the
game comes out we thought of it first." Is this in reference to an aspect
of the game that hasn't been revealed yet? And if so, will you elaborate? Plz
6:16 PM DavidVo: I am sure you would. Honestly, I get asked this
question a lot but have never answered it. The truth is pretty simple. A lot of
people like to speculate and I like to wind them up. That simple.
6:17 PM chitownforlife:
Will barebones PC use pistols as a secondary weapon?
6:18 PM DavidVo: Barebones is no different on the PC than it is on the
consoles. Right now, we have all secondary weapons being available and most of
those weapons are pistols. But it's not specfically limited to pistols. Don't fret
tho. Most launchers need a lock on making them not so great vs infantry.
6:19 PM Lamonte:
is FOV changeable in the pc version?
6:19 PM DavidVo: Yes it is. The last time I looked at it personally you
could take it to 80.
6:20 PM BlackhawkDD:
Unranked or Ranked for tatical realism servers on the pc?
6:21 PM DavidVo: For a PC gamer, I would think you would be happier with
Unranked. Ranked does have hardcore and barebones, however. That's fairly
tatical in nature.
6:22 PM Josh-BBY: Hey everyone! We'd like to hear your general gameplay
and console questions too! Let your voice be heard!
6:22 PM satansspawn: On PC can we run 9v9 on all game types or are we
restricted for s&d
6:22 PM DavidVo: Absolutely.
6:22 PM F0dd3r: Would Treyarch be willing to balance perks, killstreaks
and weapons post launch if they are deemed overpowered by the community?
6:23 PM DavidVo: Most of the official ranked servers are set up this way
right now.
6:23 PM DanBu: Hey F0dd3r - Absolutely. It's always a controversial move
to balance features post-launch. But, Treyarch has always been a big proponent
of listening to the community and making changes that are popular.
6:24 PM ThisGuy107: Is there any new features or changes to the online
network that will either improve connection quality or make it easier for
friends to play with each other?
6:25 PM DavidVo: Many to help you play with Friends. All versions of the
game have a built in Friends list, for example. This can often be quicker than
using the PSN or Xbox versions (for example).
6:26 PM LevelUpAdrian: I've purchased a ranked server for the PC version
- if that's full on launch night, is there a way to remotely kick people?
6:26 PM DanBu: Yo Adrian! Yes, you will be able to kick and ban from
your ranked servers.
6:26 PM razdor: How will wager matches work on the PC? Will it use
dedicated servers that are up by Treyarch? If so, what will happen if all the
slots in those servers are taken at one point?
6:27 PM DavidVo: We have officially ranked Wager Match servers. Once the
6 fill up, the server doesn't allow anymore in. Think of it like a Dedicated
Server with 6 slots. Run by us.
6:27 PM Lionmouth: Will PC users be able to edit their MP configuration.
If so, how in-depth (edit crosshair placement, fov, tweak Aim-Down-Scope
settings)?
6:29 PM DanBu: You can edit the same
configs that you've always been able to edit, but those changes are not
supported by Treyarch.
6:28 PM Ovanite: What are the doing to keep the online multi from
becoming a knife fest with every one using the commando perk.?
6:28 PM DavidVo: Great question. We don't actually have the Commando
perk in Call of Duty Black Ops.
6:31 PM ABC_Darth_Rogue: Can we create mixed playlists such as CTF and
S&D on the same ranked server? Will the admin tool be included with the
game or third party like RCON? Will you be allowing Steam to permit users who
pre-purchase the game to pre-load the game files to avoid long download times?
6:32 PM DavidVo: You can tell the server which base Playlist and then
you can do exclusions. So as long as we have a playlist with mixed modes,
you'll be able to customize from their. For example: Ditching a map you don't
want in rotation.
6:33 PM capzlol: Im really only going to play this game if its
competitive and it probably wont be competitive until mod tools are out. So
what time do you think mod tools will be released?
6:33 PM DanBu: No ETA on mod tools release yet. The game will ship with
highly competitive modes like hardcore, barebones, and any number of custom
game modes that you create in the Custom Games editor. You've also got Wager Match
which is crazy intense! Most competitive I've felt playing a game in years.
6:35 PM papasmurf: I’m unsure about the reporting a cheat feature, how
will you be able to look at thousands of reports? and what do you have in place
for bogus reports?
6:35 PM DanBu: What up Smurf... So, we have people at Treyarch who have
a full-time job of monitoring all of the games you guys play. They also review
the stats for cheaters reported by the game and cheaters reported by other
players. There are all sorts of secret magical things happening behind the
scenes to track cheaters.
6:37 PM blackmamba18: So, I am more of a sniper...but I am really
aggravated when one weapon type is 10x better and easier to use. Can you please
explain how shotguns are being made into a balanced primary weapon?>
6:37 PM DavidVo: We have always felt that Shotguns are better as primary
weapons instead of secondaries so you have to give up any hope of winning a mid
or long range battle.
