Cod4

[Adm_Z]

Hey guys, I'm wondering how many people here own or play COD4? I usually don't play these kinds of games, but I was intrigued by the Galactic Warfare Star Wars mod, so I bit the bullet and bought it. Needless to say, it was well worth the $20 I payed for the game itself. Unfortunately, it seems that this talent is going to waste as there are very few people who actually play it. And I really would like to play it.

So I was just wondering if anyone here played the game(I use steam) and I wanted to hopefully convince you to try it. I won't post any more on it as i don't want to be advertising too much more than I have, but if enough msfc members played it, i would love to possibly set up a tournament or something. I think it would be fun.

When you say CoD4 are you talking about Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare? If so then yes. Yes I do. Regularly. I play Modern Warfare 2 way more often (Multi-player mostly) But I really enjoy the campaign on CoD4 - multiplayer was killed for me because I cant run punk buster (its baaaaad software anyway) so I always end up on some mods and hax only server with everyone running around with wall hax and aimbots...

I must admit, when it comes to on line FPS gaming, CoD4 was my first love...

 

[Majestic]

No I don't. I was never a fan of Call of Duty 4, preferring the WWII era versions of the game like World of War. I was quite dishearten to find out Medal of Honour was also going into the modern era and I have left both far behind.

I would much prefer to see a WWII Call of Duty again, or even a Medal Honour though I do prefer Call of Duty, the gameplay is much better as are the game controls.

So to answer your question, no I don't have the game.

Interesting... What kind of computer are you running? I use Win 7 32bit. I had a seriously hard time getting punkbuster running, but I finally got it installed and it works fine now.

Either way, you should check it out. Seriously, Look up Galactic Warfare on youtube. Its pretty cool.

I am with you Maj. I am not a fan of playing as Current servicemen, or possible current enemy's of my own country. It is distasteful. Honestly, I am not a huge shooter fan anyway, but I will play star wars shooters, and stuff like Team fortress2 just because it isn't trying to mimic reality, but I really am not a fan of the COD series. I just got this one for the mod. If fact, my computer barely passes the requirements mark, so it isn't really pretty on my screen either.

I agree with you on that point, but I do enjoy the WWII era, the time that our grand parents/great grandparents played such an important role in bring to us our pay of life. But those games can also be distasteful to some. I always try and instil some history about the era, portraying both sides of the conflict and why (say the Japanese went to war) to my kids when we play together. I feel unless we learn from our history we are doomed to repeat it.

Then you need to get Halo mate, it's shooting aliens, that's not realistic in the least and a lot of fun with a real nice blend of comedy in it with Marines and the Covenant egging each other on with taunts.

I've said this before, but I personally am not a huge fan of the WWII setting. It's definitely an interesting time, and one that is worth remembering and thinking about, but it seems so stereotypical to me. If a game company wants to make a shooter game and has no unique ideas for the setting, well, one can always go kill some Nazis, right? This is something that bugs me about BattleTech's FedCom civil war, too - it's so obviously a WWII setting (the german-speaking Lyran Commonwealth fighting against the american-inspired Federated Suns), it seems like the whole story was just to allow BT players to fight Nazis. So I definitely think that the era is interesting, but it's been done way too often. Shoot someone else's great-grandparents.

 

[Majestic]

I never meant to offend.

I think some of these game companies need to do a more unbiased WWII game, I mean there are two sides to every conflict right? And we all know that is was a select few who caused the problems and the rest were forced to fight in the fear for their families lives.

But anyway, that is the good thing about Halo and other such games. None of us have Grunt or Brute grandparents right?

Heh, thats true... Of course COD's Nazi zombies kinda keeps that going even in a more modern setting. I supose I'm not a huge fan of that stereotype wither.

This is why I usually stick with games like Halo or SW shooters. Nobody to offend, and no actual peoples being targeted.

But anyway, that is the good thing about Halo and other such games. None of us have Grunt or Brute grandparents right?

Except for Thunderfoot. He is 1/4 Brute.

Oh and can I post a vid of galactic warfare from youtube?

Of course you can.

Not offended in any way, man Just wanted to get that opinion of mine out there.

Yup, that is why I prefer to shoot at evil aliens.

 

[Adm_Z]

Cool.

Here is the release trailer.

p.s. I edited my post.

Ninja'd by the ninja kitteh...

@ Terra
don't we all?

 

[CABAL]

Am I the only person that thought this thread was about fish when I looked at the title? I was very confused before I read the first post, lol.

Anyway, I was never much of a COD fan. You have so little health that some of the weapon specs, like damage, never seemed very important to me.

 

[Majestic]

Thanks Terra.

