What I analyzed from the video that is not the normal at all was. If this video was anything like the "normal" online COD. Then the player we see in the video running for the flags would have been killed 50 times by random nade tosses. Yep, that's right. All COD maps are so small and the area map gives a way everyone's location that player's just throw nades in the direction of the green or orange light on their map. This is extremely common in COD online. The random death by nade toss.....

swishman6121d ago

but i think cod online is the best FPS online, if you hav eproblems with the UAV you should go to hardcore modes or play other game modes. I love this video because you can see that hes a pro and that the enemies were trying to kill him.

Redempteur6121d ago

not all the map are small .. there are some huge map that doesn't allow you to be killed by grenades that easily ..

BUt the guy on that video was playing wayyy to well

PlayStation X6121d ago

cause your a noob.

'he's a pro' lmao

Sarcasm6121d ago

It might be staged, it might not. Either way it looks pretty good.

table6121d ago

do you guys suck at games or something? The guy is playing bog standard. If the enemy was half decent he would have died several times.

JeffGUNZ6121d ago

I wish they don't have the 3 grenade perk this game, it's too noob friendly. I played shipment last night and was killed about 6 times in a row RIGHT when I spawned, couldn't even move due to grenades/matrydom in the area I spawned. One of the most irritating things is running to an objective, not really near it and then you die. You check the kill cam and same moron spawns and throws three grenades in three different directions. I still think grenades should hurt both sides, so people throw them more cautiously. I also hate when I get into a good and unique spot to snipe and the first guy I kill spawns and cooks a grenade and lobs it right where I am at about 5 seconds after I kill him. I RARELY die from gunfire in this game haha, but I still f*cking love it. I wish they add a perk that disables the kill cam so when you kill someone their kill cam looks like static on a TV. Headquarters is the worst for grenades and so is hardcore search and destroy with noob-tubes and grenades.

StanLee6121d ago

Ah . . . the guy mowing mofos down is Royce from Infinity Ward. He's a beast.

Gamingisfornerds6121d ago (Edited 6121d ago )

I'm no grenade spammer (really hate that sh*t as well), but if you kill me while camping with a sniper, the first thing I'll do is look you up, toss a stun grenade or two, an finish you off with a grenade.

If you like to camp out on a single spot, you have it coming for ya.

JeffGUNZ6121d ago

I agree. I hardly ever snipe, but I think if you find a unique spot, it ruins it that the first person you kill knows where you are. I guess I am trying to say it makes sniping unrealistic. I know this game isn't realistic in the sense of online gameplay, but sniping is a chore in this game. I do the same when a sniper kills me, but I just think if they added a perk where you can disable your enemies kill-cam, like I snipe someone and when they check the kill cam, it's all static. I think something like that will make sniping more enjoyable. Because all I see now is a bunch of morons firing with steady aim for CQC with a sniper to get the 150 kills and headshots.

Gamingisfornerds6121d ago

There's nothing wrong with sniping, it's just that I personally feel that sniping and camping just doesn't suit this game well. It takes away the fantastic pace. For something like Armored Assault, or Operation Flashpoint, with huge open maps and such I can see the point.

In COD4 it's best to choose a spot, snipe 1 or 2 people at most and move on to the next spot. Or, and I believe you refer to them as "a bunch of morons" (which would make me one of them), take the m40a + Acog and quick snipe your way through the map, like I often do. This way of 'active/agressive sniping' is a lot of fun, and is way more appealing than hiding in the corner, waiting for someone to show up across the map.

To each his own, but imo, camp sniping just isn't for COD.

JeffGUNZ6121d ago

The Acog sniping is different, I am talking about the morons who use the barret and do nothing but run around a fire from the hip. Quick sniping is cool and takes talent. I agree sniping doesn't really fit in the fast pace game, but they did but it in there, so I wish just ONCE IN A WHILE I could enjoy it, but it is what it is and I love this game so it's all good!

Gamingisfornerds6121d ago

Fair enough! :)

And yeah, those 'machine gun snipers' are annoying as hell indeed!

i analyzed that this game is for noobs.

still buying it tho xD

IDetonation6121d ago

That kid called this guy pro?
xDDDDD

He must be pretty bad if he thinks that. xD

This game looks awesome minus the riot shield. :P

urdead186121d ago

That at the end, the guy's radar was being jammed until the knife killed FourZeroTwo.

EastCoastSB6121d ago

I love the sound it made when the knife hit FourTwoZero. lol

carajito6121d ago

They were showing teamwork. The guy with the Shield was drawing all the attention/fire .. and the dude from behind the shield was just racking up the kills. It really did not look that hard .. he was very accurate and I dont think it was staged .. they had UAV which made it easier.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio37d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing37d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9237d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit37d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing37d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9237d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
