First post and CoD4 Beta
Posted on September 3, 2007
So this is the first post! Exciting!
I guess this blog will be separate from my livejournal. I’ll post more about my thoughts on games, movies, and the like. Instead of my artistic endeavors.
So what better way to kick things off than with Call of Duty 4!
I’m SUPER excited about this game and just so happened to get into the 360 beta a couple of days ago. While playing on the console is nothing like it should be (as far as fps’s go, I’m a mouse and keyboard man), I’m happy to say that the game is bad ass. It still feels like Call of Duty but has a lot of new and wonderful improvements that’ll make it super fun for a long time.
“Bashing” people in older versions of CoD has always been a wonderful way to show someone what’s up. But now you get STAB them! It’s extremely satisfying to get someone in the back, but even more so to run up and nail them in the face while they are trying to shoot you.
C4 is wicked fun and way under used (like… no body uses it!). Last stand (when you die, instead of just respawning you fall down and get to shoot people with your pistol until they kill you) is pretty satisfying but also annoying sometimes, like when they kill you from far away and you are stuck laying there with no one to shoot.Killing people through walls (yeah! bullets go through walls now!!) is really satisfying (I thought it’d be lame).
And shooting down helicopters (getting 7 kills in a row to bring out a helicopter is EXTREMELY rewarding) with RPG’s is just awesome.
I’ve gotten it down so I can play at least proficiently, but the controls are just too weird. It takes about ten minutes to spin around, so you die from getting shot in the back a lot. And aiming can be tricky, just in general. This game is really meant to be on the computer, and I can’t wait for it to hit!
