20 or 24, but not 22. 22 seems strange for some reason.

This really is just one of many things COD4 needs fixed up. The customisation for this game is utter crap. Honestly.

YES! YES YES YES YES YES! I want this wall... EDIT: Are you using Terragen 2 now, or are you sticking with T1? (I personally think T1 is much more user-friendly, with a less steep learning curve.)

Definitely a noticeable change. Looks better, IMO.

I mean, where was the part with Han Solo and Princess Leia where she says, "I love you" and he goes, "I know"?! That line was so freakin' genius. How could that not make the cut?

Wow... No. No, I think there were way too many "new" movie moments in there. The best parts were in the "old" movies.

With something as helpful as that, it's more than worth it. You no longer have to turn your aeroplane to look at your target, you can achieve a lock simply by looking at it. Not only that, but you can see targets directly beneath you and look through your plane at the ground below. Not to mention, instead of a HUD in the cockpit (which, if you look left, right, up, or down, you would no longer see), you have it right there in front of you no matter what way you're looking. I think such an advancement is worth considerably more than just 200 billion.

Fair enough...

Having text in the left corner would be intrusive, though. It would be on top of the focal point.

Looks freakin' amazing. I can't think of much more to say than that... It just looks magnificent (albeit a bit blurry). I'd put text in the upper-right corner.

That is the coolest helmet... ever. AND IT ONLY WEIGHS 1.5 KILOGRAMS?! ZOMG. I want one.

After playing a lot tonight/today on both hardcore and normal servers, I definitely want to modify my earlier post. Hardcore. KC: off, Spec: on, default respawn time is fine. S&D - TDM - HQ rotation. Maps not wanted: Bloc, Shipment, Showdown, and Water Works. I'd say Downpour too, but too many people like it.

The name "Tactical Realism" would be a big negative. Don't dig that, because both words are abused nowadays, and having both together like that is overkill. "ARMORY Hardcore S&D TDM HQ" would suffice. I'd agree with Norcal - KC: On, Spec: Off, low respawn time on modes that allow it. S&D - TDM - HQ. Most maps except the ship one, Bloc, and Shipment.

Lemme put it this way... I wouldn't mind hearing more about health, and easy things people can do to stay healthy, but I can't stand when people start shovin' health down my throat. I don't think you're that way, Doc. I hope not. So let's hear it.

SF is great for urban combat, but I love the jets and helicopters of BF2 and how they were actually more useful there. There was nothing more fun than chasing (or being chased by) Impact to try to kill him. Ace pilot, he is. I miss BF2 (moreso, playing it with you guys) a lot sometimes, but I don't miss the nade spam. That's the only thing that frustrates me about the game anymore.

Prestige Mode is now a necessity. Too many people are already level 55 (I personally am within 10 away), and the game will eventually grow boring. We'll need something like Prestige Mode to keep us interested.

Priceless, that second one is. I lol'd.

Funny. They say the same thing about us.

ZANGIEFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. RAWRTAARARARARrrrrrrr. I freakin' love that guy. I was best (skill-wise) as Ryu/Ken (SHOOOOOOOORYUKEN!) and sometimes Guile. I could whip out this mad sonic boom combo that would knock my opponent senseless. I loved playing as Vega or Chun Li on occasion, though. They were always fun for a change. (Infinite kicks, anyone?)

...SNES is where it's at. I wouldn't play it online even if I had it for the 360. I'm old school.

STUN GRENADE KILL. WOOT. I think I have 3 in all. They're pretty hard to get. You have to get the enemy on last stand, then toss the nade. ><

I'm on the fence between Excellent/Average. It's good, but it has things that need fixed up.

You can turn the killcam off.

My response was not meant to be offensive in any way; however, your opinions encompass rather effectively what most everyone else is feeling about the game, that is why I directly addressed your 'cons' and provided my own view. That is, after all, what opinions are about, isn't it? One person says one thing, and the other can say another? I can point to other threads were people have said similar things to what you, Gator, have said in this thread. The "I'm Done" thread comes to mind. Phrogg's, I believe it was Phrogg's, thread as well. I fully understand FPS mechanics; I understand that camping and running and gunning can coincide, but at the same time, they completely contradict each other and a game cannot be both campy AND runny-and-gunny. It either favours camping or it favours running and gunning. Certain maps obviously influence this to some extent. Camping is a tactic that is complements running and gunning, despite being completely different, basically. In a real-world scenario, we'd be looking at a 'camper' providing cover for the main assault team, or the 'run and gunners'. The maps are small enough for this to make sense.Campers thin the numbers of bad guys for those of us running around and killing; furthermore, the maps are also small enough that campers can effectively be countered. Snipers are not out of range, nor is there much hard cover provided. I've experienced the back-to-back airstrikes. Even though I don't always get in Ventrilo when I play, I've played plenty with clan members over the past few days since COD's release. There are a few members that can testify to this. I don't have to be in Ventrilo for that. What I was getting at is there is plenty of time between them [airstrikes] even if they're back-to-back. There is a downtime after the bombs have been dropped and it's more than fine as-is. In conclusion/tl;dr: Your post kind of covered most of the cons about the game that most of the people are upset with. I addressed the opinion, and offered my own in return, not the poster of the opinion(s), hence "you guys". Debates, which in my opinion are not meaningless, are what forums are for. Discussion and sharing of opinions and experience. No need to get offended. Hug?

I completely disagree. I've found the animations in COD4 to be the smoothest, most realistic animations of any game I've ever seen. On occasion, it's like watching a movie or playing singleplayer. I always speak highly of the animations. BF2 didn't have this either. CS 1.6 didn't have it. CS:S didn't have it. People are making a stink about it just because 2142 spoiled them with a simple buddy system. Hell... does it actually have a buddy system? I don't even know. It's COD... Not Battlefield. This is like putting a "con" on Counter-strike because it doesn't have vehicles. COD is infantry combat. Battlefield is not. Furthermore, I've never had an issue with the CAS. It's always been smooth for me, so I'm not sure why you're calling it 'laggy'. Certainly won't argue with this one. The options COD4 gives you are very limited. I can't turn off the damn music that plays in-game. I hate it. Disagree. All weapons are equally powerful in the right hands. It takes practice. And yet people complain about run and gunning... Make up your minds. Just said they camped... Which is it? It is, but BF2142 is just a slightly modified version of BF2 as well. Counter-strike: Source is just an updated version of CS 1.6. Games stick with what works. COD2 was immensely successful. Why change what isn't broken? This is a map problem, yes. Maps are too small and there are many choke-points, so 203 spam is frequent. But if we take a look at BF2, 203 and nade spam is far more common. I've never had a problem with airstrikes. Always been smooth for me. Also, there is a time limit -- you have to:1.) Get 6 kills without dying. Not an easy task in a game like this. 2.) Initiate airstrike. 2a.) If anyone else has used an airstrike in the last 15 seconds or so, you can't. If there is a friendly or hostile airplane on your compass, you cannot use an airstrike. It's plenty spaced out. DISCLAIMER: I understand COD4 has its flaws (and believe me, though I seem it, I am not a COD[4] fanboy), but a lot of you guys are making a huge stink over nothing.
