I just wish that IW will have a moment of introspection and realise that 3x Frag makes Cod4 the spammiest FPS in existence. Why yes, I LOVE being killed randomly because half of the enemy team flings all of their three grenades as soon as they spawn. At least with the grenade launcher you have to aim.

I'm so glad the only thing console gamers have to worry about in terms of hacking are modded controllers where people can fire a little bit quicker. Barely a day goes by on PC servers where wallhackers and aimbotters don't wreck poo poo for everybody. Punkbuster is a loving joke. Paradoxish posted:it's not hard to play on a server that doesn't do any of these things, you know. there are hundreds of populated cod4 servers, playing just about any combination of player limit/game type/map/rules you could want. Well not really, you can fall over a million Hardcore servers and not ever find a single Old School game. Non-HC servers are hard enough to find, never mind anything else.

NESguerilla posted:Was that in the AO version of Modern Warfare? Pretty sure no one is referring to the Perk slots, rather the number of custom loadout profiles available for online play. I'd be interested in what perks they add for MW2 though. Vietnamwees posted:I always understood that having 5 custom classes(and the 5 starter ones-I'm pretty sure nobody PREFERS to use them, but they're still there) is just so you have "your own" class for each of the the 5 weapon classes, and was not intended so you can have a bunch of super-niche classes for exactly one kind of situation. If the Developers wanted that, then they would just let us actually change attributes to the classes in the middle of a game. Maybe we should consider ourselves lucky that we can even change our loadouts midgame at all. Having 5 custom classes is nothing more than a completely arbitrary number of custom slots that IW went with. There is nothing particularly balancing about not having access to a class setup that could give you an advantage in a particular map/situation, just the luck of the draw if you have it set up already in one of your existing custom slots. If there were 20 or 50 custom slots and everybody had their preferred custom setups available just a respawn away then the game wouldn't be any different in the slightest. Upon new maps, I disconnect, set up weapon configs and /reconnect all the time, you still need to be good* to make use of the right class in the right situation. Plus it's not like only one player gets the benefit of 50 custom slots, everyone does, therefore, it's still balanced. * at chucking 3x frag as soon as you spawn.

ZeeBoi posted:new gameplay Here's to hoping. EDIT for content: There's been chatter of larger maps in WAW, I know that WAW was Treyarch and they have no impact on IW, but how much bigger are we talking? The CoD4 engine uses hitscan bullet detection, trivialising long range combat with guns like the M16, but this was never an issue with the smaller maps and the few long sight lines in CoD4. Basically, how big were the WAW maps and how did it affect gameplay? GeeCee fucked around with this message at 23:59 on May 21, 2009 |

Terpfen posted:Okay folks, I'm the one guy who thought CoD4 was not great/brilliant/miraculous. I thought it was merely okay, better than the first 3 CoD games (which IMO are absolutely terrible, Brothers in Arms is better if you want good WW2 action) but still had some annoying flaws which held it back from greatness. Inconsistent hitboxes (especially when going for headshots from the side or behind), respawning enemies, superhuman enemies (if I shoot a guy 3 times in the chest he's going to stay down; in CoD4, he gets back up and shoots at me like nothing happened), inability to select weapons loadout for a mission, limited array of weapons, and everyone sounds like they're speaking to you through a radio headset whether they're wearing one or not. You shouldn't buy it. It's not going to be radically different from CoD4. And you missed out on the multiplayer, which is what people spend a good 99% of their time playing. Also I loving love the old "but, but, my REALISM" arguments (Knife should be less damaging than a gun, Man should be dead after one torso shot, grenades should have a bigger explosive radius blah realism blach loving blah) despite the fact that the game isn't even attempting to be realistic. It's balanced so it's FUN, dumbass, not for realism! Leave the realism to ArmA, RO and OFP2. I want Quake with a Sopmod M4. GeeCee fucked around with this message at 12:19 on Jun 6, 2009 |

I just tested this, multiple-shots-to-centre-mass-and-they-survive thing you're on about, through the entirety of Blackout in Arcade mode on Veteran difficulty, just so I can take my time picking shots, get feedback regarding where I hit them (5 points for a limb hit, 10 points for a centre-mass hit, 60 for a torso killshot and 100 for a headshot kill.) and eliminate the possibility of difficulty affecting anything Two shots centre mass at close or medium range is all it takes with the M4 and headshots are instant kill. Like in multiplayer though, damage drops off over range, meaning at long range you have to hit three times. One torso shot at medium or close range can knock the AI enemy to the ground where he last-stands with his pistol. I suggest learning to aim. VVV Ah, but they never got back up though.

