Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare

[Dragonistic]

Ok so, i posted recently about the R700, G.T knows what i mean, and i am glad to say it was just me i think, once i adjusted i find the R700 is just as good for me as my old rifle of choice, the M40A1. Ive managed to get the digital camo just now (with a sweet but lucky double headshot on Downpour from on top of the wood section next to the gun turret on the downhill side of the map. Also using the same weapon i managed my best kill streak to date at 22 kills with a combo of the R700, USP and an enemies M40A1 once i got stuck in their spawn and found myself facing 4 automatic weapons after racking up the last 7 of the spree, getting my only death of the match.

I find using Stopping Power, Claymores and Iron Lungs the best for me. Initially i thought Stopping Power was wasted on a sniper rifle, but when things get close i can still only carry my trusty pistol at my current rank (lvl 36), and the priceless perk really counts then.

My other favourite combo right now is the G3 with RDS, stopping power and claymores again and an M16 same set up for closer maps.

As you're all more experienced then me, I just wonder how these sound to you? Note: im trying to keep a high accuracy (currently ranked 41304 for that and climbing). I'm not having trouble gettings kill and such though, currently K/D ratio is 1.67 now, but there's always room for improvement, right? Sorry if i blabbered on alot.

When I use sniper that's the exact combination I use, especially Iron Lungs being a big help. You'll find sniping even easier when the patch finally comes out, since shots always seem to hit players now (making the automatic snipers very leathal). The R700 was better after the 360 patch, but still not quite right for me...

It's interesting that people use the M16 on closer maps. I suppose it's good if you want to keep your accuracy high, but you'll certainly miss out on the kills and if you are quick enough you can still get lots of hits with an MP5 or P90. I know my accuracy generally rises when I use a P90 on Shipment. You would thing it would go down but it doesn't.

 

[Dragonistic]

I actually find myself outmatching most with my M16, i usually only need one burst or two to take a guy down so if its in the situation where i and whoever see's each other, its a more then fair fight. Glad to hear we'll have a patch for snipers, although im having no trouble these days with the R700 accept the closer shots it seems to sometimes miss, and others i have a clear shot of their head and it just wont connect the bullet to their brain.

I generally dont like auto weapons, im more of a sharpshooter type, i rarely take a shot i dont believe i can make as being as cautious and conservative as i am i often survive a long amount of time. This naturally drains ammo as i slowly advance from position to position. That is until i find the position ive chosen is compromised before i can set up, which with the radar is reasonably common.

 

[Famine]

I have zero issues sniping, even with the target on the fly. I hope the patch doesn't make it too easy...

 

[Beerz]

It could never get too easy for me to be a half decent sniper, don't worry.

I was playing a HQ match at Crash last night. I had the G36 in my Assault class. After 10 minutes I was 2-3-9. I switched to Sniper and finished 11-4-9 - with just the Dragunov and not in Hardcore mode!

You guys can call me "Sarge".

4th time through!

 

[WallRunner]

I finally leveled up to 49, so I now have the Barrett 50. Cal, which I tried to use on overgrown, and actually worked well

And there were some times where I couldn't pull out my Deagle fast enough so I'd just have to shoot close range with the sniper

I unlocked the Barrett 50. Cal and it's ACOG scope in the same day.
The process was expedited by taking it to HQ at Shipment

Sometimes I think Steady Aim would be more helpful for the Sniper Rifles. There's nothing funnier than headshotting someone at point-blank with the Barrett 50. Cal. Would make quite a mess IRL

I just booted up CoD and it prompted me to download an update for it. Im not sure if its the new patch or not but im assuming so.

Edit: Yep the new killcams are officially in.

 

[Mr P]

I just booted mine up in case it was available here also ... but alas! no download here in the UK as yet unless it comes in about 5 hours time? not sure when we ill get it tbh

Lets hope it fixes everything out anyway 👍

US version rite? Yippe! I have the NA version so Il download it the next time I fire it up.... been looking forward to nade kill cams 👍

 

[WallRunner]

I keep getting download errors, guess the servers are overloaded, I'm hoping to join y'all tonight, with the ability to mute potty mouths

From,
Chris.

 

[Speedster502]

Ow...Me want download...

 

[Dead_Poetic]

I love the nade kill cams. Its just fun to see how lucky people get.

 

[WallRunner]

One thing missing, Host Migration, which is what I was looking forward to.

 

[Scaff]

I want.

On the other hand, I now have my lovely claymores back, so I'm a happy bunny.

No host migration! That was probably one of the most important things that they needed to fix.

 

[G.T]

I didn't get the patch?

 

[WallRunner]

It's not out for Europe yet, probably will be available later tonight or tomorrow.

From,
Chris.

 

[GT4 genius]

So what was included in the update?

 

[icelt]

Edit---- Very lost indeed

 

[Formula1Driver]

Icelt did you get lost?

 

[ceiling_fan]

I won three FFA's in a row.

Funny because I couldn't just whore out the P90, 3 Frag, Martydom setup that everybody else uses. I think I'm rank 14 or 15 now.

BTW, I thought the prestige icon was 1 2 4 3 5 6 7 8 9 10



The green one looks weird...

Stop tempting me with all this prestige talk. Is there anyway to block specific terms in a thread?

It isn't really worth it but it does increase replay value... if you depend on a single setup (like many people depend on P90) it probably isn't a good idea.

The worst part to me is the Perk 1, because it takes a while for anything good to come (unless you want a n00b tube, but I prefer a Red Dot Sight. Furthermore, n00b tube kills don't count as kills for that weapon.)

By the way, Pako, I saw you online this morning playing CoD^4 but you didn't respond to my invites.

 

[Dragonistic]

I, for one, won't go into prestige, I simply dont play enough for it to be worth the effort. Plus when I do play, I don't play for XP or points, I just try to provide good support for those brave troops going out there and making the push.

 

[WallRunner]

So what was included in the update?

New Killcams (Grenade, RPG, Airstrike, Claymore, etc. Pretty much everything has one now)
Better server support for 18 player games
Improved Hit detection on Snipers (I was owning at district with the Barrett earlier, ran up on 7 guys and killed them all with 4 shots .
Infinity Ward logo on all loading screens
Ability to mute players (especially good for those who leave CoD4 on while watching TV, or those who can't hold their lips and have to shout obscenities while my parents are watching me play....)

From,
Chris.

 

[Robin]

My favorite was the guy who played a various selection of his music collection through his headset throughout the match!

The quick mute function sure will be helpful. In about a month for me...

What about improved hit detection for the ACOG scope? Has anyone tried it?

And I can't believe they left Host Migration out of the patch, it doesn't make any sense. Probably the biggest complain of them all, and it's the one the left out.
Especially after saying again and again on official statements that it would be on the patch...
