I Do Not Understand The Hype Surrounding CoD 4

I have no problem with CoD4 and it's predecessors, I just do not believe CoD 4 deserves the amount of hype that it is recieving.

Call of Duty 2 was a fun FPS. Call of Duty 3 was, also, a fun FPS, but it didn't do much to break away from it's predecessor.

When it was announced that CoD 4 would be a modern shooter, I wasn't exactly blown away. The WW II formula was beginning to show it's age, but this transition to modern warfare is like...well, it's like stepping out of the oven and into the freezer. Quite a few modern shooters have already been released, and although Modern Warfare looks to be a good one, it's nothing out of the ordinary.

I would love to hear your opinions on this, and would love it if you'd convince me other wise, because I love me some CoD, but I'm a little put off by #4.

Thanks for sharing your opinion, but the game looks completely awesome like all the other games in the series. :|

Call of Duty 4 is the only game this year that I would give up Halo 3 for.

There has already been a billion WWII games released as well. When a company known for making high quality WWII games steps into the modern age after 6 or so years then you expect there to be some hype surrounding it due simply to the drastic change in everything.GungraveZero

Rewind, I could care less about this game. In no way am I excited for this lol. I'm just saying what I suppose is going through others minds. I mean seriously, let's say this exact same game, graphics and all, was released by another company with just the name "Modern Warfare." Who would honestly give this game a 2nd thought? It's sort of like you said. Because it has Call of Duty attached to the name people assume it will be a good quality game just like the others in the series because they haven't been letdown before, so why expect it now?

yep,we want a non-linear original FPS experience :D

The COD games have always had excellent gameplay and a very good atmosphere to the whole game. The COD games made by Infinity Ward never disappointed , so I doubt this one will. demon565

The graphics look amazing, it's Call of Duty, and the multiplayer looks very deep and fun. That was easy...ag1002

Yeah, what he said.

Why bother comparing Bioshock to anything? You know that Bioshock outclasses pretty much anything, even very good games like Call of Duty. next thing you know, people are going to try to convince us all that Stranglehold is the GOTY again... :roll:

Infinity Ward have said that this is the game they always wanted to make.........I don't want to miss out on that. Some people don't understand the hype and that is totally cool. From what I've seen of it, I understand why so many people are highly anticipating it.

its hyped because a gretat franchise that was getting stale went on to do some some thing fresh and new.

Still, I respect your opion

It looks like a fun, solid game. Plus those Multiplayer PERKS are making the gameplay very interesting.

I don't understand the hype around halo 3. But it's still getting it.

The perks system willl put a good twist on the MP in Call of duty. It's something that hasn't been done by any shooter for the most part.

understand that call of duty 2 helped sell xbox 360 when it first came out because it was the best shooter for the console at the time and uhh PEFFECT DARK at that time was over HYPED and as we all know did nothin to live up to the 64 version.. call of duty 3 was not made by the same people as 2... and honestly man if call of duty 4 is gettin awards from e3 ...and so far there are no complaints about the beta...expect it to be great...the beta IMO looks superior to the halo 3 single player screenshots and videos we seen..and to help my opinion it recieaved awards for its grapchics and just being a shooter
