RaYne would disagree with me, but I would say the M16 is better at any distance where one burst will kill them. So the G3 is good at really long range, where the M16 is only hitting with one bullet out of three anyway. M14 can be fun, one shot headshots, but not really better than anything else.
But most weapons are pretty equal at most ranges.

Should I end my love affair with the Mini-Uzi to begin a new one with the P90? I tend to use the submachine guns only on Wet Work and Vacant, so is it worth switching, or am I better off with the Mini in these ultra tight quarters?
By the way, losing streaks and KDRs lower than one tend to ruin my entire day. Oh, how I love and hate thee, COD4...

I need some clarification on 'Last Stand'. Recently my friends and I have been playing on LAN. One of the other guys uses last stand as a perk which gets him a lot of kills because we play on hardcore mode. I think its really really cheap. He insists that because its 'part of the game' its all fair. The main issue is he's easily the best FPS'er out of all of us anyway and he really doesn't need it to win. 2 of us are against it, and 2 for it. I don't enjoy playing with him at all because of it.
Whats the general consensus on it?

I find Last Stand to be pretty useless. I've been killed by it...maybe once or twice. The only thing I hate about it is someone snagging your kill after you put someone on last stand, THAT pisses me off.
If you want to call something cheap, I'd say complain about martyrdom, but even that can be easily avoided in most situations.

Martyrdom and Juggernaut are WAY fucking cheaper. I'm not sure if you are, but if you are using martyrdom you have no reason to bitch. At least Last Stand takes some skill to kill somebody, martyrdom doesn't require shit. Yeah I use last stand. I dont use martyrdom, noob tube, juggernaut, or snipe, yet I have a 76% "unsporting" rep rating most likely because of last stand. As long as people are using martyrdom and juggernaut, I'm gonna continue to use last stand.

I've got no issue with anyone using any of the perks. I think I actually get killed more often from Last Stand users than with Martyrdom. I just always assume people have Martyrdom and stay back. Only time it gets me is in a tight space where I can't get out quickly but it's pretty rare. It's lame that someone would give you a bad rep for using Last Stand though. I guess I could see people getting annoyed because rather than getting the full kill points, a lot of time a teammate will swoop in and get the points and you wind up with the measly single point.Lionheart1827 said:

Yeah I know its ridiculous how many people give me bad rep for unsporting conduct. Last stand is the only thing I can think of that they can complain about. I never cheat and try to get out of the map or any of that garbage either. I'm as fair a player as they come. I mean, I dont mind people using perks(aside from maybe noob tubing when you are a high level player), but when you go and report people over it, its retarded as hell. It's like just like "dude play the game and get better."
Anyways, I still enjoy the hell out of this game. And I'm enjoying the beta of the new one and cant wait to start up again. I just made level 10 prestige in cod4 last week so my goal is complete!
I rarely see people complaining about Last Stand, if anything that person should be praised for getting kills with it. It's pretty easy to get kills with Last Stand if you are on the right terrain (ie not on a slope, as slopes can screw up aiming). I've shot people from 50 feet away or so with Last Stand and gotten kills that way. Even better in hardcore.
The G3 is a great weapon whether it's TDM or hardcore. Obviously it's even more useful in hardcore because of it's strength of one shot kills and range. I personally hate the M14 because of the recoil and iron sights.
Juggernaut might only be cheap if you're not using Juggernaut or Stopping Power yourself. I used to think Jugs was cheap, then I thought of it that way and it makes more sense to me.

I just hate how the multiplayer in Cod4 has spoiled me. I am unable to enjoy any other game (except MGS4) since it came out. I love the way they set up games, instead of waiting for players to be ready, you get a long enough timeframe.
Regarding perks I hate the Last Stand, Martyrdom and Juggernauts out there. Only time I had the last stand perk is to get the Challenge and thats it. Also, Search & Destroy is the best mode in the game, doesn't matter if hardcore or normal.

I love the G3. I hated the hell out of it at first because of the damage, but once I got accustomed to firing fast with the trigger, and noticing its high accuracy, I fell in love with it. I can't stand he M14. The shot gun like kickback is so terrible.
I personally would go with the P90 while making good use of the iron sights. It's just my personal preference of course since it has low recoil, fires fast, is fairly accurate, large magazine, and reloads fairly quickly (If you interrupt the reloading animation with a quick sprint when your HUD indicates the bullets have been loaded). I tend to couple it with the silencer, UAV jammer perk, and the extreme conditioning perk for stealth goodness. The silencer and UAV jammer will keep you off the radar while extreme conditioning will take advantage of a glitch with the P90 that allows you to run for a very long time. As long as you manage to keep the opposing team from noticing you, you'll almost always be able to take them by surprise.Jack Scofield said:

Where the hell are the new playlists. Why is this taking so long.
Unfortunately, PC players have gotten the short end of the stick from Infinity Ward. We're still lacking in the features department compared to the Xbox 360 version. It's nothing too severe though. We still have a few glitches (Mainly weapons related stuff. AK-47 and its attachments still reduce damage which could be easily fixed by changing a few lines in the respective files. Other misc. weapons stuff like that.) and lack a few fancy features (Kill cam and etc.).
This game has the worst mods and ugliest custom maps I have
ever seen in my life. 2 of my favorite servers have changed
from the original game. One simply added custom maps; most
of which suck. The other installed some stupid sniper mod (it was
a Bolt Sniper Only server; but we relied on the honor system..
and admins to kick people who didn't follow the rules) that
assigns each team to different sides of a map (an ugly map).
Each team is separated by some invisible wall. Oh God it's bad.
Talking about the PC version obviously.
I hope future CoD games aren't moddable, and that they allow
more options in server set up (perk and weapon restriction, etc)

