Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer Beta

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Yea, definitely man. Great fun, but you were def whooping ass. I'll need some more time with it to get up to your standards. :D

As far as the quality of the game is concerned, definitely top-notch. Truly fun multiplayer, really. If it wasn't for this Beta, I would have just rented it, did the SP Campaign and sent it back, but now that I have experienced the CoD4 multiplayer, I'll probably be picking this up sooner or later (Halo 3 has higher priority though, surprise) :p

For those just getting into it or don't really think it's that fun, definitely give it some time. Once you get used to things, the weapons, the maps, the perks system, etc you'll really start to appreciate the quality of the game. Good stuff. (Y)

Couldn't have said it better myself. It's pwnage baby! :laugh:

After watching various youtube videos of the MP beta - I must say Im a bit disappointed.

They havent changed 50% of the sounds - grenades still have the same sound when they bounce of the floor/wall :s

I hope they change it before the final release :yes:

And that perk system is just silly.

Its like skills - one where youre able to shoot, reload twice as fast with less recoil.

or Double Impact :no:

Never tried the beta myself tho, so wtf do I know :rofl:

[Sethos]

Exactly, you just can't pass judgment on this game based on Videos. It's so freaking awesome!

[iconboy]

something i really wanted to do was that skill last stand where when you die you have the ability to shoot off your gun right before you fully die, how do u get this skill? is it even in the beta!?

Yup, it's there. You unlock it when you hit a certain rank (forgot which).

I think its 10+ or something like that.

I played the game, and although the perks are nice, and the game still plays well, it does seem a bit silly. It just makes it a little more about stats rather than skill, although skill is still the major factor. I much prefer the Halo style where everyone goes into the fight equal, and it's simply about how good are.

I'll still be getting the game though. :cool:

i quite like the cod style of gameplay although in the full game i think a good matchmaking system will be needed (so that rank 1 players dont get thrown in with 11 rank 50+ people).

one thing i have noticed is that it seems to select a host a random and some people connections not suited to hosting and you get awful lag when airstrikes or things like that are used, i hope that is sorted in the final release.

The level system is terrible, especially trying to rank up. I'm not bad at the game, but matching up against people who have been playing the beta for how many weeks now? is just pointless.

[Huleboeren]

It has no serverbrowser?

Not necessarily. The only real difference between say a lvl 16 and lvl 1 is the perks and completed challenges (unlocks camo & attatchments).

Yes. The only way to play is to select "Find Game".

[sharpy2k4]

Hey sharpy2k4,

I'll gladly take your code. Huge COD2 player. Thanks a bunch.

sorry dude its already gone, waiting for 2 more codes to come through though so ill get one your way once they pop up

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Well that quite a big advantage I'd say when players have access to weapons others don't, plus perks which give you more health etc

[Guest]

The perks don't have THAT much of an influence on ability.

[Steve]

It's not massive, but having a red dot versus the 'old skool' is a big one for me.

[x-scratch]

im happy with the weapon i use i like using any weapon with the red dot makes my aim more steady

[Steve]

Yeah i'm kicking butt with the M4 and a red dot.

[troist]

I like the fast loading sniper when its got the auto-steadying scope on it... makes sniping so much easier ^_^

[Guyro]

i think the acog scope is rubbish for the assault rifles, because you cant tell if you hitting them from far off

edit: mostly just with the ak47 i dont like it

has anyone got a spare code i could give to my friend? 2 if you can spare 'em

Hehe I just realized that they put in "pick up" gametypes for Team Deathmatch and Team Objective so you don't have to play against parties.

[+.Vamp Subscriber²]

:o they changed Team Tactical to 4v4 limit, it was pefect at 3v3! 4v4 feels way to overcrowded and more like a team deathmatch :(

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Darn, 3v3 was the sweet spot. I hope they add the option of choosing the amount of players in the final game (2v2/5v5).

@Trong, Eat68: It was nice playing with you guys. :)

[Steve]

Why do some many Americans act like complete IDIOTS when they hear a group of British people? So god damn annoying, it's definitely the bain of an otherwise great service.

[iconboy]

im really starting to get the hand of this game. im unlocking stuff and really getting to know the maps :) i wish they had put more maps in, but so far for me this is gunna be a day one purchase :)

[Eat68]

At this point, I'm starting to dislike Vacant because of the easy camping there.

@Anaron: Good times
