It's amazing how you get used to doing certain things. I played about an hours worth of CoD4 online, and I figured I'd take a break and play the Turok demo I had downloaded on the PS3. I caught myself killing a dinosaur, then backing up like it was dropping grenades when I killed it.

Yeah, I did the same thing when transitioning from R6:V to Halo 3 (threw grenades while trying to take cover).

Anyone know how the hosting works? When I first started playing, I was able to host matches left and right. Now 100% of the time I land in a room already started. Within the past 3-4 days, I've noticed a lot of hosts closing down the room if they start losing, which is pathetic. The times that I was able to host rooms I would keep them running for 30-40 matches with the exception of one time when I had an asshat start a cuss-war with a British player.

One other thing; I heard it's possible to kick players? Can anyone confirm this?

How do you even know if you're the one picked to host?

Yep, if you're the host, you can highlight the player you want to kick in the lobby and press A. From there you can view their gamercard or kick them.

At the start of the game it'll stay ____ connected for each of the other players. Not sure about in the lobby. I guess you could check and see if the kick option is greyed out.

Seems like a bad way to see if you're the host, but then again, it doesn't even really matter. I wish if the host quit though, they'd auto pick a new host.

Yeah, it is kind of stupid. The auto-picking of a new host is going to be in the patch that is expected soon. Apparently the patch was delayed because of bugs in that functionality.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. That's good news on the host update in the next patch!

mp5 + silencer + bandolier + UAV jammer + conditioning = pwn

I'm practically pulling 15 kill streaks out of my ass at this point.

Spawn points could use a re-work. Nothing like dying on one side of the map, only to re-spawned with everyone else, while the enemy is just hurling grenades into a corner.

They're not really spawn point from what I can tell except at the start of the map. If you're lone wolfing it, you're not going to start all by yourself again if you die. I have no problem with the way respawning works. I think I've only died a handful of times by respawning and being near a fight.

The only thing I hate is in HQ where the one team constantly spawns right next to the new HQ. I've been on both ends of the stick and it sucks either way (although it's better when you win)

You must be one lucky sob. On TD, I get hosed all the time. People come in wave after wave to where my teammates and I spawn. And it won't move locations unless you die three times in a row in the same spot. Most successful airstrikes I have seen are over spawn "areas".
How about areas instead of points? Yes they do have spawn areas. If they didn't exist, this wouldn't happen to me.

Please don't laugh but how do I set C4 charges in MP mode?

 

[gizbug]

i hope a new patch comes out soon.
Also, what's with all the wall hack cheats lately? So much for punkbuster doing its job =/

Press the left button on the 4way - then press the left trigger where you want to drop the C4. You can then press the right trigger to detonate, or go back to your gun and press the reload button twice in rapid succession to detonate.

gizbug - you're talking about the PC version, eh? Because I haven't seen any wall hackers on 360 ...

No cheats on the 360 ftw! However, there are still glitches.

I played both the console and pc versions, and i must say the PC version is waaay better.

But then again that applies to almost any FPS

Don't troll ... if you want to make the comparison, go somewhere else.

Anyone know when the patch is coming out for the 360? I always hate when the host leaves or times out and everyone gets kicked out of the game and lobby.

I thought I read back around Christmas that the patch had been sent off to MS for certification or whatever. I'd imagine it will be anytime now

Last I heard they ran into problems with the selection of a new host when the host drops, so that has delayed it.
