Yeah COD4 was definitely the high water mark for gaming + DS chatting about the gaming. I think WaW put a fair few off and MW2 never really got them back, plus the forums on here don't feel as engaged any more.

And some people are definitely missed...

You still get full lobbies in CoD4 in no time. It appears to be as popular as ever.

Its popularity is so enduring that the first CoD on the next generation consoles will undoubtedly be a CoD4 HD port......!

They need to bring out "Ultimate Modern Warfare" with all the maps and guns from COD4 and MW2 combined - just lose a few of the more annoying perks and killstreaks.

Classic MP5 users V UMP45 users would be an interesting slanging match.

That would be brilliant. I miss playing on Shipment and Wasteland especially.

For me, any 'ultimate' version of CoD would just be CoD4 with juggernaut, martyrdom and Bloc removed......

Spent a few hours on this earlier - One obvious difference with BlOps and even MW2 IMO, the pace of games is absolutely frenetic!

Still prone to dodgy hosts, and no host migration, but lobbies were filling up straight away, and we never had a problem getting games all night.

Superb. Still.

I think I created a monster here

Can't believe this thread has been resurrected. I'm sure it thought it was put to sleep for good when killed off 2 years ago.

There are some very definite fond memories of playing this game. It was where I got to meet the nicest bunch of guys (bar one or two! ) you could hope to know.

It was where I got into my first ever experience of FPS and online gaming! And I was eased into it and well looked after I have to admit

I miss all the regulars, but I think times for me have moved on where this game is concerned. You'll never get the proper oldies in a game, only the ones that are still playing together today (of which there is nothing wrong - just not the original crowd), and a game of COD4 can just as easily be arranged via voice online.

I doubt you will ever find a crowd so willing to disect a game immediately after playing it and have such laughs at the stupidity of "outsiders" and even within our own group. No one has the time nor the inclination these days. At least all at once.

So here's to:

Red Arrow, Jedi, Reaper, Monkey, Speedy, Monk, Major Blink (RIP), Speedbird, Chrism, Sinner, Dragon, Hea4t, Dooby and anyone else who started out in the beginning that I have been unfortunate enough to miss due to bad memory!

I believe all kudos goes to Arrow, because he was the one that arranged the very first game I gatecrashed.

I miss you all, and have some very fond memories of gaming with you.

And I sincerely hope, that with a bit of luck y'all may be able to find some more of the oldies and bring them back....somehow I doubt it though...

Love to you all who read thisx

Stop it youll have me crying in a minute

i agree with the sentiment,that time from the Beta onwards was a very special time,i was never a FPS player before it(some may well say im still not ),but people banded around each other knowing other players strengths and weaknesses,and we never took ourselves overly seriously,we were like a anti clan,with Mini bringing the tea and biccies from the kitchen on Vacant,and myself giggling in the corner

thanks to all who made the game a special one for me,and i hope to play a few rounds on a game or two in the future

What happened to Blink? He was good friends with Chrism wasn't he?

I think he did me a design on forza 2 back in the day,seemed like a nice chap.


I think some of the old crew are still knocking about;i know i still see Jedi,monk,dragon,arrow and reaper now and again.

Just pointed out someone was trolling when he suggested that Blu-Ray sucks as Apple didn't include it to begin with. Of course he cried and reported me as it seems it's against the rules to label someone, but fine for someone to provoke an argument. Anyway.....

Minni what you playing these days?

When I'm on it's usually Black Ops.

Gonna be getting the lego games when they come out though. They're just good fun. So I guess, I shouldn't get rid altogether. Sometimes just see it laying gathering dust and think that someone else could be making better use of it!