All perks are greatness, none of them are chea. They all just add to the balance of the game. Everything can be countered. People just bitch because they have their own personal play styles and don't like dieing. Snipers will hate juggernaut users because they can survive most shots and claymores. Campers hate Frag x 3 and noob tubes because it makes it easier for the other team to kill them. Run and gunners hate campers because they like to just run into an area with an SMG and juggernaut and lay waste but it's hard when people are focused on entry points or choke points or spawn points ready to fire. Etc etc. The list goes on and on but that's what makes the game so great. Every style has something to counter it and when you hear crying in the lobby you know you just did a good job.
It's one of the more disappointing aspects of the World at War beta. Spawn camping seems to be almost guaranteed victory so far.

This reminds me of an idea I have for spawning in games like CoD. When it is time for the player to respawn, insert them as a ghost into the level, turn off their ability to see other players, and then let them position exactly where they want to spawn. Then they press a button and PRESTO, they spawn where they want; not where the game decides they should be.
- Not seeing or hearing the other players will prevent them from plotting surprise kills.
- If you insert a countdown (10 seconds, for instance), you will be able to limit their spawn area. This allows current spawn logic to still have a beneficial effect.

Sounds nice.. but what would stop people from abusing it? I could see a team of 8 people respawning themselves all in one building, or when you get killed by a sniper, respawn yourself right behind where he is. And then in modes like War or HQ or CTF, there are problems there too.
Personally I don't think it is possible to make a game that doesn't have spawn problems. However, CoD4 at least got it somewhat right with you spawning close to teammates. On one hand when you spawn, you at least have some help very close by. On the other hand we have all been part of TDM games were you annihilate a team in their spawn because they keep respawning near each other. But eventually the spawn does reset and start putting them on the opposite end of the map.
That is far superior to World at War, which seems to just randomly spawn you in various places. I have played teams of 6 clan members who just watched spawn areas and you had no chance to do much of anything.
Bumblebeetuna said:
Well you said yourself that they are already spawning together right? Even if it were coordinated, it seems more like strategy than abuse. As for dropping in on snipers, that part is mitigated by the ghost spawn point combined with the limited time to reposition yourself. 5-10 seconds is not long enough to traverse the length of the map to get at a sniper, but it's plenty of time to avoid getting spawn killed.

Hey snipers.

The AK thing he speaks of is that for some odd reason, the AK does it's most damage without any attachments. Once you attach a RDS or Silencer for example, the damage slightly goes down.
I don't think it's a glitch, since other weapons also have this querk, but as far as I know, it's never been patched on console either. It might be a design decision, though I have no clue why they would do this.

Man, the 24/7 Killhouse server is making regaining all my guns and working towards my camo on PC a breeze. That map is mad fun, in a very uncompetitive sort of way.
Why? :-/Jack Scofield said:Hey snipers.
Fuck you all.
Because it's easier? In Sabotage, people "know" where the enemies are, and almost everyone will try to get the bomb, so you'll find them near the bomb. Another reason could be the length of Team Deathmatch Games - they're pretty short, imo.PacoDG said:A growing trend I find when playing Sabotage, people who play just to kill. I play to win and love it when I can end a match in a minute or two instead of taking the full 20 minutes. Why don't they play Team Deathmatch

How are earth are people shooting me in the middle of their reload animation? Are they using some kind of glitch, or is the result of lag during the Killcam?
Nizz
Member
Yeah, I remember this happening to me plenty of times when watching the Killcam. I was like WTF? How did that happen? I miss this game. Far Cry 2 finally pulled me away from COD 4 multiplayer. Well, the single player of Far Cry 2. I touched the multiplayer once and it was competent. Haven't tried the mapmaker yet. I suspect I'll come back to COD 4, maybe after the holidays. Who am I kidding, I'll probably hop on sometime sooner....Jack Scofield said:

Are we ever going to get those new playlists?
402 : "we're working on it, the new playlists will be available in two or three years"
lolz.
And we want some fucking new maps ! One year, three new maps (not 4, i'm playing three add maps, the smallest is ridiculous and not included in the playlists), are you kidding me ?
But i'm sure they don't want to kill COD5 before its release giving (oh, selling) us new maps on COD4. :/

Buying the first map packs practically places you in the "elite" league of players. Now I never see people below the first prestige level, and I'm often the lowest ranked player in the room (46 Prestige 2).
As a result, my stats have suffered. Badly. :lol

I don't think Activision is interested in generating and perpetuating a community around any one Call of Duty given that it's basically a yearly franchise now. Modern Warfare users are getting a new map pack and even a mod for the campaign, it's called Call of Duty: World at War and you'll pay 60$ for it.
One map pack was enough to keep us interested and playing until the next Call of Duty came out. The lack of content support is probably a subtle prod to get users to move on to the next flavor of the month. Same thing will probably happen with World at War.
