Call of Duty 4

zimmerframe · Nov 09, 2007, 12:21:27

Well..?

Who'se got this/playing it? I have'nt tried the demo but have the game on order. I've read very favourable revues of the demo and the trailers lokk fantastic.

A German friend has it already and is raving about it. How juiced up should I be 'til my copy arrives ?

Kheldar · Nov 09, 2007, 17:31:59

guy i know is raving about it on the pc.

another is expecting to be getting home about now and seeing the xbox version on the doormat !

mrapoc · Nov 10, 2007, 19:06:03

I got it wednesday -

GO

GET

IT

NOW

I cant stop playing it and the play style varies - from awesome SAS stealthy team missions - to bombing from a plane, to US crazy style invade a county to joint missions. Its awesome (SAS > USMC). There was also a cool mission where you get "ghilly" suits and on an assassination mission. Really tense part where u have to crawl through a field with a whole army walking in a line past around you. Really film like!!! A Halo beater...period.

I have this on the 360 and it's stunning, my other half is constantly complaining when she's in bed and i put it on "it sounds like bloody world war 3 down there!!!"

If only she knew.............

stevie0573 · Nov 14, 2007, 09:45:33

Ordered today and really looking forward to it (to many good games this month)

stevie0573 · Nov 15, 2007, 15:22:13

Got it today and OMG better than the demo and worth every penny, I love the ww2 theme but damn this thing is amazing and plays really well

Endgame · Nov 15, 2007, 21:05:58

What have you got it on PC or 360?

Either way it is ~~probably~~ the best game i have ever played and i don't say that lightly as there has been some crackers. The single player, although short, is still excellent but where the game really comes into its own is online...............it is sooooooooooooo damn addictive, i went to bed at 2.30am last night

i kept saying "one last game then off to bed" from about midnight onwards

I hope you were using headphones by then!!

Otherwise you will find (like me

) that World War 4 has broken out, let alone WW 3!!!

I'm not actually, i'm listening to bullets whizzing past my ear left right and centre in fabulous surround sound..................as are my neighbours

No i have it on as quiet as possible, that is until the subwoofer kicks in with grenades and gunships!

stevie0573 · Nov 16, 2007, 09:19:03

Tend to play most games with headphones as i cant always have the volume up.

I have the pc version and loving it (got to the sniper part yesterday) damn u really have to slow down on games these days as they dont last long

zimmerframe · Nov 17, 2007, 19:12:21

Two words;

Bl**dy & Marvellous

Absolutely cracking gameplay and graphics. This has really been thought through well and what faults there are are very minor. Oh, and the on-line play is fantastic too

MoHux · Nov 18, 2007, 18:20:04

I hope Father Xmas reads this thread!!

Scottyboy · Nov 29, 2007, 13:48:50

have to agree with all. Superb game.

Single player is just amazing. Its the truly cinematic experience you expect from the COD series.

Multiplayer they have got it spot on with playability and fun factor. This takes me back to the fun had in my first venture to online gaming when Medal of Honour was great. In terms of fun.

Ok so whos playing hardcore mode on Multiplayer or are you all wooses on normal arcade?

mrapoc · Nov 29, 2007, 21:15:29

Urgh @ MOH compared to this bad boy tbh..

Endgame · Nov 29, 2007, 21:32:38

This game brings back great memories of playing RTCW online, fantastic all action game

Since i got it no other game has had a look in!

I'm still a woose

I havent tried hardcore yet, how does it differ? I imagine that all the little indicators are off? If so, I would probably like it. I am a fan of some of the realism mods that the modders had produced for CoD2

I really like the change they have made to S&D gametype. Now you have to pick up the bomb and transport it to the bombsite, rather than just turning up at the bombsite where anyone can plant. This means that with proper team play, you not only have to plant, but also have to protect the bomb carrier and if he is taken down, someone else has to pick up the bomb and plant.

My son tells me to try the Domination gametype too.

Scottyboy · Dec 07, 2007, 13:03:33

Hey Zimmer.

Hardcore mode basically removes everything. Your Hud, Crosshair, ammo count Map in the corner.

Bullets kill you quick. So you have to be on the ball. It takes a little to get used to but we have all been playing it at ZiiP and theres no turning back now.

I like all the gametypes. Historically Ive always been an objective/s&D fan. But Domination is good fan and I partiularly like sabotage as you can get some right intense battles going over the bomb.

We are playing a 32 map mixed mode server. 6 s&d, 6 dom, 6 hq, 6 sab, 5 tdm and 3 Free for all. Variety the spice of life and all that.

You should pop by and try out the hardcore mod. And say hello too. 193.93.46.127:28960

Now I know that most poeple probably use X-Fire or some other such server/buddy tracker. This is a useful website though for tracking players or servers. It works for all Call of Duty servers, (CoD2 & 4).

To find who is playing and where, type a few search letters in the player name box, (can be your clan tag, [C-Ops] for instance

) and hit search.

Unfortunately, you cant join a server through this utility but its a useful tracker never the less

I played this game, and it is by far the best FPS I've played in years. It was such a refreshing change from your generic first person shooter.

I'm seriously thinking about getting it for the Xbox 360, but I'm not sure if I want to learn to play FPS games on a console. I've barely touched Lost planet, and couldn't stand the chaotic control method in Gears of war.

zimmerframe · Jan 23, 2008, 12:15:54

You just have to play it on-line Niall

Why get it on the X-Box? Sure, the PC version needs a bit of hardware to fully do it justice but the experience is well worth the expense...

RA-1972 · Jan 23, 2008, 13:54:10

I have it great game pc version... If u use xfire my tag is RA-1972.

jockwav · Jan 23, 2008, 16:48:46

It is an absolutely brilliant game,been through the single player missions and loved it,it is a lot of fun in multiplayer,i have it on pc,i have a nvidia 8600gt card,this game rocks.
But what concerns me is will it go the same way as mohaa with all the cheats and spoil another great game?.

zimmerframe · Jan 24, 2008, 12:30:39

CoD4 uses Punkbuster as its built in anti-cheat program. This can be defeated by low life scum but it is regularly updated and a Global ban means just that. The Original MoHAA didnt have built in anticheat and suffered greatly for that. We used to use a 3rd party A-C call Missionary, ( I think that what it was called, it was a long while ago). It worked OK and you had to have "pure", ie no mods server.

Its very obviuos when a player is skillful and has practiced their play and knows well all map locations. Similarly, its usually obvious when a player is cheating too. I really detest cheaters. They spoil the game for everyone. I just cant understand the need to win at all costs. A good score, well earned is very satisfying. Similarly, playing against good, well practiced opposition is good too, win or lose.

Avoid servers with Punkbuster off.

Good teams/clans run good cheat free servers so hunt them out and stick with them

I'm using an 8800GTS card that I bought a few months ago. This is the 640Mb version that has now been supersceded by the 512MB 8800GT I think. At the resolution I play, 1280 X 1024, the native rs of my TFT, it copes easily with all the graphical bells and whistles turned on and looks fantastic.

I've had it and completed it on the PC. I ran it at almost maximum settings with only a slight slowdown in one or two areas. I was really impressed.

Basically I've got a sub for Xbox Live gold, and I have only about 4 months left on it, but I've never played any of my mates online. Mainly because we all play different games. 8 people I know have the Xbox360 and not one of us play the same games together online!

mrapoc · Jan 28, 2008, 09:37:02

my 8800gt can run it all full too 8)

Come play on the oc3d server sometime

Im admin so i get to ban all the hackers

Ill post the ip sometime
