Call of Duty 4: Modern combat trailer up

Err, the enemy would never have infinite troops though, in real life.

Although in reality these would be very small scale battles, on the order of scores of men.

Anyways, on normal difficulty, the respawning isn't bad. It's typically just a couple waves and then you've "killed them all". They dont respawn forever.

On veteran they always respawn, so far, on many occasions i have found the best tactic to be just running like hell trying to live to the next checkpoint rather than trying to kill everyone before the next wave of enemies.
 
An online patch with hosting upgrades and other changes in the works (kind of old but missed this beofre)

Hey Everyone –

Not much chatter about this game, although it continues to be very, very popular online. I hated bumping a post this old but didn't want to start a new one. Anyhonw, I am slightly annoyed the game has retained its value so much! :LOL: Not DLC in the pipe and the community is large but slowly shrinking and all experienced (newb killers!) I haven't seen this new for under $40 and even used it hovers at $30.
 
I recently (as in Saturday) decided to go through this again (for the 5th time or something silly) to whore some achievements, and to do it on veteran. I don't think I've shouted and screamed so much at a game in a very long time......

I quite like the MP actually, got addicted when I got Live for a month.
It's chaotic at first but you level up quickly, and the perks make it really interesting.

That's partly why I got KZ2, gameplay seemed similar and online is free.

Does anyone know if COD4 online suffers from as many cheaters as COD5 does? It's really annoying how nothing is done about it...

I've never seen anything that I thought was cheating. What kinds of cheats are you talking about? I've never played COD5.
 
Btw, if anyone sees CoD4 on sale (used or new) under $30 let me know. Robert keeps telling me he sees sales but I must be blind :p
 
CoD WaW (5) has had two patches which addressed glitching to seal off geometry holes. I play a lot and see no cheating anymore

Not here it has, and I'm playing in EU with a US copy on a US PSN account. I'm sure i have the same update, but there are still heaps of people cheating in various levels.

Most commenly in castle (glitching into ground near the water area), or in the church level (not DOME) where you can glitch yourself up into the sky. There are also other levels like the hangar where people glitch themselves into various places. Then there are still various bugs with the upgrading or that statistics aren't counted properly....

I haven't seen a update since about a month after release of the game.

ok I'm on 360 and 2nd patch to fix all that was about 3 weeks ago with the day time Makin map
 
:devilish:

I feared that the Xbox version was getting the updates and we weren't... this really stinks to the roof and will be the last game by tryarch that I buy.

:cry:
 
Hahaha, im suprised you even buy this treyarch junk in the first place. Havent you learned from CoD3 and all the crappy previous gen console games? Treyarch's games have allways been worse than the infitity ward CoD's. This is why i instantly skipped the 5th CoD.
 
Yeah, Treyarch are the B-team, a new COD title every year is a bit too much anyway.

I wonder if COD6 will look substantially better, or will it be like COD5 which basically looked identical to COD4 apart from the change of setting.

Hopefully Infinity Ward has made some improvements to their engine.
 
CoD WaW is just as well developed as CoD4, (WaW has better sound quality by far). and overall it is much better than CoD3

I don't get the Treyarch hate. :?: Might IW do even better with CoD MW2? i would hope so, but WaW is a damned fine game IMO

edit: I only play multiplayer, I don't like SP games except sandbox

The MP isn't crap by any means. It got old for me because I'm just not into WW2 guns but the MP was fine. A few glitches but they got patched. The SP is crap but then again the SP on CoD4 is crap also.
