View Full Version : COD4 Multiplayer - 360
aghhh why don't your team get any better as the dif level goes up!!!
they can't bloody shoot and they get in the way whilst i'm sprinting through this bloody plane... :angry:

it's the way it is I'm afraid mate. People stand in doorways, they get in the way when you can save them from being killed but you both end up dying instead.

Well after some weekend killin' I passed rank 20 and have the M4 which is an awesome rifle. I don't tend to bother with the ACOG scopes as they take too long to aim with and the RDS does an excellent job.
I've also found a new appreciation of backlot and crossfire. They were both levels that used to frustrate me something chronic as I'd always end up killing very little but dying frequently :( though I think my tactical play has improve with my noobish status. One thing that did frustrate me over the weekend was choosing the sniper but then being only left with a pistol so I became a gun klepto ;D collecting everyone else's guns - man I can't wait for Overkill to come back.
Looking forward to Thrusday night as we'll have Davey back and a full team which means we'll own everyone :D

If I want to go as a proper sniper I always take a pistol with me so I can have iron lungs, UAV jammer and 2 claymores with me. It's now becoming my preferred class on a lot of maps as I find more and more spots to snipe people from. Crossfire is definitely one of my favourites for sniping as there are 3 really good spots to hide where you can use claymores to defend yourself :)
I haven't really tried sniping much, have to give it a go sometime. Need to learn the best spots when I do so.
Thursday night should be great fun :D
leowyatt
21-01-2008, 16:34
Are the 3 spots in cross fire;
2 - opposite ends of the map
1 - near your spawn point at the north end of the map?
I'm using a sniper class alot more myself and really enjoying it I'd just like a weapon if i get surprised though that is probably down to me not having claymores.
Found some good sniping spots in Bloc and strike I've found 2 awesome places which I'll show you on Thursday if you like.
Yup those are the 3 points in crossfire. However I like to stand way back and behind an object and just lean past it quickly to take a peak, then hold my breath and go straight to the target so he can't get a shot off. I'm trying to complete the killer challenges so have to be in prone to kill people when sniping. I like ambush, that has a lot of nooks and cranies to hide in to snipe. Overgrown and pipeline are great sniper levels too as you can really "disappear". I tend not to use UAV jammer and use deep impact instead, but I might have to start using that - though if there's a kill cam they'll be able to see where you are from that even with UAV jammer?
I'm using the r700 (best distance accuracy:power ratio) until I can unlock the 50cal - though the M21 is quite good as it's semi auto, though the ACOG sight is quite tricky but quicker once you get the hang of it. Iron longs plus holding breath works best for long distance shots.
Dammit I want to play more! Only managed to clock up 32hrs of play time, though I've done pretty well so far! :D There are some very vyer good people out there though!
leowyatt
21-01-2008, 16:56
though if there's a kill cam they'll be able to see where you are from that even with UAV jammer?
If I can't immediately see the person who shot me I always use the kill-cam to see where the shot came from. If you're sniping properly you'll do 2 kills and move to your next location. Have you thought about the perk combination Claymores, Stopping Power and Extreme Conditioning?
I use iron lungs, deep impact and claymores. :) Oh yeah I move around, especially on hardcore maps, in prone and I seldom get caught - I run out of bullets though :(
I need to get better with the G3 and at close combat as well as being quicker off the mark at stabbing people.
leowyatt
21-01-2008, 17:29
I find stabbing to be hit and miss if you come face to face with someone. If you come from behind (fnar) then it's much easier. The G3 is one of my favourite long range rifles as it forces me to be super accurate.
I always run out of bullets too ;D
I end up forgetting to stab them :o Just shoot them in the head instead.
leowyatt
21-01-2008, 18:00
I usually don't forgot just my aim with the knife is very dodgy. Sometimes I hit them as I go past, other times I miss 4-5 times and they kill me with 1 swipe which really annoys me :angry:
What I love (and this is cruel) is running past n00bs whilst they're shooting at you and missing and you just slash 'em running past :D
It might be easier on the PC?
Yeah the G3 with the ACOG is about the only combination where the ACOG actually works nicely.
I might have to start using the bandolier perk - but I like deep impact as shooting people through walls is pretty hardcore :cool:.
leowyatt
21-01-2008, 18:22
you can have both :D If I'm using am LMG I always go for bandoiler and slight of hand, it's bloodbath ;D
Oh I might look into that! :D
leowyatt
21-01-2008, 19:52
it's also funny to have an LMG with juggernaught as people just can't understand why you won't die ;D

