Call of Duty 4

[Bond]

Anyone getting it?

[BreakABone]

I may or may not get.

Well, i do want to get it eventually just not right now.

The Circuit City deal is a steal though.
Buy this and receive Call of Duty 3 for free.

[thatmariolover]

I'm considering it. I've been spending a lot of money lately, though. I may just decide to save up and keep buying Christmas gifts.

[Dyne]

I hear it's a lot more polished than Halo 3. I might check it out.

[Perfect Stu]

Yeah, I think I'm gonna pick it up sometime soon.

[Jason1]

I'll probably ask for the PC version for Christmas. Although I heard the single player campaign is painfully short...

I did enjoy the demo.

[gekko]

The game is surprisingly amazing. I'll rent it... for a while.

So I got this game, and it's quite possibly the best FPS on the generation. In fact, it is. It's simply amazing.

It's generally an all-out frag fest, but they got plenty of modes to make people like me happy. Hardcore mode turns off the HUD completely. No more radar, no grenade indicators, friendly fire is turned on, bullets do more damage, and you don't even have a crosshair. It's lovely, feels like Ghost Recon before that series tried to predict the future.

I played from Friday morning to Saturday night, only breaking to sleep. It's simply that good. Other great things:

All achievements are single player. No more joining a ranked Lone Wolves game in Halo and hearing "Do you guys want to do achievements?" Sure, BAM! ROCKETS BITCH! I love spoiling their fun :D In COD4, they need to do it all by themselves offline. It's amazingly peaceful online :)

They also have a TON of perks to unlock, and weapon upgrades. Some of them you unlock late, like get a knife kill an you likely have 15 under your belt by that point, but since completing the challenges give you a huge boost in experience, it's necessary. It gives you something to do, and sometimes gives you ideas you've never thought of. I love doing them, it's like having another 150 achievements.

The weapon upgrades are also different per weapon, so unless you want iron sights, you will be getting at least 25 kills with every weapon in the game to make them all usable. Getting 150 kills with it unlocks the ACOG, which has its uses. There's a ton of weapons for many different scenarios, and you can adjust the perks to fit your style of play.

Overall, it's easily the most balanced FPS I've ever encountered. Despite someone having extra health, being harder to kill, and dropping to the ground with a pistol when he dies, you ignore it. Why? Because you're carrying twice the frag grenades, have bullets that do extra damage and penetrate walls with more speed, allowing you to kill that guy who just ran behind the wall to hide.

11/10. Best FPS since Ghost Recon, the original.

Anyone getting it?

Yes.

I'm still hesitant to get this game. I briefly played the multiplayer beta a month ago and didn't really like it, but I think it may have been because I was playing against very highly ranked players and I had no idea what I was doing.

It's very tempting though - everyone seems to have only praise for this game.

I played it with 3 of my friends last night, knifes and pistols baby :) It doesnt feel like the other call of duty games, but none the less its still uber fun.

Just because you suck doesn't mean you shouldn't play. I've never played a CoD game on a console before, yet I pull top 2 on every map. Usually first, sometimes with 20 kills above the 2nd place guy. I'm sure I piss guys like you off :p

CoD4 is all about reaction speed. Weapons help, sure, but the faster you can acquire a target, aim, and shoot, the better off you'll be. With the right weapon and accuracy, you should be able to win almost every head-to-head battle you go up against. Also, in many of the levels you will die after nearly every kill. Take down as many as possible, because little did you know you have 3 converging on your spot at any given second. In other words, kill the 2-3 with your primary weapon, when you run out of ammo, chase down the next guy, knife him, and shoot his buddy with a pistol. After that, you'll likely get smoked, but a 5:1 ratio is not bad.

105 mm cannon mounted on gunship + ground targets = "holy shit..... this is awesome!"

[Perfect Stu]

got this game a week ago...absolutely incredible. the 105mm cannon level wowed me, and I just finished War Pig which was intense. I just started playing online and I suck, but I'm really enjoying it. like a 1st person SOCOM...

[Fox 6]

I find that team hardcore is the only mode i play, everything else is no fun.

[Fox 6]

Just beat it tonight for the first time. I played it through on hard. All i have to say is wow, crazy good ending. the only thing that made me mad




*spolier*


Cpt. price dies.

"Get up soldier! We are leaving!"

This game is amazing.
Simply amazing.

By far possibly the best modern fps I've ever played.

Well the maps did indeed come out yesterday, and they are all youd expect form the game. However, at the time when they came out the did not offer any Hardcore games on the maps making me a bit peeved. I did try to play them on regular but shooting a guy in the face 6 times with an AK-47 and him not being killed made me stop. As of last ngiht though they hardcore was added, rejoice! this will help keep me glued to CoD4 for awhile.

[Fox 6]

Oh man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I just beat the whole game on Veteran difficulty. Seriously............ HARDEST GAME IVE EVER PLAYED!!!!!!!!! god that was an ordeal. "The Mile High Club" took forever to do.

Heres what i had to go through....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyugWLqZ41E&feature=related


And for an extra kick in the pants you have to shoot the last guy in the head. It restarts if you dont!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God. Well now i have all the CoD4 achievements!!!

[Aladuf]

I love COD4 to death but it kills me that Infinity Ward won't put out a patch to add rumble to the PS3 version. It's like the biggest game on the PS3 but it's the only game without rumble! wtf?!

[Fox 6]

The more I think about it..... CoD4 is probably my favorite game of all time. For now :p


Captain Price is such a badass.

[Angrist]

HARDEST GAME IVE EVER PLAYED!!!!!!!!!
Did you get all the cheats in Golden Eye and Perfect Dark? I haven't played CoD4, but I know those were incredibly hard. :D I have all the GE ones though.

But I still think I remember some harder games. :)
