The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Call of Duty 4 TV

Hey guys, since there is so much CoD4 love here I just thought I might post about GTV's newest Internet TV Channel: Call of Duty 4. It's got glitches, machinima, montages, and all kinds of videos. Enjoy!

GTV- Now with more CoD4

I just put up a new game category in our videos- Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare. If any of you have a good CoD4 vid, you know who to pm ;) or, you could use our new handy Uploader- http://www.gamingtv.us/forum/uploader.php Our first one on GTV is a music video of sorts from Cryo 7, "The Cruelty of Men."

Call of Duty 4 Discussion (Spoilers)

I completed the campaign this weekend and found it to be simply incredible. Many of the things I discuss here may be spoilers, so read at your own risk.

Campaign was wonderfully done. The reviewer that complained of its brevity (6 hours) didn't play on veteran. Veteran forced me to execute some checkpoints as perfectly as I am capable. I'd say the full campaign took me somewhere around 16-18 hours.

Realism is superb. Christina even commented that the Arab villages in the early missions look very similar to my pictures from Iraq. Down to the graffiti and advertisements, Infinity Ward did a great job with this. Character models are also very well done. The Marines are outfitted with gear that looks very very similar to how we were outfitted for operations in Iraq. Their placement of first aid kits is even true to life (different characters have it in different places, but either the lower back or strong side low is preferred by most people). However, as cool as it would be to have the voice of Lt Vasquez, most of us don't sound like Jesse Ventura from Predator. Lt Vasquez also sets up explosives, IIRC, which is not something an officer would be doing.

Does anybody else think the character of Zhakarev's son is modeled after the rogue nationalist/sniper in an Adidas jacket from the movie Behind Enemy Lines?

I also liked playing as Soap from the British SAS. Capt Price is pretty cool. I liked the flashback to Chernobyl, which was probably the most difficult level of the game for me.

I remember raving about the realism of weapon models for COD2, and I'm doing it again for COD4. There's not much to say except they look, act, and shoot as much like the real thing as I can imagine a video game simulating.
