After Robert Bowling, Community Relations Manager at Infinity Ward, posted a bunch of concept box arts for Call of Duty 4 for the community to vote on, it was noticed that the covers had "Storage Required" labels on them and thus reports went out that COD4 would require a memory card or hard drive. MyGamerCard.net asked Robert about the matter, and he had this to say:
The Storage Required icon should be disregarded. It was simply included as part of the concept artwork by the artist, to give a better representation of what the final box art would look like with icons and logos on it. The game can still be played by users with and without Storage devices (HDD / Memory Card). Obviously you can not save if you are without storage, but that goes for every Xbox 360 title.
Call Of Duty is back with its yearly instalment, but is Modern Warfare 3 breaking new ground, or just a lazy cash grab? The answer may not surprise you in today's review from JDR.
The original Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 games have been drawing players back in
I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired
None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?
Multiplayer has worked fine but the campaign has crashed frequently and required a verification of files to continue. The Alone mission has been unplayable and it crashes at random times as seen in this video and others have reported the issue.
I have been working with Activision and they have no fix as of yet. I got past it yesterday but it crashed 3x before I completed the level. Run a defrag or optimize your drive, verify files, run a quick virus scan, and play. After each crash, verify files again and play. Not ideal but it did let me complete it. PC on Steam.
SWEET
Since the visuals are soo impress I am interested in load times, would be good if the guy could say whether having the hard drive on the 360 means caching to reduce load times.
I kind of guessed as much, seeing as the icon had a memory card AND hard drive picture. You need at least a memory card to save games, and I can't really see a reason for needing 32mb of storage other than saving games.
well at least the worry is over
bc there was a 500 degree flame war going on over this. And it all turns out to be nothing.
Go figure.
