I love COD4. A mate brought it around and i found it rather fun being able to murder people in 1-2 hits :p

Only problem is, I'm also really in to halo 3, and i can't get used to the COD playstyle, they're both completely different and I'm having trouble adjusting.

Anyone able to give me any hints on making my halo style compatible with Cod4?

*edit* sodding keyboard, maybe i should actually put a key where the T used to be

which guns would you say are the best to use in COD4? i've used the M16A4 for ages (got all the addons and extras etc) and have just switched to the M4 carbine, which as far as i can see is similar but without the 3-burst hindrance...

you get lots of people using machine guns, but they dont seem as accurate to me... i like a good all-round gun and i'm not sure the machine guns would do the job well...

what are all your faves?
 
I had the same problem at first playing COD4 on the console, I have a habit of 'dooming it' when it comes to allot of FPS's but I found in COD4 it rarely got me any where, after I started to chill out and hang back more picking enemy's off at a distance my progression through the game become allot easier.

Best gun is the M16 without a doubt, other favourites of mine include the MP5, P90 and the RPD.

And in terms of getting used to it, just practice and it will prove itself to you as the best MP FPS around at the minute.
 
M16 is better than M4 simply because its more accurate and will kill most people in 1 three round burst where as the M4 takes a few more bullets but does have the advantage of automatic fire.

However if you prefer to dance around wildly firing full auto at anything that moves (Like most Halo players seem to) then I would recommend the RPD as its accurate and does lots of damage or the MP5.

P90 is ok, it has a large clip but MP5 will kill your opponnent quicker.

Its all down to player style, everyone will tell you something different, the only option is to try everything once and stick with something that suits your player style.
 
Assault rifle? G36c for the win. Good for the more open levels.

Sub machine gun? MP5 is the best but the p90 is a laugh.

Sniper rifle? Can't stand campers so I don't use them myself


I tend to always use the UAV jammer on all my profiles as the element of surprise can get you a lot of kills.
 
G36c is far too underpowered for me and does not have the accuracy of the other assault rifles.

It always takes me longer to get to 150 kills with this than any of the others, including the G3 which is single shot!

I never used to use any of the single fire weapons but I quit enjoyed using the M14 before I prestiged again, means you have to make sure you are deadly accurate.
Will give the G3 a go this time around as well.

And I agree about the G36C, whilst it is an okay gun, its far to underpowered and can be a bit chaotic in terms of accuracy.

M16, AK47, G3 and G36 but I'm a big ran of fairly long range fire.
 
Not at all, I quite like Halo, but every game I have ever played involved jumping up and down, strafing left to right really fast and firing eveything you've got in every direction hoping you'll hit someone enough times to actually damage their shields!

(This proably explains why I am so bad at it, I cannot strafe and aim at the same time)

I was gonna say, you must be crap if you think it's spray and pray. Due to low bullet damage it's far less spray and pray than CoD4 can be.
 
But its much more open than COD, nobody hides in Halo, they all just run around like headless chickens, not as much strategy involved
 
Its ok, I know how much you love that game, I have not played it any where near enough to form a valid opinion, these are just my thoughts on the few games I have played.
