colored names and mapped characters in clan tags...

Hey Everyone --

We know there's a lot of concern and speculation going around regarding users with Colored Names in game and the use of Illegal Characters (such as button images) in clan tags. We feel this exploit gives players with altered in-game names an un-fair and unsportsmanlike advantage in games if used to conceal your name from other users. Because of this we have addressed the issue and in the upcoming Feature patch for PS3 this will be fixed and colored names / illegal clan tag characters exploit will be removed.

Thats good... those right/left/right/right/left/right thumb stick clan tags were a little annoying.

Yeah, I started noticing those over the last week. I was trying to figure out how the heck they got those icons in there.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

I don't believe it, I beat the Flashback Sniper level last night on Veteran and I did not die once at the end while waiting for the helicopter. I was sure that section was going to annoy me since it gave me such a hard time on Hardened.

Joy!

Now I am stuck in the next level, so my accomplishment was shirt lived. lol.

Great News! The new feature patch I talked about last week (with new Kill Cams, Host Migration, and other new features) for the Xbox 360 has finished it’s internal testing and development and has officially been sent off to Microsoft for Certification. It’s only a matter of Microsoft putting it through the certification paces and it will be available for download for all Xbox 360 players.

If you forgot, keep reading to re-cap on all the new features this patch brings to players.

As for the Playstation 3 version of this patch, it’s currently finishing up it’s final internal testing (which I’m expecting to go very quickly) and should be heading off to Sony for it’s own certification in the near future, I’ll post that and full details on what that includes when that time comes.

New Kill Cams
We’ve added new Kill Cams for everything. So now those “WTF!” grenades that seemingly come from no where, you can see that a guy threw it over the house, it hit a tree branch, bounced off a rock, into a tiny window, where you happened to be pointing out of, and say…… whoa. Follow behind RPGs and M203’s kill cams, claymores, Airstrikes where you can follow the bomb from the plane until it hits you.

Host Migration:

Now you won’t have to be dropped back by yourself when a host leaves. Instead, everyone will stay together, a new host will be assigned, and the game will auto-start back up. Keeping everyone together, no more re-inviting, re-joining games because some host leaves. This has been a tall order and something that we’ve put a lot of work into which has allowed us to really optimize online play all around not just specifically with Host migration.

Improved Sniper / ACOG Accuracy:

Sniper and ACOG scopes have been tweaked and are really improved. I use to not snipe at all (mainly because I’m a horrible sniper), but now it’s so much more fluid and natural, while still having the same difficulty to use, it has no more “WTF I know I hit that guy!” moments.

Upgraded Spectator Cam:

Now when you’re in spectator mode you can follow them in 3rd person, switch to their first person view, or rotate the camera in a full 360 degrees around whoever you’re watching.

Quick Mute Option

Users will now be able to quick mute players on the fly by pulling up the scoreboard in-game or via the lobby by simply going to their name and hitting the mute assigned button. As quickly as calling in and designating an airstike. So no longer getting killed while trying to make your way through the Xbox blades for the mute option so you can shut up the guy who always seems to find it funny to sing into his mic or cover up for his lack of skill by telling you how to play Domination his way.

FINALLY! Anyone know how long Microsoft takes with its certification process?

Any new maps? They're getting kind of stale.

They're suppose to release a map pack in the spring.

The new kill cams sound sweet.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

I think the patch will make the game much more enjoyable for me. The new killcams sound sweet, and the host migration will make things a LOT less frustrating. Increased sniper/ACOG accuracy is welcome, too, since I think sniping is almost worthless on anything except Bog and when playing hardcore mode.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

okay, im really late to the game, but i really dont like a couple of things. The biggest thing is that i really dont like the kill cam. It makes it impossible to get a good spot for sniping or anything and keep it until naturally found. Basically you kill someone and they know right where you were. What is the point of that to be honest?

i'm still enjoying the heck out of the game though but right now i honestly suck.

I still say there should be a perk that turns off the killcams for your kills. That would be really nice for snipers.

yeah, that would be a nice perk. Either that or just have a perk that enables kill cam. That would be fine with me, but i don't really think everyone should be able to see like that. Too many times do i kill someone, then 15 seconds later the same guy comes and finds me...
