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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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


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.


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.


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.

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.

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.

IGN has videos of the 4 new maps

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

From IGN.com about the new maps:

Quote:
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.
