CoD4 - Out of fashion?

I just ordered a PS3 and COD4 MW. First time buying a console in about 10 years and first time playing one in about 5!

Just wondering why there's very little activity on this forum about MW4. Does no one play it anymore?! That's a bit worrying 'cos I read that the one-player mode is really short, so I bought it for its online aspect.

My COD4 senses are tingling! I'm the resisdent COD4 obsessive/super fan/addict here, how may I help you?

Seriously though, it's the best COD from the current gen consoles (PS3 and Xbox 360) by some distance.... IMO.. before anyone starts whining. I still play it for a few games here and there but has already been mentioned, 2 bar connection is all too common for myself and a few people I know who still play it. Still easy to do very well but nonetheless it's off putting at the same time having to be at a disadvantage to the rest of the players who seem to be from the US.

If the game was patched, I'd be back playing COD4 and wouldn't be fussed about the newer ones myself.

Single player (one player) is fantastic btw.

I don't get this, usually more **** in the air bit. You can only have one chopper. Airstrikes were never the greatest of killstreaks. UAV is UAV, and there was no Hardling perk to boot. As I said above. An RPD by one if not two people and it's down. On a few of the maps the chopper flies down really low, and you can actually use C4 on it if not get a few RPG shots on it.

It always has to be stressed how long CoD4's peak was . All the capable players have moved onto further CoD games or are playing something else be it a FPS or have quite simply ceased gaming for whatever reason. More good players, more people taking stuff out and less likely to put together killstreaks.

CoD4 is saturated with newbies (could be read a few different ways) to the game or trickshotters nowadays. You'll get the odd few experienced players on console but it's rare to see a clan on. If anything, it's people like me just wanting to remember the good times and/or get away from the likes of that utter piece of crap that is MW3. MW3 bit doesn't apply to me obviously as playing in traffic is nearly more appealing than playing that game.

I'll agree that a game should have been purely Barebones from the off likewise the future titles. But a game like that won't sell for kids. You have to include a MOAB/nuke, an AC130, a chopper or even a UAV. I know I've said in the past but the Barebones game type in this current gen of CoD titles should award more points. When ranking up, there's no real incentive to play it I feel other than to get away from the BS briefly in normal modes. It was surreal but very fun to play Barebones in MW2 for me I do remember that.
