Call of Duty 4 or Crysis?

In general, which do you think will be more popular?

Crysis, with its high tech graphics, which most casual gamers cannot play at a decent fps?

-or-

Call of Duty 4, with the tried and true run & gun formula, which has some decent graphics at a higher (than Crysis) framerate?

 

hmm. that's a tough one. i'm saying crysis, just because it is currently receiving such a major hype everywhere. only time will show. but i do think, however, that cod4 will be a better game.

 

Argh... this is hard. Crysis, open style gameplay. COD4, best military FPS ever. OH DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE!!

 

I'll try COD4 First then Crysis (After Nvidia or ATI release 8800M/HD2900 Mobile card)

 

Crysis WILL be the most popular for time to come..

Mainly because it's a system killer, it WILL be used to benchmark new graphics hardware.. That's obvious!

COD 4 will be like the same as the other COD games.. They're great,,, but not really talked about after you beat them, even if the online is fun, there wont be much to talk about..

 

I say CoD4. I like the style of gameplay.

 

if you've played any other COD before, you will notice lots of similarities between all of them.

 

COD4 is great. Multiplayer and leveling up with all the accessories and mods and essentially creating your own class and customizing your class is awesome. Can''t wait to ge tthe game on monday. Crysis and COD4 regardless of their graphics were different games and crysis didn't do it for me.

 

Depends on whether the general public favours eyecandy over gameplay. Some of the best-selling games of all time would look like a joke compared to the hype incarnation that is Crysis.

 

The Crysis demo was far more enjoyable than the COD 4 one.. in fact while I'm definitely going to buy COD4 and love it... the demo got extremely boring on the second time around, and I've yet to play it again...

On the other hand, I've been playing the Crysis demo every day, always doing something different and fun. IMO the game feels like the best game I've ever played. I've waited for a game where you can punch the wall of a building, and the piece of the wall falls back and kills the guy on the other side

Set the graphics to max, in DX10, get a C4 pack.. place it next to a building.. run, and detonate... there's nothing more satisfying than that..

 

I hate to say it, but Call of Duty 4 surprised me. I was thinking "ho hum" another average shooter. This thing has a lot of potential. Just hope it lives up to that potential.

I think for the immediate result, Call of Duty 4 will draw more sales, and the fact that there are console versions as well doesn't hurt. I am impressed when they make a PC version of a console port that doesn't suck ass, and is optimized.

But for the long haul, I agree with others that Crysis will win. It has a lot of technology that can't be run effectively on current gen consoles, and will be a way to "show off" the PC's capabilities, especially a year or two from now.

 

I voted for CoD for reasons already stated (system requirements, console, more accessible)

I have nothing bad to say about the gameplay of Crysis. Everyone hypes the graphics but just playing it is a blast. I've played that demo more than any demo since either Doom Shareware or Duke Nukem 3D Episode 1. It's just a blast of a world to run around and get engaged in.

CoD4 demo was quick, fun, another successful endeavor in an oversaturated market. Bleh.

 

I vote for CoD. Crysis is too demanding on the hardware to swoop over the masses and make it enjoyable as a multiplayer dominant game.

 

Your point is like comparing crysis to anything else..

Crysis or centipede.. meh, guess centipede wins since it would run 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999x better and thus more enjoyable

 

Normally, I'd say Crysis. The game is great, gameplay is cool with usable vehicles and stuff. But the system requirements are insane and in medium-low settings, which most people have to use, it doesn't look that great anymore.
CoD4 also has very good graphics and is a very intense FPS, more intense than Crysis, I'd say. Gameplay is similar to the successful predecessors. Finally, I'd vote for CoD4!

 

Crysis will be more popular in the PC gaming community... but I'll be giving my time to CoD4. I love games I can run at my native resolution... and the CoD4 demo, while it didn't introduce anything new, was more fun than Crysis if you ask me.

 

Crysis is published by EA. EA will destroy any potential that Crysis has.

COD4 has done exactly what needs to be fun to make the exact same game awesome again. Moved from WWII to present day.

To use another EA game as an example: BF1942 Desert Combat was so popular that they hired the mod developers to make BF2. Not much else changed.

Crysis, I think, has made the mistake of going Sci-Fi. Take again the battlefield series: Now, they make BF2142 under the premise that if moving to the present day was awesome, moving into the future will be amazing! BF2142 both turns out to be nothing new AND relatively unenjoyable to play. The gratuitous tech gadgetry for me (and, apparently for a lot of others), just ends up detracting from the fun and immersion of the game.

