Acert: The C4 vid is from the PS3 build apparently, or are you talking about all the MP vids?

I don't know if I have seen every one, but here are the ones I have seen: C4, Sleight of Hand, Double Tap, Deep Impact.

http://gametrailers.com/game/4735.html

And some of the SP looks washed out and flat as well, e.g. the beginning of the second (?) trailer.

But then you have the 3D screenshot and the first trailer. And here are some tasty pics, one for sure from the first trailer:

MP movies thus far have NOT looked as good as these two pictures. There is always the PC v console question as well as SP v MP.

The fans have spoken. Concerning the graphics of the Halo 3 Beta: "There's so many little effects and things going on that make this game pretty much 2nd only to Gears at the moment."

Still looks pretty good... from:

Last week's Lace Report mentioned Perks - a new function in multiplayer that allows players to customize their online character with their own personal style of combat. This week, we reveal Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's first Perk: LAST STAND.

With Last Stand, you'll get one last ditch effort to continue the fight before you bleed out, or take another lethal hit. When you customize your class with Last Stand, or choose a default class which has it, anytime you're taken down, you'll fall to the ground and instantly pull out your side arm.

While in Last Stand, you'll be firing your side arm from the ground with one hand. Putting up one final last stand against the enemy before you bleed out, or they put one final round into you.

To give you a little glimpse into exactly what it's like to be in Last Stand, we jumped into multiplayer and took a screenshot and some video of the perk in action.

I'm bummed... but still looking good.

I honestly don't expect a big difference when you're looking at this stuff first hand. COD2's MP is pretty beautiful -- and the engine runs at a smooth 60fps in SP as well -- so why would they downgrade the MP portion of the game? If it's just a matter of having a smaller team dedicated to those portions of the game, it still wouldn't make sense to use a different renderer. Perhaps the assets just aren't as good..

When I play this on my PC, I hope they both look about equal.

Info from the charlieoscardelta.com website...

Aaron from Indiana asks:

How is the party system going to function and how many players can be in a party? Also, how will ranking and scoring be affected with players entering and exiting matches at anytime?

Answer:

The party system is set up via its own Party Lobby. Everyone has a Party lobby as soon as you jump into the Multiplayer menus of the game. From there, you can invite friends to join your party (lobby) at any time via the Party Invite option. Once you have your friends in the party, you can search for the game type you want to play and move from game to game as a group.

With matchmaking, when you search for a game, it will only put you in games in progress that are evenly matched with the rank (skill) of your party members and those which are balanced team wise.

You can have up to 8 players in a party; since we want to keep parties together instead of splitting them up. Therefore, if you have a party of 8, it will attempt to search out the most evenly matched game of 8 other players.

I'm a bit skeptical, but balance is key.. and if it's balanced.. realism can bite it. This isn't ArmA, and thank god for that! Plus, you don't HAVE to play with perks.

Here are some excepts from this months GFW magazine interview w/ IW, dealing directly with this subject.

Posted by GFW

GFW: Let's talk about unlockable perks. What's the plan?
VZ: Well we're doing good balancing in the game...you start with your base classes--of which begin with perks--and, as you level up, you get new perks. These change the game, but not to the point that a high-level player is clearly more powerful than you. So you look at the list of possible perks, decide to take this or that, and the downside is that you only get one. When you pick that perk, you're eliminating the other 10 that you could've taken, so it balances itself out that way. Same thing with weapons--all the guns and attachments have strengths and weaknesses. If you equip a silencer you're not dealing as much damage, but then you're not showing up on the radar either.
TA: Yeah, perks are divided into three different catagories. So, say, the Radar Jammer is in the same catagory...
VZ: ...as Stopping power, which doubles bullet damage, or Juggernaut, which boosts health. But you can only take one for each build, and that's where the balance is.

Posted by GFW

GFW: Are we swapping these in and out everytime we spawn, or only once when we join the server?
VZ: When you join. You're alloted slots with the class you create, and you can change what goes in them from outside the game. Once you join a server, though, you're commited to that class. You can create five different classes and change whatever you want while in the menus or lobby.
TA: Make an offense guy, a flag runner...

And finally.. for the concern of purists and possibly clan matches..

Posted by GFW

GFW: Can you choose to play on "pure" servers with no perks whatsoever?
VZ: Yeah. We'll have ranked and unranked servers. Unranked games are completely customizable.

Good interview. They also discuss improving the anti-cheat system (which was a huge issue in the PC version of COD2) and the addition of killcam. Lots more good stuff in there.

From the August issue of GFW. Quoted IW team members are: Vince Zampella (Chief Creative Officer), and Todd Alderman (Multiplayer Lead Designer).

Wow, after reading the IGN article I must say I am 100% excited for this & I will be purchasing CoD4. Team Elimination, realism mode, custom classes, 60fps gameplay. Hurrah! And they say the gameplay rocks.

The kill cam with a list of the killers perks is a sweet option. Oh, and Domination? DoD/BD1942 clone woot! And the best mode... drool!

Call of Duty 5 is probably going to be Treyarch crap, unless Activision sees the light. How come the MP beta is all COD2 mp modes if there are new gameplay modes, bummar!