6:38 PM Linage: In the FAQ thread on the forums in the PC section it
said the Max players have not been finalized but that was some time ago. Is
there now an answer to the Max amount of players we can have in Ranked and
unranked servers on PC?
6:38 PM DanBu: Hello Linage... It's true they are deadly at close range
for sure. But that doesn't mean you can't win if you have an assault rifle or
smg. Current player counts are set to 18 players max on ranked and 24 on
unranked, but these numbers are always tunable post-launch. We'll be
aggressively supporting the title post-launch. Remember they often have far
less ammo or they have the rechamber time. Also, shotguns have fewer
attachments than other weapons available to them.
6:40 PM the_FPS_KING: Will you reveal some of the pro perks, that we
haven't seen, to us tonight? @Dan Sly Stallone impressions don't port to
text well, just an fyi
6:40 PM DanBu: I don't know if I should reveal such secrets yet...
6:41 PM DanBu: But okay... So you've probably heard about the Hacker
perk - it allows you to detect enemy placed equipment in the map. When you
upgrade to Hacker Pro, you can actually hack their equipment to switch it to
your possession without them knowing.
6:42 PM falcon3131: what gun do you think will be the most liked gun in
the game?
6:42 PM DavidVo: The one that you have the highest K with! I am hoping
that lots of guns will be most liked. The Famas is pretty popular. As is the
MP5k.
6:44 PM Harderstylez: How long we need for lvl50 (Playtime) And when can
we reserve our clantags? (sorry for my bad English)
6:44 PM DavidVo: What's up Harder. It's tuned for about 24 hours of
playtime. The best players in the building can do it in 20 or 21. Make sure you
do the Challenges and it goes quick.
6:45 PM xJollyLlama: Will "spawn-tubing" (firing a grenade
launcher from one team's spawn to the other) be changed, gimped, or completely
blocked in Black Ops? If so, how?
6:45 PM DanBu: JollyLlama... love the name One of our tier 1 perks is
called Flak Jacket. It protects you from explosive damage. I roll with this
perk all the time to frustrate noob tubers.
6:46 PM dazzy2010: general Gameplay Question : Why did you make the
decision for SCAVENGER not to REPLENISH Tubes and Flame thrower? me
personally i love using the MASTERKEY shotgun.
6:46 PM DanBu: As to spawn tubing... we've added a grenade launcher and
grenade delay to the beginning of every match to reduce noob tube spam. I love
the Masterkey as well. But, hey, balance trumps my love. So even if people fire
them, they won't detonate for the first 5-10 seconds depending on the size of
the map. At this point, if you have Masterkey, Flamethrower, or Grenade
Launcher, you are carrying A LOT of Firepower. We did it for balance reasons.
6:48 PM Sean-K: Have Treyarch made any changes to the melee attack? I.e
range, speed, crazy aim-assist on consoles (comparing a non-commando melee
attack of modern warefare to that of the one in black ops)
6:48 PM DanBu: Sean-K... great question. A lot of people want to know
about melee. You have probably heard by now that we don't have the Commando
perk in the game.
6:49 PM Morilec: Any possibility of downloading some of the game files
before release on Steam? I preordered and really want to be able to play this
on the release date.
6:49 PM DanBu: So, everyone has the same melee distance, range and speed
to keep it all on an even playing field.
6:50 PM DavidVo: Indeed. I'm almost positive we will have pre-load. I
wish I could give you an exact date but I don't have it yet.
6:51 PM ThisGuy107: Can you give us any total numbers for the amount of
guns, reticule colors, maps, emblems or anything else that would be cool to
know?
6:52 PM DanBu:
ThisGuy107... sorry for the delay. We have over 40 unique weapons, including 2
special weapons that only appear rarely in Care Packages... the Death Machine
and Grim Reaper. There are 16 camo patterns, over 500 emblems, 14 maps... I
could go all day on numbers. Custom red dots are about 30-35
6:51 PM TheProf82: What weapons can we use on unranked servers? The ones
we've unlocked in ranked? How do you see people playing on unranked servers if
they miss out on all the unlocking and prestiging stuff thats so great about
ranked servers?
6:51 PM DanBu: Hey Prof. You can play with all weapons on your unranked servers...
ranked is where you'll experience the full rank progression of competitive
play.
6:53 PM DavidVo: I have a question. Do you think Best Buy will give me a
free Prestige edition for answering questions?
6:54 PM Josh-BBY: David, let's talk after the chat. I think we can work
something out.
6:54 PM PDE_PaulKersey:
For PC, Is Ground War Mode (TDM+DOM) returning (hope not), or will TDM and
Domination be separate?
6:54 PM DavidVo: I just gave @PCDEV a version that does not have Ground
War. TDM and DOM are seperate playlists with 18 players. That's the current
plan. As a playlist, we can modify and change them over time easily.
6:55 PM dbNibbler: Will I be able to export my theater mode clip as a
video file?
6:55 PM DanBu: Hey Nibbler... yes, you will definitely be able to export
your videos to the web. There are still many more details to come on that, so
stay tuned.
Josh|Community Connector | Best Buy® Corporate

