After a year of rumors, Call of Duty 4 is officially confirmed as a modern title, eschewing it's WWII roots.
I, for one, can't wait. I fucking love Infinity Ward's work on CoD 1 and 2, and I can't imagine what they'll do for modern day warfare and weapons.
Discuss, while our frothing demand builds for a trailer.
Edit: Trailer is up.
Gamespot wrote:For months, rumors have raged that the Call of Duty series would follow in the footsteps of Battlefield, its biggest rival in the military shooter genre, into the modern era of warfare. Today, the franchise's publisher, Activision, made it official. Developed by COD creators Infinity Ward, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare will eschew the franchise's traditional World War II setting in favor of a fictional conflict set during contemporary times.
Unfortunately, the setting is about all that's known about COD4. No details--including platforms--were revealed to the press. Instead of issuing the typical press release, Activision has decided to unveil the game via a trailer that will be shown during the NFL Draft on ESPN at (10 a.m. PDT /1 p.m. EDT) this Saturday April 28.
Although Activision is holding back on the details of COD4, its announcement was not unexpected. This month, gamers were tipped off to the unveiling of something on developer Infinity Ward's Web site. The tease came just over a year after the first rumors about a modern-day Call of Duty first surfaced in the gaming press.
I, for one, can't wait. I fucking love Infinity Ward's work on CoD 1 and 2, and I can't imagine what they'll do for modern day warfare and weapons.

1. There will be at least one scene in which you drive in a HUMVEE and fire from the mounted gun.
2. There will be a night mission.
3. One of your allies will be english with a red beret.
4. The enemies you're fighting will have a nickname like "Krauts" that will be yelled all over the place.
5. Smashing someone's face in with the butt of your rifle does more damage than shooting him with 4 bullets.

Incidentally, i love the CoD games.

I can't think of many games in which this isn't true.

I just love the M1 Garand. I'll miss it in COD4.
Darkwatch. 1 smash is like 5 shots.
EDIT: Oh crap, read it wrong.
CoD 1 and 2 were made by Infinity Ward, and they are full of awesome and win. CoD : Finest Hour, CoD2 Big Red One, and CoD3 were made by Treyarch, and they are full of mediocre and meh.
I have lots of confidence in CoD4.

I fail to see how this is a bigger historical event than a yellow fever vaccine.
or Quake Wars. man that looks like fun
O_o
I'd assume the focus would be on single player, with multi-player there to flesh it out. I also don't think it's meant to replace Battlefield, especially since Battlefield has never had a single player campaign worth speaking of.

but still, they could have chosen a different war. Im already sick of fighting in a desert area a a a a
didnt the info in the OP say "fictional conflict"?
Eh, I guess you're right. I just kinda jumped to conclusions there. But still, odds are this is going to go down against some kind of middle eastern coalition force.
It would be pretty awesome if they did something else though. Like, I dont know. modern war in europe? The US? Something that hasn't been done a thousand timers before?
1)What game doesnt have that?
2)See 1
3)Limey brits
4)I was told this was a de-huminzation thing. Soldiers for a long time were subtley taught not to see the enemy as people. So Russians are Reds, Germans are Krauts, The British were redcoats, The North were Yankees, Vietnamese are Charlies, and so on.
5)You get bonus damage for being awesome, just like in real life.
do you REALLY think we won't be fighting in the desert?
I prefer green or white over dusty brown, yeah.
Though it'll be far more likely we'll be fighting in the desert in CoD4.

could you re-paste that link correctly? that one doesn't seem to work.
Are those actually the "extended and unrated" versions? They look the exact same to me.
