Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

[IC Champion]

We need to heave TPWW private match sometime or somehting.

[D Mac]

Already mentioned that but nobody followed up.

[U-Warrior]

Found an awesome jump on crossfire. Pretty sure its only available on old school.

[Blitz]

Let's get another TPWW match going. I won't feel too bad getting killed by you all

[Extreme Angle]

How about I send you invites in about 8 hours?

[IC Champion]

I say tonight at 9 EST we have a TPWW match.

[OssMan]

Yeah so I got jawsome at this somewhat got 30 kills goin on up in here

[Blitz]

I am getting better. Hit level 4 today :D

PS I hate Martyrdom.

[D Mac]

Until you use it. :roll:

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Until you use it. :roll:

Exactly.

Then you learn to never run past anyone you've just killed, just in case :o

[G]

So many great perks to use instead of Martyrdom.



I got -800 points in HS&D last night. :cool:

[Vietnamese Crippler]

The Sleight of Hand perk is great when using a machine gun.


I stop playing for 3 days because of my computer going crazy and now I suck hard :(

[Disturbed316]

Up to level 50 now, had abit of a mess around with the sniper riffles but they arent really my style. Currently using the mini uzi just for the points, huge pain in the arse to use, I hate them. Got the day off today so will probably get a good couple of hours of play today.

[G]

I'm pretty much bored with this game now. I don't understand how you non prestige'rs do it. I've done most of the challenges, couldn't care less about golden guns, and have red camo on my favorite guns. I hope they up the prestige to 20 or something.



Oh well, only a month until Vegas 2,

[Disturbed316]

Up to level 53 now, there is no chance in hell am I going prestige after all this.

[OssMan]

When I got to level 55 the only thing that I did was finish the head shot challenge with P90 for red tiger camouflage CHALLENGE COMPLETE and after that it was really boring so i did prestige.

[Disturbed316]

Level 54, this could take some time.

[Disturbed316]

Finally reached 55, just that last one to go till prestige, although I doubt Ill do it at the moment.

[Mr Regal]

Some people are like level five prestige...how is that even possible.....jobless cunts.

[G]

Some people are like level five prestige...how is that even possible.....jobless cunts.



I know right, I've seen guys all the way in level 10. :eek:

[Disturbed316]

Hit prestige level about an hour ago, am tempted to do it, but have got a far less time on my hands to go through it again and again now, so in two minds about it.

[D Mac]

This game is less fun anymore. Maybe when the new maps come out.

[Disturbed316]

Yeah, I know what you mean, needs some new maps to spice things up.

[LoDownM]

Started playing Sabotage. Still gets old fast, new maps now please.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Don't know since my 360's out for repair :roll: but isn't bombkill cam active now?

PATCH IS OUT NIGGERS

[D Mac]

Info on the patch...

Great News! The new feature patch I talked about last week (with new Kill Cams, Host Migration, and other new features) for the Xbox 360 has finished it’s internal testing and development and has officially been sent off to Microsoft for Certification. It’s only a matter of Microsoft putting it through the certification paces and it will be available for download for all Xbox 360 players.

If you forgot, keep reading to re-cap on all the new features this patch brings to players.

As for the Playstation 3 version of this patch, it’s currently finishing up it’s final internal testing (which I’m expecting to go very quickly) and should be heading off to Sony for it’s own certification in the near future, I’ll post that and full details on what that includes when that time comes.

New Kill Cams
We’ve added new Kill Cams for everything. So now those “WTF!” grenades that seemingly come from no where, you can see that a guy threw it over the house, it hit a tree branch, bounced off a rock, into a tiny window, where you happened to be pointing out of, and say…… whoa. Follow behind RPGs and M203’s kill cams, claymores, Airstrikes where you can follow the bomb from the plane until it hits you.

Host Migration:

Now you won’t have to be dropped back by yourself when a host leaves. Instead, everyone will stay together, a new host will be assigned, and the game will auto-start back up. Keeping everyone together, no more re-inviting, re-joining games because some host leaves. This has been a tall order and something that we’ve put a lot of work into which has allowed us to really optimize online play all around not just specifically with Host migration.

Improved Sniper / ACOG Accuracy:

Sniper and ACOG scopes have been tweaked and are really improved. I use to not snipe at all (mainly because I’m a horrible sniper), but now it’s so much more fluid and natural, while still having the same difficulty to use, it has no more “WTF I know I hit that guy!” moments.

Upgraded Spectator Cam:

Now when you’re in spectator mode you can follow them in 3rd person, switch to their first person view, or rotate the camera in a full 360 degrees around whoever you’re watching.

Quick Mute Option

Users will now be able to quick mute players on the fly by pulling up the scoreboard in-game or via the lobby by simply going to their name and hitting the mute assigned button. As quickly as calling in and designating an airstike. So no longer getting killed while trying to make your way through the Xbox blades for the mute option so you can shut up the guy who always seems to find it funny to sing into his mic or cover up for his lack of skill by telling you how to play Domination his way.

In addition to these feature additions there will also be:

Improved Network Performance For Larger Games

* 18 player games now require more bandwidth to host, resulting in smoother performance for players.

