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

I think the Martyrdom perk may be broken. Its now to the point where 8 out of 10 people online are using it. You become trained to the point where the second you kill someone, you sprint away from them as fast as you can.

I understand that the perk was probably thought up as an anti-teabaggiing measure, but when nearly everyone uses it to the exclusion of all other perks in that class, isn't that a problem?

At least Last Stand requires some skill, martyrdom... well, you know...

Gotta love the cats...

And retail, a little confused by your comment did you miss the crack or was it just sarcasm that didn't work to good?

WTF. The game just stays at the "Downloading Game Settings" screen forever now for me. The music keeps playing and stuff, but it never gets past that screen anymore.

EDIT: NM. Finally got into one. But it consistently makes me wait 4-5 minutes before it lets me do anything.
 
Oh.. man. My brother and I ended up playing Vacant three times in a damn row! The third time we actually joined a hair late in to the game and our team was up 30 to zip. I went on an 18 kill streak and the opposing team couldn't even get in to the warehouse! Of course, with all those kills I got an air-strike and then a chopper, and that other team is still outside. Poor bastards didn't even know what him them.

Man... I love this game.

Reminds me of a domination game I played the other day. Can't remember the name of the map, the ship map with all the crate everywhere, but we had A, B and C and they kept spawning at C. So I presisted to get a 18 kill streak while getting an airstrike, a chopper, another airstrike, another chopper. A friend and I put at least 5 airstrikes on there position in a row. Must of been hell on earth for them ;)

How many hours in multiplayer did it take?
 
To all those saying they hate martydom:
Can't you just pick up the frag and toss it somewhere else? If you're close enough that you have to run away, you have even time to pick it up and toss it. Or, if you can't pick up martydom frags, nevermind, I haven't played online much since the beta and I could have sworn that you could do that in the beta.

Anyhoo, the ending was so badass but sad at the same time. Actually, most of the campaign felt epic, minus the 500 times I died because of veteran mode.

I don't think it is possible. The grenades dropped by Martydom are already half cooked. You only have time to hopefully run away.
 
[quote name='archibishopthedoge']how perfect/amazing is All Ghillied Up

good god what an absolute gem of a level[/quote]

Yep, its quite an experience

But wait till you get to One Shot One kill, and have to escape with McMillian...ITS A MASSACRE! 2 against...Everyone! i cant get past the first seconds without dying.

Also, i have a question, ive played some of the other call of duty games and one person is in all of this "Captain Price" is he some sort of Immortal Soldier? is he the Highlander? ive seen him in the original COD and COD2 and now he's back again!
 
I'm embarassed to say i've already hit the 24 hours played mark.... I did pull off a 25 kill streak late last night though. :D

I've got 5 people on my friends list who play this and 4 of them are at or above 20 hours and 1 guy at a sad 10 hours. This is more addicting than any online game in awhile!

Up until my 360 died I was at 17 hours, and lvl 43. The beta definately gave me an edge, as most of my friends are on the day+ mark and in the 30s. It is definately staying fresh with the challenges, and I hope they eventually release additional challenges. I just started using the AK47, which feels much better than I remember it feeling in the beta. Gotta have those 1000 points for marksman iii :) I'm sure the battle to get the headshot challenges on the shotguns will be the end of me though.

Im at 54, and Im gonna hit the cap today as soon as I log on.

What do you think about Prestige mode? Are you gonna do it?

I heard rumors of gold skinned guns, but Ive talked to a few people who have the Pestige symbol (its a yellow hexagon background under your rank symbol), and they say they didnt get any gold skins for any guns.

Another guy I spoke to believes its related to headshots. He says in the beat once you got the last skin, red or blue tiger camo, the game mentioned something about golden camo.

Anyway, I think Im gonna use Prestige mode, but this time Im just gonna level up using guns I like. I spent alot of painful games this past week using crap like the mini-uzi and the single shot assault rifles cos I wanted the 1000 points. Im definitely not doing that if I opt for another goaround.

*edit* Im actually at 2 days. Although thats with me changing weapons frequently to go for challenges and increase my points.

If your trying to level up quickly, keep changing weapons everytime you hit 150 kills and get all 3 challenge bonus'. Also, play the game types with objectives, like search and destroy, domination, etc. They tend to score higher overall and take less time that simple team death, of FFA.

