Prepare to be amazed, if and when someone actually deems this game worthy of screenshotting. LOL

With it's tiny maps, low player count, and ugly ass graphics circa 2005; this piece of shit should be able to run on a smart phone @ 120fps.

Its system requirements exceed that of BF4,does it at least look as good in all honesty?These games seem to become more and more bloated all while looking nearly the same.

As to Futurefields response,yeah its a 9500gt but my main issue is the DX11 lock in when decent DX10 cards like the gtx280/295 could easily play BO2.My other rig with a gtx650 would play BO2 with most settings maxed at 1080p with 80+fps and its performance falls about gtx280 performance on a good day with the right game.

Apparently mouse sensitivity is still directly impacted with the FPS. So if your FPS fluctuates your sensitivity will also change.

This happened for the last COD and screams lazy port.
Lazy is the word for COD all around, it's past time for them to reboot and build something from the ground up. Enough copying the yearly Madden NFL cash cow strategy. How much longer are people going to keep buying this crap?!?!?

OMG, NO!!!! If you've seen BO, BO2, Ghosts, etc.... then you've seen this one too. This washed out cartoony looking crap cant hold a candle to BF3 or 4.

Nope. I think it looks worse. Textures have this weird blur.

I just wonder what is calling for the gtx470 minimum requirements and DX11 if it just looks the same lol.

This is a good video on what issues there are with the Beta at the moment.

Yes, he explains it much better than I ever could. LOL

The frame rate/mouse sensitivity mess explains I was all over the place with my aim, killing everything in sight one minute and then not being able to hit the broadside of a barn the next.

I have to disagree with him on how the game looks though, I think it looks like it plays.....garbage.

Game crashes every time, even on lowest settings.. whilst graphically it looks like Far Cry 1 on OG XBOX... and gives me 12FPS and an entire locked up PC.

Load of shit.

1080 with 0.67 scale resolution so really it's like 720p.

Damn insane,i had another rig i recently sold with a i3 2100 and a gtx650 and it played BO2 at 1080p with everything enabled but shadows,ao and dof and it was holding well over 80+.

7770 should be a decent bit faster then a gtx650 right?Just funny how bad this port is even for beta really.

Locked in to that resolution and those settings simply due to only having 1gb of ram?

This game runs worse than the last. Crossfire doesn't even work and the FPS are all wonky. Can't play in 4k at more than 25 FPS no matter the settings. Oddly enough turning AA on makes it smoother....The last COD on 1 card ran better at 4k.

Not locked in no, but the game is unplayable at these settings anyway.

I have made the game use more cores of the CPU in the .ini but that does nothing, it also uses 11GB of my 24GB pagefile and 3GB of system ram out of 4.

I'm on Windows 10 x64 Pro.


I have uninstalled it, it's beyond me that a game with terrible graphics can eat so much resources...