Optimized Server Selection for First Match

* Server selection is now optimized to select best bandwidth servers associated by LSP.
Fixed “Playlist Older Than Host” Error

* Player will no longer get error when entering games.
Additional Start Spawn Locations in All Maps

* Added a minimum of 9 extra start spawns on each side of all maps.

[DS]

I am incredibly disappointed. I was under the impression that the host migration would eliminate the "Host has ended game" scenerio. But nope.

So really, besides the "Playlist older than host" error, this patch is completely meaningless to me. Good job Infinity Ward!

[G]

sniper detection is now amazing

[D Mac]

I am incredibly disappointed. I was under the impression that the host migration would eliminate the "Host has ended game" scenerio. But nope.



Really? :n:

[IC Champion]

you guys just bitch like girls.

[G]

don't talk to him that way

[G]

OR ELSE

[Blitz]

Gettin' a little addicted here. Also getting better. Got a 4 kill streak today!

[U-Warrior]

Yeah, my sniping is pretty nasty now. Killed 3 guys within 4 seconds.

[Requiem]

Played ground wars for about 2 and a half hours last night with 7 other people all in one place. We didn't lose a single game.. didn't matter what it was. The great thing was that the scores on the other team didn't even come close to ours. Games that went to 1000 were usually 1000 to 300 tops. It was amazing.. 2 and a half hours of straight dominating faces. I was in the top 3 in every game except 3 or 4, those games being my first and last games. Warming up was a bitch, and I started to get tired around midnight so I started sucking again.

[OssMan]

So Acog is incredible now. Using AK47 with acog, double tap, and steady aim :love: finally got my frag x3 back :drool:

[Requiem]

I have heard nothing bud bad news about this new patch. Saying that there are suddenly a bunch of unskilled noobs sniping due to it being retardedly easy and unchallenging. This is very disappointing. Sniping was fine.. it was as it should have been. Sniping was hard, but every once in a while you would find people who were just ridiculous at it and that made it realistic.. like it should have been. It SHOULD be harder... not just point and shoot when someone is directly in your crosshairs. I'm told there is no more leading.

[Blitz]

I don't get it. I used an Acog today for the first time with my MP5, and found myself vastly preferring even the iron sight to it.

[OssMan]

I don't get it. I used an Acog today for the first time with my MP5, and found myself vastly preferring even the iron sight to it.Throw some steady aim on that tip

I continue to blow cock with sniper rifles also

[Blitz]

I thought Steady Aim only helped with hip firing.

Also ya I am trash at sniping.

[RoXer]

I'm back guys.

I was with sgand's mom.

[OssMan]

I thought Steady Aim only helped with hip firing.

Also ya I am trash at sniping.Yes so when you see a nigga right in front of you dont need to aim down the sights cos you can hip fire at him innit. Then some ho is mad far away and you aint tryna hear that, bam acog scope

[Blitz]

Let's play Roxer.

[OssMan]

Saw someone get 2 headshots with one bullet today something I never seen, this fucker on my team was camping next to a wall and this guy sniping had a perfect shot on him, so he holds his breath about to shoot and I come running in front of this guy out of nowhere as soon as he shoots and we both die. Crazy

[Blitz]

Got the G3 today. I like. I like a lot.

[D Mac]

Roxer I'll have to add you again. Quit going away for so long. :mad:

[G]

I'm back guys.

I was with sgand's mom.



you're such a faggot

[Requiem]

Got the G3 today. I like. I like a lot.

The G3 is pretty much amazing. That, and the M4 Carbine are the only 2 guns I really bother using anymore. Stopping power and Extreme Conditioning with the G3, and Stopping Power and Steady Aim with the Carbine, both with red dots.

[G]

G3 and P90 are my main squeezes :love:

[G]

This fool comes online after a 65 day absence and says "I'll be with you in an hour". Why come on at all if you're going to make me wait. :mad:

[Blitz]

Sorry I killed you twice today G. Reflexes :(

[Blitz]

Also, this was my first time playing Search And Destroy, let alone Hardcore. I sucked.

[OssMan]

******************lets do a battle royale tonight**********************

[Blitz]

I'm in.

[G]

:mad:

[OssMan]

lol still love how they play the Russian national anthem when the Spetsnaz win.

[D Mac]

Hurry up with those fucking new maps. :mad:

[D Mac]

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/callofduty4modernwarfare/news.html?sid=6187656&tag=topslot;title;5

Last year was exceptionally strong for first-person shooters. Yet despite being one of the latest genre releases in the year, Call of Duty 4 towered over its competition. There are so many shooters released these days that it's hard to stick with an online community for more than a few weeks, but even months later, we're still obsessively playing COD4's addictive online mode with no end in sight. So we counted ourselves among the incredibly fortunate when we headed down to developer Infinity Ward's Southern California offices recently to check out the game's first downloadable map pack, which is coming later this spring.

We got a chance to chat with IW community relations manager Robert Bowling--better known to COD4 diehards by his online handle, "fourzerotwo"--about the pending downloadable maps. The first thing he told us was the first thing we wanted to hear about this pack: The Middle Eastern and Russian environments will no longer comprise the entirety of the retail game's lineup. Now that the team has moved on from the single-player campaign (and has time to work up some new art assets), we can expect to see new Call of Duty 4 maps set in entirely new locations separate from the original game.

