Title: CALL OF DUTY 4
Post by: Masabi on January 30, 2008, 02:34:31 AM
Who here plays COD4?!  I'm sure someone does considering it's the most played game on Xbox Live right now. 

If you guys want to add me we can play sometime, my username on XBL is "winter twilight"

I played it - I don't play games online though. It was a pretty solid game - I find it has less replay value than CoD2, but it was good while it lasted.

I freaking love COD4!! Online in Lvl37 last time I checked. Weapon of choice is probably the M4 Carbine or the MP5. Naturally playing with a sniper rifle takes a great degree of skill due to the fast paced nature of most of the game modes and it's not as easy without a mouse. Favourite moment may have to be whilst I was in the Last Stand mode, a player in the building above me was trying to shoot me through the wall but couldn't. He lined up for a better shot, but the same applies to me so for all of his wasted bullets, I picked him off with 1 shot to the head. Other magic moment was when in overtime in Search and Destroy, on the defense and the bomb was planted. Me and another teammate went to the site and he got picked off by the site camper. Being the Last Man Standing (and earning the reward for it) I threw a stun grenade and went around to killing him before defusing the bomb in time (earning the 'Hero' award). Love it, best multiplayer game I've ever played and the deepest with more weapons, camos and challenges to earn. Make sure to add me! My Live ID is Tuffty88.

Single player is incredible as well. Still playing through it on the first go and there's so many epic moments. If the success of the first Call Of Duty was responsible for the worn out WWII genre, I hope the next fad is creating moments in games that make you say 'HOLY SHIT' every 15 mins.

I used to play.. And alot. :( I was totally überactive when the beta came. Then, once the retail was out I like totally stopped playing for some reason. I think it was coz there were alot of other awesome games coming out then. But really I should pick up playin it again, it just sucks being so far behind.

OK I added you tuffty.  The most nerve wracking times for me are on Search and Destroy and I'm the last person left.  It's really bad!  I'm not really that good of a player so leaving it up to me is kind of a bad idea, lol.  I like all the sub machine guns the best (currently working on skorpion, second prestige, i haven't played long), but I also like the single-fire assault rifles.

I don't know how the snipers are on the computer but for the xbox they're really inaccurate for some reason.  They said they were going to patch it thankfully.  Also connections seem to SUCK, people lag out all the time, and people don't have the power to host 16-person-matches so they're constantly lagging.  That's another thing they said they were going to fix.

I played 1P a few times and it really does have a great campaign.  It really gets you emotionally involved which is really rare now a days.

COD4 is great
=D

also a fan of the SMG's (go mp5!) and the M16

I am max level, but for some reason I still like the starter guns
hohohoh

I play for PC too, unfortunately, so I cant shoot it up with you console-freaks

After trying to complete one of the sniper challenges, I've made a vow. To never use a sniper rifle in multiplayer AGAIN. At least until some connection problems and this inaccuracy problem is hopefully patched. As an example I fix my sights on a guy, shoot and completely misses which he then spots and kills me easily. Anyone that can use a sniper rifle effectively on the xbox, well, I have to say my hat's off to you mate, cause I'm simply not that skilled a player.

And it's fun playing with you Masabi! :) Those guys on Fri night were campers, I was really hoping to just find their spot and unload an RPG round on them. :P Sorry for not having a headset, it's just not something I see myself very frequently, which is why I've never really bought one.

Dont snipe with the ACOG scope, apparently it decreases ur range.

I dont know about PC but for the PS3, they fixed the sniping aiming crap on the 50. cal
Title: Re: CALL OF DUTY 4
Post by: Tuffty on February 05, 2008, 11:17:22 AM
I can't even get 100 kills on any rifle to get the ACOG scope :( Closest one is around 48 with the M40.

And I don't know why it is but my connection always sucks when I'm playing against Masabi! If it was ok, I'd put up a much better challenge against you guys last night! XD

call of duty 4 is a great game. i havent been able to play online in awhile cause of school. its a fun game though.

ACOG decreases accuracy, but increases range
(your bullets dmg dont decrease damage as quickly if you are shooting at someone far away)

it also sucks for using on sniper rifles
=p

Yeah they said in a press release that the sniper's accuracy was going to be fixed, haha.  My boyfriend Dale (which was playing with us) plays as the sniper exclusively and has finished all the challenges as it.  I just wanted to say.. "HOW!?"  Lol.

