Just a question here. I saw COD 4 was out so the price on version 2 dropped pretty far. I finished it and was wondering was there a COD 3? I haven't seen anything but 1,2 and 4 on the shelves.
Has anyone played Crysis yet? Any good as a stand alone game, not onlilne?
-
COD3 was for consoles only if I remeber right.
-
cod4 was awesome i love online and shooting through walls'
-
COD 3 came out last year :lol . It's based on the push into Chambois, France, the Falaise Gap. You get to play as Americans, British Special Operations Executive, Canadians, and Polish.
-
WOOT! How did I miss that.
Just loved both COD1 and COD2.
So, how is COD4 in xomparison with the new MOH? Didn't like the pacific MOH at all....
-
MOH Airborne isn't that good. CoD4 kicks MOHA's prettythang.
-
CoD4 is the best game i played so far. And i havent touched the multiplayer part yet.

How steep are the system requirements?
Would my P4 3ghz and 6600 gt video card suffer through it?

Crysis is absolutely stunning. Mind you, you need a Chernobyl powered puter to run it at good-looking settings.

TxDad & the 3 TxSons really, really love the CoD4.
-
it nothing compared to world in conflict tho which i just now got
-
Is World in Conflict a first person or a RTS game?
-
World in Conflict is RTS. Its an incredible game with an excellent storyline. Unfortunately it crashes consistantly in multiplayer and renders it pointless until they come out with a patch for it.
-
Is World in Conflict strictly a multiplayer game or does it have a single player side to it?
-
COD4 is really amazing. Unfortunately either it's ridden with hackers or the network code needs ironing. I find that I'm getting killed regularly with 1-2 hits where I can empty a clip of M249 on some people with no effect.
The kill-cam feature is really cool since it lets you see exactly how the opponent killed you (through his eyes).
-
I'd suggest its you if thats the case, I'm yet to have anything like that happen in Multiplayer
In Hard Core servers a single round can take someone down...the G3 with a red-dot or ACOG is excellent for this task, although I usually prefer the M4, or P-90 for CQB maps

I thought its pretty stable, but then I haven't played it for a couple of weeks...but I don't believe its been patched since...After awhile it becomes very repitive

Based on all the great things I've heard, I ordered COD4 last night off Steam, and let it download all night so it's ready to play tonight.
I did hear the single-player game is quite short. Is that true?
Also, the only similar multiplayer game I've played was Counter-Strike (and I played a lot of it, back when it was good). How does it compare? Less fun than Team Fortress 2, more fun than Counterstrike?
-
single is really short but fun. the MP has a ton of varities so you can basically play any type of game you want. Search and destroy is like CS.

... headshots ;) and a handheld SAW is not the most accurate weapon in the world.:confused:
-
... also if you want a level playing field against decent guns, you might be able to do a little tweaking to the game and connection. not sure what engine COD uses but for quake games cvars like rate, snaps, maxpackets etc make a big difference.:aok

COD4 has a game mode called "Search and Destroy". It's an exact rip off of Counterstrike(1 bomb two targets). It's the only way I play COD4 now. Great fun.

According to the 'kill cam' they were anything from a leg shot to gut shot. They just spray in the general direction and boom I'm dead.

I'm a little more than halfway through, so I can't say how short it is just yet... but if you're anything like me, you'll have a hard time playing for more than 20-30 minutes at a time, it's very intense. Sensory overload, for sure. It's one of the most amazing gaming experiences I've had yet. :)

Re: World in Conflict
Bought it, played it a bit, put it on the shelf. Worst RTS I've ever played. Command & Conquer still is the RTS king imo.
WOC- no single player offline option (Absolutely loved C&Cs skirmish mode). I typically don't play campaigns much, too limited for me. I like the ability to choose what/how I want to do. I didnt like the limitations forced on me, if I chose Armor, I didnt have access to infantry, or when I chose Air I didnt have heavy armor units availiable to me. I didnt like the point system, seemed cheesey, like they were looking for a way to limit your usable units but couldnt come up with a decent idea.
All in all I found the single player/campaign to fall far, far short of the mark. Graphics were stunning (aside from the water color artwork), but a t urd with pretty lights is still a tur d.
WOC online - basically a bunch of nukes going off. Little challenge & no skill needed.
Whats up with the craptastick watercolor artwork instead of movie clips anyway?
I've got my eye out for the CoD games, when I find them at prices I'm willing to pay I plan on picking them all up.
-
Coshy,
Thanks very much for the evaluation, I do appreciate it. I guess I'll wait until it hits the bargain shelf.
-
cod4 is a great shoot em up and I love it.
My system can run it well and its beautiful. Multiplayer is FUN!
Single player is immersive but I would say short also./ Stick it on the hardest level and it would take MUCH longer ;)

1) kill everyone so you dont get any kills or
2) blow you up with an airstrike because he has an uber kill streak.

Heh, most likely meaning he's playing with a slightly altered client. :lol
I take uber in FPS games with two grains of salt. So should you.

you have to see it to believe it.
He used to be a pro gamer quake etc etc.

The thing that bothers me in COD4 is that I can't get positional awareness from audio using headphones. In AAO you can easily tell from which locations shots are coming from but COD4 it's just a mess, someone can shoot you from behind and you'll never know where it's coming from untill you see the tracers and die. Another really weird thing is that when I run into another player head to head sometimes they pop me down with 1 shot before I manage to pull the trigger. I.e. kill me instantly they pop into view.
Then when I look into the kill cam they had good time to see me and to react. This means they see a totally different view compared to me. It's like my client lags for 1 second before I even see the enemy by which time I already drop down dead.
Really weird and it seems to happen only with certain players. I'm 100% sure someone discovered some lag exploit.
-
that happens with the ps3 version also. I dont see the guy but on the kill cam he has a good couple seconds of seeing me.

Alright, I've played COD4 for the past day or so, and I've remembered why I don't love the COD series: everything is so scripted.
First and foremost, the game looks fantastic on my new quad-core Q6600 with an nVidia 8800 GT. The controls are decent, the storyline isn't annoying enough to disrupt my enjoyment, and the GUI is functional. What I don't like is how every encounter feels so fake. You kill 30 or 40 guys, who appear like magic in a neverending stream, and then move on. Makes me feel like I'm supposed to run and gun constantly, instead of methodically clear and area before moving on, like I assume SpecOps dudes are trained to do.
Minor gripes, I guess. Overall I'm happy to have spent the $50, and I'm looking forward to finishing up and trying out multiplayer.

Engine,
I saw that alot in COD2. If you hang back and fire from a distance the enemy never runs out of bodies. If you fire and move up quickly the combat is over much faster with far fewer enemy.
One thing I did enjoy quite a bit was the option to take differant routes or changes in tactics to ahieve the over all goal for some of the episodes.
