COD 4 Beta Thread

turns out CoD4 has no achievements at all for online play, which is rather odd to me considering the system is almost perfect to implement achievements for your rank, R6:Vegas style.
Demos and betas never offer achievements

No, he's referring to the retail game as the achievements for it have already been posted online.
What? Why wouldn't it?:( They already have a system for achievements in place in the demo, I want my damn points to go with it :mad:

But instead they give you experience points and tangible rewards that you can use in game. Isn't that better?
 
Please raise the cap in the next day or so because I want to get some decent play time with the new perks in the mix before Halo 3.

Red Tiger is for head-shots, no? I'd rather sport that.

Hmm, I had the red for days before I got the blue, I didn't even look at the requirements, just thought more work went into the blue one from my experience. :lol
 
Wow, I just had a couple games with the most annoying british person ever. The ENTIRE time, he was saying

"WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
STUPID YANKEE
FAT STUPID YANKEE EATING MCDONALDS
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?"

And he compared the way we were playing with the american military or something.

PLUS, he was terrible

Sounds like you had a blast.
 
My XBL experience has been pretty pleasant so far, surprisingly. Usually I'm only being paired up with Aussies, so that's probably why.

What? Playing online is purely only for fun? Fuck that.

multiplayer achievement-whoring ruins online games.

good on infinity ward for having the smarts to see that.

YES.

I didn't touch Gears ranked matches cause of that bullshit. Say NO to MP achievements.

But they still have their challenges concept in place, there's no reason they can't be used for achievement points quite easily.

Okay, so I'll use the red gun for the lava level. and the blue for the underwater level.

Lost Planet ripoff confirmed.

In all seriousness, I just passed the online addiction threshold of playing over 25 hours of the COD4 beta. I fear for my social life between this, TF2, and Halo 3, I'm going to be glued to my 360.

Heh, well I'm fairly confident there's probably a map based in a frigid environment, the red tiger is anyone's guess.
 
Possibly an autumn level with red and brown leaves falling from treetop canopies. I use the Red Tiger 'cause it looks cool and makes me feel like a man.

Man, this thread is dead. I've been playing Halo 3 all week. Have they mentioned when they are raising the level cap again?
I'm like you, only replace Halo 3 with Team Fortress 2. I'm waiting for a level cap increase so I can play for an hour and cap out again. :lol

I just read on the COD forums that they're raising the cap to 25 on the 28th, and the beta ends on the 30th. It boggles the mind...

If this is true, I have no idea what they could possibly be thinking.

Raise it tomorrow and I'll continue Beta-testing your game, Infinity Ward. It's not going to matter next Friday.
 
This could be me sucking, but I'll ask anyway

Do the light machineguns just completely suck ass?

I'm most comfortable using an MP5 with a silencer, and using mobility to quickly close on opponents from odd angles, anticipating their movements and fighting a mobile battle

Consequently, hunkering down in one place with the SAW or RPD is not my style (similarly, I detest sniping)

So, considering that, it could just be my utter lack of skill with that style of play

But, I gave them a good honest shot. I tinkered with perks, I sought out appropriate avenues, I even had a friend in private chat covering me.

I did *horribly*. I went from top or near top every game with my usual MP5 or Shotgun (Vacant) setup to bottom every time.

Now again, I'd be willing to assume that I just suck at it - but here's the thing. On a LOT of the death cam shots, I'd watch myself get owned from a distance by a guy I'm shooting at armed with a fucking assault rifle. He'd pull up laser dot sight, tap tap, I'm dead. Meanwhile I'm unloading whole clips at targets and getting dick all for kills. The few kills I DID score would be on targets that ducked behind cover, or that I suspected might be behind a wall/in a building, and I'd kill them through their cover.

But in open fights? As soon as I'd start shooting, I'd become a giant bullseye, and every time, some dude with an AR would gun me down, no matter that I was tucked behind cover in an elevated perch somewhere with a good sight line, or prone out in the bushes somewhere.

Anyone kicking ass with those guns? If you are, please share your secrets, I'm genuinely curious.

Level cap raised on the 28th. So fucking pointless, IW. Seriously.
Only two day's to max out on the weekend is not long enough, but we all new it was going to end. :( I really want to get my hands on a G3, hope I have enough time to level up and unlock it.
 
I have three keys to give away... Post here if you're interested and I'll PM them to you. (I'm not reading PM's due to possible Halo 3 spoilers, luls?)

Did they raise the levels, yet?

Friday Sept. 28th, (first thing aka 10 am PST) we're going to be maxing out the level cap for the beta at Rank 25. This is going to allow you to rank up and unlock everything that's not marked Classified including new weapons, perks, and challenges such as:

*snip*

Next weekend (Friday 28th / Sunday 30th) is going to be a mad rush to level 25 as it's official, come 11:59pm on Sunday the 30th the beta will be coming to a close. I know, I know... but don't worry. It'll only be a little over a month from that point that you'll be able to get your hands on the full version of the game on November 5th.
EDIT: whoops, didn't notice the posts above yours...
 
M4 is god. Anyway.... yeah, change the respawns please! It can get annoying sometimes (but it can be good when you wipe a whole team with an airstrike).

Good for showing how flawed the game is, that's about it.

I know, that's why they MUST fix the respwaning, I've played with idiots who only rush into the respawn of the other team causing a fucking mayhem. Anyway... you cannot deny how good it feels to wipe an entire respawning team... haha.
