CoD4 Sucks.

[snowdog]

I will never figure out why people think mohaa was such a good multiplayer game. Imo the only reason it got rated as highly as it did was it hit at a perfect time with the ww2 revival of a few years back. Would it suprise you to know initially the game had no mp mode and the modes it came with got slammed into the game during the last few months of development?

I actually like the mp mode but i really don't get why some people rave over it, it had numerous annoying glitches like if a guys leaning around a corner, he could position himself so you could se maybe a half inch of him, no gun no body just part of his clothing, yet from his perspective his gun and all is around the corner and he can shoot you easily. That really got on my ****, then we had the realism mods where everyone armed themselves with the combined machinegun\sniper rifle stg 44 and most of the other weapons got nerfed down. I enoyed it on stock servers, then "realism" became more and more common.

I like both stock realism and realism modes.
The around the corner is pretty useless in some game modes, I like mohaa:s freeze tag mode with 2 shots = kill. The reason I like it it is a non camp keep runnign shooter, the servers I played burned campers, banned rockets etcetc, and had nice fast kills. It took soem serious hours to get good @ vs clanners and others. Even after playing it for years ( not recorded by xfire, played mohaa long b4 that), my kdr still was only 1.3 average. It's all in the aiming and keep walking in mohaa. Stg44/bar was useless on the server I usually played...

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)

Yup all that crap came in with cod2, cod2 had some recoil but from what i remember it was very light and weapons like the stg44 raped mp games for ages.

Getting bloody annoying us getting all these made for console games, i enjoyed the sp aspect becuase it didn't entail the most used storyline in the world, that being "america single handedly saves the planet part 55.000.000" but the multi just got boring pretty quick.

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 :/

*Loads up CS:S*

Now this is the one multiplayer game I've ever really got into. (for me) can play it over and over again.

Cod4 = No. Loved the single player. Multiplayer was just rubbish, and I actually mean rubbish by the standards of nearly any other multiplayer fps game. Real disapointment.

 

[BobBrainy]

cod4 is average as hell, i played it for a week and stopped. Too much random crap coming into it determining how well you do. It's just the same old CoD wrapped up in a new setting.

Back in the day, CoD 1 was very good.

 

[Smoogels]

I never stoped playing UO, Played cod4 sp and mp but it never captured me like UO.

The trouble is people were caught up in the hipe and the wooooow factor of the graphics. It has little more to offer and deff no long term playabilty.

Sorry for the spelling im p***ed

EDIT Can someone PLEASE make a vote thread? Vote for you fav war time shooter. Then we would see how cod4 rate against the rest.

I love cod4.....when you have a decent connection
I mean playing against the americans i seem to have 2 bars when they have 4

BLOODY LAG!!

gets me so annoyed, i see a guy , aim and fire half the clip in my P90 into him. He shoots me and i die in like one bullet
then when watching the kill cam, he sees me and kills me, on his screen i havent even started shooting yet

Now for someone who has a 8mb connection its ridiculous

I agree with the nuclear nades as well, Shipment on hq has to be the stupidest level ever made. spawn.die.spawn.die.spawn.take two steps forward.die

But i must admit the game is addictive as ****, i keep going back to it
Il be 10th prestige one day

10th prestige?
I didn't think the PC had prestige feature ?

My bad
I thought this was in the consoles section
I have it on the PS3

I've only played COD4 once or twice, but from what I could gather they contunued the trend COD2 started by making it too "easy". The weapons are all nearly identical, which very high accuracy at long ranges and almost no recoil.

The beauty of COD1 was the major differences between the weapons. Every weapon had different recoil characteristics which you had to get to grips with in order to use it perfectly. You couldn't get a headhot from 100 yards away with a Thompson or a PPSH, which made the rifles actually worth using.

The game is not that long out I bought it having already played the multi which I too complained of being a nade/airstrike fest I am just hoping for better maps and mods to be released as I am sure they will by the sheer uptake of people on this game.
Bigger maps airstrikes off etc this game will be good.

 

[Rezident]

I liked the ability to shoot through walls at first but it's so badly implemented that it just became annoying. The nade spamming shows exactly why certian other games got rid of nades altogether (and were proven right to do so).

SP > MP for me.

 

[C64]

Maybe the fact that a nade anywhere near you what so ever kills you is the problem, that doesn't happen in cs source for example.
Added to that the map design which allows for nade hot spots so naturally if you join a high player count server then everyones going to be throwing the nades in the same hot spots.

i still miss cod:uo it was my favourite.

cod2 and 4 both suffer from the guys who have played so much of it, they know that from their spawn, if they run forward 20 feet, then turn just to the left of a certain building .... look up 34.6 degrees ... and throw a nade it will explode in the enemys spawn.

cod 2 was just as bas for that as cod4 is now.

yes it sucks.
its random, and if a new person to the game has just started and unintentionally blocks you in certain areas, you know youll die to a nade instead of a bullet.

i think its worse in cod4 though as the bullet penetration and the most annoying thing ever - the chopper.

these people who excel at getting the chopper almost constantly through the game .. i wonder if they realise theyre ruining it for themselves as much as others .. but these days its alkl about getting to the top, not the fun in doing it.

i mostly play S&D on servers with decent admins, its hardcore so it can be annoying to learn as theres no killcam, and with silencer you sometimes dont know what hit you hehe.

i do play tdm on 'normal' servers for maybe 30 mins but the nade spam really annoys me after a while -- theres so much of it on both sides, ppl die and instantly respawn -- with a fresh nade.

and wetwork is the dumbest map ever.

still its all about commercialism i suppose, i expect the more console-y ppl can find the kind of servers they prefer and more old school run and gun people will find the servers they prefer too.

its just a shame though its more about nades and less about actually aiming your gun now.

 

[~>Dg<~]

cod uo is the finest war game online ever made.ive played cod 1 from day of release and had everyone of the cod series on day of release.i am a hardcore cod player (i play too much in other words ) and if i look at the overall skill, learning curves,maps , tactical ,uo is king.it doesnt even look bad its a shame more dont play it.never liked cod 2 cause of the recoil and ease of use of weapons,sniper for instance the wind of a sniper bullet would kill you .

i do like cod 4 but its not as good as uo or 1.i wish they would have remade uo with updated graphics and left everything else the same as everything is perfect.i am starting to go off cod4 and unreal tournement is my next port of call.

 

[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.

My two pence worth:

Loved the SP.

Got bored of MP after about a month, but I can still enjoy it as long its a HC server, with no more than 12 people on it, and not TDM!

Really stuck for something to play at the moment, dusted off my Trackmania United! Oh, and still loving Audiosurf!!!
