Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare

[icelt]

Picc84 - welcome. Although the online mode is addicitng as heck you should also give the offline a play through as well. There are simply some can't miss gaming moments in the story and set-ups.


Good find here, large pics of each map with good S&D notes:

how though? Wouldent that translate to like, 800-1000 points?

It depends on what type of match you are playing, in a Team Deathmatch or Ground War TDM (same but with 18 peeps) you definately can't get in the 80's because each kill is worth 10 points. But in other game types like Domination at the Shipment match, that is where alot of those high kills come from. Also most Headquarters matches at any map can produce a high amount of kills.

HQ all the way. Especially with lower ranked players who're just running back for the led over-and-over again. And Shipment, as the jewel in the crown, with LMG, stopping power, deep impact and 3x frag combo.

I feel like I'm getting a lot better now at this game The other day I got my 1st heli and managed a 12 ks with no deaths on countdown TDM.

What I am finding though is on some maps I'm thinking oh no I hate this map and then I do really well on it (really well to me is like 10 kills lol) and on the maps I like and enjoy, I get thrashed
I seem to do best on countdown,wet work, bog.

Somehow I always get slaughtered on ambush,vacant and showdown My kd ratio is naff but I have too much fun playing online to realy give a damn about the stats and stuff.

I like playing HQ the best 👍

I'm not a fan of Ambush or Countdown, but I do like Vacant, Showdown, Wet Work, Bog, Crash and District.

Really getting into HQ and HTDM matches.

 

[Stevisiov]

Ambush, crash, downpour and crossfire are my favorite maps, purely because I am good at them.

 

[Robin]

Can anyone tell me if or why there arnt any totally night time pitch black online maps... why wouldn't it be possible to have total nightvision and I swear it would be really cool as you would see everyones laser sight lines as they run around and aim, if you didn't equip with one it would be a perk.

I would be a lot of fun and total chaos...

[Stevisiov]

I have just had a real go at hardcore, its great fun. I ran an m16 (one burstkill in hardcore mode) with scilencer, claymore (very effective) UAV jammer and deep penatration. Thanks to the lack of killcam I was practically invisable most of the game, which meant the claymors didn't disappear when I died resulting in loads and loads of kills, great fun indead. I decided to go for a more tactical approach than a normal teamdeathmatch game.

 

[Giancarlo]

I just want to double check before i potentially enter Prestige...all the Marksman Challenges for all the guns reset back to 0?

 

[Formula1Driver]

Yes, all challenges and weapons are lost for good once you bring Prestige, there is no turning back.

 

[Picc84]

Than what the hell is the point! lmao

I'm doing really good now, level 19!!! I'm like, 75 points away from 20. I think for 2 days, 20 is pretty damn good... lmao

 

[G.T]

Absolutely EVERYTHING is reset in Prestige except your rank and stats, put simply.

 

[Beerz]

I just want to double check before i potentially enter Prestige...all the Marksman Challenges for all the guns reset back to 0?

Yup, everything you had unlocked goes back as when you first started.
I actually liked going through the prestiges, as it forced me to make do with what was available (not yet unlocked) making me get better with less stuf, and was also what made me use weapons I hadn't even given a chance until then, realizing they can ALL be awesome, if used properly. And depending on the situation, of course.

Speaking of which, anyone here uses the M14?
Since the servers update I find it almost useless, as the hit detection got messed up. It takes 4 or 5 shots to kill a guy, and since it can't be fired like the G3, I usually end up dying.
Before, all it took was 2 (3 at most) quick shots and I had a kill...

 

[Giancarlo]

Well in that case i might enter Prestige, because i largely used all those challenges to get up to level 55 and they will definitely come in handy to go through the different Prestige levels. And i think resetting them will give me a good excuse to run through all the weapons again.

I use the M14, Just because its the best I have and I hate the AK... I can't wait till I unlock the G36C... after that, ya'll gunna die... lmao

I havent noticed a diffrence in how many shots it takes to kill, i never end up getting good head shots anywyas, so it takes like, a whole clip all the time... lmfao

You might want to double check there, I bet your using the M4. The M14 won't be available to you until somewheres around rank 40+.

And for as much as many dislike the G36C, I've actually found myself being fairly successful with it. Although I have noticed this really only holds true when I burst fire it. If I get in a desperate situation and hold the trigger down then all but the first 4 or so rounds just go sailing off into the distance well above the head of my intended target. Good for him, bad for me

 

[Formula1Driver]

I think you would actually be surprised with how many hip-fire kills end up with headshot, I know alot of the time if I go in and hip-fire I tend to get headshots. You may also want to consider either the M4 or M16, both are fairly good rifles and I swear by the M4.

On the G36, I thought it was going to be alot of fun for online because it is so good in single-player but I find that in online it is just too weak and not accurate enough for me. I like using it because it is a cool gun but not to get alot of kills.

 

[Stevisiov]

I have been trying to level up the scorpian. I hate that gun, I lost 10 21 with it and keep loosing, I am going to run team deathmatch hardcore just to get my kill:death ratio up a bit.

I've been doing exactly the same thing, but I don't mind the Scorpion that much at all. On the right map (Vacant and Countdown to name two) I've found it quite handy. I've been quite surprised at the effective range on it (I've put people down when they have been over by the containers in Vacant when I have been in that little gap you respawn in.

My main issue with it is even with stopping power you need a good half a clip unless you get a head-shot, which means ammo for it runs out fast. I had a great match on Vacant, but on more than one occasion I had to switch to the DE when I ran out of ammo.

BTW - I did accept your invite, but had no joy getting into the matches.

Scaff

 

[Beerz]

Stevisiov - I was actually using a silenced Skorpion on our matches tonight. On Downpour I ended up with a 21-6.

