Should I get COD5?

I reckon this is the place to ask :-)
Still fully priced...
I finished COD4 and found it better than the previous ones. Is the 5th also good, or does is resemble COD2 too much?

I've got both. I've not played either as much as I should have. I bought 4 before some exams so that took priority, and 5 before my dissertation. However, from what I've played of them both, 4 is a much better game. Though 5 has had enough time to drop in price that it's probably worth getting anyway.

I'll let some people with more hours racked up tell you more detailed differences.

IMHO, 4 has both good SP and MP gameplay, whilst I find 5's SP not as good, but the MP is on par with 4

, So if you are only interested in MP, go for it, if just for SP, I say give it a miss.

I play CoD5 online a lot. It's great for a, for me anyway, a relaxing, mindless fragfest. (well, I have a light lunch rather than a 'fest' but you know what I mean.

) Free for all and team death match, great fun.

Compared with 4 I found the single player game in 5 rubbish. So much so that I gave up on it 3/4 of the way through. Wait for CoD4 II or whatever they're going to call it.

Modern Warfare II.

I have to agree with above statements. CoD5, I play it from time to time but prefer CoD4. CoD4, better SP then 5.

BTW, both 4 and 5 are on offers sometimes. Checking play.com i a good thing you could do...

It's also worth noting (as far as I know at least) that dMw don't run a CoD5 server, nor have any intention to start running one any time soon. So even if you would be interested in it for the multiplayer you won't be playing the dMw 'style' or on our servers, and it might be hassle to find servers that other dMwers are on (Does it integrate nicely with Steam friends and such?). This may or may not matter to you.

You can add friends through CoD5 though.

an absolute no!, it is such a dissapointment cod5, there are loads of bugs and the gamplay is pants. Although that is a personal oppinion, if you do get it, dont expect it to be any where near as good as cod4, they took a backward step in my eyes

but dont let that stop you buying it :blink:

I liked both games, COD5 is Ã,Â£29.99 through steam and ive just started getting back into the game. Its lots of fun although the single player mode is pants :sideways:
