CoD4 Sucks.

[4p]

I'm having a rant, so what. Call of Duty 4 is GREAT fun for the first few weeks but it lacks re playability. Spray, move, nade, flash, wallbang, spray more, run some more >_>.

Both teams can select all weapons, instant fail.
Wallbanging (penetration) is noob, end.
There is no head shots, it takes TWO bullets to make a head shot, fail.
Spray spray spray, this has been brought into the game.
Small maps, invites ridiculous nades.
Nuclear nades.
Slow weapon switch.
No long range fights.
Air strikes
Helicopters
NADE AFTER NADE

When i first played it i thought the game was amazing, flashy graphics - I'd go as far to say its something new.

But it has been dumbed down for the console tards, the radar is in one hell of a annoying place and all the useless crap all over the HUD.

I'm finding myself playing A LOT more of CoD2 because it has variation and it involves some kind of skill. In CoD4 there is limited protection due to Deep Penetration, anyone who says its a realistic addition WELL it isn't. Nothing is realistic about CoD4, its an arcade shooter made for a bigger market.

Some of my oldest gaming friends are starting to enjoy the older games such as CoD2 and playing less CoD4. CSS has more skill involvement than this game.

That is all i can think of right now /rant.

Nice topic, I will let others flame you

I hate multiplayer games, I only did the SP and one of best games ever IMO,

Haha

SP was great, really good just a lil too short

 

[4p]

Agreed, besides the fact i think cod2 is just as dumbed down. Cod1 was a proper pc game and imo had a better multiplayer component.

I agree cod2 was dumbed down aswell, but not as much as this game.

Cod1 and CodUO were the best MP games i ever played

 

[4p]

Have you ever played hardcore, with max 12 people in total?

Cod4 is so much better on hardcore, with no more ppl than max 16 total.
The less people better, best imo is 4vs4 hardcore. No nade spam, some long range shootings, 1 headshot= kill.

I started on Hardcore, first server i played was HC mode.

I've played HC pcw's, they sucked just as much BECAUSE its one shot kill anywhere on the body.

There is no decent medium for CoD4.

 

[4p]

I Disagree with one statement on that. Hang your head in shame! And my god! those Airstrikes! The chopper that can shoot through walls/thick smoke/buildings. I mean cmon, if an airstrike can kill me inside a building and not do damage to the building AT ALL . . . . . .

Saying that, it is still fun to play with a group on TS.

Ill expand on my point.

If you shoot someone in the foot, then the head (immediately so noob regen cant initiate) then it WILL be a head shot.

Get an AK47 with Stopping power, aim it at someones head on Normal/CB/ED/i33 mode and it will not be a headshot.

cod:uo > cod/cod2/cod4

There is no skill in cod4 at all, it's getting very boring, very quick. And I hardly play public server anyway!

Correct.

 

[4p]

One thing seems strange to me about cod4 and this is all these clans and leagues adopting it, is pc gaming taking a turn towards more and more simplified games? Is dealing with recoil and using grenades properly gonna become a thing of the past?

Thats a point i forgot to add, probably the main point.

No recoil.

In games like coduo and cod2 (lesser) if someone shot at you, you had a chance to actually kill them because the weapons were hard to control. Now that wasn't always the screnario, but it happened.

If you back is turned and someone shoots, you dead. Why? Because the recoil is non-existent, you have no chance. (COD4)

 

[4p]

Barely, to me it seems the "good" players are the ones whoring out all the callins.

In public servers, the first one to get air strike wins.

 

[4p]

If CoD were still active i would be playing it today, it was a top class game and i have some ridiculous 1500 hours on xfire

I've played only 400 hours of cod2 since release and about 150 of cod4.

CoD2 never really bored me, but cod4 has, in under 100 hours :/

 

[4p]

CoD
CoD:UO
CoD 2
CoD 4
?

 

[4p]

owning a console makes you a retard?

YES

I agree it involves no where near as much skill as CoD1 (CoD2 was rubbish imo... unscoped rifles were ruined). It was great running around with a kar98/tommy combo.

Oooh the days

Anyone who is playing TDM should probably go and play a different game. CoD is all about the search and destroy. Nade spam is no problem (well no different from CoD1 anyhow, in CoD1 learning tactical nades was paramount! infact you get less grenades on CoD4 - sans perk ) Spraying is no different from 1 to be honest, plenty of people ran around spraying with a tommy/ppsh.

Yea tac nades were indeed paramount in the earlier series and yea spraying was still a part of the game but it wasn't as much or nearly as bad.

Airstrikes/Heli/long range fighting...again play S&D, although I do agree that even in long grass in a ghille suit which is silly, that chopper still seems to get you, although it only takes 1 rocket and a couple of bullets to take one down.

Overgrown, pipeline, backyard and strike aren't really any smaller than pavlov/railyard/carentan (railyard/pipeline are very similar imho). Plus CoD has always been best with 12-14 people anyways.

Maybe so, but those maps were designed by kings. Bloc reminds me of Pavlov and same feelings with Pipeline. But in no way is there the same gameplay, Bloc only has two floors - Probably the worst design flaw in that map.

Pipeline isn't a bad map for SD though.

I do kind of agree with you on the headshots bit, I think thats a consequence of the console involvement though.

Most annoying thing about this game, if you line a headshot up and shoot the head - You expect him to go down, but no. So this just brings in empty a whole clip into him

Unfortunately for PC gamers consoles are very popular, any game developed for them is going to be dumbed down as the input method is less accurate (common sense), its a fact of gaming and if its a problem don't buy multi-platform games and then whinge aboutit...stick to PC exclusives.

 

[4p]

This nonsense about 2 shots to the head to get a kill annoys me, you are obviously pretty awful and think you're hitting the head but you're obviously not as in both normal and hardcore a headshot is one hit kill.

Wrong.

I've been in numerous PCW's, ask any competitive player. He/She will tell you the same thing.

I've tested it up close, unless you wound them ELSEWHERE prior to shooting the head (FOOT, BODY, LEG?) it will NOT be a head shot.

This thread smacks of "I suck, lets diss the game"

xfire: thorps

Wanna game?

 

[4p]

Fail. Leave.

COD2 was about the worst MP I'd EVER played. In fact COD2 is more "dumbed down for console tarts" than COD4 IMO.

COD:UO was my favourite though

Nah man, nah

CoD4 is a simplified shooter - refer to my first post why i think this

CoD:UO was genius, never got bored of it

Lol more CoD2 in the last 7 days >_>

ahhh mark, the UO days

 

[4p]

"That's just, like, your opinion man."

 

[4p]

Are there still many playing COD:UO? I might reinstall it.

1000 ish servers are online still

 

[4p]

u got issues man, cod2 is the best outa the lot cod2 wasnt released on consoles, that was the big red one, which is a dire game, but cod2 mp on pc, cant beat it.

Why is that quote under my name when clearly it was posted by THIS person

 

[4p]

COD2 was a launch title for the 360!
Regardless, it is a horrific game. No skill - Just walk around, look + shoot 2 bullets for an instant kill, then walk around some more and hope for the best that you don't get randomly shot from nowhere, via the random respawn positions OR nade fest.

Aaaaand then we have CoD4 which has everything you mentioned x5 and much much more

 

[4p]

CoD2 Public is indeed pretty bad.

But CoD4 public is REALLY bad.

CoD2 PCW's are really good fun.

CoD4 PCW's are pretty bad to be fair.

If i could still play UO competitively i would, but the game died last summer in which i participated in the last two UO cups.
