Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

[SpraynardKruger]

Was there an update for COD4 or are you takling about the update for the 360?

The 360 update, ever since it happened the servers turned to sh*t. But, I do believe there was supposed to be an update for CoD4 today. Strange...

[Abel.]

up to 40 people in one match/server

Jesus, that's hardly a good thing. If I want a kill fest, I'll do Headquarters on Shipment. If I'm playing normally, I don't expect to be up against twenty people.

 

Hell, even Groundwar is too much for me, and you're only up against nine people on there.

Ahh, but you can filter your searches and see how many people are playing before joining a match.

[BowZa28]

40 in one match. Is it possible to have all 40 on the shipment map Doing matches of HQ or S&D etc is really fun just facing a few ppl..

[Hart]

40 in one match. Is it possible to have all 40 on the shipment map

Holy sh*t. Imagine if someone just lobbed a grenade or someone had martydom.. you'd get like 5-10 kills in one.

That actually happens Bowz.

 

I have the PC version but don't play much because the Monitor of my main PC doesn't work, which sucks.

It has come to our attention that many new thread's are being created with regards to the up and coming Play Lists. To crunch these I have decided to sticky this very topic..

(fyi: Cpt Hammer is my PartnerNET gamertag, not my secret XBL account)

 

Just got finished jumping into some of QA’s playtests of the new gametypes. While they’re ensuring there are no bugs to be found, I wanted to jump in and test out how fun the playlists were. Hardcore HQ is a lot of fun because it’s a lot more fast paced than normal and HQ’s are falling a lot faster. Not a lot of waiting around in this gametype. Not to mention it’s a lot more tactical when you’re not just spamming the HQ with nades. I think I’ll be playing the Hardcore Ricochet version of Hardcore HQ a lot.

 

We played several games of Second Chance Search and Destroy, which essentially just adds 1 respawn per player. A small addition, but makes a big difference in the tactics you use. Plus, it wasn’t as frustrating to be taken out early in the round because you get a second chance to do some damage. No more dying early and waiting around the entire match. The only problem I can foresee with it is the occassional spawn kill if someone gets past your defenses and gets in a position to kill your second wave of respawns before you get him out. Other than that I actually prefer Second Chance over standard Search and Destroy. I found myself missing the second life when we were playing standard. There were a few UI (user interface) bugs, but those can be taken care of really easily, just need to shorten the name of the gametype.

 

Still on the fence with Sudden Death Sabotage, what do you guys think of that. It essentially just turns into Team Elimination because no one has any respawns, so everyone starts camping and never goes for the bomb. In a way, I like that, because it’s a sneaky way to get Team Elimination into the game with an extra twist, but on the other hand the rounds end really quickly. I’m worried this one might not make the cut, but we’ll see how the rest of testing goes this week.

 

Hardcore Ricochet is the answer to my prayers. Team Killing is non-existent and you no longer have to say “my bad” to a team mate you accidently blow to hell with a badly placed grenade. If you *** up, you’re the only one hurting for it. Not to mention you never have to worry about having a team mate shoot an RPG into the ground at the start and killing everyone in Hardcore Search and Destroy. That alone makes this entire playlist worth it to me.

 

So what can we expect!

 

Quote:

Remember though, nothing is final until it’s actually released. I don’t want you guys to be disappointed if something doesn’t pass QA, but to give you an idea of what we’re currently testing and where we stand with each playlist:

 

Hardcore Headquarters - No Patch Required

 

Testing is completed for Hardcore HQ. This playlist has standard HQ rules w/ Hardcore Settings. Limited HUD, Increased Bullet Damage, and Friendly Fire Enabled.

 

Hardcore Ricochet Playlist - Currently Testing

 

We’re currently testing this playlist now to see if a patch will be required for it or not. We should know soon. This is the No Teamkilling playlist. Any damage a teamkiller attempts to do to their team mates is reflected onto themselves only. Therefore, if they attempt to shoot an RPG into the ground at the beginning of the match; the only person who will die, is the Teamkiller. This eliminates the fear of being shot in the back by some asshole, but still encourages players to play tactically and not throw random nades, because if you accidentally hit a teammate, you’re only going to end up killing yourself and they’ll go unharmed. No Teamkilling, No Random Nades. This playlist will include the variant for Hardcore Teamdeathmatch, Hardcore Search and Destroy, and Hardcore HQ.

 

Sudden Death Sabotage - Currently Testing

 

Sabotage with no respawns. Fast-paced and intense Sabotage. No more hiding with the bomb until time runs out for sudden death. Increased XP per kills to encourage Team Deathmatch mentality. Defend your objective, while attempting to secure the bomb and plant on theirs. Once you’re dead, you’re dead. No second chances. We’re currently testing to see if this can be implemented without a patch.

 

Second Chance Search and Destroy - Currently Testing

 

 

Search and Destroy with 1 respawn each. This completely revamps your Search and Destroy tactics. No longer will lucky frag or well-placed claymore end your chance of victory. Each player has 1 respawn, creating longer more thoughout attack / defend strategies. Eliminate enemy players, and cut off their reinforcements while you defuse.

 

................................................................................................

