Crysis or Call of Duty 4 ? - Crysis (2007) Discussion

[–] Miazole 17 years ago

What is this post about. If you are talking about opinions on which game you think is superior, I say Crysis by far. Crysis has all the realism, except the whole story, Crysis has better sound and graphics (CoD4 sounds like a joke w/ 3rd person gunshots), Crysis has a better story, and CoD4 is seriously flawed with horrible hit detection, bullet count, unrealism, etc. In CoD4 the enemies never miss on hard or veteran. It is completely unrealistic, it takes so many rounds to kill both in SP and MP. Most hits don't detect, that's why when you empty 20 rounds in someone and they only got hit three times. CoD4 is borderline bad, just because of these problems. It's retarded how the penetration w/ bullets is unrealistic. My Desert Eagle can't shoot through wood while any other gun penetrates concrete, buildings, tanks, etc. None of my guns penetrate anything, but with Deep Impact I might be able to shoot through air and wood. Crysis is way more realistic in these terms. It looks and feels like real life, the sounds are just like real life, the enemies are smart unlike CoD4 and they actually miss rounds. Online is better w/ CoD4, speaking only of the system since it has more game modes, but Crysis is still better since it isn't retarded, except for shotgun bullet count online. CoD4 takes 4 hours to beat SP which is pathetic. Crysis takes 10-12 hours. CoD4 sucks compared to Crysis. Infinity Ward needs better programmers and they need to work on single player. The length should be tripled.

lol "MY OPINION > YOURS, YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOUR OPINION IS FALSE"

people just amaze me with their ignorance....

Crysis while has pretty good single player and decent multiplayer, has spectacular graphics and a very kick ass editor (one of the best imo, expect some very kick ass mods in the next few years), as well i love the sandbox design how you can go out and do your own thing (for the most part) while cod4 is extremely linear. Also lets not forget the nano-suit :), though i will add that the weapons in crysis do get tiring after a while.

CoD4 however does have very good multi-player, very good single player, ive never really been a big fan of its modding capabilities, as well the multi-player has gotten stale after reaching level 55 in cod4, and i find my self not even playing it anymore and really playing tf2, i will note though that it has a leveling system in multi-player where you earn your guns to kill people with (though some servers will allow everyone to have max level in their server regardless of your "real" level) kind of like wolfenstein ET if you ever played, which does increase the longevity of the game.

So what is my answer? get TF2 lol.

Seriously though if you have A rig that can handle it and want the best looking damn game you have ever laid your *beep* eyes on, get crysis. If you want a good game with very good multi-player go for cod4.

As well i thought id mention cod4 single-player for me was about 4 hours long, crysis was about 6-7 i believe.

I will say though if you get CoD4 id advise you to get it for ps3 or xbox360, to me it just seems somewhat more fun then PC, though pc obviously has better controls, i just found that i had much more fun playing it on ps3 then pc.

edit: just noticed the date, >.>

Terminator, I'm just going to go out on a limb and say you're a dumbass. First off, the Crysis story line is bad, as is the voice acting. Now, don't get me wrong, I like the game, but I can't help but laugh when I'm playing it. ALso, if you're spending 10-12 hours on the Crysis SP, you need to stop playing video games. I easily beat Crysis in 5 hours on Delta. No *beep* The game is too easy. As for COD4 MP, I've never had to empty 20 rounds into one person, you must suck really bad. A few burst into someone and they're done. Especially Hardcore. 2-3 shots and you can easily finish them off.

Anyways, if I were to choose between the two, I'd definitely go with Call of Duty 4. Again, don't misunderstand me. I like Crysis, but COD4 has a better replay value.