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb117/357_Sniper/110607_cod4MAPS_crossfire--screensh.jpg
1) Top floor of the building at the bottom right of the map.
2) Top floor of the building on the very right of the map.
3) Top floor of the building in the top left, left of the alley, facing down the right of the map.
All 3 spots have good places to put claymores down to cover yourself if someone tries to come behind you to knife you. My personal favourite is the one on the bottom right as you've got coverage by the walls, there's only one way to the section (a ladder), and you can cover 2 different directions. :)
leowyatt
21-01-2008, 21:34
Hadn't thought of the ladder place but yeah a good idea. I thought of the far left as an interesting place you are far enough away to see people coming through the door ways and you can catch people trying to get to place number 3.
Ladder place is the best as you can hide in the shadows. There's always someone in the bus that tries to sneak one to your head but I tend to get them first! :D
leowyatt
24-01-2008, 10:57
Anyone around for tonight?
Davey_Pitch
24-01-2008, 10:59
Yes yes yes yes yes :D
the G3 with the ACOG
just started hitting that one up recently after you said that - lovin it!
was previously just using red dot, which is good, but not so good for the distance i like to use my G3 for :)
found a new preference for the G36C this time round as well. With a silencer it rocks!
Yeah silenced and with it's rate of fire it is pretty good.
I'm currently playing with the M14 - I'll see how I get on with that.
We're out for dinner tonight at a friends so won't be around for some getting killed.
Justsomebloke
24-01-2008, 11:49
^^ Bloody Typical ;D
I'd just come in here to say i got sent a 48 hour pass an all, You out socialising at posh dinner partys Poofter :p
I'll fire me sexbox up over the next day or so & when folk are actually decent enough to cancel there prior posh engagements we'll game :)
*removes tongue from cheek*
It actually started out as going around to help him with his computer and setting up some email accounts....which then turned into dinner :p
We may well be back early enough so I'll check to see who's online and maybe join in for a game or two :D
leowyatt
24-01-2008, 12:12
You up for it then Malc?? Nice one :)
Hope you are about Jamie.
Rogerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! You about mate? Or should I say Pheebs is he allowed to play? :p
i never seem to have much luck joining games with friends... always goes tits up, but i'll be around so will attempt to have a game :)
got a couple in last night, but obviously had a fair few time outs and general failure to connect issues!
leowyatt
24-01-2008, 12:43
well not to worry Mark we'll make sure we can get you in on the action :) Everyone seemed to connect ok to me last week so hopefully it'll work this week.
I'll be about :) 8ish as usual?
leowyatt
24-01-2008, 13:04
Yeah between 7:30-8 :)
Ok :) I'll be about from 8, need something to eat first.
leowyatt
24-01-2008, 13:08
damit Jennifer you better be there for 8 :p
Yes sir :p
*salutes the boss*
I'm not sure if I can make it tonight. I've been invited to a networking party full of suit wearing people, so really dull stuff. I've got to get a few shots and maybe do some networking. Just sooo boring, chit chat and schmoozing. It starts at 6pm so we'll see. I'd much prefer to be playing COD4 :) Annoyingly its good to network... booo.
I'll be about :) 8ish as usual?
pfft, thats a bit late...
on from 6ish :cool:
nowt else to do...
leowyatt
24-01-2008, 14:45
Well we'll start as close to 8 as possible and if someone comes online just send a message to one of us and when the current match finishes we'll get you in.
I'll try to be there... depends on several factors
1) lesson planning from now
2) dogs sleeping habits / behaviour ;)
3) tiredness after 1) +2) ;)
I reckon I'll be there on time, my appetite's vanished as I can't swallow very well (I'll say the fnaar now :p) at the moment.

