Hey, anyone get or at least see the trailer for COD4? Looks freaking awesome but it ain't for the PS2. But there is a PC version I'll probably get.

Discuss.

All my friends say it's sick and they won't go back to Halo 3.
Killswitch
It's not that sick, to me anyway. It's not without its charm, but the graphics aren't as good as Halo 3 and personally, i'm tired of games like COD4 that are FPS games centered around real world wars. It has been done to death. Just like there was a WW2 fad, there is now a modern war fad. COD4 just happens to be solid. I like Rainbow 6: Vegas better than COD4, just because the Rainbow 6 series is genuine.

I don't mind modern warfare games, but I'm kinda sick of WW2 games.
Timebandit
Yeah, but MoH: Airborne was fun, and new. It takes like, 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000043950436859034 bullets to kill those über mega Nazi elites. Which was a pain.

MoH, Call of Duty, they're all the same. Same guns, since they're based off of real ones in WWII Times, same enemies, the Nazies, and the same plot, since they're all the same story since they can't make anything up since it really happened. Now games like Halo, Ressistance: Fall of Man, Crysis, Hellgate: London, they all have unique plots and stories. Once you've play one WWII games, you've played them all.

If you're really stupid enough to think that Call of Duty 4 is centered around a real world war, I doubt your opinion really matters.
LucresSerebii
I have no idea what COD4 is about, but I know it's not about a real war. I might get it, but WWII games are kind of boring.

So COD4 isn't about a war on this planet, against other humans that has a root in polotics? I spent all this time thinking that it was a war that could actually happen, I guess I was wrong. <-- sarcasm

I am talking about games that use such common elements of most modern wars as a story. I like the Halo and Gears of War games, because they are different. You are fighting on different planets for the survival whats left of the human race. And the games like R6V that are an entirely new way to play the games that have common story elements. COD4 like many other games is a bit stale, but it is still a very good game.

Who was the enemy in CoD4? I'd hate so see Russia or China, like in some games. It will some effort for them to snap. I did see a Russian MiG-29 fly over in the short TV trailer really quickly. A Russian plane, or a German variant.

I thought that CoD4 was about what might happen if terrorists got a hold of Nuclear weapons.... I think russia and china and russia are both in it. My neighbors dad gots it. The opening level is extremely intense, you are attacking some british boat thing when it gets attacked and you have to escape it when it starts to sink. You probably already saw it. But i luved it. :-))))

Then it does an interactactable vid of the preident of a country being assasinated . LOts o' fun!!!!

WWII games are really different; many different armies and many different theaters make it very replayable...For example, different armies had different weapons. Also, different troops had different weapons (think of the US vs. Japan versus US. vs. Germany). Also, you can do battles from both perspectives (think of the Germans perspective too).

Also, you can think of the different games as different versions of the same game. (By your logic, why buy Halo 2? You have similar weapons and fight similar enemies. Why buy Halo 3? You have similar weapons and similar enemies. )

Right. They're all similar, but different enough to make you want to buy it. And the storyline? In WWII games, the story is not to WIN the war...it's usually disconnected battles, or following the "life" of one soldier in a series of battles.

Hope this clears some things up.

But of course, Halo 2&3 continue the story, and are meant to be played in sequence.

In all my years as resident Klohn of KL Forums, never have I encountered such impertinence and stupidity. Call of Duty 4 has a plotline that is completely fictitious. None of the campaign is based on real life events. The only thing here that's stale is your flabby dick.

I haven't bothered to investigate, but from your style of writing, I'd guess you're one of two people.
Timebandit
Myscrnnm/djbob?
myncknm
Not djbob... that's not his style.
And frankly if it were myscrn I would expect more anger and a much cooler looking display picture.
So I conclude that it's thisoldmage/myusr, who also has a history of doing this type of thing.
Timebandit
Actually, Myscrnnm made and put that as the Klohn image.
myncknm
Hmmm... okay I see how he might think that'd be funny.
LucresSerebii
Nah, I've spoken with myscrnm on WLM recently, and he said he's boycotting KL. biggrin.gif
