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

I saw a ton of people using sniper rifles at short range yesterday. It was like a bizarro world. Completely ineffective though.
 
[quote name='lordwow']Everybody was running ACOGs on all the guns I picked up this afternoon. But I came in first on every one of the FFA maps I played (about 10 rounds) running a silenced MP5. So, the ACOG scope is better than it was, especially on the assault rifles, but people are becoming dependent on it from what I can tell.[/quote]

It was probably more an issue of players trying out the ACOG to see how different it was.

No, they were using sniper rifles, not ACOG snoped assault rifles. Like, trying to use a sniper rifle as an assault rifle.
 
Grampa Simpson: Bitch, bitch, bitch :)

I love the new improvements, but I guess I'm not an expert and maybe can't recognize the spawn issues. I love using the sniper rifle now since it actually makes sense.

The new kill cams are sweet IMO.

I actually was one of those idiots. Except mine were just quick encounters where I thought I had a clean run to a hide-out. One dude popped out at the last second and took a R700 round to the jugular. :D
 
I dont understand the spawnpoint beef, it is a huge problem in all shooters that allow respawns. Would you rather it be fixed so you can be backed into a corner? I dont know of any game where the spawn system is perfect....
 
only time I have spawn problems is on shipment, when either you spawn with someone else at the start of the game or someing camps and spawnkills when one team captures the hq. doesn't bother me though, cause I'm aware and get kills off of it.

I'm loving the M16 with the ACOG, not sure if it's because of the novelty factor.

Kicking the PMS clan's ass 1000-470 on Downpour in Ground War was nice. You missed out, Jim.

Better than the red dot scope IMO. Just not so good in close range. Not very helpful when your zooming into a wall.

a lot of the time you will spawn back into a corner though, it is just one or two random teammates spawn away and right behind the other team. it wouldn't bother me so much if the didn't spawn the person right behind me for them to easily kill me, if the even had to make an attempt to move and aim or something it wouldn't be so bad. i just don't care for someone who is 2-19 to spawn RIGHT behind me and knife me just because there was no way i could turn around and react to it. if they have to run after me, at least i can hear them running while i am in scope so i have a chance to turn around at least.

by the way, if they can get me pushed into my spawn, more power to them, if i can't push them out, that is my problem that i didn't do well enough to get them out. i play with my clan for the main reason that i know i have some good guns to back me up, i rarely ever have been spawn camped and when we were, we pushed them out fairly quick.
 
Good for you playing with a team, bad for everyone else who doesnt because they would get pushed into a corner and spawn camped.

I think alot of the complaints have to do with the fact that you have no shield whatsoever upon spawning, which, in alot of cases, not just on shipment, would be very helpful as its not uncommon to spawn in the middle of a fire fight with a grenade at your feet, or right at a choke point where you're killed before you can even manage to move. Or, in the case of Search and Destroy, you can be killed by nade launchers right off the bat, even.
 
Ok so dont play shipment? The map is designed for stupid random killing, I live with the random killing. There is no perfect spawn system for a map 40 ft by 40 ft. If someone had a shield imagine how easy it would be to get the airstrikes/copters. Its already easy but if you get 5 seconds of free shots geeez. Shipment is not a real map and any complaints about it should be ignored imo...

As for the S&D thing, you need to not rush certain areas to avoid that. Its a waiting game, rushing can lead to random deaths. Normally it wont be as soon as you spawn but 5-10 seconds later as you run into that area where the other team can see you/you can see them
 
I would love to have a shield upon respawning too. Either that or have it be like WoW where when you log in and you're in a pvp zone, you have 10 seconds where if you are killed you give no honor to whoever killed you. Having it in COD4 would be great where the other person would not receive a kill if they killed you within, say 5 seconds, of respawning. You have no idea how many times I respawn only to get killed by a random grenade or helicopter or airstrike or whatever. I wouldn't mind if it was completely random when I am walking around, but when it happens when I first respawn, that's when I get pretty mad.
 
I really hope you are joking, a shield and a honor system are horrible ideas. The spawning is fine,it will never be perfect live with it

I said outside of shipment. And to balance the shield, make it 5 seconds, 1 shot, or 5 steps, simple as that. You shoot, and your shield goes bye. You move more than 3 feet, bye bye shield. You sit there like a doofus, or lag, bye bye shield. As for SnD, I'm not talking about the grenades, I am talking about the noob tube, which on many maps, such as the one with the missile silos can be fired as soon as you spawn and you can hit the other teams spawn, and kill them. Works on other maps too.
 
im happy with it so far, grabbed someones m14 w/acog and it worked like it should.

went 21-6 in an ffa match on district, which i thought was pretty nice considering i was using the skorpion.
i wish i had more time to play.
 