leowyatt
24-01-2008, 20:55
are you really ;) :p
I'll be on shortly.
Good game guys - apologies for my bouts of swearing...:o
A few times I thought 'OMG Pickers actually swears :shocked:' ;D
You swear even less than I do 99% of the time so don't worry it :p
Was good fun tonight :D Definitely seem to play better when with friends.
leowyatt
24-01-2008, 23:16
Great game tonight guys. We rocked at Sabotage :D shame it doesn't reward you with more xp :(
Domination was great though and HQ wasn't bad depending on the map that is.
Yeah we were amazing on Sabotage :D Couldn't believe it when we won the first map so quickly.
Davey_Pitch
25-01-2008, 10:44
I really enjoyed it last night, reminded me why I missed it so much when I didn't have Live. Definitely better playing with a full team of friends, the communication is so much better and it makes it more enjoyable.
Oh, and Bog is great with a sniper rifle on Headquarters, especially when the HQ is by the container at the top of the map. Hide in the corner and take people's heads off :D

Davey_Pitch
25-01-2008, 11:30
I love my silenced P90, with the high rate of fire it's easy to take people out when you get a good lock on them. The only problem is that it's mag capacity isn't that high so I often have to reload after taking someone out, which can leave me vunerable.
aye - thats why i'm not using it atm. kept getting caught like a newb in free-for-alls whilst i'm there messin around with a new mag! a 'quick' switch to my d'eagle just was never quick enough.

I had a similar problem with the SAW I'd get there and manage to hold it whilst trying to get it and then I'd run out of ammo and couldn't take people out ;D
Can't wait for bandolier to unlock again I've missed that :(
Oh, and Bog is great with a sniper rifle on Headquarters, especially when the HQ is by the container at the top of the map. Hide in the corner and take people's heads off :D
Watching how well you were doing with it quite encouraged me to give it a go. Probably wait till I get some of the SMG challenges done then switch to a sniper for a bit. It'd do my patience good :D
leowyatt
25-01-2008, 12:44
Sniper is very good on that level, especially if you can hold that corner. I just need overkill back so I can have an assault rifle though I am quite nifty with the pistol now. It does surprise and scare people when I rush at them firing the pistol ;D
Davey_Pitch
25-01-2008, 13:10
I love Overkill as on most maps I love having the .50cal as my backup weapon. Just being able to sit back for a moment to get a few quick kills is excellent and always a good option if the other players are better in close combat than I am :)
leowyatt
25-01-2008, 13:21
I hate being stuck with just the sniper so usually end up picking up the first weapon I find. We should see if we can get some private matches going as there will be enough of us. Andy from work is getting a copy shortly so we could have some fun matches, I'd like to try sabotage with the first to 10 bombs could be interesting.
Private matches could be fun :)
HAve to say I was loving the sniper also on bog map HQ... racking up my most awesome ever 20+ kill streak :D :D
That was a great kill streak Pickers :D
Davey_Pitch
25-01-2008, 22:27
Didn't realise your kill streak was so high Pickers, that's brilliant :D
20 kill streak :shocked: What do you get for that? Tactical nuke?
20 kill streak :shocked: What do you get for that? Tactical nuke?
erm... I think I swore in exaltation...:o
manged to get about 4 kills with my pistol after my sniper bullets ran out... was tres enjoyable.
Bah I'm stuck on 17!! :( That's awesome! Where do you hide in the bog for that kill streak?!
Davey_Pitch
27-01-2008, 21:02
I was on a 19 kill streak when the server I was on crashed :( Was so gutted as I had someone lined up for the 20th kill as well. :/
leowyatt
27-01-2008, 21:53
Bah I'm stuck on 17!! :( That's awesome! Where do you hide in the bog for that kill streak?!
You know the 20ft standard cargo container on the far side of the map? If you head through that container towards the stranded tank making sure that is on your right it's just by the concrete wall at the end in the corner. If you follow those directions you'll see where I mean.
Bah I'm stuck on 17!! :( That's awesome! Where do you hide in the bog for that kill streak?!
I often find sitting on the bus side of that buldozer to be a good spot if you can lie/crouch down :)

