In what? Multiplayer. Of course that is. But try to snipe in COD4 SP when you should be using a shotgun and it's going to end badly.
Not played Crysis but are you trying to tell us that there's no point in the whole game where you're fighting indoors or in close confines? Or are you telling us that you can be fighting in small rooms and corridors and wander around with a sniper rifle and it'll do just as well as a shotgun?

Actually, don't answer that. You're only going to do your case more harm than good either way. The fact you sound like a moron isn't helping.

N64 Magazine giving V Rally 90% and then mysteriously acquiring a car to give away shocked me at the time because that was about the only magazine I trusted.

you can sneak around in the darkness using your nightvision or go in all guns blazing or snipe the enemy from a distance, none of what you've said sounds particularly inspiring.

err, wrong, there plenty of SP missions where you can choose the way you go about things the way you want to, you can snipe them from afar, take them out with a silenced M16, go in with a shotgun, call in air strikes or helicopter gunships, use your claymores/grenades/C4

I guess people like you would rather have their hand held and forced into doing exactly what the devs wanted you to do. I wonder of lycangav ignored that alot of the levels in COD4 have constantly respawning enemies whilst crysis is actually realistic with troops moving from other areas to re-inforce an area under attack.

I also am giving a big lols to that lycangav is still playing Quake Wars, an utterly terrible, massively overhyped and under developed game which I was luckily able to get back half the price on when I sold it last week.
you must be the kind of gamer who reads a few decent reviews and doesnt form his own opinion, theres a reason why COD4 is so popular, because it is an incredible game, Crysis, doesnt sound inspiring, or from the screenshots, look fun.

I think everyone is forgeting that we are entitled to our own opinion.....no-one is really right or wrong

In my own humble opinion, Crysis' graphics are amazing on a good rig, but it terms of meaningful gameplay it doesn't really do anything for me that counterstrike : source doesn't do.

I can't say I have played COD4 but from what I have seen of video's etc. it looks like they have made a very very good realistic game.

Davidbowie - about his "holding of hands to form an opinion" I think the fact he has been given something as perhaps a "sweetener" and still forming an average opinion means his is making his own mind up?

Trying to snipe in COD4 when you should be using a shotgun is going to end badly? of course it is......it's called realism?

Haha pretty much every "exclusive" feature davidbowie touted up you could do in Deus Ex and System Shock 2, which are both getting on for a decade old

Found this aswell:

but it should be pointed out that Gamespot has changed scores in the past. Last year Gamespot reviewed Company of Heroes and gave it an 8.9, but a few days later changed their score to a 9.0 and gave the game an "Editors' Choice" award (the official word is that they changed the score because of an SLI issue that was fixed, but that seems a bit too convenient).

Rumours aswell that he knew he was going even before the review, so purposly gave it a really negative review.
