There a couple of things extra in COD you can't do in CSS with your character. You can crouch and also go prone in COD. You can lean to the left and right to look around corners. The most important thing is looking down the sights of your gun when shooting which also sort of zooms in also. This is where CSS and COD differ greatly. It's almost always necessary to look down your sights when shooting from a distance to reduce spray. It takes a while to get used to if you've never had to do it in other games. There is also a melee attack with any gun. It's like knifing in CSS but you don't have to switch weapons just press a button or key. To throw grenades is the same. Just assign a button or key without having to switch first.

Edit: Just wanted to add that this game is getting huge online. As I type this there is over 30000 people playing COD 4 online on the PC version.

My bro just got COD4 and I haven't played it but it looks awesome! I have doubts it would run on my computer though, is it a hog?

I haven't tried TF2 because I am still addicted to CS: Source. Can't get enough.

But back to COD4: how hard is this game? Ie/ if I like arcade style like CSS will I find it hard to adjust to the controls?

Try the demo. Thats usually how you can tell if it runs well.

I "acquired" COD4 yesterday...i'm mainly a SP gamer, so I really couldn't justify spending $50 for 6 hours of gameplay, but i'm pretty impressed. The game if fun and a lot more open ended than I thought it would be. It's still pretty narrow, but you have a few options on how you want to fight.

The AC-130 level is unreal. Kind of shows how desensitized we are toward that sort of thing, and it seemed a little disturbing to me to be shooting the little white dots on the ground, but it was freaking cool.

I'm doing the sniper mission right now. Probably finish up tonight. Fun little game.

Heres my stats:
In 16 hours and 25 minutes of online play I have 31802 points. 1553 kills and 946 deaths a 1.64 k/d ratio. My best streak is 17 and my accuracy is 20.28% Level 41.
I can see myself playing this game for a good year or two as the multiplayer is so diverse and if you get bored of something theres another great gametype to play.
In my mind this is definatly game of the year material.

Yeah there is so many game modes and they differ a ton from mode to mode. I still prefer team death match and free for all.

I-Hate-Hulse · 11-25-2007, 07:22 PM

This game is sick. Best descriptor I can think of is that it's like playing Blackhawk Down. Fast, intense, and a ton of fun. Great graphics, and sound - I've been banished to headphones by the g/f. This here is why I've abandoned my Wii and it's genre of kid friendly games.

SarichFan · 11-25-2007, 08:30 PM

I LOVE this game, so damn much

Canuck-Hater · 11-25-2007, 08:42 PM

This game is sick! the most in depth Multiplayer I have ever seen!

Any of you guys play on XBOX live? I am always looking for people that I know to play with. Neeper78 is my xbox live screen name.

There's a little CP xboxlive community. You all can add me. "Iggy Snipes" is my tag.

Sadly I don't game MP. Too many 14 yr old kids who game 8 hours a day to womp my arse.

I know a group of old fellers who play this game... I'm talking fellers who are nearly as old as cheese. The scary part is, these guys can beat the pants of them 14 yr old kids.... thats because they are retired and play the darn game 12 hours a day.

So that's you. haha... You're on my friends list. I'm EJ20WRX on Live.

This is an absolutely fantastic game. I don't care if the SP is short, every single moment of it is top notch. Anybody with reservations about the length of the single player is seriously going to be missing out on one of the best games ever if they don't pick it up.

There is?? Where?

I'll add you tonight!

RW99 · 11-28-2007, 10:20 PM

You added me, then deleted me days later (Lags in Banff). Never got a chance to play with you

I wouldn't call it one of the best games ever. It's definitely the best shooter out this year though (aside from Orange Box, but it's hard to beat 5 games).

The SP is top notch, but it's ridiculously short. Not to mention that it's pretty much all scripted so the replay value is pretty low as well.

I haven't got to MP yet since I just got the game on Sunday and beat the SP last night, but if you're playing for SP alone it could be tough to justify spending $50+ on a game you'll play for 6 hours.

BlAcKNoVa · 11-29-2007, 10:09 AM

I'm still playing it a lot. My GT is NovataK

Yeah, you're right I misspoke. I meant to say 'one of the best games in the genre'. For a FPS it is an excellent game, albeit a short experience in the single player mode. I've played the MP some more and, even though I'm getting my ass kicked, it's lot's of fun and adds considerable value to the package.