hahahah yeah! i´m with you Terminator! but i´m more with the TRUTH i mean! the PHYSICs of Crysis is infinitely better (D´OH! the walls what? dummie 4 EVA man! it´s a part maked with concience for some mission of COD 4, like the coriolis effect!hahah but is not in all the game like in Crysis, for example, how many objects u could catch? LOL), the story is original more or less, the graphics in general although is not important in a game is infinitely better too, play with a BIG BIG resolution and you´ll shut up yourself (and i forget things, maybe it´s coz i don´t want to write more!hahaha). But what´s up here? COD 4 only is more "realistic" in the objectives of the missions (coz Crysis invented a supposed 2020 but...) it´s normal! like "Medal Of Honor" dudes, sometimes some missions are + immersive then to you it seems more "realism"! but always the same? talking about the World war II? it´s too repetitive! i like more always something "fresh"!
COD 5 World war II again i read so... i don´t know...
you can to say mass but although i luv COD 4 this is the TRUTH dudes! without commentaries subjectives.
In the one that is better COD 4 is in the multiplayer... and only i could understand some comments anti-Crysis for this reason: Crytek already knew that not everybody gonna have 1 8800 GT in November of 2007 and was a bit MF, but well...
P.S=COD 4=9.3
Crysis=9.9

COD 4 has it for the multiplayer (but frankly it feels like a console game, I've played it on the 360 and it's more fun)

Crysis, however, is a much better game. The idea that bullet penetration makes COD more realistic is frankly ridiculous when you compare this one smal feature to the incredible physics engine employed by Crysis, a physics engine which enables you to destroy practically anything you can find. Blow up buildings, shoot the tires out on vehicles, or shoot the petrol tanks for a nice big explosion. Mow down trees to carve a path through the jungle, smash through walls in armoured trucks. It is literally incredible. And I'm only playing with graphics and physics set to medium, if you can run it at high or very high then I can only imagine how amazing it would be.

If you would rather be shoved from one objective to the next through a single path with no option for compromise then sure, go with COD for some old school linear shooter action. But if you want to accomplish the missions however you feel like it, want to freedom to take out an enemy base by stealth, by force, or just avoiding it alltogether, then get Crysis.

And I'm going to stop now before I write an entire review!

Death Roll!

and the fan of the M50 where is?HAHAHAH
in serious you have no idea dude! have you seen some videos about the physics?
but in a Bullet Penetration there is not physics (do you know what is this or only you are a FANATIC of COD 4)?HAHAHAH
and sure that it´s not in Crysis? maybe not always and not so exagerated sometimes coz is normal is technically different, COD 4 has more inside-scenaries! your are in a BIG scenarie dude! plempty of objects! and i say 1 thing! you´ve seen in the mission where theres is 1 helicopter in the night (Act 1) for example? try to shoot the RED SOFA and after put your eyes back of this! if you seen something say me! LOOOOL ;)
bullet damage?hahhahah but dude! if in Crysis there are aliens is logic that sometimes you need more time.
bullet area effect? but if it seems how if you were in Star Wars sometimes! LOOOOOOL
enemy reactions? yeah! overall when she go down of the helicopters!HAHAHAH
Weapons?but what do you want man? another "Perfect Dark"?
it´s a supposed year 2020 only, not the year 2023, so... LOOOL
Plot? yeah! in COD 4 is + COMPLOT!hahah but what´s up man? do you not see that it´s different the story? in Crysis, not only you can to make the primaries objectives you can to do secondaries?
Vehicles?HAHAHA say me 1 thing: How many vehicles can u drive by yourself?
(In COD 4 have you seen when they go in the car at the final part of the Prologue? the face of the driver in the rear-view mirror?HAHAHAH sincronized true?HAHAHAH i know that i´m a MF! LOL it´s not a BUG like in Crysis sometimes it´s 1 COOKIE!!!HAHAHAH :P)

