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.

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 not notice that you were playing a glorified twitch shooter. Actually if you turn aim assist you COD4 feels 80% like a rails shooter...

I actually don't feel like discussing our differing opinions. Why should I? It's not important.

You are the one who interjected CoD, if I recall, and made this thread a comparison thread. I simply gave my opinion, and I stand by every word of it.

As for your summation of CoD, I really don't care what you think. You're not someone I'm worried about in a debate, nor am I interested in debating something as common as "differing opinions." Squabbling over bullet points wastes my time and yours, so don't presume to lecture to me.

If you think CoD sucks, then your opinion is in the minority. I find that reassuring, but it means nothing. I'm sure you find it reassuring that you have a thread full of people willing to debate me, but again, it means nothing. Opinion is one of those things that can't be wrong. One of my favorite CoD4 missions is actually the on rails shooter portion towards the middle, from the plane. I was blown away by the presentation, and the "in your face" narrative, and yes, I feel that the campaign was fantastic, and different enough to warrant praise from me. Deal.
