    I love both but WAW is my fav, even though its kicked me a couple of times like resetting my stats when I prestiged and the makin day patch that gave us the free content error, but still love the game for giving me The Dome & Asylum maps :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 520 ✭✭✭TheGreatOne


    Modern Warefare has a much better single player campaign imo, it's actually like playing through a blockbuster movie, its absolutely incredible.

    With regards to the MP side of things they are both excellent shooters, two of the best around. It all depends whether your tired of the WWII setting or not, which I know a lot of people are by this stage. If you are then Modern Warefare is the way to go as an all round quality package.

    cod 4 hands down


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭Lab_Mouse

    Cod5 is one of the worst FPS games I have ever played on PC.

    That is all.

    Never got into the PC games so wont start the whole debate again but to see a comment like that about COD5 is unreal.

    both COD4 & WAW are in a class of their own and long may the series continue.

    COD 4 for me. Not into the WW2 gameplay myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,411 ✭✭✭jonski


    If you can afford it buy both . Couldn't pick one over the other .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81 ✭✭CyanRain


    They're both absolutely amazing games, but I'd pick WAW for the Multiplayer Maps like Station + Castle :D
    Bouncing Betty's + Castle = Fun! Fun! Fun! ;)

    Just bought WAW over the weekend and really enjoying it. The Maps are huge and I like that the guns arent as powerful or advanced as in COD4, adds a bit more skill to getting a kill :)

    I like the addition of the dogs too

    CoD4 without a doubt, I didn't even bother buying CoD5 after the beta...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,918 ✭✭✭Steffano2002


    They're not even in the same league! CoD4 without breaking a sweat!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 190 ✭✭TheBigFella


    both COD4 & WAW are in a class of their own and long may the series continue.

    The new map pack for WAW has just nudged it ahead of COD4 for me. Especially Knee Deep.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91 ✭✭Kirijoleth


    I play both games on the PC and think CoD4 game play is a lot better than WaW. Here are my points for and against the games . . .


    CoD4:

    For:
    Well balanced weapons
    Great sound effects
    A lot of highly skilled players *points at Toughy*
    Great multiplayer maps

    Against:
    The graphics have a washed out look
    Noob-tube



    WaW:

    For:
    Zombie and co-op modes


    Against:
    Until this game arrived I didn’t think I’d ever see more shades of brown than Quake I.
    There’s little difference between guns.
    Poor sound effects
    Not enough servers running co-op and zombie modes
    Very few high skilled players
    Higher spec PC needed with little to show for it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,918 ✭✭✭Steffano2002


    Good analysis Kirijoleth! Except for pointing at Toughy and using the words "Highly Skilled"... LOL :p

    Seems that if you play on the PC, you HAVE to prefer CoD4. Console players are quite happy with WaW though. Then again, that's not really surprising... Treyarch only really code for consoles (remember CoD3). In fact, Treyarch should ONLY code for consoles! That would be great!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,411 ✭✭✭jonski


    Seems that if you play on the PC, you HAVE to prefer CoD4.

    Play on PC , much prefer COD WAW . For me COD 4 was just a spray fest .


    Didn't you have a connection problem with COD WAW at the start ?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭KamiKazi


    Good analysis Kirijoleth! Except for pointing at Toughy and using the words "Highly Skilled"... LOL :p

    there is no such thing as skill in Cod4... it is all randomness to the power of <random_number>


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,132 ✭✭✭Dinner


    CoD5 by a country mile.

    CoD 4 got boring very quickly with nearly every gun being identical, every map resorted to spraying (unsurprising since their was only a handful of guns that weren't full auto), and the maps were some of the worst that I've ever played. Far to small.
    Single player was good but even in this respect CoD5 is better


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,096 ✭✭✭smooch71


    It's interesting that while there seems to be generally good views on both games, everybody is focusing on the multiplayer.

    In terms of plot and storyline COD 4 wins hands down. WaW never really stood a chance because a lot of people wrote it off months before it came out for two reasons: World War II & Treyarch. Which wasn't really fair because it's really an excellent game.

    If I had to stop playing one of them it would be WaW but I think they're both excellent games.

    I suppose with Modern Warfare 2 on they way, we won't see any more map packs for COD 4?

    Use this all the time, excellent for gamers.


    I was looking at www.xfire.com today and noticed on the list of most popular games CoD4 is in second place CoD2 third place and CoD:WaW is at ninth place.

    true, it was very random, with promod3 and cook nades, but now promodlive has reduced the random factor and game is much more balanced and enjoyable to play.

    lol at steff's comment, you swear the frog was any good anyway. :cool:

    OMG its John "Toughy" Tougherson Tralees no.1 gamer!

    why, because you can't shoot point and click at people, you have to rocketjump/sticky jump, get midair shots and stuff? :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 313 ✭✭ToughyIRE


    no, i just never had any fun playing any of the classes in the game besides the sniper, that and the way its a too much team based, doesnt suit my gamestyle:P

    Can someone explain to me why WaW is terrible on the PC? I have heard about this numberous times.

    I played CoD4 on the PC recently, quite mad compared to console. Took a while to get use to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,789 ✭✭✭grizzly


    I've resisted WAW so far, waiting on MW2 :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,964 ✭✭✭Podge2k7


    Iv started playing Modern Warfare again recently and by god what a game:D

    For some it was terrible because their ISP was NTL/UPC and they couldn't connect , beyond that I have no idea .


    edit : oh yeah , some had a problem with the sound as well , no idea what that was about either .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 188 ✭✭liverpo


    COD4 simply one of the best games of all time, WAW is great and the trophies are fairly handy, but MW for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,015 ✭✭✭Ludo


    COD2 is better than them all by a country mile as far as playability goes!
