Pretty flashy trailer. Doesn't look any better than what I've seen so far in other futuristic shooters (BF 2142 for example). Who knows though. Maybe it'll be awesome.

id say element knows his shit more than any of you "WERE IZ DA WII VERSHION?!?!" minions

Then dont' look above.

I don't get it... Why are you comparing the COD2 trailer (PC footage) to COD2 console screens?

Because we're talking about the trailer to a console game (CoD4)... aren't we?

Would you prefer some more? Dude, the game lacks AA/AF on consoles, and likely always will, what do you expect? Bullshots?

That's like comparing Donkey Kong Country SNES footage to Donkey Kong Land GB screens and saying: "It won't look end up looking like that you know"

If it looks that good, does it even matter what engine they are using? Seriously...
I'm just curious. They'd have to modify it a heck of a lot to get it to this level :eek:

while the graphics might not be a HUGE leap from COD2, COD3, they're improved enough with the lighting. look great. I like the Soviet/Russian/European and pehaps Central Asian (?) theme.

PC, Xbox 360, PS3 right ?

ahh i guess i am wrong :( but I'm going off what IW guys told me. I guess they view it like Valve views their code. legally it has code from previous tech, but it doesn't really hold that much in common at this point. I'll take the mulligan on this one...

No worries. As I said, to be fair to both parties, they DID modify some aspects of the Q3Arena engine, so some of it IS their own work. But then, most third parties do modify that aging engine when they use it nowadays. Doesn't change the fact that the core of the work is iD's engine, though.

Simple. Wii has proven it sucks for shooters. Therefore, instead of making one, don't.

Simple math, no?

Simple questions:
1) Do you actually consider analog sticks accurate?
2) How are you still around?
3) Do you work for 1up?

It's a good thing Infinity Ward cares about the real man's gaming system, so those of us who have evolved beyond the console wars can play what will no doubt be the definitive PC version.

wmv and mp4 versions online in a few minutes.


YAY!!! Hey Blim are people having trouble downloading the MP4 to their PS3s? Because I am. It just loads and loads and loads without going to the PS3 download screen.

Is this happening with your PS3?

That's an actual shot from the 360 version. My PC version looks better, obviously, due to applied AA/AF and resolution increases. But the console versions won't have AF/FSAA so I just thought I'd post what to expect (obviously it'll look better than that, but this modified Q3 engine for consoles is still just that).

Actually that shot is from the PC version running the DX8 renderer. Nice try though.

So can you play as the Russian SPETNAZ? British SAS? United States Army Rangers?

There was some russian sounding voiceovers early on, including the "this game is not yet rated" bit so it's definitely a possibility.

I was gonna come in here and bitch about how we don't need anymore stupid WW2 shooters. But this game is not about WW2...! Thank you Infinity Ward. :)

I liked the trailer, but I thought graphically it looked "ok".

Wasn't too impressed with the graphics, seems like way too much normal mapping going on.

I love the setting though and overall it was a really well done trailer.

looks ok, but reminds a lot on GRAW 1/2. seriously, first person shooters are getting more and more boring these days...

at least its no WW2 oder bald space marine game.

Will first person shooters stop being made worthless by being geared to consoles?

When they start out selling consoles on a regular basis.
 
After the mess that was COD3 on Wii I'm actually not too disappointed this won't come to Wii.

I would much rather a built-up for Wii FPS.

Some parts of it look great, while some ..aren't. Waiting for a gameplay trailer and impressions on this one.

Like Red Steel right?

CGI bullshit is the death knell of cinema
It is looking good, can't wait till we see a more indepth look at the game.

Looking foward to the PC version, mainly for the controls.
 
jj984jj said:

Well, I enjoyed Red Steel despite it's glaring imperfections. I'll give Ubisoft some lenience simply because of the fact that it was a launch title and an ambitious effort for a new and unique control sceme.
 
Well I hope they bring this back to CoD/United Offensive quality. But I guess that's just too hardcore nowadays. Halo recharging health FTL.

Trailer looked OK but I guess "war" on terror games will get played out as well in a short time. The setting really didn't do all that much too me. Glad it's not WW2 again though.

Oh and make the single player campaign last longer this time, thx.

This thread is a disaster. Half of the posts are from elitist PC gaming pricks or Wii Wagglers. You folks need to understand that getting either a XBOX 360 or PS3 is going to be necessary this gen.

So, where are we playing ? Lebanon ? Palestina ? Afghanistan ?

I see Arabic writings, typical Arabic houses, palm trees, loads of sand and dust. Can't be Eastern-Europe as some here are saying.

Pretty much!

Time to treat the Call of Duty series like Splinter Cell. Buy them every other year when the A team is on the job.

It's a damn shame Activision just doesn't drop Treyarch from this brand. Let them focus on Bond instead. Maybe alternate Bond and COD every other year. Atleast that way it'll give 2 years between games which is perfectly fine.

COD4 - 2007
Bond - 2008
COD5 (Vietnam) - 2009
Bond 2 - 2010

Middle East urban combat is getting old too...
Desert Strike (BF1942 Mod), BF2, MGS4 and that FPS game that wants to be like 'Gran Turismo, but for guns'

Wasn't the leading SKU of COD4 the PC like COD2 and unlike COD3?

I ask.
Yes
 
Some parts look great and some parts look mediocre. But this is far from complete and IF will not dissapiont us.

Got a good vibe from it.
