Game: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

[KrayZ33]

On the PC you can... just now I played on a server without the Chopper... you still get it when you kill 6(?) guys in a row, but once you call it.. you can see it it flying into the map and directly out of it again not killing anyone. And 2 days before I played on a map with chopper enabled... but even on hardcore he didn't make more than 1 or 2 kills because he goes down directly when 1 or 2 guys decide to shoot at him with their MG or even MP
(On both servers no mod was running, I played the normal Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, at first I thought they forgot to include heli-waypoints but then a console message appeared "HELICOPTERS ARE DISABLED" which was repeated every 3 or 4 minutes)

You can change a lot.
you can en- or disable grenades.. allow certain power ups or disable them.

You can enable a strategy time whenever a new round starts (so you can change your class for example.. INGAME!!) however some of those settings requires to download a mod... and some do not (like the one with the chopper)
The mod however is not very big... maybe 2-3 MBs

one mod for example is called "Mod -ern- Warfare" whenever you join a server with that mod enabled it will change to it automatically and if you join a normal server after that, it changes to normal mode automatically.
Its not like you ruin the game if you download mods ^^

Well... all that was possible in Call of Duty 2.
You can limit certain weapons (for example only 1 sniper in each team) limit grenades or disable them fully. allow smoke or not... its up to the server. I don't know if they are ranked though but I was able to gain EXP on every server except those who require a mod (which I don't join because they have league settings sometimes.)

I just played a bit of Chinatown and it seems like an okay map. Heli and airstrike were enabled though. It's pretty hard to find servers with that stuff disabled. Martyr is annoying as hell too.

All this stuff seem like cool features on paper, but they actually ruin the gameplay in my opinion. UAV is okay because there's a perk that counters it. The other stuff...not so much.

[animus]

Airstrike and Heli are easy to dodge.

The perk actually counters both UAV and airstrike.

Huh? Are you saying that airstrikes don't kill UAV jammers? That's weird, since they actually do the whole carpet bombing thing.

The heli using UAV will be easier to believe though IMO. You argue that they see people on the UAV, then go and aim for them, rather than just looking for a target to shoot.

I'll try your theory though. Strap on a UAV jammer and hop into an airstrike.

[animus]

I didn't mean that, but when people usually carpet bomb with airstrike, it's usually while a UAV is up, so they can get the most bang for their buck.

[KrayZ33]

not necessarily true because people with a good hang of the map know where the opposite team will respawn judging from your own position and your whole team would need those UAV jammers... as long as there are 2-3 dots on the map, an airstrike will surely come to that position.

imho UAV is only usefull in hardcore mode... because once you have the drone active, nearly every player really starts to depend on it... I get suprised pretty easy by jammers. It's like "ok the street seems clear their respawn is miles away" *runs out* and then I hear something like "ALLAH MACHALAAAA" and I'm *dead* ^^

btw I love OpFor and Spetsnaz, especially Spetsnaz..

the helicopter is easy to bring down with a team who knows what they are doing.. 2 people are enough to bring it down in less than 2 magazines. and anyways just don't go into open air when the helicopter appears, and try not to face the front of it and everything is fine ^^

even on hardcore its pretty easy not to get hit by it even though 1 single shot would be enough to kill you.


btw did they change the pump-gun player model? at least the OpFor model looks different (you probably know that the play model is decided by the weapon-type you use)

[Deadfire]

I play this game all the time on PC. I play on realism servers so I never really have the issue of marty (ban on sight of anyone having it) and a few other rules that makes the game more of a challenge. Helis are easy to take down with a good team, but most players seem to want to get out of spawn and never look up. (plus that damn thing must have fucking aim-bot as well)

As well Realism mods like TRM and RTR disable all that crap anyways so I have much more fun that way.

[Animeniax]

I always have fun with martyr. I don't like it when servers start messing with the rules to make it "more balanced". It's easy to dodge martyr, you just have to keep moving to avoid the grenade. I haven't played CoD4 multiplayer online, though I have played multiplayer LAN and it's the best multiplayer game ever, imo.

If anything needs to be fixed, it's the M203. We have guys running around wreaking havoc with what basically amounts to a newb-cannon. But I stand by my first position, I don't like when servers start restricting stuff, though the AWM/AWP in CS:S is incredibly annoying.

[Buffalobiian]

I've got to find some other servers to play on. All I play these days is TDM, and that kinda gets pointless after a while. It's awesome for cranking up kills and headshots though. There's just that many heads to pop.

[KrayZ33]

go for HQ! its actually my favorite gametype... its cool, once you secured the HQ and defend it with the last survivors against waves of enemy assaults.

it gets pretty awesome when there are just 3 people in your team alive, each one defending a different side.. throwing out grenades which have been thrown in by enemy players before etc ^^

feels a bit like a singleplayer co-op mission then

and sooner or later you will just get owned for sure ^^
I'm not a fan of S&D in call of duty 4 because you die to easily and have to wait tooooo long.

Sabotage is much better there.

[Buffalobiian]

One time we were playing Sabotage, we just kept getting pinned by these two snipers. They had an awesome team. But yeah, I'm trying different game types now. All on H/C. It's pretty interesting.

*dgiinnng dgiiiing*

at first I was a bit dissapointed about the whole ww2 shit again but when I saw katanas and flamethrowers and all the nice bushes etc I got pretty happy... could get really interesting (especially multiplayer)

btw I didn't want to open a new thread for this ^^

Used to play Cod 4 with some friends all days a while ago. Then after a weekend we just suddenly stopped, should try to get it going again.

One late night i came up with the idea of creating a knife class, that map ended with me having around 30 kills and 3 deaths all with the knife. Not much has beaten the rush i've gotten from stabbing 6 people from behind at the same time. The satisfaction from knifing someone after stalking them waiting for a moment to strike is worth it all.

Here's the most decent video i found of someone playing with the knife, a few nice chainkills there. But he doesnt have a single "knife perk"

I've played several games with RPG only. It's kinda hard when you get two shots for the entire round.

Pistol only is pretty cool. Silenced pistols are actually pretty powerful in close range. Deagle sucks.

[Buffalobiian]

Aye, second that on deagle.

When you start off, you call out for high cal weapons like the deagle and the R700. By the time you unlock and play with them, you find that as long as you don't have atrocious aim, the weaker guns are enough to kill plenty. I haven't played RPG only. What happens when you run out? Knife only's pretty common.

[Board of Command]

Not to mention that deagle only has a 7 round clip. Even though the power is awesome, you can shoot pistols fast enough in COD4 that the firing speed of the weaker pistols makes up for the lower power. Plus, the silencer is some times crucial for what you want to do.

I haven't played RPG only. What happens when you run out?

Use pistol. I'm usually dead by the time I fire the second rocket because I always try to run into firefights to get my rocket's worth.

[KrayZ33]

deagle = weak? well only on hardcore

the deagle has better range/dmg/accuracy than most SMG on range.
if you aim well it goes like: "pew pew: kill - pew pew: kill"
the range is awesome and so is its accuracy even in rapid fire

I've got more problems with semi-atuomatic rifles like the m16(?) (or snipers like the dragonuv or whatever its called) because the recoil is too strong

[animus]

Lol M16...?

[Animeniax]

M16 kicks ass on CoD4 if you know how to use it.

[KrayZ33]

wow, sry m14

m16 is easy mode @ long range. ^^

I simply don't understand this weapon

the m16, g3 are so much better.. less recoil and about the same dmg.