Has anyone else had problems joining peoples parties? I can play solo but I have yet to join a party because every time I try I get kicked off. Anyone else having similar problems?
 
What's the downside of going on "Prestige Mode"? I figured since its a natural progression of the game, everyone would be doing it? I'm level 14 or 15 right now so I still got a long ways to go.

Then play One Shot, One Kill on Vet and almost throw your controller at the TV....That level took me waaaay to long to beat.

You restart everything - Level, Challenges, Weapons. Everything.

You get a special rank next to your name though.

No, I'm not going to do Prestige Mode. The symbol isn't worth it to me.

You get the gold guns when you complete the challenges for each weapon class.

Say, if you did all the assault rifle challenges, you get the gold AK-47.

When you hit level 55, you get the gold Desert Eagle.

Yeah I got the gold deagle an hour ago. Im working thru 55 now.

Thanks for the tip on unlocking the golden guns!
 
No, there's already 605 ranks (You can do Prestige mode 10 times).

I doubt I'll do Prestige mode, I dont want to reset all my challenges and weapons for a symbol.

I might. If I play COD4 like I did COD3's MP. I'll mos def do them all.
 
Lots of problems today while playing online. My game would freeze for a couple of seconds through this one game and I was disconnected on another. :(
 
Mile High Club level, don't watch if you don't want that level spoiled.

This guy does it with a pistol, on veteran. Makes me want to quit playing lol.
 
Do I go for Prestige mode or not?

I maxed out yesterday, and now when I play a game, its just kinda... lacking.

I cant believe it, but Ive actually become addicted to IW's little rpg leveling up system. Now that the exp points I earn dont go towards anything, well its simply not as satisfying. Ive already got nearly all of the challenges that are actually attainable. If anyone has ever killed 2 people with bullets while in midair... I'd like to hear about it... lol.

Damn you Infinity Ward for making such an awesome game!
 
You can't have an Arcade mode save and SP save going concurrently? I have people over seeing the game and being amazed and I want to show them certain levels but I don't want to lose my SP progress. Is the only way around the one save files by copying my save to a memory card first in the Dashboard?
 
Anyone having troubles finding games or getting on LIVE since the server maintenence last night? I'm having pronlems, my roomate is having problems, and my brother who lives across town and uses a different ISP is also having problems. So, they definitely fucked up LIVE. I hoped this is resolved very soon. It was working awesome prior to any maintenence.

I cant get on. I used prestige mode and reset myself to level 1, so Im ready to play hard and unlock stuff. I got thrown into a match of FFA (i was looking for Domination) and I got to level 4 by the end, but my 360 froze at the endmatch screen and I had to hard reset. It didnt save my level gains either.

Now I cant get on at all.

yeap, they tryied to fix something that wasn't broken and made it worse lol....i can't play my COD4 !!!! It sucks man.......
 
I can't even get my friends into a party without something freezing. Really pissing me off. Like valor said, it worked great and now it doesn't.
 
This is fucking pissing me off. They got me hooked on this fucking game, now they take it away. :bomb:

My LIVE is frakked up in general. Most of my friends show up as having zero gamerscores, and no ratings. Its taking me upwards of 30 seconds to send a message to someone.

And anyone trying to play CoD shows up as being in an online match 'calling a Helicopter', lol.
 
Inifinite Spawning pisses me off so much. Rather than creating good A.I, they take the cheap way and throw this in the game. Infinite spawning is what almost ruined KUF for me. How OLD is this method? This is my first CoD game, but god damn, how can anyone take this crap? This is the staple of the CoD series? Ugh! Granted it created a good sense of urgency making you run to the next checkpoint, but the amount of enemies that spawn up all around you is just stupid.

Didn't GRAW have infinite spawns? I can't believe how many times I've died running to the next checkpoint only to have enemies spawn right in front or to my blind side. Then it begins this repetitive annoyance where I keep dying until I figure out where most of the soldiers spawn from.
 
[quote name='CouRageouS']Anyone been able to get on today?[/QUOTE]

i finally got to get on around 3pm pacific standard time....but after that it was kicking people out of the room. i hope the server is back up again.
