When this community first launched, we promised exclusives. Well, it doesn't get much bigger than this. Below are five potential directions for the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare package. Below each package is a link to its thread on the Boards. Click on the package to see it up close. Then get personal. Tell us what you think on the packaging boards - what do you like, what tweaks would you like to see made, which is your favorite? If you were stuck on a desert island with one of the packages... you get the idea.

We're finalizing the package as you read this post, so get us your opinions. We appreciate your input, and we hope you like what we've come up with!

I really like the Echo one the most. It reminds me of the chaotic night vision battle in the trailer with all the smoke.

Definitely "Echo".

I quite like Alpha, it has the same look and feel to the previous ones.

They all look so generic. If I didn't read the name of the game on the boxes, I could swear that I've already played that game about 10 times *cough*GHOSTRECON*cough*. I'm not thrilled with the jump to "modern combat", the devolopers should have stuck with their bread and butter WWII theme.

COD4 is a first person shooter
Ghost Recon is a third person squad-based tactical shooter.

Apples and oranges IMO. Oh wait, they both are set in modern times and have guns. You're right.

Alpha looks too similar to Ghost Recon covers. Similarly, Bravo looks too much like a Brothers In Arms cover.

I like the choppers in the background of Charlie. Delta is far too blurry and smokey. Echo is very crisp and clear, and gives the sense that it is intended to be a HD game, and the cover shows this.

If I had to choose just one, it would be the Echo cover.

I'm referring to the cover art of the titles. I took one look at the five covers they are pondering using on the game, and was instantly turned off. Box art is supposed to make me pick up the product, but if I was looking at it in the store it's far to similar to these (not to mention the glut of other military shooters):

I mean come on, you don't see even a passing resemblemce to these other box arts.

All nice and generic. Now, personally I think they should come up with a new game.. where you control a humanoid character (either first or 3rd person), have him running around a 3D space while holding a gun, and you can shoot other characters! I think that kind of game would rock...