It's a sequel, they are allowed to develop on the ideas/engine of a previous game, regardless of who developed it. Now, there's a lot of stuff in CoD5 that sounds like total faggotry, but if there was stuff in there that really added to the single or multiplayer experience in the eyes of IW, then they drat well SHOULD take those ideas and use them for the sake of making a better game. Treyarch and IW are not competing studios.

I just wished they did ACOGs properly, as a sniper-style optic which fills your screen when your look down the scope, rather than simply decreasing your field of view to 65. I also wish you could take the scopes OFF sniper rifles, but then you'd probably have to rebalance the M21 to be less of a death-cannon, more damaging than the m14 it's based on, with less recoil. Also a barret with irons would be hilarious and nobody would bother with other guns any more.

I just rediscovered the joy of Sleight of Hand. Yes, you give up UAV, SP, Juggernaut and Double Tap, but games become silly quick when you can lay down an almost constant stream of M4 or MP5 fire and get the upper hand on just about any panicked close range encounter. Most importantly though, it makes killing a dude and then you being killed by his mate much less of a common occurence. Reload downtime after combat puts you at such a disadvantage and results in so many deaths it's untrue. It's also funny as gently caress to use with a desert eagle.

Oddly enough, in the last few days I've found myself actively trying for the golden weapons. Forcing myself to hold off for those headshots is really helping my play actually. I managed to get the Golden M60 last night, to conclude that out of the three LMGs, the M249 is the same piece of weedy poo poo it has been in every game since Battlefield 2, while the RPD and M60 rock in just about every way. Long Range? Oh look, no damage dropoff below 40 damage. Short Range? High power per shot and good rate of fire are massive force multipliers, large mags mean multiple enemies at close range are much less of an issue... Up till this point I only ever dabbled with the m249 when somone suggested I use it like a maxi-p90 with Grip and Steady Aim (small hip-fire spread). Now the m60 is a clear favourite just for how balls-out mad it is. Next up I'm going to try for the ARs, problem being that while the M4, M16, AK47, G3 all have Expert 3, the M14, G36 and...oh god the StG44...are what I have left to do. gently caress the StG44  fennesz posted:Actually, in effort to save my derail; does anyone know if they posted minimum/recommended PC specs for MW2 yet?

The acog in cod4 seems to hinder me rather than help. At ranges where the ACOG is good, it feels really hard to get a second shot to hit after the first when you fire in a burst, this is with the g36c as well. I tried out the g36 and the mp44 after posting that and found I had more luck going with the G36C and red dot. Something about how the G36c fires consistently straight in full-auto and moreso while burst-firing. The M4 fires faster but under full-auto it drifts off target way more. Tapping out three-round bursts with the G36c seems easier and as a result, it's easier to place large amounts of accurate fire. The MP44 though I just hip-fire with a UAV jammer build.

Been playing through PC CoD4 multiplayer getting the gold weapons here and there and it's sort of made me realise that unless the weapon list in MW2 is slimmed to the balanced essentials, guns that each excel in their own little way, then your going to get a few redundant guns. Like the G36C. Oh how I've come to despise this thing. It's making the Gold AK47 challenge a loving nightmare. Weak like the M4, slow-firing like the AK. Doesn't have the accuracy and lack of recoil of the former or the balls-out damage of the latter. Worst of both worlds with the worst iron sights since the take-up-half-yo-screen M60. Heaven help you if you try and make a Stealth build with this gun, poo poo irons make using a silencer painful, low ROF and damage mean SMG/LMG guys paste you up close and AK/M16 users rape you from further out because they win with both accuracy and weapon damage. So you have to roll with SP or DT if you want to get anywhere. This may have just been an excuse to rant about the G36c. And oh how you used to be broken in Battlefield 2.

This magic accuracy that the G36c supposedly has, simply is not there, in my experience. The lack of sight sway is not a benefit at all, since taking your time and aiming at the targets head is easy enough with any gun, even if they sway like the m4. The problem is that the G36C kicks unpredictably under recoil while iron-sighted, not so much that it kicks heavily (and predicatably) like the m14, but that it kicks around randomly like an Mp5 and to a greater degree after the first shot, making follow-up shots and burst fire at range pointlessly difficult. Would you engage m16 users with an mp5? Thought not. Oh wait, it does the same damage as one too. Make no mistake, this is a poo poo gun. Ah well, only 28 headshots to go, then I can roll with my trusty AK47 again.
