I thought you bled out in 5 seconds.(?) I've never used it, but it seems like people end up dying within a certain amount of time.TiVo said:
I've taken to putting an extra few bullets into people I've killed if I'm at close range - there are a lot of people using last stand these days.
EDIT: Beaten by Cerrius.
Cerrius said:
I want to say its a bit longer than 4 seconds, but yes, you do bleed out eventually - giving your killer points for killing you. If someone else comes along and kills you out while you are in Last Stand mode they'll get the full kill amount and the person who downed you will get an assist.
So I open up my email client today and, to my giddy surprise, there's one new message. I hastily click "Inbox" to be greeted with an email from the Xbox Team. At this point, I'm like YES, FINALLY IM IN MOFOS. I click before I fully read the title- and, much to my chagrin, turns out it was a message telling me to renew Gold.
Awesome.
Awesome.

The recoil on the AK-47 makes it very tough to use. I've been switching between the M4 and the M16. The burst fire actually doesn't bother me too much w/ the M16 - it only occasionally gives me problems at close range.
Cerrius said:
Try doing some damage assessments. The AK47 isn't a junker, its extremely powerful. In the right hands it is absolutely DEVASTATING. Do not underestimate it. Yes, it is far less accurate than the M4, but what it lacks in finesse it makes up for in brute force.
Plus, how hardcore does it feel to be rolling w/ an AK?! I <3 the AK, especially on maps like Crash that have lots of close/medium range fighting. The M4 wins hands down on maps like Overgrown, to be sure.

:lol @ Last Stand
you're a dummy if you use that
the animation is bad that I can tell if you're going to pull the pistol out. In that case I run away so you can't hit me. Last night this guy kept running to get me in an attic. I kept killing him but his last stand animation started so I ran around a corner. Guy kept shooting at nothing until he +10 for me :lol

Yeah, the email on mine is dated ~40 minutes ago. So there is still a chance for those waiting to get in. Good Luck!Grecco said:So tokens are still going out? And i dont have one
edit: Oh, and for those of you who sent more than one email, I sent two emails and still got in. Just an FYI.

Last Stand is awesome! Many guys exactly like you keep forgetting that you need to shoot to kill and kill when they're on the ground in order to confirm a death. Back in the press event I kept slaughtering guys and racking up +20 xp because they run away thinking I can't hit them.jobber said:
Hey lvl 11 guys, I need to man up quick. What are your favorite custom selections?

I shouldn't have brought this to work. I've been playing in between builds and during lunch and now I'm just completely addicted to it. I love last stand as well. Here's my little story about it.
I was in a fire fight between two rooms with some guy where we were trying to trade shots through the doorway and I was trying to shoot through the wall to hit him. He had a couch on his end so I was also trying to fire throught he couch as he ducked behind it. He kills me so I fire back with last stand to which I kill him by shooting through the couch. However, upon replay of the kill cam, it turns out I did kill him first and he was down behind the couch in last stand shooting at me through the couch. So I killed him, he last stand killed me, and then I put him down while I was in last stand. Absolutely kick ass =)

I've been using...TekunoRobby said:
M4 w/ Laser Dot
Perk1: RPG or Special Grenades
Perk2: Stopping power (I don't aim well, so this helps)
Perk3: Extreme Conditioning or Deep Impact
I play sort of mid-range, so it's a good setup for me. It's pretty versatile.

I really like that the challenges give you some incentive to try other types of weapons.

Cerrius said:holy freaking shit, I've just discovered the joy of Light Machine Gun + Stopping Power + Deep Impact. Shooting people through walls has NEVER been so much fun
Yes it is nice, I have also watch my accuracy % slowly fall since I started mixing that gun into the rotation as well, go figure :lol

Damnit, checked my emails, "You have 1 new email". Clicked on the link in joy that it might be the COD4-Login-details, instead it was some "Enlarge your penis"-mail... HATE HATE HATE.

Only thing making me scratch my head a bit are the footstep sounds being so low.
They seemed much more audible in CoD2 and I could always tell when someone was coming up stairs or if they were below me. I haven't been able to do that in CoD4 though, not sure if it's because the game is more fast paced with alot more gunfire noise or what.
As it is now, I don't see how dead silence will be a useful perk since footstep sounds haven't played a big role in the 17 hours I've played this beta.

Footsteps sounds fine to me. I'm playing with a decent 5.1 system though so that might be the case.

Ditto. Sometimes it's hard to figure out the direction they're coming from, but I can hear the footsteps pretty clearly, particularly on wood floor.TekunoRobby said:

Seems like he stops sending invites around 10pm est. And he's prob sending invites to late emailers if anything.

I messed up my cod name in email as well. I put tD MistWalk3r instead of tDMistwalker. But its funny they sent tokens to people who clearly put countries in email not allowed in yet. So who knows.

Some people have been complaining about this, and a few of them noted that it happens when you strafe on the stairs. Though it hasn't happened to me yet.jobber said:

Just to clarify a few questions about last stand which may or may not have been answered.
When you get C4ed or any other explosive death, does Last Stand come into effect still? (ie: where you should be fragged to bits)
How about headshots? Do you still survive a bullet to the head with Last Stand?

In 'Perks' video it said that headshots and explosives were counters to Last Stand.
