Call of Duty

I watched the trailer for this and it looked really crap.

It seemed less like an apocalypse and more like Neighbours.

If you cats want an apocalypse go get fallout 3 mmkay

Fallout does look very good but I'm not much of an RPG fan!

The first part was very good, I think the next parts may become more "Neighbors" but we'll have to wait and see!

I play good games, not genres of games. You should check it out regardless.

Do they have robots?

My mates got it so I'll try it out at his. CoD W@W? I don't think I'll ever get over the CoD addiction ... I wanna play new games! Maybe Little Big Planet will pull me away!

No ... don't think so ...

World at War? You'd honestly prefer to play that than Fallout? Treyarch couldn't make a good game if they tried. If you really have to play COD, play COD4. Infinity Ward know how to make an FPS.

What I should have added on was Zombies and Survival generally

Quoted for truth, WaW only looks good as it's on the CoD4 engine. It's not a crap game but it's nowhere near CoD4 standards, for starters the plot is harder to follow, gameplay feels less smooth, the characters are hardly fleshed out and you don't get attached to them even if you did cast Gary Oldman and Kiefer Sutherland. But I do admit the Zombie mode is fun, until I get Left 4 Dead that is.

Left 4 Dead is like a kick in the head every time I remember I'm broke. Goes something like;

RV: "GEE ID REALLY LIKE TO GET LEFT FOR DEAD."

RV's Wallet: "no fuck you buddy"

RV: "FINE I WILL GO AND SWEAR AT PEOPLE ON THE INTRAWEB."

L4D: *kicks rv in the head*

So the wallet is your nemesis too then? I don't know how much longer I can stretch out Fallout 3 for all the awesome it is. Might fire up Portal again to do the map challenges and advanced maps. For me it feels more like a steel toecap boot to the balls in my opinion.

I think W@W is the exception, of course it is built on the CoD4 engine but IMO multiplayer is better (CoD4 got to dull as I played it sooo so much) and single player on W@W is very good, characterization is exactly the same as in CoD4, facial features-wise!

W@W is definitely worth a go, it should be the exception to the rule that Activision are on the crap side!

No one's saying bad things about Activision. It's Treyarch that they all hate.

Why alternate between developers anyway? Going by how less popular CoD3 was to CoD4, it doesn't make much sense to bring Treyarch back into the fold. Unless they have noticed how poor MoH is doing at the moment, and dont want a single developer to run out of good ideas. Any thoughts?

It means they can put out more games in the same span of time. Every two years IW works their magic, then Activision use Treyarch to cash in on the leftover hype. If IW was forced to make a new COD game every year, they most certainly wouldn't be of the same quality. Although, they would still probably be better than Treyarch's 'efforts'.

Nonetheless, people like Mr. Minty can't seem to tell the difference, which is unfortunate.

True.

You know what's worse? WaW has so far performed better than COD4. What the hell is wrong with people?

PS. You know RV is back when your thread gets hijacked. Holy shit that rhymes lets write a rap guys.

My guess is due to the online aspect and the Zombie mode. The Online aspect has been noted as a good point of WaW. I've not done it myself due to the nature of my Uni network not allowing an Xbox to get connected.

At least this time next year CoD6 will be here and will be in the right hands. But leaving the franchise in the hands of Infinity Ward and getting a game once every 2 years is going to generate more hype anyway. CoD4 still had an active online community last time I checked.

[Ross Hendrie]

CoD2 still has an active online community. It rocked a lot aswell.

Yeah, so I think we all agree Treyarch are pretty shit.

P.S. Thread split?

Thread split gets my thumbs up.

Also does anyone notice the AI is progressively worse on WaW? It's more apparent on Veteran mode.

[Ross Hendrie]

Im sure that will be all too apparent, judging by how impossibly hard some parts on CoD4 are.

What areas did you all find the most impossible on CoD4? For me it's the epilogue(if you've completed that on Veteran I salute you), the very last mission, the part in the Chernobyl mission where you have to carry Captain MacMillan, and escaping from the farm in that town with the safehouse.

I've done all of CoD4 on veteran even the epilogue mission. I managed to do all that a couple of weeks before WaW came out, and it was much easier to do veteran on CoD4 then it is on WaW. It's made me notice a few more flaws with the game.

[Ross Hendrie]

WaW is harder? That's not possible.