Well, except one of the maps in this pack. It's called Broadcast and is lifted from the Iraqi campaign "Charlie Don't Surf," in which you assault a television station where the enemy is holed up. Don't think the team just copied and pasted the campaign map into this multiplayer pack, though. It does contain the iconic, cavernous main room with its dozens of computer monitors and TV screens, as well as a big map of the world on the wall. We can tell you from experience that that's a great place for multiplayer firefights, with all those cubicles to duck down behind and all that equipment just waiting to get shot up by you or your opponents. A large-scale multiplayer match concentrated in that room is going to be serious calamity.

But Broadcast has been expanded significantly throughout its incarnation in the campaign. There are multiple routes into and out of that main room. Some routes lead up to the building's second floor, replete with smaller rooms and hallways. The map is mostly indoors, so air strikes and helicopters will be largely ineffectual--except up on the roof, which you can access from the second floor, as well as in the expanded parking lot area outside the main building. On the other side of that parking lot is another new, smaller building that you can hide out in as well.

The second map we played is entirely new, and it's named Creek. But there's a lot more to it than a simple babbling brook. This is a very large-scale outdoor map with a small cluster of houses on one side of it. In the middle, there's a huge ravine circling the perimeter with multiple levels of pathways up its side. Down below, the trail leads along the eponymous creek bed to a waterfall. Elsewhere along the base of the ravine, there's a lengthy and winding cave that cuts underneath the hill then out to the other side. As big as it is, there are a lot of places to go on this map; from prone sniping atop the cliff face to hiding out behind a rock in the tunnel, you never know where an opponent will be attacking you.

Broadcast naturally looks exactly like COD4's campaign, but Infinity Ward's artists have done a nice pass on Creek to give it a distinctive look, with rocky terrain and various sorts of foliage that are more verdant than what you've seen in the previous Russian maps. It all feels a little sunnier and more pleasant than the game's other forested maps, too--at least until you catch a slug between your teeth. Because there's so much underbrush and shrubbery on top of the cliffs here, Bowling pointed out that it's a great map for you to use the sniper's ghillie suit for blending in while going for some sneaky kills.

There will actually be four maps in the final pack, though we can only really tell you about these two. The other two will be Chinatown, which is pretty self-explanatory, and Killhouse, which is a "bonus" map that we didn't get any hard details on (though we were told to think of the single-player campaign's initial training level as a reference). The map pack will be available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in the coming months for an unspecified price. But interestingly, Infinity Ward hasn't decided how the maps will be distributed on the PC, where players are much more expectant of postrelease bonus content being released for free. Realistically, Call of Duty 4's multiplayer is so absurdly good that would have gladly handed over cash for whatever maps the designers could have phoned in--so we're especially glad to see them putting so much time and care into this first release.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Pfft if it's not free screw them

[G]

The screenshots of Creek and Broadcast looked pretty good. Too bad they decided to release them after some upcoming big releases.

[Requiem]

And too bad nobody cares unless they fix sniping. :mad: Not gonna lie, I pretty much hate this game now because of that. It's on par with Halo 3 after that stupid shit.

[DS]

Yeah, completely ruined this game for me. Going to trade this game in while I can get some decent return for it.

[ClockShot]

Map rotation for me is getting a bit bad. Played for about 2.5 hours yesterday and didn't even play District once.

It's my best map too.

[Ogen]

Happily pay for the new maps as long as they are a decent price never played a game online as much as this.

[U-Warrior]

Yeah, what is this "They should be free" crap?

The game itself comes with enough shit to make it worth more than 60 dollars.

I'm more than happy to pay.

[OssMan]

That would be weird though, like if you were in a party with two friends, and one has the news maps andone doesnt, and you join a game that's at Countdown or something and it gets skipped and the map is now one of the new ones, that wouldn't work? So it would have to be part of a patch

[G]

Just like in Vegas, I'd imagine you'd just get disconnected.

[G]

Pfft if it's not free screw them



I bet you're one of the idiots with xboxliveshouldbefree bullshit as their gamertag motto.

[IC Champion]

Some people are too cheap to spend $5 a month for a service.

[ClockShot]

I listened to an interview. One of the new maps "Chinatown" is Call of Duty 2's "Carentan" multiplayer map retweaked.

However, I wonder if the other two are winners of the custom map contest Infiinity Ward got going on.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

I bet you're one of the idiots with xboxliveshouldbefree bullshit as their gamertag motto.

I bet you're one of those idiots who makes ridiculous assumptions.

Oh wait, you are.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

For the record, I don't mind paying for DLC. I've bought GH3 tracks among other things. But the support for the game since it came out has been bad, I don't know of another way to characterise it. It has taken them forever to fix some pretty bad issues. And tbh unless the new maps are VERY well designed (and the prospect of multiplayer in the TV station doesn't strike me as intriguing in the slightest) then I won't be bothering. ESPECIALLY if they price them up at the same kind of point as the Halo maps, considering those can be customised (and fully built from ground up, in one case) and the first batch is set to go free pretty soon.

[G]

I bet you're one of those idiots who makes ridiculous assumptions.

Oh wait, you are.


Hmm, let's see here.


