Better accuracy at long range with burst.

Sure, but it's all about spraying and praying to someone with thumb sticks for an aimer.

I was one of the better players on COD4, at least on my server, and I couldn't hit much from long range with a sub. Long range more accurate machine guns and assualt guns were much more effective.

That'd be nice in theory.

I wish they'd address the nade whoring complaints, but luckily I am playing the PC version where I haven't encountered too much of that.


I guess like duragezic said, I essentially want modern firearms like the HK416 and the SCARs.

I wish they put in the FN Fal as well. I mean why the hell was the final unlockable assault rifle the MP44? Did anyone ever use that firearm officially after the fall of Berlin?


They should have had the FN Fal instead, with full auto as an option, to be like the ultimate battle rifle (essentially the G3/M14 with full auto).

Good stuff.

I want to see a Barrett XM109

I take it you're playing xbox?
 
PC...lol. Some maps I would use Mp5, others I would hang back in cover with a rpd, r700, or m16 pulse. I was also good with a shotty.

Yeah, ok, so we're on the same page here.

I was trying to figure out what you're saying; I fully agree with a selective fire option, problem is IW won't because xbox kiddies rely almost solely on auto aim and spraying a volume of bullets to mow their opponents down.
 
Cool. I really enjoyed CoD4 single player. Though it was short, it was one of the coolest single player campaigns I have experienced.

But its a little teaser trailer, thought I'd bump this thread. The story looks like it might have been reworked...what if we're playing as the Russkies, or some Russkie spec ops, and then by twist of fate, we end up reconvening with the West? No idea, but it's possible, not all that original though.

That said, I think I caught some little birds in there, be awesome if we could pilot one of those.

It would be nice if they would get rid of martyrdom, last stand, and the grenade launcher. Or at least make it possible for a server to block the use of them.

I agree, it would be nice to have 2 attachments. I want the red dot sight and a silencer. I love the UAV jammer and a silencer. It works great, as long as you stay away from your teammates. (I play team deathmatch)

LMAO

I didn't realize this was an old thread and I was reading my post thinking "I totally agree with this guy."

Marked for later.

I am a big fan of COD4. I'm glad they went to modern times. The single player campaign is excellent and I just wish it was 2x as long! 🙂

There are some changes I'd like to see in multiplayer. Martyrdom and grenades and the air support got to be way too much in any decent size game. But I disagree on two attachments. I'm really glad they made you choose only one for balance. Otherwise, everyone would go with optics + suppressor as there is very little cons to that unless you really need perk 1.

It would be pretty balanced if they made that Perk 2 instead. Then you would have to choose between an RDS or a UAV Jammer to go with your silenced weapon.

And yeah, they really have to tone down the nades and air support. I'd like to see larger maps as well but I doubt we'll get them (after all, this is going to be a console port). 3x frag should be completely eliminated (even 2x frag is too much) and the highest-end air support should be slightly less dangerous than the airstrike.
 
I'd really like to see some sort of penalty introduced for grenade spamming and spray and pray type playing. Introducing a game mode with civilians (and penalties for killing them) would add a whole new layer of realism to the game and cut down on that type of thing, but I don't think we'll be seeing that for a long time (maybe never).
 
I'd like to see larger maps and vehicle control. It'd be nice to have some human error in the heli, and not some all seeing, all killing eye.

Reveal trailer premiered on TNT last night. Looks so awesome.

So far, I see one new weapon, looks like an auto-nade launcher. Possibly a SCAR-L/H.

I doubt they're gonna be working on anything else but the story, unfortunately, the consoles are already max'd I'm sure. I doubt they're going to do any special favors for the PC.

Spectulated Weapons list:

Auto-Nade launcher
SCAR (L/H)
 
This game looks so awesome. COD4 is the coolest computer game I've ever played, and I've played 100's of them. Its like what Crytek wished crysis / crysis warhead could have been.

Crysis and farcry are like 8% and 2% better than COD4/5/6 graphically, yet trail Modern warfare by about 75% when it comes to gameplay/storyline/action/multiplayer etc...

I liked both FarCry, Crysis And MW. I don't think the single player gameplay was that much more dramatically better though. I really liked Crysis. COD MW felt too linear.

Multiplayer, I like Crysis Wars more, but the COD MW is generally more intense because the community is soooo much bigger.
 
CoD MW is amusing and maybe entertaining, but it's hardly gripping. That's what Bad Company 2 is for. However, it may be that MW2's MP is good, we'll see. I'm sure they'll improve the formula somehow.

I guess I'm on the other side of the fence, I was very into the SP story of COD MW. Multiplayer lasted a few months for me but I tired of it quickly.
 
I tired of it, then got back into it for a while. It's very addicting and competitive, but it's sort of mindless entertainment.
