Worth getting cod4 now?

[KyyyleN]

Hey guys!
Im gona be honest, i pirated the game to test how it ran on my pc, it worked great but there was ALOT of hackers/cheters on the cracked servers.
My question: Is it worth getting it for 24,99€ on steam now?
Is it alot of hackers ETC?

Thanks


And btw: When ever i pirate a game its JUST for test how it will run on my system, then if i like the game and it runs well ill buy it!. I

Barely any hackers when playing on "real" servers. Last one I've seen must've been like three or four months ago, and I'm playing frequently.

It's too old but enjoyable!

Rip off price. And OP, sure get it if you want a game where all servers ban the same perks, weapons and only cycle crap maps.

The only real problem with buying CoD4 on steam is not being able to down grade to 1.6.

With the retail version you will be at ver 1.6. There are alot of people playing on those servers, and you can patch to 1.7 if you like.
I see more populated servers in ver 1.6.

With Steam you will be stuck at ver 1.7.

I have both retail and Steam versions. My retail version is setup for ver 1.6 mods and my Steam is stock 1.7.

Just go buy it and stop being a Pirate.

I think it's worth buying because the best people play cod4,and not noobs (gl) etc.But it's gonna be an assf**ck as long as you are lvl 1-30

Ive noticed this, any reason why people do that?

1.6 is more customizable and easier to mod. Maybe the people who bought it retail don't know about the 1.7 patch.
1.6 comes with the map packs and works great just the way it is.

Here's the release notes-> http://bashandslash.com/index.php?It...tent&task=view

Unsure what the Dvars and exploits were but the 1.7 patch separated the community.
Some of the mods weren't made to work in 1.7. Imho 1.6 is far better (mod wise) but I bought the Steam version to play with my Steam friends.

There are more servers on 1.7 but most are empty or in countries outside the US. I see more players and mods on 1.6. Ck again later this evening. I have a friend that shuts his server down when hes not playing.

Actually the best time to check would be weekends.

It's just my opinion that 1.6 is better, you can patch to 1.7.
With Steam you can't unpatch the game.

1.6 is no easier or harder to make a mod than 1.7. The mod code is pretty much the same.

Unless you are talking about individual players making their own changes to their own clients and not something on server level. Simple difference in what a term means I suppose.
