Dont throw away 6months, you could be dead by June 2008 ;)

When you make a statement you need try make sure its accuate m8.

The CoD2 engine is older than the BF2 one and CoD4 uses that engine.

well the cod2 engine must be tweaked to the moon and back as you dont see the problems that they have in cod2 in cod4, but from 2005 to last night was 3 years so techically i was right you guys just assumed i took the months into account :p
 
Nope, CoD4 MW was slated by many before it released as it was to use the " old CoD2 " engine, obv its been revamped ;)

Its a nice looking game in parts and not so nice in others but hey it runs fast even on older rigs. :)
 
hum bug just say its almost been 3 years, done !

BF2 is old.... so old BF3 should already be out

I found COD4 graphics pretty impressive, oddly the demo I wasnt all that impressed but with the full game it was impressive, I noticed even in crysis some parts like up against a rock it looked blocky/pixely graphics that was on ultra high/vista even.

But still COD4 even if it is a tweeked up old engine, just goes to show u can have killer graphics at good framerates.

BF3 needs to come out ASAP ;)
 
Dont know all are crap IMO, I own all BF games apart from BF2 and BF2142 (which I Beta Tested).

I got all previous ones for next to nothing well after launch in bargain buckets to try get into MP Games, but I prefer SP.

BF 1942
BF RTR
BF SWOWW2
BF Vietnam

I think thats correct and correct order.
 
Its a shame the AI sucks - yes I know its meant for MP, but UT2004's bots manage fine in onslaught battles which are essentially a refined conquest mode.
 
must admit bought it and installed project reality 0.7 and i am very impressed with the team play , even though i am a noobie and die all the bloody time , lol 32 years old and cant stay out of the way , the graphics i find pleasing in cod4 there is something messing up with dynamic lighting sometimes everything looks like it has a light glow round it
 
I think bf2 came out a good 4 months before cod2. But can not cmpare the two really. have to say bf2 graphhics have aged rather well, which highlight what a smashing game it is

CoD2 is based on the quake engine, CoD4 is a whole new engine.. so I thought at least ?

No Cod 1/UO was based on the Quake 2 or 3 engine. With COD2 they made their own with pretty smoke etc. They used this engine again on COD4 as its pretty decent.
 
CoD4 is a strange beast in that it looks great in some places (the middle eastern town area, smoke and explosions, deformable scenery etc) and yet every now and then it lets itself down with some sub-standard textures - typically inside buildings. Right on the very first level (SAS training), you look at the snack machine and it looks complete turd.

Overall I think the engine works very well for this type of game though, it's a lot more fast'n'furious than most SP FPS and so you don't get a lot of time for sight-seeing and examining textures closely.

Having said that no gamer should be without a copy of BF2 if only for the 64 man infantry only battles & Huge maps as they are sheer online gaming Heaven :cool:

I totally agree here, I have been playing BF2 since the day of release and still enjoy it to this day.

Bring on BF3 :)
 
I played BF2 for almost a year before just exhausting myself of it, think I gave up gaming cos it got so quiet then supreme commander took over for a while ;)
 
I think if you were to take the best bits out of BF2 & COD4 MW you would have a pretty good gaming experience. Graphic wise COD4 can look a lot like COD2 but reskinned in terms of the maps, layouts, building structures and how you navigate around them.

The main differences for me is that maps are so much bigger in BF2 to COD4. As a result the experience is always going to be different. Where COD4 wins with me big time is the ranking system. A lot of small unlocks in small bursts is a hell of a lot better than getting an entire new kit after months of gameplay. Plus ranking system in COD 4 deters stat padders and bad server admins who just kick people so they can go as commander and whore all the points.

COD 4 is more of an arcade type shooter whilst BF2 with the right Mod is probably a bit more tactical. All imho of course ;)
 
Someone out there im sure could easily create an amazing BF clone mod for COD4..... only thing is ive noticed by the time it takes these modding communities to come up with one BF3 or whatevers about to be released !

I think BF3 with updated graphics imagine the tanks/vehicles and Solider models....even there facial expressions could be taken to new levels and part of the teamplay, you wouldnt even need to go to work ;)
