Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

How is the single player campaign in the game? I'm trying to pick between this and Kane & Lynch for next week.

Same here. The helicopter left me as I was running back towards it with him. I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!". Had to do it over.

That section was really tough. One thing I did that helped me greatly was immediately trade my pistol for one of the enemies' dropped weapons. As soon as they start to overwhelm me, I hide behind the bumper cars track, use it as cover, and then snipe or switch to the machine gun if they get too close. Only way I was able to pass it.

As for the headshot, your teammate will be standing there, and you hear a pop and blood explodes and he hits the deck fast. It's pretty cool, and blood stains the walls if they are near some.
It happened last night in MP, and it was just awesome to be next to it.

Nice! I am sure it's happened when I was playing, I probably just didn't notice.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

Cool Goodies
I LOVE the kill cam. There are some insane moments you get to see. I had one were I ran into a room and right when I rounded the corner I got a shank in the chest. So the cam comes on and I see this guy runs into the room, there is two of our team guys in there. The enemy guy(that killed me) opens up and backs away out the room. He had DEEP IMPACT and started unloading on the walls. Dropping both guys. He then runs back in the room right when I round the corner I am in his face and he stabs me in the chest. Then the cam went off. But it is amazing some of the kills you get to witness.

Fun round
I LOVE the sniper suit aswell. I was playing a FREE FOR ALL, with around 8 people two nights ago. I choose the sniper with a woodland camo sniper rifle. I went and laid down near some debris that was laying in the grass. I picked my shots carfully as people were battling it out in the streets. BOOM, I would drop one. Couple of them must of saw me on the kill cam but could not locate me. They would run over in my direction but run right on by me or almost step on me and I would drop them with a few well placed silenced pistol rounds. I did this all match and had a excellent kill to death rating. 25 kills - 1 death.

It is cool to just see a sniper stand up out the grass just a few feet from you and you NEVER knew he was there.

Weapons
My favorite weapon so far is the AK47. It has excellent knockdown power. Once you learn to control the kick it is a mean medium range weapon. Combine it with the Silencer or red dot sight.

Ak47 - Silencer or Red dot (no ACOG yet

Deep Impact
Smoke nades (I been getting out of tough spots with these)
Extra bullet damage

This equals one hell of a punch.

M4 runs a close second.

Dislikes
My ONLY complaint with multiplayer is something I understand WHY it was done.

I don't like how the spawns switch. It is hard to setup good choke points. I understand they did this to prevent spawn rape. But the bad side is you can set up a nice well front line with your team and then the start spawning behind you and everything goes to hell then. So it becomes this big massive free for all team game. My only complaint, but it might be a server side thing. I have yet to host a game and see the options.

Small dislike

Bottom Line
AMAZING Intense Action single player
Best Multiplayer I have ever played (my opinion)

That is a freakin' awesome single-player level in which you are operating the different weapons in a Gunship. The graphics for the level are through the perspective of the weapons' camera system and it looks borderline realistic (if you've seen this type of footage before). The chatter over the radio is also fantastic and adds to the authentic feel of the level. Great, great level. Very different from what we are used to seeing from this series.

Death from above is a single player level. You'll know when you play it. It's awesome.

That level is a top 3 level in all of my gaming. That was just awesome. Anyone else just waste rounds blowing up cars and trees while waiting for the guys to run? Just incredible.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

I am so hook on the game. I went home for lunch today and played my entire lunch break. Never even ate. First time I have ever done that. I normally go home and eat then chill on the couch.

I just got to death from above. I saved and quit and had to come back to work so I am going to play it tonight

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

I'll think I'll go pick it up today if I can swing by a Best Buy and use a few gift cards. No rush to pick it up though, too many good games out/releasing soon.

That sounds like you had a fun round. I need to try that. I love camo a sniper usues though. I never really watch the kill cam, I just hit x and respawn, might start doing it more often. Only time I do, is when i am picked off over and over and don't know where.

I see. I thought it was another perk.

I feel sorry for who ever misses this title. It is one of the best experience in gaming history. It will set a standard for camera work and cinema look. It truly is like you are in a big blockbuster movie. This is how single player should look. It draws you in BIG TIME.

Multiplayer is by far the most fun I have in a very very long time.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

After playing so much of the beta though, some of us already know what to expect.

You guys are just finding out about that joy now.

I'm really interested in Hardcore mode. Want to try it out badly!

I am on PC (mod reasons). The kill cam comes up auto after you die

I have a 360 but went with PC for control issues (mouse/keyboard) and the mod scene
