if you want to learn the maps play headquarters and domination

7/4/2008 2:20:59 AM

man, connecting with people online is a pain in the ass. what are you supposed to do?

If i get an invite, i hit Yes, and it just boots me and says server is full. the servers are always full.. they fill up in less than 3 seconds every game. i guess if you want to invite or accept an invite you need to sit and wait in the private party spot until everyone joins. that could take awhile, but i guess thats the only way. and that only works if you know the other people will join the party and wait, too. if everyone just randomly invites and then goes and plays more games it'll never work.

7/4/2008 10:36:49 AM

I love the Misery Loves company challenge


it is hilarious to run up on somebody's back and hump them with a grenade cooking in your hand

7/4/2008 10:49:26 AM

^^yeah you just gotta have one person do the inviting and be patient until everyone can get in the party and then try and join a match.

7/6/2008 8:27:37 PM

^^haha, I love doing that as well.

I got all three levels in one match I think, b/c that's all I was doing

7/6/2008 11:47:41 PM

GOD DAMMIT DAMMIT

I just went 14-3 on hardcore team deathmatch on crash, I was sniping from the place on the top left corner of the map the whole time.

the bitch is, I was like 13-0 with like 50 seconds to go, getting all giddy that I was about to go unkilled, then some fool naded me

so then I just went postal and died twice more.

7/7/2008 3:06:21 AM

I just figured out that Domination kicks ass. I get easily 3-4 times as many kills and its much more fun. Even though most kills are worth less than TDM, i get enough plus random bonuses like UAV and airstrikes enough to more than double my average EXP gained per round.

7/7/2008 12:42:56 PM

if you think you get a lot of kills in Domination try Headuarters

7/7/2008 4:04:36 PM

I've noticed my favorite as well as least favorite maps have changed as i made my transition from n00b to a more adept player.

(n00b)
favorites- backlot/bog/overgrown
least- arena/district/showdown

(adept)

favorites- strike/vacants/pipeline/bloc
least- overgrown/downpour/bog

7/7/2008 6:14:05 PM

pipeline is probably my most favorite overall. i rule on that map

7/7/2008 6:20:50 PM

If you think you get a lot of kills in Headquarters, try Sabotage.

10 exp per kill and I've gone 56-10-15 on Wet Works before.

7/7/2008 6:29:23 PM

i love Bog, its probably my favorite map...i liked it from the get go and i still like it...maybe I know it well, I dunno...you've got the bus, you've got the 2 main buildings, you've got a couple trailers with enclosed backs to duck in for air strikes, and you've got a lot of shadows and places to creep throughout the board...sheet metal and block walls and partial walls...nifty dumpsters to hide behind...lots of action throughout...but i'm sure a lot of that is personal preference

also i seem to do pretty well in TDM on Creek, Chinatown and the tv station...i guess maybe I played the shit out of them the weekend they were released so I got to know them better than some people...on those 3 boards you still tend to see a ton of people voting to skip

7/7/2008 7:03:47 PM

yeah pipeline is fun once you've learned all the little nooks and crannies that someone can pop out of plus the big dark warehouses. Once i figured these outs; i have since had some of my best matches on this map.

7/7/2008 7:10:56 PM

eh, headquarters is a constant killfest while sabotage lasts forever.

7/7/2008 8:09:59 PM

Bog is definitely the easiest to rape on. Hit 100 on there once and usually go at least 40-50 against non-clans. I'm on like Prestige 4 or 5 now and the competition definitely makes it difficult to dominate. My K ratio is still like 1.65 but the occassional 24:25 matches kill my score... not to mention getting on at 4 in the morning when I'm plastered and going like 8:22.

I'm really getting tired of the choppers too. You can be in a dark room with your toe exposed and a chopper will see you out of the corner and just unload. Just way too aware and accurate.

7/8/2008 1:16:22 AM

well wtf is the secret to Bog? i'm not a fan... once in awhile i can sit in a corner and snipe a bit, but i de f die more than kill.

choppers do suck ass. can you shoot em down w/ an M16?

7/8/2008 9:15:07 AM

Bog is not a sniping map.

The secret to bog is stopping power and moving around the perimeter.

7/8/2008 9:24:11 AM

I re-prestiged last night...once I got to level 4 and could make classes, I made an RPD class with stopping power...then I went 25:4 on Crossfire in TMD!

^and just knowing where to look

7/8/2008 10:20:17 AM

yeah i think copters do have some balancing issues. Unless UAV is online; choppers should be more limited in there ability to see enemy units. For example if i'm in my ghille suit in the grass in overgrown how the fuck does the chopper know i'm there.

7/8/2008 11:11:52 AM

I can't stand Bog b/c it always seems to lag more than other maps

7/8/2008 11:18:01 AM

i'm pretty sure that is determined by the connection speeds of other people in the match...however I guess its possible that your disc is scratched right on some of the Bog data...for awhile my game would lockup any time I was playing that tiny desert board, but I think that was actually the fault of my 360

7/8/2008 11:20:45 AM

I've had other people online say they get more lag on Bog than other maps too

7/8/2008 12:45:28 PM

hmmm i dunno

7/8/2008 12:47:01 PM

I don't like bog b.c even when i'm playing good; it is still likely that some n00b will sneak around some point and shoot me. Also you are just open prey for air strikes and helicopters. In all the other small speed ball courses like arena/vacants/wetworks there is at least a lot more cover as well as routes that can be manipulated to give you advantage.

7/8/2008 2:48:58 PM

bog blows. that is my least favorite map evar.

choppers do suck, they are great when you get one but i think they stick around too long. I mean if a team has players constantly getting 7 streaks to call the chopper then they deserve it but i think the chopper just hangs around too long making it so hard for the opposing team to advance in the open.

