Re: call of duty 4
 

I am really loving this game so far, and I suck really bad at multiplayer. My strategy so far sounds a lot like goofyballer's. I am resisting the urge to camp since it seems like an easy way to get kills, but I don't think it would help me get any better.

I played someone last night worse than me. He had his headset on and was talking to a friend and kept saying things like, "ok, we have to get to a window on the top floor so we can use our sniper rifle". I just kept sneaking up behind him and getting him.

Re: call of duty 4
 

Campaign is redic short, defo sub 5 hours. Although it is so cool, I totally loved the camo sniper mission where you assasinate that guy and lye low in the field while the enemey pass by.

Now just trying to earn the cheats etc.

Re: call of duty 4
 

got it on PC today, my bro said my PC could easily handle the graphics, so i turn on single player and it works great, then decide i wanna play some multiplayer online and it lags like a mofo...its weird because i use the same servers for CS and they run smoothly like 0 choke or loss, but CoD4 was spiking like crazy.

Re: call of duty 4
 

I just ranked up to level 20 before finally prying the controller out of my hand's clutches for bed.

As if I needed something to occupy any more of my time.

Re: call of duty 4
 

God this game is SO FREAKING GOOD, seriously I haven't even finished campaign yet, have it for PC and have been playing multiplayer.

I'm up to level 43, just got Desert Eagle. I cannot think of a single thing I dislike about this game perhaps maybe the overuse of grenade launchers on some servers.

Anyway, whoever said earlier in the thread that this was the game of the last 5 years is spot on imo (Multiplayer anyhow).

Re: call of duty 4

People have offered help. First of all, use the UAV well (if you never get kills to get UAV, switch to TDM). Campers can be annoying, but exploitable. Campers have the tendency to stay in the same spot a lot, hence the name. When you die, watch how you were killed and you can then try to kill them with either a grenade or some other alternative tactic (shoot through walls, find alternate ways of creeping up on him etc).

I'm about level 30 and haven't had any problem with campers. Not that I'm that good, but I don't really encounter them too often, and when I do they are usually pretty bad and easy to take down if you know where they are.

Disclaimer: Haven't played any non death match (TDM and FFA) games yet.

hey goofy i feel like you too. bf2 is the only other fps I've played, and I eventually got decent at it, but I sucked for a long time. I got this game this weekend but really haven't played for that long since dying 5 times for every kill i get isn't that much fun. I feel like I'm missing out on something but I'm not sure what it is.

I just shot some of the men as they come down the ropes. Then some are on the right behind a car, sniper them off easy, then others are still in the field bit (where all the originals come from and where you should lay some claymores or something). I took a position up just to the right of my partner, I was just behind a tree.

You get a lot of men who will just run to a position after another dies there, so be prepared for men to effectively re-spawn. Watch out for grenades too.

When your heli comes just pick up your mate and make a run for it. You should be able to make it alive assuming there aren't men firing closely at you.

I did it on regular, so idk what level you are on but it was kinda daunting but ok for me.

Re: call of duty 4
 

Goofy - If I were you I'd honestly just get the PC version.

This type of game lends itself to campers and since people are inherently less skilled with an Xbox controller than a mouse and keyboard it makes camping a more viable option I'd imagine.

I honestly have not had any problems with camping at all, and I've probably put the most time in of anyone in this thread across all the different times of games and various servers, so that leads me to believe the camping is more of an Xbox thing.

That being said, if you're playing on a larger server UAV is on nearly constantly, and stun grenade then rushing in with a close quarters weapon or knife kill does the trick usually.

Furthermore if the server has Killcam on that really makes campers ineffective.

Re: call of duty 4
 

Just played this for the first time today and damn... it's good! I haven't had time to play single player yet. I just jumped into multiplayer. And even though I suck, it's so much fun.

GOTY material for sure!

Put claymores and C4 EVERYWHERE, especially on the right of the ferris wheel so strays cant come around the ferris wheel and shoot at you that way. Use sniper rifle for far guys, assault for guys who get closer. I tried to stay close to other guy.

Re: call of duty 4
 

I'm at level 14 now. Every level I move up I see the xp required to reach the next level and sigh.

Re: call of duty 4
 

im level 26 with a K/D ratio of 1.3, but i know itd be higher if i actually played strategically with other people. Anyone interested in starting a 2+2 clan? message me on xboxlive my sn is huber117.

anyway anybody here unlock the ACOG for the G3? the single fire sucks but the gun has low recoil and it must be an awesome semi sniper with the stopping power perk and an ACOG scope. plus if you get in close combat, its still not a bad gun to have with you since its an AR.

Guys, should I get this for PS3 or 360?

The games look/perform just about identically. 360 version will have more people to play against (which is a reasonably big deal with automated matchmaking) as well as achievements.

Re: call of duty 4
 

TFG,

If you get this game on 360 I will be Tebow and YOU will be South Carolina.

Re: call of duty 4
 

Just got this game tonight, pretty damn sweet. Its like some crazy mayhem. Haven't even tried out multiplayer yet.

Re: call of duty 4
 

I'm struggling with "Charlie Don't Surf" at the TV station on Veteran.

Re: call of duty 4
 

I had a bitch of a time on normal, in the main control room. I couldn't see enemies anywhere and if I tried to stay back and pick them off I got rocked. Finally deciced the best play is to lob a grenade into the far room, then storm it. You get one person following you, but main, it was [censored] chaos. pretty wild.

That's actually exactly what I do. I storm the far left room, toss a grenade, pick off the one guy near the door. There's two more in the second room who sometimes attack or flee out the back. The problem I have is getting to the area where everyone spawns when going through the back.

There's usually one camper in the room next to the spawn area. However, I'm never able to get to that spot because I'm usually picked off. It doesn't matter if I kill the sniper on the second floor either. I've tried throwing flashes as well as grenades before I make my run to that camper's room.

Ugh, frustrating . . .

for most levels on veteran, you just have to be patient and let the bad guys come to you

i didn't even go into the main TV room area until everyone was dead, just camp out by the entrance

i'm stuck at the ferris wheel level on veteran right now, i don't see how i will ever get past it

Really? Wow. Whenever I camped by the entrance, if I didn't attack the spawn area, more seemed to appear. That was how I thought it worked. I'll try that . . .

I didn't know only a particular amount of waves would spawn. It seemed to never end. I was battling for a good 30-45 minutes.

i'm at work now, so i'll have to check out that video later, thanks in advance if it will help

as for finite spawning, i was unsure at first but eventually confirmed that there are a certain number of bad guys that will appear, be it in waves or whatever, and that's it, it's kind of tedious shooting from that doorway spot, but eventually you'll get through all of them

Re: call of duty 4
 

LOL.

I've already logged like 10 hours of play on this game and I haven't played but the ship mission on campaign.

try the top of the 3 story building in crash

Re: call of duty 4
 

Yeah, its not infinite spawing, that would be retarded if it was.

Try the second Marine mission when you are protecting the tank. You cover the area for a few minutes, then no more baddies. Crazy game!

The map where there are all of those missle silos in the ground. If you just wait for one to open and walk into it you'll complete it.

I think that's "the Bog" right? That was a huge mess. Fun mess though. Absolute mayhem. Wait until you get to "War Pig." You'll love it.

"Ghillies in the Mist" (my favorite) though reminded me of that movie "Sniper." Any other games with resemblance to that mission? Any of the Rainbow Sixes have something similar?

Haha, I kinda miss Quake 2 where they didn't release multiplayer maps for a couple months after the game came out so everyone was just runnin around on the single player levels killing each other online.
