Support NeoGAF

[raYne]

One thing I would like to get out there. The game will eat unexperienced players alive when they first start. If you get a disadvantage it REALLY is a disadvantage. You can pick up your opponents powered up weapons which evens things out (sort of) but the UAV/Airstrike/Helicopter power up system is geared to veteran gun blazers.

Meh, that isn't any different than any game ever made. The same thing will happen upon game release.

They should just play FFA for a while, to learn the ins and outs, before heading into anything with objectives/teamplay where people are depending on them. It's not like they have any stats to worry about, since it wont carry over into the release game.

Also is it supposed to be on purpose the bullets go through the wall. It looks weird as hell.

Yes. Depending on things like wall materials, range, weapon, bullet caliber and equipped perks it determines if it passes through and how much damage it inflicts. As for it looking weird, I sort of agree. Needs more shredding effects via dust/smoke.

It didn't seem that way to me when I started playing yesterday. After playing 1-2 rounds to get adjusted I was doing as well as the rank 11 people when I was rank 2-3 (I was consistently in the top 3 of my team). It'd be bad for people new at FPSes, but if you've played enough FPSes, you should manage fine.

Yeah, they also shouldn't play with friends who are ranked 11 already, because when they do match-making it'll only find a match with other 11s. :lol

Anyone still waiting for their token?

All the weapons are pretty easy to just pick up and use I don't think it's too much of a problem to get into the game and put up a fight.

One of the ingame messages gave me a protip, apparently if I double tapped the reload button the C4 would explode.

So I set up my two C4 explosives, then proceeded to walk about my high pearch picking off fools with my rifle, feeling quite good about myself. I noticed a red blip near my location, my chance to use the C4 was near! I waited up the top of the stairs, detonator in hand, sniggering to myself. I watch the guy run up, past my C4, I double tap the reload button and....nothing! Realising it all went wrong I ran around like a headless chicken then promptly got stabbed in the face.

Moral of that story: Test out the intel before using it in a combat situation.

Ive had that work for me several times but I think on one occassion it didnt work. I dont know if my C4 had already been blown if thats even possible, or if it was because I was holding the detonator. You might have to switch over to your main to be able to use the double tap. It does work though.

I'm pretty sure you can shoot c4 to blow it up as well. I was playing crash and there was c4 on the stairs in the three story building. Me and this guy wanted to go up but i was a good distance away and he shot the c4. Killing himself and hurting myself slightly in process.

Same here. I'm getting to the point where I hate that I like this game.

 

[sixthsubset]

leaderboards that should be added: highest k/d ratio after 1000 kills, highest win/loss ratio after 100 games, and highest accuracy after 10000 shots fired. as it is it only measures who has played the game more than everybody else (aka the friends and family kiddies) and not who's the best.

I understand that there is just that gap new players have to cross for getting into a game. The only reason I pointed it out is because whenever you get into a game like CoD4 or Battlefield 2 the leveling system may scare off new players. On top of the power up advantages.

I really think you should have all gametypes from the get go. So the play lists are so bottom heavy in death matches. However, you do unlock them pretty early so it may not have such an effect at all. Only time will tell I suppose.
Search and Destroy is amazing for points by the way. Just thought I'd mention.

50 point kills and 100 points for arming/disarming the bomb. Wow.

Yes. Depending on things like wall materials, range, weapon, bullet caliber and equipped perks it determines if it passes through and how much damage it inflicts. As for it looking weird, I sort of agree. Needs more shredding effects via dust/smoke.

I understand that improved caliber bullets allow for certain guns to shoot through walls. But as you said without a little more effects it looks like the bullets are just clipping through.

I'll tell you one thing, I've met some cool people on COD4.

 

[rebel^pudding]

im going to cry if i dont get my token in the next wave tonight

 

[scoobs]

I signed up within the first hour of the 24 hour sign up on the website, and I still haven't gotten mine... lame

[Lambtron]

No token for me. Didn't expect one so I'm not too broken up over it.

 

[chespace]

Pretty much the best game ever.

Working now towards the ACOG scope, and then pwnage.

Not taking it well.

I cry every time I read this thread.

