The G3 I thought sucked at first but its great for a pseudo sniping weapon

Get the red dot on there and you can score headshots on stationary and slow moving targets with some regularity

The message of the day yesterday was that they were holding a contest to see who could design the best new MP maps, so hopefully some new ones are in the pipeline.

Also I got on hammered last night and fucked up my stats again.

2/3/2008 2:49:18 PM

pun intended?




It's about time they got some new maps out...they have 16 already but I only reallly like 5 or 6 of them

2/3/2008 2:55:31 PM

The maps I enjoy are: Shipment (for the insanity), Strike, Pipeline, Overgrown, Downpour, Vacant, Ambush, and Backlot

I'm eh on: Showdown (it's growing on me), District, Crossfire (though I prefer to skip), Crash, Bog would be ok if it didn't always lag.

Always vote to skip: Wet Work and Bloc

worst map ever: Countdown.

2/3/2008 3:22:02 PM

^ I agree with most of that. I hate countdown and showdown.

Crash is actually pretty cool. I know a few good spots where I can pick people off with an assault rifle with near impunity.

2/3/2008 3:39:27 PM

I just fail to see how Countdown isn't always skipped.

Crash is alright. I think I might know one of the places you're talking about, as I've been in the top of the 3 story building, and had a guy pick me off repeatedly from some rooftop over btw where flags B and A are. Buy try as I might, I couldn't find that damn place, even with the replays.

2/3/2008 3:43:51 PM

lol no matter what mode it is, everyone always tries to take 3 story and hold it first.

2/3/2008 3:48:15 PM

i love wet work and bloc is fun as hell

the only map i really don't like has the train in it, but its not vacant...and the one that is a city but has a statue in it...i think district.

those maps turn into a camp fest

2/3/2008 3:49:39 PM

^you're thinking of Pipeline and Strike, I believe.

^^any thoughts on where that building near flag a is that I'm talking about?

2/3/2008 3:52:34 PM

i rarely play Domination, so not really.

that map is awesome though, theres so many buildings to go in.

2/3/2008 3:53:46 PM

fair enough... I almost exclusively play domination.

2/3/2008 3:57:26 PM

domination is fun as hell, but headquarters can be pretty gay if you have a team that runs rockets and grenade launchers like last night >_>

surprisingly the objective games in COD4 are fun, unlike Halo 3 and other shooters i've played

2/3/2008 3:59:25 PM

I've played a bit of HQ, but wasn't a big fan of it for the reasons you mentioned.

2/3/2008 4:00:11 PM

if you go in with a group, Sabotage can be really fun and edge of your seat game

2/3/2008 4:03:49 PM

i either play HQ or Hardcore TDM.
they need more Hardcore modes.


half the guns are useless in regular modes.
takes 2 clips to the forehead to kill people.

2/3/2008 4:06:35 PM

^^problem is finding a decent group on PS3

2/3/2008 4:07:23 PM

all the cool kids have 360s

2/3/2008 4:10:36 PM

I just went on a nasty 26 kill streak in Bloc.. I almost had my 5:1 ratio then I went on a 6 death streak and finished 37-10. I was pissed

2/3/2008 5:41:52 PM

fuck bloc.

2/3/2008 5:45:43 PM

oh I totally agree but my barrett + airstrike/heli + domination game type is a recipe for success for me

2/3/2008 5:47:37 PM

I can't count the kills that I've gotten with my silenced MP5/UAV jammer combo by just camping up there and blasting anyone who comes up the stairs.

Invariably people get wise and just start lobbing grenades up there. Or the heli gets me.

2/3/2008 6:11:38 PM

I just played pipeline and used the glitch for the first time.

It was a sabotage match and there wasn't much traffic in the tunnel, but there was one guy that I blasted and he couldn't figure out who was shooting him so he kept coming back to investigate where the fire was coming from. I lit him up at least 6 times.

2/3/2008 10:04:56 PM

i usually do it with a friend in sabatoge (is that the one with the 1 bomb that both teams need?) and get the friend to bring it down there and put claymores up in front of the tunnel while i rape anyone who manages to go down there looking for the bomb. Its pretty fun if you get your teammates to go along with you. They'll fix it soon enough.

2/3/2008 10:11:44 PM

what is the glitch? Pipeline the one with the hill and the trains? Building at the bottom with a mounted gun?

2/3/2008 11:02:03 PM

yeah, the glitch is a page or 2 back on this thread.

