Call of Duty 4 - Xbox 360/Playstation 3

[Eight Rooks]

Paid full price for the CE myself and I've neither touched the multiplayer, nor tried anything above Normal (although of course I'm not saying I won't ). I'm still very, very happy with it. Short, yes, wilfully old school, yes, but incredible. Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect don't measure up to this.

This is easily the game of the year, I played it non-stop on the 360 and since I kicked that thing out of the window on the Ps3. I actually prefer the sixaxis controller, its much better when getting used to (calling airstrikes with D-pad also).

The single player mode is easily worth it too. To me, it beat Bioshock and Halo 3 hands down. This game is full of F-- No! moments. Start on Hardened, or Veteran if you are a masochist and the game time will get to the 10 hour mark.

New Free-for-All changes...
* Map Added to Rotation: Showdown - now available in map rotation.
* Score Limit Change: 100 Points

Hate this, its crap now. Most games are over in about 5 minutes, maybe less. Put it back how it was IW!

Yep, you've ruined it. Bye COD4, it was good while it lasted. if you put it back how it was, I'll come back. In the meantime, my fav gamemode in it is utter ****. Pitiful, as it was one of the best online games this year.

Has anyone tried the new Mercenary Team Deathmatch? It says "no parties". Does that mean no parties can select it, or that parties will be split up during the match for balancing purposes?

They have decreased the amount of points required to win a match. It used to be 150 points, which over 10 minutes allocated time, rarely got achieved unless you where playing against a super-player. So you got a good game at 10 minutes a piece.

Now its 100 points, which means some matches last about 5-6 minutes in length, and its very unsatisfying. I played a round yesterday and some guy got 100, the 2nd place person only got 35 and so-on. 5 minutes is not a long time to be playing to be honest, you spend about 2 minutes+ in the lobby waiting to get started.

[Rossco]

Ah I see, well that is a bit **** isn't it.


and Charles, the Merc TD is for single players only, so clans and parties can't join and kick the arse out of 6 single players as they normally would, its just all randoms vs all randoms.

[charlesr]

Shame. Would have been cool if you could fight against your own party members and randoms

From IW's forum details, I read it that no parties could join. It's solely for individuals to team up without going against clans or parties.

[Rossco]

I prefer it, was doing it today when I would normally choose just team deathmatch. Seemed different and better the way people were playing.

And charles, it wouldn't really work to let you play against your mates in ranked matches, level up ahoy!!! I'll headshot you if you headshot me, etc etc!

Just had to pop into this thread to say wooohooo 1000/1000 definately one of the most satisfying ones I've ever done.

Available for download for the PC apparently, hopefully it'll be added as DLC for the other versions as well.

Hello? I'm not sure if I'm in the right place? I was told there was a party but I'm a bit late...

Got this as a Xmas present and it's just as well I'd been staying away from all the info and this thread because otherwise I don't think I would have been able to wait.

I'm only up to the War Pig mission but I don't think I've ever been sucked in to a game as fast as CoD4 has managed. Talk about an amazing opening

Just amazing.

I'm led to believe it keeps getting better too and I really can't wait to play the rest of it.

[Rossco]

Ya man, its awesome and never lets down one bit til the end!

And then there's online mode which is just sublime, and most of us have put an average of over a days play into it already!
