No word yet on a release date, though we can expect it sometime later this year.

Interresting, I play COD2 alot on my PC.
COD2 needs some pretty good HW to run decently on PC.
The new breed of Intel's processor must be very good indeed :D

But the nb 1 problem with PPC gaming remains the lack of a descent control pad.
I can't imagine myself trying to compete on-line from my PPC, not a chance :cry:

you shouldn't be competing, you should have fun while gaming :wink:

but yea, this new monahan must be comparable to desktops.

oh WOW! I can't believe Call of Duty 2 is coming out for ppc! I have the demo on my PC, but the graphics are gonna be SOOO bad huh? I mean not really bad, but it'll probably be like the cell phone type right? Well, thanks for the heads up!

If the graphics are decent, and the performance is fast, this could be very cool. But to date I've been very disappointed with every single port I've seen of a desktop PC game, so I'm a bit negative on how well this will turn out...

The interesting thing about Monahans is that it incorporates some features of the 2700G successor, so it should be significantly more powerful than any XScale we've ever seen. Add a GoForce or Imageon to that and we might see some better and smoother graphics. Of course, if only OEMs would get their act together... :grumble:

[jayson]

i wonder if it's like Quake? 'cuz the controls for that game are VERY hard for me :mrgreen: And i wonder if you could use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, so it's just like the pc version! That would be kool!

So is this game only for the Dell Axim X50/1 v?

No, it's for a series of PDAs that aren't even released yet. We'll probably expect them later this year and next year.

Aspyr is going to leverage the power of the Monahans processors. Not even the Axim X50v/X51v use them.