Yeah, me too. I really like meeting kids who like to say "fuck, fuck, fuck" in a slightly disturbing voice over and over again.

Spoiler

Por serio.

Pretty much the best game ever.

Agreed, at least when you're playing with people who aren't your typical XBL annoyances. When this thing was still more closed than it is now... It was absolutely amazing.

 

[ice cream]

Leveling up is really easy in this game so PLEASE stop acting like level 11's are the "pros" etc..

Well I usually play really late/early morning, so I don't come across many kids thankfully. Just an occasional pot head who preaches on why we should all be smoking. :lol

In which case, that friend will have to do his best to run straight into grenades. Thus sparing the n00bs life.

Constantly.

:lol

 

[Gowans]

Oh my god :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

I was just in a game with some kid, all you could hear was:

Mam: "Come on get off and let your brother play"
Kid: "But Mom!!! Im playing online!!!"
Mam: "Your brother has been waiting let him on"
Kid: "Let him get his own xbox!"
Mam: "Thats it your grounded get off"
Kid: "but Mooomm!"

Player leaves match!!!

whole room in hysterics!

guys if anyones playing now, in good old team tatics sytle with plenty of communication whack me a inv.

You should have heard the little Brittish potty mouth we had on earlier. GT: Young1

Sounded like an 11-year-old starring in a Guy Ritchie film.

 

[got2bekidding]

Are you able to shoot down the UAV? I haven't read/hear anything about being able to and since I can't try to shoot one myself, I was wondering if anyone has tried.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Also is it supposed to be on purpose the bullets go through the wall. It looks weird as hell. Only REAL bad glitch I encountered was a weird "rename" glitch that slowed down the game extremely and eventually crashed it.

Ya, that is supposed to happen. Take advantage of it. There's nothing more satisfying than seeing someone poke their head out a window and then duck to the side thinking they are out of sight and then you shoot through the wall and get the kill. I've got plenty of kills through the wall by shooting where I think they are.

I like that style of play. I haven't had a chance to play much, but I'm hoping to get in a few hours tonight. I'll send you an invite.

The scope is shit IMO. The red dot is better.

I actually DO like those guys... Or the guy that's getting drunk. They make me laugh, on occasion.

 

[Wario64]

The scope is shit IMO. The red dot is better.

Yeah, red dot I can easily get a 2:1 ratio. With the ACOG scope, it's like 1:2. I think it takes up too much of the screen.

 

[Quazar]

I actually DO like those guys... Or the guy that's getting drunk. They make me laugh, on occasion.

Drunk ones are funny. Pot heads preaching to the team about why smoking pot will help us win is annoying. In fact shut the fuck up for a second and listen to why we're losing. At least the drunk dude knows he's going to get owned, and he's usually up front on why he wont be much help. :lol It's annoying though cause it's not like most people on team haven't/don't smoke. It really doesn't help in a FPS!

EDIT: Not all pot heads are what I explain above, some are funny but most are silent. It's those beginners I mention aboove.

 

[Coin Return]

The scope is shit IMO. The red dot is better.

I noticed this too, the AK with a red dot + bullet damage increase is damn near unstoppable in the right hands.

 

[segarr]

The scope is shit with the M4, but how is it with the M16?

 

[Quazar]

The scope is shit with the M4, but how is it with the M16?

M16 with acog on overgrown is good. Other than that it's pretty much AK/reflex or what Rayme said-M16/silencer. IMO anyways.

 

[segarr]

I see. Seemed like the accuracy of the M4 got worse when using the scope.

 

[ice cream]

whats up with the grenades from grenade launchers not working?
Some times they do and some times they don't...
once i shot it and it didn't even explode... and then I saw it was just lying there on the floor.... wtf? :lol

Dud shooter. Good job ice cream, make sure you're not on my team. But seriously I noticed them not 'exploding' as well. Maybe it's lag but who can be sure. I wish i had a better way to test it out. I know in RB6 you got an occasional dud grenade as well. That'd be awesome if developers started doing that or have a gun very rarely backfire in your face/get jammed.

I think everyone would be pissed to know that I played with some random annoying run of the mill XBL types who somehow sneaked into the beta.

Those kids (one who constantly called his gun victoria) got their token before Cajole .
