COD2 demo first impressions?

[TiTaN]

Looks like its going to rock. Cant wait!!

Its not too bad, but I do have my gripes.

XBOX'd controls=BAD!

Iron sights are lame. They are more concerned about showing off thier pretty bump mapping than making proper iron sights.

Direct3D? Ok so we have all of a sudden moved away from opengl. I smell xbox here too.

Left lean glitch still present.

Bunny hopping has returned.

Sigh.

Bunny hopping is back with a passion. You can sit there and jump all day time after time and never stop. You all know that I am a huge jumper in UO but its a bit different. For one you can do it once and a few more very small after that, but in the demo you can jump all over the place. I have also seen that you can bunny hop even while you have your iron sites are up, which if it is in multi-player will be the biggest gripe ever. Think about increased accuracy while jumping all over the place :(

Personally I like the iron sites. I shoot guns all the time, and agree with Wolverine, that it is not what it looks like when you are staring down the sites, but they are not harder to shoot then they were in CoD or UO and they look good doing it.

On to the hot-key nades. It is a bit different I will admit, but its nothing bad in my mind. They are much easier to access and to throw, but I would have liked seeing a cook feature with it. I actually would have liked to just have them cooking as soon as you pull the pin. With a real nade there isn't a seperate option to start cooking it, its going to blow as soon as the fuse runs out, which starts dwindling as soon as you pull the pin.

Now the animation when you throw the nades is a different story. To me and from what I've seen people saying on other forums, the nades seem to float through the air as they're thrown. I don't really know how to explain it any other way. Smoke looks good and is much better then the smoke in UO.

Overall I think that the game is very good, and will buy it right away, but I hope that these issues will be resolved before the game is released, because nobody wants to wait for a patch.

The demo was decent, but nothing extraordinary. Of course it was only 10 fu@#&kin mintues long - what a crock of shit. 620MB for 10 minutes of action?!?!?!?! After 3 or 4 run throughs I am back to COD:UO and waiting for the full version.
