My son got this one,and it will not start up on my comp..It says it needs a sound card in the specs..Is this true???I have OB sound but no SC..Is he going to need one???


 It keeps giving this ERROR at start-up :

 Error during initialization:Create2DTexture( $floatz, 800, 600, 0, 114 ) failed: 8876086c = Invalid call

I'm guessing you'd get more help on the tech support forum for that game...

Create2DTexture means it's something related to video. It appears something is missing. Try reinstalling the game and check the disk against a light (hold it up to a lamp) to see if it's been nicked on the label side.

Remember that onboard sound chips will drain a sizable amount of system resources.

Are you trying to give your son ADHD?  I played the game for a month and grew tired.  The large servers can be insane.

Hence why I only play it on the xBox. I'm definetly a greifer though. Triple nades and MP5s for me! ...cept when I'm in the back with the Barret.

I bought the game and later on saw my buddy play it on xbox and its a totally different game play.  A lot slower on Xbox.  PC is like airstike airstrike airstrike.

The key is to play only on servers with less than 20 players. Anything more than that and it's unplayable spamfest.

I usually look for the servers with around 5-15 people.

But I do get a great feeling when I join one of those billion people rooms and air strike a spawn

I'm part of a community in COD4 which has 8 COD4 servers, 12 CS:S servers, 4 COD5 servers, 2 DoD servers. http://www.noobgalore.us is the site. Personally, I like their 27/4 Creek server as creek is my favorite map and they have the settings I like.

[OOZ662]

I would spend all day shanking whoever made Creek if I had the opportunity.

Creek? You complain of Creek? What about killhouse? Or Shipment?
Creek is a cakewalk compared to those!!

Yeah I know. Kill house is the most retarded map I've seen, ever. You get more kills chucking nades across the map than using a gun.

Well... m60e4 with the 3 nade perk = pwnage.

Chuck your nades, then start wall spamming.

I play it on 29th ID server ( http://29thid.net/ )

It's a really good server with strict rule. You can't call in Air strike w/o having UAV. When you have a 29th member on your team, you gotta ask their permission to use any asset. You can't wallspam, you can't spam frag, 203, or RPG unless you see a target (unless you're room clearing, which you gotta rush in once the frag went boom) Ya can't 2nd story jump, can't bunny hopping or dolphin diving to avoid rounds.

Usually 1 or 2 admin playing so they always enforcing their server rules. It's a 32man server and usually it's full. I love it=)

I'm a member of 29th ID.  We mainly play Red Orchestra: Darkest Hour right now.
