The FF (Call of Duty 4 Fast File) is a file format that is used exclusively by Activision's popular Call of Duty video game franchise. It is used primarily for storing map data, such as the water depth value, texture coordinates and varying terrain heights. The specific version of this type of file adopted in the game
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare uses the extension symbols, .FF, to signify its distinct purpose.
Implementation
The FF format is technically an archive file which can contain multiple files compressed in a binary format that can be read by the game's engine, allowing it to more efficiently access map data such as triggers and scripts automatically while the game is running. It does this by first decompressing the files within the zip container, then reads the content from there. This type of file contains data encoded in a proprietary Activision format, making it difficult to extract the contents for any other use other than the intended one.
Similar File Types
Similar file types that are also natively used by the Call of Duty video game series include:
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FF) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FF extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FF file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FF extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FF file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
