Forums - Microsoft - Call of Duty 4 has gone gold...

Legend11 on 23 September 2007

It's still set for a Nov 5th release date, at least we now know there's no chance of it being delayed :)

"CoD 4: Modern Warfare is a new action-thriller that will arm gamers with the most advanced and powerful arsenal of modern day firepower to fight a new war in the world’s most treacherous hotspots. Infinity Ward community manager FourTwoZero revealed that the game has reached gold status and has been approved by Sony & Microsoft. An official announcement is expected soon."

I usually rag on the Call of Duty games, but this one actually looks pretty damn good.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

You mean the phrase, Leo? "Gone Gold?"

 

Edit: From Wikipedia....

Gold or general availability release

The gold or general availability release version is the final version of a particular product. It is typically almost identical to the final release candidate, with only last-minute bugs fixed. A gold release is considered to be very stable and relatively bug-free with a quality suitable for wide distribution and use by end users. In commercial software releases, this version may also be signed (used to allow end-users to verify that code has not been modified since the release). The expression that a software product "has gone gold" means that the code has been completed and "is being mass-produced and will be for sale soon." Other terms for the version include gold master, gold release, or gold build.

The term gold anecdotally refers to the use of "gold master disc" which was commonly used to send the final version to manufacturers who use it to create the mass-produced retail copies. It may in this context be a hold-over from music production. In some cases, however, the master disc is still actually made of gold, for both aesthetic appeal and resistance to corrosion.

Have all versions gone gold? Is there any difference from the 360 to PS3 version?

What are you smooking?

same assests + same engine = looks the same

The phrase "gone gold" was stolen from Sony; CoD4 looks green on 360, normal on PS3...

Congrats leo j you continue to outdo yourself.
Do you post here because you're banned from every other gaming forum on the internet?



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

I like how he how (again) made a completely erronous statement, and (again) completely ignored the guy who corrected him, choosing rather to... claim the 360 version of the game is greener? Wtf?

Everyone that is in the COD4 Beta knows how great this game is on line. The Xbox Live is so much better developed at this point making the Xbox 360 game the version to get. On line is so good that COD4 has a good chance of becoming the Xbox Live Champion, displacing Halo 3.