A shield thing would work but it would also lead to people getting easy kills by spawning near someone and being invincible for a moment. Nothing is perfect and spawn kills rarely effect me...

And I believe on Silo you need to move a little in the start to get behind cover of the noob tubes...
 
Has anyone else had their clan tag screwed up by the update?

My friends and I were using [doob] but the o's had little accents over them. It's suppossed to look like a little guy wearing headphones. Anyway, since the update I find that I cant put any of the symbols into a clan tag. =(
 
The IW guy said that one of the features of the patch was to remove the ability to use those obnoxious LS/RS icons in clan tags so I guess they axed a lot of the other ones too?

He also said that they added the ability to add more than 7(?) playlists(technically up to 16 but they won't ever hit that high) so we can expect changes very soon since they won't have to cut anything anymore.

Easy fix.. if you spawn with a sheild, you cannot fire your weapon until your "spawn shield" depletes. It Would save a lot of the spawning in front of someone, spawning in the same damn spot you died, or my favorite.. spawning and being killed instantly by an airstrike.

The spawn kill may "rarely" effect people.. but it DOES happend.
 
I get it all the time. Last night I actually had an amazing string of fun going on:

I was running around and finally got shot. Fine.

Then I spawned on top of a grenade.

Then I spawned underneath a helicopter that iced me instantly.

Then I spawned, didn't die right away, but then another dude spawned right after me with his rifle barrel already halfway up my ass.

Ergo a shield would be reasonably nice. Impractical, but nice.

I bet I can beat that. Just last night, I spawned right behind my teammates. Then someone was lucky enough to throw a grenade right in the middle of us. Killing half the team. :cry:
 
i remembered reading something that the game was supposed to calculate enemy proximity before designating a spawn.
its not working or its not whats needed.
i was killed by an airstrike 3 consequtive spawns, that was barrels of fun.

Well thats just wonderful. Ive seen people with that LS/RS thing like twice ever. Now my friends and I have to decide on a new clan name cos they removed the ability to use letters with a tilde or accent above them. :roll:
 
hey guys qick question was playing last night and boom out of no where the disk is cracked and is unplayable wtf what should i do?
 
I love the new patch, seeing the kill cam when somebody chucks a grenade outta nowhere like Tom Brady and kills you. The grenades in this game are fuckin' ridiculoso.
 
omg, i hadn'y played in forever, played like 3 games right now, all of them i was sucking balls, wtf happened. i got like 3 kills max in each game, omg....

I was unemployed when the game came out, I played hours and hours every day. I was pretty good. Now I work 60+ hours a week and really only get to play on the weekends. And now I suck, lol.

Man, it has been like that for me off and on for the last year and a half.

Yeah, I'm pretty busy in the first part of the week and only really have time from Thursday-Sunday and from the time I last played in the weekend to the time I first play the next week, I lose alot in the skills department.
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']I wish the quick mute option was available in the lobby as well. Maybe next time.[/quote]


I think it is. I could swear I muted a few retards in the lobby today without too much trouble.
 
It doesn't work in the lobby, still have to bring up their gamer card and mute them there, rather than just highlighting and hitting A like you can do in game.
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']I wish the quick mute option was available in the lobby as well. Maybe next time.[/QUOTE]

I will have to agree with this one. I have muted over 20 people in a night which is very time consuming and prevents me from changing classes a lot. I would still rather mute the idiots than change my classes though. I think I am averaging 10 mutes a night at least now, especially when the people come in the room talking trash and when they get beat they say we have no life. Why is it when someone else is better at video games, the other players have no life?

that was great, i was pretty bad with ignoring the ex when in my socom-vegas days... then again, i had other reasons besides the gaming which is why i ignored her for gaming, but that is another issue. anyways, my favorite part of that clip was the 12 year old thing, too many little kids cursing when their parents aren't around to whoop them for it. not saying that i am not foul-mouthed, because i am really bad about it, but at least i am old enough to buy the game on my own.

Haha... That's great, I am so glad you posted that. I was just playing with fellow CAC Dante Devil last night and he was telling me about that. I forgot to check it out though.

Yea, I agree with that about how little kids are swearing all the time on there. Now, I also don't have the cleanest mouth, but I know when is okay and when isn't. I'm able to monitor myself depending on the group I am playing with.

Sounds like the gaming gods on high are trying to send you a sign :hot:
 
One of my friends was telling me in class today that he saw someone using the "a bad year" cheat online. He said basically he turned the corner to see one of his teammates get shot and then explode into tires.

I personally don't believe it. Has anyone else seen it happen?
