From hardcore gamers, to casual gamers, Call of duty 4 pleases the entirety of every crowd. How you ask? That's simple, it involves one thing no other game has - Well implemented role-playing elements. I understand fully that other games may have these elements, but are they well implemented and surrounded by a game of great detail and action?
No.
I recently went out and bought Warhawk for the Playstation3 for the sole purpose of being able to play with my friends online at the same time, from the same console. But after a few hours of play, it became dull compared to Call of Duty, and we began taking turns again on Call of Duty. While you CAN edit the colors of your ship, and download many different expansion packs, it always ends thinking "Well that was fun, I just lost a few dollars."
In the terms of maps, Call of Duty still brings in a heavy hitter in that area. Having a large amount of maps already in use, they released a map pack that brought 4 more maps for use in online play. Too bad you can't use these maps when you aren't connected to the internet though. In any case, COD4 still stands out from the crowd here.
COD4's physics are mostly correct. Other than being extremely far away from someone and having a sniper bullet hit them .50 seconds later. Playing in hardcore mode gives you the most realistic experience in any game I have ever played though. Its counterpart, team deathmatch isn't very well-balanced, as juggernaut perk hurts the fun value, just like martyrdom hurts the fun value of hardcore.
One of the very few problems I have with Call of Duty, is the online community. Being unable to mute people while the game is counting down to start is really irritating and should be fixed. People like to play music through their microphones too much.
One other problem is the Single player campaign. It felt sort of thrown together and bland. Not to mention it was extremely short. It made you think Infinity Ward's one and only focus was multiplayer, and single player was there as an extra.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is almost perfect in every way multiplayer-wise. With the addition of an online co-op mode, I'm very confident it would further its lead in the FPS market. If you're on the edge about buying a good multiplayer game, and you don't already have Call of Duty 4, take my word for it, and go get it. Even if it's a 2007 game, it brings intensity and graphical prowess of a late 2008 game.
The original Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 games have been drawing players back in
I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired
Love me some Scarface! I even bought the comics. Yeah, licensing would probably be an impasse.
I played through Scarface again last year and it still holds up. Such a fun game. I would love for Xbox to get the rights back to remaster Scarface and make a sequel. It sold well and they had plans for Scarface 2, 3, and 4. With how long it takes Rockstar to make games the market is wide open.
That game was so much fun. Expected a cheap GTA clone but it was a good drug empire building game.
They didn't just have plans but there's actual gameplay out there for scarface 2
Seriously man we need games like
True crime
Sleeping dogs
Watch dogs( more like original not legion)
And proper saints row
GTA can’t be the only option we need other games
None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is getting a new update today, which will introduce Gunsmith Customs.

I’ll give the devil his due though in that they actually started doing something I was asking for.
Was recently talking about how Days Gone and Warframe had compression patches that shaved up to 20GB off the top. Turns out the latest COD patch dropped me from 175GB down to 166.8. Hey it’s a start lol! Only 66.8 to go ;)

NoobFeed writes - Shooting, a basic mechanic used in a variety of games for decades. And it's still fun but only some developers can create an experience where shooting a weapon for hours can remain entertaining. Here is NoobFeed's best shooter of 2019.
The Division 2? This is gotta be satire. I'm a huge fan of the series but the division 2 deserved no awards, especially best shooter. NEVER GO FULL RETARD
Basically if you don't get addicted to leveling up its just another shooter. Which is exactly what i thought when i played it
Excellent write-up & assessment! I agree with everything you said including the Martydom & Juggernaut perks ruining the hardcore version of the game. The perks system never should have made it into the hardcore playlists. Also, another strike against it is the fact that no one can tell who the host of the game is in a public match?... and the host can't change any settings or maps in any public matches?.... and lastly, there's no ability to kick annoying players from the game when they are being disruptive!
"Too bad you can't use these maps when you aren't connected to the internet though."
I wanted to comment on this part. If you are saying that they have no place in the single player campaign, than yes, you are correct. However, you don't have to be connected to the internet and play online to use these maps. They are available in split screen multiplayer for when your mates come over. Overall, great review!