Yeah, they were campers but whatever.  The only way to win on Bog if you get the "bad side" (the one nearest the building, right side of the map) is to take the "good side" back, and when people camp the "good side" it makes it extremely difficult.  I was surprised at your skill level though XD

edit: Let's play together again really soon... I like playing with my friends and it's rare to see someone from JPHIP on xbox.

Despite me saying I wouldn't, I did use a sniper rifle again, and actually got a number of decent kills, including headshots. Might have to do with the the players though as I was owning them all beforehand with the Mini-Uzi (weakest weapon in the game IMO and only using it to get the 150 kills with it). And I picked up the sniper rifle because I ran out of bullets, so I set myself up nicely amongst some grass (this was in Bog btw) and made the kills, even beating the Invisible I challenge, which is something I thought I could not do. :D

Another particularly sweet moment came today in Overgrown. Two guys inside one of the abondoned buildings giving me grief, was going to use an RPG but found out my class had C4 instead. So I planted it in one of the doorways, I see them come out and BANG, 3 guys down and beating the Multi-C4 challenge as well :D This game is so awesome.

so cod5 is supposed to come out this year. how can they make the game better? its awesome already.

Post by: Asmodai on February 17, 2008, 07:22:14 AM
CoD5 is supposedly being done by the team that did 3 rather than the much better 2 and 4. I'm not holding out high hopes for it.
Title: Re: CALL OF DUTY 4

oh ok. that sucks. oh well...COD4 will hold me off for awhile still. i dont need a new COD this year.

There's lots of other good FPS games in the pipeline, so it should be a good year for shooter fans anyway.

Post by: Kamui on February 18, 2008, 05:07:49 PM
I'm addicted to COD4 (for the PS3).

I usually stick with the M4 Carbine and the MP5, but occasionaly do Snipe. Oddly enough the ACOG actually helped my sniping. Can't stand playing on Pipeline and love Vacant. Probably the only sweet moment I can remember right now was in Vacant f at the very start of the match on the outside, near the tanker truck I jumped up and shot an RPG into the building  which took out half a team and completed that challenge.

Anyone know a good way to complete the Airborne kill challenge? I can't even seem to kill one person while I'm airborne, let alone two.

The only problem I have is of course the occasional lag everyone experiences. I heard the guys making COD5 intend to return to WWII.

Has anyone gone ahead and done Prestige Mode? I've hesitated from doing it just because I dont know if its really worth the trouble or not.

Well after 2 months I've finally completed the single player campaign! I hear fans saying it's too short and only lasts a couple of hours and it probably does on the easiest difficulty setting. But when you play on Hardened and have other games to occupy you, well it definately expands the game somewhat. And I imagine a number of these fans ploughed throught it from start to finish, but why would you. Seems pointless.

But the single player campaign was awesome!! The best I've ever gone through, it's highly recommended. And on the multiplayer side of things, I got 100 kills with the R700 Sniper Rifle, and currently with 27 head shots! :o Never ever thought I could do it :lol:

I agree with the single player game. At first I thought it was too short, looking back through it's probably better to have 10 hours of awesome packed into 10 hours of game rather than 10 hours of awesome packed into 40 hours of game.

The patch has been released for the 360 version! Worth it alone for the new host system. I was in a situation where a host quit the match prematurely, it returned out to the Lobby menu and another match resumed in 10 secs. The new grenade and claymore cams are awesome. Would love to see the new air strike cam, even if it does mean I have to get killed in one :lol:

Glad they fixed the game hosting. Now if they could only put an actual Clan Roster, Clan Invitiation system, and Clan vs Clan game mode in.

Post by: Tuffty on March 12, 2008, 09:59:11 PM
I had my first bout of online 'l33tism' just recently. All started by entering into a Free-for-all with the score already at 50. I went on to win that match, and every other following match XD. It was my greatest ever performance and felt especially proud of some kills (think Grenade launcher and car, and you have an idea of one of my best kills). Needless to say, not everyone felt that way, one in particular, Ownedmonkey or something like that, made it very clear that I was a bastard and did all sorts of things with my genitals. It was quite funny actually because I don't have a headset, but even without one, the best way to deal with people like that is to just kill them over and over. Even got to the point where he thought I was cheating and was trying to convince others that I was. One hilarious rant was that 'he knew where I was'. What? Isn't that the point in a Free-for-all? And surely with the UAV it makes it that much easier to find anyone, anywhere. I can't help it if it was you again. And what with Killcam, it means you can see exactly what I did at the time to kill you, shouldn't really be that complicated. Still didn't stop him from continuing.

