COD 4...

[MiStA PePPa]

Ever wonder what it would be like if you took the intensity of the COD series and added a healthy dose of moderness?

I loved both 2 & 3 (never played 1) but this seems great as well. Can't wait.

[MindlessOath]

ohh wow, a whole ZERO secounds of actual real game play. sad, very sad... a trailer should showcase actual real game play, not cut sequence's,  becasue i dont buy a game based on that, sad that the rest of the world would.

i stopped buying cod games after the first, because its just not my type of game, i have played the rest here and there, but overall not impressed.  i guess im just a battlefield junky.

The trailer made me very excited, which I guess is their job.... I can't wait to see some gameplay vids though.

Love the first COD, still playing it at the moment actually. I'm hoping this is a mix of COD and BF2, or more like the Point of existence mod for BF2 meets COD.

Either way great trailer, and hopefully a great game to go along with it.

[MiStA PePPa]

my favorite part of cod 2 and 3, was the way they made you feel like you were a part of a much larger movement. You weren't just some commando or even any kind of SF, just a soldier following orders. It should be an interesting experience, hopefully like a bf2 with a sp story-line.

How good do you think the story can be, anyways? Considering all previous titles have pretty much already been written in the 40's.

Anyone see the sniper footage last night on g4?

[DaSmerg]

E3 trailer linkage in case you're wondering what peppa is going on about.

Yeah, definately looks pretty cool

[MaddGIJoe]

Yeah the E3 footage on G4 looks pretty damn sweet.... it like they changed the whole game around not just the years....  you know what I mean..... maybe?

with the videos i've seen i hope the game play isn't on rails in this one like previous versions. that was my only gripe with the Call of Duty series.

I agree. Never liked CoD because of it.

[MindlessOath]

it says "this game consists entirely of actual gameplay"

which is BS... it has actuall in game cuts, but doesnt really showcase much if any actuall in game gameplay.  what a lie, because its the engine thats rendering the game doesnt  mean its actuall gameplay.  you dont actually see you as a player playing meaning gameplay. what a crock. those are just in game cut scenes. i think i saw some that was actually in game gameplay but i cant tell for certain because it didnt have a hud.

alot of that stuff also looked like it was hd quality - probably xbox360 materal, dunno.

[Wolfsong]

Most games today support close to HD quality on PC as well. Most games support 1600X1000 or similar, which is between 720p and 1080p but in 16:10... so we would need 1920x1200 for full HD, I guess.

[MiStA PePPa]

DaSmerg, Not talking about that. One of the Devs played a mission as a sniper. He fallowed another sniper through enemy territory. That WAS actual game play, and it looked great. Seems they added a whole new stealth layer to the game.

[Delta16]

Wow, don't have an aneurysm on us or anything.  If you wan to see the game being played, check out the stage presentation.  Its a great show case of gameplay.

[MiStA PePPa]

Sorry if I sounded upset, I wasn't. Do you have a link to the stage presentation? I did see it last night and that is what I was talking about. I really just want MindlessOath to see it, so we can hear what he has to say about the actual gameplay. :D

Looks like BF2 with a SP story line.

[sithdemon]

See every E3 since like 2002 or so, it's actually been harder to say whats gameplay and whats a cut scene. Homeworld 2 was the first game where I thought I was looking at a cut scene or screne shots from a cut scene, and it turns out to ge in game.

Oblivion is another great one, cause the game looks like a cutscene even when your playing it, if it's maxed out.

COD4 is along these lines, the actual gameplay videos aren't that far off from the cut scenes, some of the cut scenes look like the game engine just with scripted events, which is cheaper to do then a dedicated cut scene.

Interview with Studio head Scott Collier.  This demo's some CG but with a tag line of "Mulitplayer Beta".

A note from this interview...

"...Now that we're here at E3...we're going to be showing one of the levels you might have seen part of it in the trailer we showed.  That was all live gameplay by the way.  That was not CG.  Dispel the myths here..."

To Scott's credit there is a couple flashes of CG in this vid and you can see a difference.

Ooooh from this vid...marines have NV for a level, opposition doesn't but uses flares for spotting.  Sounds nasty!

[DaSmerg]

Another note and a bit off topic but was mentioned by sith above...

From this interview, Scott mentions near the end that this is the first wave of true "Next-gen" games that we'll soon be seeing everyday.

From what I've seen of the next-gen titles IG stuff, it's pretty sick and is going to start blurring the lines of CG.  The IG environments are really come alive with the extra horsepower of the new line of graphics architecture.

Anyways, back on topic, my vote is that COD 4 looks like it's going to be sick.  I noticed a little "3 kill streak" subtitle came up during one flash.  So I'm thinking this is going to be a more fun and gun mixed style game.  I don't mind that personally for MP as long as it isn't the whole game.  Then again, what are the other MP game modes?

[DaSmerg]

More IG from E3...

[MindlessOath]

dunno if this is pc or xbox
