Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

It's not. I just think COD4 is so classic that people will still play it even when 5 is out.

I'm one of those people, i can't stand WW II games and i've passed on COD:WaW

Have you played the demo yet? Like Thelwig said, it's a great compliment, not a replacement.

I love stats..

http://www.fourzerotwo.com/2009/01/07/call-of-duty-4-stats-put-into-perspective/

We decided to pull some numbers on Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare this past week, which Slothy (one of our coders) so graciously put into a perspective we can all relate to.

As of Jan. 3rd we hit 10,006,606 unique users who have ever played Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on Xbox 360 and have connected to Xbox Live at least once after playing.

That number got us curious as to how many of those 10 Million+users finished the F.N.G. mission, or beat Airplane on Veteran (among other things). Well, it turns out:

71.1%, or 7,111,508 people have completed F.N.G.

That’s more than the entire population of Hong Kong (which is 7 Million).

68.8%, or 6,886,509 people have completed Cargo Ship.

This is the same number of adults in the US who were morbidly obese in 2005.

46.5%, or 5,654,643 people have beaten the game on any difficulty.

This is more than the current population of Finland!

2.8%, or 283,632 people have completed Airplane on Veteran difficulty.

The population of Stockton, CA is 280,000.

So if you’ve beat Airplane on Veteran difficulty, then congratulations. You’re in a very elite club. Considering less than 3% of players have been able to do it.

Now keep in mind, these are only players on Xbox 360 (who have also connected to Xbox Live at least once). So there are more than this playing Call of Duty 4, we just can’t track them. For PS3, we pulled MP-numbers only, and it looks like theres approximately 4,381,276 unique users playing PSN (not including SP-only players).

LOL, that Airplane level on veteran is ridiculous.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

I just rented this for the PS3 if anyone wants to get some games in.

umm, this game came out in November 2007. I don't think another patch is coming. unless I missed something.

I think he meant he will play COD 4 until the patch for COD WAW comes out.

Yeah my bad, I meant I will play this until the patch for CoD:WaW patch comes out.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

Has there been a confirmed release date? And what it's fixing?

Not that I know of at the moment.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

I hope it fixes all the glitching that people are doing... most notably on Roundhouse & Castle.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

Also, there seems to be a glitch on Makin in the swamp area where people are hiding inside a rock and they are almost impossible to kill.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

well that's treyarch for you though. I mean, has anyone played the James bond game online? OH MY GOD ITS AWFUL.

I am continually amazed at how bad Treyarch is just piggybacking on IW's technology and work.

To be fair to Treyarch, Activision hires them to make COD games every other year so Infinity ward has more time to perfect their version.
