CoD4; Thoughts?

[GhostOfGallipoli]

TBH im not that impressed. really does seem to be CoD2.5. same look and feeling but with modern weapons

and quite spammy with the huge fucking cross hairs



nice iron sites though and the javelin missile was fun

[switch.]

i think its great, it is a little spammy but thats just because its single player.

once you come up against other people in MP that actually aim you will have to aswell, and if you aim with the guns they are fucking deadly. cant wait for the full release!

[Xt1ncT]

Yeah I liked it.

Very short but fun.

As Switch says the weapons are deadly. Aim correctly squeeze off a couple of rounds, or a couple of bursts and the enemy is down.

Looks beautiful as well.Hopefully the full game will be better than Medal of Honour Airborne. I was very disappointed with that. But this looks and feels great.

[elemunk]

Yea I think its awesome.

It seems spammy because your playing in single player against roughly 80 enemies on a small map, fire EVERYWHERE.

Cod4 has been designed to be an E-sport game, so when it comes to multi player and competitive competition, 5v5, it will be deadly, with one bullet to the head dropping players and 3 to 4 body shots, much like CS.

can't wait to have a blast on multi player.

Also the cross hairs will be adjustable, the aiming seems nice, but ill wait for a new PC that gets more than 5fps on the demo.

Definitely wont be able to run and gun and be accurate with this online.

[Snake_Daddy]

hey have u got any other info on multi player side.?

How many players does this game support?
Is 5v5 likely to be the only comp format?
What game modes does it have?


ps Ive only ever player cod on lan so im pretty noob.

there are ALOT of game modes but the main competitive mode for COD is the same as css, 5v5 teams with one team planting a bomb and the other drying to defend/defuse.

Loved it,mp is defenitly gonna be awesome.It ran smoothly at 1680x1050 with settings max on a 8800gts640.

good to hear :) i just finished squeezing mine into my midi case

[ChoppyNZ]

its nice but not worth the 1.4gb of data D: i finished it in 20 mins on the second to last difficulkty setting

i ran it on alll max settings that the demo allows on 1240x1042 with 0 anti aliens

javlin ftw! liked the weapons and stuff... Shooting threw walls and barrles and stuff FTW!

[KiLL3r]

I foudn the game quite enjoyable. Didnt find anything wrong with the guns accuracy. Its only spammy if you dont use the sight which is a good thing. Runs very nice although you can tell its just CoD2 set in the future, just like bf2142 was for bf2.

Definitely worth buying

[ubernuber]

Just installed and played a few minutes and really enjoyed it. Contempory multiplayer FPS on what appears to be a solid engine, exactly what Im looking for. Definately pre-ordering next week.

System wise I dont think its that demanding, compared to the other new titles anyway. My e6400 is running stock atm, and im down to 1 gig ram (on vista) 8800gts320. Med/High settings on 1440*900 and the game ran smooth as. Curious to see how its running on lower spec'd systems.

can't wait for the full game - good to see the bots back you up

[Snake_Daddy]

Well after etqw and moh. This game feels fucking awesome. cant wait.

[Benji77]

i liked it for my 1st COD game ive every play. i cant really compare it to the others.

once i changed some of the controls to be like bf2 i was swt haha

[[TBAG] MrFiskIt]

fuck it is intense. i like it. - well single player anyway haha.

[SirGrimNZ]

Yer tis was very intense.Once at the part were you ahve to protect the tank it got insane,couldn't decide which way to face,they were coming from all fronts.I liked the demo,only complaint is that it didn't have mp!

I Liked the control setup it looks very open to setting it up how you like.

Gfx looked pretty ok+ i didn't get any gfx lag, i hope multi player is the same.

Lol i liked the fact you can throw nads back, its going to be interesting to see what that is like in multi player.

[KiLL3r]

here some screen. i maxed everything out and it hasnt dropped below 30fps once.

Some of the gfx arnt very sharp in some places, the scenery and vehicles like the helicopters look terrible, but the weapon models are pretty nice.

