Below is a list of fixes for COD5, atleast the widespread problems. If your problem isn’t on the list below I suggjest going to CallofDuty and signing up at their forums and see if you can’t get some help there. The biggest error seems to be with d3dx9_37.dll. So follow the directions and you should be good to go.

Please note that these fixes MAY or MAY NOT work for you. But this is the common way to fix your problem. I’m sorry if it doesn’t help you.

—————————

These are All/Most of the possible Fixes so far. Please note there is no guarantee any of these will work. “please note these can change at any time”
Unfortunately for me NONE of these work for me at all, but are said to work for others.

I took some video of the BETA and chopped it up for you to watch. I didn’t really have much footage because I didn’t play for very long, I’m crazy tierd. I’ll play longer tomorrow and get some better video. But for now this will have to do.

Or watch it on youtube: COD 5 Sniping

Apparantly Call of Duty 5 is running on the same engine as Call of Duty 4, so it should be relitivly quick and easy to get COD5 hacks out, correct? I’m hoping we see the first generation of World at War hacks within the first week the PC BETA is released.

Has anyone seen any news about this from the hacking sites?

Here’s a list of the most probable hack features we will probably see in the COD5 hacks:

• Aimbot
• Chams
• Custom Crosshair
• Full 3D Map
  
• Nametags
  
• Player Distance
• Tags Distance
• No Flash
• Increased Viewdistance
• No Fog, No sky, No water
  
• Teamswitch
• Full ESP
  
• Health ESP
  
• Autoshoot
• Autoaim
• No Recoil
• Classic Cheats
• Media Controller
• Stat Display
• Trigger Bot
  

The Call of Duty 5 PC BETA is almost here. Nobody knows for sure when the BETA will start, but considering the full game is getting released on November 11th, the BETA can’t be far off. Xbox360 has already started their BETA, in fact they have been in BETA for almost two weeks now.

There are two ways to get your BETA key. The first and cheapest way to get it is by going to CallofDuty.com and signing up for a free account. Then just wait until the BETA goes live and Activision will email you a key. The other way of getting a key is by going to GameStop.com and pre-ordering a copy of COD5. If you want to be super sure you get in the BETA, do both like I did. Just be sure if you pre-order from gamestop that you go back and enter your order # on the homepage, otherwise you’re not actually in the BETA.
