Ok, and the main thing is. . . in my second responce to this thread I said "I didn't really notice a performance drop in either windows nor linux" I said it was more stable "for me" ;-)

I understand how wine and winex emulate windows and I do understand that a native port to a specific OS is most definatly going to be faster one way or another for the simple fact that it is native and not emulated. . . I am NOT saying running call of duty in linux is FASTER and performs better, I'm sorry if that's how my first post sounded, I meant stable. . . Next time I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the show ;-) Because obvoiusly I'm a retarded dipshit.

Plus Wine has problems with it and isn't always very stable.  Some programs only work in specific versions of Wine...  I would also question you getting better performance in Linux then in Windows.  You must have screwed up your Windows install somehow...

Just because your experience in linux was worse doesn't mean everyone else's machines are going to run the game worse in linux just like yours ;-)
