COD 4 Beta Thread

I agree the main problem seems to be latency, which happens in every shooter that you play online. For the most part the beta has been silky smooth though.

have to respectfully disagree. for 6v6 with no vehicles and small maps, the game runs like shit online imo. Halo 3 beta absolutely smoked it (especially with international play)

Shit online? You will run into the occasional room with insane amounts of lag but other than that I haven't had any problems. All about your connection I guess.
 
Definantley agree with the spawnpoints issue, nothing worse than being killed by an airstrike, only to respawn in the middle of the same airstrike. People who camp with a shotgun really piss me off at times, i understand its a tactical shooter but do you really have to sit in the same corner for the whole duration of the match just to get a few kills?

Don't even get me started on that grenade launcher... :lol
 
beta seems to have more connection and lag problems for me the last 2 days.
usually I connect only to disconnect b/c of the lag and try to find another match.
a few days ago it was very easy to get into games with little/no lag.
 
Actually ran into a fello GAF member and played some COD4 beta. Good games Bloodwall, good games indeed. As far as this beta goes performance wise, this online set up is running really well. Games are found really quick, its generally little or no lag at all, althoug there are occasional games where it will be bad (connection interrupted junk).

Just makes you wonder how much better the actual final game will be given how good this beta is.
 
Ok, so I brought my 360 over a friend's house tonight for some COD4 on his new 32" LCD HDTV. It was pretty incredible. We probably played for around 3-4 hours total, with a break of Puzzle Fighter in between. He has always had troubles with his wireless connection on his laptop, and it was no different when trying to play COD4. It was godawful when we first started playing and then when we started up again, but after a round or two each time, we were completely dominating everyone in Free-for-All. Lag + Uzi + Stopping Power + Steady Aim + Vacant = Total Ownage. We kinda felt bad, because it had to be impossible for people to hit us. We heard players complaining about the lag every game. We were definitely having fun though. :lol We had rounds of 42-11 and 46-7. My friend (who had only played the beta once over my house before) had a 15 kill streak and I had a 24 kill streak. Even on other maps we did awesome, using the M4 in place of the Uzi. We probably averaged a 3:1 K:D ratio for the night. I think I've pretty much convinced my friend to get a 360 now. :D
 
Man, I'm quickly losing hope about getting into this beta. I just read that Gamespot will be handing out tokens for North Americans (Woo, that means Canada!) who login into their site at 9pm Monday.. but if my luck keeps up I'll have to wait until retail. I really hate getting bent out of shape leaping all over the internet to get into a beta. Reading this thread 3 times a day doesn't help :)

Quick question. How are you guys playing? The Aussie beta only starts on the 11th right? Have you all glitched your way in or have I missed out on my token? :(

you'll be fine on the 11th :D
 
I also ran into Bloodwall last night, and with the exception of me knifing him for the final kill at crash, he completely destroyed me 1 on 1. Getting dominated by him made me realize two things. Firstly, my team game is terrible, I seem to have a horrible sense of pacing when it comes to slowing down and acting semi-cohesive. It also made me realize I have no team to play with, so to speak, I only have one friend actually in the beta.

So I turn to you GAF, please help me be a better team player and help fill my depressingly empty friend’s list, would love to get some great games going.

Other way around over here. Haven't encountered any lag in CoD 4 for now, while Halo 3 was mainly lag free in 4 vs 4 games.

Blame the host.

When lag occurs, I bring up the scoreboard and behold, there is only one person with the ideal connection; the host.

When me and Bloodwall were on the same team, I went 30-9 on Crash and 32-6 on Overgrown. In this game you definately need teamwork in order to do well, atleast when it comes to calling out positions of the enemy when you dont have radar. Or synchronizing UAV support with another members airstrike and what not. Either way, this game kicks all kinds of ass and I cant wait to play the final version.

I do that too... and immediately I log out. When I am hosting I always check most people have at least 3 green bars. If there are 2 yellows then there are problems... and if there is a red I either try to talk the guy out into quitting or just close the game if everyone else begins to lag. I am a responsible host :D

I'm also waiting for my token, I think I was pretty early in grabbing my key-code on eurogamer but nothing yet.
Click to expand...

Same here, got up very early on Friday to get my Eurogamer key. Still not received the token yet :-(
 
I've been playing for a fortnight and only experienced lag a couple of times. I usually play with people who have 20Mb connections like me and as far as i'm concerned the netcode is excellent.

Something that I've been meaning to mention in this thread...I love pegging people with grenades and seeing the damage X appear on them. And I don't mean hitting them with the explosion...I mean literally beaning someone with a grenade. It's awesome that it does damage:lol

I need some team players and also is there a GAF clan?

So far, I've ran into about a half-dozen people or so with GAF clan names, and have gotten friend requests almost each time. I view it as more of a way to identify ourselves out of the larger community.

Feel free to ad me, I try to jump on as much as my dwindling free time allows. =)

God damn where is my code :lol, where do you download the beta from on the XBLM anyway?

I cant wait to JUMP IN. :D

That is awesome. I now have a new COD goal, lol. Hmm... I wonder if it's enough damage to kill someone in last stand before it detonates... =P

Maybe, I mean you can kill someone in Last Stand with a flash grenade after all.

I've played over 200 games and maybe 3-4 have been laggy as shit, and it's usually the hosts fault. the rest are perfect. (aside from the racial slurs from the under 18s)

your connection sucks shit.

No it doesn't.
JB hosted all of GAF's games of Gears. His connection is fucking excellent; most of 360-GAF will testify supporting this statement.

Guess what?
I've fucked your mom over 200 times and maybe 3-4 times she didn't orgasm, it's usually her fault. the sex was perfect. (aside from the racial slurs from the under 18s)

Seconded. The host advantage he had in that game was ENORMOUS! :lol
 
Has anyone from the UK got there keys, I signed up with Gamespot no luck as of yet, have all the keys been sent now for my region?
 
IMO, the game doesn't truly shine until you play 2vs2 or 3vs3. I had the best time playing with Rayne and some random dude over the weekend.

I think over a 4 hour span we lost about....2 rounds of death match and were perfect in search&destroy? :lol Unstoppable.
