BASH

BASH marks this seminal event in the history of Call of Duty games with a special extended version of the show. Bringing you the inside scoop into the game is Jock Yitch, the host of BASH and two legends in the Call of Duty Community and both BASHandSlash.com CoD Hall of Famers:

Modern Warfare marks a break with past CoD tradition in that for the first time, the game is not set in World War II but takes place in the not-so-distant future. Gone is the tactical gameplay of CoD2, say hello to the run’n gun fragfest of Modern Warfare. In our roundtable we first discuss the Hollywood-style thriller that is the Singleplayer game:

- Off the bat we discuss the edge-of-your seat plot of Modern Warfare.

- We review the gloomy and dark mood that permeates the game and how IW was able to translate it to your screen.

- It’s all about immersion in CoD4 and we dance all around this topic.

- We bring up the fact that there are plenty of disturbing themes in the game and we judge whether the game deserved its “M” Mature rating.

We cannot discuss CoD4 for PC without discussing Multiplayer.

- What are *the* weapons to carry and which ones should be left alone.

- What perks go with what weapons? What weapons go with what maps?

Thought most of our sentiments regarding CoD4 are very positive, there are some negatives as well. Some of these may resonate with your experience:

- The PC gameplay seems out of balance. The introduction of new CoD elements such as the Air Strike and Chopper Strikes seem too prevalent in the PC game.

- Listen as we explain why gameplay on XBox may actually be better than it is on PC.

- What functions are currently broken in CoD4?

- Did IW deliver the goods to the PC community or did they miss the mark? And, will IW/Activision continue to support us?

Jock also discusses tweaks you can do to your game to make it playable on your ancient PC. You can read about these tweaks here on BASHandSlash.com.
