LOL. Fair enough.

I did watch some youtube videos of TF2 and yeah, it is completely different from classes in COD. I tried TF1 way back in 2000 and hated it, but the Orange Box is such a good deal I'll probably give it another shot.

TFC was awesome back in the day. I played the hell out of that game for a LONG time. The mod community made the game a ton better also.

Just played a few rounds, and 75% of the people in the game went from level 16 to 17 after the first round. The perk level 17 unlocks is 'matyrdom' - aka 'the anti-teabag' - which drops a live grenade every time you die. I picked up some grenade kills pretty quickly, though the perk doesn't net you as many kills as you might expect. It was funny though because nearly everyone turned it on to try it out in my game and there were explosions everywhere.

Only 2 more weeks. This game is definitely gonna be my go-to shooter the next few months.

Heres 'The Verdict':

+ Awesome moments on literally every mission.

+Multiplayer quality, quantity, and depth that rivals Halo's.

- A few frustratingly tough areas on the higher difficulty levels.

The last paragraph:

Simply put, COD 4 does everything right and nearly nothing wrong. But where it elevates itself above even the best 360 shooters is how all of the good stuff is ludicrously good. The campaign never lets up, while multiplayer is a triple-A affair in itself. Infinity Ward's enthusiasm for being freed of World War II shines through every moment of gameplay, and this swing for the fences has belted COD 4 way out of the park.

Out of the box, COD 4 has a stunning 13 matchmaking playlists on XBL, 16 MP maps out of the box, 55 ranks, a hardcore 'one shot, one kill' mode, tweaking of the 'last stand' perk making it more reasonable and fair, great graphics, 60fps gameplay, and I'm off the charts for this one!

That's what struck me about COD4 Beta, and for that matter COD1 on PC by Infiniti Ward and Halo 3. It's not that something new hits you in the face, it's just that every little detail is done so well.

Otherwise, stop it Teal!!

Looking forward to it

DEFINITELY my next 360 purchase!

TheTruth · Post by **TheTruth** » Wed Oct 24, 2007 10:07 am

Awesome! I like the sound of the hardcore mode. Definitely a day 1 purchase for me.

webdanzer · Post by **webdanzer** » Wed Oct 24, 2007 10:47 am

Day one for me as well. Beta was highly impressive, and this sounds great.

This has the potential to be the biggest-room DSP shooter that we've had in a while, I think.

Slumberland · Post by **Slumberland** » Wed Oct 24, 2007 10:53 am

Sounds great... I agree that it will be huge around here.

James_E · Post by **James_E** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 9:08 am

So... everyone still thinking this will be a long-lasting shooter for DSP folk? Who here is guaranteed to get it at first, and probably keep it?

Slumberland · Post by **Slumberland** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 10:18 am

Yes. I missed out on the beta, but this is a day one buy for me. Hell, I played Battlefield for the 360 ad nauseum. This has to be better.

mixdj1 · Post by **mixdj1** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 7:20 pm

Day one for me as well. I had a blast with the beta and can't wait to jump back in next week. Unlike Teal I'll still be playing Halo a couple nights a week

but this will be my main shooter starting next week.

I'm shooter monogamous come next week!

Well, probably not, but Halo will get awfully lonely, as will most of my other games...

Does COD 4 feature the party system for multiplayer games?

Yes it does.

I'm looking forward to this one as well. I didn't get a chance to play the beta much but it was fun.

Just getting into private rooms will make the multiplayer worth it (the randoms killed the beta, IMO). That "one shot, one kill" mode sounds awesome as I prefer the more realistic slant of GRAW and other similar shooters as opposed to Halo.

Can't wait!

Nozzleman_216 · Post by **Nozzleman_216** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 9:23 pm

I am not so sure about the 1 shot 1 kill mode. If its exactly like it sounds then that is a little overboard IMO. I heard there was a hardcore mode (haven't read about it unless it turned out to be that 1 shot crap) where there is no perks or radar and its not respawn. Now thats my game type, SOCOM style baby!

Naples39 · Post by **Naples39** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 9:36 pm

I would definitely try the one-hit kill mode. Takes me back as that was me and my friends' preferred method of play way back when with Goldeneye.

From my understanding, the hardcore mode is precisely what you've described in the second part of this. It's what I'm hyped about the most, actually. No perks, no radar, no respawn...awww, yeah...

I'm probably in the minority here, but I actually enjoyed how it played in the beta, with a mix of teamwork and tactics and a faster-than-GRAW pace.

I'm actually hoping that mix is what keeps it alive here, and not dying out like the GRAWs and R6s.
