Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare

You're definitely improving. So that was you that got me on the cross? Great shooting there. 👍
And I appreciate your compliment, but I'm hardly that good. But I'm slowly getting better. Still, a few of our members here would easily mop the floor using me...

Thanks. I'm certainly finding it easier to spot people and get a bead on them quickly.

I've been having this problem from day one on the game: the knife melee.
9 out of 10 times, in a face-to-face situation, I'm the one that gets slashed. Could it be the R3 not working 100%?
It's odd, because I sometimes test it on the match and it always works fine, except when I need it for real. Am I just being too slow to press it?...

I have exactly the same issue, never yet won a face-to-face knife fight, got a few in the back, but never face on.


Regards

Scaff

magburner - invite me again. My controller stopped responding when I turned on the headset and I had to restart the PS3...

 

[Omnis]

If you're having trouble with knifing, you're probably pressing R3 too late. Don't wait for him to be next to you in order to slash him. Whip the knife out a bit earlier and then run it into him.

I know I talked to Beerzgood and we both had the same problem. Last night I went from level 53 to 55 and completed alot of challenges only to go on today and see that my rank is back at 53 and have not recieved any XP from my playing last night. Have any of you had this problem?

 

[LaBounti]

I could not even start any games when i was on. I did not ignore your imnvite Pako, I just could not join it or any games. . I'll get on again later though.

 

[Beerz]

It's really weird, not to mention frustrating. Since yesterday, I had gathered roughly 2500/3000 points, only to see I've dropped on the overall ranking...
Even today, it constantly takes points from me. I make 200, it steals 170. I make 130, it steals 180. What the hell is that?...


Pako - your voice was coming too low, I could barely hear you.
I accepted the 1st invite you sent me, but it came out saying the server was full... Hope a patch comes soon and improves the lobby things.

magburner - great games today, you're pretty good, and improving!

F1Driver - it was great talking to you (hope you understood me well). Too bad that crap with the connection happened, it was going to be an awesome game...
I waited a bit for you to invite me again but no luck.


Matches 'taste' a lot better (imo) when you're playing with at least one guy you can relate to, like a fellow GTP member, so if any of you see I'm online, don't hesitate to send invites (and at least a few, since we all know how that works), 👍

 

[Dead_Poetic]

Yea the P90 and the AK 74 are my favorite guns, however I still have like 20 levels before i get the p90.

Wow, pretty minimal recoil on this puppy too. Doesn't sound quite as sinister as the P90, but the music marketing chose is MUCH better And you gotta love the classic wooden stock.



Now this next one brings to mind another question, who'd be in favor of IW adding a reload stumble/fail feature. IE Reloading on the run = 80% chance, while stationary = 90%, while behind cover = 99%. Just a thought is all.

 

[Beerz]

That guy's a bit tardy...


I just realized not only the points I had gathered were gone, but also the challenges I had achieved in the last 24hrs.
Worse, I had improved my killing streak (from 18 to 19) and that's also gone! Aaarrgh!...


Btw, how the hell am I going to get a "2-kill streak with bullets while on mid-air"?!?

 

[Seanman]

Ok, I have a problem. I started to play online today, but whenever I get any progress in terms of advancement and challenges, when I log back in all that is reset back into Private. Strangely, though, when I reach Lance Corporal (or whatever it's called), my custom classes are still there, although the game does not recognize it until I resave it.

This is a very annoying problem if I have to start from scratch each time, especially since I already got to Level 8 and finished two challenges!

 

[Formula1Driver]

Seems like we are all having this problem with losing XP, as I said earlier I was at lvl 53 then got to 55 on friday night and when I came on Saturday afternoon I was back at 53 and had lost all the kills and challenges I had completed, I hope IW can fix this problem because even though I can do it all again I would rather just have it already done from before.

Ya Beerzgood that was fun with you and Pako but you were gone after that first game, I could understand you fine but I had to go and come back because my voice chat volume was at the bottom and had to move it to the middle to be able to hear you. When we were complaining about the stats thing all I could here was Pako laughing

I really hope they get that stat thing fixed because I got like 600 kills and moved my K/D ratio to like 1.79.

 

[Omnis]

Yay, good thing I chose this last day to not play. Anyone know if the problem is fixed?

 

[Beerz]

I wasn't gone, it kicked me out and I couldn't rejoin for a bit. That sucks, man, it happens way too many times. And I was really excited with playing a few matches with you guys, I had that 'cool, feels just right' thing going.
Anyone know if the patch is coming and when?


I'm going to play a couple of matches now to see if the stats problem is gone.

EDIT: It's still happening. I checked my stats, played (team deathmatch - got 18/6 in kills), checked my stats again... Took 80 points from the total I had before playing today, accuracy dropped from16,34 to 16,29 (!!!), and it said my total playing time is less 10min than before I've played the match.

 

[icelt]

Anyone know if the patch is coming and when?

Well I visited the official forums for IW and although I don't have the patience to read all 180+ related messages, the first post regarding the topic by the "community relations manager" states the following:

PS3 Update / Patch
Hey Everyone --

Wanted to give you guys a heads up on some updates coming to the PS3 version as well as some troubleshooting for those of you experiencing connection issues, especially those attempting to play within Dorms.

The first patch will be a Optimized Connection Patch, First the troubleshooting, those of you experiencing connection issues should check your router and make sure the following ports are OPEN:

Port:
3075 UDP
3074 UDP

This is the cause of why your Xbox 360 may work online, but your PS3 would not, as the Xbox 360 uses Port: 3074 UDP which is default open for Xbox Live compatible routers, however the PS3 version is using BOTH Port: 3075 (which is default closed for the majority of routers) and 3074 which should be default open.

