I'm sorry but I really think CoD4 is overrated. The gameplay doesn't have enough depth to really take that much skill. Something a truly engaging online shooter must have. It's only addictive because of the RPG like experience system. People basically stand still when aiming down sights and there is very little health. The more health a person has the longer the fire fight and therefore the more consistent a person's aim must be. At the same time the person has to strafe well to make themselves a harder target. Get the idea?And if anyone wants my perspective here's a list of the shooters (and I only play shooters) I've played over the years.:
Doom, 2 , ultimate, Final, 3
Quake, 2, 3 arena, 4
Halo: CE , 2, 3
Half life 1, 2 ep.1, ep.2
Ratchet and Clank 1, 2, 3, future
Resistance 1, 2
Gears 1
Medal of Honor
Call of Duty 2, 4
BTW my first game was Doom which I started playing when I was 5.
The bottom line is Call of Duty is completely overrated and really only entertains people new to the online shooter realm. |
Errr all popular shooters are "noob" if you think about it.
The typical fps:
- Firefights in enclosed spaces usually 20-50m at maximum up to 100m at most.
- Players never miss where they aim their first shot, recoil is always predictable.
- Sniping is easy, when it reality hitting a moving target is extremely hard.
- Body-shots under-rated, they still kill in one shot if you aim well in reality.

Well as a basic rule; the more unrealistic the shooter, the more skill it takes. Otherwise a shot to anything would have the charcter holding his leg in pain or something. Fun HuH!

You mean like in Gears of War where you have to fire a 50 round clip into a bad guy with a standard assault rifle to make him drop? lol
They still have the staggering animation, to set you up for close kills, but that was one of the more annoying things about Gears. For all the "bad-ass-ness" of the Lancer rifle, if you think about it, it's real world effect would be more comparable to an automatic BB gun.
But a lot of games have the whole hopping around on one foot animation for leg/foot shots these days. Comic relief.
And yes, except in extreme and dire situations, taking even one direct hit in real life (extremity, body, head, wherever) means you are being medevac'ed out of a fire fight.
Reality doesn't work too well for video games in many respects.