This game is amazing. Easily the best COD yet. Potential to be my favourite Single Player FPS yet. You really feel like you are in a war. COD 1 & 2 always felt a little too aracdy, but the enemy AI is very, very good. They don't charge at you like loonies any more. They use cover awesomely. Guns feel sweet, and I think that their damage reduces over range. Noob Tube is the shit!!!

Can't wait for MP.

Just played it I really liked it the graphics where nice good lighting effects and game felt smooth
Looking forward to playing this on multi player.

[Slim]

Lol Killer. Na I was real impressed right at the start how they used the cover. In all the other COD they just stand there and shoot with a random combat roll for a laugh. I also think it looks pretty as hell. Am very, very excited...

[swindle]

Fucking hell. Awesome.

The perfect replacement for BF2/Css etc. The GFx were not as good as i expected BUT, there is a BIG but, i got roughly 70-110FPS the whole time, even during the mega fire fight at the end. So, even thought the GFx are not as nice as i expected, i am very glad they leveled them out with the gameplay.

Nicely done. They are still very impressive however, sharp and crisp with nice detailing at places. The day this is out, im online.

i think the full version graphics improve. just seeing the youtube videos from the gaming conventions it looks a lot more realistic and has increased depth of field when zooming in for example....i guess we will find out soon enough.

[ChoppyNZ]

people do need to take into account that graphics can only be set to a max of half... the full verison WILL come with better graphics just because of this. wiether or not you can have them at max on your rig is your problem :p

The AI system has been greatly improved in my view now that i actualy look at it.

im installing now. I have been led to believe great things, and given how quick et:qw gets boring and how small and distinctly un-fps tf2 felt I am begging for a lifeline. And yes tf2 was ok but after a couple rounds I just still wasnt feeling it

[ubernuber]

Played it thru again twice, love it aye. Have just pre-ordered. $85 from GP was all good I thought.

[MrBurNZ]

Awesome! Guns were real cool, inc sniper.
Will defiantly buy.

[[Mgp]]

I notice the ai are still doing retarded things like crouching and covering their heads as if there is an artillery strike going on when there is nothing actually happening at all-Just like they did in cod 1 and 2, also it "feels" hardly any different to cod 2. Of course there are a lot of improvements and I am sure it will be a great game(esp. mP), it just doesn't seem very "next gen" to me, tbh.

[Lolo]

yup agree, nothing absolutley heartstopping but seems to be a solid shooter on a great engine.

[KiLL3r]

sniper rifle seem a little over powered. It can shoot thru anything in cluding those solid concrete blocks.

[M@lice]

i need to get myself a new pc but untill then tf2 will suffice its the only game were at the end of a hour of playing it and havn a shit team getting rolled i can walk away and not actually wanna break something. BUT if i had a pc that could play this i would be playn this 24/7

[Spigalau]

What no vehicles ?

[ArtanisNZ]

sniper rifle seem a little over powered. It can shoot thru anything in cluding those solid concrete blocks.

actually its pretty realistic, they aren't solid they have up to 3 holes to allow for re-bar and concrete core to be pours in foundation situations (builders feel free to correct), 5.56mm ammo is capable of break through unfilled blocks with ease. And the Sniper Rifle is use 7.62mm Ammo.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/images/556rvol.gif

i think the best part is the AI. they act realistically the die realistically. they try to kill you in a realistic manner...

btw. for anyone who can run this demo maxed out. congratulations you can run this game on medium.

anyone who is struggling to run this maxed out. congratulations you are only able to tun this game on medium :)

Spamming is shooting of a lot of rounds, as far as i am aware.

[nick247]

yes and no, shooting off alot of rounds is usually a characteristic of most "spammy" guns, devs balance rounds per sec against accuracy

The defining characteristic is the accuracy, ie a sniper rifle is usually not considered a spammy gun

[KiLL3r]

Spamming is shooting of a lot of rounds, as far as i am aware.

spamming = spray n pray, shooting a whole round to hit one target
spammy = inacurrate weapons fire


or thats the way i see it anyways

runs smooth as on lowish, runs acceptably on medium-highish

still a low res though.

as for the game, epic, love it, it's just like the other CODs, simple, fast and rewarding.

