I guess we are the only ones that do.

BTW, what's your accuracy %? xD

About 15%.

Oh, ew. I will definitely not be doing Prestige for some little 3x3 pixel icon next to my name.

And personally i love the M60, precisely because it's huge. Feels so powerful. It's the only gun i can stand using the iron sights with, because it's pretty accurate, not vague like on the SMGs.

Its more about having fun leveling up again. I am going to try it tonight, the badge does not bother me.

[Edit] 1st prestige

And why does no-one else ever run out of bullets?

Are you talking about the clip running out or actually running out of all ammo for a gun?

I usually try to reload after most kills unless there is somone around else around me, its just nice to know that I may go around a corner and have more than 3 bullets in the clip and then getting blown away. I have however been caught reloading mid-battlefield and the whole company opens up on me.

For the latter, I actually run out of ammo alot too, because I mostly use the M4 which has a high-rate of fire but a slightly lower accuracy I feel like I am using more bullets in the long run (not just for one person). And because I reload alot, I commonly search the ground for a new weapon (I actually leveled up the AK-74u like that).

I was never arguing that Beerz is a better player, or has better stats, I was just pointing out that Beerz is actually a statistically worse player, but is ranked higher because there are so many less PS3 players.

Yeah DP I see a little clearer now what you were trying to say. I guess from my perspective absolute ranking (ie solely how close you are to #1) is just not very meaningful without the context of the total number of players. But you are correct in noting that if someone just glances at that absolute ranking without thinking it through they could easily get the wrong impression that player x on the ps3 must be better than player y on the 360.

Anyhoo... hmmm now I'm wondering if a bunch of us (well at least those of us that are FPS challenged) surrounded GT online, like 10 to 1, if it would just end up looking like the Burly Brawl scene from Matrix Revolutions (or whatever the 2nd movie was called) with our digital representations just flying around all over the place like popcorn popping

I was going to ask if you pick a weapon up off of the ground, and you get some kills with it, does it count towards the challenges? But if what you say is true, than I guess it does. Thats cool.

Notice you can also always switch your pistol immidiately for some other "found" gun - which gives you Overkill perk with two button-press long before reaching level 40 (or whichever).

I mean completely out. I always pick up any stray "heavier" weapons to replace my pistol, but even so I've completely run out loads of times. I ran out after 7 kills at District in "that" building, and considering it almost always takes me 5 hits to down anyone, that's still not a bad accuracy. How anyone gets to 15+ kills in a row baffles me (though given that they can take me down in 2 shots at most, not really).

More like the World of Warcraft episode of South Park.

 

[Stevisiov]

I just invited a friend of mine to join the forum, so he can be part of the GTP clan, he has just bought COD4 for his PS3, We shall see if he joins. He also happens to be a GT fan.

 

[Famine]

Apparently, I became really good overnight.

I've been taking people down from range with a silenced handgun and single M16 bursts. And I got a chain of 12 and two successive rounds in which I called in an airstrike...

Nice 👍

Apprently i have become crap overnight, it might be the stella but I have just had a really crap run.

IW increased the size of the hit-box (it's the area within which it detects a hit).
Basically, makes spraying bullets with lousy aiming a more effective way of killing...

Also explains why I've been getting killed by snipers who missed the shots, very much visible on the KillCam, where I clearly see him shooting 10 or 15 centimeters above or next to my head and counting as a headshot...


Another thing I've noticed, as well as many other players that are complaining about it on the official CoD forums, is that the hit detection seems to have been screwed up in the process on some weapons, but the most visible case is the M14, that is now just an extremely good looking toy that gets you killed.
I've recently re-re-re-unlocked it, and I totally support the complaints; most of your shots are not considered hits, even on matches without lag, perfect aim (RDS) and even up-close shots go through the target undetected.

Weird. Sounds like too many players are experiencing hit detection issues for it to be simply a coincidence. Makes one wonder why IW decided to intentionally make changes. OR why they couldn't/didn't anticipate some specific server side upgrade/change would create this kind of effect. They're pretty lucky that in general the game is so damn good or they might have lost any number of current and potential customers over these problems.

I don't know if it is related or not, but I have my own online gripe. Recently I was using the AK74 with RDS on Ambush. And on two different occasions I had a tango perfectly sighted only to have every round NOT hit. Initially I was baffled until I saw the kill cam. In each case I was shooting from partial cover, once behind the tank and the other looking over a berm, and in both cases the kill cam showed the rounds actually hitting the very top of the tank and berm. Once again, from my vantage point I was sighting clearly above the tank and berm, but apparently that wasn't true from the "server's perspective." Anyone have this problem or similar?

 

[Mr P]

I've been getting slaughtered all night basically with the odd exception here and there! ... I seem to end up against these clans of prestige juggers and killing them is becoming a ridiculous waste of ammo this one guy must have had supermans jugger on bloomin putting me off when they dont die with a full clip in the torso 👎

 

[Mr P]

Well this is just mad I just played a few games nice and early and gods truth there was a guy on the opposing team called 'SODJOU' ( remember that name incase he ends up against you ) he was blurring across the map on each battle we had and nobody killed him once even though I put so many bullets in him it would have killed a bloody T-REX, I even stabbed him on a few occasions with no effect .. I can defo say that this is the first 100% guaranteed hacker I have seen on this game since playing it!