6:56 PM donovanmill: Are there any special bonuses for prestiging in black ops? And what is the FOV on consoles?
6:56 PM DavidVo: Many. Custom Classes; Colored Clan Tags; 15 bonuses; 1 for each of the 15 prestige levels. Including some unique backgrounds for your personalized emblem. Including one that so hot your keyboard would catch on fire if I told you what it was. Guess you'll have to get to level 15. Prestige level 15, that is.
6:58 PM XcLuSiv3: Are you guys planning on supporting Black Ops as much as World at war in the terms of DLC? Also, do you guys know if Activision is going to set the price at 800msp like Cod4 and WaW or 1200msp like MW2 or even more?
6:59 PM DanBu: We will absolutely support Black Ops DLC after launch. We plan on promoting the game post-launch this time even more than on World at War. We love you guys and want to make sure you keep playing the game.
7:00 PM abenjim: If you do a lot more damage to an enemy will you get more points for the assist like in WaW or is it a set assist score no matter what?
7:00 PM DanBu: Yeah, it's just like in World at War... you always get more assist points for doing more damage... We hate feeling cheated when someone else takes your kill!
7:01 PM Jinchuuriki13: Do all weapons have gold camo and what does it take to unlock gold camo?
7:01 PM DanBu: All primary weapons have gold camo. As to what it takes to unlock them... you'll have to Prestige to find out!
7:02 PM satansspawn: any chance of going to 24 slot ranked server??
7:03 PM DanBu: We will continue to look into supporting higher player counts post-launch for unranked servers, but when it comes to Ranked games, we keep it the way the game was designed to be played. The maps, game modes, and gameplay mechanics are all very fine-tuned over months and months to play a certain way... so when it comes to competitive ranked servers, it's going to be determined by the playlists.
7:05 PM razer4488: Would you ever contemplate of doing cross platform for the game so players can finally see who are the top dogs out of xbox,PC,ps3? (which would be PC no doubt)
7:05 PM DavidVo: I would! But this is something that will need to get settled between PS3 and XBOX before we can even get it near it.
7:06 PM Odis360: When will the servers be online?
7:06 PM DanBu: Odis360... Why? Do you have an early copy of the game?
7:06 PM DavidVo: I have one.
7:06 PM DanBu: I have 3.
7:06 PM DavidVo: Can you turn the servers on for me?
7:07 PM DanBu: Just for you Vahn. But you'll be lonely.
7:07 PM DavidVo: Because I want to school some n00bs before they get to good and I have to play in shame.
7:07 PM DanBu: Okay, just you and me then. Wait... did I just call myself a noob?
7:07 PM ortizrock666: Is host migration in MP/Zombies.?
7:08 PM DanBu: Yes, there is host migration in multiplayer.
7:08 PM GamerOfFreedom: Can we connect via IP to a server, will the FPS be limited and why did you decide to only let us use playlists and not free maprotation?
7:09 PM DavidVo: Using a playlist is something that it relevent for rented ranked servers. Unranked servers will give you more control. Even then, you'll still have a ton of control over the Playlist. It's like a nice suggestion and you modify (eliminate) what you don't want.
7:10 PM sagar-04: Can you elaborate on the Private match setting we can set? And, any date set for the LE unboxing videos?
7:10 PM DavidVo: I think people are going to be blow away by the things we've done with Private Match in this game. Let me give you some examples. You can make up to 10 classes loaded out with what you want and only what you want and then the players of your game will pick between those load outs. You can customize what killstreaks are in your game mode variant. Dan and I like to player Pistols + Shotguns only. In Nuketown. Of course, I win. Always.
7:12 PM DanBu: And I win. Only one of us is telling the truth.
7:12 PM Josh-BBY: And I win.
7:12 PM TheScissors: Is there 2 different zombie modes available?
7:12 PM DanBu: What have you heard Scissors?
7:12 PM DavidVo: This is the most customizable Private Match ever seen in a Call of Duty. I can't wait to play custom made game mode variants with fans.
7:12 PM DanBu: That's classified information. Maybe.
7:15 PM EpicLegion: Will Black Ops have a Coop campaign similar to World At War? And question about PC version of game, pings in scoreboard are going to be numeric format or bars(like in MW2)?
7:16 PM DavidVo: Two forms of co-op in Black Ops. Combat Training (play vs Practice Dummies) and Zombies (play with your friends). Both are games where you fight AI Campaign co-op wasn't something we decided to persue because it didn't make sense for the type of story we were trying to tell.
7:16 PM Josh-BBY: Since we've already responded to a lot of PC related questions is there any questions you have about the global playability or features in multiplayer in general? There've been absolutely zero single player questions FYI kids!
7:17 PM donovanmill: What other than kill/deaths and score will be visible through the leaderboards?
