Guess who won

G4TV has awarded Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare as both Best Xbox 360 game, and the Best Overall game of the show. A special congrats goes out to everyone at Infinity Ward for all of their hard work! When asked for a comment, Grant Collier, president of Infinity Ward, thought deep and hard and added:

"We are extremely thrilled to be bringing home G4's top honor, among a showing of strong contenders, from this years E3. The team at infinity Ward has been eager to share their excitement in creating Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and E3 provided the perfect forum to showcase the title among our peers, retailers and media."

Your very own beloved Dtoid staff had a chance to play a little hands on and see the game in its full glory last week. It really does live up to the hype. While contrary to what you may have heard, there is no tentative release date as of yet but it will be coming sometime this Fall. Until then, there will be a beta release on Xbox Live coming next month. Erections.

Be sure to check back here because a little birdy told me that you might be able to win Beta keys from Destructoid. Additionally, your very own Greybush will have a 1-on-1 interview about the game coming very soon from an upcoming gamer's day event.

I dislike the G4 video thingy. I'd rather use Windows media Player than that thing..

W00t! Call of Duty 4! It does look good.

Yo Ron, since you and I never did any COD2 up, I think there is gonna be quite a few matches of COD4 with our names on it.

Quality of COD4 notwithstanding, I couldn't care less what G4 has to say. Ugh.

I think the fact that G4 got something right is more of a story than Call of Duty 4 winning Best of Show at E3. I mean... hell, CoD4 winning awards is kind of expected.

Oh man... I tell you what, G4 has a lot of creditability when it comes to video games. Why was Bioshock on here? They show next to nothing on that game at E3. #1 choice was pretty accurate but where was Rock Band?!? It should of made the list.

Those keyboards have a mind of their own don't they?

I'm not surprised by the news. I've been in love with infinity ward ever since CoD2.

I don't see why it should have won. If it's pedigree is anything to go by it will consist of lots of cinematics, explosions, smoke and other effects while you fight through hordes of infinitely spawning, scripted and stupid enemies.

Workman and Betas = Win. This game looks incredible; I hope the online play doesn't lag like crazy.

I can't really argue with that. Not top on my list, but definitely an impressive showing.

Impressive, they didn't got with the predictable MGS4.

Then again all we've gotten are trailers and trailers, who cares at this point.

Fuck Activision for not making a PC version of this or CoD3. Without CoD for PC the series wouldn't have gone anywhere. Ungrateful asshats.

I can't wait for this game. It's in my top 3 along with Mass Effect and Left 4 Dead.

If the little birdy is correct, will we have to buy Dtoid paraphernalia and plug it into our consoles to access the COD4 beta like we did with Crackdown to get the Halo 3 beta? Does this mean the Dtoid shirts come with USB cables?

ZOMG! Teh Dtoid shirts come with USB cables! Confirmed!

CoD4 will be on PC as well as the 360.

Ron Workman:"and PS3 serpentish."

Yeah I'd heard it was going to be on it but wasn't sure. Good to hear a confirmation on that.

electro lemon: "Activision didn't even do 3, Treyarch did. Stick to Spiderman, bitches."

Activision still published it but it was developed by Treayarch instead of Infinity Ward. That's not the point though, it sucked.

That game is crazy looking. When it came on in the press room at E3 everybody literally stopped working and just gawked at it

I wasn't aware they were making a PC version. Thanks for clearing that up.

Still, fuck them for CoD3.

Crackerly: Treyarch made COD3. Infinity Ward did COD2 and now COD4. They do not deserve your uninformed hate.
