Best single-player FPS in existance still.

There is just so much you do in it, you can't really compare it. It's just the pacing. You use boats, buggies, gravity. You fight off hordes of zombies and you drag around baddies like a rag. You annihilate dozens of War of the World look alikes and more. It's the pacing that makes this the best, and it's hard to beat.


As for COD4's campaign. Weak, that's all I have to say.

You think CoD4's campaign was weak?

Wow....

Your credibility just took a huge nosedive in my eyes. The only real weakness in that campaign was its length. The difficulty was well balanced, the levels were inventive and varied, and the gameplay was fun and cinematic. If you think that game's campaign was weak, then I can only count on you for two things. Saying AAA PC related games are great, and rolling a lucky 8 ball for all other multiplatform reviews.

You understand what I'm telling you, I hope. If you can say the campaign in CoD4 sucked, then I can't really trust your opinions on any other game. Sure, most people have fluke/wrong opinions on a few games that they either never experienced correctly, or when something just stuck in their craw wrong. But something like this, is so opposite from my, and the accepted tastes of most gamers, that it calls in to question the basic credibility of your opinion.

Like the guy who told me that he didn't really like Zelda, the other day.

If that guy tells me that....Bayonetta sucks, or if that guy tells me that FFXIII was boring....can I ever really believe him? Or would it not be better for me to believe the opposite of him, since our tastes are so entirely different.

There is no 4 hours length of time in Half-Life 2, that's as good as the rather concentrated and well paced campaign in CoD4. That's my opinion, however I still think HL2 is probably the better game due to its runtime amongst other factors.

I certainly don't think EITHER of them suck. If I did, you shouldn't trust my opinion, because I would be either wrong, ignorant, or biased.

Might as well tell me Deus Ex sucked, while you're at it, and concrete discreditation.

Actually Vlad321 knows FPS games very very well...and is not the only one thinking COD4 is lacking. He probably jsut didnt feel like discussing COD4 in a hl2 thread.

You made a statement before that COD4 has more variety than HL2...amongst other things...and that its only drwback is the short campaign. I could write an essey on how i disagree with that statement but I figure maybe I could let you explain what you mean.

How does a game with no vehicles, no in game character dialoge or non shooting missions, no puzzles, no imaginitive weapons and no shooting tactics other than standard shoot/duck and cover have more variety than half life 2?

Face it...you were most likely just blown away with the COD4s presentation and its "in your face" narritive to notice that you were playing a glorified twitch shooter. Actually if you turn aim assist COD4 feels 80% like a rails shooter...