I know anecdotes aren't evidence, so I guess only time will tell if I'm right.

 

Can't support EA games ... so CoD4 gets my vote, also I liked the latters demo better anyways.

 

Yep. Working with EA is like opening a great big can of worms, and sooner or later, Crytek will pay the price.

 

Oh come on! BF2142 was a fantastic game. The ONLY reason people didn't like it, is because people were just pissed that they made it futuristic, so origional BF and BF2 fans hated it.. BF2142 is a great game, with a great community that ALWAYS has severs with tons of people.

 

I would definitely go with COD 4. It's to my taste in FPS anyways. Teamwork is essential; and it's nice to have some comrades by your side. Crysis seems to be similar to the medal of honor series of just being by yourself most of the time; except, there will be superb graphics, tactics, and other goodies.

 

Crysis hands down. CoD4 plays exactly like CoD2 with a new skin - nothing wrong with that of course (CoD2 was great, and I'm sure CoD4 will be just as good), but I'd rather play something new.

Crysis on the other hand, besides being absolutely beautiful, is ridiculous amounts of sheer fun. I haven't had this much fun with physics since I first used the Gravity Gun in HL2 - shooting down trees to make them crush vehicles and people, shooting out the tires on a moving truck to make it flip out, ramming through a shack as it collapses around you leaving chaos in your wake, or punching out the building supports to make the roof fall on a group of soldiers... I've never had so much fun just playing a game - it's like a virtual playground. I've played the Crysis demo for several hours already (granted, a lot of that was graphics/performance tweaking), and that's just one level!

Heh, I agree with all of your posts in this thread. BF2142 was awesome and (I think) much more fun than BF2 was. (although both are buggy as hell). Some subtle differences in how you spawn and get to the battlefield make all the difference (It's easier to get straight into the action in 2142: there are always plenty of vehicles at the spawn to get you and your teammates right into the fray).

 

CoD4 for me too. I was a Crysis person since the trailers came out, but the optimization on CoD4 (Medium-High on friends 7600 laptop @ 720p res) and the massive modern war feel with NPC all over the place sold the game. I like the war feel with waves of enemy coming towards you compared to enemies once and a while.

 

^ Yeah with COD4 I just feel like the immersion level is just there. With the sound up, the chaos seems realistic .

I know a marine buddy of mine is definitely going to buy this game and he likes the overal feel of the m4 because its a pretty accurate reflection.

 

Our kind of game.

 

Yes! I love to play war games .It's realistic than Sci-Fi games

 

^ Yeah and modern warfare kind of hits home with whats going with troops today especially since I know a good amount of people fighting overseas. It was great they used alot of research from marines and military advisers to make the game as accurate as possible.

 

are we talking about all systems or just pc? because if its all systems then cod4 will win hands down because it is highly anticipated over all the consoles and pc, whereas crysis is just pc and you need high specs to make it look as nice as it can.

 

well, i would say that since this is a laptop forum, that the poll relates to which will be more popular for laptop owners.

 

does anybody know if CoD 4 is supposed to take advantage of multi-core processors or if it will be better optimized in the final retail version?

i ask this because in the Crysis, demo it was apparently only single-threaded and did not support SLI, which is a bummer.

 

Can u spawn to a teammate in COD4 or crysis? If not what other game can u? Was so sad that u could not in quakewars.

I voted CoD 4 because while Crysis wouldn't above run above 4 FPS on Low on my laptop, CoD 4 ran very well on either Medium or High, can't remember which. It certainly looked better, too - 3-4 FPS doesn't look very good no matter how complex the graphics are! And while Crysis is hyped, it is simply way too demanding. If only people with 8700M GT or 7950GTX cards can run it, they've got a very small market. CoD 4 can run on a lot more machines, so it has my vote.

Over time Crysis will be able to run on more machines, but a game always has the most sales potential when it first comes out. And CoD 4 will be able to run on more machines in a couple of years, too.

 

im saying cod4 because crysis really lacks in the multiplayer area in my opinion. i just dont understand why its only domination and the sequence of events u need to go thru gets stale. also the spawn camping is really annoying when ur just buying your weapons ... while in cod4 is almost impossible to spawn camp. crysis is just a good single player game in my opinion while cod4 excels in both sp + mp...

 

.... But can u spawn to another in either game?

 

I'd say it does not do honor to CoD4 calling it's gfx "decent".
Though, i haven't tried Crysis at max settings, i prefer CoD's graphics (and the whole game actually) over Crysis.

 

no you cant...

 

COD4 is excellent, highly recommended over Crysis.
