IIRC, from TV ads, it's an on-line game???

I was laid up all last week with a torn-up knee; finally got to the Dr on Thurs, X-rays Fri...Waiting for results but I can get around better now...I had time to play PC games, and was actually surprised that CoD was GoTY in 2003, since it was based on id's Quake 3 engine which powered Wolfenstein (and got Wolf GoTY in 2001)...I was surprised because CoD's environment seems so lifeless compared to the older Wolf...CoD actully seems kind of boring...In Wolf, you had clearly defined goals in each level; in CoD you keep running around shooting things up until you're told you've completed your objective...No run & jump obstacles; no ladder climbing (that I've found yet); no underwater labyrinths...The rooms seem bare, static; in Wolf, bridges collapse under you, floors break apart & dump you in a dungeon...It just seems so much more...immersible...

Some of the PC games I bought/played/tested back in the late 90's/early 00's won't play under Win2000/WinXP {Mortyr, Serious Sam, PowerSlave]...I'll have to boot up a Win98 HDD and try them again...
