CoD5 on PC atm sucks due to the developers being idiots and not generally giving a **** about PC version

Error: Could not load material "water_droplet".
Error: Could not load material "water_dynamic_spray".

Update your sound drivers.

Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Speakers > Advanced tab > set the default format to 24 Bit, 48000 Hz (Studio Quality)
