Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

[gta 4 gamer]

I don't think you can mod ps3 controllers so why does IW need to patch it?

Yeah, you can. The patch fixes some of the hacks for public matches, and includes a patch for rapid fire controllers.

 

Also, forgot to say, it's currently only released for PS3 I believe.

Ugghh, I got to wait till the weekend comes to download the patch and test it out.

[Minic]

I went on CoD4 just now to get the patch and nothing came up to download it, it may only be live in the US right now, can any americans confirms it's out for them?

Did you trying playing a quick game to test it out? It could have been one of these 'playlist updates' where you don't actually get the prompt to download anything. That's how they originally fixed the UFO exploit before properly releasing the patch for it.

[oldage]

I didn't get an update screen either, but others have.

I guess it's live in america but not Europe.

[DC93]

Well I have a blisteringly quick trigger finger if I say so myself and haven't experienced any ROF cap as of yet, so I think the patch is live only in the US for now.

 

Also this means if you have any US friends and you're in the EU (and vice versa) you won't be able to play with them until you/they get the update.

[ptiko]

Where can I get the PC version cheap? Its still really expensive in the places I've seen it.

[Pat]

Same. It's really fun to show it off in S&D matches and get tons of messages like "STOP USING YOUR MODDED CONTROLLER fa**ot," even though I'm not using one. Plus, it really helps if I have to use my pistol to kill someone.

 

If this patch slows down the speed of the pistols, then I'm sorry, but that's TOTAL bullsh*t.

[Roastyleg]

ya i dont wont the patck lucky im on 360, but also are IW just sh*t because i see so many ppl with UFO mode and 18 ppl in cage matches, It cant be that hard to stop that if the fing made the game.

[DC93]

The patch is out for EU players and all I can say is the ROF cap is TOTAL BULLsh*t.

[Enjoii]

Trouble is that IW are in a really bad position. They have people constantly complaining on their forums about how bad modded controllers are, and how they need to be fixed. But then, all current attempts at fixing them have failed.

 

I think that releasing this fix for CoD4 gives them pretty decent grounds to tweak it for MW2.

[Minic]

Ok, i just downloaded the patch and went into a private match to see what this new ROF thing is, and i completly agree, it is total bullsh*t, no matter how fast i am able to tap the trigger button, it doesn't fire as fast anymore. f*cks sake, i wonder how it fares in a proper online game.

[DC93]

In about an hour or so, I'll be doing a live feed of me playing CoD4. If anyone's interested the link's in my sig.

[TheBruceter]

EDIT: Is it me, or is it really easy to kill people with miracle grenades? Most of my kills recently were just nade spamming. My K/D ratio jumped from 0.83 - 0.90 in less than 6 hours.

You can throw grenades waaaay too far, and they have waaaay too much range. I'd be happy if they were taken out altogether, I swear if they weren't in COD4 my K/D ratio would be up by about .50.

Yeah i'v saw the grenade spammers ain't stopped.. dam i die alot by running too much and taking a random grenade, always annoying as f*ck when it happens right at the beggining.

Helped me get the Invincible reward though

[Daz]

people are saying that the pistols shoot very slowly.

That sounds awful. I know one of the good things I really love is games that allow you to shoot any semi automatic weapon as fast as you can click the trigger, and NOT being able to still shoot it if you hold it down (GTA4) which is all wrong.

 

If they have fixed that, and its the same for MW2, may as well hang self because I f*cking love the pistols.

[The-King]

As much as I love rapid firing semiautomatic pistols I think a ROF cap makes sense both for both balance and realism, I mean honestly, the recoil associated with firing off fifteen shots in the span of a second or so would be absolutely destructive to the structure of your wrist, not to mention the fact that even the best marksman wouldn't be able to really handle firing accurately after the first few shots given the massive amount of recoil. Pistols are precision weapons, not designed to do the job of an automatic weapon.

 

While I admit, I to usually spam my pistol shots blisteringly fast, it's only because game mechanics allow it, and it's always been something that's bothered me since CoD4 came out and as much as I hate to play the devil's advocate I support this patch.

[asimov]

That's true king, but the most of the pistols NEED rapid fire to be at all useful. I mean, you don't stand a chance against anyone with the M9 unless you are quick on the trigger. The USP and 1911 are a little more forgiving but still need fairly rapid shots to take someone down.

[Pat]

Might as well remove all the perks too. I mean, you wouldn't have those in real life. Oh, and shorten how far you can throw a grenade. And while we're at it, let's get rid of C4. I mean, you wouldn't be able to toss it at people in a real battle. Etcetera, etcetera, but it all leads to the same thing: this game is meant to be FUN, not REALISTIC.

[The-King]

I guess the patch is more of a double edged sword, on one hand it gets rid of a problem isolated to a small group of people with little to no life and too much money or spare time on their hands, on the other hand it hurts players like us who play by the rules, but happen to have more of a natural talent for quick moving fingers than others.

 

As much as I support it I think IW could have handled the problem much better, instead of changing the game mechanics they could have gone to the root of the problem and actually patched the issue at hand, but they didn't and it's quite indicative of either their absolute focus on MW2 or their disingenuous attitude toward an aging legend. Either way, they took the lazy way out and I can't really see them backing out of this.

[Hart]

Unless I haven't got the patch, it makes no difference. I can still fire my pistols super fast. (or as fast as my finger will go)

 

Does the patch come when you join a game or something? Haven't had an update pop up.

 

edit: Got the update but doesn't seem to bad. I noticed I couldn't run around with my deagle and kill a few people as easy as it used to be, but it's still alright.

I just got the patch omfg, i didnt think it would be this bad, it just ruined online for me a bit, i would much rather they take the patch out of the game now, if ur a half decent player u can kill guys with modded controlers, the is patch sucks balls.

Yes, indeed!

 

Incidentally, I played some pistol-only hardcore SnD yesterday. It was brilliant fun, and the only way some of us were able to beat the non compliers, using the M9 Beretta (before their imminent kick from an Administrator) was by firing fast, it's something everyone can do to a degree and it makes using the single fire weapons (G3 most prominently) great, even against SMG/AR users.

 

Obviously, I'm happy the patch won't affect me, however, I'm highly irritated that IW have decided to patch your games this way. Sorry guys, I hope it's fixed for you soon.

[DC93]

I'm actually starting to get used to it. It makes the G3 even more of a beast because it teaches you to fire conservatively, and the M14 is more precise instead of spamming shots up into the clouds. As for the pistols, like usual I've only needed to use them in those situations where I empty a clip in a tight situation, even then 70% of the time I've already damage enough so that when I do pull out my trusty M1911 I'll only need a shot or two to down them.

 

Although that said I'm gonna miss running around in Dom using my USP only.

[weirdal]

Stop whining about the patch. Everybody knows that C4 is the best way to kill guys.

[asimov]

4 kills, nice. Was that you?

 

I'm going to hit up some CoD4 tonight, haven't played any rounds for a couple of weeks now. Hopefully I can nudge out the 70 headshots I need with the 1200 to get my gold shotty

I still think its a crock of sh*t. Some people can fire pistols that fast, I never noticed a whoring problem with it. I loved how it was as it made things ACTUALLY f*ckING USEFULL FOR ONCE. What the f*ck is the point of having a pistol unless its actually going to do some damage. I loved using them, and now its ruined.

 

Lower the ROF = Increase the damage. Thats the only way. Even then I still love to click the trigger. Its like the improvement from Vegas 1 to Vegas 2, probably the best addition was making semi auto and single shot weapons fire faster and it made a BIG impact on what you could do after that. Though it shouldnt be more than 3 rounds a second.

[gta007]

thats why u dont want to be near a pack of people

[asimov]

I downloaded the patch and have notice no difference whatsoever, I find getting kills is just like before, have said that I don't usually spam shots super fast with single shot weapons. I like to get my sights in and blast off only 2-3 rounds to get kills. it's mostly because whenever I use single shot weapons I am playing a stealth class and less shots means a lower chance my position will be given away.

 

Anyways, I got the blue tiger for the M60E4, I'm going for gold on the shotties and LMG's before MW2 comes out. I acheived my goal of getting my K/D to 1.00 too it took me almost 3 months to bridge the 3k kill gap bewteen them.

[Roastyleg]

lol i got my k/d from 0.70 to 1.00 in a bout 3 months, probs about 10k kills to even lol mayb more

[asimov]

yeah mine was down at .66 when I started, pathetic.

[DC93]

Mine went from 1.00 to 1.05 in a week at 23,000 kills. Was quite pleased with that.
