COD4 gets 10/10 from OPM - Single-player highly praised

The single-player campaign or the multiplayer options alone would make this essential. It's a game where stunning set pieces are linked together by other ever more dazzling set pieces, while the depth and customization potential of the online component promise months of play. Too early for game of the year? Trust us, you'll see....

[wil4hire]

Other developers should take a note.

[felman87]

Actually, Infinity Ward ported their COD2 engine to the Ps3 and upgraded it. The devs are just so damn awesome that it looks like it's a ground-up job.

[games4fun]

dedicated servers for ps3 as opposed to p2p.
Anyone disagrees with that doesn't know anything about networking.

[Martini]

Actually they used COD 2 to practice for PS 3 - kudos to infinity ward for going the extra mile :)
This game will blow your SOCKS off !!

[Martini]

games4fun where did you get that info ? care to provide a link ??

[bluebrad1974]

If sony fanboys hate FPS so much, why is every sony fanboy on N4G going crazy over this game?

[ATLRoAcH]

Because its Call of Duty (4).

[bluebrad1974]

What Call of Duty 4 suddenly isn't a FPS?

[Nagthragarthoth]

I'm a shooter if there ever was one.. I just enjoy superior graphics and sound.

[ATLRoAcH]

I never said it wasn't an FPS.And I'm a Sony fan and I like FPSs among other genres.I was just saying Call of Dutys are great games and finally it went modern.All I know is that I'm getting it.

[bluebrad1974]

Are you refering to games? If that's the case, then you want a 360. I don't know where you have been, but the 360 has been hammering the ps3 in performance since it launched.

[SofaKingReetodded]

Infinity Ward themselves said the PS3 version will be superior because they had more PROCESSING POWER to work with. You gonna argue with the people who made the game?? lol

[resistance100]

'If sony fanboys hate FPS so much, why is every sony fanboy on N4G going crazy over this game?'

Since when did Sony fanboys hate FPS's that much?

Everyone loves FPS games now and then, however it is nice to have a break from FPS for a while (which the likes of Uncharted, R&C, folklore etc will provide)

The reason why everyone is getting exited about COD4 is because it looks like it will be an absolutely stunning game.

[SIX]

I actually hated FPS games. That was until I played Resistance, but yeah, I totally agree. Variety is the spice of life. When I get bored of FPS I can either go the Ratchet or Eye of Judgement........maybe throw in a little Heavenly Sword if I feel like it. Having a PS3 you are never quite bored :)

[CHRP718]

Porting is destroying great games. Developers should develop their games.

[MikeGdaGod]

you're right........i personally i really don't like FPS's. Resistance was the first FPS that i really enjoyed since DOOM.

CoD4 looks like its really gonna be alot of fun though. it'll probably be the only FPS i'll buy this year.

[Jandre02]

:-D (Carl from ATHF)

[Real gamer 4 life]

ill be picking this one up for ma ps3.

[IdontTakeSides]

Same here i'll reap the PS3 benefits..!!

[jiggyjay]

What benefits would it have on the PS3 compared to the 360? With the PS3 you won't have rumble, no achievements and you'll get better online play on the 360!! If you don't have a 360 I can understand but if you do have a 360 and a PS3 i see no reason to get it on the PS3..

[C_SoL]

shut tha fu<k up....

[xplosneer]

Umm there is rumble next month...
Better online play...both are laggy what are you talking about
Achievements can't argue.
And it's been stated the PS3 version looks slightly better.

The only reason to get it on the Xbox 360 rather than PS3 (if you own both) is if you hate the controller and must have achievements...Go ahead and pick

[ActionBastard]

No rumble? I'll import
No achievements? I gamed before achievements, I'll game after them
Better online play? I'll be on free, lag free PSN

[jackdoe]

Explosneer, the PS3 version may have similar "achievements" as many multiplatform games are going down that route nowadays. They just don't call them achievements on the PS3. And in the end, it really does come down to control scheme and how many friends you have on each console to play with.

[WilliamRLBaker]

FACT
360 version of COD4 will have an higher average score on metacritic and gamerankings then ps3 version.

FACT
360 version will have better online

FACT
360 version will sell more.

Oh and it wont have rumble unless you buy an rumble controller, or get an ps3 with rumble controllers packed in.

[DrPirate]

Free Online, Rumble as of November 11th.

What's your point? lol at William and the crystal Ball.

I think they'll both end up getting the same score. They're identical on nearly every level.

....And after seeing Guitar Hero 3's achievements...You can keep them, I don't have to ruin my enjoyment of a game for measly points.....(Snigger, play through expert with standard controller :P) Have fun...

[ActionBastard]

More FACTS...

Still can't afford a PS3 huh? I'd be worried too. A multiplatform game, that's NOT a 360 port. Running @ 60fps?! Sad. All you could bring up were your sales hopes and rumble. What about the game?

[felman87]

you're right jiggay, but don't forget about reliability. I want to play COD4 not look at it.

[ATLRoAcH]

Anyone who says playing on the PSN is laggy has never played Warhawk.I have a 3mb down connection and I have never experienced lag with Warhawk.I don't know if this game lags online but if it does its not the PSN's fault. With 32 players everywhere around you and there is still no lag.

