How come when I open the video it doesnt play a video?

The news has been updated since then...

Okay, didnt get yours to work so I just went to the website and streamed it, thanks anyway

edit: I know, I downloaded after the update

the only reason i'm buying PDZ is becouse i like the Ragdoll physics... i know don't laugh, but.. if only COD2 had ragdoll physics, man that would make my day.

Cool, the soundtrack is very nice (apart from "Glitter Girl"... ugh) and the game looks as pretty as ever!

COD2 has kinda a ragdoll physics engine.

Glitter Girl is such a bad song.


Why guys? Why?!

Oh come on guys, its not like that breaking benjamin song on the halo 2 soundtrack actually appeared in the game, im sure its will just be the better parts of the intrumental.

I'm feelin it.

About Glitter Girl, could've been worse I guess. Hopefully it doesn't play a huge part in the game. Even then it could've been worse though. (Prince of Persia: Warrior Within)

The music composed for the game is as cool as ever. Well up to Rare standards.

Actually it was in the game.

Minus the vocals.

Remember when you go into a big round room and there are Brutes fighting Elites, it's close to the end of the game when you're the Master Chief running around the Covenant building.

BTW that song was also during the mission where you fly the banshee as the Arbiter but they scrap up the vocals horribly... don't beleive me? Go play the mission and find out yourself. It's early on when you are on the planet with the huge storm.

COD2 has ragdoll physics, it's just that it's not so obvious like PDZ.

The music is quite good, I agree the "Glitter Girl" track had me spooked, I don't like the singing much but the beat and music was O.K.

Thanks for the video Blim Blim.

Wow! really!? you guys just made my day! i'm bungie jumping over mexico!

but the only problem is in the old videos i've seen of the game, there weren't any ragdolls, when you throw a gernade at the enemy, he dies the same way over and over again, a new video showing ragdolls would be nice (:

Well, COD2 is supposedly realistic, and a grenade doesn't send you flying like, um, a ragdoll. It does HAVE ragdoll physics, they're just not as dramatic or over the top as PDZ.

slightly OT here, but I've read that Epic are going to implement physics on all basic animations in UT2007, such as walking/running, etc.
So, when you walk up stairs for example, you're really walking up stairs...either going up or down !! (if your on the stairs, and you take a step back, the characters leg will move down and back, to reach support from the lower step: amazing)

Thier new physics engine is allowing them to do a lot of things they couldn't do on the old Karma physics engine from UT2003/4.

uh, i'll take that as hakf-ragdolls then )":

maybe they are just using physics to give velocity to the animation?
In other words, even though the death animation is the same, impact physics could give it some direction?

I dunno. I've heard very little elaboration on the technique used in COD2.
Some say its all hand animated, some say there's a mixture of animations and physics, and here Simun is saying it's subtle ragdoll effects.
I just don't know.

I believe that was Incubus's song during the Banshee scene.

Not the appauling Breaking Benjamin song.

COD2 hasn't ragdoll .
its simple animations

Yup, there is NO ragdoll in Call of Duty 2 just a large variety of death animations.

Glitter Girl is kinda hot......soundtrack sounds decent so far. The game is gonna be crazy!

I watched some COD2 videos and you're perfectly right foreigner and Slabs, I must've confused it with something else. Those games sort of blend together for me.

True but you will have to have a $200-$300 PPU to enable it on the PC version and I am not sure if they will have a Xbox 360 version if they do its possible that one of the three cores could handle that. They probably have it on GOW though.

As for this video, it has to be the most pathetic thing I have downloaded in quite some time. Not only does the video suck but Rare released it as an interlaced video.... Give me a break. :/

The PPU will not be required for anything in UT2007; the game will just be compatible with it (maybe).
If the game sees that you have the PPU installed, it will offload much of the physics onto it, to give you a performance boost. It will do the exact same thing if you have a dual core machine.

That being said, the game will run fully feature with no PPU on a single core machine.
You'd just better hope that your CPU is fast/efficient enough to handle everything at full details.
