CoD4 - Feedback Thread

[Benny]

I got spammed last night, the benefit of the kill cam showing and intentional few shots through walls at 'regular' hiding spots. Like spamming the warehouse sides in cs_assault.

Not sure how to take it, it's a bad map anyway, the office'y one with little chance of attackers winning.

I think we need to move away from the distinction that the game allows it, and start focusing on 'sporting'....I'm getting old.

The only other point, that I've made before, voice comms are atrocious. Round starts, A or B is called. Once most people are dead the last 2 on a side may chat, but that's it. Maybe because the comms in game are so poor?

... How come Mondays are supposed to be COD4 night and the server was empty before 22:00 last night (and this happens regularly)?

Our LFS server always empties around 10pm too. It's a weeknight and there's still time for a bit of telly with the missus before bedtime.

Random wallspamming is to be jumped on. We don't allow it in CS so why would we allow it in CoD4? However, this post shows how some apparent spamming is not as it seems. Admins will need to call it carefully.

The comms are actually very good when people have taken the time to set them up properly. I think we need to inform people with low volume comms (the biggest problem I've found) that they need to sort them out before continuing to play. I'll make a separate post about this because without good comms between players then the game is basically a free-for-all.

I think we will find a natural level with COD and what is and isn't acceptable (as we did with CS). It certainly takes a bit of time to learn the new maps and the gameplay.

I think the comments on lack of VC is fair - however compared with CS, I find them clumsy and not really up to scratch. If they can be tweaked then well and good.

Wall spamming is slightly harder but I do think we'll find a natural level. I got shot a few times through the wall but I'm pretty sure it was because my big weapon was sticking out the side.

I do agree that we should encourage people to play COD on a Monday and support it as much as possible.

I think wall spamming could be a problem combined with the HC mode as it is easier to kill through walls. I think we will need to watch it closely.

Sometimes you can hear them on the other side, see movement under the fence, guns stick out, the shot flashes etc. You get quite a benifit of kill cam here that you can see if you are being stupid, or not.

Sure and I have nothing against it as long as the enemy have been spotted in some way. I am talking about random wall spamming for an easy kill.

Regarding wall spamming, on Ambush.

A couple of us moved up into the bombsite off the road, with the corrugated fence around it. I moved round close to the fence then over voice comes "He's behind the fence." I loosed off a few rounds and there was someone there.

Is that spamming?

And I like Ambush as a map for some reason.

I did the same sort of thing, in my case I knew they were behind the wall (sometimes the gun nozzel sticks out so kinda obvious at times)

Surely wall spamming shouldnt be punishable, it part of the game.. Theres even a perk for it!

It depends how you handle the perk.
1st scenery;
Say you know a sniper is hiding behind a wall as he almost shot you from there. You have the perk and shoot him through the wall, not wallspamming.
 
2nd scenery;
You think someone might be there and just incase you spam the walls...

I personally think that wall spamming isn't going to be a problem in COD4.
 
I get quite a few kills through walls, the vast majority of the time it’s because I seen something or heard something, occasionally it’s a nagging feeling that there’s someone there.
 
If you run around in this game firing wildly into walls your going to:
 
A) Run out of ammo quickly
B) Draw the attention of any enemies in the area.
C) Be traced back by tracer fire. (The big one to me)
 
Also with game modes such as HQ you get suituations where you don't know that the enemy is going to be in there, but is highly likely and. Running in will get you killed, So a bit of wall spamming in that situation is perfectly justified.

Wallspamming:
Shooting at the walls in the hope of hitting someone when you do not know if there is anyone there or not.

dMw DO NOT DO THIS!


Tactics:
You see someone go behind a wall and you pepper the wall to kill them.

dMw allow this!
