I would love to see the Call of Duty developers do a game based around the landing on Normandy beach on D-Day, the only game i've seen do that is the utter piece of shit series Medal of Honor.

And really CoD 4 should be called CoD 3 b/c CoD 3 was made so quick and for nex gen consoles only.

I guess it's about time they abandoned the WWII genre and moved on, so let's see what they do next.

COD2 had some parts of it, the landing, but not to the whole...impossiblity of MOHAA.

I agree it would be sweet.

Call of Duty's campaign system, essentially playing through a number of small individual and independent scenarios stacked back to back, has been ditched, instead you have two storylines, one played from viewpoint of an SAS trooper and the other a member of US elite fighting force Force Recon, that interweave, with both plots coming together in a climax on Russian soil.

Sounds like the whole HL 1/ Opposing Force / Blue Shift experience...

I never finished any CoD game.. mainly b/c I was playing so many damn games at once, but I asked friends that finished them for possible Normandy content and they said negatory. on a side note I did buy the CoD Warchest on Steam a few months ago.... I should prob actually play them..., Also.. I am actually disappointed with CoD 2's multiplayer.. I seem to stick with DoD:Source for my WWII online gaming needs.


I can't describe how much I despise the entire MoH series, I think it's horrible garbage, content and programming wise.

Medal of Honor no one really plays anymore. COD4 is interesting however I hope it will not be such a failure, if they do it right. The console technology is not that different from that of a computer which kinda makes me want to kill the programmers that make a game for consoles only. It should be the other way around.

I still play medal of honor :oops: .... That is because the demo still has about 20 servers up and it can be fun at times :p

I will probably get COD4 if my pc can run it....

It would be nice if we had enough money or we could collect enough money to host a server with a game on it for us WSGFers :D

Yeah, CoD2 did an almost D-Day invasion, but it was the reinforcements or something, not the main force, and climbed the cliffs at the back end. Still an awesome level in an awesome game though.

I kind of wish this was a Vietnam game, or even an Iraq game... keep it non-fiction... but I'll still play and love the Infinity Ward goodness.

CoD 2 did D-Day (just beat it on veteran :D ) but it was Pont-Du-Hoc, not Omaha.

Bah, I just started playing Titan Quest but now you guys have me wanting to install the Call of Duty Warchest and actually finish the games.

Had to do an update on this with the recent trailer, it looks awesome as i love to snipe. Graphics are very impressive and the camouflage actually looks like it works, which is shocking.

Check it out http://www.gametrailers.com/player/23395.html

Make sure you have a look at the main game page at gametrailers.com as well, as there are plenty new multiplayer vids.

Rumours suggest Call of Duty 4 will release on November 9 on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Activision has yet to confirm a date however, just repeating "winter".

Rejoice PC Gamers!

A PC demo for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare will be available this Thursday at 09:00AM PST

I'm guessing it's singleplayer though rather than multiplayer. Time to see if it's going to be a useless console port or not. I have faith in you Infinity Ward!

I'm gonna resurrect this thread... because I just reached mission 12 in CoD4:MW.

All I have to say is this:

Oh. My. God.

Infinity Ward haven't lost their ability to make a game practically a cinematic experience.

"All Gillied Up" was an absolutely awesome level. I honestly can't remember the last time I felt so involved in a game. It might also have something to do with the fact that I just played 12 levels until I got horribly, horribly stuck.

So. Yeah. Anyway. Great game.

Hmm, I'm not sure what level that is, but I've just finished the sniping level in Chernobyl, and that was amazing, looked just brilliant and so much fun. I actually reminisced on it later that night and thought i had watched a film! Had to do a double-take inside my head to remember i had actually played it.

Yeah. :)

The Chernobyl sniping level is actually two - one where you're trying to get into position (most awesome level, ever - having to just lay there while tanks and people roll right past is just... nerve-wracking...) and then the next where you snipe the guy, and have to escape. I can't seem to manage the escape, though, which is really winding me up. :(

If you get really wound up and just want to complete it, the way i did it is slightly exploity. If you go to the dodgems on your right and walk over it and drop down behind it, you're then sandwiched between the dodgems platform and the fence. To get to you the enemy has to go round the platform, it's the only way they know how. So you can watch them coming and snipe them as they come , or when they finally get round, jus lean round the edge of the platform and snipe em in a line.

I tried for aaagess to try and do it properly by finding a nice bit of hill, but i always, always got mauled by a dog, i can never knife fast enuf to kill it :(

:D

Biggest complaint is the fact the enemy keeps coming until you reach a certain point like in all COD games. I think it's a bad decision tbh. It makes finding a clever point to pick the enemy off pointless as once you begin to move up, they've all "respawned".

Yeah, I really hate the 'endless wave of enemies' model. >_<

Well I've just completed it , and it's a shame it was as short as it was, but i think it does have replay value, I'm looking forward to playing it through again, and i don't do that with many games.! :)

I replay all too few games now.

A sad state of affairs when I think about it, considering how many times I replayed things like TIE Fighter or Final Fantasy 8.

The sniping mission was simply amazing, probably my favourite level in the whole thing. I'll never forget when the bullet I fire turns to hit him in the head, yet his arm falls off. ;)
Playing it through on Veteran, it feels slightly longer but all in all still a fairly short game. Makes up for that and more by being an epic ass story though.
1000/1000 yay
