Why can't we see connection speed from the lobby screen? Why does Martyrdom work when you get stabbed? Why can people fire in mid reload? Why is the gold camo on the AK47? Why is Showdown a 8 player free for all map? Why do enemy players spawn near you in team deathmatch (and probably others)? Why isn't there some sort of playlist (with no experience earned) for a small party of people to play free for all?

1. Because then all babie would just go out before the real connection has been established (often you go from red to full-green statusfew seconds after the match-start)
2. Because with Martyrdom you have nade with safety switch out in your mouth all the time (you just don't see it because of the poor in-game graphic). So, no matter how you die, you open your mouth and nade then kills the enemy if he's not fast enough.
3. Because they're well trained members of special forces or terrorists trained and funded by money of USA tax-payers for last 2 decades
4. Because AK-47 is one and only assualt rifle in the world that deserves to be praised with Gold status. Why? Read Wikipedia.
5. Because when it wasn't everybody whined why it isn't. Same gooes for Wet Work. Now, when it's in, everybody wants to skip it. I wait for the moment of Shipment appearance for both F4A and TD modes, that would rock. Nade fiesta confirmed, count me in.
6. Because there is less spawn points then total number of enemies that experienced players can kill in average of 10 seconds while everybody rushes back to the exact point they've been killed 2 second s ago, wrongly presuming that 5xPrestige Lv 52 player will wait them in the very same spot they've seen him on KillCam
7. Because advanced players needs cheap points for ranking up, and fresh players tastes better than any steak.

I had a similar encounter on TDM. I'm a Major II and was put in a team with a bunch of 0-30s, whereas everyone on the other team were prestige level players. I tried my best, and managed 11 kills (11 deaths), but the entire match was incredibly one sided.

I hope they give some real incentive for entering prestige mode...
I just got around to beating the Single Player Campaign, and I must say, I thought the campaign was simply amazing.
I've never played a Call of Duty before, and being in Japan don't have access to a lot of the good FPS games anymore from the states (that and I don't have an Xbox) so there were just a ton of details in this game that just had my jaw on the ground for the whole time.
Especially the end of Act I and III.
While I felt some areas turned into non-stop waves of enemies, for the most part the scripting, acting, and just overall realness of the game blew me away.
With the glut of ps3 FPS games out now/coming out, CoD 4 stands on top. As much as I love warhawk, I've put no play into it since I've gotten this.
Now the only thing is to get better at the multiplayer. The experience/challenge system is addictive, and I can see this is how people who have xbox's feel when they unlock achievements. It's a great feeling to unlock those challenges, from the "bum bum buuuum" sound to the flashing challenge up top pumps you up. I managed to unlock the Team Deathmatch MVP and Flyswatter challenges last night. There are still some frustrations, but it's a damn fun game, and the challenges are what's keeping me going. I really hope Home uses achievements like that.

IMO the Russian levels of Call of Duty (the first one) are still the best. You get to storm the Reichstag ffs.
CoD4's cinematic presentation is unmatched this generation so far though.
CloudV said:
A combination of CoD4 online, and Incognito in their infinite wisdom increasing the respawn time, has really made me ignore Warhawk in recent weeks.

Man, I wish this wasn't so, There can a world of difference between 3 and 4 bars. You know, they should and another bar into the scale. I've had 3 bars be really laggy, or perfectly fine.

Heres some tips in multiplayer:
Time your jumps so that you don't get stuck in an animation when trying to get over a ledge or car or whatever. People stuck climbing are sitting ducks.
When you get the chopper, DO NOT use it. Instead, wait til you die, then call for chopper after you spawn. This way the chopper kills will help you call in airstrike/chopper again in no time. I got 40 kills and 5 deaths doing this just now lol.

I just finished this, and I can say without a doubt that COD4 is the best of the series. The best thing about it was that there's no god damn vehicle or tank part in the entire game. The only "vehicle" part in COD4 places you hanging out the back of a truck in an epic firefight.
The ending was awesome, but the "epilogue" that came after the credits was a giant unexpected treat. I fucking love Call of Duty.

Damn xfps sniper can't come soon enough, here are some pad players getting owned even with auto aim
Despite flaws I'm loving this game and how much better designed some things are than cs like the netcode and people dropping from any gun, something missing since valve took it over.

One of my buddies is telling me that if you're crouched, you won't be seen by an enemy UAV, is this true? I was under the impression that the only way to be invisible to UAV is the jammer perk. Can any one confirm/deny this ?

Your next step up is Ground War. Then try Headquarters if you're brave enough.

Ground War is "big team games", as in: 9 players on each team. Even if you're playing with/against amateurs the games are intense pretty much constantly.

Depends, I use the G36C personally cos it looks cooler, but the M4 and M6 work just fine alongside Stopping Power (but please dont do this cos you'll look the same as everyone else), Double Tap or Sleight of Hand
I love my AK47 because its the one of the most powerful rifles without Stopping Power (I play with UAV Jammer) and it also has the best default Iron Sight by far since I used a Silencer with it
M14 and G3 are excellent with ACOG scopes on the larger maps but stick to Red Dot Sights on the smaller ones. These need Stopping Power or else people can get away easily. Definitely a niche gun
M44 is a pretty ballin old gun but you can't unlock anything for it :\

Actually, that reminds me: Whats everyones favourite setup for a small (Vacant, Shipment) average (Downpour, Strike) and large (Showdown, Overgrown) map?
Small I either use a P90 + red dot or shotgun + grip with Sleight of Hand and Steady Aim
Average I either use RPD + red dot with double tap or G36C + red dot with stopping power
Large I use AK47 + silencer with UAV Jammer and sneak around, but sometimes G3 + ACOG with stopping power

I haven't really tried the multiplayer a lot until last night and I fucking suck. I need to practice and rank up. Considering the FragFX controller.
My gun totally jammed on me. It must be a stealth feature that IW added. :lol
In all seriousness, I couldn't fire my rifle and all I kept hearing was "click, click, click". I had to let an enemy kill me in order for the game to get back to normal.
Has anyone else seen this?

This is sort of killing me too. I decided a while back to wait on the patch before playing again and it's getting silly now. I know it's not there fault. It's slow ass Microsoft but still even I am running out of patience.
