Game: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Right, it's ninja that protects against heartbeat sensor, my error. I use cold-blooded but it's still pretty useless in hardcore. Very few UAVs, fewer sentry guns, and higher level killstreak rewards are a lot less frequent so not many predator missiles or helicopters to worry about. This is both because people camp so they get killed less, but they also kill less.

IWNet was having problems around Christmas time, maybe with all the kids out of school they flooded the servers, who knows. But it's been working well lately for me.

I wonder, since you're in Europe and someone like Psyke is in Singapore and I'm in the US, will IWNet ever match us up together in a game, or will network speed limitations prevent this?

I'm on PSN

However, I heard people speaking American English on one game, and then Cantonese the next.

Well we can form a party, or invite each other, also there is another problem called time - when i'm playing you are propably sleeping, or at work. I could play with people form US only when i have break from school - so i can play at night.
predators, care packages and harriers are pretty common in hc - at least they was in the games i was playing. sometimes there is deadly AC-130 butit is not so common.

Psyke - i head that there aiming on consoles is assisted and this assistance works badly - is it true?

p.s. sorry for any gramar mistakes - i don't have dictionaries on this laptop.

You probably play on the servers with lots of campers, so fewer kills mean fewer killstreak rewards. Some of the games I've played are like that where a few campers hide in excellent spots and rack up the kills and still get rewards, but it's less common. A lot of the games I've been on are really competitive, with even the top guys only having the same number of kills and deaths.

There is assisted aiming only in the single campaign, not in the multiplayer modes. It's quite useful and automatically snaps onto targets, making it almost too easy at times.

Well campaign on veteran on pc was too easy at some parts..but extremely hard sometimes too(the one in which you had to direct fire of assault vechicle via laser for example)

[Animeniax]

Lack of lean-out makes the single-player campaign almost unplayable for me. I got tired of dying repeatedly to dead-shot bots that shoot you as soon as you round a corner. I completed the first two missions and then haven't stopped playing multi-player since.

wait, there's definitely some assisted lock-on aiming in multiplayer. it's not much, but it is enough to move the crosshairs.. I've lost kills and been killed because of it. :\

like shooting at someone across the map, when some other guy runs through my line of fire and so it focuses me on him and i don't kill my original target.. stuff like that happens.

Veteran on campaign does that. Once you pop a head out, you're shot. It's the increased proficiency of the AI, and what makes it more "realistic". You'd spend most of the time in Vet mode behind cover, or trying to exploit certain gameplay loopholes. I must have died a couple of hundred times trying to get those trophies.

As for the auto aim, it hasn't happened to me yet....

Luck or cheat? that's the question.

I was on a server today and after we voted past a particular map, this "bad ass" boasts that he can nuke us on the map that we ended up playing. Of course he camps and snipes to earn a chopper that scores 18 kills to get him the nuke and he nukes us.

So I spend the next couple of maps calling him names and insulting him for his amazing CoD skills and some other guys join in. For some reason I feel bad about it, even though a lot of the insults were of the sort where I suggest he put his endeavors toward something more meaningful than a video game. He was a prestige 2 level 70 if I recall correctly. He ends by saying some very disgusting self-deprecating statements before I quit out.

Anybody still playing this?

I've finally unpacked my box after 5 months, and have only played an hour or two on multiplayer.

It lags like crazy.

Sometimes it's the smooth-but-late type, and sometimes it's the jumpy type. Steam ping graphs always shows my ping as being good (3-4 of 4 bars).

Apparently I'm a bad host too, but the matchmaking system seems to like using me as one...

So far, not very happy with it.

(12 players max is interesting - it makes for smaller scale fights were you actually get a feel for how your teammates and enemies play rather than just some random out of the other 32. On the other hand, it makes sniping more discrete and less "productive" than CoD4, where the sheer numbers mean you're never short of targets coming through rush points or running in the open.)

well the main ps3 i used got the YLoD, so no go there. And then the other ps3 is usually occupied.. I played for the first time in a while the other day. did awful, but it was pretty much expected given the time off <.<.

btw if anyone wants to add me and party on the ps3, my psn is Pandadice.

[Rekeco]

I been playing this on the PS3 for a little bit now, but a buddy of mine plays only PC (money issues). He's deciding between MW2 and Battlefield: BC2. I never played the latter so can anyone give me a little advice the choice?

[Buffalobiian]

I managed to play a handful of games where lag was non-existent.

And (only) when that happens, this game's pretty fun.

[Xelbair]

I'm constantly playing it since December.
Just 1 more nuke for nuke emblem(I've already used nuke 12 times but 3 times were on the other prestige).
Recently i've started using P90 - its damn good but still too weak compared to ump.
P.S.
Steam nick - Xelbair[PL] (blue colored, same as my friends, because our party for some reason gets split often and we need to quickly check who's in - i think that's ^4 color)
