Arrow Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Hello, fellow HWF members/guests!

As the title is suggesting, I'm trying to start off a thread for the upcoming (release is cheduled to be tomorrow - the 5th of November) of the very much anticipated COD4:MW. It would be interestning to get some feedback, issues (performance, stability, whatever) and/or anything else you've got to say about it (no reviews, though - there's a dedicated branch in HWF for this purpose).

I'm not really interested in COD4. The COD games are shooters in WW2. But COD4 is completely different. It's something like Ghost Recon or Rainbox Six.
Off Topic:

It's like GTA without the ability to steal cars

I personally liked the previous parts (COD 1-3) because I like WW2 shooters. But the last part is really different.

yeah, but how many times can you do WWII, its been WAY overdone, that said, i think its going to be absolutely sweet, the demo was amazing and i can't wait to pick it up today. On a side note, its going to be sweet, cause its a modern day shooter made by the people who make CoD, so its going to be sweet.

cool. I recommend this to everyone who liked all the prev CODs (for the PC that is, I can't say anything about those console versions).

Yeah, i'm having this issue rate now. For an FPS, there is nothing better than a mouse, but at the same time, i have a lot of "friends i play with over the PS network, so that would be sweet to, i dunno, prolly just end up getting both.

I haven't played it on PC - I've just completed it on PS3 though, my flatmate has it and lent it to me as he was doing some work, only took me about 5 hours to go through the Single-Player mode. There's still the online modes though, so that'll provide a lot of fun if I decide to buy my own copy.

I loved it, I thought it looked amazing, and I was overjoyed when doing the AC130 Spectre Gunship mission that was insane! Looked so real, I did feel a little sadistic when doing it

Yeah, well i decided, when i feel like it, i'm going to get it for the PC. Kinda made up a decision as well, with a game as good as CoD 4, i can't not have the mouse and keyboard for controls. So yeah

it plays okay on mine. medium settings were quite playable.

i don`t know whether it can be run on DX10 - at least I didn`t see any settings or any pointers to DX10 anywhere.

as for running everything maxed out - a system at least twice as good as mine (prob exept for the ram amount - just the speed of it).

I downloaded the demo and i put everything on max and it plays fine only when there are a load of soldiers (20+) attacking does it go really lagy and i have a 7900gs, you can look at the rest of my rig. I think thats really good for a game of such high quality can run so nicely on my rig. The models look so good alot of detail and the maps great too. If i dare say this i think its better then crysis

hmmm, well i finally got it... and i'm a little disappointed. I don't really like the whole rank thing, and most of the maps are really crowded, like very narrow alleyways, and in the roads theres more crap, its crazy. I dunno, maybe its just nostalgia from the previous CoD games but i dunno. Granted the single player campaign was sweet, thats was worth it for sure, as short as it was, i actually played through it twice. That said, they kinda tweaked the controls to, like the aiming system is a little different. To me it doesn't feel as crisp as CoD 2 did. I dunno, maybe i just need to play it more often, but thus far, i prefer CoD 2 over CoD 4.