[BROX]

Single Player is great as per all the Call of Duty games but almost certainly not going to buy it since the Multiplayer of COD has never appealed to me.

You can run around the level mowing everyone down randomly without using ironsights from large distances so I don't see why it would be any different online.

[[Mgp]]

after playing through the demo a couple more times, i have to say they that while some of the textures etc may not look that fantastic, I think infinity ward have definately upped the awesomeness a few more notches from the already great cod 1 and 2. I can only imagine how good the mp will be since they have worked on it for awhile now.

[Black Heart]

I'm glad the sp is impressive, but i wouldn't get to excited about accuracy being a given in multiplayer. what was the netcode like in previous COD's ? (I only played them sp)

Ack Im going to buy it because of the multiplayer element and the single player factor, if it was only a single player game i wouldn't even touch it. Hopefully if the mutliplayer side sucks it will get either tweaked by the developer team or modders will come along and do it themselfs.

+there is a multi-player hardcore mode

[nick247]

accuracy of guns using ironsights compared to non-ironsights is significant to gameplay, watch those vids i posted, the ironsights easily let you get the instant headshots,

Well I have got this demo and totally love it. Only problem is when I try to change any graphics settings the game crashes on restart saying something about direct X. I went to look at the readme as it told me to but got nothing :( Can anyone help here?

do you have a shit computer? might not be able to handle any higher than the default.

[Anaraith]

I have a 6600GT with 3 gigs o ram and a AMD Athlon 64 3200+. I am not expecting the game to run at max settings but surely more than 800X600.

EDAT// Well I decided to see if it was possible to turn down the settings. Once I did that I thought what the hell and tried turning them up. Turns out it works now... Yay for nice looking game. This game is defiantly something I want.

[Spork]

Anyone able to finish the demo on veteran without dying at all? I can get to the part where you have finished off the first wave near the tank, but then I get slaughtered by the guys to the west.

I bloody got up to that part then was killed by an exploding car ffs.

TBH im not that impressed. really does seem to be CoD2.5. same look and feeling but with modern weapons

and quite spammy with the huge fucking cross hairs



nice iron sites though and the javelin missile was fun
why did you expect anything other than a CoD game?

(Not jealous over that screen. Much.)

[Lone-Star]

does anyone feel sea sick from watching your guy run / sprint and the camera shakes??
any way to turn this off?

[Invisty]

Motion sickness is actually becoming an issue these days, believe it or not. Turns out theres a lot of gamers who lose it when their screen starts wobbling.

[SirGrimNZ]

Haha,lol,weaklings.
However for people that can handle motion sickness problems,not those who just vomit the minute they turn their head sideways or fall over.Now in Japan or sumit there,they made this screen that runs at 4000p....amazing i know.Anyways and like they specially made a video to play on it of a boat rocking side to side,and then they got test subjects in.Within a few minutes of playing the video at 4000p everyone started to throw up. Lol i just thought that was funny at the time.

Right on. Deathadder ftw.

i don't get to the point of actually throwing up, but it does make me feel ill for a while after... BF2142 had the same when you jumpd into the walker but you had the option of turning camera shake off

[-CowwieStyle-]

I know. Looks like a good mouse.

Habu fail :p Cheap ripoff deathadder.

wtf? it has 7 buttons vs deathadders 5, judging the mouse by its own merits and ignoring who made it/was involved = its a damn good mouse(esp the one i use).

if you liked the shitty, spammy combat that BF2 eventually turned into with grenades flying everywhere blowing you up every 3 seconds, you'll love it :p

there's no squads, no incentive to work as a team, everyones running around spamming their weapons like idiots.

Yeah, I'd describe it as fast paced, spammy gameplay. Probably shouldn't expect much else considering it's a COD game...

if the gameplay mechanics had been thought out a bit better I think it could have been pretty awesome, but to me it just feels like an overexaggerated, dumbed-down arcade shooter made for the console gamers

PS. this is purely just my personal opinion, of course ;)

no wonder you have bad rep.

