So, it's finally out! Who else has it? Seeing as cod4 is one of the most common topics in #bushtarion I thought I'd make a topic!
Just got it today, and so far so good! I haven't even touched the single player yet, hell I didn't even bother with the cod4 single player for weeks after I got it. The multiplayers where its at!
Seeing as it's pretty much cod4 stuck in WWII gameplay wise with a few extra perks and changes it was always gonna be awesome.
My main annoyance atm is the severe lack of maps, there really is feck all :/ I only got cod4 a few months ago so maybe that was like this when it first came out? I can only hope they release some more pronto as I've only seen like 5 maps.
As for the kill streak perks:
cod4 airstrike > cod5 artillery barrage - Yeah the artillery barrage lasts a fair bit longer, but a) it takes ages to get there meaning it relies more on luck of someone being there at the time they land b) I've ran through a barrage a few times, it seems that unless you get hit directly all it does is shake the ground and blur your vision.
cod5 dogs > cod4 chopper. The dogs are borderline overpowered imo. Yeah you can kill them, but they run pretty damn fast and you often get swamped by 2-3. It's not uncommon for a chopper in cod4 to get feck all kills. So far the dogs have consistently netted me at least 5-6 kills.
For that reason I can see that it will be easier in cod5 to get bigger kill streaks. I've had the game for a few hours and I already have a 24 kill streak. My record in cod4 was 16 after having it for 2-3 months.
So far my fav weapons are the Gewehr 43 and the Thompson. The Gewehr 43 is basically the G3, but to me seems to have more accuracy and seems easier to spam the trigger, no idea why. It does have a pretty damn small magazine size though, and the reload time is pretty ****. But heyho I prefer it to the other single shot rifles so far.
Theres still a **** load of weapons for me to unlock, so we'll see how they turn out!
Anyway, ramble over. You should all get it!