7/8/2008 3:23:11 PM

Bog, Bloc, and Countdown all suck some serious wang

7/8/2008 4:28:44 PM

meh...sounds like you guys just havent learned some of the maps well enough

7/8/2008 4:37:55 PM

how can we setup a LAN server (dedicated or not, doesnt matter) with infinite claymores or grenades?



i cant find this shit anywhere.

7/8/2008 4:48:55 PM

I know the maps well, I don't like bog just b/c of the shittiness that always ensues. Bloc is just rampant with snipers and very little action. and Countdown sucks beyond anything that has ever sucked before.

7/8/2008 5:35:51 PM

I don't like countdown. I like Bloc and Bog.

My favorites remain Crash, Crossfire, Wetworks

7/8/2008 5:38:10 PM

Countdown does suck more than most other boards...Bloc is fine...fuck the Snipers, I creep around with a silenced M-16 and UAV jammer

7/8/2008 5:42:19 PM

huh, i love countdown


I generally have my best games on there

7/8/2008 5:50:19 PM

"Bog, Bloc, and Countdown all suck some serious wang"

yeah bloc does have a lot of snipers; that is why you gotta equip your uav jammer + favorite SMG gun sneak around to the building their in and mow em down. Sometimes i equip my acog M4 to counter-snipe as well. Very rarely though do i get caught by a sniper on bloc.

Countdown is fun; i used to hate it as a n00b though. You just have to keep moving. UAV jammer helps for flanking the enemy.The reason i like countdown much greater than bog is because all the barriers at least create ways to duck n cover as well as sneak around the map.

7/8/2008 6:12:09 PM

On Bloc I roll with a stopping power SAW.

I want those camping pansies to know that I'm coming.

7/8/2008 10:34:34 PM

now that i'm on my 5th or 6th prestige, i pretty much roll with an LMG everywhere

7/8/2008 10:51:17 PM

damn.

so whats the best gun in each class? I still use the M16 w/ red dot for 95% of things. once in awhile i choose the MP5 if i want to mow ppl down, but it often doesnt work out that way. kinda hard to aim. however rw/ the M16 if you miss on the first fire, you have that delay before the next burst and thats often when they counter and you die.

isn't there some perk where you get double rate fire? how does that effect the M16? still bursts?

7/9/2008 7:07:33 AM

the M4 Carbine is my fall back weapon of choice in almost every situation.

i've been playing lately to level up a little faster (still just a 42) with the AK-74u which has less range and more recoil than the M4 but is better in close to mid range due to inflicting greater damage. I've enjoyed it as of late.

I played exclusively for about 2 solid weeks with the G3, still like it, and became a maniac with the thing, i would be all over headshots. I've become more of an agressor lately though so its not as effective.

I started using the M16 w/ the given assault class (started using the n00b tub3 haha) around level 52 and after never using it have been doing quite well w/ the burst fire iron sights. A lot better than i expected.

Will have enough exp to prestige in about one or two matches. Trying to decide if i want to do it or not. What i was wondering is if you have to re-earn all the add-ons as well as camoflauge variants to each weapons once you prestige? Also, if so do you get to re earn XP points when u unlike them?

except for some of the smaller maps like showdown/vacants/wetworks i always have a class w/ either the G3 or M14. I highly like these weapons for use in a "skirmisher" type roll. Depending on the map i'll either use UAV jammer or stopping power.

7/9/2008 10:03:19 AM

whats this n00b tube everyone speaks of?

7/9/2008 10:53:15 AM

i cant find this shit anywhere.

7/9/2008 10:59:16 AM

grenade launcher. i held out from using it for quite some time. Then i finally gave in after frustration of being blown away by it several times. Honestly CoD4 players have to be some of the whiniest gamers i have experienced. the grenade launcher is the n00b tub3; the p90 is the n00b sprayer; people whine when they can't teabag their kill because of martyrdom, everyone using juggernaut is a n00b, and even i'll bitch about being sprayed down by the helicopter 5 times.

Most other games usually their was only one such "n00b" feature. In counter strike the auto shotty was the n00b tub3. Halo 2 the charged plasma pistol switching to battle rifle was the n00b comb0.

7/9/2008 11:01:27 AM

grenade launcher

7/9/2008 11:03:04 AM

well damn, i've never even used that or the p90. i better go check that out.

7/9/2008 11:05:13 AM

my buddy i always play with is a fiend for the p90. I can't stand it because of the range.

The noob toob i never use either. just give me frag x3 and some well placed distance shots to the dome piece

7/9/2008 11:07:43 AM

honestly i prefer the MP5 over the P90. I do enjoy the greater clip size and for CQC just outside of knifing range the higher rate of fire is also nice. For medium range as well as firing while on the move I have felt better with the MP5's accuracy.

"just give me frag x3 "

Ever since i got frag 3x i can never justify using bandolier. I still use claymores in two of my classes.

[Edited on July 9, 2008 at 11:34 AM. Reason : l]

7/9/2008 11:32:29 AM

i don't like the n00b tube just because when you have it out you cant shoot your regular gun without hitting a button...i'll take fragx3 myself, or maybe some claymores...maybe bombsquad on hardcore deathmatch

when you prestige, you lose everything but your stats (kills, headshots, total xp, etc)...you go back to level 1, you lose all your camos, you lose all your challenges...when you go back to level 1 you cant even create classes (until you get back to level 4) and you dont even unlock challenges until level 5

7/9/2008 11:33:12 AM

so I assume the only thing you get with prestige is a different little badge icon?

I may not do it again next time, I've gotten back up to level 15 or so.

7/9/2008 11:54:21 AM

yeah you get a badge. I guess the badge makes you l33t. i'll probably stick with my 5 star lv. 55 for awhile

7/9/2008 1:19:00 PM

we should seriously start clan TWW