Please ensure your router has 3075 UDP and 3074 open, information on how to open ports on your router should be found in your individual router's manual or website. This is a temporary solution, the optimized connection patch will fix this automatically once it's released.

Now for the Optimized Multiplayer updates, we've taken a lot of your community feedback and have been working on a patch for the PS3 version which we plan to release once complete, no ETA on when it will come out as it has to go through certification with Sony, however the update will address and add the following:

Identify party by Background Color (in Lobby)

Optimized Server selection for first match for better connections

Improved network performance for 18 player games

Optimized 'Chase Cam' when Spectating

Fixed Playlist error when attempting to join from other games

Handle Corrupt Create A Class data instead of kicking player

Added Kill cam to Airstrike bombs and Claymores

Added the ability to Mute Players on PS3

Added Recently Met Players on PS3

Tweaked the following Oldschool Mode Settings based on feedback:
- Added Unlimited Sprint
- Increased Magazine Size
- Added Ragdoll Cam

and finally, something we're working on getting into it by the time it hits you:

Addition of Host Migration so if Host Leaves auto-chooses next best host

More recent comments claim that the patch has been submitted to Sony for final approval and release. I didn't see a submission date mentioned though, so I guess it's release could be any day.

I might be a little concerned from reading the fixes that the "ranking issues" you guys, and many on the IW forums, are experiencing are not mentioned anywhere.

Now here's a fun little post I just found regarding that topic

Calm down about rank/stats not recording!!!!
Everybody needs to chill out and stop the witch hunt, Infinity Ward will know about the problem and we will hear from them monday or tuesday about a fix as i doubt they will be looking at forums on a saturday or sunday. All the little kids kicking and screaming WAA WAA WAA MY GAME DOESN'T WORK Cry its sad, is this the first time people have played online games because every online game has problems and COD 4 is no different get used to it and go back to what you were doing before COD 4 came out and give them time to fix it instead of phoning them up, e-mailing, and generally throwing abuse at a reputable company.

Oh and i forgot CHILL OUT

Anyway hope it helps some.

 

[Dead_Poetic]

Auto choosing the next best host if the host leaves!!! Thats awesome, so, they cant close the game just to get a quick win. Great!

 

[Beerz]

I agree, that was (still is) just annoying.

Hey, everyone!
Problem fixed, stats are working fine now. 👍

Now I wonder when the hell am I going to have a 19 kill streak again, not to mention I had killed 2 guys with a claymore. Probably won't happen again...

 

[Formula1Driver]

Sounds good that the stats are fixed and hopefully I can keep some of mine from yesterday, I completed the Elite Challenge of getting a 5:1 K/D ratio, I got 47 kills and 6 deaths but I doubt I will be able to keep that. Maybe see some of you guys on later tonight and can chat it up.

edit: After playing for a while, leaving to XMB and going back, the stats are working again, YAY IW!

 

[VT]

Question ... Has anyone tried playing online along with someone else on your console? I was going to play split screen with my girl online but I couldn't figure out how to get her in my party. Anyone done this or is it not available?

 

[Formula1Driver]

You can do split-screen with up to 4 people on your own console but that is not online, the online is only 1 player per console.

Thats what I was thinking .. and that is really dumb. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

If you close a game, it counts as a loss. For everyone.

 

[VT]

Addition of Host Migration so if Host Leaves auto-chooses next best host

Thank God. Its really annoying to have waited 5 to 10 minutes just to get into your first match of the night to have the host leave right when everything has loaded. Grrrr.

 

[Dead_Poetic]

If you close a game, it counts as a loss. For everyone.

I didnt know that. ok.

 

[magburner]

If you close a game, it counts as a loss. For everyone.

Are you sure Omnis? I though it was a draw...

 

[Formula1Driver]

it counts as a draw if the game is tied but sometimes the host will end the game after an early lead like 2 kills and then it will count as a win or loss depending on what team you are on.

 

[Beerz]

F1Driver's right. It happened to me too many times. Glad they're changing that. 👍

I was just having a few matches with Scaff (who's getting really good, btw), and on the Ambush map, which I don't like particularly, that "connection interrupted" thing with the flashing icon appeared again. I hope that's also addressed on the patch.
I was having a really good match, 8-2 in kills, and both teams tied at 220 or 240, so it was a major let-down...


I tried the M14 for the first time today, and probably the last.
Being a single-shot weapon, I though I could easily handle it like an M60 or RPD, in which I quick-tap the trigger to have them not recoiling much, and maintain the accuracy to a high level.
Boy, was I wrong... And it doesn't have a 'grip' accessory, so that's pretty much it for keeps. Biggest recoil on every single shot I've seen, even more than any LMG, which considering the M14 is an assault rifle isn't saying much for it.
In it's favour: looks, power (for an assault rifle) and awesome sound.

It was a fun match and a bit......



....bloody connection kicked me out a few minutes into the Ambush map, however the match on Downpour (I do like that map) was blinding fun and I managed to get a few nice kills on that one and I think matched Beerzgood score. I also passed the 150 kills with the M4 in that match, so collected a good 1,000pts and a nice new rank for it.

Shock horror I also won a knife fight in that one as well, my first, hope to get on later tonight.


Scaff

 

[Formula1Driver]

haha knife fight, why don't you just pull out your pistol and blast a couple shots into the enemies chest before he can knife you?

Hopefully you guys are on now, I think I can play for an hour or so.

 

[Pako]

I wish I was at home right now.... I would much rather being getting some skill points and weapons upgrades than being here at work.

Did anyone loose any stats over the night?

Just my thoughts on the game... And a small video of me dominating a Domination match.
