Feature comparison. The general suspicion is that this move by IW is meant to benefit them at the expense of part of their customer base. We'll see how it turns out, but it's hard to imagine how the changes imposed by IWNet will end up being better for the PC gamer than the standard client/server paradigm used by virtually every other PC game title now and for more than the last decade.

Okay..should I get this for 360, PC, or both? I will feel weird not playing on live, but would like to play on my computer when I'm out of the house.. Who already has it?
 
I thought the PC CoD4 only allowed up to 32 players, of course, I could have read that wrong (32 EACH team?).
It will support 64 slots, but you have to force it to do so. That can be done by changing the sv_maxclients line in the server .cfg file to set sv_maxclients "64".

You then have to change the command line string you use to launch the server to +set ui_maxclients "64".

You can't do that on any of the console games. Server mods not allowed. Another example of why PC gamers have no interest in the console paradigm.
 
rumors running around work is asda has it for £32 , sainsburys for £25 and tesco for £26 if bought with another full price game?

anyone else have any intel on these prices ?

Sainsbury's are indeed selling it for £26 until the 15th, or rather still until stocks last. I was a bit blown away by that, I mean the RRP is £60! More than 50% off. Wow. There's going to be some monster queues tomorrow.
We bought Mario Galaxy from Sainsbury's the morning it was out for £23. They're a very good place to get games from.
 
Typical, the day Im expecting Call of Duty and the postman decides to turn up later than normal.

My mates are all playing it :( Im so going to get owned by them.

Well look at it this way: Im not getting it for another (see signature) so we'll be on a level playing field.

Well, as level as you can get when I have such 1337 skills. ;)

I cant believe I just typed 1337. :rolleyes: Meh.

haha yeah, your sig could demand quite a bit of your time! :D

My friend received his in the post this morning, along with the Night Vision goggles. He is playing it now, says that its intense (and thats just the multiplayer)

On the plus side it means that I can do some Uni work as the rest of the week is a right off!!!!

Ask him how high quality the NVGs are. Im thinking about getting the prestige (im close friends with the owner of the store, so even though i didnt reorder it, I can still get it) edition, however I dont want it if its a cheap plastic POS.

And naw, Ill just update it every hour or so. :p

He says that they are class and wishes that it was night now!

F*** him! Now I really want them.
Has he gone in the bathroom and turned out the lights to see how they work?
Ask him. ASK HIM!

(I hope he says they suck, so I wont feel bad about not getting them. If he says they are awesome, I think I'll have to fork over the additional 70$)
 
im getting really pumped. 6 1/2 hours till i get a copy. who else is calling for a server overload in the next 2 days? :p i hope its stable all day wednesday were having a party (24 hour controller hand off)(if a party counts as 2-3 people playing and a few people watching plus game fuel mountain dew and hot pockets and calling off work)
 
My copy came a day early, I got RROD 5 minutes in. Massive frustration is ensuing. I nearly decided to buy a new XBox instead of taking the warranty repair so I could play again sooner but common sense prevailed.
 
I got the last copy at one of the Sainsbury's stores selling it at midnight. Thought what the hell, I'm not *that* bothered - but if I'm going to buy it I don't wanna pay £50, so £26 seemed a damn good deal.

Was too tired to play it though, so as of this moment, it's been sitting at home for almost 11 hours. :eek:
 
Where is the game’s manual?! It’s a whole four pages long! There’s a ton of new stuff going on in this game and nothing to explain it. Can they at least point me to a website that contains this information?

I've noticed that with most new games. The manuals consists of controls, and credits....

6 hours till UPS should come :D
