After playing COD4 to death in single player since Christmas I gave the online experience a go a few days ago - what can I say, life as we know it is over smile

Anyhoo, hust a few complete noob questions...

1. How the smeg do I plant C4? I can select the detonator but can't quite work out (without getting slashed by a veteran!) how to plant the C4..?

2. Kit, does the game map decide this? Some players look way cooler than me frown

3. Sometimes I get a connection error, or 'server timed out' is this me (BT) or playstation network..?

4. How do I create a time proof stasis bubble so that my life isn't passing me by whilst I'm running around virtual landscapes with a large gun for hours on endsmile

thanks chums smile

Left trigger to throw C4, keep pressing left trigger to keep planting, when you want to blow it, press the right trigger.

2. Kit, does the game map decide this? Some players look way cooler than me

Defined by your weapon class, for example, if you choose sniper, you get the Wookie outfit.

3. Sometimes I get a connection error, or 'server timed out' is this me (BT) or playstation network..?

What time does this happen ? Normally these type of issues occur when the Americans come on line for the Xbox.

4. How do I create a time proof stasis bubble so that my life isn't passing me by whilst I'm running around virtual landscapes with a large gun for hours on end

Been trying for years, still working on it smile

Another tip for the C4

You dont have to have the detonator in your hand to trigger the C4, after planting it, reselect your gun, and if you want to make a big bang, hit reload twice which in the PS3 im guessing is square square.

Also another good tactic is if you are getting shot and you cant see whos doing it. Drop to the deck by holding circle, turn around where the red indicator is telling you where the bullets are coming from and drop him!

Sometimes the sight of someone dropping to the deck is enough to fool some people into thinking you are dead.

I've gone and bought a PS3 plus COD4 after playing it online at a mates house last weekend and being totally hooked. Mrs MM has called to say it's been delivered this morning. WooHoo!!!

That's my weekend sorted. Now just to get rid of the wife and kids for a bit. Am I sad??

The tinkling of tea spoons in coffee cups gets my attention.

No dude. Your life has just begun. Make your clan name PH and add me as your friend Justin_P

You can watch my back whilst I clock up some wins for us. smile

Have a quick look on the ps3 COD4 username thread somewhere on here and add people. We'll eventually get semi-organised like those 360 chaps.

Alright chap, you've been a bit quiet on the COD front for a while. Well at least the rare occasion I'm actually on it.

You about tonight?
