Problems with COD4

[[TBAG] MrFiskIt]

Its an absolutely fantastic game but so far this is the stuff that bugs me.

- There are no points of reference on the maps. like Hotel, Square - no waypoints for reference to team mates.

- The ranking system was over too quick for MP. 35-40hrs and you are done.

- Everything outside of the game is terrible. The menu system, the player setup screens, the server selection screens.

- squads. i know. people say your side is the squad... but sometimes i like to talk to only a few of my mates. not the whole side.

- maps are too small. correction - all the maps are fantastic. some of the best maps in gaming ever - but there are no big maps for the long gun whores.

- Kills you get with the commander assets shouldn't count towards your next commander asset bonus. ie - get 7 kills and get the chopper - you get 7 with the chopper and you get another chopper?

- noobtube - not sure what to do about it. it just fucks me off that it is so powerful.

- Mounted gun is too powerful.

thats about it?

i am not having a winge... well i kinda am. but if you could change anything about this game to make it possibly better - what would you want?

i played this game for 12 hours today. so dont think i dont like it.

[nzjeebs]

I think the game is pretty much perfect, i wouldnt change a thing, except for removing the shipment map. I dont mind the noob-tube, i hardly get killed by it so im not sure why everyones so against it, also its annoying all the people going on about stun grenades, i think theyre great, they add another tactical aspect to the game.

And all this stuff with some players thinking they can control what guns other players use by kick vote is taking pathetic to new levels.

I like the quick ranking system, its not supposed to be a mmorpg so it shouldn't really even have levels i spose.

[Lyesalot]

Yeah the mounted machine gun needs to overheat or something. people just spam spam spam on that thing getting you through every wall lol.

Getting sniped on spawn is aids I hope they some how fix that for some of the maps. (Talking S&D here)

Server selection sucks.
The support type machine guns seem really accurate and powerful? or is that just me?

Apart from that the only thing I rage at is people with all the handy perks destroying me. But I only have myself to blame for that as I've decided to turn them all off so I can be more prepared for Iconz comp.

thats probably about all i don't like, along with the amount of time it takes to kill someone, after playing months of cs.

imo the chopper/airstrike shouldn't be available in s&d mode at all.

Server selection sucks.


Yip.

The favorite servers list is fucked. Servers seem to come and go from mine at random. Also hate that if the server is full when connecting it dumps you back at the main menu.

Noob tube is too powerful. My own fault, went to play iconz 1 and every fag and his dog was using it. Winny and I RQd very quickly. So fucking gay.

The mounted MG is too powerful, nubs sit on it whoring it the whole time even in HQ...

[-CowwieStyle-]

They should have done the multi player demo acid test on the pc not the console.

I have this monumental problem with COD4.


Its so frickin addictive my wife has given me the silent treatment for the past week - no wait no problem here, move along ppl move along:heheh:

[swindle]

lol

Give it more then a week, yeah? Im sure future patches will cure some of these issues.

[Goldo]

More problems: M4 and P90 need nerfing. M4 has no recoil and is powerful at any range. Hold down fire and move to target(s).

not true.

the AK is useless at range because of recoil.
The M16 is useless up close cause its down on power and doesnt fire fast enough
the M4 is a balance between the two.

The p90 is also useless at range. but with Double tap and deeper impact it rips shit up up close.

i have 5 different kits setup depending on map - i haven't settle on a "Best Gun" yet

but it would be one of those three so far...

[Goldo]

Any assault rifle where you can hold down the trigger and get no recoil is retarded. Especially with either double tap or power perks, it's very overpowered.

[SneakyNZ]

The major thing for me would be fixing the server browser, It bugs me off that in most cases I have to join via ip address.

And yes I do Have filters set correctly.

wow, you must really hate this game then.

[5loth]

the m4 lacks power, it takes alot to kill somebody. (with no perks that is).

some like the m16, some like the m4, some like the ak, they all work fine, and have their pros/cons.

[swindle]

and then in the next patch they will reduce the amount of damage the guns do, then everyone will think the hitreg is shit and everyone will moan like fuck about that. if its not one thing its another.

this game is balenced, and what the fuck are you complaining about godless? your good at this game.

if the round i was just playing with godless is anything to go by he just runs around with the nade launcher anyways

[swindle]

tuna//fish?

[Bounty Hunter]

steady aim perk + M4 is win!

or steady aim + G3 (unlocked it just now)

[5loth]

G3 is a nasty gun, never used it myself but i seem to get killed by it alot : /

[kiwi_mongo]

Have had a few kills with the G3 when I have picked it up. "I LIKE IT".

Good game. However played a little BF2 after it......was like slipping on a old comfortable sock. Yeah baby.....well a stinking sock with crap graphics.....wish they had some of BF2's game play with the rest of COD.


Match made in heavan.

I bet your computer wouldnt think so. COD4 graphics in bf2 = lag

[mish]

P90 seems like the new g36e. M16 is a pretty good weapon, perhaps a slightly higher rate of fire could be patched in?
If they nerf the Barrett I will be annoyed.

Actually you're quite wrong there, Killer. That's my second account and I'm trying to use the M16 set up and I find I need the tube to give it better lethality from closer range. My kit of choice is normally the MP5 with some perks but I've been trying to bust out of 1 trick pony mode ;)

[Fubar]

Just do what I did.

Wrote down all the IP addresses for ICONZ, Gamearena, Gamers etc then manually add them to your favourites. Problem solved. Took me about 10 minutes to do this now I have no problem with the server browser

ahh this is something I should do.

[Goldo]

Or use game monitor and connect via ip if favourites isn't working :)

[brucewillis2]

That's my second account

what happened to your first account?

[mish]

Aliasing already I see. Thats pr0.

[Goldo]

what happened to your first account?

I wanted to get a feeling for the game before because I remember how terribad I was when I started playing BF2. Thank god I've gotten a bit better and found no need for it. I deleted it the other night.

[TeamWang]

One niggling problem I have with the game is how the hit indicator is offset down and to the right from the sight point on all the gun sights. I find once I start hitting targets I use the hit indicator to line up my next shot because it's so freaking big. Then of course I stop hitting, and lose track of the target :(

I had the same issue with BF2 where the hit indicator was near the left edge of the m16's sight, I didn't know what I should be lining up where.

[Slim]

Noob Tube!!!! Before I began playing and hearing everyone bitching I thought they were just whining for no reason... but seriously... what a fucking joke. At least the one in BF2 took a little skill to use.

The sniper rifles need to be re-balanced... they nerfed them too hard on release. Its pretty tricky to hit a building from 10 paces with the damn things. I love the perks, especially, especially, last stand. A lot of people claim it is cheap, but all it means is you have to pay a little more attention to what you are doing. I've killed 3 ppl running through the doorway before I was eventually killed.

I'm also staring to get to know the maps a little better. I have to say that the ship, and the one set in the Ukraine with that big open area are complete shit house... I would not complain at all if both were taken out of the game completely.

The Game modes are sweet... very sweet. DM doesn't work on the bigger servers, any more than 12 ppl ruin it imo... TDM is a lot of fun. Sabotage and Search & Destroy are bloody sweet. The game modes manage to change the pace of the game very effectively.

Oh and I would also like to see the Rpg's made a bit more powerful... increase the splash damage for example.

Well thats my 2c worth. I've been playing solid for 2 days. Its a lot of fun. I don't even bother checking the score or KDR. I think it will work very well for scrimming, especially the search and destroy mode obviously... However, i would love to see a couple of TDM friendly scrims now and again.
