All right... Will someone give me some tips because playing this game like Halo apparently does not yield good results.

It's really hard but fight the urge and don't rush in to any place. Hold back and wait for other people to screw up. Also pay attention to your radar as enemy's will appear for a sec when they fire their weapon. Also Stun Grenades rock.
 
My roommate got his beta invite today and we went to play together and everyone complained about the horrible lag. And if we didn't get host then we lagged horribly. Is it stressful on our connection for us to be playing games online at the same time or something? Any other college roommates experience problems like this in games?

Thank you very much.
 
Whoa this game is awesome... didn't have much hype for the multiplayer cause i didn't like CoD2's MP but this is great.
 
It's very challenging, but I'm really digging it so far. I've only played six or so games, but I'd like to invest more time in it. I think this bodes well for me buying the full game.
 
Yep. It killed it good. I'm getting the checkerboard pattern showing that the GPU is overheated every time I run anything taxing.

The game's so damn good, it's pooched my 3rd 360. Off to BestBuy I go tomorrow moring. Maybe I will find a HDMI one to exchange it with.

It's better than I thought it be. Pretty damn fun actually. Ramirez, is there any game you aren't awesome at?

Shit dude, did you see that game on Overgrown, I went like 4 and 10 :lol I picked some weapons/perks I'd never used and proceeded to get embarrassed, haha.

But really, I'm not that great at this game, I have my games, but I'm wildly inconsistent, Cerrius is pretty killer at this from the 3-4 games I played with him earlier.

I can't get out of my Halo/Unreal state of mind. :P

So is it better or worse than the Halo 3 beta (in terms of maps, lag, options, players etc.)

Completely different games really... it's similar to the Halo 3 beta in terms of options and maps (3) but the gameplay is different.

You can veto maps here also but it's kind of a pain... in H3 you just press X button, in this you've gotta scroll all the way down to "Skip Map" and then go through a confirmation dialog, kind of annoying.

One thing I will say, Halo 3 is a lot more balanced IMO. In CoD4 the best players keep getting rewarded (radar, airstrikes, etc) which makes them continue to dominate. The higher ranked people also get better guns and perks and whatnot. I actually kind of like that, but it's not really fair to the newer or less experienced players.
 
That's one thing I've always wished Halo would incorporate, if you get a triple kill or something, it should be worth a few more points, style scoring if you will.
 
Damn about 50% of my Friend list is playing the beta and their almost all from Canada....

Im the only who was dumb enough to follow the rule...and not register since Im from Canada.

Somebody hook me up plz!!!!!!!!
 
the game is very impressive. When I first started I kept forgetting you could shoot through walls, and I would give up. But that has changed, and now I spray walls.

Wish the maps were a little bigger. And I'm still waiting to see the "gas mask" that they said would be in the game. (i know its a beta but i havent seen any ingame stuff about it in along time)
 
The comparisons to Halo 3 are natural, since the two game are going to be dueling for the XBOX 360 owner's online time this fall. I haven't played enough of CoD4 public beta to really form much of an opinion on their respective merits except to say the lag has been virtually nil in CoD4, even in 6x6 games. Halo 3 public beta was laggy for me in anything more than 4x4 usually.
 
the amount of snipers doubled in the past week -_-

<3 Vacant

I hope the final game has more maps like that
 
Got my invite today and put in a couple hours and it's hard to explain how awesome this game is.

I was in the Halo beta as well, and COD 4 totally blows it out of the water. Almost to the point of embarrassment. But as others have said, it's probably not a fair comparison.

Anyway, my brain is fried, or I would give some better impressions. But basically, the game has a learning curve and it's not a run and gun style shooter.. it's almost like a perfect melding of Halo and GRAW.. but better than both.. and I've never liked a COD game, so I'm not biased.

The classes and weapon upgrades are fun to play around with and once you unlock custom class, you can build your own warrior from the ground up exactly the way you want to. You have 2 weapon slots, 3 "perks" or special abilties and I feel like I'm forgetting something else.

Great, great game. Well done Activison, or whatever studio developed it. And the graphics are just mindblowing. On top of playing great its beautiful to look at as well.

I really think this one might win multiplayer game of the year.. I think it has Halo beat.. but I'll wait till I get the full version to decide, and other than that Team Fortress 2 is the other challenger.. and Shadowrun deserves a mention I think.
 
the map crash is the best imo. So much mayhem around every corner. its a close quarters map but has enough openings and rooftops to make it seem open.

Yeah the game is super smooth online, you know that when you die it's because you suck not because of lag. Also 60fps for the win, it's fucking beautiful.

I played 4 hours straight tonight, this game is so much fun.

however, Last Stand is trash and people that use it suck.

I won a Team Tactical match with it.

The guy with the bomb came after me, dropped me and didn't finish me off, I then took him out with the pistol, his buddy then comes around the corner and thinks I'm dead. A few more bullets into him and he's dead and we win the match.

Man up :D

I agree, Crash is the best map by far IMO. Vacant is pretty cool too. I hate Overgrown though, it's just sniper after sniper...

Depends on how you play it, actually. I mix rushing tactics with your usually sight aiming (M4 with laser sight) and it works perfectly fine. Once you know the maps and some of the quirks, you can easily run and gun in this game, especially with an M4, laser sight and steady aim perk.
 
Man, I'm really enjoying the beta. It's like they took the best of COD2 Mp, COD3 MP, BF2 and made an amazing experience. Also, I'am actually pretty good. M4 and Red Dot FTMFW.
And Crash is the best map, Vacant sucks.
 
I got on tonight just to play a couple rounds......3 hours later I found myself barking orders at my teammates. COD4 is the truth folks.

QFT! In Vacants defense, it can actually be a pretty fun map if you lure the other team outside. Indoor fights FTL.

Embarrassment? C'mon.
 
:lol My best friend just told me that if i could score him a beta token he would buy an Xbox tomorow. He saw the Beta at my house and loved the game. We just ended a 6hr marathon of just trading the controler and playing one match him one match me.

Its really good. Finally got Lvl 11

Though Spud was on a roll, gotta give him that