Anyway, rant over. At Rank 52 at the min, really like the new assault rifle, I could see me using it quite a bit actually, although my fav weapon is still either the M4 Carbine with ACOG or MP5 with red dot. Unstoppable with them. :D Also trying to beat the Mile High club mission on Veteran, but it's damn near impossible.
Title: Re: CALL OF DUTY 4
Post by: Tuffty on March 17, 2008, 03:15:57 PM
AH NO! I was playing single player on Veteran last night and I got a Disc Unreadable error message propping up! I look at the back and there's some visable scratches on the disc! And I'm always so careful with my games :( Multiplayer seems ok though so I think until it gets to the point of beyond repair then I'll have to fix it somehow. What do I do with a case like this though? Purchase an entierely new game or is there a way for my current disc to be fixed at all?

wow, that was great. I loved the empty handgun part.

I wish they'd hurry up with the new multiplayer maps, I'm getting anxious since I heard there's going to be a chinatown one and a sniper one as well. I'd like the patch for the PS3 to come out already too, mostly to fix some of the sniping issues.
Title: Re: CALL OF DUTY 4
Post by: Tuffty on March 19, 2008, 03:52:33 PM
:lol: Awesome song. But they guy has almost wayyy too much time on his hands :lol:

The new chinatown map is a remake of the Carentan one from COD2 apparently. Never played it myself so I don't know what to expect. The Euro release of the PS3 patch is out tonight:

I dont really remember COD2 much but thats fine I guess. I didn't realize the US Patch was out already, must have missed it due to spring break. Well thats good, I guess I'll try to get some gaming in today amidst projects.

hopefully they did add the ability to mute players. I wonder how much the added maps will cost.

Ugh I just met the biggest assholes ever over Live tonight. I knew it was going to be trouble when their clan tag was [KKK] :roll: Basically anytime I killed any one of them I was immediately sworn at and labelled a cheat. I supposedly had an automatic G3 rifle when really, I just pressed the right trigger a lot. XD So I decided to switch things up and used the AK. Still not good enough for them. And it wasn't just me anyone that killed them was verbally abused. I wasted no time in giving them negative feedback.

I never ever ever want to become that type of player. Where you are immediately cynical of everyone and anyone and you can't even tolerate dying now and again (or usually in my case, every so often XD) It's like saying "HEY! YOU'RE USING A GUN TO KILL ME!?!? THAT'S A-CHEATIN'!!!" :lol:
Title: Re: CALL OF DUTY 4
Post by: Kamui on April 03, 2008, 02:04:10 AM
Yeah I played some real jerks today too, I don't know how old they were but they were disgusting.

But on the other hand, I also got teamed up on by two enemy snipers which I never expected. I know I made them mad cause I got off a few head shots on them consecutively with my Barrett and I understand getting revenge but it was kinda off-putting that people would specifically gang up like that. Though I guess its all part of the game, not that big a deal, it was still fun and I do enjoy looking for enemy snipers anyway..

I don't know how it is on the other consoles but it would be nice if people on the PS3 actually used the headsets to relay useful information to the rest of the team.


Edit: I saw the video regarding the new maps, they look pretty good. I know they promised a sniper map but I hope its not the one I saw, it looked a bit small I think. The cabin one and the city one looks great for Rambo-ing.

I didn't go through the Prestiges. Other than rank i don't see the point so i chose not to. I hope they patch the PS3 too. I'm tired of players leaving when they are the Host. Also, what can they do about team killers? I play alot of Hardcore Search & Destroy and i'd say about every other game, someone trys to spoil it by team killing. Maybe a negative score limit? And you get kicked out. I know the voting system wouldn't work, especially if you were in a room full of the same clan members. You'd get voted for no reason.

thats odd, are you sure you're choosing the Variety Map pack mode? They added like 3 new game play modes that are just for the new maps. The new maps will be added to the regular game rotations this week.

But yea I know how you feel, my friends who have the game all have it for the 360 instead.

For a second there I was was going to say I see you guys all the time but it must be another TUFF Clan running around on the PS3 servers then.

I switched my main gun now from the M4 to the G3. I got bored with using the M4 all the time, and I got fed up with its accuracy too. I can't decide on my perks though. I've always had Stopping Power and Deeper Bullet along with 3xFrag equipped but I need to find other good combinations. Its just that I usually equip whatever and adapt to my limitations or whatnot.

I keep switching between the Barret .50 and the M21 since I just cant find which of the two suits me best. It just annoys me when I take a shot with a sniper rifle and the game decides to not detect it as a hit. Also working on my perks for sniping as well.
