Call of Duty 4: Modern combat trailer up

Wow! looks almost as good as CoD 2 for PC.

 

The stuff in there (that seems more polished than other elements) certainly looks good. I don't think I'd put it on the same level as Crysis, though. But it does look good, albeit quite unfinished as well (surprise?). I think I might have had higher (unfounded?) expectations.

Call of Duty 2 was an excellent game. Certainly went a long way in justifying the money I put down on a 360. CoD3 was a real disappointment. Many people commented on how it was "more of the same" and that's why it wasn't as great as CoD2 was at the time. And I think those people miss it. CoD3 wasn't more of the same at all--(speaking of SP, being what I prefer here) it wasn't even close to the quality of CoD 2. The level of polish wasn't there, the mission structure wasn't as good or entertaining, IMO. It was chock full of the gimmicks that seemed to have been made for the Wii--the bombs you had to set (god, horribly tedious after half a dozen of them), and the close quarters combat minigame. Oh, and then it chose to use even more of the pieces that made CoD2 frustrating at points. Those multiple sub-objective missions where you have to go through the same laborious task again and again to get to the part where you failed last time. Setting the charges near the factory (and getting shot in the back because enemies just keep respawning) and such. It's like they never played some of those missions thoroughly on Veteran.

Strong, high expectations for solid gameplay from IW, and I don't doubt they'll meet it. I just hope that the setting doesn't disinterest me. I'm somewhat sick of WWII, thought not as much as other people (since I don't play them that much). But what I'm NOT sick of is the scale. I don't find the... context, as interesting, when you're fighting a small band of terrorists or whatever. So I hope the scale is good, whoever the enemy ultimately is. Probably didn't describe what I mean very well, but eh...

 

The game looks good.

But nowhere in Crysis league (IMO).

 

Neat, but I think my perception was a bit twisted watching it, after someone mentioned Crysis level visuals I was getting ready and was massively disappointed, its not even close...

Anyway, the first COD was a great game, as was the second one, didn't get to play the third. I am very glad to see the series has progressed to modern day but I really would have liked to see what could have been done in say a Vietnam setting. We'll see how it goes, seems like it will have the typical CoD intensity which is a good sign.

 

yea... seriously, let's all just pretend that one guy didn't mention Crysis, ok?

certainly the visuals here look nice and can be appreciated on their own without the comparisons to the incomparable.

 

The trailer looked really nice. I really loved CoD2 on my pc and i will love to play this one on my pc or next gen consoles.

 

Yeah, I haven't been this excited for a CoD title since CoD 2. Definitely looking forward to playing this game.

 

on the new cover of Game Informer where they call it

"The most INTENSE First-Person Shooter WE HAVE EVER SEEN!"

 

I love this seres and look forward to this release but let's not compare SP to MP (different art styles as well Sci-Fi vs realism).

We have not yet seen Halo3 SP at all except for teaser trailer.

oh and thanks for the update!

 

4 min 21 sec. gameplay footage (xbox360 - off screen - 960x540).
IMO the best fps i have ever seen in any platform!!! I am still trying to believe it

This looks to be the best looking/playing FPS right now easily...

the online matchmaking system will have a Halo2-like matchmaking/party system as well and Multiplayer will be tits.

Online Beta test coming to 360 exclusively as well.

 

it was given that this game would rock no matter what (this is infinity ward we are talking about) but this level of detail, this level of realism..wow simply wow. agreed with Tap In this game currently looks like it's going to be the king of fps visuals.

 

This really is amazing...

 

Wow! Thanks a ton. It looks like I've found a site that I can stream from (that my IT won't block)

 

It looked like it was 100% game play free, all cinematic cut-scene type stuff. Is there more than one video? I find it hard to get excited over marketing PR.

NM, there is an on stage video with game play. Musch better IMO.

 

just hang tight and you will soon be playing this on your 360 as a beta multiplayer...(the best part of the game IMO)

 

The video linked above (this one) has real gameplay, it is visible.
And WOW now that was something, pretty much everything was casting shadows (trees casting shadows on trees) and the lighting with the enemy animations, view distance and detail, impressed!

Edit: Reminds me of the movie 'Behind enemy lines' where the battlefield looks very similar and same mercenary outfit on the enemy. Heh I might think they got inspiration from that movie since in the end of the CoD4 demonstration one sees a group of soldiers moving against teh player. A similar scene exists in the movie 'Behind enemy lines'!

 

holy crap at the real time Game play in CoD4

 

Absolutely. Wow, just wow.

On the downside, I really don't like the way you move. A little too glider like.

Mind you, I complain about the movement in every FPS.
