CoD 4 - Questions and Annoyances
Discussion
Ok, we all know how monumentally cool this game is, but just wondering what people's annoyances are..? My pet hates are:
1. Those chumps that think it's good to stand at one edge of the map and lob grenades in a random manner - twots! 'Wet Work' is a pain for this, it's a grenade fest!
2. Those chumps who have a kill count of 35 in a single game, with a death count of 34!!!
That's really my only critisism of this game - why don't the scores reflect your death rate? Sure some bod who slots 10 and gets killed once is the better player..??
Ah well, back to the 'bloc' for some sniping action
ps. Anyone know what the small chart represents (after your name) on the online game summary page..?

Camping snipers on block 
Camping snipers who end the game with hardly any deaths and low kills, thus reducing the total team score, thus ensuring the defeat
and last but not least....
The "grenade of Gay" perk
Everyone plays the game the way they want to play it at the end of the day.

I agree to a certain extent, but on the other hand the rewards for the 5 and 7 kill streaks mean that you *do* have to be tactical, and it is something else which sways you away from the 34 kills but 35 deaths scenario.2. Helicopters + Airstrikes. They completely spoil the tactical part of the game
I think the people running around getting 34 for 35 are those wanting quick points to get up a level. That is the way the game is set, so you can run around 100% of the time with small arms and you will probably have a 50/50 success rate.
Kills/deaths is not the be all and end all. There is a reasonable proportion of games I am left with 25 kills for a couple of deaths or less as a sniper, and on the other hand then on the other hand I have been 15 kills for 25 deaths...
...when on Domination I am on a team with a load of noobs who sit and defend a single flag until the time ticks out, and I am the single poor sod sacrificing myself with no support trying to get the difficult 'B' flag in the centre!

Yup, what's that about..?2. Helicopters + Airstrikes. They completely spoil the tactical part of the game
Nothing quite like emptying an entire clip into a running opponent just for them to knife you. I mean, WTF are these guys made of..?
...And another thing, that 'drop a grenade when you die' stuff is just plain wrong
Can't count how many times I've done that...Kuroblack350 said:

1. Lobbing grenades is an easy way to get kills at the start of a game because you know where the opposition are roughly going to be. Likewise you know that the other side are going to do the same so it's easier to avoid. Also it's a good way to kill campers who are hard to kill if they have a faster connection than yourself.1.

2. I play the objective games online mostly and killing as many of the opposition as possible is more important than than trying to get a good kill/death ratio. Getting 10 kills and one death means that you are camping and waiting for people to walk past a doorway,etc and getting an easy skill less kill.
I have noticed lately that sometime if a host team is losing a game they will quit just before the end and the game will result in a draw.

Can't count how many times I've done that...Martydom isn't that bad IMO. At least it punishes the people who blast you in the back at point blank range Tony Martin style.
I'm often one of those 35 kills 34 deaths people, but I don't care I like to get stuck in. Also as I'm doing a fair bit of killing I'm preventing the enemy from getting UAV, Airstrike, Chopper etc.
Allah grenade on hardcore team deathmatch is annoying but just means you can't fight alongside your team mates if they have it on.
The idiot kids you get.
My broken mike
I can't give people shit or swear lots very depressing.
O/T Get my post yet Civpilot?

I'm at work today mate, but I have arranged for someone to take in any post as I also have another watch arriving today. Will be online tonight I should think so will drop you a message I have only, thus far, only played in SP. The only ‘annoyance’ for me is the fact that enemies will spawn ‘ad-infinitum’ until you have completed what the level requires you to do. This does spoil the experience a little for me, and shows it’s ‘on rails’ credentials a little too much.
Other that that, I love it!

The fact that everyone else except for me seems to have the superhuman x-ray binocular periscope eyes 'see you from the other side of the map, through a wall, and kill you just by looking at you' perk. Some of the killcam replays you see are just astonishing.
Also annoying - you can't have a red dot sight AND a silencer. I appreciate it's for balancing purposes but FFS. Makes the silencer useless, i think because the standard sights are awful.

The kill streaks are badly thought out.
Get 3, and you have UAV which means you're more than likely to get 5. Wham, hit a few with the airstrike and you have a chopper.
There was no skill involved in getting kills 4-7+ at all.
Yeah the heli should come online after 10-12 imho. In hardcore the heli is practically "man of the match".Get 3, and you have UAV which means you're more than likely to get 5. Wham, hit a few with the airstrike and you have a chopper.

Airstrike spammers really really pee me off. It should limit the number of airstrikes available per round, especially on the smaller maps.
Emptying a clip into someone for them to kill you with one shot, but yes that is a lag issue.
Cannot connect to host error when i get an invite from you guys!