7:18 PM DavidVo: I heart Donovanmill. We actually totally ditched the old leaderboard systems and started over. In Black Ops, we use a Score per minute Average on weekly, monthly, and all-time leaderboards. This has a lot of advantages because it doesn't reward just the players who play a lot, but those who play the best. You can still check all those stats that were in the old leaderboards in something new we have called the Combat Record. It's an in-game stats viewer. You'll dig it.
7:20 PM Glorin: Do headshots matter, particularly with the more powerful assault rifles? In mw2 stopping power created a situation where many guns killed in two hits regardless of whether or not you aimed for the head. Since BO does not have stopping power, do any of the full auto weapons have damage that is this high?
7:21 PM DavidVo: We certainly have a hit multiplier for the head. So, it matters. But since we don't have Stopping Power so most guns are 3-5 shots. Only less if a headshot. One final point. A headshot is NOT ALWAYS a one shot kill. But it does matter. A lot.
7:22 PM FriendlyFire: What would be the single best feature of COD:BO?
7:22 PM DanBu: Why, Wager Match, of course. And especially Sticks and Stones... love that mode. *cough* One in the Chamber… Mainly throwing a tomahawk at Vahn's head and bankrupting him.
7:23 PM DavidVo: /ignore DanBu
7:24 PM DarkD75: How can I get into the launch party tomorrow night? I am in the San Fernando Valley area.
7:24 PM DanBu: Send $5000 to my PayPal account. I'll send you the details offline.
7:25 PM Josh-BBY: Wow. Swiss bank accounts have become PayPal accounts.
7:25 PM tornado: You said wager matches are hosted by Treyarch , however how does this really work? Am I going to get a good ping only if I live in the US?
7:26 PM DavidVo: Ok. So, we have servers all over the place. Not just the US. And we can re-configure them however we want as demand dictates. Most of the servers are under my desk at work so I can ping sub 10s. But don't tell anyone.
7:27 PM Lamonte: DLC for mw2 was just maps are we going to get more stuff in blackops DLC? (weapons, emblems, attachments, etc...) [Also ALL NEW maps and not old ones please]
7:28 PM DanBu: Lamonte... So, I can't really go into too many details about DLC plans. I mean, c'mon... the game's not even out! But I will say to stay tuned for exciting details. And also... lot's of NEW maps.
7:31 PM iNCQRiT: Will there be a votekick feature (console, pc)?
7:31 PM DavidVo: Ite depends on the server but the vote kick feature works for PC. How we do that for OFFICIAL RANKED we are still kicking around (on/off by default) Unrented Rank will be admin controlled/option. Consoles do not have a vote kick… They do, however, have a 3 strike rule. Finally.
7:32 PM tyshoun123: Can quick scoping be allowed in private matches? And will friends be able to join a started zombie game if someone leaves?
7:34 PM DavidVo: Sorry mate. You can't join a Zombie game in progress.
7:33 PM cameron23: Just curious but out of all of the team at treyarch who is the best? (at multiplayer) and will you guys be playing online when the game comes out or just sit back and watch?
7:33 PM DavidVo: Private Matches on consoles can disable people from joining. If you do that, you don't have to kick someone. Shew. Mouthful.
7:33 PM DanBu: Cameron... WayneNoobton is teh best. pwns DJVahn.
7:34 PM dazzy2010: Do the team think it was a good idea to have FMJ a perk instead of an ATTACHMENT ? Its great to see BLING making a return as WARLORD
7:34 PM DavidVo: Long inside story just for you. We had them as attachments. We had them as perks. We went back and forth so many times that I think engineering wanted to kill me. In the end, I am happy with putting Deep Impact as a Perk instead of an attachment. It made more sense for how our perks worked. The total number and what we were trying to do with them.
7:36 PM chriscooke327: Is there going to be a game list where players can see and join custom games or does the creator have to invite people?
7:36 PM DanBu: chriscooke... Really glad you asked that question because it's not something that we've talked much about. When you create a Custom Game, you have the ability to save it to your own personal File Share. Once it's in your File Share, anyone in the community can search for it and place it in their File Share as well. Your friends will be able to look at your File Share as well. Things other than Custom Games that go into your File Share: Films, Clips, & Screenshots.
7:38 PM jj2gamer: Is TWar back in codbo? And if not whats the reason for removing it?
7:39 PM DavidVo: You are trying to make me cry, is that it? I've previously announced that WAR will not be returning to Black Ops. We talked about it a lot. We fought about it even more. In the end, it didn't fit. War has it's fans and I love those people. Sometimes you have to make unpopular decisions for the best intrests of the game production. And, I'm positive we will find a way to re-imagine it in a way that makes sense for whatever game we do.
7:42 PM XReDBuLLEnErGyX: In Theater Mode you can record gameplay..but can we also record others voices through there mic (IN-GAME CHAT)
7:42 PM DanBu: No, you cannot record other players' voice chat in your Films, unfortunately. There were too many privacy concerns, and even if we wanted to do it, there is no technical way to pull it off on the consoles yet.

