mm, I guess. I think a German Wehrmarcht campaign would be awesome- just the normal German army. I wouldnt like being the actual Nazis though. the American Hero does irritate me, which is why I loved CoD. Americans, British, Russians. Other games seem to forget the meaning of "Allies"

Im sure the new, modern CoD will be good but unless they try to be different from all the other modern shooters it could end up being really rather familiar. Something different than the US vs some generic terrorists would be nice, for a start.

you really get what you pay for with PC building. Get a core 2 duo processor, or a quad core if you wish. A Geforce 800GTS/X (GTX is more expensive) would be a good bet for DX10 games, what with er, it being just about the only bet :P

a hard drive? SATA, as many RPMs as you want to pay for, as much storage as you want to pay for.

a screen? Shop around, look at amazon reviews. A screen is a screen- low response time, good picture is what you're looking for. Also a decent size of course.

£1400 is plenty to play with IMHO. I had to build my computer for £600, and I managed :)

interesting article, as said before- from an odd source :)

Im waiting for ATi to launch their cards, which may push down prices a bit and will give some more choice. 

isnt this a fairly common problem with Xbox 360 downloaded content? If you get another console you have to be signed into Live to use the stuff:

yup, but isnt CoD 4 going to be modern combat?

CoD 3 was never going to be on PC though...
