Where have you been all my life?
Yesterday, finally, after much lament, I received my Beta token for COD4. I am having a blast. This game feels much closer to the battle sim I've always wanted Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six to be. Here are some bullets on my favorite features.
1. COD2 realistic sight picture. I love it. To be honest, it's still much easier than the real thing because they've made the front sights about twice as skinny as normal. However, it feels incredibly natural compared to a reticle on the screen.
2. That helicopter that has crashed on the map where you play Marine recon is an incredibly realistic model of a CH-46. It's marked as HMM-161, which is a real frog (what we call the CH-46, look at the landing gear) squadron out of Miramar between Camp Pendleton and San Diego. HMM stands for "helicopter, Marine, medium" because the CH-46 is our medium lift assault support helo.
3. Reloading belt fed weapons is incredibly realistic! I pressed X to reload my M249 and my character released the top-cover, allowing it to swing upward and I thought "What the hell? This looks real." Unfortunately, it takes a few seconds, just like real life. Actually, I think I might be able to reload a SAW faster in real life than in COD4, especially if poop was hitting the prop.
4. Always-on voice comms. Gotta love it.
5. The customizable features are endless. I can't wait to get more XP so I can make more and better custom slots.
6. Incapacitating someone with your rifle and thinking you've killed them makes for a WTF moment when they pull out their pistol and begin to pelt you instead of dying.
7. God bless the M203 grenade launcher.
8. This weekend I hope to put some more time in and get a better feel for using UAVs and air strikes. As JDogg said, Halo 3 had better bring it, because I'll happily play COD4 rather than run around with dual SMGs and noob it up.
