Call Of Duty 4:Modern Warefare.

Anyone else play this?

 

Well I'm not sure if COD4 actually qualifies as a %100 sim but it still has some very unique features that's well worth checking out, that is if you like Military first person shooters.

 

The weapons are modeled very well in fact IMO no other game comes close in the visual department and the sound and feel of firing them are unmatched too, even better than AA or ArmA. But in terms of general weapons physics ie ballistic, aiming etc? Well it's good enough ;) but the most amazing thing about all of this is how good the frame rates are with all the eye candy. I mean its one of the best looking games I've played and my less than medium PC's FPS tops out at the limit of 91 all the time, even online in rooms of 50 people and thats with constant air strikes, helicopters etc.

 

Now online is the greatest disappointment for me becasue COD 4 plays out like a complete arcade game and I mean it puts the "A" in Arcade. In a TDM (team death match) room of 50 players COD 4 makes Quake look like a slow considered tactical sim and even in the smaller rooms arcade type play is the norm. This isn't a problem on the whole but the single player campaign is really short so you'll no doubt want to go online and check things out but unfortunately COD 4 isn't made for the sim market. I was surprised at that to be honest seeing as they wheel around that retired military guy who says how realistic everything is but it's still well worth playing even if you only play it in single player mode or maybe you like Quake style shootem ups and if that's the case then you'll be in FPS heaven :).

 

BTW anyone know where the Official forums for COD 4 are? You goto the site and it's not listed.. :doh:

I played CoD4 and was amazed how it can look in relations to hardware requirements. I played on old 7300GT, AMD 300+, 1GB RAM in 1680x1050 and it looks sweet on medium and really fast that I could smooth play :D Last game which I remember was so well done was Half-Life 2 series. Really greetings to Valve and Cod4 programists for its really good job with its game engines.

 

I don't play CoD4 multiplayer - it is simple tho worst game part. Think Single player is much more worth. Multiplayer is misunderstanding - too arcade style, ect.

Slightly OT:

 

You guys would wonder how slow / "campy" Quake is. Seriously - Quake is slower than CS, Cod 4 etc. On a competitve level of course.

Single player CoD4 is awesome but i dont like the mp,to much "everybody for himself"

 

The ones who like multi-player first-person shooters should have a look at "AMERICA'S ARMY: SPECIAL FORCES (OVERMATCH) V2.8.3.1" and what is really interesting.................its free,go to http://americasarmy.com/downloads/ just download and voila................

 

 

My 2 cents...........
