CoD 4.. Worth buying ?

Hello there..I'm waiting for my copy of CoD 4 (BO) and the more I read about it .. the more I wonder if I'll make a good move.I already have TF2 which is a great MP FPS.. I like it a lot.. But I really enjoyed games like BF 2142 and their war feeling.. Which I don't really get with TF2.And then I still hear echoes of BF2 (Which I never really tried for real..). Seems like a lot of people is still playing this game.So.. the question is : Is CoD 4 is really the best online war simulation FPS out there right now ?CoD 4.. Worth buying ?
Is it is worth buying because is an awesome game, both single and multiplayer are very goodCoD 4.. Worth buying ?
Totally awesome multiplayer. best in series and that says ALOT, single player im not so happy with, but multi is worth it.

If you want to play some time just add kaosswede to your friends list on xfire or message me.Personally i love TF2 soooo much but cod4 and various other games have influenced me and my friends to kind of drift from it...and Bf2 is struggling to stay alive kind of personally i love Digital Illusions C.E. but hey i love cod4 more than BF2
Thanks for the boost of confidence guys.. I'll definitly get the game now :) I feel better now

[QUOTE=''TheWalrusKing'']Totally awesome multiplayer. best in series and that says ALOT, single player im not so happy with, but multi is worth it.[/QUOTE] Best in the series for multiplayer?? i dont know about that, i do agree its good, much better than CoD2, but i dont think its better than CoD:UO. Granted it does have some nice innovative features, but it just doesnt have the same skill lvl as UO. I still get the feeling that they noobed up the game a bit.
i for one regret buying it and would have preferred buying it for 20 dollars or less
Yes, the single and multiplayer modes are very well done up, but the multiplayer will have you glued to your seat, ranking up, unlocking new stuff.
haven't played the multiplayer that much, but the singleplayer campaign is awesome!
It sucks. Seriously, one of the worst examples of hype and fanboyism. The single player campaign is typical COD fare. Criminally short, completely linear, and so heavily scripted that there's zero replay value. The gameplay is farcically bad. Maps are tiny little rat mazes that you wander through, stopping only to blaze away at the endlessly spawning pop-up enemies. You supposedly have squadmates, but you can't interact with them in anyway whatsoever. They're just pointless eye candy, who follow you around from checkpoint to checkpoint. The environment is no better. There's zero interactivity. No destructable terrain, no way to move objects. Hell, you can't even open a door or climb through a window. Then there's the tired old artifical map boundaries consisting of kevlar hedges or the world's longest apartment building with no doors or windows. (not that it'd matter as things like doorknobs are too complex for your bel-end on screen avatar to comprehend).Ballistics are right out of a G.I. Joe cartoon with a liberal sprinkling of the A-Team thrown in. Everyone seems to be able to absorb lethal amounts of punishment with no ill effects. You character can take multiple rounds to the gut and all he needs to do is walk around the corner, take a few deep breaths and suck it up and he's fine. Weapon ranges are pathetically short and there's no consisency. On one level, you're taksed with firing off the world's supply of 40mm grenades from a pintle mounted Mk 19 grenade launcher in a helicopter. For some reason, grenades fired from this helicopter have the ability to destroy BMP-2 armoured personnel carriers. Later in the game, you might choose to arm yourself with an assault rifle with a 40mm grenade launcher attachment. Same ammo, same grenades but now, completely ineffective against the same BMP-2s.The story is laughable. The US portions were ripped right out of the pages of a 14 year old ADD victim's wet dream. Sticking with their grand tradition of blatant plagiarism, the hacks at IW lifted the SAS portions of the games straight out of the novels by real-life SAS troopers Andy McNab and Chris Ryan. Hell, the little thieves at IW didn't even bother to change the names of the characters. One hopes a lawsuit is in the works.Multi-player is your standard twitch stuff. Small maps, everything at close range, spawn in, whip grenades about at random and be guaranteed kills. The game's crap.
The singleplayer is a little short but it's still a great campaign. Multiplayer is were it's at with COD4. All the usual modes are included, it seems to have more available weapons then most shooters, there are perks, an experience upgrade system. However there does seem to be more campers and spawn killers around on the free for all servers then there was before Christmas.
@ Bogaty--Sounds like COD should've stuck with WWII then?
[QUOTE=''Huskerz09'']@ Bogaty--Sounds like COD should've stuck with WWII then?[/QUOTE]I think he's taking the game a little too seriously.

I think it's a fairly good game. The firefights are fun and hectic, but that gets repetitive after about the fourth one. The game is also very linear and somewhat short.



I can understand everything bogaty is saying, and I can attest that they are all true. Where I differ, however, is that I'm much more forgiving in my opinion on those points.



I don't play multiplayer so I can't give any opinion on that.
COD4 is a great game the single player campain is thrilling and the multiplayer is possibly one of the best since counter strike or even better perhaps.You'll hate the multiplayer at first then after about 2 hours of playing you'll love it and it'll make you think that the story mode is boring which is it compared to the multiplayer.A defant buy just for the multiplayer.......
[QUOTE=''Huskerz09'']@ Bogaty--Sounds like COD should've stuck with WWII then?[/QUOTE]No, I think the whole series is very poor. The subject matter really isn't all that relevant although I personally am more interested in WWII than near future hypothetical stuff. The problem is that, as games, the COD series jsut aren't very good. Sure, they have very good production values and the sound effects are first rate, but the actually gameplay is tragically shallow. It's a lot more like sitting in a train car on one of those crappy amusement park rides like Pirates of the Caribbean or the Haunted House than it is a game. You're really nothing more than a spectator who is being lead down a pre-determined course. At certain points, something jumps out and goes boogety boogety boogety. Might give you a little jump the first time, but you find out that it's the exact same thing in the exact same spot, every time. Clicking the moust button to fire is about all you do. Not much different than clicking the shutter on the camera.I hear people toss around words like ''cinematic'' when describing COD. Well, watching a movie is a passive event. If you want to enjoy something ''cinematic'', go watch a war movie. The COD games just aren't very good. They're a triumph of style with no substance.

No, it's called being unimpressed with a game that's excessively scripted, completely linear and ridiculously short.
[QUOTE=''bogaty'']No, it's called being unimpressed with a game that's excessively scripted, completely linear and ridiculously short.[/QUOTE]basically, you're just complaining that cod games are rail shooters. but to liken a rail shooter to a roller coaster ride is called an exaggeration. there's a whole lot more to it than just watching and clicking on the mouse. and besides, in cod games your characters are soldiers who are supposed to follow orders and go where they're told to go (and they're not supposed to open doors on their own). what's the point of complaining that you're not given freedom in a game like that? that'd be like complaining that you aren't given the freedom to drive outside the oval in nascar racing.
