Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

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.

I've had a lot of success sniping on Wet Work and Crossfire too. Sometimes on Crash I will get a lot of sniping done if a team holds up on top of the 3 story building.

The kill cam doesn't bother me, really. Claymores will either kill the player coming to get you, or at least warn you. Plus, it makes the game more strategy based for snipers. I know on the OpFor side of the Crossfire map, I go between 3-4 different sniper spots every time I get a kill. Wet Works is easy to camp though, since its so dark (at least on the SAS side - I never snipe when I'm on the other side). I only snipe on Bog if I'm a marine - same goes for Crash.

Is the patch going to bring more spawn points as well? I think I remember that being mentioned a while ago.

I hope so, especially for Vacant. I hate spawning around those damn cargo containers when the other team is either trying to plant the bomb or has already planting the bomb and is defending it.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

OK, a previous update does mention adding spawn locations. We'll see if it ends up in the patch or not.

For those not liking the killcam, you should try out team hardcore. No kill cams in that playlist. Don't have martyrdom on one of your perks though, cause if your next to a teammate when you die, they will probably die from your grenade. There are no grenade indicators either, bullets are more powerful, limited hud, makes it much more realistic. But I really do like the idea of a no kill cam perk for regular team deathmatch.

When you have friendly fire on, do you get negative points or how does that work for COD?

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

I love the killcam.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

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...

That would be me . Official Sniper Hunter.

Actually I'm not sure, lol. I usually don't play team hardcore.

Oh, lol. I've been meaning to try it but just haven't. I would assume it isn't as crazy with the grenades in that mode.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

yeah, what is getting me most is the kill cam, grenades from too far away being thrown, and the radar showing gun fire since all of that basically wouldn't be possible in a more realistic setting..

by the way, im at level 21 right now. What modes of play give the most points for each match? Right now i've been doing headquarters because it really gives at least 200 points each game.

despite the shortcomings, i do really love the game a lot.

I usually get like 1000 for headquarters. But the higher the rank you are the more points you get. I'd say headquarters gives you the most.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

Yea headquarters, especially on shipment, will get you 600-1200, ive gotten 1400 before on there. Its just a madhouse on that map.

Yeah shipment is beyond crazy... especially when someone summons helicopter support. lol

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

Search and Destroy gives you 50pts per kill, so if your good that is a good type to play. I haven't messed with it any though. I'm usually playing, free for all, team deathmatch, headquarters, or groundwar.