CoD 4 is the easiest game ever. That probably took me about 3.5 hours max. I don't know how long it took me to beat Crysis, but it was way longer. 10-12 hours is just what Crytek says, I know it isn't that long. The idiots calling me a dumbass are the dumbasses. Everything I said was true, enemies do miss in real life. You can't say I have a horrible shot because you never played me in CoD4, I was able to headshot people sprinting across a map like Crossfire, but of course the headshot either didn't kill them or didn't detect. Of course I can't do this anymore, since I don't play it anymore. I was speaking of veteran mode when I say the enemies don't miss, normal mode is more realistic. Of course Veteran mode is just a challenge and a good way to get your gamerscore up. Crysis has more realistic graphics and physics. CoD4's bullet penetration is highly unrealistic. Guns either penetrate too much or too little. Why can't the Desert Eagle .50AE penetrate concrete? My Desert Eagle can't penetrate wood, and I've gotten shot through concrete with 9mm weapons, even a Ninety-Two. I've gotten shot through the tank on the Bog. Both have an unrealistic storyline but CoD4 is still more realistic with the story. Russia doesn't have anywhere near 20,000 nukes. I don't know what you mean by enemy reactions, but CoD4's AI is pathetic unlike Crysis. You can't say CoD4 has more realistic bullet damage. On normal mode you take so many bullets before you die, and using a silenced M4A1 on an enemy makes it take so many rounds to kill them, more than ten. In Crysis they have body armor. The AK used in Crysis was an AK-74N, and the North Koreans use it, you pick it up. I'd be a dumbass if I thought Crysis was more realistic. It isn't, but it doesn't try to be while CoD4 tries to be realistic and fails miserably. CoD4 is nothing like real war, the sound effects are the worst I've ever heard while Crysis has pure realistic sound that isn't compressed.

Having played both games recently I have to go with COD4.

Crysis is supposed to have superior graphics but on my crappy computer COD4 looked much better.

COD4 have better levels. It's not as big as Crysis' but being more linear means that it could be better scripted. There's a real sense of urgency on COD4 while on Crysis I can just take my time and roam around the island.

reply

[–] Reaper11787 17 years ago

frankly CoD4 is better. let's take some different sources of proffesional reviews
Gamespot: Crysis 9.5, CoD4 9.0(but since they gave Halo 3 9.5 and Assasin's cred 9.0 im leaning towards not trusting them anymore)
Gametrailers: Crysis 9.3, CoD4 9.4
X-play: Crysis 3 out of 5, CoD4 5 out of 5
and the fact that CoD 4 won Overall Game of the Year, Console game of the year, Multiplayer game of the year, Action Game of the year, and Outstanding Achievement in Online Game Play while Crysis won Outstanding Achievement in Visual Engineering at th 2008 AIAAs. Almost every aspect of CoD4 is better then Crysis, and what pisses me off the most about Crysis is how you all say how the weapons are so realistic and the FRAKKING CREATORS CAN'T MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN XM8 PROTOTYPE RIFLE AND A SCAR-L!

[–] Miazole 17 years ago

I am not saying the weapons look realistic since they are fake. They shoot realistic for the rounds they are supposed to fire. If you look up Crysis, the "SCAR" in Crysis isn't supposed to be an FN SCAR-L or H or an XM8, it is a new weapon, and it is probably supposed to be a new H&K assault rifle based on the M8.

To me, CoD4 is worse in every aspect, or almost every aspect. You say your opinions like facts. It doesn't matter what other people say. Crysis and CoD4 both one many more awards than what you said, both won many game of the year awards. I don't trust many of those websites since they all give dumbass biased reviews, especially IGN. IGN says GTA has a good storyline. My ass.

reply

[–] Reaper11787 17 years ago

its not a dumbass website, its the equivalent of the Oscars, but for the games. It's the most prestigious awards that can be awarded to Video Games it's the AIAAs, Annual Interactive Achievement Awards. so yea, and CoD4 being not realistic? bull, just so you know every weapon was researched as well as the penetration that each weapon has on different surfaces and the effect that has on bullet speed and velocity. Also, I don't know if you know, but many Iraq war veterans are coming out and saying how frighteningly realistic CoD4 is. Crysis is a great game by all means, but it's not as good as CoD4.

PS. X-play is a tv show not a website

[–] Miazole 17 years ago

Again, you can't say Crysis isn't as great as CoD 4 because it isn't a fact. Crysis is way better than CoD 4 which isn't great, in my opinion. CoD 4 is realistic when it comes to weapon performance (although some guns have too much recoil/muzzle climb like the M16 A3 in SP, and most guns have too much muzzle climb for the first few shots). The penetration is not realistic, you can shoot through the long dumpsters on Countdown the long way, and you can shoot through tanks sometimes. I've gotten killed through tanks. CoD 4 can't remind anyone of war just due to the horrible sound effects. 3rd person gunshots sound like drowned out farts. If the penetration is so realistic why can your 9mm rounds penetrate concrete?

