I find myself fighting through a town I couldn't get to in real life! That would be the town of Pripyat! I won't spoil the game for those that might be thinking about buying or renting it but I will tell you it is more difficult than previous Call of Duty games I've played. Maneuvering through the town was pretty cool. If I make it back to the meet scheduled for this year I wonder if they did a good enough job that I will feel a sense of Deja Vu? It was cool to fight there though!

Quoting Miamiair (Reply 3): Now you have to play it on-line. That is where the fun begins.
I've tried on line play before and just can't get into it. It's like flight sims. Without that peripheral vision the whole thing loses a lot of its effect. Plus I like knowing who I'm playing with even if only for a few minutes. It helps to know the personality so you can estimate what they they will do.
Yup. Finished all the levels. Trick to that, when you come off the rope, you will run and bear left. THere will be a small grassy area to your right. Kneel and take out a couple of troops and then shag ass through them, bearing to the right into an apartment bulding...

Quoting RJdxer (Reply 7): Quoting BCAInfoSys (Reply 6):
You clear the extraction yet?
Nope and I'm getting my ass kicked. I did pick off one of the guys just exiting the helicopter on the rope, that was cool.
Yeah.. that's a bitch of a level. It took me 3 or 4 sessions to totally beat it; ~4 hours to beat it on Veteran. That level is probably one of the toughest I've ever played, on any game. Veteran took a whole lot of patience/determination..
If you want my advice on that level, it's the same that I gave to Vic. Pick off as many guys as you can from some cover near the Ferris Wheel. When that gets a little tough, move to the corner of the stage which faces the Wheel. You can use that for a while; it has some protection and good firing visibility. Lastly, when that gets a little tough; fall around to the back of the stage. You can pick guys off through the railing, and no baddies spawn in behind you; so you can focus on the front. (Be sure to listen though as a few dogs tend to sneak up on you back there.)

The sniper shot was a pain in the ass. Took my almost 50 attempts before I got it right. Great game.

Hmmm... I've heard that a lot. On my first run through (on Normal), I got it the first try. When I tried it in Veteran however, it took me 10-20 tries.

My brother got a 360 and Call of Duty 4 for Christmas. I played it a bit and the graphics are awesome, the story is good too. I love the part where you carry the top half of the Major around, very realistic.

The scenery in the Chernobyl level is pretty amazing, they even modeled in that famous empty swimming pool and stuff like that.
COD4 is alot harder than 2 or 3 no question. I'm on the level where you have to take out the 4 tanks then run back down the hill to get to the LZ in time. Damn hard level.

I made it on the first attempt, just have to anticipate when the flag is going to die down.
I finished it last night. It was kind of short compared to the ones before. On top of that they had 3 stories running concurrently before, this time only two and they killed off one of those. Maybe because of the graphics efforts? The first encounter reminded me too much of a SOCAL game, almost a copy in fact. I'm going to give it a whack on veteran in a few days to make it a bit harder since my memory is still fresh. The hardest part I had was the extraction scene in Pripyat, I lost count at how many tries it took. I kept getting myself picked off from behind.

After you set Mac down next to the tree and you get his Claymores, shag ass and place them along the likely approaches. I get back and get about 10 meters from Mac on the small rise. The BG's won't come in behind you, but you have to watch your right flank.

Well no kidding, but the claymores are one shot deals.

If it wasn't from the dodgem cars it was directly across the Ferris wheel. I finally went to the dodgems and hid out behind the cars while picking off the advancing bad guys with enfilade fire. When the extraction chopper set down I retrieved the captian and hoofed it around the Ferris wheel and into the chopper.

The other thing about the claymores, on the way to the pick up the cpt had you place a claymore in front of a door, just before the encounter with the helicopter. Claymores were not designed for inside use. The back blast at close range can kill. My training with claymores was that they were to be used when you were pretty sure you would have a group of enemy in the kill zone. Hence at the pick point, placing them in the obvious lanes of advance is a good idea, but if only one soldier is in the kill zone when it remotely goes off, it's a pretty big waste of explosive.

