Who didn't hum along when playing Darth Vader in the tutorial mission of The Force Unleashed? I haven't played this game myself, but i spent a few hours watching my friends playing.

Another day and another game of Modern Warfare 2. I have joined a game, just to get immediately kicked out, because I am "unable to connect to host". What? What?! I don't care, I joined a random server… So I enter the game again, and wait another 59 seconds. And I get kicked out again, this time because it wasn't able to make me host. The third time's the charm, I say, and press the "Join a random Team Deathmatch" button again. 59 more seconds to wait… At 3 seconds to game start, IWNet kicks the five top people, then merges us with another server, and I have to wait another 59 seconds. I am getting a bit annoyed by now, so I walk away to make myself some tea. When I return, the map is finally loading. Yay! Read more »

Single player

The least we expect from any sequel is that it is equally great as its predecessor. In that regard, Modern Warfare 2 fails by a few points. With an equally well-done story and marginally better graphics than CoD4: Modern Warfare, MW2 have taken a marginally step backwards in game play. The big word is action! Too much action! Almost every level is big levels where enemies constantly rush at you from all sides, while your teammates are virtually useless at hitting a barn door from two feet. The result is that you are constantly running around with a red screen (your screen turn bloody red when you are close to death) hoping to find a place to hide from the bullets, only to die in melee with an enemy as the four teammates surrounding you is unable to shoot him down. Seriously, I've seen four teammates shooting in the general direction of an enemy charging over an open field and not hitting him a single time. Random spraying should have higher probability of hitting!

A related pet peeve of mine is the removal of leaning. Without this I find the game a lot more difficult, as instead of revealing only about 10% of my body around the corner, I have to make 50% of my body a living target. And increasing the chance of the enemy spotting me before I spot them by 100%...

Multiplayer

If you enjoyed the last game's multiplayer, then you will probably enjoy this one as well. New levels, more perks and customizable stuff, and some useless graphical name-tag stuff. So far I love this part of the game, except all the 10 seconds game-freezes every time the game changes host. Read more »

I found this solution on a forum, but somewhy this forum was not accessible the second time i tried to read it, as it insisted that i registered. It was still avaible trough google cache, but to make sure information is free, i will publish the solution here as well.

So you probably have wanted to play custom maps in Call of Duty 4 without having to run a mod (who usually doesnt have the possibility to make and save classes). A CoD4 custom map-package usually contains three files: a *.iwd file and two *.ff files. Read more »
