Cally of Duty 4

Ok - so Call of Duty 1 was a good game. CoD 2 was also great.

CoD3 was lame. From what I hear, it was a lousy game anyway, and it never came to PC - so I never played it.

So when CoD4 came out - I figured I'd give it a miss. There are too many games to ever play them all.

And Cod4 was no longer set in WWII, it was set in the current era. That just felt wrong. CoD was a World War II game - how could it be anything else? It would be like a Jurassic Park movie without dinosaurs.

Ah - how wrong I was.

Thanks to the LANs at Johns, I've been forced to play it now. And it is brilliant.

Not without it's flaws (single player can end up being just a duck-shoot where you keep gunning down infinite respawning enemies) but it has brilliance enough to over-come them.

Multiplayer is fantastic - and Single player is epic. The first single player mission just blew my mind.

It feels more like a movie than most movies I've seen lately.

So after playing it at a second Martianleader LAN (on the weekend) I decided I had to own this game. Partly just cause it's brilliant. But also because everyone else has had more practice at it, and have unlocked better weapons etc.

It still costs over $100 at EBGames - but I was able to snag it on ebay for half price (brand new) from a local seller. None of this Honk Kong business. And postage was quick - it arrived today!

It's Axon LAN next weekend, so I'd better go and get some practice.....

drrrrr....

But just a reminder when you format. don't just backup the profile files. uninstall the game first, and say keep save game files.

If you don't do this, you'll end up loosing your 55 level profile. which is a pain. But then again, its fun doing it all over again. second time around, i got the first sniper rifle (which is the best in the game, the others look better, but the first one is the most powerful and best to use (you'll find that out later)) Anyway, upgraded that, with the second sniper scope. which is short range and you don't hold your breath. and my god! its a beast! its like a rail gun. I was like level 25 or something while usually you don't get that until level 50. kicked ass!

but ive gotton  a bit bored and been playing Oblivion.

Oh second thing, got my server together now, it isn't up and running as yet, came into a slight problem. the motherboard im using isn't exactly new, it seems (i think) to only like IDE or Sata, not both at the same time. i think it was one of the first with sata on it.

So i've got 4x2 port sata cards, and 2 more sata cards on this motherboard. so i can have up to 10 hard drives running. For now i'll have 4 running, but i can expand any time. Also, when i upgrade my computer i'm using now in the future, i could change motherboards and then use up to 16 sata hard drives, plus 2 IDE hard drives. 18 hard drives for crying out loud! thats insane!

oh i'm going to be running fedora 9 with DC++ as for sharing files.  Gigabit ethernet out and internet will be on standard 10/100. :)

(thinking i might need a more powerful power supply, but i'll see how this one goes first)

I was planning to back up the profiles folder - so that's good advice (although now I dont know how to back it up if I dont uninstall it).

I had been playing as my friend's account because I'd installed it at the LAN (you dont need the DVD to play multiplayer) and when mine turned up, I just changed cd key - but it then lost my profile!

I had played it enough to unlock the Last Stand. After falling victim to it so many times at the LAN (I thought I'd killed you already!) I was quite excited to reach it just as I finished at the LAN - and then I lost it before I started playing online!

I've reached it again now. Currently spending most of my time in the KillHouse with the SAW. Man that level is frantic when you have 25 people crammed in there. Lots of chances to get kills and move up the ranks. You never stay alive long though.

yer, backing up, you'd have to uninstall it, copy the game files, and then install it again. only way. sorry. google it if you like.

As for last stance, yep its ok, but there is loads better things, just don't use exploding your self when you get shot. Specailly if friendly fire is on, otherwise you blow up half your team mates online and get booted from the game.

i like silent foot print, and mines mostly. cant remember all of them, i'll play again when i get home, maybe we can join the same server, haven't played in ages, so i won't be super good. i can show you some secrets, for example getting on top of roofs and snipering which rocks! :P

$20 from Toyworld Devonport.

Not often you find a realisticly sized gun - so I was pretty impressed.

The only reason it would sound stupid is because you havent played it. If you played it and didnt like it as much as JK2JO then that would be completely acceptible (even if not many other people agreed with you).

The idea of a modern day shooter might not appeal as much as the Star Wars one too - which is far enough.

But before you decide - have you seen anyone play Cod4 (or played it yourself)?

If you havent seen it in action - check out this low-res video of the first mission.

airstrikes are amazing in the game, and the helicopter is pretty dam cool. except i perfer a airstrike then a helicopter.

Done this twice playing multiplayer. its hard to do, but killing the whole team with an airstrike, which gives you another airstrike to kill the whole team again hahah. but after that, i instead got a helicopter. not another airstrike :(