I often find sitting on the bus side of that buldozer to be a good spot if you can lie/crouch down :)
It's very difficult to see people there......come to mention it I remember being killed by some goit on the HQ map :p that was you wasn't it ;)
that was you wasn't it ;)
judging by my track record in connecting to games that i specifically opt for then i'd say no... so other l33t soldier pwnin newbs i guess :D :p
Overgrown on domination is very fun as you can snipe and cover a & b near the barn in complete secrecy - I've had people walk right over me without realising - until I knife them or shoot them with the pistol in the head :D
Davey_Pitch
28-01-2008, 12:16
Overgrown is one of my favourite maps simply because I enjoy being a sniper so much. There are several good spots to pick from when sniping people, especially as you say on modes like Domination where you can stay by zones you know the enemy will try to take. HQ is good for that as well as they always run to the HQ and you can be half a map away sniping them :D
leowyatt
28-01-2008, 12:38
I always enjoy C4'ing A on overgrown :D "We're loosing A" *KABOOOOOOM* ;D
leowyatt
30-01-2008, 13:31
So who is about this week? We have more than 6 last week and if it looks like we'll get more perhaps we should look at a private match though I'd be interested to see if we have more than 6 if the other 2 are on a different team.
leowyatt
30-01-2008, 13:35
Cool, I emailed Jon today and he should be up for it. Hopefully I've pestered Andy here in our office to get it in time for Thursday ;D

You can only have 6 in a party, no more than that I believe. Any extra people would have to start a seperate party.
Oh, and I'm in of course. I'll find out if Colin fancies playing again too :)

