Few games with Peter, Yimrag and Lynx last night..

Kudos to lynx... two (count 'em) TWO I guess you could call them "pents"? Anyhoo, 5 frag kill off the A spawn towards C.. two games in a row!

God bless the 'tards that flocked to it each time :P

I felt like John Rambo last night with all the multi-kills. Got triples, quads and double headshot collaterals with intervention, mpl, galil (headshot machine).

My favourite was the 5 in quick succession with the intervention. I would have got more but had to reload

Those two quint grenades by lynx on summit were gas, you'd think people would know that you're horribly vulnerable at C dom same as A dom in Firing range and run flak jacket for their first life. I had a good run of kills with the mpl and rapid fire, took a while to get used to it but it was deadly up close.

It's an unreal gun when you throw on rapid fire, SOH and Scavenger. It's my rushing class, beastly up close but you can do work at medium-longer range to once you get used to it

Yeah was using the exact same class, just point and shoot and people die. I've used the mp5, kiparis and other smgs with rapid fire but the mpl is on another level.

Gave it a go last night, pretty decent actually!

Went on to Black Ops for a few games last night, was a bit better than I remember it. Groundwar, Dom and HQ - HQ is ridiculous for points.

Still plenty of knackers using ghost and second chance lying in corners though.
And it's quite confusing seeing what you think is a sniper but it's just actually a Ghost user after playing MW2 almost exclusively for the past few months.

Or the WA or Dragunov? I didn't know what he meant.

It's Black Ops not MW2.

"easily confused" bullsh!t.

Apologies to Jon, X, Yimrag and Mark - my net is all over the shop.
Even crapped out while I was typing this post!

Pretty much went through all the CoD series last night (except WaW) with loads of people from here and have to say that CoD4 is a dream for the most part, apart from the occasional hacked lobby, insane spawns or host ending game it's still the yardstick for the series in how to make a balanced fair game.

Black ops approaches it in parts but it feels like you're underpowered, whether guns are weaker, hit detection isn't right, perks and equipment don't work when they should and there is still too much host advantage. Very often we've played against teams on full four bars and have 1 bar for ourselves.

Mw2 has very powerful guns and killstreaks and a very fast pace but you feel vulnerable at all times, any moment a (good or) bad player can kill you simply because he's got a better gun (or noobtube). What I find is that skill is overwhelmed by power. One thing IW trounce treyarch on is the connection.

CoD4 is all about the guns first and even though there was less than 3500 players on it last night (about 400 in a busy playlist) the connections were largely decent and we came up against players from all over the world. You get plenty of options for perks to suite your style and no one gun is head and shoulders above another.

It saddens me thinking that mw3 style of play looks so far removed from the cod4 style and I know that I'll still have that urge to throw in a 4 year old game to clearly see how poorly the cod series has advanced. Halo CE is getting a redux why can't CoD4 get one? Give it a lick of paint, sort out the hacking, host migration, give us spec ops and a co-op campaign and we're sweet. CoD elite has been around for ages, it was just going by the name CoD 4.

Would it be worth picking up COD4 second hand and playing from scratch?

Definitely, try get the game of the year version as that has all the map packs. The campaign is the best in the series and I can't think of a better introduction to the cod series. If you're planning on getting mw3 and doing the campaign you've simply got to experience cod4's campaign it's one of the best single player experiences you can do.

Cheers! I'll have to drop into game on the way home and see if I can pick it up for a song

Some good fun with the lads on Black Ops and then on MW2 later.

I announced my arrival on the latter by appearing on the other team, killing Siera a number of times and taking down Harriers/spy planes We still lost, but it was worth it :P

There was a game we played Tonight and i'm 100% sure (like the rest of the party) The host was using a lag switch. I think he went 112? to 10 or something with a worse K/D than mine :L Everyone in the party went Negative i think? At one stage we was playing against two but couldn't get a shot anywhere near them.

Playing CoD4 all weekend... painfully slow to prestige!

I know its held as the holy grail by some as the best CoD, but there's a serious lack of choice of guns, perks and none with Killstreaks.. plus alot of the maps are pure sniping lobbies... Not to mention some of the spawning as being absolutely awful.

Anyhoo, working through it.

Apologies for the lack of a mike, damn batteries for the Turtle Beach headphones..

Yeah some games on COD4 are woeful but pretty much most of the maps are great to play on, good mix of open and tight areas to guard or flank. You've less choices for guns as in black ops but a lot more perk combinations to try out.

Also some of the perks really change the guns (double tap on m60 is insane) so there is more variety than first appears. Didn't see one person using 3x frags/sonic boom/martyrdom all night which used to drive me made on wetwork and other maps.

Considering there was about 1500 players online getting into a game and for it to be playable is remarkable in a 4 year old game that's been abandoned by it's makers.

Mr. Manager

I sucked so bad last night, was going like 25-40

Need to move my Xbox cos at the moment I'm hogging the TV from 4 others so that's I haven't been on much lately.

So is everyone taking Tuesday off work? Pre-booked or a coincidental dose of food poisoning?

I've pre-booked a day, however probably won't bother picking it up at midnight, try and get a decent nights sleep then feast of COD and snacks on Tuesday day.

Beats a day in the office.
