COD4 greatest online shooter of all time or cheapest fps of all time? (poll)

The game is great from the graphics to the guns there is really no game out there on consoles that really compares to date. However, with some many great things the online is ridiculously flawed like nothing ever seen before from host disconnects that end the game, to no lobby, to bad respawn points, to entering games that are a lost cause with nothing but enemy air-strikes with back to back enemy choppers, and along with other things.

So that leads to one question greatest console online fps experience to date or cheapest online fps experience to date?

i think its kind of overrated but its still a great game

EDIT - i enjoyed halo 3 online experince more

Its good, it just got boring.

Halo 3 is quite a bit better

I think its the second best online FPS.

Its the best on consoles though. I liked it way better than Halo 3. Its way more fast-paced and exciting. Halo 3 feels so boring in comparison. Plus, i hate the fact that Halo chooses the game types for you, and it takes ages to enter games. On COD4 its really quick and easy to enter the game you want.

Cod4 doesnt even come close to "the greatest online fps experience to date". I can think of so many games which are better online than COD4, i'm honestly quite surprised anyone would make that claim.Ninja-Hippo

What other fps game has sold 10 plus million copies to date? If there are so many then list 5.

It's pretty good. The campaign is fun and the online is alright, but it's not the greatest game ever. It's not bad though.

The graphics, however, are incredibly overrated and barely above average.

Best game ever>sales

Sales mean squat for games. If a game is marketed right and has good reviews it will sell well. The only reason Why I picked up COD4 was because all my firends said it was the best game ever but its far from that.

50 cent bullet proof sold very well - is that an amazing game too? I'm not even saying COD is bad, so i dont see why you're on the defensive. I just dont think it's "the best fps online experience to date", or even in the running for that matter. I think if you consider COD4 the best online shooter ever made, you really need to go out there and experience some other games on offer, because you'll have a blast with a good few games which put COD to shame.

So now quality equals sales?

seriously name another console shooter that looks better

No, it's nubafied.

Unless you can find me someone who can run with an M60 and still be perfectly accurate with no recoil. Then I will try to debate this.

Infinity Ward has always made great campaign fps games even when the worked for EA.

The multiplayer is fun, but there are flaws on CoD4. Like sometimes the horrible respawns you encounter in certain areas of the map like Overgrown or the unfair advantage a team has depending on where they spawn in the beginning like the map Bog(The Marine side).

It's defnitely one of the best and one of my favorties.

My Top 3:
1.) TF2
2.) Gears of War
3.) Unreal Tournament 2004
Bonus: COD4 & CS 1.6

COD4 was good a year ago, but to be honest it just got dull and boring.Stringerboy

THIS, btw your sig made me lol

Neither. Great game, deserved it's score, but not the godly game some make it out to be imo.angelkimne

Even a year later, COD4 is still the only game 2 of my friends will play. You're right with that statement.

Counter Strike: Source is better than COD4xNJN

Counter Strike source is pretty much better than all shooters if we are being honest.

The online was very balanced. My brother, who's not very good at shooters, played COD4 online a lot. And it's because sometimes he might do really well, and sometimes he might come in last. And the same could be said when I played it, even though I'm way better at shooters then he is. Whereas, with a game like Unreal, less experienced players were always left in the cold, like my brother. People complained about Martydom. Yet IMO if you dumb enough to run into a grenade warning, you deserve to die. People complained about all the perks for that matter. But it's that little bit of extra customization that made the game great IMO. You could make the weapons fit your style of gameplay. Example; If you were a little slow at reacting, give your self some extra life to give you that extra bit of firing time. If you never fired off the gun fast enough to kill the person, give yourself double tap. Yes it's slightly cheap to the "hardcore" players, but it's a war. Not everyone plays fair. And these little perks mixed with great controls made the game great IMO. I can't say the best because I haven't played everything... dr-venkman

Hardly....

Spawns were horrible. Their were times that you would instantly die spawning.

IDC what anyone says but Martydom is unbalenced. Especially in Hardcore servers were you can't see the grenade indication...

cheap cheap cheap.

im actually stumped thinking how the hell did i get 600 + hrs on this game.

maybe i played more on the mods rather than the vanilla version.

its pretty sweet. not the greatest tho. Resistance 2s online will mostly likely b better

The online was very balanced. My brother, who's not very good at shooters, played COD4 online a lot. And it's because sometimes he might do really well, and sometimes he might come in last.dr-venkman

That's because it's a game aimed at casuals. It's not meant to be for "hardcore" gamers.

I don't blame them and I won't bash IW for it, I just hate when kids say this game takes skill and it's realistic, only because they actually get kills. When people say Halo 3/Socom/Counter Strike/Gears take no skill it's hilarious. It's clearly obvious to see who is better in those games because you won't do great in one game but do horrible the next. If you're good, you will most likely always win, or at least do consistently good.

Btw, for Halo I am talking about Lone Wolves. In Halo 3 it's more team oriented, if you don't have good support you will not win. In COD4, you can't say the same (unless I am just that good) because I would dominate and lead my team to victory in search and destroys, headquarters or sabotage.

There is still a disconnect between people with 25/7 kill death in that game. Those 25 kills had to come from somewhere. In every single multiplayer game there is always a disconnect of skill between the people in first, and the people in last.

COD4'S mp is pretty boring.

Martydom pretty much ruined my entire COD4 expierience.

I enjoyed COD2 so much more.

spawning into airstrikes and in front of prone enemies is not fun, also the xbox 360 has a problem with knifing. Many many many times the enemy has flown past me, completely missed me and stabbed the air about 3ft behind me only for me to die and watch the killcam with a bemused expression.

Its good, it just got boring.

Halo 3 is quite a bit better
