Talk:Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Nintendo DS)

message: What sources do we have to confirm that this a brand new game and not a port of Call of Duty 4 for the DS? JesseMeza 02:18, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: For the love of God, man. First off, you aren't gonna be able to effectively port all the way down from latest-generation console to DS, and second... "For starters, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare isn't some watered down DS port, and it sure as heck isn't a slap-together pocket effort aimed to trick users into picking up a cross-platform turd; it's the real deal. Running a parallel story to the console game COD DS has everything you'd expect from a full-fledged Call of Duty experience, just shrunk down to pocket size." http://ds.ign.com/articles/812/812216p1.html .

thread_title:  It's own game? 

message: I don't care if it was built from the ground up. Its the same game, same series, same figgin thing. It may have differences from the other system, but who cares? But fine. I obviously don't have any say in this

:Yeah, you don't speak for everyone. Another good example is articles about movie remakes. For example, the 1957 and 2007 versions of 3:10 to Yuma have seperate articles, even though they are the same story told in the same media. Some guy 05:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please merge the two articles together.  There is not enough reason to have two seperate articles.  I understand they're different games to play, but not different enough to warrant seperate articles.  The KZA 02:48, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You don't know that. Neither of them has even been released yet. Also, see Super Mario 64 DS. Some guy 20:07, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with this guy. And whoever said "You don't speak for everyone", get a life. There are millions of games out there that have huge differences on one system than it does on another system, but they only have one page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.61.217.175 (talk) 19:06, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You are incredibly immature. There are not "millions" of ports with "huge" differences between systems, and you can look at games such as Super Mario 64 DS, which is much more of a port than CoD4. Some guy 20:07, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: RfC: Merge

message: As no one has debated the issue for some time, and it is obvious no new arguments need be presented, it appears the issue is over. The merge clearly cannot be fully justified, and would be more trouble than it is worth; also, of those who have participated in the main debate, only one user has called for the merge. Unless some new SIGNIFICANT argument can be presented in favor of a merge, and is supported by more than one user alone, then this article is staying right where it is and debate is over.

message: The "Plot" section of this article is basically a long explanation that this game's story differs slightly from the console versions. What should be there is... well, the plot. Hell, maybe I'll write it, but does anyone agree? 69.121.179.87 (talk) 01:45, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The current plot section is hardly "long". I think it is effective in its current form - it gives a good overview of the game's story without unnecessary detail. We do not need a ridiculously detailed summary of every event that occurs as seen in some other game articles. If you want to add detail, go ahead, but please do not add go into excessive detail and describe what happens in every mission. Nobody wants to read that... either they're planning to play the game, they've already played the game, or they don't care. Some guy (talk) 03:14, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The Plot is a bit on the slim side. It shouldn't talk about every event that happens in each mission, but a general description of plot developments throughout the game's progression would be appropriate. As it is, it's more of a game overview than a plot overview. --Scottie_theNerd 03:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I didnt want to add exessive detail about each mission. I'm saying, just reduce the current "Plot" to one shorter sentence and give a very general overview of the game's locations and ending. 69.121.179.87 (talk) 21:52, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  That is not a plot 

message: So far, the U.S. marine(s) in this game have been anonymous, to the point where we're not even sure if it's the same guy in each mission. However, after replaying Mission 1- First to fight, I could have sworn that Sgt Newman, who teaches you to call in air strikes, refers to the player character as "Parker." I'll double check, but if he really does have an identity, I feel it may be the same marine in each mission(EDIT: Yup, the marine is refered to as Parker multiple times. Ladies and gentleman, we have an ID). I found some evidence for this with the British S.A.S trooper, as well. In the Mission 9- AMF, your partner refers to you as a "Demolitions expert." During other S.A.S missions, you disarm tons of explosives (alot more than "Parker" does), so we could safely assume that throughout the game, you play only as "Parker" the U.S. Marine, the unamed S.A.S. demolitions expert, and the unamed gunner in Mission 7- Spectre. Also-
- Newman also refers to the junked tank you perfrom your first practice airstrike on as a "T-72." All other tanks in the game look identical. Follow me?
- This game features some of the same big names as the console versions- Al Fulani, the assasinated president, Al Asad, the executioner and terrorist, and Irman Iforgothislastname, Russian ulranationalist. And there's Petrovich, the Bagman, but I forgot if he's in the console verions.
- The game has two confirmed and distinct locations- generic Persian Gulf country, to avoid War on Terror complications and confusions, and Russia (likely northern, 'cause there's alot of snow).
- The few real-world guns I could identify- M16, AK-47. Others were: Uzi-tye gun, bigger Uzi-type gun, S.A.S gun which looks just like a Destuche from goldeneye, and I'm sure is based off of a real world gun I don't know of, seemingly generic shotgun (also looks Goldeneyeish... but most guns do), generic RPG, pistol that could be a Desert Eagle (I'll check), and the sniper rifle, which is referred to as (what I heard) a "Trigonough/Trigonof".
 
- I'm rewriting the plot. So there.
If anybody finds room for this information, add it (Me included). I'll interpret silence as "Yea, go ahead!"

message: I think the second paragraph is biased, needs citation, and it feels more like fan criticisms than ones from a notable publisher.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by DeathKila (talk • contribs) 00:59, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

message: This game doesn't need it's own article. Call of Duty: World at War has 3 different versions of the game, but they're all on the same page. Legend6 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 00:31, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This is an established article with twenty sources. It's not hurting anything by existing as its own article, and it helps cut down on page length for the main version of the game. Some guy (talk) 03:00, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Someone asked about weapons so here goes, There is a M16A4, AK47, Mac11, Uzi, MP5, M2 Browning 50. cal, M68 Minigun,  and M9A1 Pistol.  The Sniper rifle is a bolt action rifle with a 7 round magazine called a Dragonov, but in real life a Dragonov is semi-automatic with a detachable magazine.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.119.213.215 (talk) 04:22, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There is also an American bolt-action sniper rifle in one mission that you use for about five minutes - I don't remember which one it is. Probably the M24. Some guy (talk) 00:36, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
