Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare

[Beerz]

Yes it was the one we were in, but I didn't even start, so I must have done well to kill 3 people, since i was picking my weaponry when the host supposedly ended the game? I didn't even start the match when it ended I have no idea what happéned.

It must've been Mr P then, he was with us too and I think it was someone with the GTP clan tag.

amar - sorry I couldn't talk to you, my headset was charging. You guys seem a pretty cool bunch of people. 👍
GPT clan tag; I thought it was a typo until you explained what it stands for.

 

[Formula1Driver]

Any NA players I think I am able to play some online tonight!

BTW What does GPT stand for?

 

[VT]

Is it just me or does it seem that no one plays online anymore? The past three nights I've been able to get into a grand total of four matches in about 2 hours of being logged in. Every time I try and find a match I end up hosting, waiting a couple minutes, and leaving because no one joins.

What gives? UT3 can't be drawing EVERYONE away, can it?

I know! Thats exactly what happens when I try to play too. It sucks.

Wow I really had my doubts but I tried for it anyway: So I made Commander and now comes the leveling all the weapons and completed challenges and yada yada yada. So I looked at my M21 skill and I had 83 kills out of 100 needed, the ACOG Scope was of course the reward and XP but that's irrelevant now. So I spent less than an hour and got few good rounds in with it and completed the challenge. So next round I figure what the hell and put the ACOG scope on it and do a round of Strike, search and destroy neutral (I don't know what gametype that is). Just wow! With it alone I got 17 kills that were both midrange and close range kills with a good amount of headshots. Now I only gave this one round of use as I'm onto leveling my Barrett. But i'm truly amazed how effected the M21 is with the ACOG. I always thought it would be the best sniper rifle to put the scope on but I just negated the thought because I figured the recoil, since it's a sniper rifle, would be horrific and unusable at mid range conflicts. But it worked anyway so... 👍

 

[Omnis]

M14 > M21

Don't even bother with ACOG for sniper rifles.

 

[Blackbird.]

I've already gotten/used the ACOG for the M14. What i'm trying to say really is the ACOG scope is not completely useless. On a map like Strike the ACOG's scope is alot more effective then the regular scope. Which yes case in point you might as well use the M14 but... I don't know I felt like I was doing better than I was with the M14 with an ACOG. I prefer the M14 with a RDS.

 

[Beerz]

I find ACOG's to ruin any weapon's accuracy. But sniper rifles with them work well as a midrange (and closer) weapon, as usually it's a 1-shot kill.
And the M14 is just fantastic, I used mine today (unlocked it yesterday night) on a match with amar (sagitarius) on Bog, and I got 20 kills even with the iron sight, which isn't very friendly. As soon as I unlock the RDS, it'll be da bomb.

That, of course, IF I get into a match; ever since my matches with amar (about 2 hrs ago), I haven't played a single one.
There's hundreds of thousand of players trying to play and the crappy servers aren't setting up matches!


amar - It was great talking to you, you're a really nice guy.


Anyone inside an ongoing match that care to invite me? Please?...

 

[Blackbird.]

I was playing a few minutes ago leveling up my mini-uzi with a silencer. I must be on crack but I swear putting the silencer on that thing backs down the recoil. But now my internet is acting up and keeps saying I need an active connection to play. But of course it's irrelevant if I can play or not because we run different systems! The M14 is a good weapon but I got tired of it after awhile, you probably will too. As far as sniper rifle one hit kill that's kind of hit or miss. I don't get the damage properties of a sniper rifle at all. With the Barrett it's disappointing. I know it's a game and it'd be unfair but in real life if I shoot the guy in the chest with a damn FIFTY CALIBER BULLET I think he should die personally. But yeah the M21 since it's semi auto is frequently a two shot kill. It's basically the M14 with a little more kick.

 

[Beerz]

Do you use Stopping Power with it? Even the M40 gets 1-kill shots with SP, even a chest shot racks you a kill.

 

[Blackbird.]

Not now but I have shot someone in the chest I swear it with SP with the .50 and it only wounded them and they kept running. Occassionaly a chest shot will put them into Last Stand as well. But rarely a kill.

My lag is terrible right now. I was watching a doorway with my Uzi saw him and almost immediately as he appeared I began firing for at least a second then he killed me. On the killcam it showed me sitting there like and idiot as he showed him self in the doorway. I love lag.

Just incase anyone is wondering whats up with the connection issues.

 

[Blackbird.]

Ah so it's not my connection! Yeah i'm getting those issues right now. They kind of come in waves. It kind of makes sense it's really early in the morning for the US at least where I live so I'm getting all the UKers or something? I don't know it'd explain the lag though.

Yeah I had a bugger of a time getting in to any games last night around 8pm CDT. Too many new players and too little servers, so it seems natural to me. I bet in a week or two everything will be smooth as silk again.

