Call of Duty 4 tops BAFTA nominees

call of duty doesnt deserve to be on the 2008 game award but the other games are chossen right

yeeeehaaawww... COD 4 the best!=)

little big planet, GTA IV and MGS4 are my hopefuls.

resistance 2, gta iv, mgs4 and lbp would be my top winners

where's Resistance 2 under multiplayer?!?!?!?!? and Little Big Planet is amazing same with MGS4...Resistance 2 = best shooter other than cod4 or course, little big planet = best platformer and inovative game and MGS4 best action/adventure game...those would be my awards

This is a joke. Call of Duty should not be here at all, it's in almost every category possible. Metal Gear should be for GOTY, and Assassin's Creed...

@TheUnf0rgiven If I see a list that is full of FPS, then I'd say thats biased. MGS 4 is a good game but it's not the best.

What the CRAP!!! Is no one reconizing Brawl as THE best Wii gamne out there!!!!???? I mean c'mon im sure More people play Smash Bros. than Buzz! Quiz TV!

Rizer, these are nominations, they are in alphabetical order, not in order of greatness, so fable 2 didn't beat Mass Effect in storyline (unless it wins, lol), so calm down.

games like Tomb Raider are even in there... which was the shi**iest tomb raider ever and the buggiest! what is the world coming to?

Cod4 best character development? I dont know about that one...

What The...!? MGS 4 HAD ONLY 2 NOMINATIONS? EVERY OTHER GAME HAD MORE NOMINATIONS THAN IT... What a biased... biased award! Disappointing... no appreciates real games anymore...

Woah, very long list but all those games are good and I don't have a problem with them being nominees

I agree with most of these decisions.

This doesn't matter. GameSpot called MGS4 GOTY.

I agree with noah phoenix, on the noob issue, and that other guy, the army soldier looking dude, i been playing online with counter strike since like sept 2000 "i still have a social life yes" , and i still get called a noob, how dare they am a online vetran god dammit! and yes it was the americans who invented the word noob, some people should go out and get laid more. Simon says:make love, and explosions (see what i did there?)

Fable II outdid Mass Effect in "Best Storyline"? Are you freakin' kidding me? Who rigged that one?

Best shooter of all time cod 4. period...

CoD 4 artistic achivement? I'm not normally one to cry "Conspiracy!", but really, that game has been nominated in far too many catagories for what it's worth. How about Valkyria Chornicles or Prince of Persia? How can CoD 4 deserve it more than either of thosse? It's a modern warfare game running on a basic FPS engine. I bet it wins GotY, and I bet it's been paid off.

i agree with both of you, it's the worst in pc games if your the last one alive and you get killed they just randomly call you a n00b even if thier rubbish themselves

Agreed Noah. Some people, especially on multiplayer are complete pillocks. I got kicked off a server in left 4 dead once just because I was clearing zombies from the doorway when we were still locked in the saferoom, and yet everyone does that. But they decided to call me a n00b and kick me. It's the same with clans, they really annoy me. Elitist dipsticks.

I'm probably going to sound really old now, but WTF are nade spammer and a nubetuber? I know what a 'noob' is, and I've got to say it's the most pathetic and offensively American thing I've ever heard anyone say. Every single person that buys a game and starts to play is technically a 'noob', everyone was new to each game at some point, so why do more experienced players use it as a cuss? You may now swear and call me a 'noob' to your hearts content.

Only just got into COD4, don't normally like FPS's, but this game changed my mind in a big way. So addicted right now and it so deserves the awards. All the other games in all the lists are good examples of their genres, but only COD4 excels at everything it set out to achieve, and meateater79 is right, like GTA3 was, COD4 will be the standard all others like it will have to live up to. Assassins Creed deserves the story gong, though. Playing the story in COD4 was awesome, but on paper it's lacking. Not too sure if GTA IV deserves all this praise, though. Same with Fable 2. Was a little disappointed by them both.

wow now that,s is the best game I ever played COD4

i cant wait to be blown away by modern warfare 2

CoD4 will be the standard that most people measure future FPSs against.

i think cod4 is a great game but i dont know how it was in the story catergorie

Another great reason to own the masterpiece that is Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. I can't wait to get more info on Modern Warfare 2!

ooops srry about the re-post

lol why in the world would you have an accesory (Wii Fit) under game of the year? HA........so fuking stupid

I still enjoy COD4: MW more than COD5. They should have stuck with the whole modern war thing instead of transitioning back to WWII stuff.

