Interview: Infinity Ward Talks Call of Duty 4

"Here at Tom's Games we're big fans of Infinity Ward and Call of Duty 4 so when the opportunity to interview Robert Bowling - Community Relations Manager at Infinity Ward and IAmFourZeroTwo blogger - at GDC presented itself we jumped at the chance.

We'll give you fair warning, we discuss the end of the game and the fates of certain characters so plot spoilers abound."

"They'd never handled that much load at once and at any given time we had over 100,000 players playing on PS3."

That's great to hear :) I've always thought 50,000 Max on PS3 but WOW! Guess I was wrong.

Hmmm... I wonder if Socom Confrontation can beat that? ;)

As a Socom vet, I think it will if it goes back to the Socom1/2 roots.

Since when did Tomshardware become a videogame review site? They went from respectable (for the most part) computer hardware review site to a gamer's site? Most interesting indeed.

They were respectable way way back when Dr. Pabst was running the show. Now they're kind of a running joke in the tech site world. A fella once said:

Confucius say, "He who reads Toms Hardware and believes ... IS A FOOL!"

[Guwapo77]

I totally have to agree with your statement. I didn't think anyone on this site would have followed the history of Tomshardware site.

+1 for you.

Actually, if you check the leaderboards, you can see ppl ranked as 'low' as 500k +

So yeah, many ppl got CoD4 on PS3, and many took it online ;)

Will really have to wow me. I've seen some video of confrontation and it does look good. I hope they include escort, and all the other classic objectives that made socom great. No quick sniping ho. COD4 for the meantime is tighter than a knats ass, the ranking system is a #1, the gameplay is real and it just dominates all other combat sims.
