Thought I'd make this seeming the MoH Airborne thread will no doubt get overun by it sooner or later.



360 and PS3? Pray it isn't so

Yay! <3

You don't want is on PS3 or you want it on the pc.

Hopefully this title will be better than Cod 3. Maybe i can finally kill some towelheads.

Yeah, lets kill those "terrorists."

I want this for the PC

I want it on PC, and PC only. Then they can do shitty console ports.

That's the way

I welcomed it to the 360, much better platform for it I thought and I was a big fan of the first two.

I'm welcoming it anywhere I can get it TBH...

The world needs one TRULY GREAT modern war game.

You think the 360 is a better platform than the pc?

No this world needs more CoH: Modern Warfare.

But CoD: Modern Warfare is good enough.

I just hope it's developed primarily for PC, and then ported over to consoles and toned down as needed into a seperate game for the 'casual' console folks, like it used to be... But I think the truth is (suprise suprise) it will be developed mainly for the larger more profitable console playerbase first, dumbed down into a heap of shit, ruining all potentional, and then ported over to the loyal PC gamers who made the developers who they are in the first place. Certainly seems to be the new trend. Sigh.

So anyway, thoughts on what this game about? Seeming it's modern I'm presuming it'll be Americans vs. communists/Arabs/terrorists/Arab terrorists. Maybe an evil fictional communist nation who funds Arab terrorists?

Tactical modern warfare. That's what they mean by modern. Urban environment maybe?
I'm awfully tired of the open desert environments though, they should focus on highly vegetated terrain to provide more cover for the enemy and the player, which is what I haven't seen in any good war game.

No doubt there will be plenty of Urban environments in there somewhere no matter what it is, but yeah decent forests would be a nice feature too, havn't had any since Vietcong. IMO Modern warfare can only really point to the Iraq/Afghanistan/Middle-East though, and seeming the 'war' there isn't much more than bombing, patrolling, avoiding roadside bombs, and dealing with rowdy militias, I can't see it being particularly exciting even if they do stretch it a bit like in the previous CoDs. So I'm guessing it's going to be mostly fictional, maybe somthing like Operation Flashpoint or Armed Assault's storyline? I guess they could do the Middle-East, the fictional part being their forces not surrendering/getting owned.

Considering that one of the Chapters in COD2 focused on the assault on Pointe-du-Hoc, which was an operation assigned to the Rangers, COD4 might focus on special operations. While the majority of standard infantry and combat units are given tasks such as patrolling and maintaining order in the Middle East, special units are still given direct combat assignments.

It might be interesting if they focus on what hasn't been touched yet...
During the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom Army Special Forces and the 75th Ranger Regmiment where given such tasks as...

Direct action operations
Raids
Infiltration and exfiltration by air, land or sea
Airfield seizure
Personnel seizure

Now that I think of it, the game might be interesting, just as long as they focus on what hasn't been touched by other developers.

Imagine a mission where you're given the task to clear an airfield. You infiltrate from the air in the middle of the night and regroup with your squad/platoon while under fire...
Blah blah, clear the airstrip of any vehicles/obstacles. Clear the Air tower and set up communications, clear the terminal, eliminate any enemy personnel, locate any intelligence, seize enemy commanding officer.

I don't know it seems like much of it has been covered in the past by other games but they can pull it off.

I don't think it would be that great really, as it is it would only be a couple of days of fighting a rabble of crippled, badly equipped soldiers who surrender half the time. Plus it's a slap in the face to the other nations who took part but got discluded, when CoD is known for it's usual inclusion of them.

*sigh* I liked the CoD wwII games, I prefer wwII games to modern generally but it depends on how its made. But I loved CoD2 :-P

You can only do some many World War 2 games before they get burnt out and people ignore them. It is a good thing they are moving on to other wars, WWII gets to much attention and becoming not so much fun any more.

Ghost recon hasnt done any of that at all yea know?

Ghost Recon, hmm. There we go, they've done it. I don't know, my opinion/ideas are no longer important, I've transfered my interests to RPG's, mainly Oblivion. Although maybe some FPS will be able to capture my attention. COD3 and GRAW2 just never interested me like COD2 and GRAW, its pointless. I need sleep.

For playing games I do yea, after all thats what it's ment to do. No ******ing about installing, looks better then PC (my PC anyway) and theres voice chat all the time. It's so much more easier then messing about in teamspeak and stuff, its just all there for you, just so convenient.