bummer was hoping we'd stay in the same party but end up on opposite teams. Infact doesn't that happen if we join a game in progress. Could always give it a go ;D
Yeah hopefully Colin is around. I think we're up to 5 so far :D me, jen, you, pete, jon yeah 5.
Rog??? Jamie?
Should be about I think. I've been struggling to play this recently, I just can't get my head into it enough, I'm too slow and I get frustrated and turn it off.
Sinead is at the gym tonight so I'll give it a whirl and see how I get on. I need to be in the right frame of mind to play. If I sit in the wrong position I can't play properly. I know it sounds odd, but I can't sit back. I have to lean forward to be on the ball.
leowyatt
30-01-2008, 14:09
haha me too Jamie. Can't sit back on the sofa and play I need to be perched on the corner ready for action ;)
I'm the exact opposite :o
Last week when we were playing, I didn't feel all that for some reason so I was sitting on the floor leaning against a beanbag and with the quilt cover round me.
Yet I managed to play better than I normally do I think ;D
I did used to find with Counterstrike that if I stopped trying so hard, I'd end up playing better. No idea why.
I'm usually uber tense and have to concentrate to keep up otherwise I die within seconds of respawning!
I wish they'd mix the 360 and pc online matches that would be fun, though I guess one may have an advantage over another.
The dabbled a bit with cross platform balance with Shadowrun. One thing they did was make PC players reticule go bananas when they turn damn fast.. not really sure how well it worked as I always played with a 360 pad anyway :D
It's a toughie really. Same with balancing RTS games.
Davey_Pitch
31-01-2008, 15:05
Aye, I'll be there :)
davey you really need to update that blog... its no longer new, and august was a long time ago!
:p
Davey_Pitch
31-01-2008, 16:57
Yeah I know, Nokkon keeps bugging me about it too. I'll update it soon, I promise! :o
ur as bad as me :p
my mates deleted my RSS feed because i didn't update in ages :o
Not sure if I'm on tonight but I'll try and make it :)
Had a few games last night and got into the swing of things again :D Played a fair bit of Sabotage and managed to plant and defuse the bomb a few times. Got my aim back in and then I was about to pack up when I thought I'd try the G3 for a bit just for a laugh. Holy ****, once you get used to it, people drop like a sack of spuds after a couple of decent shots. Going to keep using it until I get the red dot sight now :D
Hope you can make it :)
I'll be on shortly.
I'll be on a bit too. Just getting a drink.
Bugger, I'm out :( Got things I need to get done before the weekend and this is my only opportunity.
If I can, I'll catch up later on. :)
I like the barratt - it's now my favourite sniper rifle. The m14 is a nice replacement to the g3 especially with the acog scope. I think machine guns are better with RDS but single shot work well with the acog. LMG definitely needs the grip.
gonna try and get online myself :)
bit of a break from burning out :D
Figured I'd get the writing sorted out after :p
Was good fun :D Couldn't believe on Bog when I kept getting airstrikes all the time ;D I was desperately trying to get a heli but I kept dying before that.
Think that's my best game yet, ended with 31 kills 15 deaths :)
leowyatt
31-01-2008, 23:17
Good fun tonight guys, need to get back into it though, was a little rusty.
Is there "hardcore" mode on the 360 on MP?
Davey_Pitch
01-02-2008, 00:38
Sorry for cutting off early tonight guys, Lynne was off to bed and demanding huggles. I really enjoyed tonight, and it's the only time I can remember where every single game I had more kills than deaths (bar one which was 21 kills, 3 assists and 21 deaths). If I carry on like that I may eventually get my K : D ratio back near 1:1 :)
We're all improving steadily I think :)
Definitely helps the enjoyment!
Yeah there is. :)
Cool! They're my favourite types of maps much harder and more realistic - I can't stand when people pick me off shooting at the hip - unless they're up close to me of course.

New maps on the way....
US, February 4, 2008 - New downloadable multiplayer maps are on the way for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Activision and Infinity Ward announced today.
The maps, Call of Duty 4's first wave of downloadable content, are in the works for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game and are scheduled for release in the spring. No mention was made of potential PC versions of the maps.
"We're excited about the new maps, and the added gameplay variety, and we can't wait to wrap things up and get online with everyone," said Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling.
Infinity Ward hasn't said what environments we should expect to see in the new map set, only that they will "thrust gamers into a hot zone of added combat across a variety of intense multiplayer locales."
http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/849/849339p1.html?RSSwhen2008-02-04_105400&RSSid=849339
Looking forward to whatever maps we get, added variety is never a bad thing :)

Ugh... player maps are great and all but the IW maps seem more polished.
Everyone raring to go for tomorrow? :D
Not actually played since last time round, I find I enjoy it much more with friends.
leowyatt
06-02-2008, 15:30
I'm about tomorrow, shall we try and get John on the other team again ;D
What time do people want to start 8? Was good fun last time and we rocked at domination. I really need to rank up but am desperately trying to finish AC so I can get DMC4.
8 is good for me :)
I want to rank up too but keep getting distracted by other games as I'm trying to get more completed so I can sell them.
Everyone raring to go for tomorrow? :D

