does online let you play against people with the same skills? I want to get it, but it would be my first one, and I probably wouldn't enjoy it I kept getting killed every 5 seconds.

Play the single player on veteran difficulty. You'll get pretty good at using cover and moving fast. Worked out ok for me with COD2. Then it just becomes a matter of figuring out the maps.

I can't wait to get home this weekend so I can buy this. The beta multiplayer videos on youtube are driving me crazy!

Re: call of duty 4
 

Uh okay, just played this online for a while instead of doing homework. (Standard)

CoD 4 >>>>>>>>> Halo 3 + TF2 combined.

Holy christ this game is fun. Knife kills give me wood.

Re: call of duty 4
 

God damnit. How the heck am i supposed to choose between assains and COD4.

Its weird in poker/sports betting I show no regard for money at all, but whenever I make a real life purchase I am so cheap.

Please post screenshots to motivate me just to buy cod4.


Here is the one reason I am hesistant. I loved ww2 and play all the games for that era starting with medal of honor. However, i always played for the pc. I feel you got much better control with the mouse. However, when I tried to play medal of honor on a console, I found the controls cumbersome and unwieldy.

I accept the fact that COD4 probably has awesome graphics and gameplay, but I am concerned I wont enjoy it because of the controls. Can someone tell me if they are similar to halo3 movements?
thanks

Re: call of duty 4
 

It's out for PC as well.

Call of Duty 4 is on the PC too.

And if you can afford to sports bet you can afford to buy 2 games.

Re: call of duty 4
 

Oh man picking this up would really cut into my TF2 time

Re: call of duty 4
 

Game of the Last 5 years IMO. I wish i didnt have to work for the next year.

Re: call of duty 4
 

I guess the better question what version do you get: PC or console?

I'd say PC for the tighter controls. Console does have matchmaking though.

Halo style matchmaking or just a quick search of open games?

Re: call of duty 4
 

I'm playing it for PC. Haven't played online yet. Got to work at 715 today so I can go home early and play. Ohhhhh the single life [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

HAHA word. I am not single, but the girl works nights. I was so happy to learn that she has to work 4 days in a row, just so I could get back and play this.

3 of us have 9th row tickets to the Bulls/Pistons game tonight (beat: not first row), and I honestly thought about skipping it.

Goodbye Halo3 and TF2, this is way, WAY more fun.

Re: call of duty 4
 

Thought this was an interesting article. Maybe EA should learn from these guys (and everyone else who ports games instead of optimizing to each system)

X Development Was Easy

Re: call of duty 4
 

I got this last night. It's the first game like this I've played, so I suck really bad. But I'm having loads of fun playing multiplayer.

Re: call of duty 4
 

Been loving this for 24 hours non stop no sleep. Still suck at it, but it is awesome!

Re: call of duty 4
 

How many players can play in the multiplayer on the 360?

Re: call of duty 4
 

Everyone add me to your buddy list: dwn2f

I think I'm already like level 8 but damn this game is so much fun.

Re: call of duty 4
 

this has been getting rave reviews on Amazon.com which isn't an easy thing to do, they can be a tough crowd..

Re: call of duty 4
 

I played through the campaign for about an hour just now and I'm not really impressed. Could be that this is a Halo 3-style "only worth its reviews cause of multiplayer" game, but it feels a lot like CoD2, except that this is 2yrs later and we expect games better than console-launch quality now.

Re: call of duty 4
 

I thought the campaign mode was the best campaign mode i have played. That whole sniper mission in Chernobyl is like the peak of video gaming so far imo.

Yeah, but isn't the whole campaign 5 hours?

Re: call of duty 4
 

ok, I'll give it a chance, I just played through like the first SAS and first American mission.

Re: call of duty 4
 

I dunno, it might have actually been less. Yeah its very short.

Re: call of duty 4
 

For the 360:

Are the movement controls just like Halo 3? Like with the two joysticks are the movements the same?

Re: call of duty 4
 

Has anyone tried to adjust the resolution for the computer game in multiplayer mode and not been able to? I can adjust it in campaign but when I do it for multiplayer it says there is an error. Any help?

Re: call of duty 4
 

Picked this game up yesterday and I love it. I was never a fan of console shooters but since Gears of War I've kinda gotten over that. Just takes some getting used to. Although the single player campaign is short, it is great. They have done a very good job of setting the 'modern warfare' atmosphere.

Also, I like how even though it's a semi-strategic shooter (the harder the difficulty, the more strategy you need), the pace is very high throughout the entire game. I've never found myself looking for places to go or even picking up all the ammo at the end of a battle.

Really, really great game!

Re: call of duty 4
 

Just got it on the Ps3.

WHAT A GAME.

Incredible. I'm so hooked... my November graph is going to suck [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: call of duty 4
 

God even multiplayer is amazing, wtf is with this game? The ranking system is sooo rad. I am up to level 12 which i believe is like Sergent II or something.

Re: call of duty 4
 

this game is almost perfect, much better than halo

Re: call of duty 4
 

So, which perks do you guys like most? I've been playing with each weapon until I get the kill challenges (not the head shot) and so far I've only done Assault Rifles and a Sniper. The perks I get with the assault rifles are 1) Claymore x2 2) Stopping Power and 3) Martyrdom.

Especially Martyrdom (which lets you drop a grenade when you die, even if you don't have one) has really been useful. The Claymore I like more with the sniper, because you can go to some good spot and close down the entrance with claymores so that you either hear some one coming or they die. 'Stopping Power' I have because I think/hope it lets me kill with less bullets.

Haven't tried anything but Team Death Match and Free for All so far though.

Re: call of duty 4
 

is this more fun that TF2 multi? im so tempted to buy

Re: call of duty 4
 

holy [censored]. this is one of the most addictive games ive played, specially on the 360.. havent been able to stop playing multiplayer and i wouldnt call myself a hardcore gamer at all!!

Re: call of duty 4
 

yeah spies were way too retarded in tf2. I will be playing cod4 and fifa2008 online as my exclusives for awhile.

Re: call of duty 4
 

I just bought this but it's not going in my 360 until I complete HL2: Episode 2, or else I'll probably never get round to it. If CoD4 is half as good as you guys are making it out to be, I can start kissing my social life goodbye!

Can someone teach me not to suck at multiplayer? It feels like it's massively exploitable by camping. You die so fast that you're pretty much hosed the second somebody sees you, so running around is fairly retarded when pretty much all the corridors have about 50 spots where someone can be hiding and shoot you from. It feels like the standard game for me is "run around the level and hopefully come across some people that aren't looking in my direction when I see them so that I can quickly dispose of them with any weapon and hopefully keep running before someone else sees me and hoses me before I have a chance to do jack [censored] to stop them."

I can't stand campers. Its the one thing that pisses me off to no end.

I can tell you the UAV changes more battles than people realize. Use your radar and you will know what room they are in. I can't tell you how many times I've run in a room and knifed someone because I know exactly where they would be standing. And get some claymores because they will run right back to that room when they respawn.