Can't get PS3 controller to work on iMac with Lion with Call of Duty 4.

I was able to pair my PS3 controller with my iMac, running Lion, but it will not do anything. I am trying to use it with Call of Duty 4. My bluetooth says it is connected to the controller. I really don't have any other games to try it on to see if it is a game compatability issue. Is this a known problem? How do I make it work?

There's one more way that the previously-existing Oracle directories on the other machines might be tripping you up - with registry settings. In particular, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\(some home)NLS_LANG registry key may be associated with the "invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified" error you're getting.
Of course, the Instant Client isn't supposed to have to mess with the registry, so that makes me suspicious. And I got Instant Client SQL*PLUS on a clean XP machine to work without setting an ORACLE_HOME. All this makes me suspicious that some stuff from outside your Instant Client is being run. I know you said you cleaned your environment variables, but double-check that the other Oracle directories are out of your PATH.
If you have permission to, you might want to thoroughly scrub the old Oracles from the other machines (starting with running the Oracle Installer, then hand-cleaning the registry, the c:\Ora92 or whatever directory, and then c:\Program Files\Oracle). If you have MetaLink, Document 74790.1 is a dated but good guide to cleanly de-installing an old Oracle installation from Windows. It's much more difficult than it ought to be; sometimes it feels like an Oracle home is never truly gone. If you can't do that, perhaps save a copy of your registry and then temporarily rename HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE to ORACLE_HIDDEN, or something - something to keep any existing registry settings from distracting your Instant Client.
Good luck!

Your video card appears to be missing one or more features required to run Call of Duty.
You should install the latest drivers for your video card, being sure to uninstall the old drivers first. If you already have the latest drivers, you should completely uninstall the drivers and then reinstall them. This fixes most problems. If the game still doesn't work, it may be that your video card does not have the minimum features required. Please check the readme for more information, including a list of supported video cards.
But i got direct rending and i tried to install the mesa-git and libgl-dri-git packages from AUR, but that didn't help.
Can somebody push me in the right direction?
Thanks

When he installed the new fibre hub, did he use his laptop to take settings off old white hub and put it on new one?... way to check is dial into the hub ( 192.168.1.254 ) go to setting and then wireless, and see if the hub name and key are the same that is printed on card and back of hub....as this could be your problem...one thing to try is set the new hub back to default ( you will have to reconnect anything that uses wireless ) and see if this sorts it out.

