Call Of Duty 4 on MBP?

[jamesi]

im pretty sure that with 4 gigs of ram, you would need to have windows vista to properly utilize all of it. but vista does also yield DX 10 support. tho i suppose with a X1600 this wouldnt really matter.

Is it possible to play COD4 on a new Macbook 2.2?

no, would not work

I'm so glad I found this thread. Has anyone tried Cod4 with the old video card? I have the 1600xt. Would love to know if its playable before I go and install windows etc.

would be playable, but expect to see low or middle settings. depending on whether or not you have a dual core etc

COD4 is playable at 800*600 with medium setting on a mbpSR but the quality at those settings is crappy. It seems a waste of money to purchase a game like this and enjoy less than half its potential. If only it could play like HL2, it would be a different story!

I play COD4 on 1680x1050 with 2xAA medium settings flawlessly on a MBP 2.2. I clocked the GPU to 475/700 (previously clocked to 350/600 which didn't work at all!!) via. AtiTOOL.

It's bliss. However I do get a weird problem in both COD2 and COD4. Whenever I turn horizontally the movements stutter (not lag). I use an MX1000 mouse and it's ONLY in COD this happens. It also stutters when using the trackpad to move.
Bioshock is no problem though. It's mostly noticeable when moving forward, strafing and turning at the same time. I don't really know what's wrong since it's less of a problem on lower resolutions.


And 800x600? Ew... It looks horrible when scaled on an LCD.

Very interesting indeed!

Vista blows. I run games on XP fine, its more stable, takes up less HD space on my partitioned drive than Vista.
All the games so far that I run on XP are small though I am getting COD4 and NFS Carbon, and C&C3 for windows shortly. Possibly Civilization 4 for Windows too. Oh and Ill be runnign Battlefield 2142 and Assassins Creed and the new Unreal Tournament on XP.

my EA sports games are very choppy in XP but play fine in vista when using the same boot camp 2.0 drivers. why is this? my specs are in my sig if this info is needed.

Can anyone comment on how it runs with the new 8600m GT 256mb?

When I run this on my MBP 2.2, it looks great but sometimes it looks like "garbage" is flying through the air when running (say within Baghdad or a city scene). Is this because of my settings?

Also, what settings does everyone run on their 2.2?

How do I make AtiTool work? I installed it on Vista and everytime I run the program, I get a driver type error and cannot overclock the GPU. Is this a XP-specific program?

I installed COD 4 on my MBP today and it could not start. The splash screen just pop up and dissapeared right away. I double click on the icon again and it said "cod did not quit properly last time" and asked me if I want to reset the settings and enter safemod. I clicked yes, and the same thing happened. What might be wrong here?

I'm on MBP 2.4 - 2GB RAM - 256MB Geforce 8600 GT, there are still 10GB free on the HD and I'm running XP.

I can't say much about the settings, but the garbage in the air is normal I believe because I see it on my pc as well. Its probably there to accentuate the warzone/deserted feeling of the city.

Lol, no I've been doing some reading and it sounds like the "garbage" is actually artifacts which is caused by a graphics card that's not quite up to par with the game. I actually wish it was shrapnel flying in the air and was purposely supposed to be flying around.
