Games in Vietnam don't sell.  I'm getting this to put on my shelf until the XBox comes back from the shop.   :(

If you've never played HL2, I'd say go with the Orange Box. Plus, I feel the amount of people playing TF2 on 360 is going to fall off very quickly. COD4 is going to be played until the next COD comes out.

I'm hoping that the higher level perks and weapons are more superfluous than anything.  The beta had all of the really important stuff available within the first few levels and had a nice balance that I would hate to see disturbed by some distinguished mentally-challenged high level perks.

Like RoboJ said, unless they really fuck up the top tier levels, it works out pretty well. You get the guns, upgrades, and perks you need within a fairly short amount of playtime.

I hope so, but in the end I guess it won't matter since I see myself playing this game for a long time anyway. There doesn't seem to be another FPS coming out for a while.

I'm speaking from experience in the beta, dude. :P

BTW, once you hit level 65, you can trade in your rank for some insignia or some crap and start all over again. Seems kinda stupid.

...I'll probably do it multiple times.

Title: Re: Call of Motherfucking Duty 4
Post by: CajoleJuice on November 06, 2007, 02:15:35 AM
There was a MASSIVE thread on GAF about it. You had to sign up on charlieoscardelta.com. It was only a few weeks, and ended almost a month ago. It was glorious. It was incredibly polished for a beta. It was more like a multiplayer demo.
Title: Re: Call of Motherfucking Duty 4
Post by: bork on November 06, 2007, 02:33:00 AM
Why the hell WASN'T there a demo?  ???

Anyway, about the ranking system.  I was listening to the 1up Podcast from the week before last, and they were talking about it: The cap is at level 55, and you then have the option to gain a unique insignia next to your name and start all over, but this can only be done up to five times.  Also when you start over, you give up everything you have earned, so the 1up guys were thinking that a lot of people probably won't bother unless they're goaded into doing so by other gamers who say they lack the skill to do it all over again blah blah blah.  Anyway, if you cap at the fifth insignia, you then get all your weapons retextured to be made of gold.  That's it.

I don't see many people bothering...it really is for the hardcore.

Too bad there's no online co-op in this game. Halo 3 sort of spoiled me in that regard. :(

Yeah, this game really screams for on (or off) line co-op.

Single player so far:

PROS

- It's very pretty, smoke and explosions are outstanding
- There's a lot going on.  This game really moves shit right along.
- Plot and characters seem interesting, glad IW finally decided to include a storyline with their games
- Controls are very smooth, and you can adjust the sensitivity to insane levels
- weapons are neat and feel powerful
- I like how enemies you shot but didn't kill try to crawl away
- Friendly AI seems better, less intrusive than in past COD games.  They're actually a little too good at times, clearing out rooms before I even get there.

CONS

- Grenade spamming.  See, it's realistic, because every soldier in the world carries at least 50 or 60 grenades with them at all times.
- Endless spawning until you cross the "threshold" which makes it stop.  That shit is old and ragged.
- Sometimes the direction you're supposed to be heading isn't made clear enough
- Enemies still focus almost entirely on you.
- Other than the pretty effects and the modern weapons/setting, it's the same COD game you've played 3 times before

I haven't played multiplayer yet.

Also, I absolutely agree with keeping acheivements offline only. I do however think they should introduce no-point acheivements for multiplayer.

NO - those are HORRIBLE, the community HATES those more than glitched achievements even

Those affect game completion

Plus, grenade spamming.  I can't recall a five-minute stretch so far where I wasn't seeing that grenade indicator.

Plus, can't see your enemies very well, ever.  Very frustrating in the areas where it's too dark to make anything out, yet still too light to use your night goggles.  Fuck realism, let me see who I'm shooting at.

Plus, I just really started playing today at lunch, and a little just now, and I get the feeling I am already 1/3 of the way through it. More like Call of Shorty.

It's a very strong arcadey, multiplayer fps.  even in the beginning levels, the equipment/perks really can help.  I've only played the beta but I suggest doing a few matches as pre-made classes that have weapons/perks that fit the roles, and then make your own classes with your favorite weapons.  if you like fps games and MP then you'll like it.  only bad thing is that it's becoming a yearly franchise so you'll probably have to buy it again next year for MP.  Even in the beta which had a level cap I was addicted as fuck.

Maf, it's nothing like R6.  You have about the same health, but it's more about advancing through the map then camping.

Infinite spawns in the SP is garbage. I never know whether or not I should advance. I've discovered a new strategy, which is SPRINT across the battlefield to trigger the checkpoint, and then die, and then come back, and then fight by picking people off, which is my halo strategy.

Still, the MP!!!! OMG!!!!

I think the arcade mode will be more fun, since it gives you more of a reason to actually kill all the enemies and avoid sprinting to the checkpoints.  Gotta get those high scores!

I just played a couple matches. Got to level 5 then quit. When creating a class, what weapon would you guys recommend starting out with?

Currently, I'm using the default one (M16?).

Can you guys post here before you play? I want to get in some games.

Btw, HOLY SHIT. GOTY and i've only played a few matches  :lol

Title: Re: Call of Motherfucking Duty 4
Post by: CajoleJuice on November 08, 2007, 10:43:39 PM
Told you, dude.

