It's not so much my main weapons I want to swap around as I tned to find one and use it a lot to get the tasks completed. But I find that on some maps I want the red dot sight and others I want the ACOG sight. But I now need to use two classes just for a slight change. Or maybe I want some claymores on one particular map (not that I've unlocked them yet) but you can't just make that quick swap without changing your class.

In fact, if classes were split it would be better. Maybe a few weapon classes for guns, classes for explosives for your grens, fb's, claymores, etc and another set of classes for Perks. You can quickly select one from each at the beginning of a round.

That's exactly why i like FPS. Sod all that tactics malarkey or precision gaming just Steam about slaughtering the innocent

Other games are for thinking, FPS is for Killing

haha like your style malc but from my experience on COD4 it isn't as easy as that. There are scarily good people on there

Looking forward to our next session guys.

^^ I have COD4 on the PC mate & ranked up to Major in a few days

As the maps are so small it suits my Full on rage style

VaultingSlinky knows what i mean as i was a Notorious sprayer on original COD. With 4 i find my speed & accuracy just whats needed in such a small frantic environment. Don't forget i've been playing Huge maps for the last 2 years on BF2.
Of course this won't be the case when i get it on the 360 as i will be Super noob, all Thumbs & fingers in knots

Been playing Headquarters this afternoon. We HAVE to give this a good run out on our next session. It's a great team game and think it's one of my favourites now.

^^ Can i say Told you so

I was playing Sabotage earlier today, and found that to be good fun as well, though as it can go on for a while I often found the host quitting which was a right pain in the arse. I'll give Headquarters a go soon

Headquarters is the type of game that if you even remotely play as a team when the others don't....you'll absolutely slaughter them. I was getting very frustrated this afternoon when my guys just seemed to want to kill the enemy without even thinking of making the objective any kind of priority. I quit that server and tried again and ended up with some guys who were at least playing the game properly

Had a much better time of it then.

If you've not played Headquarters before, here's the basics. Start the map and wait for the HQ to be designated on the map. First team to capture it gets the points and then have to hold on to it for as long as possible. The defending team does not respawn. The attacking team does. Once the attacking team have captured the HQ from you another one appears somewhere on the map. It's one long game but the HQ's keep appearing in different places so it's a mad rush to get there first.

As with capturing all things in COD4, the more of you that are trying to capture the quicker it happens so it's imperative that you get as many people to the HQ as you can. And this is what wasn't happening in my first games. I seemed to be the only one rushing to the HQ. I'd arrive, start to capture and then get shot to pieces by the other team. If I'd had at least two other guys with me, we'd have had the HQ captured and then taken up deffensive positions.

Would love to play more HQ as it was a blast when I played it last so I'm definitely voting for that next week. I only played 2 short games but it was good and our 3 man team did play together but we got slaughtered by the better team.

After some playing yesterday I came to two conclusions - the M60E4 is rubbish, while the P90 is excellent. I was only using the M60E4 to get the 150 kills for it, and I really wasn't enjoying it. When I was done I moved onto the P90 which is a brilliant gun, with an exceptional rate of fire. I was getting some good kill steaks with it and some very accurate killing. It'll keep me going until level 44 when I unlock the M4
