Inferno, I don't even use auto aim in CoD4 360 :S
you can disable it in the options, and I prefer it that way. I find the aiming controls smooth and intuitive enough that I don't need assistance to hit my targets. I don't see the point of your anti-console crusade.
Because consoles don't give you a choice of controls. And I hate that.
online co-op. that is all. and stop decreasing the fucking accuracy when using ACOG. it's called ADVANCED combat optical gunsight for a reason. It provides better grouping then a normal scope at closer range...
CoD:WAW had online co-op so I would hope that CoD:MW2 will have it to.
Also yes the ACOG should be more accurate.
There is co-op, it's a mode called special forces. They ACOG needs a bigger POV.Quote:

As for co-op, they won't be having a campaign cooperative mode, but instead they'll be doing what's called the "Special Forces mode." Basically, it takes all the awesome level ideas that IW couldn't fit into the story and allows you to play them seperately with a friend. They say the levels are in the spirit of Mile High Club from CoD4, which has me sold already.
oh gawsh 35 in halo 3? thats amazing dude, and your life story is even better..i was on the edge of my seat through the entire thing. you sound like the most ultimate gamer ever, do you teach lessons?Quote:

Bigger explosions and more destructible props in multiplayer. :D
Did I say 35 was amazing? No. It's above average though.Quote:

Most kids who play video games have parents. These parents generally have a middle of the line computer (todays standard is like dual core processor 2gigs of ram integrated audio and integrated video with a 120gb HD)
My parents have a computer similar to that (lower specs though). So one day I get Bioshock at a store. It turns out the only thing on my computer that is not able to run the game is my graphics card. So I went online and bought a $120 GFX card and installed it on my open PCI-E slot.
Since that point I have been able to run every game that has come out on the medium or high settings.
All I had to pay for was the graphics card. Which totals at $120 bucks.
The xbox I bought was $400 + Extra controllers another $60
or so + XBL $60 a year.
Which is cheaper?
If only it was that easy for me... I have to get a new CPU, and anything thing that will play today's games costs upwards of $300... So, Xbox for me (It's only $200)Quote:

Yeah, and a 4870 has gotten pretty cheap lately, around 110$
:P
I live in Canada. A Q6600 on newegg.ca is $239.00 Add shipping to that and it comes to just under $300... I really need a job again :smith:Quote:

Well, to be fair, it doesn't actually decrease accuracy. All it does is make the gun sway around a lot when aiming down the sights. I guess to encourage people to take single or burst shots, idk.Quote:

Excessive use of the smug smiley and pro-gamer attitude in this thread.
Still playing CoD4, can't wait for this game, should be amazing.

Not necessarily. But you did not answer if you taught lessons? Cause a pro like you really should.Quote:

It's role is already supplemented by the AUG and L85, I think. The FAMAS probably replaces the M16A4 considering in the video it shows it firing 3 round bursts. It looks with the ACR ingame the M4A1 carbine is not around this either.
G36C ninja fo life, tbhQuote:

Though it maybe only be 30lbs, the weight distribution makes it difficult to hold, with most of the weight being in the barrel, therefore most of the strain is on your left arm only. Magazine, fully loaded, weighs no more then 5lbs.
It is very possible to shoulder fire an M82, however running around spamming it like a pistol its not going to do well for your shoulder an most likely balance...
I wanna see a Prestiege edition of the game but like... four times as ridiculous/unnecessary and GTA V
That would make me excited for the game.
Balance can go eat cock. It's what 'ruined' RO (still a very good game, but not what it could have been) and what has threatened to ruin a wealth of good games since.Quote:

Oh, that's nothing. I felt like watching the opening sequence to Shooter, the comments section was basically a running battle between the morons who thought Swagger took the chopper down with an M95 and the few people who realised it was an M82. I couldn't keep myself out of it, and no amount of explaining how the blanks were too weak to cycle the M82's recoil-driven action (the barrel itself actually needs to recoil, which it obviously won't do as much with a blank round), hence the manual cycling. I also pointed out the obvious difference in layout, which was a no-brainer but apparently meant nothing to these kids. It boiled down to a bunch of BF2-playing shitheads against someone who, you know, has actually seen the M95 firsthand and knows the fucking difference.Quote:

