Cod5? I dont have high hopes for it. No Infinity ward

 

True, but it's by Treyarch, the producers for all the preceding COD games, so I doubt it will be that bad. Sadly though we're back to another WW2 title again...

 

Dude, Call of Duty, Call of Duty 2, and Call of Duty 4 were made by Infinity Ward. Basically all the good ones.

Treyarch made Call of Duty 2: Bid Red One(sucked balls) and Call of Duty 3(sucked as well).

 

actually the best cod, United offence was by teyarch.

 

United Offense was good, but no way better than COD2 or COD4. Plus recent games show the quality keeps on going DOWN.

 

IMO, remember the IMO, it was the best cod, untill cod4.

and teyrach were makign concole CODs, PC FPS>console FPS, so we shall see this time. i liek how its americans vs japanese, thats sounds very instresting.

 

Hmm, they only made two console ones that aren't expansions. Cod2 was console and Cod4 was console and they both rocked

 

Yeah, that's certainly true, though the main cause of that is the console games industry and piracy. The RIAA/MPAA can say all they like about piracy harming their sales, it isn't. PC game piracy is, however, affecting sales, and as a result most companies jump ship to consoles which provide an inferior experience. Some companies later get the chance to port the games to PC, but that always ends up in a worse title than if the game had been designed for the PC from the ground up. There are very few surviving pro-PC developers, Valve are if anything the only major one.

 

And left for dead is coming out on Xbox!

 

MMm, glorious 1280x720 resolution...
<vomits>

 

Xbox can do 1080p...

 

Oh the xbox can, but not the games. Not most of them anyway...

 

Actually many of them can. Especially the big ones.

 

Left 4 Dead, 1080P.

http://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/l/left4dead/

HAH!

 

so they can play 1920x1080 with a card just better than an 1950xtx......yeah, im sure they can...¬_¬

pinot me out to where it says the games res is 1080?

 

This isn't the forum for xbox vs PC discussions, so we won't have that here. However, COD4 is capped at 1024x600, that's proof enough. Case closed.
Remember, the choice of 720 or 1080 is only the resolution the console upscales to, most of the time games are rendered at 640p resolution.
Oh, and spam is right, there is no fact on that page that proves L4D is running at 1080, even though I'm sure a page does print it.

 

Consoles tend to be more efficient at playing games you know.

Sure it wont look at good. It's just that you were talking about games coming out on console and I mentioned it. Plus my newest Xbox cost me 70 bucks, my newest gaming PC cost me 800. A lot of people can't afford an expensive computer just to play games.

 

Whoa, I just realized something. I never finished Bioshock... Holy Crap.

I need to go get that game.

 

Yes, but realistically, and especially outside the US, you will never find a 360 anywhere near that cheap. Granted, they are still cheaper than PCs by a substantial margin, but if you play a lot of games, that cost benefit weakens. New consoles are still £200 here at least, versus perhaps £450 for a decent gaming PC. Let's say you bought 10 games for the console. For the 360, that's £370 if they're all major titles. For the PC, that's around £220 at the most. The cost becomes a little better. If you're at all concerned with decent image quality for a console, then you'll also need an HDTV if you haven't got one already, and they'll be a hell of a lot more than PC monitors, even for the same size, especially with the advent of cheap brands like Digimate.

Oh, and more efficient? What does that even mean?

 

They use less resources to do the same work. Yuu know what I mean. Anyway I cant tell the difference either way. Even on PC, I cant really tell the difference if I run it at 1024x768 or 1600x1200 or even 1920 by whatever the last number is lol.

It doesn't mean I wont build a gaming PC again, because I will. But consoles are very good for the price and graphics. Don't just put them down. You Elitist bastards! lol