(edit)@ jiggyjay
The Japanese Dualshock 3s come out next month and they work with all Playstation 3s.So you can import them.By the way you are crazy fanboy without a doubt.What the point posting those crappy mood comments?And like I said there is no lag on PSN.

[macalatus]

@jiggyjay,

"I know how you PS3 fanboys like to get f*cked in the A$$ by Sony but enough is enough!"

Were you watching gay porn when you made that comment?

EDIT:
"Yes I was watching GAY PORN... The one you and your dad made! I can't believe he was able to put his fist all the way in! He must've been playing with your heart from how far he was able to get his arm in you! lol!"

Whoa...I didn't ask about your childhood experiences, but that pretty much seems to explain it all. Based on your statement above, I'm pretty sure it was a traumatic experience for you.

[ATLRoAcH]

PES2008 is not my type of game and if Warhawk can be completely lag free then there is nothing wrong with the PSN.Some games lag (EA) but when they do its that games fault not the PSN.And I'm waiting for the DS3 if I bought my PS3 without Dualshock I think I can wait a few more months.You are just a hater.If you love your 360 so much then why are you so defensive for no reason.If you don't own a PS3 then why do you care?I'll have it on PS3 and you'll have it on the 360 and we will both enjoy it so who cares?

(edit)You're a jackass.

@jiggyjay (again)
You're just saying the same thing over and over.You're the one trying to sell 360s here.I don't have anything against the 360.I like Sony and wanted a PS3 so I got one.Hell enjoy your 360 but quit trying to sell me something I don't want.You're not stating facts you're hating.I am done talking to you now so bye.

[bluebrad1974]

There is no difference between the 360 and PS3 versions. So what are these elusive benefits?

[crck]

1.Blu-ray discs don't scratch so I can just leave it out of the case when I feel lazy. Drop it by accident and it scrapes against something? Oh well no worries.

2. Free online. I let my live subscription run out. I already pay for the games. I don't feel like paying MS more money to "unlock" the multiplayer half of it. Some may see paying for Live differently but thats the way I see it. I put up with paying for Live for 1 year because there was no other option. Now there is. MS is taxing people on their game purchases to play 100% of it. I don't want to support a business practice like that.

[RudeSole Devil]

Heres you reason PS3 looks better.

http://www.dailygame.net/ne...

[Nagthragarthoth]

The PS3 actually plays games on blu rays too. There's like so much more gb's on that thing.

[Sevir04]

Fact, you sleep better at night knowing that you have trolled another Positive PS3 article.

Fact.
You're on an OD of Crystal Meth, Because only Fankids like yourself try to bring down a 10/10 for a PS3 game with supposed game sales of a game that has 5 days to hit retail.

If sales mean that much to you and it does because you rave on and on about it. do every 360 gamers here a favor and get their address and buy them all a copy of this game and buy a second copy for yourself. maybe you'll sleep even better knowing that you boost the 360's attach rate even Higher than the PS3...

Get a life dude, and quit smoking that Crystal Meth, it's killing you and it's really starting to show. Nobody but you really cares about the 360's or the Ps3's attach rate. because no developer is leaving the PS3 out of the development books anymore. major devs has games hitting for the PS3 and xbox 360. i would hate to see the effects of the Meth when, Gasp, omg!!! this game Scores higher than the 360 on metrics, out sells it in sales for the Ps3. and played even more online on the PS3 because well. it's got dedicated servers and it's online is free.

i fear for you, and your well being, That crystal meth is doing things you dont have control over.

[Devr]

The Ps3 version just got reviewed 10/10. Is the 360 version going to get 11's?

[mesh1]

if u buy this game on the ps3 u wont have much fun no 1 o play with like i exp a lot of ps3 bu ton the 360 so much saddo playing games all night and the 360 version has been stated to perform better than the ps3 all clip shown buy the infinity wards has been on the 360 cause its the best copy o show the world the awesome graphics of the game

[tethered]

@ mesh1
What?

lol

[b777conehead]

to jiggy jay
rumble is comeing for the ps3 and the ps3 has more lag free play plus the best of all its free on line.plus no rrod after a few hours

[XLiveGamer]

OPM give a 10 to COD4 because they need that to happen. I wonder how much are they going to give to... mmm i forgot the name ... oh i remember now KillZone2. They need to sell the EXPENSIVE PS3 this Xmas

Dont get me wrong COD4 Looks amazing & Sounds Beautifull. BUT!!!! im tired and MY opinion its this >>>> "SAME 1st PERSON SHOOTER WAR GAMES" <<<< IM TIRED OF THAT !!!! GIVE ME GAMES LIKE A.R.M.A. Armed Assault & OPERATION FLASHPOINT 2 !!!!! Those are Next Fuc|<ing Next Gen games. NEXT GEN not only means Grraphics and sound ITS ALSO the game play. Im tire of games like that i want realism, i want all type of vehicles, i want big maps were you can plan a different assault every single game NOT THE SAME LINEAR GAME. I WANT A OPEN MAPS 100 square miles. LEARN from ARMA & OPERATION FLASHPOINT 2 this are 10 out of 10 War Games

[S1D3 EFFEC7]

That link lost its credibility when it was confirmed that the PS3 build they had played was 4 weeks ahead in development time. Thats one month ahead of the last 360 build they had played.

