Forums - Gaming - Disecting COD4 popularity

it's a good casual FPS, rewards you even if you're not really good, encouraging you to PLAY and don't really be "scared" of the game (except when you're playing Sabotage and you're the only one left :P). also, once you earn a weapon you just go and use it, no worries if it's not on that map, or your "class" don't have it or all the positions for that "class" are taken.



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

Cod 4 is like the popular persons videogame, its kinda following the footsteps of halo.

In the americas, if you want to fit in with all the bros and cool people, you need to play cod 4. That being said, COD4 could be a much much worse game and still sell just as well. (Thankfully, it is a very good game.)

Still, the quote "Boiii lets go knock a few back and play xbox live boiii" I hear that a lot at university.

Believe me, it isn't just America. It's pretty much everywhere.

Yeah people go crazy for it at my school

Its popularity is like that of a GTA now



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I want a shooter that is like Golden eye 64. With 4 player split screen. Where you can all just kill each other and have a laugh with people in the same room as you



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

That's pretty much Halo for ya, or Timesplitters 2 or 3, which were basically GE/PD reincarnated.  COD also has splitscreen offline MP, but its just not the same or as fun as classic style console FPS games like Halo or Timesplitters.

Or even beyond. It's actually kind of scary. It's the one series that EVERY SINGLE PERSON with a current gen console will own at least one iteration of- even the Wii owners have WaW.

Changing the setting from ww2 to the modern era reinvigorated an already hugely popular series.

It made the game fresh.
