COD4 PC n00b

[Scouse]

Mate gave me his copy as he's not bothered. Just played the first few levels of the single player game and I have to ask: What's the fuss??

It's quite pretty but after spending the last couple of weeks hammering Fallout 3 I'm just gagging for a bit of freedom.

Very consoley. Honestly, is it worth persevering?

 

[nath]

It is *very* linear but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It is quite a good laugh but I hear most people rant about how great the multiplayer is.

 

[Scouse]

Maybe I've just gone off linear gaming. The last linear game I played was Unreal 3 (I think, can't quite remember 'cause it was shit) and have been used to playing MMO's, RPG's or fast online shooters.

I guess it feels like it was designed for the xbox

 

[nath]

It does, but that's not inherently a bad thing. Keep at it, there are some great set-pieces in it later on and it's not the longest game ever.

Well COD has never been a Sandbox style shooter so what's the problem?

The 360 didn't force them not to make it a sandbox shooter the game has been linear since it's creation

The graphics on the PC are much better then the Xbox so i can't really see what your getting at.

The singleplayer is fantastic and the setpeices have to be played to be believed, C130 gunship mission is one of the best missions in any shooter ever.

Your loss ;/

The fanboys are coming, run for the hills!

I've never been a fan of any CoD game, the multiplayer is amusing for a while, but I much prefer CSS for a 'realistic' shooter.

 

[tris-]

COD has always been linear.

Realistic?

[Wonk]

Realistic?

lola

heh, both are very unrealistic.

 

[throdgrain]

He used inverted commas to demonstrate he didnt actually think they were realistic, you pair of twats.

 

[Shagrat]

hahaha

If you like 'realistic', you should try Red Orchestra.

Really? I thought it was tedious in the extreme.

Also found quite a few levels where I died the first time through simply cos I didn't know where enemies were going to spawn. Ferris wheel anyone?

Multi is ok ... if you like grenades

 

[Raven]

I liked the single player game a lot first time round, bit boring after that. The sniper level especially, very good. The multi player is guff due to tiny little maps.

People lobbing nades to the other side of the map when the game starts gets rather ridiculous indeed.

your one of the few people I know to not like COD4 so whatever you say it seems your one of those people to hate something a majority of people like just so you can be different.

Fanboy logic, ladies and gentlemen. It bears no resemblance to our common earth logic.

The "tedious" remark was referring to the Gunship mission, I enjoyed the game overall

My apologies.

 

[Wij]

Shrotest. Game. Ever.

 

[PLightstar]

I enjoyed the single player, wasn't a fan of the MP the unlocks and perks didn't do anything for me. Not a fan of COD's move to modern shooting, prefer the WW2 setting, always been more fun for me.

Played Special ops round my mates house and was impressed, kinda like the Ghost Recon co-op but a lot quicker.

 

[throdgrain]

You total bastard.

 

[Moriath]

cod and cod:uo were the best its gone down hill since then

Bad multiplayer compared to the likes of Bad company

 

[throdgrain]

Well, I dunno about that.

I've played all them games too, but since finally giving up CSS a month ago or so, I find it's CoD4 I keep coming back too ...

 

[Laddey]

clearly the best multiplaying shooter out. imo!

 

[Marc]

If you are 8.

For those over the age of 15, Battlefield Bad Company 2 is where its at!

 

[nath]

And for over the age of 57 it's CS:S.








*runs*.





*Realises there's no need to be so quick, so ponderously ambles off*

 

[throdgrain]

I like CoD4, if anyone wants a game I usually play on OTLWS s-d server