Pfft if it's not free screw them


You're right. I don't know why that post made me assume you're a cheap gamer who thinks everything should be free. :roll:

[G]

I would really love to quote post #573, but I'd rather not wait 5 minutes for it to load. :roll:


I agree with you here. Support has been bad. There are so many fucking things wrong with online play. I'm not going to list, as we all know them. I am very close to ebaying my copy of it. :n:


Ok, I'll list a few. First of all, I'M SICK OF PLAYING WITH FUCKING FRENCHIES AND BRITS WHO LAG THE FUCKING GAME. GOD. Why can't IW get their head out of their ass and fix this. I want to play with my own country so I can at least see the person who runs in front of me and kills me. I cannot fucking stand running around a corner, yet I get shot after I am completely out of sight. FUCK.

Hit detection. HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETELY FIXED. I had a headshot lined up on a camper, yet it missed 3 FUCKING TIMES AND THEN HE SHOT ME.

Uhhh, if you're going to have S&D mode, at least don't have maps THAT ARE ONE FUCKING SIDED.

This new hosting bullshit is pure garbage. Nothing like having a party of 6, join a room that is empty, yet the brits come in a get host. Oh and, STOP ENDING THE GODDAMN GAME WHEN THE SORE LOSING HOST LEAVES.

Frag fest. No need to elaborate.

Worst online community I have been apart of. The quick mute I'm sure was a good idea on paper, BUT WHAT ABOUT DURING THE MAIN LOBBY BEFORE AND AFTER A MATCH. Hey I got it, let's waste most of the downtime GOING INTO PROFILES AND MUTING PEOPLE. GIVE ME THE OPTION TO KICK ANNOYING 12 YEAR OLDS. Oh wait, not like it matters since I'm never host. It always makes since to make someone 321431 miles away from me host.

Click a game type and hop in a match. Why? Why throw me in a room full of frenchies. Why throw me in a room on the LAST FUCKING ROUND AND PUT ME ON THE LOSING SIDE. It's a good thing stats don't mean shit, cause IW is out to fuck you on them. Let me pick which room I want to join, k? Maybe even list the GODDAMN LANGUAGE in the room description, ala Vegas style. IW sure could learn A TON from Vegas's online set ups.

I'm sick of playing the same 4 maps over and over for 2 hours. FIX THE GODDAMN MAP ROTATION TO, get this, INCLUDE ALL THE MAPS!!! Sounds like a slick idea, huh? Apparently not.

Why no penalties for the team killers? Why just let them have free reign to stay however long they please, and ruin everyone else's game. Back to the point of being able to kick people, or in Vegas 2's case, auto kicking after pulling such bullshit (In a review I read anyways). It isn't such a bad idea, IW, got it?

I also like the fact how my bullets somehow vanish after being killed. Nothing like being in a gunfight, shooting someone dead on, yet my bullets do not reach them because I get killed in the split second it took for it to reach. Makes sense really, since they were going for a realistic idea. :roll:


Oh well, 2 more days until a game comes out with proper online gaming which doesn't have 9/10's of the flaws this one does.

[Requiem]

You forgot to mention the ridiculously easy sniping, to the point where there are now five times as many snipers as before and it takes absolutely no skill and is a one shot kill.

[IC Champion]

You forgot to mention the ridiculously easy sniping, to the point where there are now five times as many snipers as before and it takes absolutely no skill and is a one shot kill.

True, So True.

[Requiem]

I understand why the game is technically on top now. It's still better than Halo 3. But there are so many things that they could have done better with this game. Hopefully when CoD 6 comes around (5 will be garbage, being made by the company that made 3, in addition to being in the past again) they will have gotten things right.

If they hadn't taken so long with this patch and delivered nothing but making the game worse, they might have stood a chance on staying on top. I have a feeling another game will come along soon enough and dethrone it with no problems.

[D Mac]

3 was alright Requiem. Wasn't as good as this, but alright.

[D Mac]

also, LOL at G. :lol:

[Mr. Monday Morning]

You're right. I don't know why that post made me assume you're a cheap gamer who thinks everything should be free. :roll:

K, next time you dislike a film or something I'll assume you don't like any films at all, that would be roughly what you did there.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

<a href="http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/859/859936p1.html">IGN has videos of the 4 new maps</a>

Honestly, Killhouse looks the most interesting to me by far. The Broadcast vid didn't show inside the main bit of the building, which means it'll probably be identical to the game. Chinatown looks like a painted over District, and Creek looks like a painted over Overgrown, albeit with different terrain.

[OssMan]

**Let's do a Battle Royale Tonight** I would host if thats ok with you, please post if you are gonna do it, I dunno what time it would be, like 10 PM EST? Suggest a good time and post yr gamertag

[Blitz]

I'll participate if I'm here.

[OssMan]

Get mo people

[U-Warrior]

Sniping isn't easier, it's just that now when you put the crosshair over someone, and pull the trigger, it hits them. You still have to zoom in, hold your breath, then line the crosshairs up. And you usally only have a second to do this if they know you're there.

Sure, you can get some easy kills on stationary targets, or people running through a wide open space like morons. But to get a high kill count takes skill. There is not a single spot in the game where a sniper can't be flanked, or countered in numerous ways.

A lot of people have an ego, and want to get "revenge" kills. Especially on snipers. So they lose their common sense. For example, I just went 36-4 on crash, and then 16-0 on crossfire. Not because I'm amazing. ALthough I am well above average, these guys just kept coming at me from the same direction. I killed the same guy 3 times within 2 minutes, because he kept going to the SAME spot to counter snipe me. Those games could easily have ended with me having far less kills if they just played smart.

