Call of Duty 4 should not be played before bedtime..

[Funk]

I was stuck on the Pripyat sniper mission (I kept getting walloped before the chopper could extract Price and I). I decided I was going to complete it tonight no matter what.

Then I played the next mission. And the next one. And the next one... Now I have adrenaline coursing through my veins, I'm jumpy and on edge and I've got a mild form of bloodlust. And it's quarter-to-two.

I should NOT play Call of Duty 4 before bedtime. Nope.

Oddly enough I'm just about to bang it on for a couple of hours

Nope, just got a few weeks off and enjoying not having to get up at 4am to work 14 hour days mate

I've seen you pop online at silly hours plenty of times

It's addictive, and wholly immersive. I've lost hours at a time to that game. I'm trying to get it done as I have FC2 to play and COD:WAW coming out on Friday.

I still haven't finished Assassin's Creed or even started Crysis:Warhead, Bioshock, Medal of Honour: Airborne or Sins of a Solar Empire. I'm only part-way through Race Driver: GRID, Race 07 and Toca 3.

There are not enough gaming hours in the day.

[Stu R]

know exactly how you feel.

Gears of war 2 has taken up an unbelievable amount of my free time, completed it once and will do so at least once more in co-op and once in single player before putting it to bed. Also got forza 2 to finish and COD4, though the new COD:WAW doesn't have half the appeal for me as the more modern one, that's not to say I won't give it a chance though as I'm sure it's still addictive.

Also got little big world on the PS3 which is the best game ever, am being pressured into getting fallout 3 and fable II and desperately want the motoGP game.

feck, I'm losing my life to gaming! Feck all else to do now the bikes in the garage for a wee while though

I haven't bought any games for my PS3 for months as I can't even keep up on the PC front at the moment. I've always found that I get on better with shooters on the 'puter than on the console, and used to say the opposite about driving games being better on the console. That was before I got the Logitech G25. It will actually connect to both, however I have nowhere to 'site' it for playing on the TV. It's been used exclusively on the PC instead, hence things like GRID, TOCA and Race 07 getting played more.





You can't play CoD4 on the wheel. I've tried.

Can't beat the PC for shooters, but I love the pick up and go aspect of the consoles these days, and got sick of spending thousands a year on the top PC hardware

Plus it means my watercooled rigs are even more understressed and I get something to do, like posting here whilst waiting for the next round to start

Love the wheel, wish I had somewhere to use one as I can see them being a massive advantage.

Sins of a Solar Empire.

Good Game

But not one to help time management issues, you can easily loose track of two hours playing it.

Not all universities are particularly friendly towards consoles in that respect, I can't get my PS3 online anymore, meaning my COD4 summer has drawn to a close. I have been reduced to Midnight Club LA on offline mode.

Do you know of any way of fixing it so I can play online again? I don't know what is blocking it.

Your a bit unlucky there, when I was in halls at uni we had amazing internet( and I mean amazing). Nothing was blocked and you could download a film torrent in about 30mins to an hour at worst.

sorry to hear about that, its kind of a advantage for me though with you keep bloody killing me on call of duty. Cant wait for cod 5 on friday, hopefully you can get your internet fixed so we can all have a game

Fallen into the "Just one more game" trap then Gav?

[Funk]

Once I start playing, I get engrossed.

I know what you mean, I completed Far Cry 2 at around 5am a few days ago.

[Funk]

I just lost another 3 hours. Dammit!

I'm also stuck again. Sometimes the hail of gunfire seems completely impenetrable.

Have you got to "No Fighting In The War Room" bit yet?

Get some Pro-Plus in mate...

My missus banned me from playing COD 4 late at night a while ago, after I woke her up in the night shouting at her 'get up soldier, we're in a god damn war here' - whilst I was asleep!
