I think it was a pretty good demo that in its somewhat short demo-time showed what the game will be all about.I mean its COD in another era.So it will be the good Single player campaing we all love completed with the awesome online modes.
Oh and I guess it was pretty well balanced in terms of graphics/performance cause on the higher resolution my laptop allows and with everything on Highest I got a good 25-80 Fps .
I played through it a few times. I thought it was a very promising demo. Lots of action going on, with bullets whizzing by and NPC's shouting orders all around you. The 1st time I went through it, I was a little confused as to what exactly I was doing other than shooting bad-guys, but as I got a feel for it I came to enjoy it very much. The graphics were excellent and ran very smooth on my "older" system. (3.8GHz Extreme non-duel, 2GB RAM, X1950XTX).
I think I'll be picking this one up when it comes out. Looks like a great shooter.
i just download it and check it, and in my opinion its gonna be a really good game..captures really good the experience of real combat (i think, never been in a war) and the graphics are just great, i think the real doubt is if to get it to pc, ps3 or 360 an if you get it for 360 multiplayer will be fun with so much halo fever going on..
just one mission in the demo and i can hardly wait for this game
cool!
it plays exactly like cod2 (which makes it awesome)
it's more of the same, but that's exactly what everyone was (or should have been) expecting - and i think that's what most of us want
the modern era thing doesn't make much of a difference - at least in so far as the gameplay is concerned... there's still huge groups of soldiers fighting both with and against you, it's still the same mixture of scoping from cover then staging a semi-suicidal charge on the remaining soldiers and somehow surviving
it's still intense, it's still awesome - if you want to replay cod2 and get a fresh experience at the same time, then cod4 is exactly what you want
and it looks gorgeous
Here is my take:
I have played all of the CoD games for PC. I enjoyed them, but by the end of CoD2, I got tired of the exact same formula every engagement. Heavy firefights with a lot of scripted events.
I booted up the demo last night and the graphics turned all the way up were gorgeous. Better than any game out there right now. However, once I got over the amazing graphics, it was all the same. Heavy firefights with scripted events. I wish they would get some and try something new. The same old thing with a new skin is not as appealing to me. Now, I will get it and hope the MP is a BF2 upgrade, but the SP will be the same as before.
Crysis is not out there YET, and I thought the graphics of CoD4 were better than the UT3 demo. I have graphics turned all the way up for both, too. Personal opinion.
BTW My specs are OC'd Q6600 to 3.0 GHz, 4 GB RAM and an OC'd 8800 GTS 320 MB on a 22" LCD. And I do have grand expectations for Crysis. :)
When Crysis will be out who knows if even 8800 can handle it maxed out:(Crysis is not out there YET, and I thought the graphics of CoD4 were better than the UT3 demo. I have graphics turned all the way up for both, too. Personal opinion.

It's Call of Duty first of all. Which is good, it isn't another game tagged as COD just so it can sell. The game play feels similar yet a bit refreshed, for one it's quite a bit more challenging than COD2. It has great visuals, performs well, it has nice weapons, and good game play, and of course a new setting. If you're a big Call of Duty fan I could see how it is worth it, but then at the same time, it's just another Call of Duty. It's great though single player wise, but I'm not too sure if the switch from COD2 MP to COD4 MP is worth it just yet as I haven't played that portion yet.
The Good: Atmosphere, it felt like you had to get to the tank, the cover on the hardest setting was very very important. Each weapon had its own use, I used a saw one time at the tank up close n personal, the next i ran far away from the tank and sniped. So its got variety.
Graphics, just great cant ask for much more, even the night vision was cool.
AI, The AI was pretty good, they fought killed the enemy, and they died too. Also when they cleared rooms, it was an exact drill of clearing rooms down to "four coming out" when the exited.
The Bad: Very slow moving, sprint felt like normal speed for me, COD2 was very very fast paced, so maybe I was expecting that. Also im playing Quake wars alot and UT3.. so maybe I was used to those 2.
The Sound - The m4 sounds like a "fricken lazer gun" sooo lame. Fix that sound it was nothing like an M4. Other than that the voice overs was good. Just fix the gun sounds.
Over all Its a good game, I would buy if I wasn't already full up on new games. TOO many games came out in Sept/Oct. But I can tell this one would be great even beyond the demo.
I have played it and I hated it. Game play is crap game is crap. I so hate army FPS thats all I am seeing with FPS and its starting to piss me the hell off.halo_456
[QUOTE="Minder22"]How is it in your opinion?Atlas_FTW
Sucked. Bad. Just like COD:1... good for back then, crap for 2007.
You must be related to BounceBK.. you dissed every game and just say Crysis will beat them all.. I hope so.. but we might be dissapointed.. there is always that slim chance...
I wonder did you think Blake Stone and Corridor 7 sucked as well?

Never heard of those crazy games! I don't hate all new games that aren't Crysis. I thought the TimeShift demo was pretty cool (HL ripoff, but still). COD is just braindead psuedo-action. UT:3 offers NOTHING improved on 2004 except graphics - that would be OK, but Crysis already beat UT3 graphically so UT3's only selling point is moot. Gears of War is a wild card - I've never played it so we'll see. I am also excited about White Gold (from makers of Boiling Point).
I thought the demo was fantastic. A great introductory piece. The difficulty ramped up at a great pace, the graphics were fantastic and it ran smoothly all the way. Weapons were well implemented and the sound was damn immersive.
The length of it was also good, whilst it may have felt on the short sight, like all the best demos it definatly ensured I wanted to get some more action. The game mechanics may not have changed too much but they work perfectly in the modern warfare environment. This will definalty be on my to buy list
Up until this week I hadn't played any of the CoD games, but because of everyone going on and on and on about CoD4 I decided to try the original CoD. It was kind of sweet, my only beefs with it are that it was really short (6 hours), all you ever did was walk up to flak guns and place bombs on them, and the quality of the missions were about 50% hit and miss, a lot of them were crap compared to the better ones (like that solo mission on the dam was the most boring ever).
I've been holding off on buying a new comp forever so I don't play that many graphics intensive games atm, but I decided to play the CoD 4 demo on my dad's machine. The graphics in the game were really outstanding but to my great suprise I didn't feel that it mattered at all (the point is I mainly play games that look like major crap so I thought that awesome graphics would really stun me). I didn't feel more immersed than I did playing CoD I on a screen half the size.
Overall I found the demo really disappointing, I didn't think it was much fun at all, and having to blow up an AAA gun by running up to it and pressing 'F' felt pretty ridiculous considering this is the fourth game in the series. Ballistics was nice but I've been shooting through walls in CS since 2000, so it's hardly a revolution. The dialogue was about as cliché as they could possibly do it (there's too many of them! - shut up and fire!) and that actually bummed me. The ridiculous amount of scripting isn't my tase either, having the same guy kick down the same box at the exact same time each time you play looks silly. It's like they went bananas and overdid everything. Maybe graphics isn't the only key to immersion?
What also annoyed me was the fact that the crosshair turns red when you aim at dudes. Freaking game for noobs or what? The health system is... practical I guess, health packs aren't that great of a concept, but the system they use kind of makes every piece of cover a save spot and kills any tension (at least for me).
I'm not sure exactly why the combat wasn't fun, I just wasn't :s
just my opinion anyway
Awesome single player demo but the multiplayer (even if I had the friggin dual analog demo) is where it's at.
Plus, my friend (I have an 8800GTS, so I wouldn't know) said that it's rediculously well optomized. He had it looking good on his mid-range PC.