So, some tips for you guys getting frustrated by snipers.

1. Never try and kill a sniper from the same spot twice. If you fail the first time, he'll be keeping an eye on that spot.

2. Learn to snipe yourself. Not saying to switch your play style. But if you learn to snipe, you can pick up a sniper rifle to replace your pistol in the field, and counter snipe when applicable. This is what I do when I feel like running and gunning.

3.Use smoke. Very surprised that not many people use this. On maps that involve a lot of sniping, always equip smoke so you can get to where you want without leaving yourself open.

I usually get a good k/d ratio, but if people are using good judgement, then the above mentioned scores rarely occur. And when I play against REALLY good players, its a struggle to maintain an even k/d ratio, cause as I said, I'm good but not amazing.

DS doesn't seem to have a problem racking up 40 kills, even against really good snipers. Maybe he can come in here and give some more hints.

Some Protips, if you will.

[Requiem]

DS doesn't seem to have a problem racking up 40 kills, even against really good snipers. Maybe he can come in here and give some more hints.

Some Protips, if you will.

Ummm, DS sold his copy of CoD4 only a few days after the patch. He was bored with it, and the sniping... yes, the sniping pissed him off and made him hate what little bit of the game he still liked. So yeah.. doubt he will have many tips that don't relate to simply not playing the game as an answer.

[U-Warrior]

Who is phyxses or whatever. Thought that was DS.

[Requiem]

It is. He no longer owns CoD4. I was with him at gamestop when he sold it and put the money towards his GTA IV pre-order.

[U-Warrior]

Well regardless, it hasn't made it less fun for me in the least. If a sniper kills me, I can usually take him down on my next spawn. Or tell someone else about him.

Thats the other thing. It's pretty hard to take out snipers by yourself. Helps to have teamwork, but even if everyone has a mic, sometimes no one says anything all game. Honestly, thats the bigger annoyance to me.

[Requiem]

The thing is it never should have been that easy to be a sniper. When you got killed by a sniper over and over before the patch, you knew the guy was good. It wasn't impossible to kill people.. it was just hard. You could watch the kill cam and you knew that was a damn good shot.

Now, you can watch kill cams and people aren't even trying it seems. I watched 3 different kill cams in one game the last time I played and all by the same guy.. He was standing in 1, and all 3 of them were while I was running. He did a swoop across from side to side and took a breath while still moving the gun and fired. Reticle just barely landed on me, while he was moving it still. One shot, dead. No headshot. Just dead.

Complete bull shit. Stupid shots like that happened all day, and this one shot kill crap is BS. I don't care if it is 'realistic'. With as easy as it is to just point and shoot with the sniper rifles now, it should not be one shot kill. Like I said before, there is no leading a target. The bullet hits where your reticle is instantly. It's stupid.

Screw CoD4. Had a chance to be amazing with this patch, and blew it. Can't wait to play me some R6 Vegas 2.

[Blitz]

All the times I've sniped, even using the 50 cal, I don't think I've ever killed anyone in one shot.

[OssMan]

I have used a 50 cal with stopping power and hit someone in the chest and it didn't kill them in one shot. And I dunno why everyone keeps saying the patch changed how that they get hit wherever the crosshairs are, because there have been many times where I had them right over a dude's body while he was stationary and shot and had nothing happen

[IC Champion]

All the times I've sniped, even using the 50 cal, I don't think I've ever killed anyone in one shot.

Shit happens to me everyday, pisses you off after a while.

[U-Warrior]

prolly lag. You said you couldn't even play smash bros. right?

Sounds like your connection isn't too good.

[D Mac]

From IGN.com about the new maps:

Along with these four maps gamers will also get a retooled playlist. New additions include Variety Pack Team Deathmatch and Variety Pack Team Objective which will be the two playlists to have the new maps and only the new maps available. The rest of the modes will rotate the new maps the same as if they were among the originals.

[U-Warrior]

So I just bought COD 2 for 20 bucks, and holy shitt. They should remake some of the maps from that game, for COD 4.

[Blitz]

Besides the one they're already remaking?

[D Mac]

New maps will cost 800 ms points.

[U-Warrior]

Besides the one they're already remaking?

Yes. I know about the carentan remake, but there are a ton more here that would be awesome in COD 4.

[U-Warrior]

New maps will cost 800 ms points.

And?

[D Mac]

And? what

just informing

[U-Warrior]

Oh. My bad.

Thought that was common knowledge, and you were just being an ass about paying for maps.

Its a good thing you weren't, or I would have had to smite you, with my pet woodpecker of justice.

[D Mac]

I got 2500 points to play with so i'm good. :y:

[U-Warrior]

Too much shit I want to buy off live atm.

Boston Pack, possibly next week's pack, COD 4 maps, 2 COD 2 map packs, Assault Heroes(won an LIVE arcade award for best game or something)

[OssMan]

17-0 on OverProne!!!

[D Mac]

A new site just sprung up on Xbox.com announcing the Call of Duty 4 variety map pack will arrive Thursday, April 3 for 800 MS points (US$10). The pack includes four new maps: Creek, Broadcast, Chinatown and Killhouse. The page also confirmed that Call of Duty 4 Game of the Year Edition is also coming April 3. No word yet on the equivalent PS3 release, for either GOTY or the map pack. We'll update when we find out.

