Yeah it's quite annoying. I wish they just hadn't said anything and just dropped it when it dropped. I think in this time we should have had 2 patches. I know they have to go through Microsoft but if it takes this long, this is something they need to take up with Microsoft because the process is broken if it takes this long for something to get approved and put up.

Sorry. Can't remember and this thread is pretty massive now.

So what is this new patch going to fix?
I thought I heard someone saying that it'll get rid of the "Host Ended Game"
Maybe now if you quit and you are the host the game won't end and someone else will be the host...

All the info was detailed pages back. And unfortunately as I interpreted it, that isn't the fix. I believe the game will still end but you will be dumped back to the lobby with your party intact. That is what I gathered from the info presented last time.

Nothing announced but I think they really should get some DLC out. New maps seem inevitable.lionelhutz said:

I guess I'm a bit LTTP but I just got this and I'm having a blast online. Headquarters is really fun! I'm around level 13, and I'm not very good, but this game sure is addicting..

Things that need fixed in the patch:
People using a keyboard to do some obnoxious looking clan tags/usernames on the PS3 version.
Glitching on levels, getting behind walls you shouldn't be able to and becoming invisible, etc. There are a few.
Team balancing. I've seen teams with seven players quite a bit. This can be the winning factor on game types that don't have respawns.
When a player willingly leaves a game and take the LOSS it gives you for doing so, don't put the player right back on the same server when they search for a new game!
Dedicated servers on the PS3 version, please.
Gimp the grenade launcher. Yesterday I was on a team where a guy with a grenade launcher took out the ENTIRE enemy team within three seconds of the match starting.
And as for maps, I'd like LARGER maps that aren't so predictable and not something where half of the people die within the first ten seconds of the game by blind grenades and grenade launchers.

Not to be a dick or anything, but if you're getting killed on things like that more than twice in a row, you're doing something wrong, not the game. Stop running into high traffic areas at the start of the match if you know they're going to get blindly bombed.
If anyone cares to know, on gamebattles.com the clan I am in are in the playoffs.
We won our semi-final round today and advance to the championship round.
http://gamebattles.com/ps3/call-of-duty-4/ladder/clan/bracket?season=110
We, The Next Level, will play N2L(Nothing 2 Lose) for the best team of the Fall Season for COD4 on gamebattles.com.
Wish us luck

Yes, it's fairly easy to avoid, but this is the game doing something wrong. You really think this is a good feature that based on knowing where the other team spawns, and how fast they can move, you can lob a grenade to where they'll be at the start of the match? I am frankly quite happy I haven't seen this is in other games.

Nope, not on Bog or Ambush in particular. I've seen entire teams wiped out TWO SECONDS into the game. Tell them how to avoid that.ThirstyFly said:
FACT: It's a flaw of the game.

The IW message of the day is for a map builder. Maybe something in the next few months once the contest is over.
blindrocket said:
Uh... don't have the entire team run the exact same way every round would be my first piece of advice. I have never seen someone take out people instantly on Ambush with the grenade launcher. Is this deathmatch? If so, who cares. It's not possible to do that in S&D.
Now, S&D on Bog is an entirely different story. But there is still an easy way around it. Just don't dart out to the left if someone is shooting M203's there. All it takes is a couple seconds of taking cover and then the other guy is out of grenades.
Every time I prestige I use the default Assault class with the M16 and grenade launcher on a couple maps until I unlock the 3 nade perk and I blind fire grenades to that spot on Bog all the time. After 1 round of getting 1 or 2 people the team will adapt and no one will run out there. It's no different than spamming thrown grenades at choke points on a map or taking a sniper rifle, spawning, running 3 steps then sniping at choke points.

Not TDM, I only play Hardcore S&D and yes it is very possible. I've seen it more than once. While attacking on Ambush the guy took out the entire defending team, and while defending on Bog he nearly took out the entire attacking team.Andokuky said:

No different except you are throwing these grenades based on the knowledge that you KNOW where they are, and you KNOW how far they can move. It sort of breaks the fourth wall if you will. Which is different from spamming a choke point based on the hopes that someone is there.

Oh, I nearly forgot to mention that I've seen a defender take out multiple attackers on the map Pipeline. He didn't move an inch other than to look up into the air with his grenade launcher and pull the trigger. It's stupid.

Yeah I'm not a fan of grenade spamming spawns on S & D. It's a pretty big problem. But the PS3 online experience has so much more to fix.

Some more things I'd like in the patch:
I way to vote TK'ers off. It can be pretty bad in Hardcore S&D. I've seen a Team Killer take out an ENTIRE team with one blast from a rocket launcher.
Filters on what map you want to look for. Nothing like searching for a game only to be put on something you HATE and have to take a loss just to get out of it, which if you look for another game right away you take the chance of being put right back into the same server with the same map.
They already said a mute feature would be in the next patch (PS3).
There seems to be a bug that I can hear dead people while I am still in the game, or vice versa.

FIX THE FRIENDS SYSTEM on the PS3 should be priority uno. It's ridiculously broken.

IW can do that? Or do you mean do something like what Resistance does?miyamotofreak said:
I have no problem getting a party together and fragging it up online in CoD4.
"Host Quitting" is the biggest problem with the game to me. It seriously needs some kind of dedicated server.

Developer? I said people, as in the gamers running their own dedicated servers.Deepblue said:

I think if the host of the party backs out too soon or something it screws the party up. That would be nice if they fixed that.bjscott05 said:
Usually what we do if a host quits the game or something happens and the party gets broken up, whoever was hosting the party sends out invites again right away and we usually get the party back in less than 30 seconds.

Hit detection is off too. I just saw a kill cam where a sniper didn't even come close to me and I got instantly killed.

No... people run and throw nades almost instantly after they spawn because they know there is a chance people are running towards a certain spot. That's no different than shooting an M203 to the same spot. Maybe someone is there, maybe not. Neither player knows.
