The sequel to Call of Duty 4
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/re...-warfare/49655 This game (at least from the trailer perspective) looks quite impressive. |

CoD4 was great... was 5 any good?
I'm looking forward to this only because the first play campaign for CoD4 was amazing! |

Is COD4 worth getting for SP only? I don't care for console games online and until I upgrade I damned sure won't be getting COD for the PC.

Wait... so Call of Duty 5 is not the sequel to Call of Duty 4?
Yeah that makes sense. I'll just blame EA, whether or not they are involved with CoD at all (I think they are). It's the most logical action. |

If you are at all interested in the multiplayer (I never was), you should definitely pick it up. If you want a great single player campaign, go for it... but you might want to wait till you can find a good sale price Playing the single player through did encourage me to play some multiplayer, but the super-realistic play never was much fun for me in multiplayer. Too many CS fanboys... |

COD4 was the biggest waste of money I've ever spent. Remember back in the day when games actually had tons of content? Call of Duty 4's singleplayer wasn't all that great (except for the Pripyat/Chernobyl bit, which was blatantly thrown in for marketing – though, I enjoyed the part where you sneak past enemies while literally being right below/behind them.) I must have spent an hour total on the single player, and I was taking my time to enjoy the visuals and fuck about with the AI. Even on Veteran, it's not that difficult, considering the enemies are so static. They don't even flank you. They just sit on the same roof or in the same area, occasionally rushing out, firing at you, then jumping back in to cover. Sure, you have to manage to hit them without getting hit two times (You're dead if you do) but that's not hard when they're not mobile.
The multiplayer is an abomination. When did an SMG that fired the 5.45x39 outpower an assault rifle that fired the 7.62x39? This is with default stats and no perks; It even outpowers some of the lower end sniper rifles. Which, sniper rifles and shotguns.. are complete bullshit. Too bad to dominate at close range and/or long range with the AK or M4? Grab the Shotgun and/or Sniper Rifle, respectively. Hell, you can even overpower them more with perks. Let's not forget the maps are hell. They're so chalked with over-detail that it's hard to spot anyone with your first-person view, which explains why they added UAV. The Helicopter is cheap as fuck, as if airstrikes on marked targets on a UAV-lit map wasn't enough. Let's not forget the fanbase, too. Rambling twelve year old kids who overestimate themselves, and drooling middle-aged men who were rejected from every branch of the military, so they live out their fantasy in a video game. Absolutely terrible video game. I could have spent that $40.00 on something better. All graphics, no gameplay. (The graphics are a plus. The magazine throw when you reload an AK looks absolutely bad ass, the maps - while cluttered - look absolutely stunning. That's all COD4 is, really, a presentation of the graphical capability of the engine its run off of. People don't build games anymore, today, they build video game engines and then release absolute shit to demonstrate them.) NOTE: What's with all of these games on new, amazing graphically-intense engines not including some sort of a gore system? Doesn't have to be crazy, but when I shoot someone at point blank range in the face with a sniper rifle, I shouldn't be able to note his facial features when I examine his ragdoll. A gore system might overpower sniper rifles, but .. just don't make them blow off limbs unless the person is near death anyway. There. Problem solved. No crawling around with one leg. Goddammit.

I don't hate every game. It's just a coincidence that most of the shit coming out today is absolutely ... well, shit. The last enjoyable game I played was Duke Nukem 3D, about a month ago, and that was released in 1996.

Exactly what I'm thinking nowadays. All these newer games are repeating the same shit of other games, ie, they are horrible. Old games are better.

No. Old games that stand the test of time are better. You tend to think that older things are better because the good things have outlasted the crap. Go to any store that still sells old Sega/SNES games. You'll find 1 good game for every 15-20 shitty ones, easily.

Also, Activision is the publisher of the CoD franchise, not EA; but I don't see why we can't bitch about EA for the hell of it. |

Be mean if you want, but I am a little dumb. Explain to me what 'stand the test of time' means. How long it lasts before the likeness for it wears off? Enlighten me. |

I guess he means that only the games which don't really get old over the time deserve to be worshipped

It's kind of like how you only hear the decent music from a few decades ago because all of the crap has been filtered out. You only like the good old games because that's all that anyone ever talks about, and you never had to wade through shitty games like Bebe's Kids. |
