The game is so-so. The SP game is short, as already mentioned. The graphics look pretty good. I like the blur effect when you zoom with your gun's sight. The "Death from Above" level totally caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting that type of gameplay. It was a treat. The AI seems pretty good and I played through the game on "Regular" difficulty the first time. I'm going to run through the game on "Hardened" next weekend. The maps felt really good until the last few levels. In the beginning, the game felt very open. At the end, it was the typical, 'run, stop, kill all, repeat'. Especially in the missile silo tunnels.

The MP side of the game is slightly disappointing. Basically a "run and gun" game. Boring. The maps are way too small. There is no feeling of an open, free world. Also, the graphics for the MP part of the game aren't as detailed as the SP portion. I guess it was done for faster load times, but it's not as nice looking as the SP game. I've never played a CoD game before, but I don't really care for the Perks. They should offer more Perks than just 2 or three per class. I dislike starting off with weak weapons with no upgrades available. I don't want to play the game every day for 4 hours a day in order to unlock better weapons and gear.

Sorry, but some of the best weapons are the starters - granted, there's good ones down the line, but the first ones are pretty damn good. And you don't have to play 4 hours a day, I typically play 2-3 a day when the fiancee goes to sleep, and I'm already lvl 40.

Honestly though, your loss ... run and gun has always been the CoD franchise, and not sure what maps you're talking about - but they're decently sized for the amount of people.

And the Death from Above mission is so freakin cool ...

True dat. The M-16 is actually the best weapon in the game imo. Notice how many level 45s still use it. I usually kill anyone with one burst.

i think im officially done with this game.

im just so sick of what happens on my screen and what happens on the kill cam after my 3 bursts to the guys head doesn't kill him and he fires once at me and kills me being different. it's virtually unplayable here and i don't know maybe its cause i have DSL but that's the fastest I can get here at this apartment.

i wish there was a freaking theatre mode so i could show people just how ridiculous some of this crap is on my end.

back to halo 3 i go.

 

[bl4ckfl4g]

That sucks man I haven't seen anything like that.


P.S. WTF at this stupid forum. It won't load for me from home. I just tried to get into this thread for 10 minutes. It works fine from work and this is the only site I have an issue with

Agreed, I'm level 17, and I've been using M16 from the start.

I love this game, absolute best game out on PS3 right now.

 

[holden j caufield]

I love this game. I have so many things to do including packing my stuff for moving but I hope on for 1 game and before I know it several hours have passed. What's everybody's favorite setup or perks? We should have an ATOT party invite

I just finished the SP and I thought it was great. 18 missions on veteran isn't as short as some people think.

I fired up some MP and HOLY CRAP. What a blast. 10x better than Halo 3.

BTW, M-16 with the ACOG scope is one of the most effective weapons.

Red dot is better on all weapons - better FOV and it's faster to come up.

yep, I am loving the LMG's. Once I get the red dot sight I can do a hell of a lot better. They are pretty accurate at long ranges also, plus when I get into a close battle when they stop to reload I am still shooting

Yeah and the acog sways so it is harder to aim plus there is a distance penalty when you use it. I understand they need to balance it but it isn't usefull at all the way it is now.

 

[bl4ckfl4g]

I just unlocked double-tap and I can't figure out if I like that or stopping power better. Gonna have to test it more I guess.

Yeah, I just dont see the point of having a scope that zooms further, but makes it absolutely impossible to hit anything that is newly visible due to the extra zoom.

Does anyone else think the sniper rifles in this game need a bit of tweaking? Theyre just not accurate enough, and sway too much unless youre holding your breath. It seems like in nearly every scenario, unless theyre 50 miles away, you can take someone down faster with any other weapon.

G3 w/ Red Dot > any sniper rifle

At least, that's how I see it ... I can put out two shots in the time it takes for one from a sniper rifle. My only thing is I need the guille suit sometimes ... so tempting to do an overkill loadout with the sniper rifle and g3, just to use the g3 to snipe ... haha.

The semi auto sniper rifle is good. I've seen bad aimers kill me with it because you can shoot it pretty fast. it'll be like miss,miss,hit,miss,hit.

Anyone played around with the .50 cal sniper rifle yet? I scooped one up off some body a couple nights ago and that thing was fun...BOOM

Meh, the R700 does more damage.

Anyone get the RRoD while playing COD4 MP?

I talked to a few friends and they had their xbox RRoD or know someone who got an RRoD while playing CoD4.

So far mine still works. I turned it off immediately and have been able to play a little SP with no problems so far.

you alweays hear about 360's RRoD'ing when a big game is released cause that's just what the majority of people re playing, and they are playing it a lot.

same thing happened with forza, bioshock, and halo 3.

And R6:Vegas, Gears of War, etc etc etc etc

 

[holden j caufield]

what the difference between extra bullet damage perk and the deeper impact bullet damage? Does one go through walls more?

What's everyone stats?

I'm a run and gunner 15% wins, but only 12.25% hit

This is different though. All of our Xbox's are getting the RRoD, but after you shut it off it's fine. I just played 2 hours of MP on my Xbox that RRoD less than 5 hours ago.

Deeper impact shoots through objects better. It is great with an LMG.

I think my accuracy is only 16 or 17% but I keep switching to different weapons so I can get all the xp from getting the 150 kills. My favorite gun is just the M-16 and I'd be alot more accurate if I was just using that.

I like Deep Impact with snipers (when I rarely use 'em).

I'll agree, the M16 is a great weapon. At any sort of range it'll be more accurate than the LMG's or the full auto rifles. And at close range it really only takes 1 3-shot burst to take someone out. I've started using it more than the M-4 (my "favorite" weapon).
