What does the CoD4 Epilogue Mean?

This is my good friend, Call of Duty 4.

Before beating it fully (all 1000 GamerScore points), I had to beat a certain extra mission/epilogue after the credits called Mile High Club. This doesn't spoil anything in CoD4 because the end mission has NOTHING to do with the game your must beat to get to this special mission. If you have not played Mile High Club all you have to do is save a VIP and extract them while on a plane captured by terrorists in which you play as an SAS team. This editorial will be all about what this epilogue could mean.

For the Heck of It.

First off this mission is possibly the hardest mission on veteran. You have 60 seconds to beat it and I had to watch 3 youTube videos to get a winning strategy. This means that Activision put a lot of detail into this small but thought provoking mission thus I don't think they did it for no reason. However Infinity Ward could have used this as a mission prior to release and it got scrapped but thrown in at the end for fun.

Expansion Pack?

It is obvious that your teammates and enemies look very much like enemies in the original CoD4 so it could just be a hint at a retail expansion pack or future downloadable content...but I doubt it. IW likes to give to the gamers not jip them for every penny ala Electronic Arts.

???

This is what the mission description reads. So maybe they are doing it to confuse us? That's not nice....

Call of Duty 6 or...

Yes. Six. Call of Duty 5 has been confirmed by a few sources that it is back to WWII and is going to be made by Treyarch (Call of Duty 3) So Mile High Club would have to hint at missions from Call of Duty 6 or a new game. What would this new game be? Mostly likely a shooter but could they be shooting for the Ubisoft/Tom Clancy (GRAW/Rainbow Six) crowd? Does Infinity Ward think it is too lonely in the tactical/modern shooter genre? I wouldn't be suprised if IW (they are hiring as their online message hinted on launch to EA Chicago) keeps the core team on the next CoD (Most likely 6) and break off a newer team on a new game.

What do you think the Epilogue (Mile High Club) Mission means?

    I dont think there will be any sort of expansion since this COD game was based more on story. and from the ending the story looks over. Maybe the missions is a taste of what COD6 will be like. More Counter-Terrorist operations and less of a all out war.

  • Homes225

    So Option CoD6. Good choice.

    cool

    You know i fully expected Call of Duty 5 to revert back to WWII, i even had a hunch that Criterionw ould once again take the reigns. Lets hope COD6 comes back to the Modern Warfare though.

    I know how much you want this game because of your avatar It's funny now that its out. Good Luck

    Going back to WW2 = Dumb. Then again i can't get passed the "One Shot One Kill" level.

  • TonicBH

    Posted Nov 15, 2007 6:23 pm PT

    Um. Treyarch did Call of Duty 3, not Criterion (who has been owned by EA for the past few years).

    I hope COD5 does not go back to World War II. I'd rather them stick with the modern warfare aspect.

    sry i can't really comment on ur blog. I haven't played 4 yet so i don't want it spoiled for me.

    i have yet to pick this game up and am pissed, i saw a video from mile high club level it looks freakin sweet =) i need a challenge in my fps games. The genre is getting realy stale and this type of fast paced action on hard mode is just what i need.

  • gamah_killah

    Posted Nov 15, 2007 7:57 pm PT

    Sorry, but Criterion didn't make COD3 (Treyarch did), right?

    Anyways, the Mile High Club mission looks cool. I've seen it Youtube. I'm not so familiar with the clues.

    to answer your question what does the epilogue mean? It means i need to get the game
    Interesting review on it and i am glad that you jabbed at companies like EA that try to milk your money and that CoD4 gives it to you in one game. Though hypocritical as it may sound, the expansion packs sound intriguing if you want to keep playing but i don't feel you have to pay almost the same price for it In fact it should be almost free as it seems they "oops i forgot to put this in there"

    Maybe i'll get the PC version

  • nutcrackr

    i thought it was just a mission they couldn't find room for in the main story.

    i'm going to have to get CoD4 eventually...

    SPOILERS...

    I can't do that mission on Veteran where you try and stop the missiles before the time limit. Also, Mile High is near-impossible for me. One of those "get-lucky" missions.

    Hey criterion didnīt make COD3. Tryanarch did Anyways i hope your right, but iīm not sure on COD5 returning to WW2. Thereīs not much left to tell about WW2, and iīll only think that COD5 will disappoint

  • Nico4

    Posted Nov 16, 2007 12:10 pm PT

    I hope it means a expansion I completed Mile High on veteran, it took me 2 hours!

    I always mix them up! Sorry!

    Back to WWII? Why couldn't they just pick up where IW left off.

  • Homes225

    Because they can?

    still waiting for my pre order to arrive . congrats on getting all 1000 on cod 4

  • normal_man

    Posted Nov 18, 2007 7:21 am PT

    Gratz on 1000 points And yeah, it strange about this epilogue... maybe CoD6, but I wish they make an expansion pack of CoD4... or release some tools for making missions.

  • Homes225

    Posted Nov 18, 2007 8:17 am PT

    Some high quality DLC or a retail pack for a cheap price would be awesome.

  • fkholmes

    Posted Nov 20, 2007 12:31 am PT

    CoD 5 is WW2 again? Aw man

  • StarFry

    Posted Nov 21, 2007 9:24 pm PT

    the mission was very fun but why another WW2 game? i have to see what COD6 looks like before i'll decide to buy it. Call of Duty 4 is great but no where near perfect.

  • Homes225

    Posted Nov 23, 2007 10:37 am PT

    Because Infinity Ward stays on Modern or Future times while Treyarch stays on WWII? I don't know but it's a rumor.

  • ZeroSHEARER

    Posted Jan 15, 2008 7:32 am PT

    well all i see in the point of mile high club is to make me really, really, really angry and wanna jump out of a plane myself i just cant do the level on veteran it seems like run and hope to me but maybe i just complainin haha it relli fun on easy or normal or summin but 59 seconds :O no way and yeh i think treyarch will stick in ww2 for now while infinity ward takes 2 years to develop cod6 in the same way they took 2 years or more on cod4 to make sure they get the game right and how its supposed to be while treyarch carry on bleeding the ww2 genre for a while longer and make games where the ranked matches dont work agen like cod3 but COD4 RULES!!!!!!!!!!
