THE WORDS! They'll drift away without the _!
Looking forward to it.

Not sure if I will be able to get it on day 1 though, due to work.

There's only one thing I need to know,

can you adjust the FOV on the PC version. My purchase literally hinges on this one factor. Seriously. MW2 is unbearable on PC because of it.
I think so. the console is in, so the config should be back too.

Normal vs hard, huge difference in cod series, moh was pretty easy even on hard, wondering about this.
In past COD games imo there has been a significant difficulty increase from normal and the hardest. Black Ops has 4 difficulties I believe, so if you're going for the last one, prepare for some heartache. Normal is basically not having too much trouble at all, just sifting nicely through the experience.

It exists!! I just hope the game is on par w/ 360 ... getting PS3 version due to friends list ....
MW2 was nearly 100% identical on both platforms (I played both a decent amount) so I'm not worried about this one at all.

Absolutely not a single reason to worry about versions, they're all the same.

Yeah; my only concern is whether campaign co-op missions are in or not.

If they are, then 360 and pc version for me.

If they're not, just pc version.

Only difference between the 360 and PS3 version is that you can't log in 2 PSN accounts and level up via splitscreen.

Anyone know what this Amazon "Laser Cell" gift is?

I pre-ordered this game a while ago on the website, and I just noticed today that they seem to have subtracted $5 from my total price (now $55) and it says I also get a special "Laser Cell" gift for pre-ordering and this deal is no longer available. Pretty cool but I don't know what it is.

Google image search just finds this picture a million times:

That's not a laser cell, just an Uzi type gun with a silencer.

Will there be any difference to the 3D supported on the PS3 as opposed to the 360? Apparently 3D is supported across all platforms, but I wasn't aware that 3D was playable on 360? So is it the same thing?

Like an animation cel from a cartoon, I expect this to be some kind of glossy picture you get with the game, of that guy.

Edit: here's a better explanation
[QUOTE]Laser Cels are a lithograph technology where the image is actually printed on industrial grade Mylar. Unlike traditional animation cels and paper; Mylar will not fade, chip, crack or deteriorate. Additionally, this synthetic is immune to heat, light and moisture.[/QUOTE]

There's a different method of doing 3D that works on both the 360 and PS3. It's doesn't have as much depth but there's very little performance compromise. I think Crysis 2 is doing it the same way.

Ahhh that would make sense.

Interesting. Apparently it comes with a certificate of authenticity too. :D

Nice little freebie to get.

Was planning on skipping this one, but Treyarch has been steadily improving... might dive in after all.

I'm usually on the Triple for COD, but this time I'm going to go with the X360 version for two reasons.

1. Timed-exclusive DLC bullshit.
2. More of my "real life" friends are there.

:/
 
I've played COD4 on 360, WaW on 360 a tiny bit, PS3 a lot, and PC a tiny bit, MW2 on PS3 a tiny bit (returned it after a week).

PS3 for me, bout time I stop whoring around. Don't mind waiting for maps, and that's even if I end up buying them. Haven't bought any DLC for anything all generation.

I'm seriously not trolling here, but will the pc version have dedicated servers (considering it's Treyarch doing it)?

See I've read that much, but I've also read Treyarch employees completely dodge FOV questions. I've only found 2 Q&As that mention it and it get's dodged. :( It should still be in the engine. COD4 was easy to change. Gonna check WaW I guess.

If anyone can confirm custom FOV on the PC version, please let us know. If it's not there I swear I'm starting a Hubris and Bullshit thread that will dwarf the MW2 one. You read me Treyarch?

How do you change the FOV in CoD4?
