Thanks Grail!
I have played it for about an hour and it is amazing. Beautiful graphics, great sound, and hard as hell! Definitely lives up to the hype, at least so far. Give this one a shot!

Pretty sure COD4 is actually a leap from WWII to modern day warfare. But yeah, I've never played a COD game before either, for the reason that the WWII genre has been grinded to dust.Aazealh said:Never been a fan of Call of Duty, because it takes place during WWII (most boring setting ever IMHO). Please don't hate me.

YOU'RE ONLY SAYING THAT BECAUSE THE FRENCH SUCK AT WW2!!!!111! [/joke]
Anyways, seeing how bad the last two CODs sucked. I'm going to play it safe and rent it.

That's why i'm just going to rent it. I'm not really into getting all the achievements for games on the 360, just playing them is fine enough for me. That and it's cheaper.
Bought the game yest. Wow, what a time I had just to purchase this thing. Jesus. I will say it plays well and the graphics are top-notch. S'gorgeous.
I just got done fighting through this 'middle eastern' city at night to protect a tank on normal.
The game isn't a cake walk walk by any means, I cannot imagine tackling it on the highest difficulty.
So far tho, so good.

Yea I got it last night and played for a few hours. Honestly I wasn't really grabbed immediately besides the awesome visuals. There really wasn't much in the way of a connection I felt to what was going on around me. And frankly the first level was lame (who knew infiltrating a container ship at night during a storm could be so blasé). However it managed to stay interesting until it got friggin' incredible at the sniper level (the same level that was featured during e3). I thought I was playing a beautifully rendered shooting gallery until that level. You got a chance to soak in the visuals and you actually gave a shit about the person you were fighting with. It was just a better designed experience.
After that tho I was back to the shooting gallery. Le'sigh.

So apparently the game isn't "true" HD and only runs at a resolution of 1024x600 (600p) with 2x AA, both on X360 and PS3. Has anybody that owns it here actually noticed something?

I don't see the difference between how a WWII game plays, how a Vietnam game plays, and how a 'Modern Warfare' game plays. Update the graphics, gun names, and color of the enemies, and bam! you've invented a whole new genre of FPSs.
I downloaded the demo:

It IS a lot of fun. I might buy this game when it gets cheaper (i.e. not the cost of 5 volumes of Berserk)

This one is very high on my list to play when I upgrade. All indicators from game reviews (more importantly, PC gamers) suggest this is a good grab. The videos look like game play has a lot of potential, and from previous first person experience, I can make the assumption the feel of the game will be very good. Unfortunately I'm yet to play personally yet.
And even if COD4 was again old school battlefield style, the legendary WW2 setting will always be awesome.

I just installed COD4 two days ago and I must say that while the gameplay doesn't stand out a lot (didn't expect that from a CoD game, though it's still pretty good), its redeeming factor is the atmosphere.
The single player game is incredibly captivating. Few games I played before make you feel the cruelty of war, the waste of life, like this one. And the missions can be very engaging too... blowing up a radar mast doesn't have the same emotional impact as rescuing a wounded pilot beset on all sides by angry mobs.
Sometimes I even felt empathy for the poor bastards I shot as they limped away or tried to shoot me in desperation.
Great cutscenes, great atmosphere. This game is one hell of a single player experience.
Multiplayer is meh... though the xp system is nice.

Not to mention the fact one of your characters dies while you're playing it.
