I download CoD last night. Took 3hrs, so I just left it and this morning was ready to play. Installed this morning no issue. Started playing multiplay a little, not used to playing on the computer. Seemed to run good. Don't know what is good vs. bad. I have everything turned on, but I don't think I am playing on the highest video setting. Need to play with it some more.

What are your system specs?

To get an FPS indicator, type ~ to get the console and
/cg_drawfps 1
 
Imac 3.06 8800 4gb ram

COD4 in Windows - 35-60 fps (depending on the level, grass hurts the fps)
COD4 OS X - 30-60 fps

Settings for both operating systems:

Full resolution
AA-off
V sync-yes
shadows-no
spec map-yes
DOF-no
Glow-no
Dyn lights-low
Smoke edges-yes
Ragdoll-no
Bullet-yes
Model-normal
Water normal

Not bad results, would be interested to see how the ATI 2600HD perfroms, my guess is that it may best the 8800 in OS X. Anyone?

Edited the results after playing a number of levels in each OS, i'd still say that OS X is a 5 fps shy of windows, but pretty impressive considering...... now for some low ping servers (-200) in Australia please.

I would looooove to test it (ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro, 2.66 imac), but unfortunately +3wks delivery time (Europe)...:(

I have a rev A macbook pro that uses a core du processor, but it runs at 2ghz so does ths still mean its incompatible.. i find that really strange if it is as its essentially the same. Surely saying its only compatible with core 2 duo is just a generalisation seen as most intel macs are core 2 duo now.
Has anyone run this on core duo?
 
And this is a digital download.

Either or, I am still going to be picking up this game as soon as I have time to play games (aka next week)
 
Then it said it downloaded, but actually wasn't complete (only was a file size of 2.81 GB when it should have been 6.81 GB)


Im having the same problem. I downloaded it twice, both times it got to 2.81 then stopped and 'failed to mount'. Just shot off an email to support, hopefully they'll get back to me soon. Has your issue been resolved yet?

Has anyone successfully downloaded it off Aspyr's Game Agent?

Yes, though it took 16 hours to download......
 
Download

Currently on my third download attempt from Aspyr/Digital River.

For some reason in one spot I was getting over 100kb/s and now I am getting about 30-45 kb/s I just hope this speeds up as I would actually like to use my computer for more than just one thing over the next TWO days I am estimated to wait.
 
Just a follow up

I ordered it from the Apple Store yesterday, free shipping, already got the tracking number, going ground(fee) will be here on Tuesday. It says ships 1-5 days on the apple site, but mine shipped same day. :D

Can you please tell us once you get it if it requires you to have the DVD/CD in to start/play the game. That would be the most helpful info ever. Thanks!

I already confirmed that with Aspyr. The only way you can play the game on multiple machines is with the actual DVD from retail(You do need the game in the drive to play it). Direct download is 1 machine only. This way, I can play on my imac and macbook pro. :cool:

So if I only have one machine and dont want to have the disc in then I should do the digital download?