Your a steriotyping, mind speaking, un-censoring retard,

I may have all these qualitys too, but I dont manage to cause people, much, disrespect.

This thread is about COD4, i also hear that multiplayer is very un-co'op, but its hard when everyones still figuring stuff out.

Give it some time, then the real game will be clear

Ditto, 99% of people playing it right now are noobs, its way to early to make judgements about team work.

[nzBaron]

there is potential for team work. Theres no squads, but there is voip, and if you cant make something work by sticking together with team mates an not going rambo Im sure you could make a rope mod, where all players are connected by a 6 foot piece of rope to enforce team play

[Benji77]

does need more team work. wanna play a scrim or something

found it fun tho

[`Dirty Heathen]

I really like it looks nice got hit reg custmozing the kits is wicked.

32 players are too much though had a lot more fun 8v8.

[Jipt]

Very fun game, SP is short as to be expected. Takes about 5-6hours, with a bonus level after the credits

How the hell can people complain about teamwork in pubs on a brand new game ffs? lol

Has blowen me out of the water. Level 20 or something already. Love the unlocks and perks. Getting a heli is fun, smokes people good. Really really getting into it. Hooked.

[switch.]

THIS GAME IS THE AWESOME!!!!

offcourse its spammy at the moment because everyone is running around trying out the weapons.

once you start playing a game mode like S&D with 16 players it changes the whole game.

everyone should get on the gamers servers so we dont have to play with shitty aus ping.

[-CowwieStyle-]

+ how do you fix it when it doesn't show all the servers that are available?.

I like it. Nice change from BF2 and OMFG the weapons actually hit targets...
MP rounds to short...arghhhhhh

SP is good.

[solman]

I think it is bloody good, once people get the hang of the maps and start settling into the game it is going to get better

Would've been nice to see some squading though...
but I loves it:heheh:

[1/2Pulse.]

Already sick of it.

[Lone-Star]

Already sick of it.

im getting like that already

[1/2Pulse.]

Theres just dosnt seem to be a change in each sp mission i don't know what it is but everything seems to be the same.

Even with crysis change the location gave me a Wow. But not this :disappoin

[switch.]

thats because it was made to be a competitive multiplayer fps, the single player is just a bonus.

[5loth]

best gaming i've had in YEARS.


for those that say you need squads, your team IS the squad.

[SirGrimNZ]

That's how I feel about crysis,i played through the demo twice,by the second time,the novelty had worn off,and I was like,wow that's wasn't as great as i thought.

[bobziolla]

lol cant wait till monday, then i can finally play it ^___^ even tho people say there bored of it, ill enjoy it cos its fast paced ^__^

[elemunk]

Having a play with the server settings (there's SO much customization), and all the game modes, this game is the closest thing to a perfect competitive FPS out-of-the-box I have ever seen.

It needs tweaking, but Cod4 will go far, an amazing game.

[aLi3nZ]

<3 the game so far. Far Exceeded my expectations.

[SirGrimNZ]

Yes,well I'm loving it so far,and I can't wait for a mod to come out!
32 players isn't the max,so having a 64 player map off the engine would be sweet,someone just to build a bigger map

[winfieldsaregoo]

im sooo loveing this game BF what ever its is name was can piss off and die

absolutely bloody loving the multiplayer. as others have said SP sucks.

The bf2 infantry only part can go FOAD, the infantry and vehicles part is still cool for me(unless Crysis some how tops it(game play wise not gfx wise)).

[[TBAG] MrFiskIt]

I will never play BF2 again.

for those of us that enjoyed the IO part of BF - COD is taken that and run with it far far ahead of where BF is.

it is such such such a good game.

i played for about 5 hours last night and only just managed to have 1 game on each of the maps.

come back for much more this morning.

