Shred... ....Actually I broke three of my extraction tools on your brake pads and i never re-cut your rotors!

I had to call customer service over at GM and they gave me the run around..No one at GM had a clue.. To make things worse they sent me new rotors for a freaking John Deer tractor..Morrons....So if you hear a WAA...WAA..WAA.. noise and then a bang ...you best pull over Partner.

How does Cod 5 compare to Cod 4?

[HammaTime]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I sure don't see much difference between the two, but I've only hopped on for a few minutes here and there.

I've noticed that some of the battles are on Pacific Islands where there are palm trees and the enemy speaks Japanese and carry very big and very pointy swords.

Can't say I've noticed a single thing that is different beyond that.

I think I've reached the point where the same old thing just isn't doing it for me any more.

One thing that drives me nuts is to have an environment built with fake corridors. You HAVE to follow the path the game designers laid out, no flanking the enemy unless the designers want you to flank the enemy. No destructive environment. See that wooden box? Hit it with a howitzer and the damn thing won't move. Try to shoot through slats in floor boards and the bullets bounce off the invisible barrier.

Oh, wow, you can shoot through glass now ... that's so COD2.

This game feels like 2004 all over again.

It's on the same engine. But they basically took a bunch of guys who had obviously never played COD or talked to anyone who had and put them in a room and said "make us a video game". What they came out with was a POS that sounds like it was recorded underwater, bolt action rifles that might as well be rubber band guns, and a dizzying effect sort of like MOH Airborne had. Yes I'll still rape you but man do I really miss cod2...... I give it a 3 out of 10 cuz I'm feeling chipper. I will say all I heard for 2 freaking years was tanks this bigger maps that blah blah blah and I've seen exactly one of those people playing and or in a tank.

[Jack]

dont waste your time with cod5 hamma get arma 2 or flash point 2 or both me and dean could use a good man the tanks in that game are awesome not that im saying you would only use a tank happy turkey day to you as well i hope you had a good one

How does Cod 5 compare to Cod 4?

As Geno said, Cod4 Engine and shitty sound.

However I find it to be a lot more playable than COD4.

The main reason is that not every gun in the game shoots across the entire map for a single shot kill.
What is the point of so many different guns in Cod4? Why would you use a assault rifle when any machine gun with iron sights throws much more lead and can be shot accuratly completly across the biggest map for a kill?

Shooting across the map with a pistol for a 1 shot kill, in Cod4 come on that's just plain stupid.
There is no advantage for using slower weapons to improve accuracy, because they are all deadly accurate!

Everyone plays Hardcore in cod4 mainly because there are so many camping spots that shooting somone with anything less than a sniper rifle and they duck behind cover and get back to full health immediatly.
A health pak system would have helped this game tremendiously.

So in my opinion COD4 it is strictly run and gun or camp and snipe. There is no middle ground it seems.

COD5 at least got the weapons close to having some balance, Yes the bolts need tweaked, and they are not as smooth as COD2, they at least add some dimension that COD4 was missing. You can run and gun a little with the bolt.

The Machine guns in COD5 also are not as overpowering as in cod4, With a bolt I can get into a firefight at a dstance and win. That was not at all the case in COD4.

The tanks are nice, it adds a new dimension to TDM, they seem to be popular and make the teams work together to destroy tanks.

Lastly CTF is back and a hell of a lot of FUN

I guess the execution on the game is a little off and it's not as polished as COD4, but I think it plays a hell of a lot better. If they add a Base Assault expansion pack this would be a great game, because it allows for all skill sets / styles to play with various weapons.

Blitz won't toot his own horn, so I will.
He has done a fantastic job balancing the weapons and the dogs etc. on the BLAM! servers.
Good job my friend.

Stop by and get some, MOBsters. Oh wait, most of you have already.

[Cross of Iron]

I got the game for minicross and he plays it now and then ,but he perfers cod 2 and 4 better.

I won`t even load it on to my rig ,as to me (and this is my opinoin) it looks just like cod4 but with WW2 theme ,and i really hated cod4 .

As for the tanks I have heard that they are slow and cumbersome to say the least ,but I have not played ,or am going to play it just to find out.....I have better things to spend $60 on.....



OHHH Hamma ........WANKER ....can`t do the training EH......LOL

[*Triggahappy13*]

I am not even going to think about buying this game, i've been playing the beta on x box and i reeeeeally dont like the fact that you can get a silencer or apeture sight for most of the weapons. cod2 kicks this games ass

[HammaTime]

Dean, my dear old buddy - you BLOODY wanker! How good of you to drop by. Good to know you are still about and causing a ruckus.

For the record: COD5 TANKS SUCK ROYAL ASS!! They give you a sight, but it serves no purpose, your elevation marks are completely bogus. Just move your target until it glows red. Shoot through the thickest fog when your sight turns red, you know you are landing a kill. COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS. I didn't realize they had such advanced electronics in WWII. Hell, I could even kill a lone infantryman by aiming through heavy smoke and firing when my sight turned red. BULLSHIT!

And it's not just the tanks, my god, try to play just the single player. It will quickly drive you insane. Not only does it sound like you are underwater, they must have paid for Keifer Sutherland's voice-overs by the word and they clearly didn't want to buy many words!

And yes, my chortling cockney-eyed friend, I should have spent the wasted time I put into COD5 into ArmA training. Hell, that time would have been better spent dusting off an old version of Tetris and whiling away a few mind-numbing hours.

Dean, knock Michael aside from his COD5 for a minute and pick up the MP-44. The bastards have destroyed a right fine piece of equipment. Others may disagree, but I think they turned a beautiful killing instrument into a pea-shooter, and an ugly one to boot.

I'm not sure where I am on the whole health-packs vs recovery period debate. It is pretty lame to be in a firefight, hunkered down behind protection, pop up firing away until you've taken a few rounds, then duck down for cover and watch your health suddenly rebound. Obviously this is ideal if you like to camp. Healthpacks at least force the camper to come out of his secure box and do the vampire trick of gulping up his conquest's blood.

I still say Frontlines: Fuel of War was a step in the right direction. Destructible environment, respawn near your squad (which makes the concept of fighting as a squad in a large theater actually possible) have big tanks but provide the tools to completely disable them. It was interesting to play in a mixed environment with helos and jets, but they were so damn hard to operate properly and in reality they really weren't fun. Frontlines suffered because they didn't have the big bucks like those behind a COD production. The maps kind of reminded me of the first edition of Tuchola Forest when we still had big gaps in the mesh. Not quite ready for prime time.

And, now what? Return to UO?? Maybe I'll go play some Crysis to put me in a better mood.
