COD 4 Beta Thread

You do not need to lead shots. Even if you're lagged if you've got your crosshair on the guy and are making hits on your end you are most likely getting the hits on the server as well. When you see the X on your crosshair indicating a hit its the response from the server saying "Hit!", and it does verification based on what you were seeing and what the server was seeing at the time.

Do NOT lead your targets. If you do, you'll miss a lot of shots.

If you've got massive lag (i.e. >300ms) it will probably feel a little weird as you'll be shooting a guy, hearing the "Pthhht" sound of the bullets going in to his flesh, and then a moment later the actual X on your crosshair - as opposed to seeing the muzzle flash, hearing the sound, and seeing the X all at once (as it would happen on a LAN).
 
DKo5, can you high five whoever worked on the Shotgun for me? That thing with the grip attachment is godly.

Anybody up for a GAF game tonight? If you feel like it just add me. GT: Prvt Pegleg

All Im saying is often times, the kill cam and what happened in game seem to be two different things... I would post a video of it, but yeah...
 
What the fuck..I got in the beta and I didn't even fill out that shit to get into it. Email is from yesterday. Oh well, fucking cool.

Yeah man. I've been a member of charlieoscardelta.com since the E3 press conference but I wasn't home during that e-mail thing. I just figured what the hell and checked my email and sure enough there it was.

I just realized I have some awesome luck. I got into the Bungie Friends & Family program for the Halo 3 beta and got to play it a few days early and I also got into the Shadowrun closed beta.

That can happen, and its because of latency. What you're seeing isn't whats actually happening at that time on the server's end. It comes down to the server having authority, and you'll notice its very minor last few millisecond type stuff - i.e. you go in for the knife and get shot down before your blade can cut sweet flesh, but in the killcam you never even brought your knife out. What happens in an instance like this, I believe, is that you were killed before the server even saw you bring out the knife.

An incredibly immense amount of work has gone in to the netcode in COD4, but unfortunately when dealing with something as latency bound and inconsistent as the internet you just can't do everything perfectly.

What it comes down to, really, is that you can fully trust the X on your crosshair has a positive hit and that what the killcam shows is what "actually" happened.

Yeah, I understand completely, thats pretty much whats happening, only on my end it would be more like "knife goes into them but he shoots and kills me" but kill cam doesnt even show me bust out my knife. True, it is very minimal but it is just enough to be very frusterating whenever it happens (often). I guess it could be my connection but I dont seem to have trouble in other games and I usually have full bars in the connection meter...
 
Man people on the top of the building in Crash (I think that is the name it is the one with the downed chopper) don't watch their backs. I have knifed so many people up there.:D

Agreed... but thats a focal point of constant battle, also the back alley in that area with the blue building and the car shop is intense.

But the best one is... the office level (shit I forgot the name),.. when fighting from one door all the way to the far window of that corridor, now that's some intense crap. This game... is simply put... awesome, this is MP of the year to me.

My opinion may change once Halo 3 hits but the intensity in this game has hooked me in a HUGE way, I can't wait till they raise the level cap. I want the Martyrdom perk.

If the Halo 3 beta is any indicator, then I don't think it has a chance against COD4 =) I'm just absolutely addicted. I love Last Stand. I've noticed a change in focus of how people are playing over the last few days too because of Last Stand. People are now following up on their shots to make sure you're dead now rather than taking it for granted. But because of that, it also makes a Last Stand kill that much more satisfying. I can't believe this game is so far away.
 
Count me in the "hooked on CoD4" group. This beta is amazing. The gameplay, the balance, the graphics (60 FPS!!), the sound effects, etc. etc.

IW ARE GODS.

I only have 1 Last Stand kill, I love the custom class feature though. I have one called "Power Player" which has Stopping Power and Deep Penetration and combined it with a M4A1 with the red dot. It is awesome!:D
 
Well, I finally got it to send me a confirmation email with gmail...3rd time's a charm I guess, looks like I'll be feverishly hitting F5 come Monday. :lol

Any idea if they track your Last Stand kills? I'd love to see how many I've gotten. I know I've done at least 10. The best was when someone killed me and then a bunch of guys came rushing through the door and I killed all of them with Last Stand. So awesome! Ya, the custom class feature is great. I'm having fun trying to level up my weapons too. Holy crap this is awesome and it's only a three level beta.
 
Is there Clans in the beta? If so GAF clan me up. Having so much fun. Been playing with a friend all night. Using the different weapons for the Challenges is fun. All of the weapons are useful and effective, which is hard to find in games.
 
Now I know what Ghaleon and others felt like during the Halo 3 Beta Friends and Family. So many useless posts saying nothing except "I didn't get in."
 
I got my Beta Token email on Friday at 2:18pm PST.

Shogmaster and I were enjoying the "liquid 60 fps" until the sun started to come up the next day.
 
This game is so freakin' awesome. Just played my first round with the newly unlocked M4A1. I can't wait to get the red dot for it.

It's quite easy to say that when you're actually in the beta, I'm not really anticipating the game that much, so I haven't posted here much either. But for people that are really looking forward to it, I'm sure it's quite the sting, especially when people that didn't try as hard as they did get in over them. :P

Does anyone know what the number next to your name in brackets after the game means?? DK, any help?

The bracketed scoreboard numbers are just debug info for the Beta. Those won't be in the final game.
