PFunk SimHQ Redneck Veteran Registered: 07/03/03 Posts: 12354 Loc: N. Central Texas	Just finished Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for the umpteenth time and I gotta say, the story hasn't gotten old. Of course, I haven't played it in more than a year, so that helps. Tremendous voice acting, fast-paced action, decent graphics even for today, it's just a really good game. I enjoyed playing it and now I'm contemplating playing Modern Warfare 2 again, just to keep it rolling. It's good yarn. And, at the end of the day, I'm a sucker for a good story. _________________________ If you can't get everyone to get on board with you, scaring the living hell out of everybody is the next best way to get attention and feel needed. www.sixmanfootball.com

I have completed it multiple times on console and pc and I think it's the finest single player fps ever made (closely followed bybthe original Half Life). I still remember after getting my soldier back on his chopper the numbness i felt when the nuke went up. awesome interactive storytelling. _________________________ Xbox Gamertag: Myrig PSN ID: Meurig Steam ID: Meurig iRacing name: Marcus Meyrick

Coot Merry Christmas SimHQ! Hotshot Registered: 08/30/05 Posts: 5611 Loc: !!USA!!	I just bought the pc version myself to play again. Played the 360 version a few years ago. I love the story telling as well and the SAS characters. Though some of the missions are great in MW2, I hated where the story ended up going. _________________________ " Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments."

Meurig Old Fart Member Registered: 06/18/05 Posts: 1162 Loc: Cardiff, UK	I did play CoD MW2 but I hated everything about it.. It was just a pale shadow of MW 1 that courted controversy just for the sake of sales. If finished me with the CoD franchise. _________________________ Xbox Gamertag: Myrig PSN ID: Meurig Steam ID: Meurig iRacing name: Marcus Meyrick

Only played it through once, anyway. _________________________ If you can't get everyone to get on board with you, scaring the living hell out of everybody is the next best way to get attention and feel needed. www.sixmanfootball.com

Coot Merry Christmas SimHQ! Hotshot Registered: 08/30/05 Posts: 5611 Loc: !!USA!!	I think Black Ops is one of my favorites though. Another story that gets convaluded and left me thinking "huh? I don't get it" but I liked the period and the multiplayer in that has been my favorite COD multiplayer. _________________________ " Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments."

PFunk SimHQ Redneck Veteran Registered: 07/03/03 Posts: 12354 Loc: N. Central Texas	Call of Duty 3 was my least favorite, Black Ops was just weird -as you said- and I wasn't as enthused. World at War was just amazingly pretty and the voice acting was off the charts. It was Treyarch's best work. _________________________ If you can't get everyone to get on board with you, scaring the living hell out of everybody is the next best way to get attention and feel needed. www.sixmanfootball.com
