Call to Duty 4 Modern Warfare

[Giaka]

OK anyone else out there get this one?  Holy Crap the graphics on HD are getting very real my friends!!  So far I am really liking this game. Halo 3 will not get much use from me for a while. Halo 3 was a good filler between Gears of War and COD4 but that was about it. I hate to admit it but I played for 12 hours yesterday.  

[Thundergod]

ah...but wait until they cap out the Playstation 3 CELL chip in a few more years
Nothing like real-time rendered physics...shell a car, and watch it flip due to simulated real forces.

Games are getting very nice. I just posted about Need for Speed ProStreet, another beautiful game.

Now I just need that $2300 1080p plasma screen.

Man that might just push me over the edge to the point of having nightmares of SAS, Marine Force Recon or Southwestern Russian Muslims (not sure they have a name in the game) blasting me in the face with an RPG or M60.  

[killerST6]

I have it, but I am waiting to play this one, bioshock, Crysis, Timeshift and the New F.E.A.R  until after Xmas, when I get my new Samsung 226 22" Monitor LOL

The wife better not mess that gift up! ha

Screw plasma, go with DLP.

[dzervit]

Screw plasma, go with DLP.

I'm going to pretend I didn't just read that.  

Think I'll have to stop by Best Buy at lunch and get this game, it looks freakin' sweet!  

[Smarti]

The physics are already here with Half Life2.

Call of Duty4 is pretty sweet. The AC-130 Specter map was much fun!

[Real Bad Attitude]

Screw plasma, go with DLP.

Then you would be going backwards.
Plasma rules.

So, I just downloaded and started playing the demo version. Holy crap!  

The graphics are amazing to say the least. Looking forward to spending a lot of time playing this one!

I checked it out on my buddies enormous TV monday night (after football).  Wow...  just wow!  Break out the sniper rifle and cap a guy in the head, not only do you get realistic blood spatter up the wall behind him but his helmet flips up into the air as the body falls to the ground.  The types of weapons you get to use is incredible, between the ground, the helicopter door guns, the AC-130...  
They're definately pushing the lines of too real.

Ever heard of ebay? Games sell real good there.

[bubba zanetti]

Anyone playing the PC version ??  What specs does it need from a video card to work well ???

Not enough finallity.  I might be tempted to buy more with the money.  

YD.

It is called moderation. Set a specific time block aside for gaming and leave it at that. Try it sometime.

I have the PC version. I am running a quad core processor (Q6600), 2 gig ram, and a 320meg 8800GTS video card and I was not able to run on the highest settings. But, it kicked butt and was absolutely amazing. You will need a pretty heavy duty card to run this. The good news is that prices have come down a bit.

How is the multi-player option on the PS3/Xbox?  And not the online, I'm talking two folks on the same box.  Can you go through a campaign together or just the same crappy hunt each other down BS like the last one?

[Giaka]

Just like the old one, there is no co-op campaign. Developers need to wakeup and realize that co-op campaing (online and offline) is a requirement for next gen games.

Yeah I only played for 5 hours yesterday, I am getting better.

Thanks ... I imagine it will crawl on my machine as I have an older card.

I am not.     hence the trash can.  

Luckily the missus is also a recovering gamer so I have someone who can sympathize with my problem.  And nag the piss out of me when I stray.

I'm running a AMD dual core 4800, 2gigram and a 7950gt and it runs pretty smooth. I do thing the shadows are kinda bad though but it could be something with my config.

Gaming is fun and great stress relief especially during the cold winter months.

It is. Just finished STALKER and have nothing to play. I hear Gears of War is good and will not tax my system too much.

I have an AMD 3500 6600 card and tons of RAM but I suspect COD4 is beyond my system.

[Smarti]

Possibly but it may be playable if you turn down the bells and whistles.

Here are some numbers from the demo but this is at a very high resolution:

Might as well give it a try. I will download the demo and see how bad it is.

I used to be addicted to Flight Sims and with each latest and greatest I went and upgraded. Now, my upgrades are usually a year or so behind. It saves me money and in about a year or two I play the game. But I must admit, the new games like COD4 and Crysis have me a bit excited.

[bubba zanetti]

Downloaded the Demo which is very good !    And it runs ok at 600x800 on my machine slightly dumbed down. Have not played much with the settings but will tonight. This will have to go on my list to Santa.

I just finished stalker as well, what did you think?
Personally I loved the game.

Me too. It was really amazing, immersive and very different. Kind of Russian like in an obtuse way.

I heard that the game was good but had a lot of bugs. Did you find that to be true?

[dzervit]

ARRRGGGHHHH!!! WTF?!  EVERY game should have 2 player co-op.  Period.  

[bubba zanetti]

I heard that the game was good but had a lot of bugs. Did you find that to be true?

Do you mean STALKER? No, the latest patch worked well for me and I had no crashes at all.

Yup, that is what I meant. I will have to try it out then. It looks like a great game.

Well, then the PS3 developers will be a good 5 years behind the curve.  Real time physics has been in some games for years.

[killerST6]

I heard that the game was good but had a lot of bugs. Did you find that to be true?

I did not update it and the only issue I had was when I was out walking or running across a large area the game would freeze for a 2 second count then pick right back up, it was a little annoying but it never happened during a firefight or such so it was not that big of a deal as the game was so dang good to me I just paid it no attention.
