Similar to previous installments within the Call of Duty series, In Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 the player assumes the role of various characters during the single-player campaign, changing perspectives throughout the progression of the story, playing as “Soap”, Roach, etc.
Each mission features a series or objectives that are displayed on the HUD, which marks the direction and distance towards and from such objectives. Damage to the player is shown by blood shown on the screen. the player's health eventually regenerates after time passes. Tasks vary in their requirements, having the player arrive at a particular checkpoint, eliminate enemies in a specified location, stand his/her ground to defend an objective, or plant explosive charges on an enemy installation. The player is accompanied by friendly troops who cannot be issued orders or harm you but you can have friendly fire and restart the mission. Laptop computers that contain enemy intelligence appear throughout the campaign and may be collected.
The game utilizes the in-house IW 4.0 game engine.
The 5670 powers through the title at our chosen settings whereas the last generation struggles to maintain playable framerates. We will analyse the min FPS next.
Throughout all our level testing the engine maintained a steady 40+fps throughout with only one heavy action scene dropping below.
these really are great cards, especially when considering the modest asking price.
The temperatures are much lower than what I had expected, but then again its arctic cooling who always make good coolers.
I have one of these in a system and I wanted to know is it worth buying another for crossfire. anyone know if its worth the hassle?
Nice review – seems a good price. I think they dropped recently by £10 too.
The overclocking is insane, they should have overclocked the card, even 10% with that headroom it would have been safe.
I shopped around and found one for £85 on OCUK, which is brill. Just bought it. thanks KG for thorough review testing. They seem low power which is nice as I dont always game and like to know they idle without taking a lot of power.
HD5670 is great series but I think the 5770 is better value as its much more powerful.
I ordered one of these a few days ago for my media center as I might like to play the odd game on the tv rather than in my bedroom on a monitor. Glad to know I didn’t buy a turkey !
Great review thnks, k, bye
Like the review style, leep up the goodwork
How much is this card in Australia? cant find it anywhere
For once a review not trying its absolute best to downplay this great card… this great lil thing suits anyone with a not so large screen and does some gaming every now and then. This maxes out most, if not all (as seen from the review), games of the present and possibly will do so next year or maybe the year after that at modest resolutions. And is just so quiet and efficient!
Great product and an excellent review!!!
Just bought one of these to run AVP (I know, not the best game) with Directx 11. It will run the game at full tilt with settings maxed out. Highly recommend the card if your looking for a cheapish one to last a couple of years. Well done ATI.
Oh this replaced my old nvidia 8400 gs lol.
