R6V2 was good and all, but I think that Cod4 was a lot more addicting to me then R6V2. Just the game it self to the multiplayer. I also know own CODMW2 and I will say that R6 is going to have a hard time competing with the #1 selling game of 09 and today making over a billion dollars. COD ALL THE WAY!!!!HATERS

Nice review there Ken.

What do you think of these online games, some old, some newer. I feel that they represent more realism (although in very different environments). You can test them by downloading demos or at least one of them is a completely free game which is remarkable for its quality.

Vietcong

Global Operations (very realistic weapons and physics in city environment)

True Combat Elite (free and very realistic)

Yeah,im a huge fan of both games, so biased is pretty much ruled out. as far as TOTAL realism, both games pretty much lack that- COD4- nearly endless stamina including "halo jump, run and gun, spray and pray" tactics. R6V2- all the guns have very similar firing mechanics (Its all the same!) and you can see around corners somehow. But then again: would a completely 100% realistic game really be that fun to play? As the saying goes; War is Hell! Anyways, yeas-Cod is much more fast paced and better loooking (although some features are crap- such as the 'full auto' barret.50 spraying). The cover features are very true to the style of game it is as well- prone, crouch, stand. R6V2 is also realistic to the SWAT type of game it is (No one is going to lie prone in the middle of storming a biohazard filled apartment for hostages or whatever)Also the game is more tactical- anyone w/o cover is a dead man.

My winner R6V2, but dont get me wrong- COD4 is a great game. Cant wait for MW2!

2009-04-28T04:14:00.000-07:00

CoD 4 a tactical shooter... LMAO! You guys really need to try other game I think. Should take a looks at ArmA with the ace mods. It's the closest you can get to reality so far and that is near the system they use in the army since it's the same engine. RB6 is dead since Lockdown and CoD have never really been a tactical shooter. You all should get a looks at http://dslyecxi.com/bestoftactical.html and see what I'm talking about. If you looks for CQB go for something like Athena Sword or SWAT4 and if you looks for long range go for ArmA with the Ace mod and a sound mod. In ArmA almost anything is possible. ArmA 2 is coming out this year also. The community is also quite older than any other game because only to know all the stuffs in the game takes a lot's of time. Mapping control is not even easy since there's more stuffs in this game than any other game available all grouped together. With so much features such as, more than one way to shoot a grenade, you can fly helicopter and planes, there's freelooks, breath holding, can adjust scope, change the mags in most weapons, mag check (no way to know how much bullets you still have other than just by the weight of the gun or to have counted them), weapons deployment, Stamina, Encumbrance, Jams and Failures to Fire, Overheating and Barrel Changes, Maps/Compass/Watch/GPS/NightVision/Binoculars, islands that measure up to 400 square kilometers, destructible environment, support for peripherals such as TrackIR, Same engine that they use in army, Injury system and so much more. I still didn't have tried all the weapon in this game since there's so much with the Ace Mod. For CQB I suggest going for Athena Sword. It's just the best for CQB game so far. Balancing of weapons is quite nice, AI is not bad at all, room engaging are good and there's even a fluid stance. So far ArmA is hard to use in CQB because it was not really made for this. Creating map for CQB is quite hard... Believe me on this! Here is one of the trailer for ArmA 2. Can't wait! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNV8UbzA9UM&hd=1

2009-03-23T00:56:00.000-07:00

ok this forum has gotten a little out of hand lol, it all comes to perspective and how u like to play games not "this is better" and "that is better"

this forum is really like comparing COD4(Call Of Duty 4:'Modern Warware')=FPS with DOW(Dawn Of War)=RTS

it isnt right, but in any case i do like COD4 more than Rainbow, u can manouver into any position u want (u would probs get a cramp in real life running around crouched) and sure the guns are unrealistic as u said with the .50cal but u can only fire it once accuratly cause it has massiv recoil i mean common its called a game, if u want the real experience then go join the army and get killed, there aint no respawn and press F their.

and in cod4 there is breaching and infultraion u just have to find the right server. sure some matches u cant even spawn and other matches u pawn so much that people think u are hacking but thats the way it goes.

and if u want to hold more ammo put Bandolier on and if u want more nades put Fragx3 on its not hard. and obviously u think u can hold lots more than that but common that stuff aint lite. U run around with 3 grenades extra clips of ammo the gun itself, flash grenades and smokes u wont be able to move and u will just be using hip fire.

and BTW almost every FPS says they got real people from the army to come in and help them and some do but the only way to really be sure isd if u were there so stop assuming things. GAH!!

