I never thought I'd see a realistic sounding review on metacritic.

there's something legitimately satisfying about videos that zoom in and slam like that

So what he's saying is that there are big swathes of nothing to try and prevent cheats? Or are Infinity Ward just that bad at coding their engine?

The big blocks of zeroes are purposeful. You don't accidentally code something like that. Maybe reserving a few MB or so more than you meant, but not entire GB blocks.

It has to be on purpose. That much memory of nothingness would have to be on purpose, or else there is some whole other level of incompetence here.
Yikes. Such a massive swathe of absolutely nothing, just to try and prevent cheats. It's unnecessary padding so deep down, and really should be fixed now they've been called out on it. No piffle about artistic vision can excuse such pointless padding blocks of absolutely nothing in the code.
I honestly hope this padding to jack up the RAM requirements isn't some scam to make it seem like it can do a lot more than it is actually able to.
Maybe their marketing department went, "We've got to have high system requirements, guys, that way the game will sound so next-gen and we will sell loads. What's that? We aren't anywhere near a high memory requirement? Well, just fill it with blank, then."

It's for future DLCs
GG IW
Treyarch should just split off and start making games set in the Vietnam War and other lesser seen conflicts in war games, maybe even older than WW2. How cool would it be to play a WW1 or civil war themed COD?
I'm listening to my stepbrother play this right now and all he's been doing for the last two hours is yell at the screen and complain about noobtoobers.
Jesus christ, it never changes.
Oh my god i am so tempted to blacklist his Xbox IP on the router now. This shit is getting real old, every 5 seconds I hear "what the fuck" or "oh my god". Jesus please save me. He got a chance to experience the terrible netcode first hand and he was shot behind a wall. I don't think I've ever seen someone spasm that hard before over a fucking [I]video game.[/I]
What does your brother being 12 have to do with the thread and previous conversations?
When is a single player review coming?
Is there even any point? We know it'll be the same fishhook through the nose as the previous campaigns, and that Riley the Dog gets killed by Generic Enemy Organisation #427.
[QUOTE=Yummy Pie;42769351]He's got a point about Treyarch. Their CoD games have always been better than IW's.[/QUOTE]
Uh
1 and 2 and 4 were the best games of that series
treyarch started out making trash like finest hour and big red one

Yeah, the Treyarch games were never better than IW's games up untill maybe Black Ops. I mean the first PC Cod Treyarch made was United Offensive which was great but mind you it was an expansion to the original Call of Duty, developed by Infinity Ward - Call of Duty 3 was pretty shit and a console exclusive - World At War was also really awesome, true, but it really was just reskin of CoD4. Not saying they didn't put effort into it, the WaW campaign was awesome and the multiplayer was aswell, and I'm not even saying it was worse than CoD4 but it certainly wasn't better.

Man, be glad you don't live in my house.
There's 2 people here who sometimes get overly enthusiastic, one less so than the other.
What I mean is either complain to him or shut up and deal with it.
Before rating friendly, know that one of these people is me.
Atleast teach yourself to swear quietly, gah, I mean it's normal to get a little pissed when dying but atleast learn to control your anger

World at War and both Black Ops games aren't bad, especially in comparison to titles like the 3rd game (and the original PS2/Xbox games before CoD3 they made were actually well received I believe). I guess it's like, the original Infinity Ward did it best, but Treyarch is far better in comparison to the 'new' Infinity Ward that's scrounging the work together like a zombie.

I played through all of it because I only had a PS2
it was probably the worst fps i have ever played
Played it on Xbox, remains one of my favorite CoD games.
[QUOTE=Plaster;42776913]I never bought a CoD game for the main reason that they're too expensive for what they are. I want CoD4, but for such an old game I don't expect paying 30€. And on sale they go down to 25€. I hope the winter steam sale will drop it low enough.[/QUOTE]
A little late but you can buy Call of Duty 4 for 5$ (3.11€) at [url=https://stacksocial.com/sales/call-of-duty-4-modern-warfare]StackSocial[/url]. It's Steam activated and not region locked. The lowest it's ever been on Steam was 10$ during last year's Steam Winter Sale.
