Gaming Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Is there any VOIP in the MP? Squad based preferably!

 

yes, but i've not found many servers that have it turned on yet. Also, there's a perk where you can listen into enemy's voip comms

 

Those of you with dual core processors will be able to tell me this, does this game use both cores, or just one? I only ask because the specs for the game recommend a dual core processor.

I'm so jealous! I can't run this on my current rig. Got to wait until January/February before I can build my new one!

Can't wait!

Im off to the shop to buy this now. Don't think i'll get much work done today.

 

as there is no friend list support (unlike the xbox360 ver) no one is going to use it as most use Xfire / TS, so the Perk for voip is mostly useless on the pc ver of COD4

Server list sucks allot

any one with problems with connecting to an server mite want to try forwarding port 28960 (UDP/TCP) i found allot of servers time out with out it, but it should not be necessary to join an server

 

I know the review said this game was highly scalable with regards to its graphical settings but does anyone know if it can run with an X800 Pro (Pixel Shader 2 I think and about 3 or 4 yrs old)?

 

I imagine it would run on low, maybe scraping medium.

 

small error:

Good review.

 

I loved this game. Some levels I played, only to think later on that it was a movie I was remembering back to... and then realising, no... it was a game. Definitely one of the more memorable gaming experiences I've had recently on the PC.

 

I've just gotten a copy...

Hopefully my 3 year old X800 XL will cut the mustard for a short while till I get a 3850..

 

Hey Mankz - let me know if your X800 can run the game, even if its at low settings, I've been asked by a friend at work if it can run it and I don't have a copy of the game myself yet to try it. I looked at the specs on the case but it didn't help - I'm fairly sure the X800 was released just before Pixel Shader 3.0 became the norm so I presume that it will be PS 2.0.

 

According to the box, minimum ATI card is a 9800 Pro, which means SM2.0 so my X800 SHOULD hopefully work.

 

Well, beat it in ~ 5 hours on friday, and I have to say it is one of the best games Ive ever played..

The graphics are immense
The gameplay is fulid and fun
The AI are smart
and its very realistic..

My X800 was fine with no AA/AF @1280x1024 and never spluttered..

 

looks to be a better game then i expected. i didn't like cod3. The single player was stupid and easy and the multiplayer was totaly frustrating. Is it just going to be the same in a modern time or has it changed?

 

This is one of the most annoying games I've ever played. The difficulty jumps about like a frog on steroids. One minute I'm happily gunning down the tangos, the next I can't seem to stay alive. I must have just spent the last hour doing the same 5 minutes over and over again.

The AI is bloody stupid and the game is broken. If a grenade goes off near your teammates they don't die, but if you are anywhere near it you'll be having to reload the game. My teammates are constantly blocking me. If I position myself next to a teammate I get killed in seconds because they aren't in cover. The tangos just seem to ignore them and shoot at me.

Rubbish game.

 

Gues that answers my question then. cod3 in the future with nicer graphics. Same thing. All of the cods were the same really, i dont udnerstand why people rave over them so much.

 

I'm taking the game back and getting it replaced with something else.

 

I never had any trouble like that. Team mates moved out of my way and the difficulty did spoke occasionally, but nothing extreme. Just the helicopter that kept pissing me off really and as long as you play tactically it's pretty good.

I've been playing the DS version too. Not worth the cash really, but a fun enough endeavour.

 

So bloody true peace of crap and going back on Tuesday, no matter what I do on a par the enemy jsut ****ing pops up in fron tof me with a shot gun because of teh gay spawn, and the fact on veteran it's a peace of piss at one point and then all of a sudden they don't die and you constantly have to retry it.

Also the fact the check points are so inconsistent, unless you go the route thye want you don't get any checkpoint's so you could go really far, get no check oints and die whereas some stupid pratt goes a little bit the way they want and gets a checkpoint.

Nice looking game, i'm away back to Halo and getting assasins creed instead.

 

I'm on the bit where you are a sniper and you're waiting for big bird to get to the landing zone whilst you are trying to fight off an unlimited supply of enemies (mission 11). No matter what you do they keep coming. If you reload, you're toast. If you get flash banged, you're toast. Even when the chopper lands you've still got to pick up your leader and carry him on whilst under fire!!! ARGH.