[U-Warrior]

Gameradar reviewed the maps, and said killhouse is nothing special, but the other three are amazing.

[OssMan]

wtfffffff where are the maps

[OssMan]

April 3rd right

Not in marketplace

[Blitz]

There are a whole bunch of rumours that they're delayed to April 10th, but http://iamfourzerotwo.com/, which is a blog run by a dude who works for Infinity Ward, says the maps will be out tonight or early Friday morning.

[D Mac]

They'd better be. :mad:

[U-Warrior]

April 10th is when the new maps will be available for the GOTY edition. They don't come with the game, the game comes with a code to get them for free.

I read yesaterday that they wouldn't be avilable til late tonight.

[D Mac]

2:00 am here april 4 and still no maps. :mad:

[D Mac]

Also, this better not be the only new maps they come out with.

[Blitz]

Shit is usually put up in the very early morning hours on XBL. Around 5AM or so. I bet they'll be up by the time you get up tomorrow.

[D Mac]

Yeah I read that one website you posted and it said 6:30 PST.

[U-Warrior]

Also, this better not be the only new maps they come out with.

COD 2 came out with 3 map packs, so I doubt it.

[D Mac]

Just downloaded the new maps. Will try after work.

[U-Warrior]

Wow, broadcast and creek are HUGE. Chinatown is awesome but I knew that already since its a remake of an awesome cod 2 map. Havn't played killhouse in amatch, but I explored it on my own, and it looks fun.

Creek is great for objective games, but might be too big for deathmatch.

[OssMan]

There is an update needed to continue playing, would you like to install it, yes, error, try again, disconnected from xbox live, try again, error, menu, new Download Maps option, information not available. They blew this big time

[El Fangel]

A few questions for you guys, Im considering getting a PS3 and COD4

1) How much does it cost to play online? If monthly how much

2) who here plays COD on PS3?

[U-Warrior]

1) Gold membership is 50 dollars for the year.

2) Probably no one. I have a ps3, but anything multiplatform that includes multiplayer is xbox all the way.

No problems here.

[El Fangel]

2) Probably no one. I have a ps3, but anything multiplatform that includes multiplayer is xbox all the way.



1) Is that a one shot deal? Is it only Gold Membership for COD4 or all online games? (Newbie to online games BTW)

2) I dont want my ring to be red (again)

[U-Warrior]

One shot 50 dollars for the year for all online games, yes. ALthough you still have to pay seperately for downloadable content.

Newer models of 360's are much better. If you sent yours in, they may have replaced some of the old hardware.

[OssMan]

Took me 20 minutes to download the maps after tons of "incorrect information" or something

[ClockShot]

When my bro was playing this morning he had the same problem. After about 3-4 tries it finally took and updated. But he didn't grab the maps.

If anything, it's just mad heavy on the servers of people wanting to get in on this.

[Blitz]

Played the maps briefly this morning, will play later tonight more. I like Chinatown the best. Got fucking slaughtered by all the snipers on Creek. Haven't really formed an opinion on Broadcast. Didn't do Killhouse yet, but I did a quick run through by myself in a private match, and it looks like it'll be intense.

[El Fangel]

What you have Blitz? Ps3 or Halo360Box?

[Blitz]

Xbox.

[U-Warrior]

Yeah, havn't been able to get killhouse yet. wtf is the deal with that?

Was ruthless on search and destroy, on broadcast and chinatown.

[Blitz]

Killhouse is only on Team Tactical and Cage Match, right now. I dunno if it will ever be on TDM, prolly just Free For All when they go to all playlists next week.

[LoDownM]

1: For PS3 it's free.
2: I do, but not often since I got Assassin's Creed

[OssMan]

Assassin's Creed shouldn't take you more than 2 weeks to beat

[D Mac]

Ps3 sucks

[OssMan]

Our UAV is Crossrine

[G]

Maps are awesome. PLayed HS&D with Assmani Toomer please. It was me and him vs 5 of their guys left. I shot Assmani cause I was planning on fragging myself, but I was out of frags. So, I ended up taking their whole team out. Went 19-3 or something. Had 4 air strikes. I'm good.

[G]

*On Creek.

[RoXer]

Don't forget, I went 0 and 6 that game. :cool:

I also spent 2 rounds looking at all the plants and birds in nightvision

[G]

psgetorangebox



Played the demo, and pretty sure I'm gonna pick it up this weekend. I like the gravity gun. :cool:

[G]

Just bought it. I'm so behind the times. :(

[U-Warrior]

lol I just bought Orange Box today too.

Still don't have Halo 3 yet. But my new roomate has it, so I'll use his

[OssMan]

I started 3rd prestige last night and I'm at level 31 now :$

[Extreme Angle]

if somebody is buying the maps let somebody recover your account and buy them off your account, that way the maps save onto their xbox and you can just recover your account back and download them from yours. Two people get the maps for the price of one...

[Disturbed316]

Which means you are a big cheat and MS will ban you.

