Customer Rating: Summary: A New Spin on an Old Classic Comment: I owned both COD the first, and COD2, and was a little skeptical when getting this if I'd experience anything new, or just the same old maps and game dressed up in new graphics. This is not the case at all; COD4 is a totally new game if not a totally new concept obviously. The graphics have certainly been improved but you'll need a pretty powerful card to get the most out of it IMO. Gameplay is very realistic and the shear number and type of armaments, maps and characters are great, if a bit intimidating at first. Unless you're a total gaming stud, expect to get your butt kicked the first couple days of playing this game until you get used to the physics and its quirks.
Many aspects of this game have added realism, such as the ability to call in CAS choppers, gillie suits for snipers, different types of camouflage for weapons, different weapon behaviors depending on whether you have certain handles or silencers attached, knives, etc. Also, it has the interesting twist in the MP variant that as you get better and acquire more kills from game to game, you unlock more weapons and weapon options (like advanced scopes or stun grenades) for yourself. Then as your skills and weapons available both get better, the effect tends to snowball a bit and you can really start kicking tail when you get up into the officer ranks. :-)
Couple new game types alongside the classic DM, TDM, Domination, etc... basically all variations on Search and Destroy. One where you locate a constantly updating HQ, capture and defend it, another where you have one bomb that constantly gets "swiped" by the other team, each in an attempt to blow up their specific objective, and the traditional Search and Destroy model where you just switch sides, taking turn attacking and defending the same target locations. The Single Player game is very slick and life-like with a variety of different mission types and locations around the world, and good lead-in / lead-out video sequences.
My one beef with this game is there seems to be some sort of inherent lag in the online game where even if you're ping is good, there can be a slight delay in the actions you take, resulting in quick and constant death. AFAICT it has more to do with how many people are on the server than the average ping. Servers with more than about 15 or 16 players can get this problem a lot and it will degrade game play in that case.
All in all definitely worth the money if you're a long time MOHAA / COD fan. Customer Rating: Summary: fun but unstable Comment: it is a very funny game, but you must be careful of the some apple key in apple foreign language keyboard may cause it crash.
u can not press them in game, or u have to restart your mac......
so it is 4 stars. Customer Rating: Summary: Shoot everything that moves Comment: Just like the prequel call of duty 2, Call of Duty 4 is more of the same it seems to be a bit harder, but maybe Im just out of practice. The price is a little higher then it should be but if you like this type of game you will get over the cost as soon as you start playing. Great graphics and compatibility seems to be clear of bugs so far as I have played. Aspyer is a great company with good support which is a REAL PLUS. Customer Rating: Summary: Works on Macbook Pro! Comment: After reading mixed reviews, i'm glad i took the chance and picked up this great game. It works perfectly on my Macbook Pro, 2.4GHz, Leopard 10.5,
4GB RAM, 256MB video memory, GeForce 8600.
It says on the box that this game is for Intel Macs Only and that INTEGRATED video chipsets is not supported.
The game plays smoothly and is every bit as intense as the console versions. Just don't forget to download the patch from Aspyr's website to allow you to play cross-platform with PC users for online gaming.
One of THE BEST games for Mac! Customer Rating: Summary: Runs Fantastic on 2008 Macbook Comment: It's tricky writing (and reading) reviews for Mac games. If you want to know if the game's worth playing, there are multitudes of reviews for all the platforms on which it's featured. So far, and I've put maybe 4 hours into the game, it's a solid port. If you want to know if COD 4 is worth playing, there's plenty of evidence out there that yes, yes it is.
If you want to know if you can run the thing, let me just say that if you have one of the new round of Macs, it will run easily and beautifully. I've got the 2.4 ghz model, but according to benchmarks, there's not a huge difference between it and the 2.0 as far as frame rate goes. The install itself is so simple I almost thought they were putting me on. They were not, and I just dragged the folder from the CD onto my hard drive. Twenty minutes or so later I was playing the best-looking game I've ever seen.
Multiplayer works awesome, and the fact that you can play against PC nerds is kind of mind-boggling to me. There are always games. And people are very, very good.
I've been using a Mac for 6 years now, this is my second laptop, and the idea that I can buy a modern game that a lot of folks are still playing and run it so well on such a thin and lovely machine makes me a little giddy inside.
