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.

    MW4?

    Maybe we're not talking about it is because we can't time travel like you :p

    Seriously though, the majority of people hold it in high regard around here (imo) but it's hard to find non-hacked lobbies on PS3 at least.. and the numbers of people playing means it's hard to party up with people.

    Do you mean Cod 4? I still play it occasionally and theres normally people online. Only thing is I normally get a 2 bar for since I think there is a lack of people with decent host connections playing. The majority of players just get the new cod and stick with that alla MW3 and dont play the old ones anymore

    Im assuming you mean COD 4 - Modern Warfare (1)? Apart from the hate it gets, why didnt you buy the most recent title MW3 as it would have alot of people playing it or even Black Ops? AFAIK MW1 is full of hacked lobbies

    Do you mean COD4 Modern Warefare : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Duty_4:_Modern_Warfare ?

    It's a great game, and you will find people playing it online, but most have moved over to COD MW3 : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Duty:_Modern_Warfare_3

    Great gameplay, but not as good maps as COD4 IMHO

    Do you mean COD4 MW. Hard to find non hacked lobbies most people will be in TDM.

    They should do a remastered version of it, buff the graphics! get rid of all the hackers! update the gun sounds!

    Yeah sorry, that's the one I meant. I haven't a clue about recent video games (Metal Gear Solid 2 was the last one I bought!!). I was on Amazon earlier and saw it for a tenner. Googled some reviews from 2007 and it sounded amazing. Regretting it now though :(

    COD4 is the best Call of Duty. Avoid the new COD's like the plague.

    COD4 is a great game - I'm actually playing it right now. ;)

    Avoid them? Why?

    Looking forward to COD arriving next week, can't wait!

    People think that it's become too complex and gimmicky and that the overall quality has gone down since the simplistic CoD4 setup.

    More killstreaks, more gimmicks, mo' problems.

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

    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 feel sorry for you OP as you missed out on a fine game. What you're going to play is an orphaned game, nothing like it was in it's prime. The single player is brilliant, the best in the series, you'll enjoy that. It's in multiplayer where it falls down.

    Multiplayer is ruined because there hasn't been any support from it's makers, the host can end the game (and frequently does), the game favours american hosts, hackers can have automatic noob tubes and fly and possibly reset your stats. Last time I played it on xbox, half the games were ruined from the above, the other half were a pale shadow of what I remembered first time round. Also you'll develop an intense loathing of grenades.

    At the same time, since I haven't ever played anything since the PS2, it'll probably be a big step up. I'm sure I'll enjoy the single player mode (trying to remain optimistic here!).

    From now on I'll come on boards for purchasing advice

    I havent owned a consololol "PS3" in about a year now switched to pc but i recommend Metal gear solid 4 loved that on single player!In the cod series stick to the new or relatively new for a fair chance on multi player seeing as cod 4 nd mw2 is ruined by hackers/fanboys.Black ops was just utter garbage.Mw3 is ok too technical and ruined by killstreaks..but nothing compared 2 mw2 in its prime.
    Seeing as i have been a console fan and now pc i wold've got a pc at a younger age if i knew it was as good as it is..

    Im not trying to troll or be a flame but do you play pc? personally i only play cod 4 promod and theres a tiny minority and when people notice they contact server admin and that person get a permanent ban or there online cd key terminated meaning they cant play online unless they fork out the cash.
