COD4 Multiplayer - 360

Thought I would shove this in as a sticky for a while as its popular at the moment.

I've reached the level you need for a clan tag and used >>BD<<. I'm not sure if more than one person is using the same clan tag if it tries to put you on the same server but its worth a try

Feel free to use this thread to arrange team matches

I really like the MP system in COD4, I was all prepared to trade this came after completing the SP missions but decided to renew my Live membership and have a bash (it was this or buy the Orange Box).

I played for about 6 hours yesterday and had a great time

One thing you will need to be aware of is that before you can get a clan tag you need to have increased your experience level quite a lot. If you are good this won't take too long. If you suck (like me) it might take a bit longer.

The MP system has loads of challenges to keep you occupied and unlockeds better weapons, better additions for those weapons like scopes and grenade launchers.

What it does do is slightly skew the game in favor of better players as they will have all the guns available to them but the guns are quite balanced and a good player will be able to hold their own with just a bare M16 and a smile

I think the M16A4 is still the best weapon I've used, and it's the first one you've got available to you. It really needs the Red Dot Sight to be more effective (25 kills with the gun, after you've unlocked the challenges). I really like the challenges though, as you can use them to level up more quickly by swapping between weapons to do their challenges and get the XP points. Doing that will no doubt lead you to a weapon you wouldn't have thought using that you actually find you quite like (like the AK-47 in my case, very powerful if you're accurate enough with it).

The MP in COD4 is easily the best I've ever played.

I agree it is an excellent MP system. I'm currently romping my way to level 30

My favourite weapon at the moment is the M4 with the cog site. Though I'm just going through each of the weapons to get the xp.

My favourite MP game so far as 3 vs 2 on overgrown and my buddy decided to quit so it left me with 3 of them against little ol' me

anyway sniper class came out and I won 70-60. 2 of them ran straight past me with 20 seconds to go and I nearly pooped myself thinking they'd seen me.

If we have the same clan tags will the server try to put us together in the same game? It would seem from what I have seen that if you are the same clan in the same game you tend to get put in the same team but I wondered if the server would look at all players on all servers and shuffle us together?

You have to be in a party for that to happen, clan tags are irrespective. If Leo for example started a game then invited me and you into it, whatever match we went into we'd always be on the same team. It's a great system for making sure you stay on the same side as your friends

Managed to fit in a couple of MP games tonight

Didn't do too badly and managed to move up a rank or two. First game I got 4 kills, 2 assists and 8 deaths. Second game I came out with 10 kills and 4 deaths

Nothing great, but it was all good fun

It is excellent fun really loving it. Anyone fancy some MP over the weekend? Sorry Davey
