COD4 Doesn’t Suck?
I was totally wrong on last article about Call of Duty 4 sucking. This past weekend, I was able to play and test out both single player and multiplayer on Xbox 360.
Don’t get me wrong, the distributed PC demo that was provided for single player did suck…but the Xbox 360 version was awesome.
I only played through the first couple of missions on single player, but it was pretty involving and sucked me right into the story and action. Yeah you are still on rails and if you are not doing what you are supposed to, the AI repeats itself over and over…but there are other aspects that help weigh out the bad.
The sounds and visuals are really nice. From different spoken languages to explosions, the sounds of the game help me become part of the war. The vegetation is fairly lush and the water seems very realistic. I even got a kick out of seeing an rusty broken down merry-go-round and swing set.
Multiplayer was packed with action as well. Although I didn’t know anything about the guns, ammo and controls…I held up in good position and ranked up within a few games. The only bad thing about the multiplayer was that the servers were having issues that day. Everytime that I went to start a Team Deathmatch…the servers would crash or not even start. This started to get annoying after awhile…thats what made me go check out the single player missions. I am sure that the server issue will be fixed if it hasn’t already.
All in all, I think that it may be a good war FPS to play until Battlefield Bad Company comes out.
