Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Gen. Discussion & Info

[quote name='ep2011']The Live outage is wierd for me... worked about 4-6 and then 7 until now, but now it won't work.

I just started using a stealth class... I LOVE IT! Its so awesome to kill 5 people in a row, and they don't even shoot back!

My class is:

P90 silenced
Special x3 (I flash rooms when I walk in sometimes to capture)
UAV Jammer
Dead Silence

Any opinions on how my class is? I usually get above a 1:1 ratio using that class, but sometimes if the level isn't good for stealth or if the other team is too smart, I'll switch to my m16 class.[/QUOTE]

I roll with pretty much the same thing for my stealth "Agent" class, though lately I've swapped out the P90 for a silenced G36 -- the increased range is useful with this combo, because even stealthed, if you have to get RIGHT up on someone, they're more likely to spot you. That's the same reason I use Martyrdom on my shotgun-wielding "CQB" class rather than here. Don't forget to silence your back-up pistol, unless you're adamant about using the Deagle. I also use Special Grenades x3, though it's more for theme than anything, I suppose. I can see the merits of Increased Endurance, but I prefer Dead Silence, personally -- I think being able to move silently at normal speed makes you faster -- long run -- than longer (and noisier) sprinting. YMMV, of course.
 
I can't believe the patch for this is not out yet. IW said it was submitted to MS before Xmas. Shouldn't it have been approved and out by now?

With all the problems Live is having, they probably don't want to have the servers get hammer by thousands of users downloading a CoD4 patch until they get the issues fixed.

Hmm the G36 is a good idea, except for the P90 I can hit pretty far away, the G36 would be hard if I was really close to someone... And I think I'll change it back to Dead Silence, because lately I've been spotted more frequently with Increased Endurance... Thanks for the Input :)
 
Just played the Shipment map for the first time today, and my first thought was what the fuck. It is as if the IW developers were baked out of their minds when they came up with the concept for the map.

I'm not sure if it only shows up in Domination mode, but it seems as if there is no viable strategy to follow other than kill before being killed.

Try it on Headquarters.

I love that map on headquarters. It's freakin' insane. Total adrenaline rush.

shipment is the map my friends and I use when we get too many for public playlists. It's hillarious with knives only.
 
The first time I played shipment, I was a complete newbie. I was still stuck using iron sights and couldn't throw a grenade worth a damn. I think I died like 75 times and got 3 or 4 kills. That was bad... Last time I played (on headquarters), I was 1:1 K/D, which was great for me.

As long as your running a silenced gun and UAV jammer, I prefer extreme conditioning as well. The quick sprinting is perfect for run and gun tactics, and can give you quite the edge in HQ/Domination and other map types where speed over distance can score your team big points.
 
I just realized why people use dead silence, my friend told me that if you actually have a good set of speakers you can hear other people. This is a shock to me since I have never EVER heard anyone. People running next to me make no noise, but when we were camping out in Search and Destroy he told me to stop moving around and he was not really even close to me. Then after that he asked if I was still moving after I stopped and I guess he figured out it was the enemy and got the final kill.

Such a unfair advantage :(

Are you serious?

Listening to where people are is how I get about half of my kills.
 
[quote name='BackInBlack']I dont even have surround sound and it helps.[/quote]

Same here when I am playing at my place at school.

Just turn up the sound and you will hear it.

Good point. Extreme Conditioning helps a bunch in objective games; I tend to play Team Hardcore, so I often forget about that. Then again, I would probably make a different class specific to HQ/Domination, rather than go with general purpose stealth.
 
There didn't seem to be any lag last night, however, I had "connection interrupted" TWICE during the end of games. Looks like the servers are still glitchy, at least for COD4 since I had no problems with R6:Vegas.
 
I didn't try playing any games, but my blades wouldn't load earlier in the evening last night, and were pretty slow even later on (like 3 am EST).

So servers are still having some issues. Still lots of bitching about problems on the xbox forums as well.
 
[quote name='Liquid 2']You can't drop in level though...[/QUOTE]


i mean it wasnt that i was a player killer and lost levels, it was the game/xbl acting screwy. I have really no idea what happened or if there is any way to get back, but the clock rolled back on my COD4 playing randomly and i am pretty cheesed.
 
Yeah, I've seen several posts on the Xbox forum about people losing ranks and challenges in CoD4.

One of the reasons I've shelved playing it online until XBL gets straightened out.

Ya it definitely was pretty common the last week or so. I lost a few (easy) challenges myself.
 
I cant have the sound up, the times I get to play my family is sleeping so ya. I do fine without it but man it would be nice
 
Ayone else getting bored of this game yet? I'm only a level 35, and it seems like every mode, every game is the same. Not to mention I can't play with my friends since I can't connect with any of them.
 
Guys, after losing nearly all my rank, I've found out that if you do the "fix" posted, eventually you will get it all back, even if you have played in a game with your lower rank. I went from 12 to 3 to back to 12.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it eventually. :applause:
 
It is kind of weird, sometimes only certain game modes are working for me. Last night I was able to play Headquarters, and today I was only able to play Ground War.

On another note, can't decide whether or not to start up my 2nd Prestige. I hate the fact that you lose all your skins. I wish you were able to keep skins, but have to do the challenges over again. There should be a little more of an incentive than just the little dinky icon.
 
[quote name='yummytyson']What is prestige mode?[/quote]

Once level 55, you can choose to restart everything but your kill ratio, etc... All weapons, skins, levels, perks, everything else. In return, you get a little icon next to your name.
 
[quote name='mvp828']Kendal, I will be on in about an hour and 20 mins. I will try to hop in your game.[/QUOTE]

Like I said :p

Good game though.
 
Did anyone else lose what they did over the past few days? I went down from 25 to 21 and my buddy went from 49 to 45.

Needless to say we werent very happy. Oh well.
 
I'm not at 55 yet, but I probably won't do prestige. I was all for it at first, but the leveling up is starting to become a grind and I'm only at 37. Besides, I like using a variety of perks and weapons.
 
[quote name='lordwow']Like I said :p

We just couldn't get a turnover, but good game none the less. Kind of mad that so many people are saying "Oh the Pats destroyed the Jags.."

I personally feel it was a closer game than the score shows.
 
[quote name='strikeratt']Pumped and have to brag about it :D

I just went 84 Kills and 31 Deaths in a Domination game :D 1508 points for the round woot[/quote]
Well since you like to brag


98 kills 15 deaths Sabotage on Bloc, ....Almost had a 27 kill streak.

Most used Weapon: G3 (best weapon) with Red dot, and M4 with Silencer

Perks Used: Bandolier, Stopping Power, Last Stand

8 Airstrikes, 5 helicopters, Planted the Bomb about 8 times

(Alot of the XP came from completing two headshot challenges, shooting Claymores and an Enemy helicopter)

3874 XP

That round alone knocked my K/D ratio from .86 to 1.16



By the way....does anyone know how the Match Bonus is determined? seems like its kinda random...is it based on the kills you've made? The K/D? The overall Team play?...Kinda confuses me.