The M16 is definitely the best gun to start out with. When you unlock the AK47, I'd use that...and then use the M4 when you unlock that. A lot of people like the MP5, too. Maybe try that out. I don't even know if that's one of the guns you start out with or if you need to unlock it.

If there's any ONE thing that need to be fixed on COD4 mp, it's martyrdom.  It wasn't an issue in the beta because it wasn't active until the last week and then it wasn't used often, but in the retail version it seems like EVERYONE has martyrdom.  I can't stab anyone without hearing a grenade bounce at my feet.  I can't engage anyone short range without having to run like a motherfucker as soon as I take them down.  On close-quarter maps and in gametypes with a larger numbers of players, like Ground War, it's so frequent that I don't feel I'm out-of-line considering it a form of grenade spam.

What I would like to see happen is have martyrdom nerfed to where you're only dropping grenades under the conditions that would cause you to go into Last Stand.  That is, no headshots, no explosion deaths, and no stabbings.  I don't think that's unreasonable.  As it stands, you ALWAYS drop one.  How are you gonna pull the pin when you have a bullet in your brain?
Title: Re: Call of Motherfucking Duty 4
Post by: CajoleJuice on November 09, 2007, 05:32:50 PM
That makes sense. I'm using Martyrdom because I get so many kills with it. :lol

A gripe from me: The sniping has definitely been nerfed since the beta. And Iron Lungs is completely fucking broken. It's almost impossible to hit anyone with that perk activated.

I'm not even sure I want to complete the single player mode; the quest is very thrilling and admirably set up from a cinematic point of view, but it's the exact same heavily scripted gameplay since the original COD. It doesn't even look that improved over Call of Duty 2 as far as graphics go. Now that I know why the game looks so blurry it's another huge turn-off.

At some point, you want something else from your FPSes than the same "watch some in-engine dialogue with your fellow soldiers and then get from point A to point B in a chaotic warzone by killing every bad guy in sight and pulling a few switches once in a while" ultra-linear gameplay over and over again for four titles in a row, only with arabic enemies and modern weaponry in this iteration. Your average FPS offers far more freedom. The concept that made every publication that reviewed PC games herald Call of Duty as the game of the year is extremely tired now, in spite of this game being a really great effort.

Sorry but I'm going to give my gaming time to the other promising FPSes set to be released this year, such as Crysis, Unreal Tournament III and Haze. The first one will offer the greatest real-time gaming graphics ever available to consumers, the second one will refine arcade FPS deathmatch further more and offer a beefier single player mode than the past iterations, and finally I look forward the latter because Free Radical seems set to offer a quality, thought-provoking storyline, and a premise that will be as original as that of Second Sight, something that is very rare in this genre.

As far as prominent FPS games go I think that Blacksite: Area 51 is also going to be released soon, but based on the demo it looked like a very generic sci-fi Rainbow Six clone.

please can someone invite Dark10 over - he's just been unfairly treated by a GAF mod community that is rapidly selling its ass to Sony.

Seriously, this for me is it - they've lost the plot and the exodus is going to happen.


You know, you can't say that the textures look worse because according to the dev, they don't even though... they do... (shrug) 

At the rate things are going, I really wouldn't be surprised if GAF became the official playstation forum.  Wasn't Dark10x known as a Sony fanboy?  I guess the SDF demands 100% blind loyalty. 

Yea, there's so many games with these lower resolutions that don't even hit 60fps. At least they did. It does seem people with the PS3 version are having a lot more trouble with online, though.

It's not even the developers' fault.  Blame MS for launching too early so they couldn't have more ram.  Blame Sony for putting all the budget into Blu-ray so that they could only afford a budget GPU.

Title: Re: Call of Motherfucking Duty 4
Post by: Robo on November 12, 2007, 12:23:45 PM
M4 is sort of the reason I want to try something different.  I've been losing almost every single close encounter I'm involved in with it, which I can only attribute to the low damage and other people using something considerably more powerful or with a faster fire rate.  And latency, but I don't want to bore anyone with my replay woes.  Lately, the most success I've been having is with the MP5, but that doesn't cut it for me on certain maps that require something with a bit more range.

I'm gonna start dropping out of any game where I'm not at 4 bars.  I think most of my problem is latency and the godawful replays I'm seeing back up that theory.

Replays are a mixed blessing.  Sure, I like to know where the guy that killed me was camping, but I don't like to see how some jackass threw a grenade straight up and it just so happened to come down and explode in my face.  And I don't like seeing how in spite of getting the jump on someone and firing first, the replay will show me not firing at all.  The worst are the magic bullet sniper kills that are three feet off target but manage to rake in a headshot.  I'm gonna stop watching them.  :-\

you should keep watching replays, it tells you how stupid is your enemy.

I usually "knife" the snipers after they kill me, that's because i saw where does they camp all the time through replays.

I just played my first match of Team Hardcore in a long time...basically since I first unlocked it. 25 and 3 with a 21 kill streak. And at the end, I was rewarded with a Deagle. Fucking awesome.
