CoD2 (at the very bottom) is now in alpha stage, with a estimated release date of, still, november '06. just thought everyone would like to know this.
Check periodically (maybe once a week or so) and there might be an update.

EDIT

found this too.

"Alpha
At this stage, the game is still buggy but solid. There may be a few features that still need to be implemented, but programmers can usually pinpoint the major areas to fix."

It looks like Aspyr isn't doing the only one, although I couldnt' find any mention of the game on their website. Either way, the software version requirements for TH2 are pretty steep, from what I recall - I think it was mentioned you really needed a 600MHz machine to run it decently, although the requirements said 512MHz, IIRC. The RAM issue was the big one, however - something like 30MB of RAM free, which most Axims don't see after startup, and I think only the iPaq hx2400 and hx2700 series (along with the hx4700s, of course) really see this much RAM available on a semi-regular basis. It'll be interesting to see how this does, but I fear that not many machine will be able to run the game - either an x50v/51v, or else one of the machines I mentioned above for the software version.

Dude, I have a stinking Toshiba e740 w/WM2002 and it has up to 42.1 MB RAM (amount currently on mine right now) on a regular basis.

narval: WM5 changed the way RAM is allocated - so you no longer could get like 40+ MB of Program RAM available after startup, unless the device itself had 128MB of actual RAM in it - and even in WM2003SE it could be a challenge to get that much space, IIRC. You can get up to 38MB of RAM in WM5 and an HP hx2000-series PDA however, if you don't have any Today Panel applications running, or any other things in RAM. After a hard reset, that's more than easily achievable. With the x51v, after a hard reset, I could get maybe 31MB, 32MB.

Still, as I said, Tony Hawk 2's RAM requirements for the non-accelerated version are pretty heavy. I wonder what CoD2 would look like.

I know that, although I'm TO-ed that Toshiba doesn't have the WM5 update. >:(
