COD4: 2 Questions...

[SooTyLaD]

Got a couple of questions about COD4 on the PS3...

1) when you do the bit in the past, and you're up at the top of the hotel and ready to snipe... i took out the guy making the deal... but when it goes back to the future, the story continues as though i didn't kill him (the bald guy with the beard) - i'm a bit confused as to the flow of the story could anyone enlighten me? is it something to do with the wind and i actually missed the fatal shot or something?

2) is it me or is the bit 15 years previous (when you and your captain are all cammo'd up) one of the best fps sequences yet to grace the gaming world... i though it was absolutely amazing

as soon as i read the post mentioning pricey, i stopped looking at this thread incase anything else was disclosed that i didn't wish to know... but its completed now so all is well...

BLOODY.
GOOD.
GAME.

definitely my favorite game for a long long time... possibly even since metal gear 3... i only got my ps3 on thursday, and apart from playing a couple of demos, i've been on nothing but COD4 - now that thats done i can mix in some online COD play with the two games that came with the console, uncharted and ninja gaiden

no idea why, but i enjoyed playing it on the ps3 much more than playing other fps games on pc... just somehow better

Still can't complete this game. It makes me stupidly angry. I hate it.

stuck on the 12 minute thing where you gotta key in the missile abort codes?

i gotta say it took me a good 10 attempts - but its good that if you do a section quick enough it will give you a checkpoint

can't remember another bit being amazingly tricky, is this the bit?

I've never done it before in a game, but i actually fancy starting it again right away on a harder setting... normally this is what i'd do after maybe a year but i just can't get enough!

when i finally clocked the corridor bit, it was all to do with an initial well placed grenade launcher blast, followed by some fast accurate M4A1 Sopmod (this is the best gun i've ever used in an FPS! - can't seem to get it in the MP mode tho?) action... then push up... always push forward and the boys will follow...

but yeah to get the checkpoints be quick

noooooooooooooooooooooooo! When playing COD4 (especially) its best to forget you have anyone in your squad. Assume your on your own. From what I can remember in the NFITWR level they are useless anyway.

My advice for that level: Use a guide to find out where all the checkpoints are and what times they appear at. Aim to get to the fast as possible so see the checkpoint message and keep trying until you get every single checkpoint. I really don't see many people being able to do the latter parts of that level without checkpoints, as its just plain evil in places.

right, i will bow to your superiority as i only did in so far in normal mode (due to it being my first console fps and i didn't have much confidence without a kb/mouse)

i'll bear that in mind next time round on veteran if i can get there