[Hapimeses]

Ah well, I suppose I'll have to get this as well. What else is money for, if not for spending?

There are too many really cool games hitting PS3 just now. I wonder how UT and Haze will compare? They have a hard act to follow, to say the very least.

[suedester]

Yeah, this is a day one buy for me. The fact that the single player has shaped up so nicely is a great bonus!

[Meus Renaissance]

8 hour single player? Hmm. Yeah I'll accept. Rachet and Assassins will keep me company in that regard.

Does anyone know if this game hosts dedicated servers? Or is P2P?

[suedester]

8 hours according to the review. Could be worse.

[felman87]

8 Hours is plenty for single player, the pacing will be perfect. (and that leaves more time to play Multiplayer)

[C_SoL]

at least it isn't 5 to 6 hours as they said it was gonna be...8 hours is good.

[Peekay]

my concerns exactly, but i'm pretty sure whom ever makes those decisions wont pass up on giving this potential game of the year dedicated servers. If it's multiplayer is as smooth as resistance then we're in for one heck of a ride!

[barom]

8 hour is normal for a FPS isn't it?

[Kleptic]

8 is acceptable I guess...Resistance was more like 12 the first time you play it (as long as its on medium and not easy...easy you will only die at the end...if at all)...

obviously 8 hours is better than the rumored 5 or whatever from last week...as far as the franchise though I have never been very impressed with CoD's approach to scripted single player stuff like that...This apparently is the best so far...

with UT3 not coming out in november now I will probably pick this up...it really is between this and Haze for me as far as an FPS goes...won't get both right away...they both look fun to me, but neither looks perfect for my playing style (thats where UT3 comes in)...its definitely nice to see that the game has a worthwhile single player though...

Uncharted...
Warhawk expansion...
Cod 4/Haze...
UT3 in december hopefully...

its going to be a very fun chirstmas break...

[mesh1]

GUYS we shud remember that ps3 owners are use to only 10h only single player or only multi player games so when they cry like meus about a single player multiplat game like sony fans always do about multi plat games that are muchmuchmuch better than their exclusive we shud always laugh at the sony fans .

[Kleptic]

do you ever read what you type?...go try to read the front license plate of a moving bus...

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

This is the FIRST time I've WANTED them to delay a couple of games. I don't have money for all the PS3 titles!

[Hapimeses]

LOL!

Amen to that! I'm seriously concerned about how much money it seems I'm going to be spending.

[Juneyp15]

haha i thought i was the only one who was gonna file for bankrupcy this christmas... HAZE COD4 Assasins Uncharted UT3(if it makes it)RaC:FTOD Orange Box among others.. ive been saving 30 bux a week for the past 3 months to buy em all and play them to death till MGS4 comes out

[Ju]

I am pretty sure they will have the game in stock even in 2008. It won't run away, for sure. For me, it will be Uncharted -> Haze -> well, and then its tough UT3 or CoD4 in 2008. If I'll have a budget in December, CoD4 might get that one.

[whateva]

and a 8.5/10 for the PS3

[C_SoL]

shut tha fu<k up [email protected] it....we don't care......don't get mad cause envy is swarming through your brain....we don't want to hear your stupid remarks....

[PlayStation360]

I don't think whateva is a fanboy, I think he is just referring to Gamespots questionable reviews. I've read a few of his past comments and it doesn't appear he falls under the fanboy category.

[RudeSole Devil]

From now on the PS3 will be the better looking version.

http://www.dailygame.net/ne...

[WAR_MACHINE77]

GameSpot does seem to have a hard on for questionable reviews as of late so I wouldn't doubt they'll pull crap like that.

[Kleptic]

this guy is probably correct, at least on the scoring level...where he fails is that he is attempting to give the impression that a score such as that would mean that the 360 version is superior...based on what Gamespot says?...check your shoes dude, they are covered in BS...

[mithril]

I'm searching for reviews of Call of duty 4 on Gamespot. And find 9.5 on 360 And no reviews for PS3.
to be continue.....

[Kaze88]

Pelaaja(translated: gamer) magazine gave it 10/10! Theres only 2 big game magazines in finland and this is one of them.

Now someone could be thinking "omfg finnish mags suck and give everything 10/10 bla bla" but thats not the case -_- this same magazine gave 10/10 last time to Halo3,bioshock and warhawk...since that i havent seen 10/10 a long time...maybe gears of war was the one that got 10/10 and when was that released, year ago?

[Peekay]

where's the first page? it just starts off "experience any of us have played..."

edit - never mind its here: http://i125.photobucket.com...

[joydestroy]

AAA game. end of story.

[yaygames]

Doesnt matter if its ps3 xbox 360 or pc, its still going to be an awesome shooter!

[jackdoe]

Sweet. 10/10 from both OXM and OPM. How can this not be good?

[felman87]

Gamespot will tell us
