Nah, plenty of (crazy) people still use it. Running around them in a circle, strafing them with bullets never gets old though.

Still, they do serve as rather good bait for getting more kills. :D

I knew you were from GAF. Those five or six FFA matches we played were pretty competitive. A lot of fun.

I actually noticed alot of people using it while sniping on overgrown today. I'd hit people, figure I never got the kill shot and they just ran away only have the kill pop up a few seconds later. Must be sad bleeding out in a bombed out bleeding by yourself :lol

Yeah, I recognized the name, but since you never said anything, I didn't either. :lol

Nope. Been playing Prime 3, which is more than a suitable replacement.

However, I finished it last night with 100%, so now, I cry.

Yes. That's the best part.

If I down 'em in an isolated spot, I just leave them to bleed instead of risking my neck. That, or throw a grenade next to them. :lol!
 
Protip: Actually hitting someone with a flash bang does the smallest amount of damage possible. Combine this knowledge with a downed victim in Last Stand to get the ultimate in humiliation kill.

I'm pretty sure I've been killed by this. It was on crash and I was in a fire fight with 2 guys, I killed both of them but my "health" was in the red and I was standing ontop of a flashbang someone threw.

:lol That means a lot from a 360 fanboy. What happen to resting up for Halo 3, eh?
Actually, I still own and love MP. Hated MP2 with a passion, so that pretty much soured me on 3. Plus you like it... so, you know. ;)

The beta token was calling me. Hell, I don't even have my 360/HDD with me anymore (sent it back to NY with my bros). So I had to recover my gamertag and play it on my cousin's system. lol

I hated Prime 2. Terrible, terrible game, but Prime 3 is better than Prime 1, so yeah... SEXELLENT.

Anywho, SnakeXs said he wants me as his partner when we do 4-player coop in Halo, so you ladies are going to have to fight over me. :D

Partner? In 4p co-op? wtf? Me thinks Snake spent a bit too much time in Greece. :o

Meh, we'll see about Prime 3. You already know my console buying criteria, so whenever that's met is the day I'll play it.

Anyway, back to COD4. :D

Well, I think he meant the whole competition aspect of coop, where you compete for kills or something. I dunno. I haven't been following that game. I'll care when my local mom and pop sells it early to me. :lol

Anyway, so how awesome is this CoD4 beta, eh? My purchase is dependant on my beta experience.
 
Do you guys think they are not sending out many if any e-mails so far tonight because of all the people who cheated their way in to the beta?

They wanted to only allow a certain number of people in each day so they can test the servers or whatever, and now with all the people sneaking in, maybe they have too many people already atlseast for now and they can't let any more people in today even if they didn't cheat their way to beta access?

Oh, the Meta game stuff. Makes sense... and you'll lose. :lol

"So Awesome".

Dare I say, COD4 Beta > H3 Beta? Ohhhh.. snaps...

It's totally different, and not really directly comparable, but it's amazing.
 
The game is realllly good, but I'm afraid I won't get any better at it. Anyone have tips to share? I can't seem to score over 15 in a normal team deathmatch... sadface

:lol

Give me a break, this game is totally broken in some aspects as it is now.

Don't get me wrong, good game, but it needs lots of polish to reach the balance the Halo beta had.

Where did I say it wasn't? That's one of the benefits for having a Beta afterall.

I've read your issues (RPG/rocket spamming and such) but I've yet to experience it. So what can I say? It's not perfect, but neither was the H3 Beta.

How do you rocket spam with only two rockets? I know you didn't say it but I'm curious yet to lazy to search the thread for the post.

Not literally spam them, but he pretty much meant that they're overpowered and you shouldn't be able to use them in the way you can. ie getting cheap kills. The same way that RPGs are too easy to get kills with, or that Snipers are too easy to use non-scoped in his opinion.

Then again, they're rockets and grenades... so, you know.

You can apply the same thing to a lot of things if you're anal about it. One hit sniper kills via body shots. One hit kills via knifing any part of the body. Killing people with flashbangs (lolers) etc.

the halo 3 beta didn't have a glitch that prevents people from actually playing the game for hours.
*cough* Crackdown *cough*

They already told you how to resolve the issue. If you still can't get around it, well.. *shrug*

Actually, snipers should have a delay between the scope view and the normal view. Much bigger than other weapons. And they should have bigger recoils also in normal view.
 
ok, who the fuck keep spamming me with gay vod sites with 50 free minutes, rickrolling emails, science blog websites and bogus cod4 invites. :( the latter is just horrible :(((((((

They should. But for all we know, the weapon balancing isn't done. So they could be listening to complaints and making changes in the final.
 
The rocket launcher problem stems from the fact that you get 2 every time you spawn, it should have a limit on how many you get the entire match, I say 2 is plenty, for the sake of balance.

Snipers should have a kickback from hell and knock you out of zoomed mode, but instead you can stay zoomed and shoot it like a fuggin machine gun, the lower level snipers are ok, IMO. It's just that when you start upgrading it, that's when it becomes ridiculous.

Edit: I don't want to sound like I'm down on the game, just hopefully someone from IW will read my few complaints and tone it down, I mean I've played the shit my entire day off today. :lol

I think if they made it 1 rocket it would be fine.

Anyone else find the SAW a bit too accurate, especially when standing up and moving?

BTW, I truly believe we should have a thread to discuss the gameplay mechanics of the game. There are just way too many posts about people anticipating the tokens.

I'm not brave enought to start another thread.
