COD : WaW Beta

Cause at the start of search and destroy people will just noobtube the spawn on certain maps. You can't even get out before getting toobed at times.

Hmmm, never played that mode before, I usually stick to HQ. But even so, the term "noobtube", from what I recall of BF2 days, was given to those using the original nade launcher's lack of arming distance, to get instant kills up close - surely in these occasions (on CoD4), it's more a case of nade spamming, as I’m guessing it takes at least a small degree of skill to land a round on target – even if they have simply memorised where to aim, there are still factors.

How come people don't move away from the expected fire, iirc (not played CoD4 for ages) everyone starts at the same time, unless it is really laggy :confused:

Anyway, all games get these problems; I remember when America’s Army had nades removed from some maps for the very reason you mention, and it always amazed me that time after time and game after game, people would still allow themselves to get killed by spammed nades :p

Scort.

Its hard to get the whole team out without one of them getting toobed.

And no its nothing to do with lag
 
The email detailing how to get in line for a beta code was sent early last week and I thought they were going to use last Friday as the "first Friday" to start giving out the keys. I was kicking myself Thursday evening when I realised I had missed the "order before Thurs 1pm to get one tomorrow" deadline. So now it looks like I didn't miss out at all. I still have my pre-order on with them so fingers crossed it's this Friday :)

Point being you start at the same place each time.

start > hit left D > fire toob.

Theres not much you can do againts a series of overkill t00bers. when waves of 4 come over the other side of the map. Arming time isnt really an issue on hardcore anyway as a direct shot will kill them.
 
many have sonic boom on as well so you can be quite a distance away from the grenade as it explodes and still get killed.

Bog is the worst map for this as when you start at the top you start behind a wall and by the time you reach the end of the wall your dead, and if you stay behind the wall, your dead!
 
Eurogamer.net will be giving away keys according to their front page. Roll on friday! This will decide whether or not I keep my pre-order. Hopefully this one will have some MP achievements unlike COD4.

I actually hope it doesn't. That will detract from actually playing and enjoying the game when you have people concentrating on trying to get some annoying achievement, see Halo 3 for this.

I'm the same I really dont want any more MP achievements. Having none is part of what makes COD4 so great. Maybe one 100 pointer for rank 55 level 10.

Have people play that actually want to play it instead of achievement boosters.
 
was reading one of the xbox magazines (360 gamer i think) and whil'st i had my doubts about this at the start, the mag article has made me keen to see this now!! looks very promising.
