EBGames has the Directors Edition in stores today, good stuff. I'll let you all know if the MP is better than the demo in a few minutes

Sorry, was at work all day after that

The MP seems fine to me. It still has a MoH feel to it, much better than the Demo however. The SP is awesome. If you have an Audigy2ZS and some THX speakers, you'll jawdrop at the sound and music.

I'd reccomend it to anyone who loves MoH games.

was the mouse lag problem fixed?
Mostly, not completely. I believe that alot of the problem right now is that there isnt a good dedicated server out for PA, and the servers that are out arent running the game like it should.

I would say mouse lag in retail is about on par with FarCry just a tad worse but tons better then the demo. I dont understand why they released the demo in its current state as retail is much better, dont get me wrong though it still needs tweaking. Also the SP is awesome, you can tell they took some cues from the CoD team which is a good thing...

As soon as I get the game I will have 2 server's running. Get with me on IRC or xfire so we can talk some stuff.
The lag is not because of net code but the server code.
MOHPA MP demo server's are running at 61% load with intel CPUs and 100% load with AMD CPU's, when empty.
They are looking into the problem and a hopefully a patch will follow soon.

Ea said this was a problem with the full version as well. They are working on a patch to fix the cpu usage to stop the lag on the servers.
I find that hard to believe.... as tests have proven time and again that the Athlon MP and Opterons are much better server processors in every way then the Xeons..... I'd like to see your source.
Mine are Anandtech, Tomshardware, and 2cpu
You'll notice that the game boots up and has a "plays great on Intel Pentium 4" Ima guess that they game is optimized for hyper-threading, and all that f00.

I read they are releasing the dedicated server files when the regular game is in stores. Also that version isn't shipping til the 11th now. Guess they are gonna do some new tweaking so that version won't need the client auto-upadate that the directors cut will need?

Has nothing to do with which processer is better. It says there is a problem with the server code which is making the high cpu usage. For either processer to be running anywhere near that and the server is empty i would say that is a problem. Those numbers came from server admins that posted these numbers on mohadmin.com if you would like to go read the forum for yourself.

also i got this from your website 2cpu.

http://www.2cpu.com/articles/99_1.html

pretty much shows xeon beating out amd server in most of the benchmarks. but again this has nothing to do with that it has to do with the code.

Im guessing Intel paid a lot of money


New intel chips are beating out amd chips for games.
Heh... pulled these from anandtech... tomshardware will show you similar results. ANY legitimate site will.












Intel beat AMD one out of 10 on the anadtech tests for games. As for the server processors which article on 2cpu are you referring to? (I failed to find it) Check out and actually READ the all these different reviews from Anandtech:

http://www.anandtech.com/IT/showdoc.aspx?i=2205&p=1
http://www.anandtech.com/IT/showdoc.aspx?i=2247&p=1
http://www.anandtech.com/IT/showdoc.aspx?i=1982&p=1
http://www.anandtech.com/IT/showdoc.aspx?i=1935&p=1

Oh, nypd... that is NOT from a review. Somehow that image is in an upload folder on a MOBO makers website.... smells fishy to me.... for more info that you cannot link to, go to http://www.tomshardware.com They will give you similar results to what I posted. Also, with all the new processors and vid cards out there, the only benchmarks I hold in regard are the ones at 1024x768 and higher (preferably 1280x1024) and not some hashed down version @ 640x480 as that does not reflect proper usage.

I dont want to come off on the wrong foot here, I just dont like bad information being told to people who'll believe it.

Ok this started with me posting info about pa having a conflict with server code. Above numbers the 65% and 100% cpu usage was posted by server admins on mohadmin.com. They also said ea is working on a fix for the problem. This was not to bash amd or intel. This was to show why there is lag on the pa servers. If you want to continue on the amd/intel debate my tech forums is at http://www.tntblowout.com/forum/. I have np showing you more benchmarks there.
This was info posted in reguards to pa and the lag.
This episode of NERD'S GONE WILD will have to continue in your forums. There has been enough here.