Oh right because you LOOOOOOVE that noob tube. I mean seriously. Its so well balanced.
FYI the pistol and AR are pretty well balanced out. It just depends on which situation calls for which weapon.
I give no fuck about the 203, on the rare occasions I play CoD4 online (actually I should make them less rare now my PC can handle it) I usually stick to the MP5 with an ACOG.
Anyone who thinks that devs should nerf something just to make it "fair" is a retard, especially if they even consider claiming it to be 'realistic' or 'authentic' or 'immersive' like just about every fucking dev this side of the Moon does. There was a HUGE shitfight on the Darkest Hour forums when they said they were adding the King Tiger, because all the Allied tankers were having a massive fucking cry about not being able to kill it. Their own shit-horrible tactics (lining Shermans up five deep and firing in the open, across several hundreds or even thousands of yards of open ground, and not moving at all) were largely at fault (not that they'd ever admit it). Their solution was to either not add the KT or to nerf the living fuck out of it, essentially making its inclusion pointless anyway. Instead they ignored the fact that their rarity would mean they could be spawned in VERY limited numbers and THAT would be historically accurate; they also ignored the fact that they weren't the nimblest of tanks (over rough ground, anyway - they were faster than a Sherman on a good road).
Nerfing something directly is a crime against quality gaming. Nerfing it through other, cleverer means is the only way to go.
A crime would be to leave shitty unbalanced perks like martydom and the tube in the game. I can't tell you how many games were ruined for me by people tubing in cod4. In fact all the servers that I play in now ban it on sight.
A good example is the p90. That gun fucking rapes all the other SMGS in a straight 1 to 1 fight. It does more damage and shoots way faster than all the other SMGS and it also has a deep ass clip. Therefore everyone chooses that gun first since it's the best. If they had just nerfed the damage but left the high ROF and Deep clip it would not be so fucking uberpowered and people would actually choose other guns. I personally use ak74u as my SMG but that's because I refuse to use the p90 since I don't want to be a scrub.
Anohter example is the ak-47. That gun rapes the shit out of people. It's a 2 shot kill if you hit the chest and it's not that hard if you SS instead of spray. Think about how many ak-47's you see and compare that to the number of mp44's and g3's.
The ratio is pretty bad. I'd say about 1 g3 and m14 to every 10 ak-47's. If they just added a bit more deviation angle and recoil to the AK it would'nt be so fucking godly. I pretty much use the ak-47 exclusively (and I can cross map with it on ambush when I SS)
The RPD just rapes. Period. While the SAW is crap unless you go into HC.
Example, case and point.
http://video.xfire.com/f6a7b-4.jpg
There are exceptions to the "all people use X weapon because it is exceptionally better" rule. These people either don't have it or don't like it generally.
Yeah... then there are those of us who play games for fun, and don't give a toss. Especially when we can hose anyone with any weapon effortlessly (which I can't in CoD4, but I can in other games).
Honestly, fuck the balance police. They can stick to TF2 and CSS and shit, us realism gamers don't want them.

Wow, Infinity ward really knows how to kiss up to the fans. The ability to use the gunship in MP was long requested item.
Oh, DAMN
Now i'm getting this game!
Filthy how the AC-130 was shooting out flares after that rocket was fired.
Are you talking about the H1 pistol and AR? And if so, no. No, not at all.Quote:

ZOMGGG. Did you guys see that scene at the end where he stuck a dude with a grenade and fucked him to hell?
What the hell, was an AT4 just used as a stinger?

we all know infinity wards extensive weapon knowledge...... :smith:
AC-130 sounds like a douche of a perk >_>. The helicopter was bad enough, it would be at the most awkward and impossible angles and it would just nail you right through the roof of a building, where your not even visible...
no no its ment to do that becuz then rockets cant lock on!!!! :maddowns:Quote:

I can imagine the game getting so much more intense , with all the explosions and smoke. I suppose it will give extreme conditioning even better reasons to be used.
I just hope that if there's some form of ghillies with silenced weapons, the ghillie suit works with the environment it's in and the red name appearing doesn't happen. D:
It looks like there are now 5 killstreaks; 3,5,7,9, and 11. Each has 3 choices, it would seem. I'm fairly certain things will play out as it goes on. Another possibility is that different people could have their 5 streak up while someone else has a different 5 streak up, resulting in ridiculochaos. Like having a chopper and an AC130 up at the same time. (Ignoring the fact that they're different levels)
Better than that would be a airstrike, a chopper, a AC130, attack dogs, Artillery, and large penis monsters all exploding and fighting on shipment with 50 players in the server.
And yes there is such thing as 50 player shipment servers.

Awesome sauce
That is so bullshit. I dunno, maybe they've got something cooler for us? If not, then Infinity Ward has utterly betrayed it's largest set of gamers.
As uncool as that is, I wasn't going to spend the $120 or whatever it is on a special edition anyway.
The CE edition of COD4 PC wasn't all that great (it came with a what, Prima strategy guide?!), so even if IW did include some kind of new CE edition for the PC, I wouldn't expect the any of those editions to offer much. I would like to think of it as a good thing, since IMO most PC gamer are smarter than to spend 120 bucks on a gimmicky plastic toy (packaged with a game rated for older people, no less).
343, CE edition is redundant.
"Collectors Edition edition"
And I really had no plans of buying any Special Editions for the PC. I can live with plain old vanilla MW2.
dunno about you but when i want to play with nv equipment i just use the real thing~Quote:

Pretty cool, the overall quality seems quite higher, especially in lighting. I do see some reused anims there, not like thats a bad thing though!
Anyone knows the pc specs?, I think it will be the same of cod4 but..
Only thing reused is the ophandle pull, which may have even been done over from scratch instead of sped up. However, this video does re-use the M4 animations entirely...unless it is the M4:Quote:

There isn't any footage, but there's one picture that's really blurry, search on youtube to find it. The guy playing accidentally walked over the guy with a duel-wieldable pistol, so he just had to pick it up and no one was able to record fast enough.Quote:

Partially difficult on the 360 to drive and aim a gun, but on PC it makes more sense. I think he pulls out his gun when there's a chance to shoot, I don't think aiming's involved.Quote:

so they brought the ak back. <3 ak
I thought they were going to replace every weapon in COD4 with something else serving the same role, like the ACR replacing the M4A1 and the m16A4 with the FAMAS. They probably still have some of the old icons because the final weapons isn't finalized yet.
Might I direct you to this video, good sir?Quote:

More multiplayer gameplay, this time regarding the CTF ("Flag Runner," as they call it). Prepare to cream your pants twice over.

at this point this game is so different from any other call of duty (other than MW1) that giving it the title "cod6" seems like it subtracts from the epicness.
I agree with this statement. It really is unique with all these new features, but still the same fast-paced action we loved from COD2 (yet, drastically different) and COD4.Quote:
