got this today as a slightly early birthday pressie from my girlfriend... I'd been dropping really obvious hints about the game for ages and i was really looking forward to playing it since i loved cod3 online. Put the disk in the console tonight after she fell asleep - i'd been waiting all day to play it - and it locks up about a minute into the tutorial mission. after that it does the same, but about 30 seconds in, then it won't boot at all - each time it crashes with a short nasty sounding beep and now i get nothing much but the red ring of death.

gah!!!!

looks like i should be able to get the thing fixed for free under the extension warranty, but no 360 for me for a couple of months.

Its exactly 1 year and 1 day since it was bought last year too...

Is the PC version any good? I might see if i can swap it for that tomorrow. i've got a geforce 7600 card with 512mb and a the processor is a dual core athlon 64 3800.

I've played it through a couple of times now and it's prolly my fave shooter to date. Used to be Farcry but now I think COD4 takes it.

On another note, I'm writing a novel based on the game, if anyone's interested in reading. I've got the prologue done, working on the rest this weekend.

Best fps I have played since Call of Duty 2! Just WOW! I cannot fully say how much I like this game!

Anyone else notice that Capt. Price from COD2 is back in 4?

I loved the gunship level, a nice break from the regular game to get some fun blasting in hehe. The bit in the American mission was messed up at the end too!

Yeah most exellent game. Been playing it online for a while now and it's completely taken over from Battlefield 2142. The clan I belong to now has an empty 2142 server and a full COD4 server - stacks of fun especially on Hardcore settings.

Playing PC version on a E6750 with an 8800GTS 640MB - graphics are amazing!

I'm usually *blah* at playing games, either from boredom or noobishnish (?) but I was up 'til 3:30 this morning playing COD4 on my new XBOX 360... That should tell you something about how I like the game.

Can't wait to try some multi player action... although I think I'm gonna need a lot of band aids

Just got this, didn't like it at first, but I'm with the SAS running away from a Helicopter in a paddock. It's insane. Enjoying it a fair bit now.

by far the most insane part is the level you unlock after completing it on the plane where you have to rescue the hostage on veteran its insane if not impossible. ALso the cheats you unlock when you collect all the laptops throughout the game

1. Frag out - when you throw a grenade it explodes as if you threw 5
2. Slow mo - Running through levels on this is awesome

Haha, "Fighting at 40,000 ft" on Veteran Difficulty is possibly one of the most astoundingly difficult things I've ever seen on a screen. I honestly think my head is going to implode, it's so difficult.
