Hi guys

I have never tried COD, but want to start playing it. have a few questions now.
Do you need to buy an initial copy of the game and only then the expansions? Or will the "expansions" work fine by themselves? You need to register and activate the game over the net too right?

Then, what is the current mainstream version of the game in use (ie at Lans etc etc) Which version is best for solo play ?

Thanks guys

You need the original game first, then the expansions.

The games have a single player aspect to them, and they are really good to play.
None of them require online activation.
COD4 is being played at LANs and the current version is 1.7

The Cod series are some of the only games I've ever finished. COD RULEZ!

Thanks KB

OK - Now Im looking for Call of Duty 3 - but cannot find a PC version.

That cannot be true... right?

COD 3 was a console game, never came to PC.

It was rubbish anyway.

Ain't it the truth! Use to lan COD2 like mad....until COD4 came oot COD4 FTW! Can't wait for number 5

would be playing online actually if i could play against people . lols.
awesome game that. you buy COD4 by itself if there are any confusions

I've finished Cod4 but I've been playing arcade mode all day yesterday and today! It's just THAT good!

Arcade mode? Whats that......OT/ The Agony Scene OWN! Nice sig /OT

I also want to know about this arcade mode.

I just bought the whole series from the 1st game right up to this modern warfare one. Only the stuffs for PC. Kalahari.net FTW.

When you finish the career you unlock arcade mode, it lets you play the game again either single missions or the whole game and then you get points and stuff, it's awesome

hmmmm.... if people dont know about the arcade mode they obviously didnt complete the game yet.

Is this arcade mode only in the new game or the older versions too?

Only in COD4. And if you finish the game, and you have the patience to watch the credits, there will be a surprise level..

is that the level on the plane?

Yup.

You can play it in Arcade, played it over and over for 2 hours straight haha. I LOVE IT! Hope COD5 has similar levels

Kalahari.net should deliver my sweets either today or tomorrow.
Cant wait.

I got COD Deluxe
COD 2
COD 4

Gona start playing the 1st one, do the expnasions then move up to 4 eventually. Its gona be fun.

The older games COD 1 + expansion and COD 2 + explansion.... do they have patches I would need to get? Stuff like bug fixes etc etc ?

AFAIK, cod2 doesn't have expansion packs. And I'm not sure about this, but I would expect that you would get them up to date. For cod2 I know the latest patch is v1.3, and for cod4 it is v1.7

I love the cod series! Number 1 was very origional and fun, and it's expansion just maxed that fun with the new levels and weapons. Cod2 is by far the best (for me). the whole game was much more detailed and authentic. Cod4 is also great, especially the whole modern warfare thing. Only problem is that cod4 isn't playable at the hardest level, you get shot 3 times and you die.
And the best thing of the series, it is SO easy to mod for it!

btw, how much did you pay at kalahari for the series?

I paid R460 for all the boxed sets and expansions for those.
Its all the available COD titles available for PC.

lol, i completed the game on hardest level, well, not completely. I had to skip One hit, One kill and another level (forgot name) where you had to rescue Griggs.

That One hit One kill is an insanely hard level. 8O
