I'm playing through the game on the PS3. One thing I noticed is that the game very rarely hits 60fps in SP. How is the framerate on the 360? I actually own both versions but I beat the TV studio first on the PS3 (and couldn't beat it a second time for some reason on the 360) so I just stuck with it on the triple. Anyway, just curious. I know MP on the 360 rarely falls below 60fps.

360 has the same framerate issues IMO. During every firefight

Has anyone been having stat lag on the PS3 version? It seems like every time I login to play that may stats are backed up a little from where I was before the last time I quit.
PC version has online issues too. I was getting lots of failed connections and didn't know wtf was up until someone on a forbidden forum pointed out that COD4 will always fail to connect while the server browser is refreshing :lol
I think that if COD4 gets the full Steam integration treatment, with access to its server browser and friends list, it will be my murder simulator of choice for quite a while.

Why are we blaming XBL for Activision's problems? Halo 3 is working fine, so is private chat and xboxlive.com.

I was having problem connecting in R6: Vegas and Marvel: UA yesterday as well so I would say it is a Live problem.AdmiralViscen said:

Yea, yesterday it was live. xboxlive.com didn't work, didn't try Halo.

Just got done playing a long run on the Playstation Network. I love this game online! I just wish hardcore mode was default. It's frustrating getting the drop on a guy, shooting him, only to have him turn around and headshot you from the hip. :\ It should be whoever gets the drop first wins!

I thought the issues with Activision's servers was taken care of yesterday. :|
This is the same crashing/'downloading settings' error as before right? Hitting all platforms? Happened to me once yesterday, I had to restart my PS3 since it hung in the loading screen and when I got back in it looked like my custom classes were gone. Luckily they were still there, just the names were missing. Still a pain in the ass.
EDIT: shit it's gone again. I hate renaming these damn classes.

It happened to me. It's just IW servers not sending out the info. Your stat should be fine.
What sucks is that my clan tag keeps clearing and so do the names of all my custom classes.
Servers at IW seem to be down cause I can't get a game going through PSN, PSN is working fine though.
Well, I've been sitting here on the PS3 watching "DOWNLOADING GAME SETTINGS" for 10 minutes now.calder said:
TF2 fucking up on my PC last night, COD4 on PS3 today. I should just go play Bioshock on 360 instead. (mandated) Single player experiences for the win.

Don't worry it goes back to where you were at, but when it says 'downloading game settings' it shows a 1 for rank until it connects.~Devil Trigger~ said:my PSN is stuck on "Downloading Game settings"

The game has done it to me several times until it finally times out or some shit then says "You must be connected to PSN" When I am indeed connected to PSN! I quit the game and I was still signed into PSN and everything plus Warhawk worked perfect too.
I think there network code is a little janky but when it works it's smooth until I get a Connection Interrupted message then I'm booted.
Also people are reporting this across all versions....
Yeah hopefully they can patch it or something. It's been working for me on and off, last night it was fine.bishoptl said:Well, I've been sitting here on the PS3 watching "DOWNLOADING GAME SETTINGS" for 10 minutes now.

sometimes it just seems like I have a peashooter in some games online.
like, in one game I was dominating, I was picking off other people easily and my gun felt nice and powerful. Next server I go on (still free for all) I feel like my gun has a 3rd of the power, and some parts are just straight up hilarious.
I ran into this guy on a stairwell (for something I didnt think about knifing) but my gun was pointing at his head to the point where I couldent walk forward anymore, then I pulled the trigger and let loose maybe 10 bullets into his skull, yet him firing two shots in my chest with the same DAMN GUN killed me and he walked away just fine.

15 hours MP played, time for some suggestions. So far I'd say it's GOTY for me , so bear in mind that when you read some suggestions I have, these are just things that would make the amazing experience even better. It has more to do with the lobby system then the actual core gameplay though.
+When you have a killing streak and get a chopper, it cancels the airstrike if you haven't used it yet. Imho you should keep the airstrike if you haven't used it yet.
+Map rotation is very random, some maps never show up, others are on all the time (Missile Silo map I'm looking at you).
+Some people say that server lists are a thing of the past, but I've always enjoyed picking my own server, seeing which map is on and how the connection is. A quick play option and advanced search should become available, where quick search is what we have now and advanced search you see a server list or can choose which map you want to play.
+When the hosts drop the game someone else should become host, don't drop the entire game.
+I would like to have an option to create a dedicated server with my console, I know not many people would have their consoles running and doing this but even if a small percentage of people did this it would be very nice for the community as a whole.
+I hope Activision fixes the servers this week, because I spent half the time waiting to download settings, then some time finding a match etc. Meh.

yeah, that is annoying.
a lot of times I would get my radar in the middle of a firefight and would kill two more guys to get the airstrike and lose my chacne to use the radar. It sucks because I needed that Radar to see where I could call in an airstrike, so then I have to hold onto the airstrike until someone else gets radar and it is just a mess.

It's not good graces, it's their duty. They want money, then they need to put in the time. IW should've went with Dedicated Servers though, as a couple Sony games with dedicated servers really shows how terrible p2p games are.
Anyways, if it's the same thing as last night, my friend couldn't get onto Halo 3 either when we were trying to play some CoD4 and it wasn't working. Maybe there's troubles across the boards getting into games, though you can sign into XBL still like last night?
Plant your claymores close (-ish) to you, near cars when possible. After the helicopters start coming in, make the area behind the bumpercars your last stand. Be a badass with your sniper rifle, and keep an AK-47 or a G3 (or etc) on hand for when the bastards get close.Shawn128 said:
