Man the COD4 Remaster is loving gorgeous, and puts to shame 99% of the other "remasters" that came out in the last year or so. I am stoked for the return of the best multiplayer game ever made, already prepping myself for playing HC with martyrdom and 3x frags.

I'm personally awaiting the complaints of Juggernaut to come back More specifically the quickscoping crowd that can't their sick kills for their montage because of it.

You ever do the chicken dance at a wake? That really bothers people.
Juggernaut never really bothered me because I almost always ran Stopping Power anyway. I'm just annoyed by the level of flinch in the campaign. I forgot how bad it is, and only vaguely remember how bad it was in multiplayer. Probably a lot lower, but it's going to take some getting used to.

Juggernaut literally adds one extra bullet of health, so using other perks doesn't really handicap you. Stopping Power cancels Juggernaut as well.

It adds 30 health, and an SP M16 will still kill you in one burst if aimed right.

Played a few more rounds today and quite enjoyed it. Never played BO3 so I don't know how they compare. ADS aim speed seems really loving low though. If I start shooting and I'm not perfectly amied on them then I find it impossible to correct the aim in time before I'm dead. Can't tell if it's the netcode that's loving me or just my unfamiliarity with playing on a controller but fuckers always seem to take at least 4-5 shots without going down then they'll kill me in 3.

What feed exactly does the killcam show in COD games? Is it just an approximation put together using the raw game data or is it actually capturing what one of the players saw?

I never felt like the BO3 netcode was loving me over but there were several times when I thought I got oneshotted and then the killcam would show me getting shot a ton before dying.

Rumor has it that the beta is completely P2P, which could explain the netcode fuckery. Question is will the game have dedicated servers. Tried googling that and no answers came.

It is what the server saw, which is going to be different from what both you and the other guy saw.

The folk 'round here that got gud recommend correcting aim by strafing, and not by using the right stick as controllers aren't as sensitive and you'll usually end up overcorrecting the other way and your shots going wide. If stock is an attachment option use that.

Played a load more today and still couldn't get over how slow the ADS aim speed is :ohdear: It was especially apparent if I got drop shot or if they started jumping or wall running. I still enjoy the game enough to where I'll probably pick it up on PC.

ADS speed with quickdraw seems faster than Blops 3. I still have no idea why Treyarch nerfed ADS speeds on so many guns during that games life cycle.

Whoops posted this in the other thread.

Just had my first game. Got 1st place and went 29-11. Felt really good and fun. The movement felt just right for me. A bit slower than BLOPS3 but still plenty of verticality shenanigans if you really want. Only one of the LMGs for the round but it felt pretty nice. It was the Mauler I think.

Couldn't get a good feel for TTK compared to the other games but I was not having any real issues getting kills. Only one death in a long range encounter left me going "hmmm" but that's probably because the load out I was using wasn't tailored for that long range.

Only one game bias but it definitely felt a hell of a lot better than my first BLOPS3 game in which I got loving annihilated.

I played through the CoD4 remaster last week, and the whole time I was kind of thinking to myself about how unnecessary this is, especially on a graphical level- from what I remember, CoD4 didn't really look much worse than this remaster does. It was only one console gen ago.

So I went ahead and played the first few levels at max settings and oh my God, oh my God, what? What? I remember this looking way way better when I was in high school, what gives?

Oh, All-Knowing One, behold me!
CoD4 looked super-good when it was new, so our brains just remember playing the game and going "yeah that looks super good". Once you go back and look at it with several years of games that look way better under your belt, it doesn't look as good anymore. It's all relative, I did the same thing when they announced RE4 HD remasters.

It wasn't just "one console ago", it was nine years, about as many graphics card generations, and two-to-three versions of DirectX ago.

As for the second part, that's easy; rose-colored glasses. CoD 4 was the one that seriously brought me in, despite playing the preceding two games, and I love it, I made so many goon friends across the world playing it, and some of the best memories I have are the first six years of the MW era, starting with CoD4.
But, when I look at it compared to AW, BLOPS3, in-engine scenes in IW, it looks like poo poo in comparison. There's a serious leap, especially with how people are modelled and look now. It's night and day.

No and no.

The only COD that's still kicking on PC is CoD4, every other is either dead, full of hackers or have like 200 players tops all in TDM.

I got into the BO3 welfare edition a couple weeks ago and it's been a lot fun, never any trouble getting games and haven't seen any hackers. Definitely all in TDM though.

Goons play Dom and TDM 99% of the time so the lack of players argument doesn't really work. I played like 50 hours of S&D on Blops 2 PC with a full party when it had less then 100 players and we had no problem finding games.

S&D? PC? Lots of bad decisions here.

Also, S&D got a lot less fun with the advent of party chat. Really enjoyed someone trying to make a call out and just getting cut off.
