What that game has to do with actual modern warfare I dont know ::), but it looked like one cool action movie!

I never bought CoD4, because its still $40 (and just recently went down to that price) but I might get this one, as it looks like it has a pretty interesting story.

It's NOT a WWII game like every CoD installment up to that point. It's in modern times using current weaponry. :)  It's well worth the $40 buck. The story line and singleplayer game play is excellent as is the online. CoD 6 is a continuation of that story.

I just pray this is a pc game ported to console and not the other way around. 99.999% of console ports suck a$$.

you can safely round that to 100%

This is pretty much an xbox game ported to ps3\pc i think.


The game might be built with consoles in mind but it's ported from the pc to the consoles not the other way around, all the tools are made for the pc and there are special additional tools to then make parts for (such as the additional menu's) for the consoles. 

It may be made on a computer (naturally) but that doesn't mean that they made it with PC specs in mind.  Doing so means that the developers have to practicaly make two different versions to support the different capabilities.  That is why counsel "ports" often suck.  They where made with only consul in mind, with the PC version simply being a clone with slightly different code.  Actually it wouldn't really be a port if it just had two different versions in the first place.  Its two different versions.

Ok, I just read the article in "Gameinformer" and it shows that every platform is covered and I think that Death Grin nailed it. It's seems that each platform has it's own development. I've not played any of the console versions of CoD4, only the PC version. From everything that I've experianced, CoD4 is a PC game on the PC. It doesn't feel like a port at all. InfinityWard is a company about quality and detail; I don't think they would be satisfied with a "port". I'll do some more looking around and see if there's any info on this topic out there.