I don't think its fair to label installation as a negative point, it's a one-time process that takes a few minutes and saves you having to suffer the sound of your DVD drive spinning up constantly during gameplay, and improves load times. The fact your PC isn't good enough is an invalid point, and quite a few games have inbuilt voice chat - no teamspeak messing, although it's true it is easier on the 360 at least, because nearly everyone has a mic. Other than that console versions of FPS and RTS games - the two most popular genres - have worse graphics, gameplay, and control schemes. Established and widely proven fact. I'm not saying consoles are bad, I love my 360, but overall if you compare the same game on both platforms, the PC version will come out ontop. That's pretty much the reason why I only buy console exclusives for those genres, all the other games are better played off-console.

CoD4 trailer http://www.charlieoscardelta.com

You have to register to watch it. It looks awesome, but at the same time, this game could also suck. It looks like your average FPS shooter TBH.

http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=61037 heres the trailer at gametrailers.com

I thought it wasn't going to be revealed until Tonight? Hmm.
Anyway, I saw communists, Arabs, Americans, fictional. And to think, I used to believe the CoD series was the antithesis of the whole boring 'US saves the world single-handedly from evil folk, again' theme and they could never do somthing so awful. Sigh. It does look good, but jesus they could of somthing a little more original, or even realistic?

I think I saw some SAS in there.

Where abouts? I didn't see anything to suggest it.

The part in the plane. I'm not 100% sure, but, why wouldn't the Brits be added into it? They are in the war too right?

Judging by the trailer the game is fictional, it's not based off a real war. It doesn't even seem to be a war really, more of some kind of insurgency/flashpoint which is even less reason for multinational involvement. Besides, the SAS don't really have a uniform as such anyway so it's impossible to say for sure whether it was them or not, nowadays they're more often in standard British military clothing or plain clothes than the stereotypical black CT outfit you see in CS/pictures/that trailer. And seeming it makes no refrence to anything other than Americans vs. Russians and Arabs, I think it's safe to assume they (or anyone else) won't be included.

Well, I was just guessing.

Wait...plain clothes?

Anyways, I do see your point, but Full Spectrum Warrior 2 was (and is) fictional and you play as Brits in that game.

All I could make out was a load of soldiers running around shooting at walls, whacking arabs around the head and the odd explosion here and there. Oh and some guy waving a desert eagle around for a while at the end.

Then the dogs that jump at the screen... which I mistook for dinosaurs at first.

If its going to be a "modern" game I hope it its a bit more realistic in terms action and how many people one individual is capable of shooting/killing/whatever. I never beat CoD2 because it was such an incredibly redundant and boring process of killing an entire German division to accomplish one worthless objective, like repairing a telephone wire.

Not to be a snob, but using the American forces as a central character/theme in these games are a given, since Americans are more than likely the primary market being targeted. I believe these companies and developers are more and more about making money than making a good game these days.

Cinematic FPS. Yawn.

SAS or not, player models look good, hopefully the gameplay is better then COD 3.

In my new game informer ive got some things for you all...

-SAS Will definately be playable, as will Americans, and POSSIBLY Russian 'loyalists.'
-Original story line dealing with a Russian Rebel Terrorist and An unnamed Middle Eastern Country.
-The best graphics I have ever seen in my LIFE. (outside of Crysis)
-Constant 60 Frames Per Second.


If i had a scanner, Id scan for you guys... i dont though, sorry =(

Take pics with a digital camera, and then upload them I guess. At least get them to us! >:D

If they have indeed kept the multi-nationalism, my faith has been restored. I'm not liking the constant 60FPS thing though, please don't say it's consoles only/PC version is an awful console port...

But yes, need more pics + info.

I'll do my best. the pics WILL be awful...

Yeah I cant get pics, it comes out too blurry...

But, dont worry Elanzer, it WILL be on PC... but its looking like youll need a beast of a PC to run this baby at the highest settings.

Sounds like a crappy port to me.

Some screens.

New info, but it's pretty much confirmed that the CoD series is now consoletrash.

- Three locations in single player: US, Middle East, Russia.
- 32 player on PC, 16 on consoles.
- No cross-platform support.
- Unlockable weapons, outfits, gamertags(?), and weapon skins.
- Runs at 1080p at 60FPS.

I like the whole unlockable weapons and outfits and stuff.

I don't.

Starting to sound like ******ing battlefield.

A pity. I was hoping they'd redeem themselves after CoD3 with this one, but it doesn't look like they will. Nice visuals though.

It's starting to get worse and worse. Hopefully this is worth at least renting.
