Last week I got all 1000 achievement points on this game.

----

The following two achievements were the hardest for me:

Mile High Club and Deep and Hard
 
Its been a while since I even attempted to play this again online. Anyway they are working on the major problems that COD4 has.


Hey Everyone --

Wanted to give you a heads up for an update in the works for the Xbox 360 version. We're going to be optimizing a lot of things behind the scenes with matchmaking and host selection as well as adding a few new features via the update which I have outlined below. No ETA on when this update will be available for download, just giving a heads up on what's to come in the future in the first potential update:

Additions / New Features:
Added Kill cam to Airstrike bombs and Claymores

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

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

Addition of New "N0M4D" Control Scheme

Optimizations / Tweaks:

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

Anyone have issues with their mic while playing online, or is it just my mic playing up again? I can hear people coming through my speakers fine, but as soon as I plug the mic in, I can't hear anything at all through the mic. Occasionally you do hear people talking but it's only for a couple of seconds before it cuts out again. My brother used it in Halo 3 not that long ago and it was working fine, so I'm wondering if it's the game or not...

Its COD4. The series has always had problems online. COD2, COD3, now COD4. This one doesnt have as many problems but as you can see from my previous post, it still has many problems.
 
It's my actual mic that has problems, not the game. If I move the wire around connecting to the bit that connect to the controller it cuts in and out, so I need a new one...


I really can't stop play the multiplayer. Yes, it has a few issues with the lag in large Ground War matches (which is going to be sorted), Claymores not always blowing people up, grenade launchers not always working, and some guns being a pain to use, but overall I am absolutely addicted - many, many more positive points than negative. I don't understand why people complain about spawn killing - I've played over 500 matches and probably only been spawn killed 10 times.

The maps are awesome, the right gun and perk combinations for each one is awesome, and the challenge can be a great way to pass time. Just to give an idea I have 9300 kills, around 6500 deaths, and am at lvl 54 on the first Prestige. I tend to play Domination matches since I do well at them, but I'm not too bad at Search and Destroy and Team Deathmatch - depends on who's playing really.

Here's a Ground War Domination match I recorded this evening:

 
Yeah, I probably should pick this one up with my birthday money...
 
I havent played COD4 in a couple weeks. I have just been too consumed with all the other great games out right now. Eventually I will get back to this one but it can get very frustrating online thats for sure. I still need to finish the COD4 campaign.
 
I am fully addicted to this game now. Not campaign but Multiplayer. I cannot stop playing it. I love the ranking system and that in almost every match you get rewarded something. My best friend has it too and we have just played non-stop for the last couple of days. I'm itching for work to finish so I can go home and play it some more. It's put Rainbow 6 very much on the back burner. I can't even remember what games I bought recently cos they're all gathering dust in the corner. Strong words from someone who only two weeks ago said that he probably wouldn't be playing it much.

It was about 250 points - 41 kills and 8 deaths.

Damn. If that was team deathmatch, you would've had like almost 600 points.

Yeah, but Domination people tend to focus on areas around the flag so you fo get to kill lots of people. In Team Deathmatch it's a different ball game - I've never managed to kill that many people in one.
 
Yeah. I have though. :D

If Domination wasn't half points, it would be so awesome.
 
I hate the host advantage when playing across the pond, but despite this it's definetly my new SOCOM.
I've honestly never properly noticed it. It's definitely up there with one of the most stable online games (apart from 18 player games). I've noticed minimal delay even from American hosts, but you do still notice it... like the enemy sometimes has shot at you before you have even started shooting back, but some American hosts are bareable. It doesn't annoy me totally, but some games are much worse (like Gears).
 
I managed to play a game against #1 (jagriff333) and #6 (Moose) ranked players on the "kills" leaderboard, playing Headquaters. And they were seriously good. I managed to gain most of Moose's deaths myself ( :sly: ), but jagriff was AWESOME. It seemed as if he was doing one shot kills. Interestingly enough, both were using silenced M4s, and shooting through walls like they could see through them.

They were part of a large clan - about 8 of them - so as expected they dominated hard. Getting 22 kills 36 deaths against those guys isn't too bad I think. :p
 
Had a great set of games with Blackbird earlier. We definitely need to do this more often. 👍

And Evan play Headquaters like we did.
 
Yeah, I really DO NOT know how you routinely get like 20 kills. I consider 20 kills from me like destroying the entire team. But yeah it was fun and yes Evan you should play, and play headquarters. It gets interesting quick. Except on the damned map with all the shipment containers that you were like orgasming about James. -_- Talk about a nade fest.
 
I did buy the game two days ago, and I've enjoyed it thus far. I'm not too far into the single player game, and I haven't tried out the online play yet, but I may be lingering about today or tomorrow (I've been sick), so I don't know.
 
Did anybody else have connection issues, specifically the "connection interrupted" message?
 
Dunno why but at night for me it's just fine but during the day it blows, there doesn't seem to be as many people on or something. Today we couldn't even get a game and the stats said 0/0 players online. I dunno about right now because I don't have my 360 with me.

My best Team Deathmatch score was 27-9 with a 12 kill streak. I've had a few 10 and 11 streaks since, but never anything over 12.

Xboxlive has been having problems since the last update which was 3-4 weeks ago. But its been brutal over the holidays trying to play online at busy times. They really need to get xboxlive fixed because its just not the same any more since that update. :sick:
However I do have better luck connecting to Halo 3 than I do with COD4.
 
I got COD4 last night, played through to the level where you crash land in the field. So far I like the gameplay although many of the missions are reminiscent of other COD games. I started on the medium difficulty but I seem to be going through the missions quite easily. I'll have to play through it again on the higher difficulty once I'm done. The multiplayer looks good so I'm going to try and get on tonight.

Speak for yourself man, I was at a friends house and it took us like 30 minutes just to get in a freakin game with Halo 3.

So I hooked up my PS3 and played CoD4 online while waiting for matches to come in Halo. haha.
 
Thanks Blackbird, Matt R and Barryl85 for the good set of games. It's better playing with someone I know, even if I tend to drift off, not listen and do my own thing... :lol:

I've just added you, Mark. 👍
