Call of Duty 2

I just loaded Call of Duty 2 (downloaded version) on to my PC
PC specs.:
• Intel P4 630 3.0GHz (HT technology 800 FSB 2MB L2 cache)
• 1GB DDR2 RAM (dual Channel DDR2 at 533MHZ)
• 256MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI Radeon™ X600 SE
• Dell Ultrasharp 2005FPW 20.1” LCD Wide Aspect screen
• 160GB Hard Drive (dual HD: 80G+80G; Serial ATA(SATA), 7200RPM)

The game says it can run up to 1680x1050 but I can’t run much more then 800x600 without the game getting choppy.
Is there anything I can do to achieve the goal of playing the game in 1680x1050
Because that would awesome!

Only if your screen resolution goes that high.

I'm not sure why it's choppy for you either. It plays smooth like butta on my PC at 1280x1024 and your PC is faster. :) Try looking at what's running in the background. Perhaps use a program such as EndItAll.

It ran choppy as hell for me too (2500+, 9800 Pro, 1GB) on any resolution.

Change the game to run in DirectX 7 mode instead of 9 and it will run super-smooth - doesn't make a lot of difference to the looks either.

Re: Call of Duty 2

I tried running it in 1680x1050 and it looked awsome, just choppy
I will try the DrectX 7 thing and see what happens

Re: Call of Duty 2

Yep!!!
changing to DirectX 7 did it, I can now play in 1680 x 1050 and it is just as cool as I had hoped

Thanks! Skillian