Completely agree. I should be about tomorrow, I hope.
Davey_Pitch
06-02-2008, 16:22
I'll be around tomorrow :)
Should be OK for tomorrow night too :)
Should be on for a while tonight as well whilst Sinead is at the gym.
Had a few games last night. One on wetwork where the other team were just a whole level above ours. Their top guy had 59 kills and 13 deaths on a Sabotage game and the second place wasn't far behind.
After that massacre I had another few games and managed to get the red dot scope for the G3.
Then I had a real funny moment on Crash in a game of domination. I heard over comms that they were storming our C flag and had captured it. I said "don't worry, on my way". By the time I pegged it around the corner, most of their team were there. I quickly backed out whilst popping off my noob toob twice which wiped out some. That was followed by a gren and stun gren which got one more. I then pegged it in and took out another with the G3 and then captured the base back. After I'd done that some of my team mates turned up and started laughing that there was nobody there :D
Not quite sure how I pulled it off but it looked real pro ;D
Aye, I had a few games last night and i'm lovin the scorpion with an rds on free for all. It needs reloading a lot but it certainly is a nice quick and easy weapon leading to plenty of wins :)
Nice one Desmo :D
Go for my patented method of grenade throwing, throw them randomly then wait for 3+ people to die ;D
leowyatt
07-02-2008, 13:02
Nicely done Jamie :D more of that tonight please ;)
I've got a match in a tournament for an xbox forum tomorrow so tonight I'd better do well in preparation :D
leowyatt
07-02-2008, 13:13
If you can do this (http://www.wegame.com/watch/Flash_on_the_head_BOING_O_M_G_D/) you should win the tournament :D
leowyatt
07-02-2008, 13:40
So tonight we have, me, Jen, Davey, Pete, Desmo. Anyone else? John's just emailed me to ask if we're playing, I think he wants to be on our team tonight ;D
I'll hopefully be on tonight but I'm coming down with a stinking headache and cold. Sinead had it last night and now it's my turn :/
leowyatt
07-02-2008, 13:44
oh dear :( hope you're feeling better soon Desmo :)

07-02-2008, 16:31
Andy my mate at work wants to get in on the action too so we might be worth going to private matches if everyone doesn't mind that tonight. It'll be his first go so be nice :D
If it's a private match, won't it make the teams much smaller?
I'd prefer more frantic action really. But I'll go with the majority.
tonight I will mostly be drinking fine ale. I might make an appearance later though as we'll all have work on the morrow, so it wont be a late one.

Well I'm just trying to make sure we stay together. If we go private there will be me, you, davey, pickers, desmo, show, andy, jon, colin which is 9 of us so that'll be 4 vs 5, but if show isn't on till later that'll be 4vs4.
If people want to play online then we'll have to be on different teams.
Ok, just seems a bit low is all :/
But like I said, I'm fine to go along with it.
I'm hoping to be on in a bit. Didn't realise it was so late and I've gotta work out something with the parents as they have the room.
sorry I left suddently - dog attacked me and my headphones when the other team starting making "odd" sounds.

yeah but we hadn't been at the pub :p
Good game last night, I did get rather frustrated at times but on the whole we rocked. I think we have sabotage down to a fine art but I wish it lasted longer. We did have one game though which lasted a good 12-15 minutes which was great, sadly though we lost it ;D
We were much better at Sabotage...we seem to talk more in that game than on Domination for some reason. Mind you, those Rags guys were pretty **** hot :/
Seemed to lose my way with the G3 last night so went back the M16.
leowyatt
08-02-2008, 11:04
The RAGS guys were sweet, picked up some good tactics for Crash on domination.
I couldn't really find my weapon last night but ended up going back to the MP5 as I really like the feel of it. On a side note finally completed my M403A challenge, 100 kills get it! :D
I really hated that close quarters game with rags. Nade spam central. Really did enjoy sabotage later though.
Aye, on Crash they had us pinned in good and proper. Just couldn't seem to get out.
leowyatt
08-02-2008, 11:40
Shipment is always a disaster Pete unless you are the one calling in the airstrikes and heli all the time :(
I think we should employ their tactic on crash from now on ;)
With Domination, we till need to rush the middle flag as a team and get it captured and held down. Then just one person (maybe two) can drop back and capture our flag. What we currently do is a few stop at our flag and capture it whilst two or three go for the middle flag. They get shot by bigger numbers who then capture middle and hold it.

