COD5 Beta/Demo (PC & Console)

So who has given this a bash then (either on PC or Console). I downloaded the PC version on Thursday and gave it a good hour. This is with the caveat that I have only tried Multi Player mode. On the whole I am not really overawed by it. Graphically it looks good and gameplay wise its pretty stable. However it just didn't have a wow about it like COD4 did.

For some old school PC gamers, the best way I can describe it is feels like Battlefield Vietnam. You went the distance on 1942 and knew that BF2 was on the horizon but to fill the gap BF Vietnam was produced. Essentially nothing bad about it but nothing that you would write home about. It is a BF Vietnam or Windows ME. If it was released as an expansion or add on for COD4 for then I wouldn't mind so much but this is going to be a full retail release.

Although it's a mere 12 months since the release of COD4, COD5 was in production from Treyarch a bit longer than COD4. Out of all this years Holiday releases I really think this could be one of the potential big hitters that could bomb massively. That said if you are an achievment whore then this could just be up your street. I will give it another go tonight but I am thinking that the cancel order button is only a few clicks away
