Yes, I have it for PC! After playing online for a little over an hour I can say it's one of the best I've played. The weapon choice and modifications you can make are great, and really add depth to multi player. Classes are good too, you can be any number of things, or even make your own when you get the ability to create a class when you reach a certain rank. You get experience for assisting someone kill or killing a person, and you have to have a certain number of experience points to rise in the ranks. While you rise in ranks, the higher you go the more modifications you can make to your gun.

Some of us should get together and play some time.

(definitely worth the 50 bucks at Wal-Mart)

I just finished the single player campaign. Thats how you tell a story! And a great homage paid to Half Life 1 in the beginning.

Just read the COD4 forum and see the rain of threads along the lines of "COD4 doesn't run on my system" ... "My framerate makes the game unplayable" ... "My graphics are distorded".

I slided the CD in my 360, and enjoyed the game right away, no issue on my 52" plasma in 1080i.

Now if I could find a deathmatch server without the killcam that gives my position away, that would be nice.

Funny enough both my gaming boxes run COD4 smoothly. Which can't be said about Crysis.

Consoles are for kiddies, fps games are 100% unplayable with gamepads. Mouse ftw!

A console with keyboard and mouse option for playing would be great for FPS games. I dont like controllers either so my xbox has 2cm of dust covering it.

It takes time getting use to the controller. I started slow. First with SOCOM on the PS2, it was third person, but it helped me work out the aiming issues with a controller. Now I find I am even better with a controller than I am with a keyboard and a mouse. Everything I need is right there, I do not have to move around the key board to change a weapon or open a door.

I love PC gaming, but the fact is, PC gaming is on the way out when it comes to shooters. There is nothing a PC can do that the next gen console can't do when it comes to shooters. I was able to pop my COD 4 disk in and play away. No server issues, no computer issues, nothing to install, no shortcuts to create, just start and go.

With the 360s ability to allow companies to patch their games, you always have easy updates available, no patches to download and install, or worse re-install, then patch like you have on some PCs. For me, the only reason to have a high end PC is for flight sims. Once you jump over the controller hurdle you will see how much better it is on this side.

Weird I never had a single issue with installing games on PC. And most you can patch for no-cd so you don't need to keep the disc in drive or even worse, wait for slow dvd load times.

BBBB · « **Reply #24 on:** November 17, 2007, 09:25:58 AM »

Slow Dvd times? I have never had a loading time on CoD 4 for my 360 take longer than 5-6 secs. You can set your PC up for no CD, but then you still have to worry about things like star force, hacking, bad patches and a host of other problems you don't see with the 360.

You might come across someone with a modded box, but MS does scans for those and is pretty good at catching the hacked boxes. They ban their XBL accounts so they can not play online using that 360 any more. This means no cheating, no punk buster to download and let scan your system at random points during a game, lagging the server and slowing your system performance. You should try it out before you make a judgment call. I am glad I did.

My husband & sons love it.

Learned a new phrase as a result. Two sons on opposing teams screaming "screen-watcher!" at one another as they snuck up on one another's positions for the kill. *rolling my eyes*

All console games come with $15 premium here, not worth the extra cost.

You have a strange value on convenience. I don't know about you, but I piss 20$ or more a week on BS items, if 15$ is all that is standing between you and buying a next gen console, then I call BS. Your just afraid to cross over to the dark side.

The masses here don't know it but all next-gen console games have that tacked on the price. That's why Xbox 360 and PS3 games cost $60 as opposed to the average $49 for PC games. The common excuse from the gaming companies about costs of console games being the reason for the increased price is pure BS.

Who here has it for the PC? Would any of you be interested in forming a list of our game names and perhaps establish some sort of "get together" thing?

My game name is Seth.
