Why do so many focus on ranking to compalin about?
Its not as if the weapons at high ranks are any better than the basic default ones.
I just dont see why people complain about it,at the end of the day what difference to online fun does it make?

I hate you

I will pass it, this weekend.

I completed the game on a nomal difficulty level.

Now im doing it on the hardest. Still stuck on this mission after two weeks. I got so close a few times.

I voted 9. I thought the single player was a decent length. At least I can play it again after I beat it.

jasonbourme.cs · 06-12-2007 06:04PM

cant think of a single thing that i would fault the game for .

played it veteran all the way through , awesome game

multiplayer is cool as well the more you play the more you unlock nice touch

I don't see why this was put in the CoD 4 forum. This thread should have been started in the games forum, then there would be a more reprisentative view point, as most of those that did not like the game are unlikely to frequent this forum.

You're welcome to create the same thread under the games forum Christophicus.

I moderate this forum and wanted to know what people who frequent the Call of Duty forum thought as they more than likely would have played the previous installments of the game franchise.

Graphics are excellent (even on my laptop) and the environment is fantastic in general.

I played the game through at 800 x 600 not realising I forgot to press apply and never noticed the graphic where only running at half what they could be.

I'm going to buy the game this evening or tomorrow cos I'm building my new PC this week-end (Q6600 and all that!). I only have a 7800GTX but my brand new XFX Alpha Dog Nvidia 8800GT Extreme Version is on its way!

Can's wait!

KamiKazi · 07-12-2007 01:34PM

There is a mode called Sabotage, which is similar to CTF. Each team has 1 bombsite, bomb spawns in the middle of the map and the first team to reach the bomb and plant it at the enemy site wins.

kaimera · 10-12-2007 11:03PM

Well after finishing CoD tonight, I'm not sure whether it deserves the 9 I gave it initially.

The utterly stupid respawning takes away from the enjoyment of some of the levels namely 'one shot, one kill' & 'heat' [i think

running to make the chopper

]

It made the game unnecessarily frustrating :mad:

What CoD4 did, it did very very well tho but I can't see much replay value of those particular levels.

Nah...don't think Sabotage is anything like CTF. To me it is more like s+d on speed.

jeawan · 11-12-2007 08:43AM

well i finaly got it working on Multi player , im used to Bf games , the Games are very fast , i find the maps a little to small , but apart from that i enjoyed it , once i got used to the game and getting killed every second ,you learn how not to die and so on im still a little lost on what is best to make in char wise , but at the moment i did find the MP5 is a rocking gun taking out people fast

Since most who play the game anyway regularly are lvl 55 stat whoring is not an issue.

And what about somebody buying the game for christmas? How are they going to feel coming up against a bunch of lvl 55's as a lowly level 1?
Call me old fashioned but i preferred online MP games where everyone was on a level playing field and the only thing that made one person better than the other was pure skill, not a special unlocked weapon the other guy doesnt have yet.
From what i have played of all the cod games, i still think the series peaked with united offensive, for MP and SP.

daveharnett · 11-12-2007 10:40AM

Not crazy about the single player. The plane and helicopter sections were excellent - better than i've seen in an fps before, and a very enjoyable change of pace. Feels very cinematic in places, at the expense of being very linear and trigger driven. By that I mean that there are lots of streets where the mission just throws an endless stream of enemies at you until you move up to an arbitrary point, after which they stop - no real tactics, just take cover and shoot. Does what it sets out to do pretty well, so 7/10. Can't comment on the multiplayer, havent's gotten around to it.

Well considering the default weapons at lvl 1 are as good as lvl 55 weapons i still dont see it as a problem.

I take your point about a level playing field but this isnt like BF2 where BF2 default weapons are inferior to high lvl weapons.
Get yourself the bog standard M16 and your sorted,after a map or two you get the red dot scope,trust me you dont need anything else.
Add to that its so easy to hit lvl 55 theres little point even having a levelling process.

I use and know many who use the default weapons more than any higher lvl weapon.

hottstuff · 11-12-2007 10:44AM

One of the best games i've played this year.

