This is quite frankly, the best game ever

You mustn't have played the first CoD, as an original CoD player, I have to say CoD4's infantry combat is ****! very easy and repetitive, the game has been noobified majorly. You can unload an M4 without any recoil and no bursts shots and hit the spot all the time.

COD4 is my first COD game as I have a major repulsive reaction towards WW2 games. I couldnt play one no matter how good it was. COD4 infantry combat in its gameplay mechanics is definitely one of the easiest, but theres nothing easy about it. COD4 is pure and raw player vs player skill and wits set. Just because M4A1 doesnt fly all over the screen, doesnt make a game easy in MP mode. While I admired the high degree weapon handling skill needed in SWAT4, where experience was needed in order to control and use a weapon to its fullest, I dont miss that in COD4. A) Because its not a sim and B) Because people are giving me a handfull already.

And the substance of the multiplayer has to be that exact ability to read the book over and over and uncover new things you missed each time, that's what keeps you coming back. And like you said, you can't do that in cod4.

Its not about the things you miss, but how hard and cornering the literature is, how enjoyable it is each time you read it. Ive had more fun with my 60 hours of COD4 infantry, than I had with my 500 in BF2 infantry.

As for the bugs, it all depends on how familiar you're with the game and the community, you must've missed that huge 15 thread page on IWNation about CoD4's bugs.

I havent seen anything, or experienced anything. The only major thing I knew about, was the 1.75 sprint factor for the P90. And thats a huge success for a game. I havent had a CTD with COD4 yet. For all intents and purposes, "there are no bugs". Considering that were in BF2 forums, as a comparision. And those 15 pages are hardly just bugs, I dont think Im wrong if its a 15 page discussion topic about a "master COD4 bug list".

Also, new features are requested cause the game is lacking tons of features(filters, no ability to configure the loadout while in-game,... and many other things), BF2 already has A LOT of features, yes, they are buggy, but again depends on individual experience.

BF2 may have one of the best server browsers Ive seen, but its also one of the worst in its quality. COD4 server browser is one of the worst Ive seen, which is why Im unaffected by it, simply because I use Xfire.

For example, in CoD4 when you're running it in window mode and push ALT(configured as lean for me) and then WASD keys it produces this "bing" sound from windows default sounds, that bug is annoying as hell, and they still haven't fixed that.

You can edit out the bing sound if you know whats causing it and which is the sound that is used.

Oh and another thing that tells me you haven't been in the CoD community much, AV/IW have ****ed their customers no less than DICE/EA have, ....... cod2 anyone? .... just leaving that game out in the air, never fixing the left lean glitch, coming out with 1.3 patch and ruining connection times, most people are still playing 1.0 version. There was a huge strike with admins shutting down and locking their servers for 24H and stuff. I'm as bitter with IW as you're with DICE, **** IW, they've betrayed the PC cod community and sold out to 360.

Considering wat COD4 is, and what youre saying about COD2, we can actually conclude that Infinity Ward has learned from their mistakes. Something which we know DICE hasnt. COD4 is an awesome game, and just because youre unhappy with "bing sounds", avoidable server browser and lack of recoil, doesnt mean you should be overlooking the massive improvements over other FPS games that have come out as of late. Since 2005, COD4 is pretty much the only game that has nailed the fun factor completely, for me. Thats a hell of an achievemnt. And while I certainly see how you feel betrayed by the changes in an industry, I wont tell you to "suck it up", because Im not a fan of the franchise, but a fan of a particular game.

If only they would remove the rubber-band effect. It feels like a leftover from the consoles` autoaim feature.
I don`t like what IW did to the series either, but CoD4 is still one of the best inf games you can get.

What CoD4 needs, imo, are CoD1 style maps. Maps that stand out, are easy to remember but at the same time can offer deep gameplay, like CoD/US`s Foy, CS` dust, UT`s Face.
Imo Pipeline and Crossfire atm are the best whore maps.

Indeed, this game is great. It has a little bit of everything for everybody that wants to play a FPS game. At it's best is when you get to play with a good team, where everyone is working together, against an equally good team. It becomes really competitive and fun for everyone involved.

I think the only game that is close to BF2 is ArmedAssault, but apparently MP sucks, and it does not have the player base like BF2 does.

Meh i really cant get back into, i played it non-stop for like a 1 1/2 years but i had a break from it and now i really just cant stand it.

i thought exactly that up until recently. i left it alone for 2 years but installed it to remind myself what all the fuss was about and now my body clock and eating pattern is up sht creek once again. i cant even eat a meal without thinking what map i wanna do next. i should be bored shtless with it but it has got something. the only game for me thats come close for gameplay is wargasm, i think its 11 years old now, thats so scary seems like last week i played that. my first phone bill was £350.

The BF series always had a high LAME factor.
I guess thats also a reason why it's so addictive.
Sometimes I keep laughing when in a game cause so many funny stuff is happening.

Failure at life.

What other game allows you to baserape people for 30 minutes straight, getting a 93-0 score on a huge map that has 4 jets, 2 attack choppers and 2 transport choppers, and not one of them seeing you :)

There is no other game like BF2, I sit down saying, ok, just 1 round, end up playing 10 rounds, then playing 3 rounds of PR (which is like 4 hours)

God damn! I hate this game! But in a good way!

Unranked servers. People b!tching about the game have absolutely no clue just how much you can alter without it being a "mod". You can change positions for any object on the map (STA, TOW for example), and as a matter of fact- you can change the position in such a way, that the STA site will not show as a green box (either position, or setting). You can even set 2 APCs instead of boats to the carrier. Increase, decrease vehicle numbers, change vehicles, et cetera, et cetera.

Unranked servers are sometime really fun to play due to this reason, and some are really well modded, with an actual point being made in every change. Such modifications could include an enemy out-of-bounds in their respective enemies uncap base, which servers like Chopper Mayhem have introduced.