Call of duty 1.5 patch on intel working for anyone?

If anyone has seen my past posts you would know i have been having some problems with my 24" intel iMac and call f duty and call of duty United Offensive. Well to save you all the past posts..i have finally gotten the disks installed on my computer and running. the problem is if i try to install the 1.5 patch for COD. the installation doesn't happen. it stops installing at the start and looks like it will continue but never does. I called Aspyr and they said that the patch is not intel compatible and that it won't install. bummer. however they also told me that COD in general would not run on an intel or with my graphics card and it runs 100% better than COD 2 does....which runs like atari. has anyone installed the 1.5 patch successfully? if so how? thanks

ok guys...here is the NEW news. you may like this but lets not get our hopes up. don't bother trying to install the patch from your friends computer,i have talked to aspyr a few times over the phone about this the past couple of days and they said it can only be updated from the installer. no other way. I tried doing that too with no success. but i will now copy the email that i sent them and their responses. tell me how i did:)
*First email to them:*
+i have been having problems installing COD and UO on my 24" intel mac. If you check past tickets you can see what i mean. I finally got both CD's to install. the first CD installed without a problem the second CD i had to transfer the files by hand and not use the installer. now the next problem is the patch...or patches...(not sure if they made one patch to replace the two patches? but seeing as I have tried to install the patch before and it wont install i was wondering if there was a way i could install file by file instead of using the installer. could i get it done this way...if so where can i get the files or how can i extract them on my computer, thanks+
*their reply:*
+Thank you for choosing Call of Duty Deluxe for the Mac. Unfortunately, there is no way to install the patches besides running the installer.+
+What happens when you try to use the installer for the United Offensive patch?+
+Sorry we could not resolve this issue.+
+Have a great day.+
+-Aspyr Tech Support+
*My Reply to them:*
+when i try to install the installer it doesn't get past the first+
+second of installation. it just stays in the one spot forever and+
+never moves.+
+do i have to install 2 patches or is the one i have that says it is a+
+combined patch for cod and cod:uo enough?+
*their reply:*
+Ideally, you would need Call of Duty: Version 1.5 patch as well as the Call of Duty: United Offensive: Version 1.5.1 patch.+
+The issue you are having is related to the fact that these patch installers are old and do not run properly on Intel Macs. The first Call of Duty games are not Universal Applications and run under Rosetta emulation when using an Intel Processor. The patches also react adversely when trying to operate in the Intel processor environment.+
+Since this patch issue is also occurring with some games that are actually supported for play on Intel Macs we are trying to isolate and fix the problem for these patch installers first. Unfortunately, since Call of Duty and United offensive are not supported on Intel Macs, I cannot guaranty that we will rebuild these patch installers for this title.+
+The best way to keep informed about patch updates is to sign up for our newsletter here:+
+http://www.aspyr.com/news/newsletter_signup+
+Sorry I couldn't help you more.+
+Thanks for your patience.+
+Have a nice day.+
*Me again:*
+thanks for the info, i guess i waill just play under 1.4.... but honestly as a+
+customer that plays mac games and just bought an intel mac, you should seriously+
+try to fix that 1.5 patch. I bought COD2 and my friends and i still play COD:UO+
+because ...well frankly COD 2 *****. not sure if you have gone on to see how+
+many servers there are... but I see 10 times more servers running COD: UO than+
+COD 2. we buy new computers to play these games under better settings and then+
+find out that you guys don't want to fix them because they are "old" . if the new+
+game wasn't a horrible sequel with no vehicles to drive and many more issues,+
+people would be willing to switch but we are not. thanks, hope you guys listen. in+
+forums all over people talk about these things. COD:UO is still the Bar..+
+everything else falls short. and COD 4 is not a WWII FPS... thats a different+
+catagory so i can't say anything. i will be waiting for that too. thanks,+
+faithful consumer+
*Their last reply:*
Hello,
+We will fix it if possible.+
+I'm going to sit on this e-mail for a couple of days while we discuss some options.+
+I will contact you again in a couple of days.+
+Thanks for your patience.+
+Have a nice day.+
SO..WHAT DO YOU THINK? I Think i made a big enough stink that they actually might try to make a patch that works for us.