Good plan Desmo :)
No worries Davey did think you were busy, next week it is :D
Some of the challenges are impossible! Like killing 2 people with one claymore. Shooting someone's C4 and killing them with it... etc.... I've been at level 55 for several days and have completed most of the challenges and unlocked most of the weapon challenges - I guess it's time to get l33t! :p
I ****ing hate bunny hoppers though :mad:

Aye... and then I pulled it off the other day after shooting another guys claymore ;D
leowyatt
08-02-2008, 14:29
the only way I can suggest is to have sonic boom with claymores and do it on a busy patch.
Finally got myself Overkill perk :D
Going to use an M16/Sniper combo. What do you guys do?
leowyatt
11-02-2008, 18:16
Well I was never usually one for sniping but I'm really getting into it now so I'd probably go for the M16/M4 + M403A.
For close quarters I would probably pick something like the M4/G36C + MP5/AK47U
Who's up for it tomorrow? :)

Bah I forgot what day it was *grumbles* :p
I've created a new profile so I can start from scratch - pretending to be a noob and killing people is fun! :D
I quite like overkill but it does remove some useful perks. Which arguably are more important - I might have to start playing with it more though. Sniper and M4 would be my choice or an SMG.

Yes mate, most of us are 360. We play most Thursday nights at around 8pm until whenever. I'll add you to my friends list as I'm sure others will and will make sure you get in on some action :)

Thursday nights are good :) Nice to see the patch is on its way too!!
wow, can't wait for that patch - especially the networking stuff as that will hopefully fix the woeful experience users with overloaded connections like mine get :)
What is it with the frickin' sniper rifles? I can't seem to hit **** with them :/
I was on Wetwork last night and was sitting at the top of my tower and shooting right across the map. Nobody could see me and I kept shooting at the guys at the other end who were standing completely still at the time. I only managed to shoot one person in god knows how many shots. I got so pissed off I turned the game off, lol.

Remember to lead the target if you're a fair distance away, as obviously the bullet takes time to get to the other side of the map. Go for the body more if you're having trouble getting headshots as a single shot can often be enough to take someone down.
Practise is the main thing though. I was rubbish with the sniper to start with but now I think I'm pretty handy with it, especially on maps like Bog and Crossfire. They're excellent maps to snipe on as they have several good spots.
Also don't use the Barrat - it's not that good a sniper rifle. The R700 is where it's at. :)
i'm on now.
nowt happening here tonight. although i do have to go put my pizza in't oven shortly...
Bloody loved up people :p

Indeed. Less wuving more killing. I should be on in a bit :)
Some good games in there somewhere :) Decided to call it a night as I've got a spot of work to get done.
that last game I was in was good fun :D
leowyatt
15-02-2008, 10:29
That sabotage game was ace, my highest ever XP score there :) I think that type of game really really works if you have an opposing team which works well together. We've had games before were we've finished in less than 3 minutes :(
Sorry I wasn't on long. Various aches were getting to me so I just wasn't in the mood :( Think I was just too tired.

15-02-2008, 10:56
No worries Jen, was glad you got on. Just read this (http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/852/852464p1.html) on IGN and it's an interesting read.
Can't wait for the patch to come out!
ha, just been catching up on Engadget and check this out....

I highly disagree, the Barrett is the best sniper rifle in the game as far as I'm concerned, not found anything that comes close to it.
leowyatt
15-02-2008, 17:23
When I had the barrett I found it too inconsistent with registering a hit. The M403A I found was more accurate.

