I don't worship the game.. I'm just being fair. When you go on and on with these straight up false points concerning its gameplay I feel like someone should correct you. Seriously.. if you just didn't notice recoil in the majority of Call of Duty's rifles.. that's a problem with the player not the game, because it's quite obviously there.

And while there is an arcadey element to COD's gunplay I'm not sure what's wrong with that. No one claimed it was a simulator.. but most of the other games we've discussed in this thread aren't sims either. BF isn't realistic... it's still great.. and despite what you say Halo's model of gunplay is far less realistic. There are no accuracy or recoil penalties for movement or stance.. and a vast number of its weapons literally have no recoil and little to no deviation. That doesn't make it feel more realistic.

I do think it's a solid and well designed shooter.. and it certainly isn't "shitty noob gameplay." Even if there are examples of more realistic games that certainly doesn't make COD any worse of a game for it.

Play the demo in slow motion!

Start map in dev mode (as in my post ealier in this thread) once map is started with /spdevmap bog_a then try this:

/timescale .1

or .2 or .3 or .4 etc up to 1

Been playing bit with it, its very cool :D

This is from over at the CharlieOscarDelta Forums...

OXM subscriber just got his latest issue with COD4 review... 10/10

WARNING... there is a lot of stuff here... spoilerish... not really but it really brings up unknowns about the game.

Here is some info... (Cut & Pasted)

Just got my OXM.
It has a little article on COD4 (ok its the cover story).

You should see the stuff about this masterpiece.

They gave it a 10.

Their only negative is a few frustratingly tough areas on the higher difficulty levels (which I take to be a wonderful challenge) and as you see with their 10 they just needed to say something.
They say multiplayer quality, quantity and depth that rivals Halo's. (Mind you they gave Halo a 10 also.)


Some of this stuff may already be out other places but I haven't seen it:

When you finish Camaign, you unlock arcade mode. You can then play back campaign or single missions gettings scores for different types of kills (i.e. headshots, grenade, car explosions, etc.) You can rack up combos. This sounds awesome to me!

Finding the 30 laptops throughout the campaign unlocks cheats: some cheats include: infinite ammo, game turning black and white, one turning contrast way up, one that lets you activate slo-mo anytime (fear anyone), ragtime (1920's piano music, speeds everything way up, puts grainy sepia texture over the screen), or bad year (shot enemies explode into a pile of car tires). Sound kind of like the skulls in Halo but again sound awesome to me giving the campaign great replayability (for me maybe not for everyone so don't flame me).

They feel the All Ghillied Up level is the finest stealth level in any game they've ever played.

They feel the campaign itself is worth the 10.

MP:
DM, S&D,Domination, One-on-One Duel, a one-shot/one kill hardcore mode, a higher jumping/weapons-via-pickup-only-school mode, Headquarters (their exact words) Four player splitscreen.

No Co-op. I repeat (which they said from the get go).

Level 55 is the tops.



Another posting:
10/10, with multiplayer rivaling Halo 3, a ranking system better than Halo 3, 10/10 Singleplayer AND multiplayer (alone). Enemy Intel unlocks cheats, some normal (Unlimited Ammo), some cool and fun (When you kill an enemy, they burst into a mound of tires).

And to answer other questions, Perk 2: Overkill- Two weapons, no pistol.
New Sniper- Barrett 50 Cal.





Another:
It was a five page review, Halo 3 was about 5, too, but the good and bad is
+Awesome Moments on literally every mission.
+Multiplayer quality, quantity and depth that rivals Halo's.
-A few frustratingly tough areas on the higher difficulty levels.
It also mentioned that the game kept a good pace throughout the game (most games fizz out later on)


"To say Modern Warfare's visual fidelity is immediately apparent would be a criminal understatement. Torrid rainfall, rolling thunder crackling lightning, and marvelously detailed textures and character models all combine to make you say "Whoa"."
-CoD4 does everything right and nearly nothing wrong. But where it elevates itself above even the best 360 shooters is how all of the good stuf is ludicrously good. The campaign never lets up, while the multiplayer is a AAA affair in itself. This swing for the fences has belted CoD4 way out of the park.

With all the controversy over the upcoming multiplayer, and what aspects of the demo will apply to it, I opened the IWD files myself to have a look. What I found was quite interesting, the mp weapon information was included, and it infact was different to the single player weapon info.

I replaced some of the single player gun files with the multiplayer versions, to find out what the recoil was like. I then recorded the result in fraps, and uploaded it to the following links. Excuse the quality of the first movie, the flash made the screen pixelate. Use the megaupload link at the bottom for a higher quality recording

How to:

1) Open "C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare Demo\main"
2) Open iw_02.iwd with a winrar
3) Go to weapons
4) Copy any you want from 'mp' to 'sp', removing the _mp extension from the gun:
e.g
1) delete iw_02.iwd\weapons\sp\ak47
2) copy iw_02.iwd\weapons\mp\ak47_mp to iw_02.iwd\weapons\sp\ak47
Going to try it!

Hmm.. explains why the M4 has more recoil in the demo than it did in the beta I guess (where it did have next to or perhaps even none). Does it change the M16 to three shot burst?

Hmm I tried didnt notice any difference, i think it dont do nothing.

A thread about this:
http://www.infinityward.com/community/forum/index....
Conclusion : Modifying those files just do nothing ;p the recoil/etc info is stored somewhere else (I tried every possible way to check those MP settings too but.. well.. no way)

but on an on optimistic note if you compare the sp and mp files of a same weapon, you can see that the recoil vars ARE different. but no way to find out HOW different."
Anyway game is almost upon us, we will find soon enough :)

Seeing as I cannot afford a 360 right now, I may pick this up on the PC so Grift can kill me since he is too lame to kill me in TF2.

Where is the whole PC v consoles discussion in this video? He bassicly only mentioned PC stuff, while they played the Xbox 360 version in between.. All the stuff he mentioned are reasons why the PC version (as with almost all FPS games that are both on PC and consoles) is always the superiour version.. What else is new?

Just 3 more days folks! CoD4, bring it on!

Played a bit of the single player. So far it looks GREAT and definately plays like COD which is a good thing. The real time cut scenes are incredible and really immerse you into the game. I like the run feature too. Once you get to the day time level and those jets roar by it's like woaah sweet! Lighting is excellent! Unfortunately I gotta give the game a rest because I'm drowsey on nasal decongestant. dangit!

I hope not, but I really got it for the lasting appeal of the multiplayer anyway.
