CoD 4 tomorrow, anyone biting?

I cant wait for this game, picking it up on the way home today..... I hear theres dogs that come after you, thats crazy... how many michael vick references will come from this I wonder. :)
 
I just picked up my copy. It'll probably be four more hours (at least) until I get to try it out :( . I'm chomping at the bit to see how it looks on the 1920x1200...

I think I'm going to pick up CoD 4 for the multiplayer but I'm currently waiting for my step-up 8800gt to come in.

Anyone else going to get it? The demo was pretty good

I think I'll pass on this and get Crysis and Gears of War instead.

Demo didn't float my boat, so to speak.
 
Just got back to the office from picking mine up.

I sure do feel a little whoozy, and I have a slight headache coming on. I better go home. :D
 
same here.. called gamestop and they said come and get it.. so i did :)

waiting on my 8800GT to be delivered today and I'll be set tonight after work :) gonna be a great night
 
Sending the roomie to go pick up my preorder, and I shall tear into it as soon as I get home from work.
 
I installed and played it for half an hour before I had to go to class. So far i'm blown away by it, I have it set at 2560 x 1600 0AA, 16AF, max ingame settings with no problem.
 
Holy shit! This game is intense. Infinity Ward is back doing what they do best.

It didn't for me either. The demo seemed way too bloated - where they throw 200 troops at you to mow down. I fear the full game may eventually lead to this, but so far these first two SAS levels are perfectly paced and balanced.

And where this series has always truly shined - the cinematic feel. I've never before felt so much a part of a special forces fire team. Awesome voice acting, environment and scripted sequences.

k. Must go play more.

I can't wait to dive in. Those screenshots are *killer*

I want my damn 8800GT!

What's Best Buy's return policy on graphics cards?
 
I wasn't going to buy this until I beat WiC but I am heading to the store right now!
 
I was pretty excited about COD4 for a long time until I played the demo, which was quite a letdown. The MP depth, however, is very appealing to me and I might pick it up sometime.

Full Refund within 30 days I believe, that's how it was when I got one, lol, don't you dare...
Getting it today, can't play until Thursday night, stupid college + work :(
 
i got it on the pc. playing SP at 16x10 i have default settings with 4x aa and its stutters a little. I can manage for single player but i gotta turn it down for MP or ill be lunchmeat.

Same here. What gives? I preordered it, got a call that it should be in today, but no. No stores around here got it today as advertised while apparently a bunch of other places did get it. bah.........
 
went to target they didnt have any then went to Eb games the guy said only if you reserved it , I was like i want it for pc they had plenty :) my son is playing it now he wont let me play :eek::D
 
Hmmm, well..... I just played multiplayer for a couple hours. I'm not overly impressed. The weapons and perks are really cool..... the gameplay is kinda tight.... but the air support (attack helicopters) you can call in (after getting 5 kills in a row) is pretty dumb.

There's a pretty strict endurance meter in place, keeping people from jumping around and sprinting too much. But there's still a little bit of 'dolphin diving' going on. Weapons switching is a little on the slow side - often to your demise.

I was also getting frustrated by playing on free-for-all servers, in where there were far too many players for the map. So you'd often get shot in the back after spawning, etc.... It would have been more fun with fewer players (on the maps I was on). On that note though, the maps are actually really cool. Very complex and detailed.

Right now TF2 is by far the better mp experience. But I'm gonna play it some more and see how it evolves. They really need to get rid of the noob air support crap though and focus on the gunplay.

The noob air support is a fun toy though. just keep people from getting 5 kills in a row ;)

After hearing that Epic screwed up Gears of War with no dedicated servers, I guess I will be getting CoD 4 sooner than I thought ;)

after realizing that I am not willing to get triple Ultras in order to play Crysis maxed out, I decided im going to get COD4, max it out, and play it on my single 8800 GT. :)
 
Single player so far is awesome. I am running all settings maxed at 1920 x 1200. Stuck on the TV station mission on the hardest difficulty. It is TOUGH.
 
helll yeahh i'm biting, or, i will when i get my report card and in turn get report card money :D

Multiplayer kicks some major ass as well.

You can say that again, I just played for 3 straight hours :eek:. It actually feels like a real battleground, Everything is well balanced. Nothing but good things.
 
The only downfall is the *noob cannon*

Those who have played for a short amount of time will know which one I'm talking about ;)
 
I posted in the CoD4 pc vs. 360 thread, but wasn't answered yet so I'll post in this one. I purchased my CoD4 for the PC today. But now I am smacking myself in the head for not getting it for the 360. My friends are going to get it for the 360, split screen co-op, and my hdtv setup makes it all the better choice now. I don't think Best Buy lets anyone return an opened PC game due to the CD key, but is there hope if I exchange it for the 360 version and pay the difference?
 
I highly doubt that'll happen. Your best bet is on the forums or someplace like that. And then pick up the 360 version with the cash from the PC one.

I'd keep the PC and save up for the 360 as well if I were in your position. Maybe one day when your PC goes through a big upgrade you'll feel like replaying the game with completely maxed settings. ;)

I have to agree with both posts.

I know CoD has always been a popular franchise (to say the least), but there's something about even the modern age version of the game that just doesn't "do it", and truthfully, I don't see the huge attraction.

Everyone has their own likes/dislikes etc., so I'm not knocking anyone for that, I guess I just find it "odd" in some way, because I was never impressed with the visuals or the gameplay.

I'd by far prefer UT3, certainly Crysis, and even something like BlackSite: Area 51 or even Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back (though I know that's going to be a crap shoot until we really see it, and even then), but that's just my own personal. Far better visuals, IMO, and more in-depth and creative gameplay aspects.

Just not enough to CoD in terms of visuals or gameplay to really leave any impression on me.

But, for those who enjoy it... enjoy ;)
 
After more playtime with multiplayer, I'm even less impressed. I still really like the perks and achievement system they have in place. It's fun and almost addicting. But the core gameplay - the netcode, aiming, animations - are just a bit on the sloppy side. It doesn't feel nearly as tight as the 'ol original CoD.

Very much loving the single player though - even if it is just CoD 2 with new textures.