[OssMan]

Fun Mini Games to Play in Private Match

Hide the C4

Usually played on Vacant, one person throws a C4 somewhere in the building and all the other players have to go and find it. Whoever finds it has to shoot and and subsequently becomes the next person who must HIDE THE C4

M40 No-Scope Off

Everyone brings an M40 sniper rifle with stopping power and without steady aim to the match and is not allowed to do anything but hip fire. Crazy kill-cams ensue

Skeet Shooting

You bring at least 3 people into a match, and one of them goes on top of some building or finds some sniping spot and the 2 other people have to go behind something that the sniper can't see. When the sniper says "Pull!" on the headset then one of the players has to run out from the hiding spot straight across to something else to hide behind (so you have to find a good spot to do this at). Then the next player does it, and everyone gets 10 shots. The player with the most kills wins duh

Crazy Free-For-All Thing

You need as many people as possible for this. Shipment, old school mode, headshots only, free for all. Everyone gets killed within 5 seconds of spawning pretty much but it's fun. All I did was charge up a grenade and hop around until it blew up in my hand and got mad kills like that.

[G]

That'd be pretty fun, especially the C4 one, but most of my friends do not like doing private matches on the count of not ranking.

[G]

I know Roxer would be down, so us 3 could at least do some sometime.

[ClockShot]

Just read a bit where Infinity Ward made a bid to Activision to grab the rights to Call of Duty. They really want to keep it out of Treyarch's hands before they get cracking on 5.

:y:

[Boondock Saint]

That'd be good.

[G]

Pretty sure they're already on it since it's due out in 1 year.

[Blitz]

So, is everyone's XBL fucked up when trying to play this, or is my Xbox just dying a slow death.

[U-Warrior]

Nope. Here too. Just disconnected me, and now I cant even connect to live.

Is this the day they were supposed to do the Live system update?

[Blitz]

Nah. That was the 21st. But looks like they're still having issues.

[D Mac]

I know Roxer would be down, so us 3 could at least do some sometime.

:foc:

[G]

The more people who want in, the less likely it's going to happen. Like the tournament that never took place.


But if you're gonna cry, we'll work it out. :mad:

[OssMan]

63-24 in sabotage. dayum.

[D Mac]

They need to give us a free map or something.

[Blitz]

Why.

[D Mac]

Because

[Blitz]

Seriously, what the fuck is with sniping in this game, Even with a Barret with stopping power, still need 2 or 3 shots to take down anyone unless it's a head shot. Gay.

[Requiem]

What? That is what they 'fixed' in the patch a while back. Sniping is pretty much one shot kill and is why I stopped playing this game. Dunno what you are talking about. :-\

[Blitz]

Oh I know. Seems like everyone else online has no trouble one shotting me. But for me? Can't do it.

I don't expect it to be a one shot kill if I hit someone in the leg or something, but a 50 cal with stopping power to the torso? Come on.

Also how come every time I try to join a Team Deathmatch, it dumps me in an empty room.

[D Mac]

Thinking of selling this.

[U-Warrior]

You are probably just getting unlucky, and hitting people with Juggernaut.

[Blitz]

Nope. Seeing the Juggernaut cross come up sometimes, yeah, but not that much.

[ClockShot]

I've been finding that camping at the beginning spawn is the hot strategy in games nowadays. Anybody else see this trend?

[G]

Yeah I've been seeing that in Mario Kart lately.

[OssMan]

Stopping power with an M40 or Barrett should be a one hit kill. Maybe an R700, dunno never used it. Dragunov should be 2 and M21 should be 2 or 3.

[Blitz]

So I switched over to the M4 and Woooooooooo kinda love sniping now :cool:

[OssMan]

Double XP right now. Dunno why.

[LoDownM]

Double XP weekend.

[ClockShot]

I just figured this out this morning as well.

[The Genius]

playing hardcore team deathmatch with assman right now.

[D Mac]

Haven't played this in well over 3 months.

[OssMan]

playing hardcore team deathmatch with assman right now.Ya just left that, got flippin annoying

Freakin came in the first game and destroyed everyone which lead to a thrilling victory

[The Genius]

assman and i dominated some of those search and destroy games.

[OssMan]

i rape niggas

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Whoo, free maps for the PC :o

[Blitz]

Come on let's do a TPWW Deathmatch :(

[The Genius]

organize a time blitz. i had an informal game with assman and roxer yesterday afternoon.

[OssMan]

ill set up teh game

[The Genius]

make an announcement in this thread when you wanna play. keep in mind saturday is no good for me, gonna go to the giants game and watch them get beaten down by the A's.

[OssMan]

Yo earlier today I went into the fifth prestige or whatever and got to level eight, and I just turned on the game again and I am back at level 55 of the fourth prestige with like 900 exp to go. What the hell?

[The Genius]

weird, when we were playing HQ earlier today i saw you go from level 1 to level 5 as we were playing. no idea why they demoted you like that.

[Kalyx triaD]

BTW, when I'm not playing SF4 or Halo 3 - I've been getting back into this.

[G]

BTW, ok.

[Blitz]

I've been playing nearly nonstop since Getting back into this a couple of months ago. Level 9 on my 4th Prestige.

[G]

I hit 10th 55 on 9 days of game play. I was also 2000 in the world in points, until I went away.

Some fun facts for you.

[Fignuts]

One thing WaW did right was adding rewards for prestige. Have absolutely no desire to do it in COD 4.

