IGN: Call of Duty 4 PS3 Multiplayer Hands-On and Videos

IGN went hands-on with the PlayStation 3 version of Call of Duty 4 and seen new maps, new modes and plenty of bullets:

"Many curious how Infinity Ward's soon-to-release shooter will play have likely already answered that question for themselves. Xbox 360 owners had the opportunity to play in a rather long-running beta, PC gamers got a single-player demo, and PS3 owners got nothing...awkward. Our latest play session with the game, checking out a new multiplayer map and mode, was with yet-to-be widely seen PS3 version. Not surprisingly, it played almost exactly like the Xbox 360 version. We say almost because we were using a SIXAXIS instead of an Xbox 360 controller, but the gameplay was more or less identical. We'd make graphical comparisons, but there was no Xbox 360 version nearby with which to match up to, and the PC version's multiplayer wasn't on display."

dam lovin it

[Douche]

These vids were a bit crappy. I'd like to see some high-res versions. COD4 is a great game. I don't think that it is what everyone cracks it up to be. But I still think it is gonna be awesome to own and play. But I wouldn't go so far as to put this up on a pedastool when compared to other games that some people fail to admit as greater. *cough* Killzone 2 *cough*

[marinelife9]

Can I get a multiplayer game where some doors aren't permanently nailed shut so that even with a shotgun I can't enter them?

[C_SoL]

should i get this or uncharted???

[Violater]

I'm at work, someone tell me how it looks and what to think of it.

[Sam Fisher]

they once said can go against the callaso match making of halo 3 and can beat it.... i played the beta and it was good not exellent but great

[mighty_douche]

looks just like the 360 version and IMO just (JUST) behind the pc. gonna be a kick ass game regardless which platform you choose.

have fun at work! i just finished muhahaha...

[Sam Fisher]

to describe it would be "fun"

[AnalFace]

Hmmm, the best version, i might buy this....

[THC CELL]

ps3 ftw on this call of duty

[power091999]

I played the Beta on 360 and REALLY enjoyed it. It is a lot of fun.

I am up in the air about what cosole I want to get it on though. I prefer the 360 controller for FPS's.

However I like the weight of the PS3 controller.

Either way this game is going to be a lot of fun multiplayer.

[gamehendge]

"With that said, the console similarities end when it comes to textures, lighting and resolutions, because those three areas make the PlayStation 3 version definitely excel over the Xbox 360 SKU."

go with the PS3 version unless the 360 controller is a must.

[jiggyjay]

Get the 360 version because it will have better online.. achievements and better graphics! don't listen to that PS3 fanboy up top!

[Hatchetforce]

By backtracking of other videos on IGN and looking you will notice some severely bad mipmapping in 360 videos. For example look at the one marked "Search and Destroy". Very noticeable at the 14 second mark as you approach the doorway and the brick textures begin to pop into view. And that is just one of several graphical issues.

Sorry you are not jiggy with it jiggy, but any damn fool can look at the lighting in the new videos and see the truth. Fanboy blinders won't help either.

[C_SoL]

see the reviews then choose...5.2 your an idiot. let the man choose.

[Neurotoxin]

Hmmmmmm.......... I think this will replace my many boring nights of solitude with some meaningful carnage.

Looks Excellent.

[MikeGdaGod]

i'm really hoping this game lives up to all expectations cause this might be the only FPS i get this year.

[TeaDouble_E]

I remember when I played Halo 2 on Xbox live I had alot of fun but I haven't played any Call of Duty games. I still haven't decided if I should get this, should I get it ?

Edit: WTF why did I get a disagree, for what !!!

[predator]

doubt it as halo 3 is prob the best multiplayer fun you will get for a long time

[QUNE]

I prefer to shoot people with a 12" to 24" vertical jump rather than a 60" to 108" vertical.

[mesh1]

halo3 has more game play dept that this game but this game has better grapics and better rank system than halo 3 but none of them come close to the gun play of counter strike source which i had hoped cod4 wud have similar gun mechanics to that game as css is the only game to feel like magic when ur shooting the guns so smooth and realistic .P.S xbox 360 version will be better than the ps3 version.

[mighty_douche]

dude you nearly did it, nearly a completely unbiased comment. still i gotta completely agree with the counter strike shout, i still believe its the greatest 'competative' FPS going.
been playing the COD4 SP pc (hope that makes sense) demo and i love it, sure its all set pieces but that all helps you feel like your part of something, at least for the first few times. This and a decend multiplayer plus the perks and rankings all add up for a great game, one that i believe will challange halo3 for FPS of the year.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

If Haze bombs or something, then maybe I'll give this a try.

Atleast it looks like they're staying true to their word and pulling it off on PS3 also.

[kenjix]

I might be done with my 360 if port fiasco is finally over, no more paid live for my multiplayer fix. SWEET!

[PimpHandHappy]

not RFOM crazy but still a must buy

[razer]

Mentioning RFOM in the same sentence as CoD.. No comparison and insulting to the CoD series.. Infinity Ward FTW!

[felidae]

Yeah, i also think Resistance looks more fun to play but we'll see.

[Kleptic]

you are right Razer...RFOM only had 40 players online with no lag, tons of shipped maps, tons of awards/ribbons/medals/unlockab les...parties/clans/invites/mes saging/chatting...and a nice and long single player...all on a at the time brand new service and brand new machine...

if anything what you said was ass backwards...Rfom is superior to CoD 1,2,3 on every single level...CoD 4 may end up being better, but don't kid yourself if you think Insomniac is a developer that can't keep up with infinity Ward...but Infinity Ward and Insomniac make up some of the most talented developers in the industry...

[beavis4play]

have to see COD first, but resistance is tough to beat. best FPS out there. those large- scale battles were (and still are) insane. not to mention weapons,storyline,multi-player .... resistance rules

[the worst]

so im not buying this game fu*k them
they treat PS3 owners like sh!t
we got nothing no demo
no beta nothing
so now im going 2 run out and buy
there game
fu*k no
i dont care how good the game is
im not buy there sh!t

[remix]

its still freakin coming. were all gonna get the FULL expierence at the same time anyway.

what your saying is pretty childish if you ask me

[Martini]

There's your free online...

[radzy]

word of advice :

"dont take this fanboyism stuff too serious dude, relax"

[malingenie]

Who are you man?
Relax. If you don't like the system you bought, get another one. K?
You are going to bust a vessel.
