Call of Duty 4 Beta Players

Shicky said:
Had my first go last night, at first it seemed very arcadey but then i got into it, very addictive. Still not quite as good as COD2 i think. But yea would like to play with some of your guys. Rank goes up way too quick though, played for a bit less than 2hours and got to rank 9 and a bit over.

It's a beta so they allow fast levelling.
 
Finally went on a few matches - I don't know why you guys seem to think it's better than the Halo 3 beta was, it's good but it's just Call of Duty 2 with modern skins on. I was very impressed by the graphics and the smooth framerates, but that's about it. Lack of vehicles, poor map design, overtly sensitive aim with silly things such as lack of ragdolls (AGAIN) and bodies and guns clipping through walls - meh.

Thanks for overhyping it guys. Warhawk is far far better, I'll go and play on that again.

Halo 3 beta was no doubt more polished - but for me sometimes I want bullets, not lasers. I think the lower graphics help the speed and keep the lag down so I don't have a problem with em. I am loving it....

Thank god there are no stupid Vehicles in it!! CS never had vehicles and never needed em.

CoD4 spanks warhawk :)

Graphics do not make a game.

It does have ragdolls. It just plays a death animation first and then the body goes into ragdoll after that.
 
Even though you're playing american's you really don't notice any lag issues or anything, it's really quite impressive. You can tell if you lagged from the kill cam aswell which is neat.
 
That's exactly what I was saying Kree... the graphics and framerates are good but that's about it. The spawn system is incredibly poor in this game, where a good team can pin down the other team's spawn points and start locking it down with tons of kills - my team just lost 100-750 to a bunch of spawn campers as a result. Combine that with the blurry graphics which means it's hard to make out anything over a hundred yards along with the ever-so-popular shades of brown and grey we all seem to love.... well, it's a very disappointing beta.

It's still on my preorder, as I have always liked the Call of Duty games for their epic campaigns, and not their multiplayer (except for the very first game in the series on the PC, K98 rifle shootouts across the snowy battlefields are the best) - and I have no doubt that Call of Duty 4's campaign will be very, very good.

It's just not as good as Halo ! ;)

I really don't want to make a fuss, so I will remind everyone that this is my opinion before everyone starts throwing their toys out the pram like babies like they do in just about every other thread, and leave you guys to ignore this post if you so wish to, and enjoy this game.

We know it's your opinion but we can still discuss it :)

I found the CoD4 beta a lot more interesting than the halo 3 beta which I got bored of very quickly.
 
I really like it, the kill cam is great and it makes the games flow and stops camp off betweens each side. A few things that need changing though are the way spawn points work , it sucks repsawning on top of air strikes , grens and even next to people from the other team.

The Air strike and helicopter are to over powered and need to be changed because at the moment they seem quite easy to get, I think they should change it so that you can only use one and no chain them , i.e 3 kills you use radar , if you don't use radar you can do the air strike but if you do use the radar it resets your kill streak, that would give it better risk vs reward.

Overall i'm really enjoying it, this is the only multiplayer fps on a console that i've really liked and i've tryed pretty much all of them on the 360.

For people that are going to try it stay away from free for all , team DM and team tactics are were the most fun is in my opinion.

The other modes are pretty fun. It's a shame there's no Headquarters mode from COD2 in the beta. I'm guessing that'll make it into the retail version.
 
I wouldn't advise free-for-all until you get a good enough rank. I started with that and got owned a lot. Team-Deathmatch helps you level up some and eases you into the game better imo.