TheGreatOne · 15-12-2007 01:38AM

Top drawer stuff, most cinematic gaming experience i've ever had and it's amazing in HD and 5.1 digital surround.

Theres a way of giving a new character Lev 55 without having to level up. Google it.

Stev_o · 15-12-2007 08:57PM

Sweet jesus i need to ly down that was intense and to think it was only the demo! Cant wait for the full game come Christmas. Only problem i have with the game is the absolute nade fest by bots it annoys the hell out of me but i know the purpose of it is to keep you moving but does every nade need to be exactly 2mm beside you?

CyberGhost · 16-12-2007 11:43AM

It's a good game,

Was very fun for a short period but got boring real fast.

Ruffty^ · 18-12-2007 02:03AM

Single player was fun, but ofc with the scripting you are hardly going to replay that often.
I bought if for the multiplayer. I'm only judging the multiplayer because the sp was fun for a while and thats all you can expect.
I gave it 7, for a couple of reasons.

1. Most of the weapon's sounds are really puny, the ak should be heard from one end of the map to the other and be destinctive, like the real thing.
2. The maps are tiny. Mostly 3 streets with a bit of an open area, some buildings. Really, really poor. I don't know if custom maps will happen, especially with the problem of server ranking. You can have a server with 50 people, why the hell not make a map for 50 people and maybe challenge bf2 and quake wars, with larger scale battles. Putting in 4/5 large maps would have satisfied so many more players.
3. Also a more specific gripe. I was playing against this guy with juggernaut perk. He used the mp5. Whenever I met him in close range he did the same thing over and over. He would jump across my screen while shooting the mp5 off the hip. This was successful far too often. After a few times, I asked him did he have the perk that lets you fire more accurately off the hip, and he didn't. It seems the mp5 is rediculously accurate while jumping. In a game with a reasonable amount of realism it was frustrating that a guy can top a server for 4maps because his first reaction at close range is to jump. I don't know if this tactic works with other weapons.
4. Having to wait till the end of the round and only getting a few seconds to change weapons loadouts. Or having to disconnect from the server to do it.

These flaws have not put me off the game, they are just what I would have needed addressed to give it a 10/10.
Despite these annoying flaws, I am still very pleased with the game and prefer it to crysis. Best game I have played this year.

BostonB · 18-12-2007 02:15AM

Its a very good game. But its not simulation like OFP or similar.

Pride Fighter · 18-12-2007 03:41PM

I am considering getting it but fear the oul PC is too underpowered. It has a 3.09Ghz Pentium 4, 512 MB ram and the crappy geforce fx 5200 graphics card. Does anyone know if it will work on such a machine?

It may do but try the demo to get a better idea on if its playable to be sure. I think that there is a web site that can check your current specs though I can't remember the url. A buddy of mine is running it on a Athlon 64 3000+ with 512mb Ram and a ATI 9800 Pro 128MB. :eek: He tells me he is anyway although I haven't seen him on a server yet.

Have you ever heard a ak fire? Does it really matter that in making a game good you need the sound in perfect tandem to real life. The sounds seem to have been done, not for realism but for being able to distinctly recognize them when a few people are firing.

COD4 was designed for two 6 man teams. If you don't like the map size, stop playing in 20+player servers.

Try aiming upwards when he jumps.

I think its a great idea, forcing you to think about specific weapon loadouts for specific jobs. Where exactly is the problem with that?

Ruffty^ · 19-12-2007 09:21PM

Yes I have heard the sound of the weapon that has killed the most people in our history.

Ruffty^ wrote: »

You are not one of those players, good for you. Try looking at your server browser, you should see there are quite alot of 20+player servers, or maybe you have them filtered out. :rolleyes:

So you are happy with people jumping around and shooting, I think you would find most people are not, as it makes no sense.

My problem is waiting. I would like to be able to choose more than 5 guns when I have unlocked so many, without waiting until the end of a round or having to disconnect.

Love the game, love the weapons. I don't mind about the puny weapon sounds because it means I don't have to reach for the volume nob constantly trying to get the balance right between hearing footsteps and sounds around.

After 2000 headshots you unlock a wife and child so you can go home.