2009-03-10T00:47:00.000-07:00

R6v2, is more fun to me. and whoever said pc games don't have better graphics may need to update their system.
Vegas 2 online had more merit to me than COD4, COD turned out to be just like every other COD game, it's 3 with updated graphics and different weapons. see how i did that. so Vegas "1.2" wins over COD
"3.1"

2008-10-05T23:02:00.000-07:00

COD4 is not tactical. You can't take cover, theres no breaching, you can fire a barret .50 cal standing up really fast. It's much more like halo except that you die faster. R6V2 is tactical, and theres no random perks. How is that tactical. (I'm going to magically make my gun fire twice as fast now). If you want tactics, then go with R6V2. If you want to run around shooting from the hip then go with COD4.

2008-08-17T09:40:00.000-07:00

For Anonymous 3, just because 14-16 year olds run around for the most part doing that (shooting from the hip) doesn't mean that there aren't people who actually play like their life depended on it. Which is why I prefer the PC version to the Xbox version. There are so many mods out there that cut down on the spray and pray, which make COD4 a much better realism shooter than just playing it stock out of the box. But even then just in stock version if you have a group of people who know how to cover their sectors and at the same time know how to use the cover available in COD4 they will be able to out gun and out maneuver most of the opponents that they go against who just run and gun.

2008-08-17T09:34:00.000-07:00

For anonymous 2 Americas Army is actually being developed by guess what Game Developers... There are no actual soldiers in the development team. The only soldiering they do is they go to Ft Lewis once a year to "play" with weapons and talk to people. I'm not saying AA doesn't have it's merits but it is just another military simulator. I mean seriously you run out of ammo faster in AA than you do in COD4. And in AA your cyclic rate is set to 650 - 800 depending on the weapon. In COD4 on the other hand the different weapons have different ranges of cyclic rates. Just because it's being developed as an army game does not mean it is the best at military realism. Remember AA is a recruiting tool. Hell you can't even knife, or hit someone with the butt of your gun in AA. In COD you can at least Knife someone.

2008-07-22T07:29:00.000-07:00

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Personally I tend to stay behind cover and kill all the noons that enjoy running around in the open emptying their magazines.

What is a tactical. I would tell most folks to look it up in Joint Pub 1-02. In which case that means that there no true tactical simulators. All of these games are mere military simulators.

Of course your experience will largely be determined by your setup. If your setup is 100 inches of display and has a subwoofer that can crack a foundation you would know that nothing else feels like COD4. If you play COD4 in your dormroom on a 19 in monitor you might be missing something.

2008-07-22T01:28:00.000-07:00

COD 4 is a military simulator??? Are you fucking kidding me! as a member of the armed forces ( i know you won't beleive me. but it's true) you can suck it. Ok, go play COD 4 and then you know how to handle a fire fight, Why don't you go run in the middle of a field and fire off an entire magazine from your hip, let's see how far your "simulator" gets you. ok so there is no true simulator for a commercial video game system, but COD4 is about as far away as realism as you can get.

2008-06-05T03:26:00.000-07:00

COD4 isn't a tactical shooter, it's a Linear,run & gun arcadey shooter.You have no control over team members, you're led around by your nose until you get to the next trigger, the only thing you have to think about is where you're standing. Verdict = Duck Hunt with great graphics. If you want console tactics you're best off trying GRAW 2.

2008-05-27T07:38:00.000-07:00

Well u cant cant call cod4( the perfect military simulator) When Americas Army (pc, or xbox) already took that title. But please dont come tell me that cod4 is more realistic than americas army, when the game was developed by true soldiers, and not by a bunch of gamers and designers that dont know much about the game, and guns they are creating for use. But lets not get of topic, r6v2 probably isnt a better military game as its more of a swat team type of game. you have to use tactics just like cod4, and befaore i continue i must say that theirs no point of comparing them when they fall in diffrent categories, as one is a military game, with military like senery and the other is swat. R6v2 is stiil more fun to play, but cod4 has better graphics.

2008-05-05T18:01:00.000-07:00

I would only recommend R6V2 to the hard core Vegas fans. It's better characterized as version 1.2 than 2. There are no real advances over the first game minus some new customization and a sprint feature. Nothing that I would consider revolutionary. It's basically just advancing the storyline to setup the next R6 which will take place somewhere else, hopefully with a new engine and design that truly takes the game forward.

2008-05-01T21:49:00.000-07:00

I play the PC versions of COD 4 and Vegas, would you recommend I get Vegas 2? I know you don't play the PC version, but I guess the 360 one is similar. Also, do you have any thoughts on Turok?

I frankly hated a few sections of COD 4's single player, but it was still fun.
