To head two problems off at the pass:

If you get a directx error (d3dx9_37.dll not found), go here:

If you get an Unhandled Exception Caught error, it should be related to your sound in Windows Vista:

1- Go to Control Panel
2- The click on "Hardware and Sound"
3- Click on "Sound"
4- Doble click on "speakers"
5- go to the Advanced tab
6- Set the default format to "24 Bit, 48000 Hz (Studio Quality)"

If you are running Windows XP, update your sound drivers if possible.

Yep, pretty bad, runs terribly on a 8600M GT with 512MB of dedicated video memory. =/ Poorly optimized for PC's it seems- is it the engine or Treyarch?

 

[KnightMare]

its the same engine as cod4, so why would it be engine.

I didn't get a chance to try COD4 for PC- but the graphics don't warrant the hell that is WAW beta right now. Anything over 800x600 is horribly slow, with all settings way down.

8800GT512mb, 100 FPS constantly. drops to 50 in smoke, tanks, and explosions.

COD4 ran 'well' on my 6600GT, so it must be a bug. Otherwise the game is complete shit.

I haven't tried WAW btw