Finally beat GTA 4, so my time away from street fighter will prolly be in this and WaW.

[Blitz]

What's odd is that I prefer to prestige in MW over WAW. I still haven't hit level 65 in WAW and honestly don't know if I ever will. The 10 extra levels in WAW feel like a lot, feels like I'm going way too long between new perks and weapons. I feel like I level up at a pretty steady clip in MW, and there's always new stuff to play with.

[Fignuts]

Really just concerned with getting boucing bettys for my sniper class atm.

[Kalyx triaD]

I don't agree with WaW's setting. Ass backwards.

[CSL]

I never really got into online on this, fucking love the game, I'm nowhere near terrible yet I would get pretty much destroyed online. Is it just most people are better than me/more used to it or am I missing something? I wanna play some variety of team game and not die every time I breathe

[Kalyx triaD]

Watch your movements. This game is about strategic camping and positioning. Find a good spot, and shoot those looking for a good spot.

[Requiem]

What? You don't have to camp to be good. That is dumb, and campers are pieces of shit. I kept moving most of the time in this game and destroyed.

[Kalyx triaD]

What? You don't have to camp to be good. That is dumb, and campers are pieces of shit. I kept moving most of the time in this game and destroyed.

My high-kill games were games where I only moved to find a new position to hold and proxy-frag. Going with personal experience.

Camping for some silly reason has negative connotations so I'll just say 'strategic positioning'.

[Requiem]

Because camping doesn't take skill. Half the kills you get from camping are from behind as people run by you somewhere. That's the point of camping..

It's lame, and there's a -reason- it has negative connotation.

If you're good, you don't need to camp. The ONLY time camping becomes a legitimate tactic is in a team-based OBJECTIVE game. Because then, you're supposed to be more worried about the objective than you are with your kill/death ratio. If you're meant to defend an area, then by all means, defend that area. But in kill-based games, camping is stupid.

[Disturbed316]

I fucking hate campers, so I kill them in the head.

[Fignuts]

What are we talking about when you are talking about camping? Are you talking about staying in one little corner for most of the game? Or are you talking about running and stopping at a spot for three seconds or so, and then moving on to the next one? Because the latter is not a negative at all. It's just smart.

You have to be really good at shooters (and pretty lucky too) to make the constant movement thing work for you. And frankly, I've found that method to be kind of redundant and mindless anyway. Much more fun to play the run to cover game, imo.

[Requiem]

I am talking about sitting in a little corner for lengthy periods of time.. I am not saying you should always be out in the open. Finding cover for a few seconds is fine, and necessary to be able to survive.

But sitting in a room waiting for people to run by or something is lame.

[Fignuts]

Agreed. Although with sniping, it's kind of nessecary. Even then, a good sniper will move to a different spot after a couple kills.

[Ogen]

I never really got into online on this, fucking love the game, I'm nowhere near terrible yet I would get pretty much destroyed online. Is it just most people are better than me/more used to it or am I missing something? I wanna play some variety of team game and not die every time I breathe

Nah I am terrible at shooting games this is literally the only one I've played for more than a few gos since Goldeneye or something on the N64 and I'm good at this. Theres a much smaller learning curve than most games because its very well balanced just play around a bit once you'll get decent

[Kalyx triaD]

CoD4 is a somewhat realistic shooter. In a shootout: I want to put bullets in you, while not getting shot.

Camping is just plain smart. I've seen the complaints on Halo forums and such and I'm sorry - camping is a legit tactic. So's playing the clock, and playing against over-aggression. Learning how to clear a room properly counters a camping position but most people don't take shooters to that degree. I do.

Nobody moves as a team, clears rooms, flank positions, counter-flank opposition, relay intel, or sweep exteriors - so don't tell me how camping's lame when it's the one tactic in these shooting games that's easiest to counter as oppose to advance team gunplay strats. I don't wanna hear it.

[Fignuts]

No camper is going to get the kill count that a really good run-and-gun player will.

30+ kills doesn't happen while staying in one spot the whole game, unless you get really really lucky, and the other team is really really dumb.

[Kalyx triaD]

No camper is going to get the kill count that a really good run-and-gun player will.

30+ kills doesn't happen while staying in one spot the whole game, unless you get really really lucky, and the other team is really really dumb.

Who says to stay in the same spot the whole time? Unless the other is really that stupid, then yeah, why move at all. lol

I'm just saying playing smart shouldn't get such a bad vibe. My mini-rant was aimed at those who detour camping as a punk-move. Sick of hearing it. Whether it wins matches is another argument, but it's a legit, smart tactic.

[Fignuts]

Me and Req already established that what you are talking about isn't camping, just smart play. The "stay in one spot all game" type of campers are the ones people bitch about. Even then, there is no point bitching about it because as I said, campers don't get a lot of kills against even average skilled players.

[Kalyx triaD]

Are definitions differ then. I don't mind.

[Fignuts]

Indeed. Cheerio, cheerio my good man.

[Blitz]

Let's do a TPWW match.

[Kalyx triaD]

When? Hopefully we can all connect.

[Blitz]

Whenevs

[Kalyx triaD]

We're plot something for this weekend.

[Khuntry]

I seriously need to get on this shit

[Kalyx triaD]

Still prefer Multicolored Strip 5+1.
