So the next instalment for Call of Duty is Infinate Wafare .....
Not really looked at the new release but what has interested me is they have remastered COD4:
QuoteCall of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered
One of the most critically-acclaimed games in history, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is back, remastered in true high-definition, featuring improved textures, physically based rendering, high-dynamic range lighting and much more for a new generation. Relive the iconic campaign as you are transported around the globe with Capt. Price, Gaz and Soap across fan favorite missions, including "All Ghillied Up," "Mile High Club," and "Crew Expendable." Team up with your friends in the online mode that redefined Call of Duty introducing killstreaks, XP, Prestige and more in customizable, classic multiplayer modes.

The snag? You have to buy the 'Legacy Edition' of the Infinate Warfare release.....at a premium price :angry:
Just give me COD4 Remastered please!! That's all I want!!
Anyone found anything on Dedi servers for the PC version of this? Mods? I doubt it but we can always hope.

Anyone able to find cheaper pricing for this?
Looks like another over the top pricing model, unless the pre-purchase edition comes with the remastered game?

I still have the original I think I will pass
I'm probably going to get it, I have the original but if the remastered version is the same with up to date graphics then I'm happy to buy it. Miss playing it a lot
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is included in the Legacy, Legacy Pro and Digital Deluxe editions of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
15. Will Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered have dedicated servers?
Yes, it will
From their official faqs.
I'm very very tempted, but only for the CoD4 element.
I loved cod 4, the melee, the airstrikes, claymores for goalposts...
So are we going back dedicated servers you say. But it is still pricy
I am looking forward to this game, it will be a real blast to get this play this in its new graphics and to be honest the new COD don't look to bad really and should be some fun to try out. Glad to see people who are Intrested in this old game
Quote from: BrotherTobious;419033So are we going back dedicated servers you say. But it is still pricy
If they are not purely paid for but I'm sceptical.
can we not just host a cod 4 server for a couple of months for old times sake and save ppl money?
Quote from: sulky_uk;419037can we not just host a cod 4 server for a couple of months for old times sake and save ppl money?
Nice idea, scratch that itch and get over it, the game was retired due to new things coming along! Save many people a load of cash and play the game we actually liked not the one they will release and probably mess up.
Quote from: albert;419038probably mess up.
They seemed to have done a good job on it so far since all they really done was reworked the graphics, the copies on PS4 all seemed to be very good and work well just like the old game, there are a few Easter eggs in it but it would be interesting to see if people with the old game could play with the remastered one ? I doubt it but it would be great if that would work. I am still getting the new one and can't wait to see what that game looks like in some nicer graphics
Ya... nice idea but not giving them £40 for it. Loved the game 1st time around but 'been there done that' in this case. No real desire to go back.

That's fair enough, but if they had released a remastered version on its own I bet they would sell more copies of it than the new release.
It begs the question why have they remastered it? Because it's a cracking game and they have done it to pull people in to buying the new title.
I wouldn't have batted an eyelid on buying the new COD but it got my attention because of the remastered COD4
If they sold the remaster at a reduced price (£15-20), I'd probably pick it up - if a bunch of other dMw were keen. Even then I don't see it lasting beyond a few weeks, which that sort of cash would be alright for. But I know I won't touch the new rubbish* so that £40 tag is just too high.
*don't really know if the new CoD games are rubbish, but the multilayer turned completely ridiculous with nukes and all that nonsense, and the single player just tries to recapture the magic of that one chap with the moustache over and over. Repetitive.

Now that is sense.
let's do this!
Question: will more dMw members have cod4 already than dMw members who buy the new one? If we're keen on that type of game then why not run a season of whichever is most popular. I recall actually being able to get a few kills at cod4. No complaints here.
Rogue, did you play cod4 originally?
If enough get behind this it could work. I'd be up for it.
Quote from: albert;419044.Rogue, did you play cod4 originally?
Yeah I did whenit first came out, I played it on Xbox 360 as I was a while ago when I just started gaming. It was one of my favourite games to play, I didn't do to much online as I was new to it and didn't like the hostility of online gaming but played a good few to get me to max level
Well the game in dMw was super popular for a good few years until CSGO came into the pitcure. The server was popular and gameplay fun. Thing is the original ran on almost any rig. If the new versio has beefed up spec requirements that their latest installment will need then it could reduce interest.
Yeah I guess that is a possibility that the upgraded graphics could be so good that it might not run of some people's PC's. I only got to play cod 4 on PC when me and a few friends went to laser quest for the first time ... we didn't play the last game because we were having to much fun on cod 4. It's only 8 pounds for it and that ain't bad considering how these games are always expensive. Would love to play this with you all tho in what ever one you decide to old or new
yee har found my COD 4 case, got the cd...no booklet for cd key..booo cant believe they still want £20 for it on steam
Just under £8 on Amazon ;)
I have a backup of my player profile, lvl 40 (I think was the limit). And also I wouldn't be surpirsed if you highly professional and upstanding sysadmins have left the server in tact but disabled(?)
I would join for some cod4 fun, didnt spend enough time ingame, bought it when the hype was over but our own ded server with fellow inmates would be great fun. The old COD4 of course.
Quote from: Chaosphere;419046If enough get behind this it could work. I'd be up for it.
meh i got the original from years back, wont go out and buy it again even if specs are upgraded i dont really wanna pay close to £50 to re-buy it,,, if they sold it on its own and slightly cheaper definitely but, infinite warfare looks like it sucks b**ls too much
Well this afternoon I watched a CoD4 Pro player from back in the day stream a play test.
Not impressed. https://twitter.com/TheyCallMePansy/status/795672001423822853 (sweary)
I must say I don't see the point in buying this, may as well fire up the old one.
Yep gibbo I was suggesting the old one!! :)
Agree with what others have said. Not keen on the new one.