 

[Mr P]

I just went on and had 3 games back to back with no lag and everything seems fine for now anyone fancy a game now? just gimme a shout 👍

I will be joining about 8ish so keep an eye out.

You destroyed me last night with that RPD, I used a little p90 most of the time, which was a bad call. I have adjusted one of my classes so it has and RPD with a grip 👍

 

[Famine]

Sunday night and I'll be there. With a GT4 save too... Whoops.

 

[Beerz]

I'm getting a 'connection interrupted' or 'host ended game' every 2 out of 3 matches. I almost broke my hand on the little table in front of the couch, which made the beer bottle bounce and spill...


Also, Jugger people really (REALLY) annoy me. I mean, piss me off.
I equip a weapon with Stopping Power and get like 30% (if that) in increased power; these people put on the Jugger and they have AT LEAST twice the normal health!

Hmm, playing with beer definetly enhances the expreience, its cider for me tonight though. I don't even want to imagine what my kill:ratio is going to look like in the morning. Heck I lost 0.04 last night and I only had 3 cans.

So the phrase, "playing with Beerz" has 2 meanings.

I know its got a third meaning, but lets not go there...

[icelt]

Well kids I promised to never use Jugger, which I haven't, and after 18hrs gameplay I very much understand now why that perk is hated so much. It sure doesn't seem like SP and Jugger and equally balanced against each other. I know, I know, if it weren't for my crappy aiming I could just head shot'em and there you go, but obvioiusly that's a little easier said than done. If nothing else, IMHO, Jugger should carry a stiff movement penalty. That might balance it a little better.

Basically there is no way to prepare someone for a TDM on Shipment is there. Had my first go last night and it was chaos embodied And with the minimal spawn points you never know when you're gonna have someone, say armed with a shotgun, materialize 1 sec after you giving them a big old meaty target looking remarkably similar to the back of your skull. Fun kill cam watch that was

Lastly my knife timing has greatly improved 👍 Unfortunately I seem to pretty consistently aim at roughly the head height of Manute Bol. 👎

Naturally such an encounter tends to end badly for me. Doh

Edit-----
So, errrr, who else agrees that it just might be time to give CoD4 its own sub-forum? I mean good luck trying to sift through these 1040+ posts. I'd think the following topics, at least, could use their own threads:

* GTP member stat tracking/comparison
* SMG, AR, LMG, SR, SG and nade strategies/notes (1 each)
* Map strategies/notes (1 each)
* Connection quality notes
* Online meet organization thread
* Funny stories
* etc

So who is with me?

 

[Robin]

I ventured online for the first time today and oh god is it chaos!

Im used to GRAW2 which is a lot calmer and more stake out style, im very good at it... with this its like you will die if you stay anywhere!

The players on this are far more advanced and it will take a while to get used to it, im fine offline but online the controls make it a bit hard also I wish you could custom remap everything (I like the GRAW layout)...

Still, a very pretty game online!

Robin

 

[Stevisiov]

Woah, a few ciders down and the resluts are rolling in. Had 8 matches.

Bog RPD 32-7 New spree record-12

Crossfire RPD 29-3 New spree record-22

Vacant P90 28-6

Pipeline RPD 36-5 spree-22

Ambush RPD 39-2 spree-22 (possibly my best ever match)

District RPD 25-4

Overgrown G3 silenced 20-8

Downpour G3 silenced 34-4

My kill:death ratio dropped last night to 1.08 after checking.

My kill:death ratio now stands at 1.15 and my spree has gone from 11 to 22. ( got 22 in two games tonight)

not bad for me, much better than last night.

huh... thanks?...


Robin - Yeah, I saw you were online today. What game type was it and which maps? Free-for-all matches tend to be much more calm as everyone's your enemy and you can't go running around. I too prefer when the matches have a slower, more tactical pace.


icelt - I'm totally with you, especially because there's a precedent with F1:CE.
That way, each subject could be more easily discussed and more in-depth. This thread is getting too big (it grows at least one page a day) and basically all the useful info already posted is buried deep in the thread.
So, I'm all for it! 👍

EDIT: I also agree Jugger and SP should cancel each other, Jugger is set way too strong.
According to Beta testers, it wasn't like that on the Beta version. They're also complaining about it, it's borderline ridiculous...


Stevisiov - Dude, you're on a roll!

I love playing CoD a little buzzed, after 4 beers and I have a good buzz going I am so much more relaxed to play and usually turn out my best games (sometimes).

Icelt: Great idea about the sub-forum, there could definately be quite a few subjects to put in a sub-forum. I sometimes have trouble catching up on what people have posted when I get back to my computer because alot of the EU guys post almost a page in a few hours and catching up can be a bit of a pain.
