2007-06-14 06:21:00 IGN (COD4 greater graphical feat than Gears of War) http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/796/796052p1.html It's fair to say that what we saw of Call of Duty 4 was a greater graphical feat than Epic's Gears of War. At one point you may step into a barn, look up and see beams of sunlight breaking in through the cracks. You'll see dust particles in the air, though that's not nearly as impressive as the smoke trail from a rocket launcher. The sun can rise or set during a level with realistic lighting effects so that the transition from dusk to dawn appears natural. There's impressive damage modeling on derelict cars; you can waste some bullets shooting out tires or toss a grenade and blow the doors off. Walk past a hill of burning trash and you'll see not only smoke, but debris floating in the air. The stunning backgrounds are actually matte paintings, just as would be used in a movie. As for the characters, each has full self-shadowing and a level of detail never-before-seen in Call of Duty. Get close to a soldier and you can actually read the time on his watch. Once you know it's not time for bacon and eggs, you can cast your eyes on the uniform and its rich level of detail. Breathe down the neck of a U.S. Marine and you will see realistic-looking flesh. You might even see them sweat. More impressive is that all of this works in a frantic environment. The chaos of modern warfare has AI Marines screaming ooh-rah as gunfire echoes through the ruins of a Middle Eastern city. There are explosions left and right, enemies around every corner, helicopters spinning out of control and crashing in a fiery wreck. And all of it happens at 60 frames per second. --- |

2007-06-14 11:02:24 Posted by GameSpot In terms of community, Modern Warfare will introduce a Halo-style party system that will make playing with your friends a lot easier. Best of all, the multiplayer graphics look as good as the single-player. There's no sacrifice in graphical quality that we could see, and it's quite possibly the prettiest multiplayer gameplay that we've ever seen. |

Anyone else know? I'm not too concerned w/ the match making, since I'm gonna play it on Windows, but that is great news for console gamers. Sounds like they're paying a lot more attention to the online mode this time around. |

Anyone who even thinks they like shooters is going to need to play this game. I'm not too concerned w/ the match making, since I'm gonna play it on Windows, but that is great news for console gamers.

bleachedsmiles anybody remember unreal tournaments answer to couter-strike? i think it was a mod called special forces? I remember liking it (45 minutes ago) -
Slabs Infantry in FFOW is alright as long as you're a bazooka dude. (49 minutes ago) -
Doom_Bringer @GriftGFX: I played the demo long time ago :P Any for me Dice > IW, the only great game IW made was Medal of Honor Allied Assualt and that's it. I don't care about them, never will! (50 minutes ago) -
GriftGFX Yea but you also said the infantry combat in FFOW was good.. and it blows :P (53 minutes ago) -
Doom_Bringer @digi_matrix: yea the demo I played was awful...but that was single player. I was in the beta for WaW and didn't like it...felt like counter strike + unreal tournament (movement is too fast) (55 minutes ago)

GriftGFX @digi_matrix: Controls... better... Halo? Does not compute. (56 minutes ago)

Burglarize Definitely agree on the Counterstrike comment. Damn I used to love that game. Ruined my sleeping pattern for the entirety of my school life. (57 minutes ago)