I'm an xbox fan-boy, I've heard MGS4's ups and few downs and if majority of gaming websites give it 10/10's or 9/10's that should at least be in nominee for GOTY. If I knew what technical achievement was metalgear-solid I might add it for that one but it doesn't matter if it was or wasn't added for story and character, Mass Effect would've had that in the bag either way.

i am incredibly surprised that MGS4 hardly came up in any of these, especially story and character

Everyone has an opinion and if you look around there are so many personal game of the year awards. To me everyone has their own GOTY that fits their individual taste and likes in their gaming style. It's satisfying to see so many games I own listed in the various categories to receive some kind of award. It renews my faith in picking a good game. but then, there are the games that brought really full time enjoyment that are not even listed and you wonder why. Like the Academy Awards these awards are for the folks in the industry. Hope they enjoy their time in the sun.

Inconnux Posted Feb 11, 2009 7:24 am PT I enjoyed CoD4 at first, one of the few single player games I have bothered finishing. Online it turned into a nade spammer/ noobtuber fest and I got sick of it very quickly. What they need to do is fix this, or make it a serverside option. they never did and many people quit playing it. Im sure infinity ward doesn't care because they got their money. I won't bother with the next version unless these issues are dealt with. ______________________ Don't blame CoD4 because u die of tuber.u can also use tube but its obvious u can't use it very well.that is the technic that u can't master(and all the ppl who blame tuber,dont be noob la). Honestly CoD4 is a great game and it deserve to get all the awards

Habaro, why do people keep talking about Assassin's Creed's amazing story-line? I thought the overall premise was great, but honestly I saw the final plot twist coming from the third assassination. And the whole treasure thing, could they make it anymore obvious what the scientists were after? I thought the story was still good, but it does not deserve so much praise.

metalgear-solid, of course you think it's flawed. Judging by your name you have an extremely biased opinion. Maybe you should stop and think, 'maybe not everyone has to like MGS4'.

Inconnux, apparently you're in the vast, vast minority on this issue. Because as I recall CoD 4 was constantly #1 on LIVE until WaW came out--even now it has yet to fall beyond #4. I think it's justice that CoD 4 is up for seven awards and WaW is up for zero.

LOL, joke or what? MGS4 not even nominated for "Game Award of 2008", "Technical Achievement", Story and Character". A very flawed list indeed.

cod4 is really great game in each aspect.simply is beautiful.good job.mgs4 is also superb game...cya m8s on battleground

Where is Valkyria Chronicles under artistic achievement? I think we can all agree there is no other game that looks like it.

@ DarkCloud25 COD4 IS an excellent game, IMO the best. Now you ask why they changed back to WWII, the reason is that activision owns the licence, Treyarch and Infinity Ward are the devolepment teams. They take turns every year to make the game. COD3- Treyarch COD4 - Infinityward W@W - Treyarch. This is because the develepors have longer to make the game and it ensures a higher quality. The next installment is going to be Modern Warfare 2, from Infinty ward.

No MGS 4................. still, I don't care because gamespot picked MGS 4 as the GOTY, so I don't really care about this awards.

... mgs4 IS the game of the year!!!

Cod4 still the best and fifa09 the best football game ever!!!

nice to see the love go to some games that truly deserve it. I am sick of all the mgs4 love - I mean I guess it does deserve some kind of award for actually being able to make the entire mgs storyline make some sort of sence, but that would be about it.

Finally good to see an awards show that didn't kiss the backside of MGS4 too much.... I know a lot of people liked it, but I just didn't. Nice to see there are others out there who didn't like it too.... Good to see LBP in a good number of nominations too - it's a great game.

not to have MGS4 in Artistic and Technical Achievement...whttt....these awards suxx