IGN gives horrible biased reviews. Read the ones about the Zelda for the Wii and Smashbros Brawl. He takes off like .5 points since the music isn't 100% orchestrated. They say GTA SA has good graphics and a good storyline, when the story is poorly explained and it barely has a story. The graphics on that game are slightly better than Turok 3. The frame rate was confirmed to be 25 FPS by Rockstar. They say CoD 4 is realistic. Wow. Just because some guns perform realistically doesn't make the game realistic. Other then the horrible sound and unrealistic storyline (how the hell does Russia have 20,000 nukes wow), it is still unrealistic for another big reason. The AI. They are morons, I once saw Lt. Vasquez (whose rank isn't specified completely) and some other Marine crouching next to each other and some OpFor soldier was in front of them. The OpFor soldier was shooting 2 shot bursts and the Marines were doing nothing. All the enemies do is throw grenades but when you get close they melee hit you. On normal mode they do a little more shooting then grenade throwing. If you step out into the "battlefield" they switch fire to you, and on veteran they never miss their shots. I guess that's okay since veteran is just a challenge and a good way to get your gamerscore up. Veteran isn't supposed to be realistic. Also you can't even stealth kill in the game since they magically know where you are. Crysis on the other hand has smart AI and non compressed realistic sound. Sure the storyline is even more unrealistic then CoD 4 but it's supposed to be. CoD 4 tried to be realistic but failed. Why were Marines in the non specified ME country in the first place, because they killed their president, or were we getting oil or what the *beep*? How did Russia get 20,000 nukes when they don't even have 1/4 that right now? Launching nuclear missles in your own country isn't the best idea, neither is launching two nukes at the east coast U.S. I doubt they would do that in real life. All of the British missions are cliched. Why is SSG. Griggs the only Marine with the Brits later in the game? At least that changes. I can go on longer but I won't. My point was already made. CoD 4 is unrealistic.

[–] Reaper11787 17 years ago

yea, Russia is in a civil war, and Griggs isn't the only marine with the SAS. HE'S THE ONLY MARINE WE KNOW! what if there's 28 marines but the only one we know by name is Griggs, he was in another city when the boomb went off. and btw, 1 missile does not equal 1 bomb, its 6-8 bombs that's like 3000 missiles. And Russia does have loads and loads of Nuke, enough of them to wipe out Europe and the US. why would the Marines be in the ME, why are they in Iraq? they probably saw a big threat in Al-Asad who was probably gonna stop supplying them with oil. have you ever been in combat? I've seen combat videos and it's frightening just how easy bullets penetrate CONCRETE! CEMENT! and thick too, so, yea. the sounds are amazing and most of the time i can tell where someone is shooting from thanks to noise, and Crysis AI is not that good. they ignore you for a few seconds if you move in camouflage but then. what about the boats who magically know exactly where to shoot when your sniping from the mountains? yea, that's realistic. also the sounds in Crysis are not that impressive, and sure the graphics are awesome but yea, ill take better gameplay and replayabillity over graphics any and every day. that's the main reason i still play starcraft and diablo. also, i never even mentioned IGN, i mentioned GT, GS and X Play as well as the AIAAs, so i dont see why you keep pulling IGN out. and as TechnoRat said, where exactly are the cliches in the SAS mission? have you even played CoD4? have you downloaded the patch? because i can tell you only certain weapons can shoot through the things you mentioned like LMGs and the 50 Cal, but none shoot thru tanks, and let me tell one more thing, if a piece of you is sticking out just enough to be seen then you can be shot no matter what's in front of u. also, i have never ever been shot through a tank, in fact the few places where i was completely covered where behind various tanks, APCs, BMPs and downed choppers(countdown)

CoD 4 sounds are crap, and I have it for the 360 with a great surround. Crysis sounds way more realistic, and it has better voice acting. You are unintelligent, the US has more nukes then Russia. Russia has less then 3,000 nukes. I never said it was Russia who fired the nukes. Griggs was the only Marine on the mission where you chase Zakhaev. The whole last mission (not the airplane mission after the credits) is 100% cliche. Why were only "Soap", Price, Gaz, Griggs (again the only Marine), and a few other squadmates (probably a squad in total) the only people sent on the mission where Griggs gets captured? But still, you are right. I stand corrected, there aren't THAT many cliches.

