Call of Duty 4

[Ó Flannagáin]

Picked this up today for the ps3. Flipping awesome! If you have it shoot me a friend invite: seeFresh

Hell, shoot me a friend invite if you have a ps3

Yep my copy arrives today for 360...so excited.

 

[Ó Flannagáin]

THat's what I'm afraid everyone's gonna say. Where's the ps3 love? I could've got the 360 one, but with rumble controller coming to ps3 this season, I'd rather not buy it for a machine that's probably gonna break soon. My 360's started the old "freeze randomly" routine again that happened before my last one died.

 

[Jester369]

I'm PS3, but no COD4... yet

 

[kornkob]

COD4 is a pretty impressive game. Wait till you see the c130 spectre mission. Pretty sweet stuff.


Have to be honest: there are rumblings in game development communities that PS3's lackluster sales performance and extra difficulties to develop for might cause a shift in focus that results in the 360 and Wii sku's being our primary focus.

I personally own neither a 360 or a PS3-- I own a Wii-- but I don't really use it. I'm a PC gamer.


/full disclosure: I work for Activision-- but not for the COD dev team.

Seems to be plenty of people on the ps3 version,s o it's keeping me busy.


Hey, Kornkob, I own a wii too and I never play. No flipping games! i just got metroid and don't really like it that much. I have Mario reserved and suspect that'll be the first game I truly enjoy on the system. And I've owned it since launch!! (Zelda was horrible, didn't finish it)

 

[aekdbbop]

this is why I am getting a 360 after christmas..

Any tips on which version to buy? and which is the best deal (on the console)

Just so happens that I am selling my entire 360 system, games, controllers, wireless headset, and carrying bag.
Let me know if you are interested.

selling to fund my beer brewing, plus I want to spend more time with the family, and not yelling at the TV...LOL

... and extra difficulties to develop for ...

All these whiney programmers are annoying. The talented programmers realize the potential of the machine:

Time is money and potential means nothing if the mainstream game developers can't produce quality products for a console. In fact, that means the console will never really meet its full potential.

Bah, there's no way FF XIII could've been done on the 360 and it's going to blow people away. How long have they been working on it? years.. I don't have the exact number, but it's a lot. And, it's not planned to come out til the end of next year. That game is going to be a money maker.

Quality sells... looks at all the BS wii games that got throw on shelves in no time. They aren't selling at all. Yea, wii's are selling, but the games are doing pooooorly. Quality is money... time is just a factor.

The mainstream producers worth a damn are putting out good games. Like the guys working on Kane & Lynch, the guys at insomniac, the guys at square enix, the guys at incognito, and on and on.

How does it compare to BF2

BF2? Not sure.. is that battlefield 2? Is that a strategy game for FPS?

 

[Brakeman_Brewing]

from what ive seen its BF2 on super steroids, the graphics/terrain and physics engines are amazing.


ive only SEEN it though

the only console I have is original NES....:cross:

PS3 may not get the Halo3 contract, but so what? Personally, I'm gonna vomit if they release another first person shooter. It's been done before. I do like playing online shooters, but that too gets old. IMHO, you can't beat a well done RPG. You get LOTS of gameplay for your $$$, and it's like reading a novel...the level of immersion is that good. I can't wait for FFXIII!

Battlefield 2, yes. First person.

 

[John Beere]

Sorry, but NOTHING compares to BF2...

 

[John Beere]

I played the COD4 and Crysis demos, both on the PC, and while they both were really good - they both feel arcade-y compared to BF2. I'm sure I'll end up getting both and playing them for their single player campaigns but I doubt I'll play much multiplayer...

 

[Brakeman_Brewing]

Sorry, but NOTHING compares to BF2...

nothing compares to Contra

 

[John Beere]

nothing compares to Contra

true dat

 

[ScubaSteve]

Okay, okay....Contra's tight!

 

[Brakeman_Brewing]

didnt mean to hijack the thread with AWESOME 80's NES games.............but COD4 is still sweet.

 

[Ó Flannagáin]

Battlefield 2, yes. First person.

I've never played it, but I've heard people ravvving about it. It's PC only? My computer sucks for gaming, planning on upgrading soon.

 

[Ó Flannagáin]

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A

 

[Warped04]

How does it compare to BF2

My buddy told me it's like they took the best from Enemy Territory, BF2, and COD and made it one bada$$ game. I haven't gotten to play yet.

 

[Ó Flannagáin]

I've been playing CoD 4 nonstop now. It's single player ... eh, the multiplayer though, is awesome. I can't get enough of it. I just got halo 3 as well, but don't see playing it anytime soon.