I cant wait until my sons grade report comes out at the semester end ! If he made the grade in math/science we are nailing the PS3 and of course COD 4 !
Game sounds awsome RJ , good luck
You dig the hole .. I fill the hole . 100% employment !
25 Go3Team: I bought a Xbox 360 so I could play this online with some people. Awesome game. Xbox Live needs to do a little work to their servers...
26 Miamiair: The real McCoy has a back blast, just forgot how much. I didn't waste my time planting one by the door. You're going to get hosed anyways. There's an
27 Jamesbaldwyn: I'm probably going to buy it as well. Although, they should of given it a different name or something as I see Call Of Duty as a WW2 kinda game...
28 Boeing4ever: Anyone else thought this was kinda funny? Your son works hard all semester, gets that shiny PS3, and can't play it cuz daddy's stuck on the sniper in
29 JFKTOWERFAN: The best part of this game is the AC-130 gunner, I played that over and over. I can't get into the multiplayer though, just not as good as Battlefield
30 BCAInfoSys: I disagree 100%. The multiplayer is freaking amazing. The mixture of the challenges, unlockable weapons, etc. makes it the best multiplayer game out
31 Miamiair: You're on the money Steve. I've been playing more online, and it is getting habit forming. Though it sucks sometimes when you're waiting for a game t
32 BCAInfoSys: It really can. I just can't help myself. I have done the "Prestige" mode where you rollover your challenges and whatnot. It basically just gives you
33 A380US: is call of duty 4 or any other one out on psp?
34 BCAInfoSys: COD4 is out for the PSP, but I can't imagine a handheld game experience being anywhere close to that of a console or PC.
35 Miamiair: I am only on 12. So I stick to the SAW, and pick up an M60 when I can find one. I need to play more to get the goodies. I have to share the TV time i
36 BCAInfoSys: When you're that low, I've found the M16A3 to be a good heavy hitter, but the lack of full auto is pretty big drawback. The M4 carbine should be unlo
37 BCAInfoSys: So it looks like you have the M4 Carbine unlocked already; give it a whirl and let me know what you think. As far as MG's go, I've found that the RPD
39 RJdxer: Yeah that was another one I had to chuckle at. I was out of the service just prior to the Blackhawks intro but a friend of mine who served as a crew
40 AGM100: Ya right , he will probably make it though the game in 1 evening the way these kids do it . ! He has blasted though every MOH and COD faster than me
41 Dan2002: Finished the game yesterday, those last few missions were pretty hectic. Getting into the control room was one of the hardest levels i've ever played
42 Miamiair: Why does it take so long for a match to get started? Is there any way to speed up the process?
43 BCAInfoSys: Sounds like a PS3 online issue. With the 360, I'm usually in a lobby and playing within 1-2 minutes, tops.
44 Miamiair: It was. The online games are pure gas. Screwed up thing is when you run into a clan with comms; I got wasted at least 20 times. Must get the Bluetooth
45 BCAInfoSys: Yeah, the headsets can make a difference. I don't know about the PS3 version, but the 360 version just got a patch a little while ago which created a
46 Miamiair: I pick them up every time I see them. I have been sticking to the M-4. My best streak so far was 12 kills with 1 death. I like the Claymores more tha
47 YOWza: It's a great game. Too bad our 360 at work is MIA. YOWza
48 BCAInfoSys: The RPG's are pretty useless against enemies. I don't even bother with them for choppers. If you're near a mounted machine gun, get on that and rock
50 OHLHD: Call of Duty is one hell of a game! I have played it online now for several nights and it is really getting better and better!
51 Miamiair: My wife is figuring out how to spill acid on it or short it out.
52 OHLHD: My girlfriend is heading for ZRH tomorrow early morning that means playing till Sunday evening ( I am of this weekend). I guess she didn´t believe m
53 BCAInfoSys: I have to wait til the wife's asleep or play while she's working. She's got this crazy idea that she's fighting the XBOX for my attention.
