I just came here to add that All Ghillied Up is amazing. Who would've thought my favorite mission so far in an FPS is one where you hardly shoot!
was awesome suspense, and it also really made me appreciate the graphics for some reason.

Yeah, its easily my favorite level. But the ferris wheel part on anything above normal is a NIGHTMARE. Not only do you have tons of guys on your ass at all times, but they send dogs after you too.
At the end, I just sort of cheated my way out of that part.

I found a nice comfy corner to hold down with a shotgun and it was no problem (normal diff). What do you mean cheated? I saw a youtube video that said it was cheating but I don't exactly understand what the cheat was...Mojovonio said:
btw that ferris wheel part is the level after All Ghillied Up. Both are awesome though.
The Lamonster said:
Well,
I set my C4s on all of the cars, so it would amplify the explosion, and 3 or 4 C4 bbehind the ferris wheel to clear my escape.. Then I set claymores facing the area the enemies come from around the hut to beside the bumper cars. I take out my sidearm (AK47 at that time), go in to that hut, go prone, go as far back as I can, facing the door and stay there. Grenades outside wont hurt you, enemies will run right by you, and if someone manages to get a grenade in, you can easily toss it out.
I sit an wait till the chopper comes in, then wait some more till I hear the 30 second warning. From there, I detonate the C4, take out any straggelrs and bolt out behind the ferris wheel, pick Macmillan up and make my way to the chopper.
Sometimes, you'll die for now reason while hiding, but keep trying that method and you'll get it.

Its basically a glitch since you're supposed to be facing towards the pool. But if you can get across towards the buildings, you basically become invisible to enemies, thus why its a cheat. The enemies will not come towards you since that area wasn't meant to be used as cover.

What do the claymores do? Are they like auto turrets or more like trip mines?

?!
Claymore's are a directional explosive device that is triggered once a target moves into its blast radius.

Is anyone else having problems getting a clan tag to work? I've had it unlocked for quite some time, but every time I try to input one it gives me the "tag forbidden" message or something like that. I've tried [GAF], [NeoG], [NGAF], etc... and it really doesn't matter what I put in there. Strange bug(?) and I haven't heard of anyone else with similar problems.

Nope. I just click the letters, hit the start button, and it gives me the warning.Masta_Killah said:

That's very strange. Well, at least if you're going to experience a glitch, this is probably the best one to get!Cornballer said:

Try using a test clan name and see if it does it with that as well. Maybe clearing your cache might help?

I'll give the cache clearing a shot tonight. I've tried lots of different clan names and it always does the same thing.Masta_Killah said:

The ending was memorable and satisfying, that has earned it a star in my book. So many games these days that just fall flat on their face when the time comes to wrap everything up, but not this one.

God, the online stats are frustrating the hell out of me. I keep dropping like 4 or 5 levels from the last time I played. For a game like Warhawk or something it's not a huge deal, but I when I lose weapons, attachments, game types, challenge scores, ect. it makes me not want to play.

(If I'm thinking of the right level) Airstrikes/sprinting/prone are your friends (in that order).Gowans007 said:

I've had 1 instance where I lost a level, exp (and an attachment I had subsequently unlocked), right around when Live was having some issues... but I got the kills back pretty quick.
Having said that, you don't loose rank/exp normally, so something isn't right (and especially loosing 4-5 levels)

I'm on the PS3 and take last night for instance. I log in as level 9, play for an hour and quit at level 11. Log in this morning, I'm at level 7. Kinda sucks.railGUN said:

Go inside the barn on the right. Kill the enemies coming across by the houses. Make your way to the houses, staying as far right as possible(there is a opening on the right). Make sure you go to the farthest right side. Checkpoint. From here go straight. Go down and towards the tower on the left. Prone and start crawling towards the left. Your buddies should show up. Once you get hit with a bullet(should be when one of your guys starts running towards the house), make a mad dash to the house(door on the right of you). Now go to the first floor. Wait till you recover and can make a full dash. Now dash towards the dirt path straight ahead. You'll see a house on your left. Keep runnning and fall down the little hill. Now run towards the white fence on the right. Run between the fence and hedge. Once you see the hill on your left, run down it. If the chopper isn't there yet, run across the street and go prone. You should have a lot of airstrikes left over, so use it on the hill where you ran down.
This is my first CoD title. Some random thoughts:
I know the OP states that the missions aren't always "at 11" like the first three CoD titles, but if these aren't always "at 11" I don't know what "at 11" is. I've played a LOT of FPS, including Bioshock, Halo, and Orange Box just this fall, and CoD4 just has an intensity that the others just can't match.
It's to the point where it's ALMOST hard for me to keep playing it because the firefights honestly stress me out. It's almost TOO visceral, and I have to keep my play sessions short, to just a couple missions, because I begin to feel drained. It's not like it's too "hard" - the checkpoints are liberal and I don't mind retrying sections.
It's just that like... every mission seems to be start-to-end "OK OMG THERE'S THREE GUYS ON THE ROOF OK I GOT TWO OF THEM BUT ONE SHOT ME IN THE FACE AND NOW I SEE THE GRENADE INDIACTOR BY MY FEET AND IM FLASHBANGED AND SOMEHOW GUYS FLANKED ME AND MY PARTNERS ARE ALL SCREAMING AND OMG MY CLIP IS EMPTY RELOAD RELOAD" pretty much the entire level.
I'm not CRITICIZING the pacing, but I'm not complimenting it either. I'm just saying the game has an intensity unlike any title I've played in recent memory.

Don't put your C4's by the cars. Put them in the woods between the buildings were the enemy appears. Find a position on the ferris wheel base with a bumper car as cover. Trust McMillan because he is one hell of a shot. The C4's and the dogs will drop the enemy amount considerably because the dogs attack the soldiers also. Just use your skills and shoot those soldiers. You just have to be good enough to clear them before the choppers come.
Shoot the soldiers as they come down the ropes from the chopper. Yeah its not easy but you can see the choppers come one after the other except the last two I think. Always have your AK ready to swap immediately if necessary. If all else fails run all the way to where the soldiers appear at the very beginning and make a left wait in that area but get cover. Thats where most of them spawn causing them to not spawn [but I know your a hard ass Sniper Special Force badass so I know thats not for you ;-)]. Also keep an eye on that chopper coming to get you. Moving around helps. All this on Hardened. Oorah!
Does anyone else have a blister on their left thumb from sprinting?
I have the 360 version, and I probably sprint around a 100 times each MP game. I hold the stick a little under the indention and now every time I sprint it's a little painful. I wish their a bit mre variety when it comes too custom button layout, otherwise I'm having a blast.

I think you can just tap it - then if you continue to push in a direction, it will continue to sprint even if you don't have the stick depressed. That's what I started doing - less wear and tear on my thumb.Lancelet Pink said:
