My thoughts of COD..

[A TIN OF B3NO]

I thought I would tell you what i think of this game and see what u guys think as well, theres things i like and things i dislike about this game. but thought i would post this cos I'm bored!


Game play

I think the game play is okay. It's fun to play and usually play well. Although the only thing not really happy about is the rotational spawn points. I suppose this helps with spawn raping, so it doesn't/can't happen. But like BHD you had spawn armor which helped that. I don't like it because it destroys tactics and imo fun. Especially while i like to snipe a lot. when i find a good position take a few shots and the enemy is spawning in the other direction. but i guess in the long run it's good for the game but it would be nice to see a option where you can have fixed spawn points just to see how it works out. In contrary to CSS/BHD you have spawn points, and it's more tactical and easier to play.

Maps

Although the maps are small and detailed and in fact i love a few of them. some of them have way to many places to go-into. You can't go out of a door without having to check in every single direction because there can be snipers in almost every building. Although more realistic i think it defeats fun and is a lot harder.

Guns

Still haven't unlocked them all yet but imo i think all the guns are fine. Although not to keen on being able to shoot through walls, YEAH okay it's realistic. But when your being fired at you've basically got nowhere to hide because they can shoot you through most objects anyway. Few of the sniper rifles aren't as powerful as you would have thought either but suppose that is a good thing in some ways.

Also, since when did Claymore have Red Lasers????,enemy can spot them out piss easy. Claymore should also be one shot kill which it isn't i found sometimes.

Perks

Although Handy, i feel that a few of them ruin the game. At what point when you die will you be able to get a grenade out. The perk that gives you 3x Grenades is the most annoying thing in this game. See map after map of people just chucking grenades all over the place and getting kills which really annoys me, defeats fun.

Game Types

Although missing my BHD favorite TKOTH which is a shame, Only game types that appeal to me is Domination and Team Death match. Headquarters isn't bad but is really hectic and people all over the place, Domination is much like BF2 and more controlled and structured. Search and Destroy is much like CSS with the bomb. but doesn't really work the same as Counterstrike as i feel is less tactical and gets really annoying if you die early because you may have to wait for a while to spawn.

------------


Probably some other stuff i missed out but thats all I got for now. Although a lot of things i don't like about it feel it can do with an update, Maybe a Mission Editor would be cool but really can't see that happening.

I say give it time, the modding tools have only just been released for this game.

I am looking forward to some custom maps being published as well as modded versions of the game.

There is already an extreme mod for COD4 which addresses a lot of the issues you have with the game. I am sure the usual AWE mod and Realism mods will not be long in coming. Mods such as these are what improved previous versions such as COD2 from ordinary spawn and die games into some really good tactical scenarios.

Most server owners are currently running their server as ranked. Just as with BF2 this means most of the server cvars have to be set in a certain way.

If we were to run an extreme mod server, perks can be individually set to be more realistic, deleted, or just softened so that their impact on the game is not as large.

In the COD4 server config file Headquarters mode is referred to as KOTH, I have not tried this GPM yet but as a server admin settings such as this are really confusing.

I just love the game :1 (67):

This whole thing with the grenade is in fact quite realistic, I remember (pull up a sandbag and watch the lamp swing) that when ever we practiced taking positions that afetr mmoving through we would send back two guys to search. Those guys would search each pretend dead un by having one guy dive on top of said dead one anjd turn him so the other could check for suprise grenades underneath bodies.

I must say though that being able to quickly throw one after you have just had your intestines removed is somewhat unbelievable.

Look at me! Yet again I have managed to contradict myself in a post, nice one.

Stuff it off to hit a small white ball.

Rogue, is our server a ranked server ?
and is there a setting guide for ranked servers ?

Beno, with the rotating spawn points I think that is more of a feature of TDM mode, I have played in Search and destroy and you tend to spawn on the side - since the targets are in "enemy" territory

Also I agree the nade spamming thing is really annoying, we could turn frag nades off and leave stun and flash on - but dont know whether that might affect any rank status.

[A TIN OF ROGUE]

Our server is ranked, when you join your global rank is used.

When you play on an unranked server your rank starts from 1 again, although you will keep any rank attained whenever you play on that server... Confused yet? I am..

I have looked up some addition settings to add to the config:

set scr_game_suicidepointloss "0"
set scr_team_teamkillpointloss "0"
set scr_team_fftype "2" // 0=off 1=on 2=reflect damage 3=shared

The first two settings mean you will not lose points if you suicide or teamkill. The 3rd setting will inflict any TK damage to yourself and not the team mate you shoot.

I will add this to the server config today and it will change when I get a chance to reboot it.

Any other settings you want added?

What do people think about setting the game time to 15 min and the score to 1000 ?

I remember doing the same meself compo - booby trap drills , not very realistic if the oppo you were trying to turn over was a few stone heavier than you , and it looked kinda gay being under a " corpse ".
Still as I'm sure you would agree the ability of modern weapons to penetrate walls , cars , oil drums etc is realistic, weapons demo on Salisbury - M16 5.56 round barely penetrates through brick wall - SA80 5.56 - straight through , no stopping it , and the gimpy was awesome - destroying cars , walls , breeze blocks with impunity.......pull up a sandbag mucker.:1 (49):

[A TIN OF COMPO]

Oh the gimpy..... what a sweet sweet weapon, and so light to carry!!!!

Best weapon I have seen fired, didnt get teh chance myself as it jammed, mini gun on a Chinnock, ranges in Bosnia. Tore up these cars on the range, tracer pinging everywhere, absolutely brilliant.

Mind you that said, Giant Viper now thats a firework to see!!!!

Gimpy ... 7.62 ... proper kick ass ammo, for real men. :1 (97):