2/3/2008 11:34:54 PM

Thats it. If you go down in the tunnels theres a wall with recessed pipes along one side. If you back into it, jump, and then crouch while in mid air, then go prone and move back into it you can get behind the pipes and camp.

There are a couple of videos of it on youtube.

Its amazing how much easier leveling is the second time around. Completed my first prestige last night... up to 11 or 12 now.

2/3/2008 11:51:48 PM

dont worry, it slows down plenty in the 40's again.

2/3/2008 11:53:29 PM

I've decided not to prestige for a while. I feel like its such a waste getting all the digitals and stuff

2/4/2008 12:07:19 AM

just a question of which rewards you like better. fine tune with headshots and receive visual benefits of new camo. churn through countless hours of extra matches to get visual benefits of a new icon. same shit, different method.

2/4/2008 12:55:04 AM

I'll say it again: I'll only consider prestige after I get my damn gold M60.

2/4/2008 1:17:24 AM

Picked this up on Friday... definately am digging the MP more than H3. Probably because I am so burnt out on Halo in general.

2/4/2008 10:37:00 AM

I tried to play halo 3 the other day and its almost impossible to go back for me after COD4

2/4/2008 11:08:28 AM

its hard to go from Call of Duty 2 back to the original Halo...

2/4/2008 11:40:17 AM

Thanks walls and josh. I watched the video on youtube. Sadly I havent ever been in that tunnel before. hahah.

Do you see much traffic down there? I figure you might get one or two kills a round down there.

2/4/2008 1:52:10 PM

no, usually you just end up killing the same 1 or 2 guys over and over and over again if you're smart.

2/4/2008 2:21:50 PM

I was pretty excited initially, but on the last game that I played I stayed down there the whole time and got 2 kills.

Then the rest of my team asked me why I was such a fag.

2/4/2008 3:06:43 PM

Most of the action takes place in those building on that board.

Keep up the glitches though. I can use all the help I can get.

What is your weapon of choice?

Im a HUGE fan of the rpd with grip. stopping power and deep impact.

2/4/2008 4:58:13 PM

Well they've announced that there will be DLC for 360 some time in the Spring, but that was all they said.

2/4/2008 5:05:00 PM

I can't do the grip, though I should probably try since I can't aim worth a fuck with the iron sights

2/4/2008 5:07:50 PM

when you go with the grip (at least on a LMG), what you lack in zoom or silence, you more than make up for in accuracy, especially if you combine it with stopping power or deep impact or something like that

[Edited on February 4, 2008 at 5:18 PM. Reason : accuracy]

2/4/2008 5:12:13 PM

I'll give that a shot. sorry for the pun.

2/4/2008 5:35:31 PM

tactically, an RPD+Grip is complete opposite of G3+reddot

2/4/2008 7:22:17 PM

I had my worst game ever last night. Playing domination in strike, I had 3 kills and 16 deaths. I hate it on that map when you keep re-spawning at C.

2/5/2008 10:06:26 AM

I hate it when I die from an airstrike, then respawn right where I had just died, the airstrike not over yet.

"the scorpion isnt even that bad, just that the mini uzi is pretty much the same thing but better. i find the assualt rifles to be the most similar and boring as far as variety is concerned."

I really don't find this to be true at all. The skorpion is absolutely nasty... it has almost no recoil and an incredible rate of fire while the uzi has a very bad cone of fire due to the rapid recoil it has.

What I mean is... if you use any attachment other than the ACOG... once you start firing the weapon you can expect almost no recoil and maintain 100% visibility of your target with the skorpion whereas the uzi will have what I call a rapid recoil that goes up and down quickly... this causes a wider bullet spread and also means that you will lose sight of your target.

For me it is like comparing the M4 to the AK47... but maybe it's just me.

2/5/2008 12:19:14 PM

nah that makes sense. scorpion is a bit weaker and from what i recall has a smaller clip though. gotta be a lot more accurate with that small clip. itd make a great up close weapon for hardcore, but it is tough in the fast action of normal play.

2/5/2008 2:21:41 PM

i actually snipe with the skorpian as well. it's even with the mp5 to me and much better than the uzi.

2/5/2008 2:42:33 PM

I think I'm just biased against the Skorpion because of how bad it sucked in Rogue Spear

2/5/2008 5:14:14 PM

i built up the scorpion early in the game (when it was about the only SMG i had) and it was pretty cool but just flipping through the different SMGs and looking at the stats, there are a couple better SMGs imo