Maybe on the xbox - but on the PC it's just not as accurate, sure it's powerful, but it's just not as accurate. My accuracy is far higher with the R700. Obviously this has nothing to do with the game, but in real life bolt action rifles are superior to semi automatic sniper rifles. The barret is an awesome gun, but for a mroe fixed position long distance sniper cannon. It's like a sledge hammer to the R700's surgeon's blade. Both are lethal if used in the right way. I guess I just don't have the knack for it. If you look on the "stats" the R700 has higher accuracy, whereas the barret has higher range. In real life the barret is used to fire ordenance rounds and destroy lightly armoured vehicles and larger targets. The size of the bullet (including casing) is over 5 inches long. It's a frickin' cannon! lol!
In real terms and in game terms the barret is the most powerful yes, but not the most accurate.
I'll see if I can find the site that gave it's verdict - which I agree with. Don't get me wrong the M82 is fantastic, but not in the application of this game for me. :)
When I had the barrett I found it too inconsistent with registering a hit. The M403A I found was more accurate.
The modified R700 (effectively the M403A) IS more accurate, but it's bullet power is reduced as a result.
leowyatt
15-02-2008, 17:42
For anyone that has seen Smoking Aces did the sniper have a barrett? If so, man that gun is powerful.
Never seen it - but the M82 can go clean through armoured vehicles with the correct ordanance. It's not a penetrative weapon as it's all about the type of round, though purely on size of round it's more a rip the mother****er to pieces weapon! :D
leowyatt
15-02-2008, 17:56
Yep sounds about right ;D men hit by bullets were flying around like they were on wires :(
A .50cal round would easily rip a head or a limb off, or just leave a huge cavity in your torso. Not a nice thing really. Especially with an explosive round. :(
Dudes - I have been playing some CoD4 MP this weekend. I'm not terribly good yet, I don't really know the maps so I end up doing a lot of running and hiding :D
I am on PC, are there many others here it would be fun to play online with someone who I actually "know"! Can XBOX'ers and PC'ers play against each other? My knowledge of such things is limited.

Do you have any favourite servers? Post up the IPs and perhaps you can kick my ass for a while one day :D
I don't really - I tend to go where there's a decent number of people but not too many - I hate overly crowded maps, and generally try to keep to low ping servers. What servers do you play on?

I generally play on the battleforce servers (http://battleforce.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=2480). If I just want a quick blast I just pick the lowest ping type of game I am after.
and generally try to keep to low ping servers. What servers do you play on?
I wish we had the ability to do that on the xbox - my connection is generally really bad in terms of pings and packet loss which leads to lots of connection time-outs and generally laggy games :(
I'll have a ganders when I get home, maybe we can organise something :)
Definitely! It's about time the PC boys had somewhere to hang out!

Not about this weekend, usually play round 2100 - 2200 sometimes later depending on work, stress, sleep etc. Have we got access to a Teamspeak server?
Could put one on the BD server if you haven't, not sure what the lag would be like though, we're hosted in the states.

Can I play can I play! Weekends are good. Evenings are a bit hit and miss.
Well, I've completed COD4 on veteran difficulty and dead chuffed :D
Still got a few achievements to get (the epilogue on veteran is probably NOT going to happen ;)!!) but got a warm sense of achivement when I completed my first fps on hardest setting (I always used to get bored on my second play through)

its not complete without the epilogue done!!!
the game is easy - running the plane in under 1min is not.
I got in sight of the door yesterday and there was one guy left behind me that didn't die... bar steward shot me in the back.
Quick question do you guys use the default controls for aiming? Or do you leave auto aim on?
I had a go earlier and couldn't hit a barn door :( Just can't get to grips with the aiming using the analogue stick :(
Any advise greatly appreciated. :)
I trundled around a few servers last night and got my ass handed to me. I hope you boys and girls aren't good at this or I am in trouble.
Loki get your servers posted up fella, stop pretending work is more important! :D

Not sure of my movements tonight. Sinead is taking a night off from the gym so I might not be on as much as normal. Will probably get an hour to dabble though.
