To prove a point.

I know MANY of you have played both CoD4 (MW) and CoD Waw online, multiplayer.


Is there a difference in the multiplayer gameplay?
 
CoD4 is easier since it's modern weaponry.

WaW is harder due to the "harder to use" guns and the levels offer vast amounts of camping.

WaW offer the bouncing betty's. These are, without fail, a terrible idea. Why you ask? Go find one of these and TRY to set it up on concrete. They either should have fully-coded it or cut it.
 
Personally, I find the spawns are retarded in TD on WaW, you spawn right infront of the opposion NUMEROUS times, just not smart spawning system.

Sure the weapons add some challenge, but like any game you use them enough you're going to get good at something. So the weapons don't really stand up imo as a valid arguement.

Bouncing bettys are supposed to be set off by STEPPING on them, that's not the case in WaW. I like the online gameplay better in CoD4 overall.
 
Indeed. Rob and I cried much moar over the goddamn Bouncing Betties last night.

But the games are meant for similar play. Down to the mechanics. Air strikes are now artillery. Chopper is now dogs. There are different classes of weapons, none of which are supposed to be as effective as future weaponry.

And the levels are much more intricate, allowing sonsofbitches to simply spend entire matches in corners. But you will have that in just about every FPS regardless. Same developer, same game engine and mechanics = same game.

Call of Duty is like Madden. They put lipstick on the same game each year.
 
The dogs thing was a stupid idea anyway. I rarely will be killed by the dogs, and I usually get 2-5 dogs out myself. That's 6-15 points added to my teams score. Other people can do this shit too. So essentially, you can win a match because you killed linear-striking dogs...

That, in my opinion, is absolutely bullshit.
 
lol probably Raidr XD
 
CoD4 was so much better.

The game mechanics are identical, obviously, but the guns in WaW are terrible. Not terrible as in they're weak or whatever, they are just lame and uninteresting, to me. The maps, initially, seemed really cool and intricate, but "cool and intricate" is synonymous to "loaded with places for people to bitch-camp in the corner", which of course every map has, even in CoD4, but the camping places are numerous in WaW. That being said, I've decided to stick with CoD4, and I wish everyone would play that instead, so there'd be more active games, etc.

Cheebs, Shyrra just basically said I'm right.

In short same game, just likes the guns better. I'm all for that, don't get me wrong. BUT also like Shyrra I want active games. So I'll play WaW. Trust me, p90 > all.
 
MP5 or G3 with a silencer or red dot hands down. P90 and M16 were always for noobs back when I still played. Towards the end of my CoD4 career I was also beginning to hear good things about using the ACOG on fast shooting snipers like a Dragunov.
 
I can play with any gun, but lean towards the MP5, the M16, occasionally the M4, and any sniper.
 
As bad as COD4 was at one point due to spawns... It was fixed.

I have never played a game as bad as COD:WAW online. The spawning system is an action spawn. They try to put you close to action on your next spawn but it results in being one shot the second you are given life.

There was honestly a point while playing that i was spawned killed 11 times in a row... Consecutive deaths.. So unacceptable to me.

Now Cheebs, you know first hand how good XYA was at COD4 and how much we appreciated the balance of the game... Tho there were still flaws... Tell me, how many of the XYA members play the game religiously like we did COD4.. Theres our answer.

Thats just the spawning issue i mentioned... There are others like hit detection, double shooting and even WTF triple shooting...

The COD4 skin was removed and WWII was tossed on top but it seems Triarch forgot all the small things.. Thank god Infinity Ward is back with a new COD this year.

Huh? You mean you will play CoD4 bc you like active games and p90 (spray and pray) >all (or actual technique) >.> lol ;p


I started playing CoD4 maybe... 2 weeks after playing WaW, yeah.. was like THIS SUXS BALLS, "anyone want to play CoD4?" now yes many will bc BC asked them and I'm Ms. Metal, but many were just WAITING for someone to jump back on the badass FPS that is CoD4.

And Yes Osi, I know. I see a HUGE difference between the dedication that XYA has shown WaW va MW.

All the complaints I've heard from many many people about shooting right through ppl is outstanding. Honestly I heard the same complaints in CoD4, usually due to connection though, but not nearly as much as in WaW, and connection doesn't seem to have anything to do with it.

It's a shotty game.

There are times i clearly shot what should have been a head shot and the bullet did not even come out the gun... My very next shot two bullets come out... At times my first two shots do not work or i do a mid shot reload and my very next shot THREE bullets come out... The game is horrid.

I must add to this all, the campaign for COD:WAW is leaps better then COD4 to me.. And i usually dont give WWII games too much attention. This campaign was stellar.


EDIT: The release for Modern Warfare 2 is Autumn 2009. I guess the system of 2 dev teams on every other COD lets them pump them out faster... I can not wait tho.

It lets them pump them out faster, but i really wish Triarch would just stop making them. I'd rather have a 2 year wait between CoDs then have to try and see how the odd numbered CoD will suck this time.

Your vote sucks ; ; The options are way too constricting! They're "the same" in the sense that the engine is very similar minus polishing like Osy mentioned, but different in the WaW sucks balls! ;D
 
I really miss when we used to play CoD all the time. I tried it again the other night, and it seems that some how, people actually got worse. Record number of kills for me in Domination on Shipment.

Voted because, you asked nicely.

They have gotten worse lol, I played for the first time in two weeks about 30 minutes ago, regular ol' TDM, and was getting 30+ kills every game with a silenced AK47 lol, a B- gun for me, and that's after not playing in a while.
