I have played both, and I think that 4 was better, but I'll let you decide.

Having beaten both of them, I prefer WoW.

Yeah, World of Warcraft is great. o_0

Definitely 4. Five is a step back, at least from a multiplayer only perspective.

None.

Both over rated FPSs, and it gets irritating when my friends talk about it constantly. I don't have it, and I'm glad.

Definitely 4. Recently I have just completely given up playing 5 altogether as it pisses me off too much. 5 has too many problems with the spawning for one. 4 is just better.

I agree, that's why I bought it. Just one thing; I can't get it to have any CPUs on the split screen mode; is this possible?

I assume you mean Bots, in which case, no.

well, call of duty 4 is better in my opinion.

Cod5 just feels like treyarch have taken what infinity ward have done and copied and pasted it into world war 2.

also, altogether treyarchs contribution to the series (cod3 and 5) have been of much lower quality than infinity wards contribution (cod2 and 4). Infinity ward knows what the series is about, whereas treyarch keep putting things in that look good, but don't work, for example the introduction of vehicles into cod3 ruined it, and took away from the whole premise:

its all about foot soldiers and small battles, not massive 24 player matches.

anyway, there you go, my opinion: i think treyarch should go back to spiderman.

5 does have Dualshock compatibility. I'll probably get that as well just for the Dualshock.

Oh wow the controller vibrates, totally worth another £40 ($60 or whatever it is in your currency).

Campaign wise, CoD 4..

But I play online so CoD 5 all the way. The online play is much better to me.

QFE'd. I was about to say 4, but then I started thinking about the last time I playeed it, a year or so ago. I'd rushed through the single player levels and stuff, but got slaughtered in the multiplayer matches. So I took a step back, and realized that, it's really rather stupid, to put it simply.

But, somehow, it's good in it's stupidity.

The thing I like about the multiplayer is the level and unlock system, as well as the learning curve. It takes about four hours of online to become a solid player, and if you have a talent for FPS's, you'll rise to the top of the ranks. Ultimately, it doesn't take lots of time to learn, everyone can fill a variety of roles without having the roles dictated by their classes, and there are many modes to play.

I agree. It's for this reason that I enjoy Battlefield: Bad Company, though a lot more for the realism. Of course, I know if you take a step back, they're pretty much the same. Bad company just focuses on teamwork more than CoD4. To top things off, it's pretty obscure, so I look somewhat cultured :D.

The bad thing about Multiplayer is, for me anyway, that it's out of sync with my country, so I'm slightly slower than other American players, which makes it harder.

I've been playing 5 a bit more over the last few days and I just never seem to do as well on that. Like, consistently never getting any more than 10 kills and almost always getting more deaths than kills. On 4 I can play so much better and get positive ratios and around 20-30 kills pretty consistently. 5 is just harder for some reason. Oh and the servers and spawning on it is totally shite.

Not only online play, but the campaign in Call of Duty 4 completely destroys that of Call of Duty WaW. In WaW, knifing seems to have receded; there seems to be less lunge and less 'lock-on'. Also, the sounds and perks in WaW are subpar. Because of the setting, the guns in the game aren't too good. The maps in WaW, too, suck majorly. They are either destroyed building(s) or some kind of tropical island. The campaign is predictable on the Russian side, but impossible to follow on the American front. Personally, I think even Ace Combat can stand up to Call of Duty WaW.

CoD 4, hands down.

I've been trying 5 out a bit more today and one gun alone has really pulled me back. The M1A1 Carbine. I've never really given it a chance, but today I've just been kicking serious ass with it. Scores like 19-1 and average of 20's with 10 or less deaths. Amazing gun. Though after digressing I think I would still pick 4 overall. Can't wait for Modern Warfare 2.

I really like (Call of duty 4). My dad got so hooked on call of duty 2 (I bought it for him for Christmas) that he played everyday and would get mad when we asked Questions! IT WAS SO SO SO SO FUNNY!!

Thanks, your input was so insightful.

Meaning everyone gets their ass handed to them on there first run. and second, and third.... pretty much till your out of the noob weapons. Its defiantly a game you have to play for a bit to get good.

I admit that I didn't play it extensively, maybe for one hour, but I don't like games like those in general. Maybe COD has a lot more to offer, but it gets irritating when my friends talk about it constantly and say nothing else.

I must say that you are right in saying that there's hype for a reason. I'm not a fan of shooting games, so maybe my opinion might be disagreeable, since it's biased, but oh well!! :P

Woops! I think I voted for WaW instead of 4. :(

I prefer CoD4 because I'm better at it. haha. I've never been able to get into World at War.

Infinity ward > tryarch

Nazi Zombies is the shizz, however.

Call of Duty 5 is my personal favorite.

New Nazi Zombies! <3

if i wanted to fight zombies i'd be playing left 4 dead, not call of duty.

Whichever way you look at it, call of duty:modern warfare 2 is going to blow practically every other shooter out of the water.
