Post your CoD5 rants here...!

[Kuroblack350]

Blimey, where to start?

Maps: with few exceptions all seem to be really ill thought out, and don't lend themselves to a variety of gameplay. It's basically spawn, die rather quickly.... Besides Downfall, there are no sniper friendly maps, and where there are, the positions are crap and obvious. What a PITA that is...

Spawning. Oh holy sweet baby Jemus - how can a developer cock this up. You can actually spawn deep into the enemy area, which is disturbing. The amount of spawn deaths I've had is amazing - it really is that crap. There's no thought behind the spawn, it appears to be totally random - and of course the 13 second wait just makes it all the more annoying! You can't even do basic team gameplay because the system will apwn troops behind you - WTF!!!

Small gripe - the bushes on 'Seelow' flicker like the terrain hasn't been mapped correctly, making it really hard to pick out moving details...

Any more..?

[stew-S160]

seelow is my favourite map. good for sniping.

had a respawn on castle last night, right in the line of enemy fire. so i basically died instantly.
plenty of other stupid respawn moments.

You sound pissed that you can't be a camping gayer who has to wait for someone to walk in front of them before they can get a kill.

He must be a crap camouing gayer too, as the majoruity of the maps are perfect for camping snipers, hence why i think the game is crap.

+ 1 for the gayer remarks.

There should be a no sniper weapons mode in all games, nothing is more annoying that that b astard miles away on the hill lying prone taking you out with little or no skill just as you were about to pull off some groovy-non-gayer-assault rifles moves.

[stew-S160]

taking someone out from miles away with one shot requires far more skill and patience than running around with an LMG emptying clip after clip in all directions hoping to hit something.

hence my clan tag- OSOK

What, wtf..? Let's explain this to those with a grape where their brain should be

Camping is when some utter tosspot sits in a doorway and lets rip with a machine gun as soon as you walkthrough - accepted but much disliked part of gaming, completely UNREALISTIC, but lets move on. File under the same heading as the spam grenade - only enacted by weapons grade twots.

Sniping, is where you choose a spot, and use skill and patience to kill using the LEAST possible ammo. Accepted part of gaming and for once pretty realistic in basic terms.

For me the 'gayers' are the utter twots who stroll around with an RPD/MG42 loosing off ELEVENTY-SQUILLION rounds at someone to get a kill... No need to highlight just how unrealistic that is...

In the words of Rimmer, I think we all have something to add to this debate, however what you should bring is silence

Back on topic hopefully - now noticed that it's incredibly easy to glitch under the map of Castle, thereby making the map pretty much unplayable - great

I think that it is just simply ste.

• Spawn Killing
• Camping gh-eys everywhere
• Maps that are impossible to navigate
• Insane amounts of stupid, useless tanks
• Gamertags above the heads of the opposing teams flash up instantly ensuring they know exactly where you are every fking second of the game (even on Hardcore)
• No bullet penetration what-so-ever
• Bullets seem to bounce off enemys, even when you have stopping power on
• Sniping is impossible as the character has the lung capacity of a goldfish that smoke 50 a day

Will add more when I think of them..

also you can't hear the breathing or holding of breath which is wrong.

+1 again.....

But to explain it a bit further as to why they infuriate me, it is the snipers in the game types such as headquarters and war. The idea is to capture the points, not sit at the back of the map like a camping homo picking off the people that are trying to play the game properly. Feck off to team deathmatch if you want to do that rubbish

Mind you, is there anything more satisfying than flanking a sniper and sticking a knife in the back of their head and then giving them a good tea bagging

I can't remember who said it in this thread, but whoever said snipers aren't campers must be mental ?? They are the gods of all campers, they just sit there waiting and barely move for the whole game..............how is that not camping ?

Camping = sitting in the same spot waiting for people to run in front of you so you can shoot them.

How does sniping not apply to that ?

Edited as remembered the most annoying thing of all.......

You play Hardcore, you shoot someone in the head from a reasonable distance away, they go down, you go to carry on and then, as if by magic...........they sit upright and kill you with a pistol shot to the leg !! That's right ladies and gentlemen, I give you.....Last Stand !!!

Of all the other things in the game that wind me up, this is the one that makes my pee boil

I hate sniping in other games but found cod4 had it right - there don't seem too many 'born snipers' out there just sniping everybody and winning by miles, and if there is you can kill them easy enough. The sniper positions are easily attackable too. It's very satisfying to kill a sniper who has been doing well. Also when you decide to do sniping yourself its just the right level of difficulty.

everything bar the tank one is the same as cod4.


my only gripe is the people who moan about the game.


dont like it? dont play it

[stew-S160]

when i snipe, i don't stay in the same spot. i move around after a kill or two. not camping

[Edward9000]

the friggin radar, most stupid thing ever to be put in an fps game. Completely gets rid of map awareness and movement skill. Being able to look on the radar and run towards an enemy knowing where he is completely ruins the whole point of what would otherwise be a good fps game.

yea. i know i can just play hardcore but i havent lvled that high yet. =P


oh, and those damn dogs....how they rage me soo

Really?

Granted, spawn killing & camping are both the same, but the maps...

In COD4 the maps are admittedly a bit too small but they are laid out brilliantly, I was very happy to see the size of the maps in WAW, but still none of them compare even slightly to that of Pipeline, Overgrown, Downpour or Creek in terms of how well they are thought through.

The gamertags above the heads nonsense is definately not seen on COD4. It's one of the things that has dissapointed me most about the new game, it seems as though they have put none or very little delay on these things popping up. It is now nigh on impossible to move across a map at all because if someone on the other team even looks in the same general direction as you they instantly know where you are because of the big fk-off name above your head. This argument might be a little pro-camping, but it is a pain in the arse all the same.

Bullet Penetration. Okay so the guns are 50+ years old, but come on...
Not an issue I remember from COD4 at all...

Unkillable enemys is more than likely to be an insane lack of skill on my part so I don't have an excuse for that..

I only realised today that the Iron Lungs perk which allows you to hold a breath for longer than 3 fking seconds in not unlocked till level 60!? How the hell are you even supposed to get to level 60 without a sniper??


Roll on COD6 I say...

[Dift]

Im a semi camping gayer!

Camoflage (sp?), occasionally silencers are my chosen weapons of choice...

dont forget the bouncing bettys

Alot more real life than sprinting everywhere shooting randomly.

Hehe, gayer! Snipers by their very nature are camping other wise you wouldn't need patience. As for taking more skill, you think? Sniping is easy,you are taking potshots with a one hit/one kill weapon against another person too far away to shoot back or even see them.

Their are no spam grenades in gaming, you throw one where you think the enemy is or to protect an area, whether you see anyone or not.

Running and gunning is the best tactic to win the game most of the time, I do pretty well with an assault rifle.

If you want a realistic game play Rainbow 6, you soon find that it isn't that much fun.

I think that's the difference, one or two kills then move on - otherwise you're dead regardless.

I can see you point, but let's agree to disagree The sniper has one clear attempt before getting pounded with fire (especially with the old bolt action stuff) - plus as you've rightly intimated, a sniper out of cover is much more vulnerable and usually as dead as fried chicken.

Harder task, but for me more rewarding sometimes

But for me the game doesn't really support multiple modes of play. If everyone wondered around with their RPD's then it wouldn't be much fun (and isn't half of the time) but on maps like Asylum and Vacant, it's the only way to go

The crappy spawn points play their part in this, as you never be sure where you're spawing, unlike CoD4 which generally stuck you with your teammates away from the enemy. Actually, thinking about it, it makes the Team Deathmatches a lot more like Free For All's...