Scaff is right about the range. I use the Skorpion a lot and despite what the stats say, even with a silencer, you can kill people from across the map on Countdown because the recoil is basically nonexistent.
I always use it with the silencer, Bandolier, Stopping Power and Deep Impact/Steady Aim (depending on the map).

 

[Formula1Driver]

Got a 97-23 K/D on HQ Shipment today, I was really trying to get over 100 but I slowed down like halfway through and didn't really pick it back up untill the final 2 minutes.

I am good to play tonight, I wrote my Physics exam this morning and dont need to start studying for my Math or Chemistry for a day or two. So any North American players, I am good to go for tonight.

 

[Matt R]

I starting to fall in love with the G3. It is a weapon of preference on HTDM for sure. I've started using it as my primary weapon in TD and I've got to say, I should have used this fun gun sooner. Nothing beats expending one shot to a guys head in a window from 50 yards out. 👍

 

[Beerz]

Matt R - Cool, another G3 lover! 👍

F1Driver - Man, this patch waiting is seriously pissing me off, looking forward to play with you again.
Also, can't wait for all of us to get together for some EU vs US matches.
Of course, you'd be just spectating, so it could stay balanced...
You're still using the M4+ACOG? You were awesome with that combo when we played together. 👍


On HTDM, has anyone tried the M14? Hit detection with it seems a lot better on Hardcore mode, and it's usually a 1 shot kill, even on the gut. limbs still take 2 shots, but no biggie. I love it on some maps.
On the rest, I use a silenced MP5.
Any of these weapons WITHOUT Stopping Power, just the UAV Jammer. Still, M14 is a 1 shot kill, and the MP5 only takes a few bullets. Even at long range, firing single shots, 3 bullets give you the kill. 👍

 

[Picc84]

i LOVE HTDM! I can't stop playing it! Its so much more fun that TDM!!! And I'm still useing my m16; right now i'm just useing the 3 weapons you get in the beg. So that I can get some xp points by maxing the marksmen and expert levels or w.e/

Some info from the IW official forums:

1st regarding the pending (pending, always pending I know) euro connectivity patch this was posted today by 402:

http://www.infinityward.com/community/forum/index.php?topic=6712.msg140748#msg140748

Hey Everyone --

Alright everyone, some huge progress has been made on the Patch. There we're some bugs found during testing that had to be addressed, which sent the patch back to us at Infinity Ward to address and re-test. I'm happy to say that the fixes and re-testing has been completed and it is on the final leg of certification and release now. The patch was sent off this morning / last night back to Sony Europe for final certification.

We don't have any time line on how long it will take, although we're hoping for a quick turnaround as it's already received extensive testing. If we are provided with a timeline from the certification team, I will be sure to pass it along to you guys.

This is the last step to release, once this is finished it should be available on your Playstation 3. I will let you know when you can expect it when I know.

Thank you for all of your patience and I'm looking forward to playing with a lot more of you online in Europe when this connectivity patch comes out.

Next regarding the "feature" patch:

http://www.infinityward.com/community/forum/index.php?topic=6712.msg140961#msg140961

Quote from: thebigb59 on Today at 03:04:52 PM
"sorry fourzerotwo, thanks for the onformation. is this the same for the feature patch?"

The feature patch is still in development / testing, the PS3 Feature patch will hopefully come out around the same time as the Xbox 360 Feature patch, you guys are on the same schedule at that one, and the feature patch SHOULD release together worldwide if all goes as planned and not a separate release like the connectivity patch.

And finally regarding the map mod tools recently released for the PC:

http://www.infinityward.com/community/forum/index.php?topic=12335.msg141151#msg141151

....One more thing, design your custom maps around your platform of choice, so just because you're mapping on the PC doesn't mean your maps have to be designed for Mouse and Keyboard, if you have a cool design you think would work great on the Xbox 360 or PS3 then make it happen, the possibilities are endless on where it could end up.

Soooooo, based on this comment it looks like we can definitely (crosses thumbs) look forward to IW releasing at least some/one community developed map on the PS3. 👍 Now I suppose they could always charge for its download (just a guess as I haven't read the agreement's fine text) but that just seems like an uberly stupid thing for them to do. Can you imagine the irate posts if PS3/360 users were charged for the same/similar content PC guys get for free? Therefore I for one am gonna predict that any community developed maps released for the PS3 will be free.

Obviously what you don't see is mention of fixes/acknowledgments of the new hit detection problem (that many swear exists) or server side lag problem. Suppose all we can do is hope the "feature patch" will somehow address at least one of these, if not both.

In general hope for the best I say, then again I'm an eternal optimist.

I was using the M4 with ACOG for the longest time but after playing with the RDS I have started using that A bit more, you cannot see as far but I find it is alot more accurate and less "shaky" when doing bursts. I really want to play you and all the EU guys, we actually have quite a few GTPers on now and once we can all get together it should make it even more fun.


ICELT: nice find, hopefully this means the EU Connectivity and PS3 Features patches will be out in the next week or so, I am really getting anxious to see how the EuroTrash (JK ) at GTP play.

 

[Giancarlo]

Yeah, i think with all of us we can fill an 18-person FFA server by ourselves, quite nicely.

 

[G.T]

An enemy and friendly airstrike happened both at once on Shipment today. We must have sent in the airstrikes at exactly the same time. It was absolute carnage. :S

 

[Stevisiov]

I have just tweaked around with the settings for my scorpian's perks and just had an awesome round. 42-8 with 8 minutes left to go on sabotage. RDS plus stopping power results in many kills.

 

[Picc84]

I'm so bad at normal TDM after playing HTDM... 1 shot 1 kill, in H, but normal its seems to take forever!