Adm_Z I think you're right. I might at some point grab a copy just to play the mod. It looks really professionally done and could be a lot of fun, especially if they have a campaign and not just MP.

 

[Adm_Z]

Unfortunately, I don't think they have a SP campaign. There might be one planned, but at this point I don't think there is. I'm not even sure if the game allows singlplayer mods.

there are bot mods though, which allow you to play against bots, but I have yet to try them.

initially, i was going to buy the game for $10 when it was on sale on steam, but i misplaced my creditcard and by the time I found it, the sale was over. Thankfully, i did find it though, and losing it only cost me $10.

So $20 might seem a lot for a game with no singleplayer, but if it were $10 I would say to go and pick it up right away.

 

[Majestic]

I'll surely look into it/ Now that I have a xbox/PC receiver it means I can use Xbox 360 controllers on my PC. It was a Fathers Day present as last weekend was Father's day in Australia.

 

[Adm_Z]

Thats cool. I always just used a piece of software which read the signals from blutooth controllers such as a Wii remote, Ps3 controller, and X-Box controller. I didn't realize there was an easier solution.

 

[Adm_Z]

Yesterday I found a server with 5 people on it and played a couple 3v3's. It was pretty awesome. I am seriously put matched when it comes to sniping, but playing night-ops. through tatooine is amazing. I did pretty well for on that.

 

[dinosaurJR]

What! there is a starwars mod for CoD4 and I didnt know about it!!!!!!

I am most certainly d/ling that when I get home.

I usually leave the FPS genre completely alone. Especially the ones based on reality. They will never get the combat sequences right because the dev teams have seen too many movie firefights and none of them have ever been in actual combat. Not really their fault, I suppose. No one has ever told them most of the time people are looking the wrong way at the wrong things at the wrong time. I remember settling Two Four into a really nice hull down and watching as about a company of Iraqi tanks advanced down a road. They had no clue at all we were there. It was dark and there was a shamal blowing pretty good. We opened fire at the optimum range for our weapons (which is only about 200-300 meters further than theirs). From inside the sand storm. They started shooting off ADA. Because they thought they were being bombed. Which was just fine by me. Meant none of mine were getting shot at. My four tanks killed (why yes, this is the correct word, mate. Not 'whacked' or 'blown away' or any of the other euphemisms we so casually throw around when speaking of ending the life of another human being using violence to do so.) twelve vehicles and about one hundred or so infantry in just under three minutes. My final personal score from both Desert Storm and Bosnia is seven vehicles and about two hundred fifty personnel. I don't count wounded or blood trails or stuff like that. Because that would just be being greedy to no good end.

Reality based FPS games never have any of the screaming from the wounded in them. You'd be surprised to find out just how loud a fellow trying to push his intestines back inside can shriek. The octaves and pitch he can reach are also quite amazing. Wouldn't think a grown man's voice can get that high. 'Reality based' FPS games also never have enough civilians in them. These would be boring wouldn't they? 'Reality based' FPS games never show the wounded bleeding enough either. Someone whose lower leg has just been completely torn off by a landmine can bleed to death in less than sixty seconds. The arteries can under adrenaline induced action and the shock of losing a limb squirt bright red blood about thirty five to forty feet.

So no, I don't really like 'Reality based' FPS games at all. Because they aren't based on 'reality' one bit. I think people who play these ought to go down to the recruiting station and sign up for a hitch. Why play the game at all, when Real Life combat experienced personally is so very much more entertaining? Oh wait, I forgot. No respawn in Real Life is there? I hate it when that happens, don't you? I might 1/4th Brute, true. But I've done all the things badly portrayed in these 'Reality based' shooters for real. How many other online killers can say that, hunh? And unlike the scores and stats on the leaderboard for a 'Reality based' shooter, I didn't have to go kill them a second or third time. I have the regular visits with the head docs to prove it, too.

I agree completely. I don't think I have ever owned any until now, and I bought cod4 for the complete purpose of modding it to SW. Why would you even want to play a game that was 'realistic'? It give no bonus to the users, otherwise halo wouldn't be so popular, and the best part of Black Ops wouldn't be nazi zombies. And like you said. There is no respawn in real life.



EDIT: oh! and I found a bot addition so you can play off line against bots and in lan games!!! not as hard as real people but sure it fun.

Dino, you and I need to get some more people on this. After you try is and actually get a game, you will understand.:Y

This. Quoted for truth.

I myself have CoD4 but I haven't touched it in about a year, I've since gotten Modern Warfare 2 and pretty much play that exclusively since World at War seems to have died out.

 

[Adm_Z]

do you play on the PC or xbox?

 

[Majestic]

I have it on Xbox360 but never play it, Scarlon plays it much more than I do.

 

[Lord_Trekie]

I play on PC.