 

 

 

Note* Additional Info

 

If all these get past Quality Assurance (Test) with zero bugs, then we’ll be able to implement these four new playlists rather quickly (once QA and Localization is finished). In addition, we plan on adding Killhouse to more playlists and adjusting the amount of XP you get in certain playlists. (i.e. double XP in hardcore and new playlists).

 

Hit the jump for the playlists we’d like to do, but would require some code work to implement.

 

The following gametypes would require code support in order to implement. Which means we’d have to patch. Now anytime you require a patch that’s a much lengthier process than just doing a playlist update because it requires code work, very extensive QA both internally, at Activision, and at Microsoft / Sony. Which is why we want to attempt to get the playlist updates ABOVE out first, and then see what our options are with the ones BELOW. The ones which require additional support include:

 

Bare-Bones Team Deathmatch - Patch Required

 

Team Deathmatch with no perks and no air support. Problem: Slot 1 Perks Glitch

 

Hardcore Free for All - Patch Required

 

Free For All with Hardcore Settings. Problem: UAV glitch

 

Team Elimination (Last Man Standing) - Patch Required

 

3 round Team Deathmatch w/ no respawns. Switch sides each round. Problem: Round Switch Glitch

 

Multi-Bomb Search and Destroy - Patch Required

 

Search and Destroy but all attackers spawn with a bomb. Problem: Planting Glitch

 

 

Any changes to the above will be adjusted as per 402's updates..

 

Validity? Any guesses?

Sounds pretty legitimate but with the internet you just don’t know sometimes. Either way it sounds like there is still a lengthy process of getting the new play lists ready for release but I’d wager they will aim to bring them out right around the time of the new COD so as to compete with Treyarchs.

[AbSoLuTiOn]

All that stuff is legit, it's from the official blog of a guy who works at IW.

 

I posted some minor information regarding new playlists a while back, but not the whole lot.

Multi-bomb S&D sounds pretty stupid to me. If you're defending, you can get an upper hand on the enemies by killing the bomb planter. Besides, what happens if someone starts planting at A, and another person starts planting at B, at the same time?

 

I'm looking forward to Hardcore Ricochet S&D though. I also like the sound of double XP in hardcore modes.

[DC93]

Well in that case Pat people would have to be posted at both A and B, would be funny imo.

 

I'm getting screwed up lag today, that's why I wish my mum bought a router instead of a USB modem.

Although my NAT type is type 2 and I have UPnP available I'm always in the red connection

Hard to tell because of the quality, but SpraynardKruger achieved -1000 points in Hardcore S&D.

 

How? We got a party of six people, made a circle each time we spawned, he threw C4 in the middle of the circle, and detonated it, all four rounds.

[manofpeace]

Oh sh*t, looks like we're right on top of page 200.

 

I've been busy with schoolwork recently. Sorry if I can't join your matches, guys.

[beavis]

Anyone on PS3 down to play a match or something??

[Chargr]

Those new Game Modes are coming for the PS3 too right?

I don't see why they wouldn't.

[nutboy]

I just got 22 kills and 8 deaths in one match on overgrown! im rank 36 now. ill be on in a few hours so add if you wanna play!

[nutboy]

Do you guys have anytips on how to get better at hardcore options? sorry for doulbe post I had to post again.

[DC93]

Not a hardcore player myself so I cant offer any tips sorry.

 

Got my red tiger on my M4, and on rank 44. Nutboy you should add me and we'll play a few matches together

 

My best match was when I went 28/5 with an 11 kill streak

[saintdave]

You didn’t have to post again you could have just edited your first post

 

For hardcore most (if not all) weapons have increased damage meaning you can use less ammo to take an enemy down. I also recommend getting rid of martyrdom (if you have it on) as more often than not you will kill your own team mates and loose points.

You should play some hardcore games, they are fun, and really make you think, i just had one, i did pretty good, as i'm not usually very good at Hardcore, 15/13 or something, but i die a lot anyway.

 

Have any of you guys got ANY tips for headshots, i'm awful at getting them and only really ever make it to Digital, maybe Blue Tiger.

There's not much advice you can get for headshots besides the obvious: aim for the head, lol. Just do things like, when you stumble upon someone standing still who doesn't notice you, instead of knifing just shoot them in the head. You can also try your hand at Cagematch headshot boosting (it's not something I'm really into cause it seems to take the fun out of it, but to each his own.)

[Californian]

 

Have any of you guys got ANY tips for headshots, i'm awful at getting them and only really ever make it to Digital, maybe Blue Tiger.

TIP: When running around looking for enemies, don't move your crosshair down at all. Keep it in the middle and when you see a enemy just shoot and as he is dieing, move the crosshair little upwards.

 

I used to always put my crosshair down when i shot because the chest/body was a bigger target. But now, i just shoot and it usually hits the chin counting as a headshot. I don't know if it's my TV, lag, etc. but it works for me. Hope it works for you

 

EDIT: oh yeah, and depending on what gun you're using (I use MP5), use the Steady Aim Perk and when shooting, don't zoom in, just hip fire..

The weapons don't actually do increased damage, you just start off with less health, it was a much simpler way to achieve the same effect.

[DC93]

When I fire at an enemy I move my crosshair up gradually and normally the last hit is a HS

 

Luck? Nah. Tell that to my Red Tiger M4

 

When I played ages ago I used to vary into every single game mode, never HC modes though. Now I'm just fixed to TDM
