    Hey guys/gals:

    I've been playing CoD5 Beta MP, and I'm starting to like it.

    Can anyone tell me what the differences are b/t the CoD5 multiplayer and CoD4?

    Also, anyone know of a good/legit place to get a used copy of CoD4 that I could use to play Multiplayer online?

    Thanks

    CoD4 is faster gameplay. Uses more moddern weapons. And the gravity is less...so you usually run more, jump higher/further, and things just happen more smoothly than CoD5. But the maps are also smaller, and feel smaller due to this speed.

    Also, CoD4 has a huge base of players, so its easier to find a server/community that you enjoy, and people you'll enjoy playing with.

    ...is it still more realistic than say CS:S?

    e.g. You can't jump around a corner, zoom mid-air, land, crouch, shoot a guys head off with your AWP, switch to your pistol and be blasting another guy all w/in 2 seconds.

    What makes you say this?

    Surely not all game manufacturers (ehem!...STEAM) have border-line illegal user-agreements that disallow re-selling what you've legitimately purchased and paid for?

    well, most used pc games have had there cd keys used...so, then you would just be buying a game that you can't play.

    But i have cod4 for xbox360, and it's pretty good, and it is realistic.

    That deplorably rigid user-agreement clause, espoused with Valve's policy of closing user STEAM accounts on the heels of a user filing a charge-back claim, is why I refuse to purchase any titles released by that company.