Call of Duty error

I just download the sample copy of Call of Duty... It ran very well with 1 gig of ram and highest video setting. Only problem when halfway through game I got the following error FS_Handleforfile:none free! what in the world is that error?
Fan kicked in around 70c and when I quit the game temp was 65c that was pretty impressive.

what i would try is to uninstall and reinstall call of duty, also make sure you dont have the settings where they exceed your system specs, ex, graphics card. that can cause some complications as well, but what it sounds like is a corrupted file that occured during install.

Call of Duty

Will my MacBook Pro be able to play the original Call of Duty? I am not looking to play Call of Duty 2.

I've been running Call of Duty with the 1.5c patch on my MacBook Pro for the last couple months. There's a couple graphics bugs in it (especially in the russian campaigns) but other than that I haven't seen any slowdowns. Oh, and I have everything in the performance settings turned up. Good luck.

Call of Duty: MW3 Play it Early!

Get EARLY ACCESS to special ops gameplay only at Best Buy®!
Monday, November 7th 8PM to 11:30PM
At select stores, we are allowing the first 200 people in line a chance to play Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare 3 before it launches at midnight.*
To find a participating Best Buy store location see http://bbyurl.us/MW3, hover over the “In-Store Demo” section on the landing page, and then select your State and City.
*Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is an M-Rated title. Must be 17 or older with valid photo I.D. to play.
Also, be sure to pre-order your copy today! http://bbyurl.us/MW3

I occasionally get a random NAT type 3 message on MW3. This is what I do...
If you're sure all the correct ports are open (or have UPnP taking care of it on the router) and you have MW2 disk, put that in and go to the multiplayer game mode and check it says your NAT Type is Open.
Hold the PS button, exit the game, eject the disk and put MW3 back in... Voila!
The above might work with other COD titles but I haven't tried it.
You could also try giving the PS3 a static LAN address using the PS3's Internet Connection Settings.
(Note these settings work for me using BT Hub V2 but might be different on other routers).
On the PS3, go to:
Internet Connection Settings >> OK
Custom
Wired Connection / Wireless (chose whatever you're using)
Go through all your settings until you get to IP Address Settings and select Manual
Use the following settings...
IP Address 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Router 192.168.1.254
Primary DNS 192.168.1.254
Secondary DNS 192.168.1.254
The last octet in the 'IP Address' field needs be in the range 64 - 237 as defined by the Hub's DHCP Server and not currently in use by another device on your network. I use 100 as it's easily identifiable.
Other DNS Settings work too, for example those provided by http://www.opendns.com/
Primary DNS 208.67.222.222
Secondary DNS 208.67.220.220
Go through the rest of the settings...
MTU >> Automatic
Proxy Server >> Do Not Use
UPnP >> Enable
Test the connection and try MW3 again.
The putting-the-MW2-disk-in trick works for me all the time; the let's-give-the-PS3-a-static-IP trick might not, but it's something you can try

WRT150N Call of Duty 4 cannot access game servers

I have a wrt150n and am trying to play Call of Duty 4, but there are no servers that show up in the list when i try to join multiplayer. I have tried a few things and Linksys phone support has had me try to forward port 28960. They had me do this under port range triggering. It did not help. If I try to forwared under single or port range forwarding, I can't get my settings to save. Anyone with a suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure that you have updated Cod4 to the latest update or it wont show any
servers ... I have a N150 updated the Firmware on it to 1.50. Dont have any issue getting on Cod4 servers.

Gaming in mac book pro 7.1--Call of Duty

Hi Guys,
i'm using a mac book pro 7.1 (2.4 GHz, 4 GB of RAM).
I don't know why when i play with call of duty modern warfare 2 (MAC USE ONLY) the mac is very slowly!;
the entire visual move from left to right, up and down, continuosly: this is a very bad way to play with a MAC!.
Ehi someone, solve my problem please!.
I have not bought with many money the mac in order to play in this way!.
Bye.
M

You purchased the wrong MacBook Pro if gaming is your thing. The simple fact is that MacBook Pro's are not designed as gaming machines, per se, and your model...a 13" with integrated graphics...no dedicated GPU...is a poor choice for graphic intensive games. There is nothing you can do to change this fact, other than not running anything but the game & lowering the game's settings.

No Shadow settings on Call of Duty 4?????
