In DoD:S he's just godlike. You'll think he's using a aimbot if you never played with him before. In CoD4 it's totally different story. Even my 8 year old nephew is owning him. I think it's a pretty level playing field too. This is our 4th time playing it and this is his second.

does he play cal-i dod:s? if not, he's probably not "godlike"

cod is completely different than the hl:source engine.

yeah, the engine can make all the difference. THAT is essentially what takes the time to learn, not the gameplay mechanics.

ok...2 totally different games...that have different maps,guns... and ive played both and can say, and i dont see any reason why he is good in one, and not so good in another
plus DOD:S i feel kinda sux lol, they took out Caen..that was such an awesome map. i dont care if it was overplayed or noobish. i always loved playing it back in DOD 1.6...and even before1.6
plus whats the point of this thread???

Godlike is a rather relative term. Besides it takes awhile to adjust to new games. The same strats and whatnot that work in DOD:S isn't going to work in COD4.

Is it also his first time playing CoD at all? Going between CoD games, there's little lost in translation, so I understand his hardships from Source to CoD. I'm terrible at DoD:S, but respectable in CoD 2.

I'm having an issue with DoD:S where my mg42/.50 cal do not deploy correctly. Whenever I try to set up the bipod on sandbags/window ledge/floor for some reason, it begins to deploy but instantly my view snaps around in some arbitrary location, but the same location if as long as keep trying to deploy in that spot. Most of the time, it doesn't depoly either! The progress bar goes, but it cancels itself out.

Happened on two different computers so far, even with default controls. So confused...

.....

your friend isn't that good (all-around) if an 8 year old is killing him a lot.

perhaps he really is using an aimbot in dod:s

Also, when I used to play CS:S against my little sister (who was a little older than 8) I went pretty easy on her. Maybe he's doing the same. Repeatedly killing someone in a game just makes them not want to play it anymore.

LOL I'm complete opposite. I'm good at COD4, but suck at DOD:S. I blame it on having about 500 hrs in COD4 and only 25 hrs in DOD:S.

There's a reason for that. The Quake and UT games encouraged very fast-paced play with lots of jumping and shooting. CoD4 involves more running from cover to cover and getting a good bead on your target.

You have never played CoD4 have you? thirty-two or sixty-four player servers show what the game is really made of.. It becomes UT. But with spam grenades and launchers along with airstrikes.

Yeah, that's when it starts to get ridiculous... I think 20-24 players is a reasonable limit.
I like the tension of smaller matches like 3-4 per side.

Totally different strategies involve in both. He should play CoD4 hardcore, it's better for skilled players. Less fragging and the guy with the quickest reflexes usually wins.

LOL. No that is the opposite actually, that's where frags become the best way to pwn tons of people. All of a sudden the machine gun has become the best in the game. X_X You guys crack me up.
