Thanks Juliette, don't let go.


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[DoomGyver]

I'm not sure why they multiplied all of the scores by 10.

Instead of winning at 750 now you win at 7500. Make people feel like they're accomplishing more? whatever.

 

[Spriig]

Judging from these gameplay videos Snipers are near extinct. No scope footage at all GameTrailers?

I don't think they had any sniping classes available for the event. Probably saving it for later.

 

[Raxus]

Snipers really don't see much play in small confined maps. Also, you can only mess with a few classes from the get go since you start at level one so most people probably didn't even unlock sniper.

 

[LeMaximilian]

That Afghan map looks really well designed and fun. All the maps they've shown have a drastically different color field than the first game. Really like the direction they're going with adding a lot of color variety to the game.

Oh I use M21 quick-scoping burst fire in small maps all the time.

 

[HooCares]

Excited FRAG3 is gone. Grenade Spam sucked. Hopefully Martydom and Last Stand follow Suit - hated those perks.

Regular scope? I can't stand sniping like that. Anyway most people that played were only level 4 or lower. The M21 you use isn't unlocked until MUCH later.

Snipers in general were a bit nerfed in COD 4 simply due to how the map flow works on certain maps. Which is another reason why suppressed snipers don't bother me. Hopefully it makes them a bit more potent even.

They fixed the grenade indicator and grenades seem to have been nerfed somewhat (could just be the indicator is just that good now).

Last stand wasn't bad it just really sucked to lose your kill and only get 2 points or die because the person is invincible for a second. Hopefully it has been addressed (they seem to be on the ball about that based on the new indicator alone).

I have been playing with the M40A3 and nothing else for about half a year now. Shipment or Creek im not bothered. I swear I seen someone get taken out by a sniper in the first lot of gameplay videos on GameTrailers.com. Unfortunately the player diddnt watch the kill cam.

Yeah, it works great. I find the ACOG to be way too inaccurate for what I do.

 

[Eric WK]

Good to see in the Afghan video that you can be killed while launching a controllable killstreak reward. You still continue through the process and respawn once it's done.

 

[buy teh haloz]

I like the sound of the precision airstrike, sounds quite useful.

6 better things than an AC130?

*mind blown*

 

[Raxus]

6 things in between the lines, maybe 1 up there with AC130.

5 if you assume that airstrike will return to the game as well.

 

[Stoney Mason]

Check your pm Raxus.

 

[Cerberus]

Is the precision airstrike the same airstrike from COD4? Or have they mentioned it being completely different?

 

[Igo]

Any PC vids?

 

[SnakeXs]

I know I'm in the minority of people who hate CoD4's netcode, but has anything been mentioned about changes in MW2s? :'(

The description underneath it suggests that you can choose which direction the planes travel.

What do they need to change?

Just host migration, IW haven't talked any specifics.

 

[Stoney Mason]

I'm not sure it's 6 although the kill streak perks do go up to 15.

 

[DoomGyver]

No, no ps3 vids either.

 

[F#A#Oo]

Host Migration is the biggest...other then that I'm sure they have just improved on smoothness and stability.

I don't know what else there is to mention or talk about really.

It'd be great if they could put in like a 25-kill streak award, maybe even a 50 one.

 

[Cerberus]

There's a shotgun attachment for the M4.

 

[MMaRsu]

Dude, the same thing is in every FPS. I'll take the blood over generic red emanating from the sides of screen as in Call of Duty 4.

But the screen is already pretty cluttered with the +120 and KILLSTREAK stuff, not that I mind that because it looks awesome but the blood covers alot. You can barely see anything.

 

[diehard]

I'm disappointed by how much less realistic it got.

 

[DoomGyver]

Ah shit, so they are adding keys to the game. (still downloading the interview)

 

[minx]

It'd be great if they could put in like a 25-kill streak award, maybe even a 50 one.

If anyone actually picked the 25 or 50 killstreak over a realistic I would have to call them an idiot. Unless of course it kill every single enemy at once, like 5 times.

 

[SnakeXs]

What do they need to change?

Need to? Probably not much, since most people don't care at all.

I just hate the hit detection. I hate the uncertainty not being client side brings. If I aim at a guy and fire I should hit him. I'm a reasonably skilled sniper in almost all other games (BF43, KZ2, CoD2 even), but I can't hit the broad side of a moving target for shit in CoD4.

I'm sure plenty will disagree, and I'm ok with it, but it just doesn't click with me. It won't get in the way of pouring way too many hours into it, though.

 

[No_Style]

All these additions with the admission of no MP beta doesn't help curb those balance worries.

I'm not sure why they multiplied all of the scores by 10.

Instead of winning at 750 now you win at 7500. Make people feel like they're accomplishing more? whatever.

Could be worse, it could be in the trillions like in Marvel vs Capcom 2.

 

[buy teh haloz]

Wait, can you have a grenade launcher attachment for your gun and a grenade launcher as a secondary weapon?

From what reports say, guns seemed to have tightened up their aim so all guns are generally more accurate.

 

["God's Beard!"]

If you are holding and moving with the shield you can't fire a weapon. You are susceptible to flashbangs and being shot and killed in your still exposed areas. And you move slower. And it takes longer to switch weapons.

You can carry a shield as your primary and another secondary weapon.

That's why i said riot shield on your back. When the shotgun is out, the shield protects you from attacks behind you.

 

[Raxus]

No.

 

[Raxus]

BTW snake, I too feel where your coming from. All too often my M16 would pull off random headshots when I was aiming at the chest. The spray in the game was kinda silly.

 

[LeMaximilian]

Well, it kinda holds true to the basic concept about the M16 in real life. 2 to the chest, 1 to the head.

[Roxas]

too many kill streak rewards.

 

[buy teh haloz]

No.

How do you know?

 

[Stoney Mason]

too many kill streak rewards.

You can only pick three. Same as COD 4. There are more but it's not like you have the ability to pick one at each kill value and use it.

 

[DoomGyver]

too many kill streak rewards.

You can only pick 3

 

[EmCeeGramr]

The spray is a bit much in 4, yeah. It's crazy how a guy can pop out about 10m away from you, you instinctively fire from the hip, and not a single bullet hits despite the crosshair being right on him.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

You can only pick 3

I thought someone was saying that you have a pool of points that cap how many you can use? Or is that in addition to only having 3?
