Why you gotta act like a scumbag PC nerd like that Moot? Why? Seriously answer the question.

Well, shooters are generally better on PC. You can also adjust your game settings to allow for a longer connect time, which was a problem for the PC awhile ago. By default it allowed you to connect to a server for 10-11 seconds, and in peak times, the master server wouldn't always get you connected in that time. If you change that value to 30 seconds, you stop timing out.

That problem has been fixed though, and it was all on their side.

is it bad if I played through storymode and barely remember any of it, except the plane in the end? I think I should play over in a harder mode, although I still had issues in some of the field missions with 20 guys rushing you and having to pretty much sneak around to advance to get them to stop coming at you :/

Ran into the #1 ranked dude on the ps3 version (strykillaz?), map was Shipment/Headquarters. I was pretty much fucking floored at how quickly he racked up kills, he called in helicopter support literally about 10 seconds into the match.

I left the room when he had about 50 kills in about 3 minutes, I'm not easily impressed, but jesus christ. Then again I'm pretty sure he had logged in about 12+ days of playtime which is just fucking obscene.

I usually hate that map just because you only live for about 3 seconds, but what I do is take the RPD, martrdom, 3 frag and just shoot from the hip, while tossing nades everywhere, which usually gets me 70-80 kills, which is average in a hectic match I think lol.

edit: I've been downloading game settings for 45min now. -_-

which is what everyone else basically does, so you get tiny maps with nades flying everywhere and no real skill needed to get kills.

CoD4 seems to require skill only a few times a match, other times you are getting the first shot, or they are on you, or you get a kickass grenade throw from the otherside of the map. It's not a big deal, but people were criticizing Halo 3 for the similar reasons apparently. All I know, Martyrdom can suck a dick.

[Elcura]

I'd say that was the case with most FPS, but in CoD4 it seems way more apparent. Also, Killcam + small maps make sniping the worst idea ever, which sucks cause I love sniping.

Yeah its impossible for me to snipe, I normally change locations after a kill, but fuck I don't want everyone I kill to see where I was.

[Elcura]

yeah, in other FPS sniping is all a matter of finding a kickass position (which could take up to 20 minutes or more) then owning the fuck outta everything not on your team.

Well, I guess CoD4 prepares you more for mid/close range encounters (which is usually a matter of WHO SEES WHO FIRST?!)

Yeah its totally about Urban run and gun. Which there is nothing wrong with that but the people higher ranked have a huge advantage in the perks that they get and the weapons. I just use the G3C6 with the perks of Double ammo, stopping force (or what ever its called to do more damage) and steady aim.

I prefer run and gun on Hardcore just people people actually die realistically in that mode, but I never noticed that it doesn't show kill cam, I'm too busy spamming F.

I believe if you stay scoped in while sniping they can't really tell where you are from killcam, but yea still not going to help much but may get you an extra shot or two.

Yeah that works for the most part... if you are NOT in one of the handful of overused sniping spots in every level that EVERYONE knows about. Like Crossfire for example, everyone knows there is going to be snipers in the buildings at both ends of the street... never fails.

Didnt want to make a new thread for this and in case anyone cares:

Dear Xbox LIVE Members:

During this past holiday season you helped us break a number of Xbox LIVE records. This included our largest sign-up of new members to Xbox LIVE in our 5 year history and just yesterday you broke the record for the single biggest day of concurrent members ever on the service.

As a result of this massive increase in usage we know that some of you experienced intermittent Xbox LIVE issues over the holiday break. While the service was not completely offline at any given time, we are disappointed in our performance. I would like to take this moment to thank you each and every one of you for your patience and understanding as our team has worked around the clock to return the service to a stable state.

At the same time we would like to offer a token of our appreciation to all of you in celebration of record success for the service. And as a thank you for your loyalty during this holiday period, we will be offering all of our Xbox LIVE members around the world access to a full Xbox LIVE Arcade game that will be available to download free of charge. In the coming weeks we will be sharing the specific details of this offer with you.

Thank you again for helping make Xbox LIVE everything that it is today!

Sincerely,
Marc Whitten

Does this mean that Halo officially blows ass, and CoD4 is now the ultimate bestest game ever?

I don't want CoD4 to turn into Halo, CoD4 is actually fun :/

COD4 is amazing. only revision i can think of is the freaking lethality of airstrikes because dying consecutively from airstrikes is ridiculous. also, grenade can really use another half a second or a second delay in detonation time.

[Kazen]

People would just charge the grenades more then.

Also, last night I had a Private match with some friends, Shipment + Knife fight only with about 18 people is fucking funny as hell.
