I traded in my PC copy of COD4 and got it for the 360, Prestige Mode had me sold! Has that been brought in yet on the PC with 1.6?

No. Prestige Mode is your consolation prize for the higher price, lower graphics, far lower server cap, lack of the Winter version of the Crash map, and costly DLC. But hey, if giving up all that was worth having a little star next to your name everytime you restart from lvl 1 more power to you.

I just got done playing Broadcast with Benkenobi. It rocks. I get a distinct Goldeneye feeling while playing it.


Honestly I actually prefer it on the 360 to the PC, I don't know it's extremely rare for me to prefer a predominantly PC FPS on a console but with COD4 I get a much more enjoyable experience.

I think it's partly down to XBox Live though, finding any kind of a decent community with the PC version is pretty difficult, absolutely no one bothers to talk or use headsets. Plus sometimes the lower server cap proves it's worth - play a 32+ man game on Shipment and try telling me it's fun - you absolutely cannot! ;)


Well, as for the mics/community it depends on the size of the server.  On a 20 man server almost everyone will have a mic.  ON a 30+ man server it would just be hell to argue with everyone so no one uses them (which is fine with me, I love the intensity).  

Also, hell yes 50 man shipment is fun.  Especially in FFA  It's absolutely hilarious.  You constantly spawn and die.  If you turn on martyrdom sometimes you'll get like 6 kills at once.  If you're really lucky sometimes you'll make it out of the corpse pile, then you get to sit there and unload on the spawn point yourself.  I love doing it.

@IllegalPaladin, 50 people is the "normal" limit but some go even higher.  You can play 50 people on any map, even the tiny box-shaped Shipment as described above.  I usually like 30-40 people, but 50 can be really intense.  CoD4 on PC is almost like 2 games.  You have the tactical "everyone-with-headsets" style game if you play on low pop servers and the insane "blow the crap out of everything" 50 man servers.  Then the 30-40 man servers in between.