I thought it was only the PC version that could be hacked but i was wrong ... seriously this guy was moving in quick bursts of about 25 feet at a time like a bloody rocket ( if anyone has seen Blade and remembers the way that Steven Dorrfs character moves when he is fighting blade as the blood god then you will know what I mean ) This was no lag or server error thats a fact! unkillable and unbelievably fast

So much for the PS3 being the safest platform from hackers yeah right! probably one of the first of many to ruin a great game 👎

 

[Stevisiov]

Is it alright if I invite my friend to GTP matches, I have yet to play him, but he won't be much of a noob (I hope).

You can pick up ammo out of other people's guns. That, or just dump your primary and pick up another gun.

I never dump my pistol because I use it for last stand.

Also, guys, I'm sorry I haven't been playing much. College work doesn't agree with video games.

 

[Stevisiov]

I have played terrible recently, perhaps its because I am trying to complete the challenges for all weaponry (except snipers) so I am still on the first weapons you unlock trying to level them up.

 

[Giancarlo]

I had to go back to that damn pea-shooter M4; i maxed out all the other Marksman challenges. Except the sniper rifles of course, because i'm not a good sniper. I play like Rambo.

That's why my k/d ratio is something bad like .70, but who cares anyway - life is too short to stress over stuff like that.

 

[Beerz]

Mr P - Mate, that's really freaky... I hope it's just that one guy and I never play against him.


Omnis - As long as you have your priorities straight, that's what matters. 👍
And if I start with the M16, I try to pick up a nice and light full-auto (G36C, MP5, Skorpion, AK-74u...) as soon as possible, switching for the pistol.
Also, even if you 'dump' yours, you'll always have another magically appear for Last Stand. Right?...

I have played terrible recently

Welcome to the club, mate!
Seriously, I don't know what's wrong, but I rarely go above 20 kills now, and I'm also dying more than I used to.
One thing I've been noticing, related to what I wrote about the hit-box: I'm getting wasted many more times by the 'spray&pray' people...


icelt - Never had it happening like that, but strange stuf is always bound to happen. Too bad it usually harms me and not the others.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

RPD w/ Deep Impact?

I found that to be a pretty good combo.

New update post today by 402 at the official forum. Basically more good news balanced out by more waiting.
http://www.infinityward.com/community/forum/index.php?topic=10573.msg122064#msg122064

Hey Everyone --

I wanted to give you the heads up on another small playlist changing coming to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare since the most recent playlist update. We've been listening to a lot of feedback based on the last changes and it seems an overwhelming amount of players think the new Free-For-All score limit is a bit too low, so we're going to be adjusting it a bit and raising it to 125 score limit instead of 100.

Thanks for all your feedback on this, community involvement is extremely helpful as we continue to improve multiplayer and work on future updates for the game.

Patch Updates:

Update 2: Sorry this is taking so long guys, the EU Connectivity Patch is still going through testing, it had to come back to studio for some changes and testing. We're going to be putting it through Activision QA in addition to IW QA so it gets that extra attention while we're also working on the feature patch (i.e. Recently Met Players, Mute Option, new Kill Cams). If I'm given any time frame I'll pass it along to you guys. I'm hoping it'll be here by the end of the month or within a few weeks but I haven't been given any official eta at this moment.

Feature Patch:

This is the patch which includes the Recently Met Players, Mute Option, additional Kill cams, etc for the PS3 version. Currently in development and testing, it will be released after the EU Connectivity patch and hopefully in-line with the Xbox 360 Feature patch.

 

[Omnis]

No, I don't think you can last stand if you dump your pistol.

 

[Mr P]

I've not been able to connect to anyone who invites me or vice versa tonight? is this just an extremely unlucky night or is the server going ass over tit again?

 

[Stevisiov]

I just bought myself a headset today, which is great...except is reluctant to pair with my PS3 . I am going to check around to see why it is refusing to work, but if not then I shall be very annoyed.

 

[Beerz]

No, I don't think you can last stand if you dump your pistol.

I always assumed you could, can't really tell you why...
Anyway, if you have the Last Stand but your pistol has been switched for something else, make sure you always fall within reach of one you can grab.

I've not been able to connect to anyone who invites me or vice versa tonight? is this just an extremely unlucky night or is the server going ass over tit again?

Yeah, last time I was able to play with GTP members was a few days ago. Since then, I send the invites but no show, or I accept the invites but server something something or unable something something shows up and can't join.


Stevisiov - Great to hear that, mate! Hope we can play/chat together soon.


Wow, it's like a small flasback!
Just did a 25-5 on Downpour and a 29-4 on Ambush, 1st with a silenced AK-74u and the other with a M60+Grip. Both with Stopping Power and Deep Impact.

 

[Stevisiov]

I will try a party to see if any of the invites are going through, if so a GTP match tonight?

 

[Beerz]

Damn, couldn't play with any of you guys tonight, except those matches with Stevisiov, before I got kicked out of the PSN when the lobby closed...
I got a few invites after that, but was unable to join everytime.


Stevisiov - what setup were you using on Bog? I seem to be sucking more there than on the other maps, where I'm sucking less...

 

[G.T]

^ On Bog I use the RPD (grip, stopping power and martydom). It's perfect since you don't have to run around much, and the range of the gun is prefect to shoot someone on the other side of the map. It tend to usually do very well on this map with this setup.

 

[Formula1Driver]

With regards to the Last-Stand, I am pretty sure that if you swap your pistol out for another primary-type weapon you can still use Last-Stand, it kind of "gives" you one to use. The only reason I am saying this is because in Split-screen games I have magically recieved handguns after switching mine for a second primary. Also it did happen to me while online when I first used the Last-Stand when I unlocked it.
