Post by: idolminds on Thursday, October 12, 2006, 04:26:06 PM: I wonder what they'll charge.

And damn, CoD just doesnt seem to ever drop in price.

Post by: idolminds on Tuesday, December 05, 2006, 10:31:40 PM: The good CoD games are made by Infinity Ward. They will be making CoD4. CoD 3 was made by Treyarch, the people that do the console CoD games.

I guess the plan now is alternating, IW makes one for PC, Treyarch makes one for consoles.

Post by: Quemaqua on Tuesday, December 05, 2006, 10:48:52 PM: Treyarch is still around? If memory serves, they did Draconus: Cult of the Wyrm for DC. I fucking love that game. I have so little interest in Call of Duty it's like a negative space that sucks in all matter around it. Even as we speak this thread is being sucked into the nether.

EDIT - Bingo. (http://www.gamespot.com/dreamcast/adventure/draconuscultofthewyrm/review.html) Damn. I want to go back and play that so bad right now.

Post by: Xessive on Tuesday, December 05, 2006, 10:55:10 PM: Treyarch have been doing quite a bit of console stuff.. They've worked on most (if not all) the Spider-Man games with Gray Matter. I'm just glad the PC CoD's are made by Infinity Ward. They know their stuff, especially for multiplayer.

Post by: Ghandi on Tuesday, December 05, 2006, 10:59:13 PM: Most definitely. I still play UO on a daily basis, mostly because my laptop can't run most of the newer games.

Post by: Pugnate on Wednesday, December 06, 2006, 12:46:15 AM: I played COD1 and loved it, but couldn't bear to start COD2. I thought while COD1 was extremely well designed, and that I could expect the same quality from COD2, I just couldn't -- and still can not -- put up with another world war themed shooter.

Yeah, I'm sick of WW2 games.. I don't wanna play any more of them. Company of Heroes being an exception, of course. I really wanted to play CoD2 multiplayer, but no one I knew was interested or even had it at the time.. I think my favourite WW2 game is still MOHAA. I'm not a big fan of deathmatch, but MOHAA made me love it. I like the assault/team games a little more though :P

Post by: Ghandi on Wednesday, December 06, 2006, 08:38:52 AM: COD2 mp was nowhere close to the perfection that is COD:UO multiplayer. It does look prettier, though.

Post by: idolminds on Wednesday, December 06, 2006, 10:35:06 AM: CoD4 will be a modern day shooter.

Is CoD4 coming to the PC?

Deja vu. Someone at work today said almost the exact same thing.

I have. I had the UO expansion, but I was unable to play online so I never got the chance. I liked CoD multi when it first came out. It was all strategic. Then it turned into basically a Counter-Strike clone with the way the people began to play the game.

Post by: idolminds on Wednesday, December 06, 2006, 05:48:24 PM: CoD3 so far, no PC version.

CoD4 will be PC, and maybe ported to consoles.

Better be for the PC. CoD started on the PC.

Post by: MysterD on Friday, March 27, 2009, 02:38:05 PM: The ORIGINAL Call of Duty (that was once ONLY on the PC) is actually coming to the consoles.
CoD (Original) is coming to both the XBLA and PSN, eventually (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3173474)
