COD 4 Beta Thread

Do a lot of cities in Australia have a fat fiber pipe connecting their internets to the USA?

I have played online with a lot of Aussies over the years, and their ping rates were fabulous. I remember playing Total Annihilation with a couple of guys from Perth many eons ago.

I played COD4 Beta with a few Aussies last night, and their pings were great as well.

thats the point..im surprised how much ppl whined about weapons..god lord i still use my m16 with scope and got a lot of kills
Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that at some point, every weapon would be said to be too powerful. Seems they're completely right. All it ever ends up reading like is, "I get killed a lot, so tone down this weapon kthnxbye." etc.

The only valid points he has is spawns and overly far shotgun range.

In any case, <3 the M16. I dropped my Carbine (primarily Overgrown usage) in a hurry as soon as I picked it up. It sucks badly up close, but with the right layout you can kill people from everywhere else in one trigger pull. Headshot, torso, through walls, doesn't matter... and great accuracy to boot. :lol
 
May sound like a silly question but i can't find the answer anywhere:

I got RPGs or a Grenade Launcher on my semi... how do I use it? How do I use those weapons?

That some of the range on the light machine guns and SAW. Also how ridiculously effective the auto sniper is at close range.

What's with the Uzi complaints? When I first picked it up off the ground (just got off work was still level 11), I thought hey finally a machine gun type weapon that requires some skill to use. It had actual recoil and the clip seemed to go really fast.

I was doing pretty well by myself tonight, had the GAF clan tag on, couple guys sent me FR and voice messages asking if they could join my clan. :lol



Not too fond of the Uzi thus far, but only because of the recoil really. The Skorpion just feels much more stable overall. I may test out a few choices before I fully make up my mind on that.
 
Been playing a lot more, hit rank 16 and really enjoying this game. I am a pretty mediocre shot so I usually get a 1:1 kill-to-death ratio but it is pretty fun just rushing in and gunning with the MP5. Think it's my favorite weapon so far.

what is the highest level in the final game? cause there is a perk or a challenge which is available at level 55.
There hasn't been an announcement yet as to what the level cap will be in the final game.
 
After playing this for several hours now, reaching both level caps within a few hours, and having loved it for a long time, I am starting to pull back and see some of the flaws. Most of the game consists of shooting as many people in the back as possible before someone does it to you. Some of the weapons are heavily imbalanced, and while I realize this is a beta, the netcode is really sketchy sometimes. It is fun, though, whatever flaws I can see, and like with Halo 2 (which I played for two years regularly), a good team is really needed to have as much fun with it as possible. Most of the problems I have during games is really the result of my frustration with the team I have been matched up with (often not even at all, I've seen a 6 vs. 1 game start up, which is completely unacceptable). I don't really know where I'm going with this anymore, so I'll sum it up: Fun game, has flaws, but I'm still playing regularly despite them.
 
Played some games with Chars and Besada today. I'm really getting tired of the damn saws and the shooting through walls perks. Played a couple guys on Overgrown who just camped in one building and shot everyone through the walls with the saws.
 
Does anyone else get that extremely satisfying feeling whenever you hear the *clink* from shooting someone in the head with the bolt-action sniper?
 
I just played with some random GAFer...My GT is RyoGCH and I had the GAF clan tag. Was first in every game I played with you I think. My roommate ILOVEASIANS was also in the game.

Anyone else annoyed by the weak pistol sounds? They all sound the same, and they all sound pretty weak. That's my only real complaint in the entire beta though. Still loving it.
 
The pistols fucking suck, I was hoping the Colt .45 would be a step up, but it has the exact same description as the USP and doesn't seem anymore powerful. I swear I've unloaded entire clips in people from pretty close range and they'll just turn around and kill me. :(

I'm not asking for a Halo 1 pistol, but I remember pistols being legit killers in Socom 2 when you ran out of ammo or something.
 
Yeah, unless you get the headshot the pistols aren't very useful. I always switch my pistol out for another rifle whenever I find one.

I've actually gotten quite a few pistol kills when I've ran out of ammo with my main gun/rpg, or during last stand. I think I was using the USP though, not the new Colt .45.

That was me I have ran into a few random GAFers today as well as unholy yesterday.

I think I've gotten one pistol kill...maybe. My problem is when I get a streak going and run out of ammo. I usually run around frantically trying to find a gun lying around, but sometimes get caught with my pistol out.

Why are you using a pistol? Why is anyone? As soon as I kill anyone I immediately take their weapon and replace my pistol with what they were carrying.

People, you do know that you can do this right?

Hence I'll carry my standard issue M4 Silenced, and then whatever weapon i.e. Another M4, or preferably a close in weapon (Scorpion or Uzi).

Wow I actually didnt know you could do that... what happens if you last stand with no pistol?

Yes I know that, but if pistols are going to be that useless in the final game why even have them? I use the M16 almost exclusively, and when I run into a tight place I have to switch to my pistol, the M16 sucks for up close fighting.
 
I've gotten plenty of pistol kills when I've run out of ammo, or didn't want to get killed while reloading my main rifle. Weird thing is if I kill them with a pistol, they just drop their pistol, no rifle to be found.

I usually use my knife for very close quarters, but if not, I'll switch to pistol, which is faster than reloading.

I've hardly ever had any problems using the pistol. They are not that useless. I've gotten a few kills with them (when I couldn't find a suitable secondary)

I hate last stand and have never used it (nor would I ever) so I don't know. Perhaps you just lay there looking stupid?
 
Well hell boys, I guess if you all have never had a problem with them then they're fine!

When can we set up a game between us where you all just use the pistols and then you can show me how good you are.

i no rite

Overgrown is an awesome map, get an M16 and own snipers, or get a sniper and own everyone else, good times. Crash is still the best though...I'm assuming their might be a snow level considering one of the camo's, that would be fun.
 
Ramirez said:
I'd also gladly embarrass you anytime you want Ando.

I've played with you before.

Plus, this game takes little skill remember? What is there to be embarrassed about? Also, how would this even be set up in the beta? We'd have to just get lucky and be pitted against one another.

There are a few things wrong with the beta. One of those things is weird hit boxes.

are you sure that's hitboxes and not lag. everything i've seen involving this has been lag, which you can typically confirm with the killcam, which shows what the server actually saw at the time of the kill.
 
Ramirez said:

not fair. too much lag


where the fuck are the dedicated servers, ms? 50 beans should get me servers. If Sony can do it for free, there's no reason why you can't.

I agree the main problem seems to be latency, which happens in every shooter that you play online. For the most part the beta has been silky smooth though.