[nzBaron]

yea theres alotta maps!! - only got bloody 5 hours sleep - back to it :D

really fast paced aye? good shit though :)

hope its not one of these "its good for scrimming" games like etqw was.

some people play the games purely to have fun in pugs, so if the above is true it might not last as long as people would expect.

by "out of the box" would more refer to once customized with built-in settings
it will be a good scrimming/competitive game.

by default, its great for public play. search and destroy, domination, and....

i forget the name of the other one, it has a bomb aswell, are all great modes.

altho the 'singleplayer bonus' isn't exactly correct.

[SirGrimNZ]

All cod games have the mp built around the sp mode.
That's why the maps feel make it feel like a online console fps,instead of say bf,which is a mp game,with sp built around it.

[Spork]

It's amazing how COD2 rocked so much, then COD3 sucked twice as bad as COD2 rocked and now COD4 kicks total arse.

Even if COD3 was on PC it would've sucked.

[`Dirty Heathen]

I really dont like playing on the 32 players server I Tked fuken heaps.

16 player the games feel a lot better seems to flow a lot nicer thoughts?

[Hazard]

Yeah I find 32 player a bit crazy at times. On some maps it's not bad, but on the more compact maps it's just chaos.

[brucewillis2]

fo sure if we're voting - 16 player maps only. and by that I mean 8 a side. the game is slow paced and doesn't need 32 headless chooks throwing stun nades everywhere.

[Bounty Hunter]

meh I just prepaid it through steam, think it'll unlock sometime tonight or tomorrow, whatever.

guess I'll scrim...

Well fuck, from what all the sila lads have said (espsh elemunks passionate post) I might have to go out and blow moneny on this Game.

It's a fucking sweet game, but why are all the player models so jerky and ping a lot higher? Is this something that might be patched, or permanent?

[Bounty Hunter]

fucking steam is clogged up with people preloading....

servers arent even accepting any submissions even though I've paid for the fuckin thing.

gg valve.

[9th.PirateJafa]

Even though the ping appears higher ingame, it isn't always a reflection of your "true" ping.

I think there's a thread around here where someone has already explained about latency, and I CBF'd typing it out.

[klol]

Best way to start out in CoD 4.

1. Join ventrillo with Crazy Legs and ask what server he's in.
2. Join.
3. Tell Crazy that you spawned behind him.
4. Realize that your vent key is the same button as throw grenade on CoD 4.
5. Teamkill yourself and some random guy accidentally.

The ping, while it is high, doesn't seem to affect CoD4. Not in the same way the same ping would in BF2 anyway.

[5loth]

its not true ping, best bet is ping the servers manually for a true reflection.

[[tsw].Forsaken]

really like the game so far. It's such a breathe of fresh air!!!

too bad I need to cope with my shitty internet which for some reason its giving me really bad ping, normally 2-3 times higher than the rest :(......I keep getting stucked on "sprint" mode.

Yea I tried to have a few games of S&D just before, first tried the gamersnz or what ever servers and lagged out, then got the same on ICONZ.

But about half an hour before that I was playing fine.

[Bounty Hunter]

..steam still cant pre load:cussing:

[Spork]

Holy fuckin shit, that mission where you are the gunner in the AC-130 Gunship?

It is insane. I swear to God. I love it.

[elemunk]

Yeah they did that well, although I noticed, the first time you play the mission, it's all fuzzy and looks ultra realistic, but if you shoot friendlies, you restart the level and its alot clearer and looks meh.

Definitely one of my fav. levels though, and the level after the credits, very end of it is MINT!

Actually now that I think about it

Your USMC character dieing, and you getting to play as him, as he dies was very original and brilliant, loved the ending too, BOOM NINJA HEADSHIT MOFO

[chrispchikin]

Anyone completed it on veteran (inlcuding mile high club)?

[elemunk]

Yea that was the first thing I chose, thats second to hardest right?

finished all levels on vet, cbf playing the hardest mode, unless veteran is the hardest mode.

There is one level that was just silly, sniping level at the end whilst waiting for a chopper.

I literally had to resort to hiding in a shed not shooting for the entire time as there was NO way i could stay alive >.<

[Spork]

Yea Veteran is the hardest level.

I'm going on Hard or what ever the second hardest level is.

Still fairly hard to survive.

[Randomized]

There is one level that was just silly, sniping level at the end whilst waiting for a chopper.

I literally had to resort to hiding in a shed not shooting for the entire time as there was NO way i could stay alive >.<

I hid out by the concrete barrier closest to the hill, waited for the choppers to come and drop off more soldiers, sniped them while they were about to grab the ropes to descend, then just did random sniping shots at the other soldiers. I also layed claymores around the cars and c4'd the ferris wheel. They didn't bother to come near me as behind the barrier is a radioactive zone but still took a few shots at me. That part was easy, the hardest part was carrying your injured mate to the rescue copter

[Bounty Hunter]

for fuck sake, steam still hasnt even registered my credit card details! so i cant install or preload, and i bet the cunts have taken my money at their end.

and im reading through the steam forums at all the problems people are having...

Just find 20 pieces of intelligence and activate the slow-mo. Makes sniping 50x easier and the game just seems so much more brutal and addictive.Makes a sticky situation just that tad easier to get out of.

[Bounty Hunter]

single player is brilliant, just like other CODs

awesome story, awesome story telling, awesome cinematography, awesome sound track, awesome amounts of epic win.

[9th.PirateJafa]

There is one level that was just silly, sniping level at the end whilst waiting for a chopper.

Took me something stupid like three hours to finish that last part on max difficulty.

I wasn't smart like Far Q or Tiddles, I kept trying to fight my way through it - eventually managed it with complicated claymore/C4 layouts and copious quantities of spam.

But I always play CoD through on max difficulty first - it's more fun than playing it through on max the second time 'round. :)

Either that or I'm just a masochist

[klol]

I play it through on 2nd hardest. That one where you wait for the chopper is an awesome level, I chucked claymores next to all the cars and shit, and set up some c4 lines lol. After I shot one and the dogs took them on, they started running in groups through the gaps near the cars and set off the claymores and the cars. Then the 2nd and 3rd wave came and I set off the C4 at their feet haha.


single player is brilliant, just like other CODs

Don't think I've played any better games with single player, maybe the Metal Gear games, but even they don't really come close.

Was that the one at the fair/ theme park type thing?

I just did that one on the second hardest level, was fairly insane but the only things that almost got me where the dogs. I hid behind the dodgem car platform and just killed anyone who came close.

FUCK THSI GAME IS BULLSHIT.

I fuckin swear to god the mission where you have to get back down the hill is impossible, I've tried it a hundred times and have faield every time. My last attempt I was so close but got fuckin killed. FFS

[Bounty Hunter]

the ghillie suit one? in chenobyl?

Act 2, All ghillied up and 1 shot 1 kill....those levels are fantastic...no really, the story telling, the presentation was amazing

right from hiding in the grass deciding to take a shot, owning the guys dumping bodies without anyone noticing, from lying in the grass from the battalion of enemies to watching the flag for the wind direction, to shooting down helicopters, to carrying macmillian on your back, TO THE LAST STAND!

when macmillian got hit i was all "NOOO! I'LL CARRY YOU MENTOR!"

I just finished it too, the last levels got annoying in the hall ways, having guys shooting at you from 3 different angles, took me like 5 goes to work out where to stand to reduce their FOV

oh and when you die as the american....that explosion was awesome...but i was so sad when i died...

I'm kinda gutted there was only like 6 hours of gameplay in there...

[Deviant]

lol i am only up too the level after the sniper one you talkin about. i do like 2 levels each day. that sniper one was cool. i took a shot in the wind and i curved and shot one of the nearby soldiers in the nuts...i was like woops but lol.

[Bounty Hunter]

oh and the AC-130 was simply amazing...

[Spork]

oh and the AC-130 was simply amazing...

Yea I still play it heaps just because it is so extremely insane, if you didn't know any better and saw a video of that on Youtube you could almost say it was real life.
