Cod4 MP: The Helicopter

Its the complaints about the helicopter which has stopped me buying this game to play online.
I hate the choppers, but seriously.. it is one tiny annoyance in an awesome online game.
you know fine and well that you can only point it you cant aim it
Hold Left Trigger my friend 
lol i meant even though u CAN "aim" it, you are still only pointing it where you would like it to go and only have control over the general direction in which it fires most of the time

Youd be mad not to buy it purely because of the choppers, it is a pretty solid and enjoyable online experience. My only gripe with them is that i dont see the point in rewarding players who are already doing very well with an extra stack of free kills.
To some it seems to totally spoil the game. Like this thread and the many many posts in the official COD4 thread.
Ah yea true true. Its only easy when the chopper is still and basically above you. Only got it down once myself

If you know what you're doing you should hardly ever get killed by either the airstrike or the chicken leg. Just look at the radar every few seconds, which you should be doing anyway, and when the red thing comes alone just avoid it.
NOOb!
maybe hes a real gamer and is playing on a hardcore server and doesnt have a map
Although it's not perfect, it really has been exaggerated a bit here, if a heli spoils the game for someone then I'd suggest they're generally pretty poor at the game anyway and not willing to learn - it really isn't difficult for one to be taken down or avoided.
Plus, I think sometimes it's pretty cool, you have to take into account not just what's in front of you but also what's above you

Oops. Looks like I got served.
dont see how you work that out really. BF2 is a frag fest. UT3 the same. CoD4 you start with 2 nades, and only if you pick certain upgrades do you ever get more. BF2 you can virtually always replenish for example. and hold a fair few.
and yes you can kill the helicopter without becoming unranked. as long as your running your own server.
You can still call them, but they can't attack.

from the Gameservers forum. not a total kill but it stops the thing killing everyone

I love the helicopters. If they weren't there they'd be no variation to the games. Forces you to change your style.

i play on server that has them disabled but is still ranked, like hobgoblin posted, they can still be called but they only fire rockets which never hit anything. i just got my m4 and its great
noob tubers are whats doing my head in now lol
You cant turn it off on ranked servers. If its off your not playing on a ranked server, fine if you want this.
Which is what some people want. Personally I cant stand tactical shooters.