is it just the code or is it a disc ?
Quote from: RogueTaylor;419438is it just the code or is it a disc ?
Boxed disk.
Quote from: OldBloke;419444Boxed disk.
kk thanks oldie, i sadly don't have a disc tray lol
It's likely the disk won't install anyway, I found after searching the web that on Windows 10 it tends to stick at a certain point not far from the beginning. All you need are the files off the disk and the code. I can upload the files from the disk if anyone who needs them for install. You then just run the setup from the HDD and input your code. After that you upgrade to v1.6 with one update then 1.6-1.7 with another update. Add a replacement no-cd .exe so the single player will run without a disk. Multiplayer runs without a disk anyway.
ok the guys what i will do is look for an appropriate server then link the ip up here, but by the looks of things a server can be made on game but i dont know if that will work?

You're a bit of a legend, oldie.
Tuesday the 22nd then :D
Who will be there?
Count me in chaos, would love to see how you old people do at this old game ... Considering how good everyone was at soldat ;)
My brand new GOTY version has arrived and, as mentioned by Albert, it fails to install from the disk (I'm running W10 + anniversary patch).
I'm currently copying the disk to my HDD as it should install from there according to info found on t'net.
Insert Game CD into PC drive
Copy complete contents into a temporary "COD4" folder.
When complete run "setup.exe" from the folder, enter CD key and installation should run smoothly. Only install the game and nothing else. It then runs Direct X installation and you are ready to go from the desktop icon.
Quote from: Chaosphere;419480You're a bit of a legend, oldie.
:withstupid:
Yep i will be there :)
The GOTY version code can be applied to Steam and downloaded automatically I read somewhere.
il be there for sure
out tonight but will get it installed for later. Thanks oldie again for the server and the other thing, did you have to prod the hamsters hard to get it running?
Quote from: sulky_uk;419509... did you have to prod the hamsters hard to get it running?
We had the server files backed up (thanks Whitey) so it was relatively painless - open a few ports and kill Punkbuster basically.
Nice one

PB should *not* be used.
I've ordered this off Amazon and installed it. Never played it but hope to join up with everyone from dMw.
So having installed from the DVD (no PB, no DirectX), can anyone post up some links for the correct patches so I can install them in order please?
COD4central seems to be mentioning more patches than are mentioned earlier in this thread, so I just wanted to check which ones to do!
http://www.cod4central.com/cod4-patch.php
these are the ones i used, just extract and run the batch file and it will do it all for you
http://www.moddb.com/games/call-of-duty-4-modern-warfare/downloads/call-of-duty-4-modern-warfare-all-patches
Thanks, with a bit more reading I found I needed a 1.6 patch (included all previous) and then the 1.7 patch. Now downloaded and updated. Now to see if I can find the dMw server in the browser.
Edit: dMw server found and added to favourites! :thumbsup:
Done the updates to 1.7 thanks Sulky.
Please could someone post a list of commands and video settings I should be using for max advantage :p
Thanks.
Patched and ready to go!
Quote from: Mikep1212;419592video settings I should be using for max advantage :p
please dont :)
The game runs sweetly on any rig under 5 years old. One of the best optimised games of recent times.

What night you got free this week chaos ? Do another night then of this maybe? We can see how many turn up tomorrow night and go from there :)
Only really Thursday, but I would suggest running a poll to see when people want to do it, if tomorrow doesn't happen / doesn't have good numbers.
Typically Tuesday is the only night I can't get on either this week, can be available any day though.
Yeah you need atleast 6 people at a minimum and even then I ain't sure at least with 8 people you got a good 4v4 going on. I am more then happy to do multiple night of they go well because it should be a fun little evening with a few games of this going on. We won't to get as many as poissble tho I can't remember how many it is that is max for the server weather it's 10 or 12 people but if we can get that then great we could then swap the teams around and have a good laugh as we hunt each other down while oldie being out his no scope 360 head shots :D
its the 22nd, but if people can not make it im sure if we start a poll up for the best day we can find a better day ??
Due to someone calling in I'll at work I will no longer be able to show as I am covering his shift, I would have a poll started but I don't know how to set that up on the forums

Awww Gibbo, we will have to do it again then when ever one is able to join
I am up for this today, but rogue is right, we need more ppl
Quote from: main;419831I am up for this today, but rogue is right, we need more ppl
sadly i aint sure how many people are going / want to do this tonight so hard to say if its worth doing or not sadly