Did you play Crysis at all Techno? Or just CoD4?

They're both good games, but ones a common-territory one, the other is Sci-fi.

That's like comparing Grand Theft Auto with Rome: Total War.

reply

[–] ddt_eagleeye 17 years ago

They are both very good games in their own ways.

CoD4 has this kind of movie-feeling to it, with all the very nice scripts you feel like being a part of an action flick like "Blackhawk Down" (remember the mission where you have to rescue the pilot of a downed helicopter? ;)). The Chernobyl sniper-mission made me feel like Bob Lee Swagger from Shooter - great gameplay!
This game also provides a nice feeling of authenticity, like the Spectre-Gunship mission. I looked up some videos on youtube for original video-footage of some AC-130 bombing missions and it looks exactly the same as shown in CoD4. Also, CoD4 has nice graphics and good positional audio, you can hear bullets striking everywhere, if you stand too close to a firing tank you're staggering and get deaf a short time - grenades explosing near you will take your hearing and leave that annoying -beep- in your ear. All those little details give an intense feeling of realism to it. However, Cod4's missions are too linear, you can't even jump over knee-high fences your action radius is very small and limited to the mission critical events.

Crysis on the other hand gives you almost everywhere a free hand. You can choose to eliminate the enemy forces the Arnold-way with superior firepower and great bangs. You can kill 'em the Splinter Cell style - silently. Or you just decide to leave them be and only shoot a round if it's absolutely neccesary. Also, you have countless ways of reaching your objectives. You may approach the village from the south with a boat, using the mounted machinegun to blast the MG bunkers, you could go in from the mountains, taking a silenced sniper rifle and zapping the guards that have no idea where the shots came from. Or you blast the gas station, to distract from rescueing the hostage out of the school. Crysis offers a variety of ways to customize your own style of gameplay.
Of course, the graphics play an important part of giving you the impression that you're exploring a real island almost completely on foot. The few loading screens and giant maps help to achieve this feeling of solitude in a gigantic, living environment. I caught myself sitting on the beach at sunrise, just watching turtles swimming through the water and crabs skittering over the sand. A magnificent taste of holidays on an carribean island conveyed through spectacular graphics.

So, if you're an egoshooter fan and your computer is good enough, I strongly recommend getting them both. Two different styles of great gameplay at a top-notch technical level.

[–] DidntRealise 17 years ago

but what do you say? everybody that has played with both knows it! but both are FPS, so... you can make a comparation, but 1 compartion OBJECTIVE man!
talking about the "freedom" of decission (you can make secondary missions, to go to the s**t and come again.... LOOOOL) CRYSIS is WAY WAY better although the MULTIPLAYER is 1 s**t in comparation with COD4.
P.S=The one that surpass the story of CRYSIS is BIOSHOCK.

COD 4 for overally presentation/narrative and multiplayer. Crysis for the action, the nanosuit and the visuals (which my eyes will probably never get to see in their fullblown glory unless someone hands me some NASA hardware). So I'm pretty evenly split.

p.s. my personal GOTY was BioShock!

[–] DarkMessias 16 years ago

im not a fan of war shooters.
if yo forget the grapic in both games (single player) in Crysis you have big levels and a few ways to finish them. Aou have the funny nanosuit an can destroy barraks with your fists.
What do you have in CoD 4?

But the best "Shooter" 07 was the orange box. Great Singleplayer HL2 + Episodes 1 and 2, great multyplayer TF2 and Portal.

[–] m-slovak79 16 years ago

'overall' i think Call of Duty 4 is better.

Crysis i think was pretty good til near end era cause once you stoped playing against human's i think the game droped off noticeably in overall fun plus end boss i got to but never bothered to beat.

all in all... i give Crysis a 7/10... i would have possibly gave it a 8/10 had it kept more humans in the game etc.
