COD 4 Beta Thread

As many complaints as I've had with the game, I've never had a game where it was just constant camping, guess I'm just lucky.

I haven't played much the last 3-4 days though.

Pretty much. The new guys camp just as much, if not moreso, than the players who have been around for a while.

The problem now is that there's more of "them" in total. :lol

I had a FFA on Overgrown where the guy did nothing but camp the 2nd floor of the partly destroyed building near the wooden barn bridge. Everytime he killed someone he'd go "this is my house" over and over just to piss people off. Using a C4/shotgun combo he never came out of that spot unless he was killed. In which case, he'd run right back up there afterwards. If no one came up for a while, he'd just use the mounted gun in the window and either kill people or entice someone to go up there to get him.

rofl i love when pepole camp up there.

Theres like 4 ways to get an granade up there, 2 of which people never suspect.
 
Camping is becoming a real problem, but the killcam, being able to shoot through walls, airstrikes do help balance it out at times. If you know were the guy is wether it be the killcam or UAV and hes campin a corner, just spray at the wall, works a treat sometimes.
 
Hey, I was wondering if anyone is up to playing some 2v2s or 3v3s on tactical.

Admittedly, "Deep Impact" has saved my arse a lot of times, especially when I'm blind firing after being flashed or stunned.

Have to agree, same has happened here alot of times, part of the game i guess.
 
One of the buildings in overgrown with the shelves. I can gaurantee you someone will be camping there. Its happened virtually in every game.

So it should be easy for you to find someone to kill each time?

That's amateur hour camping. My fav (lolz) camping witnessed was fuckers that go on top of various rooftops and go prone in a way that not even their snipe rifles stick out. If you don't play with snipies to conuteract, you are pretty well fucked.
 
I havent played in 2-3 days but I played every day since I got in besides that and have seen no real camping.. now im afraid to play.. i loved the game (and hopefully still will)

No doubt. No adays i just run to the different spots where i KNOW people will be there

Attic and the shelve in overgrown, blue building and the 3 floor building in crash. ect ect. I have a route of hotspots i visit to see if theres people and go on to the next place

What pisses me off though are spawn campers. Ive seen people stay infront of the spawn points in vacant for entire matches just to spawn kill

My personal fav is the n00bs lying down at a choke point or better yet, at the inside corner of a building with a shotgun, waiting for someone to walk by.

where do they go to spawn kill? Spawns are fairly dynamic. Now if you mean they stay in popular spawn areas...that seems fine to me, spawns are fairly dynamic lol.

Hmm Outside near the Cargo Boxes in Vacant? Ive seen a guy stay the entire match near that area aiming at the spawn point.
 
As of now, I find the M4 a bit overpowered, and also the auto sniper rifle is a bit... iffy. Also, the ACOG, i haven't found a decent use for this, the Red Dot is superior for most guns in almost any given situation, and who would trade increased range but decreased accuracy? Also, the grenade launcher is starting to piss me off :(

lol ow, you think he's less spawn camping and more camping in an area he's less likely to get stabbed by random traffic? cuz there are like 6 probable spawn spheres (from what i've counted....cuz i'm OCD like that) in the outside area. side entrance, trash hole, cargo crates, water tower, oil truck, and tool shed.

You make the floors nice and squeaky clean, I see, camper.

:lol
That's where I usually get my first kill then MOVE is what I meant. I actually use it every time to PREVENT campers on that 3rd floor.
As others have said I still don't run into campers. Is it because I am one my self?:D NO!
But there are so many dummies running through the middle of Crash of course I'm going to crouch down and pick off some easy prey.
I play 99% TDM and 100% of the time my teams have had no issues with campers. Personally once I hear our teams UAV go up I check the map and head to where 3-4 of the enemies are at. My 100" screen helps me find 'em real easy.:D

If you want run and gun I suggest the Unreal Tournament series and it's ridiculously speedy characters. COD4 would play stupid that way.

Find an area kill an enemy or two and move on. You can't be scoring well if you are pushing forward on the left thumbstick the entire time.

The red dot is much better than the ACOG simply for the reason that it takes up less space on your screen. I used the ACOG all of 5 minutes before switching back to the red dot.

Do you know how utterly boring that game would be? There would be 6 different people all laying on the ground somewhere waiting for one of the other snipers to move.

I've stopped playing COD4 completely. The problem with the game is that if you actually decide to move around, you're going to die. There are too many random spawns, combined with the people who just hide in a corner. And since COD4 doesn't have a health system that allows you to return fire when you get shot (you just die immediately), what's the point of even trying? This game downright encourages people to not move. That's my problem with the game. Now I'm not saying that everyone camps, but the gameplay is not an improvement over the previous Call of Duty games. It's the same system packaged with nicer graphics and some new abilities.

Naw. Laying on the ground waiting won't get you very far. The (smart and) aggressive team is likely going to come out on top. That's the key on the small-scale matches; moving carefully, communicating, flanking, etc.

It discourages moving-without-thinking. Even on the high-speed games (Domination, TDM), the players who place themselves and move with skill are going to have a big advantage. That's why you'll hear comments like CitizenCope's; someone running through a big open area without having a handle on the situation are more-likely to get shot in their silly, silly head.

I can see this being a complaint in the Hardcore ("realistic damage") playlists, but I don't think those have been seen in the Beta. And anyone who chooses to play in a Hardcore mode shouldn't be complaining about quick deaths. =)

To be fair it is very easy to die even on the current beta settings.

What I'm not liking is the fact that it seems the game revolves around shooting as many people in the back as possible before someone else shoots you in the back. I can still have fun in the game but if there's one thing I hate it's that.

That's not a problem with the game. That's a problem with you being weaksauce. I can move very well on any map, and am consistently coming out with scores of 17 kills and 9 deaths.

Hell, I got 31 kills and 9 deaths on overgrown using the big Russian machine gun, and then proceeded to get 22 kills soon after using the Uzi! The game is incredibly well balanced, and I honestly think your perceived flaws are due in part to you perhaps not understanding the game.

Yea, I move around CONSTANTLY, and I do fine.
 
Well, I've been feasting on noobs all night, just posted a 36-8 on Crash a min. ago, but yea, every game has been littered with people using the regular ironsight guns. :lol :P
 
LOL, I signed up for the COD4-site ca. 2-3 weeks ago and still don't have my confirmation-email, now I get a newsletter from Activision:

Bitches..
 
Even in FFA when I come first I never have a positive ratio.
I'm getting shot in the back and sniped, ALL THE TIME! It's getting fucking boring, I shouldn't have to turn around every 5 seconds to make sure no-one's spawned behind me.

Last night I came first on Vacant FFA with 23 kills and 39 deaths in a full match played from begining to end.
