well remember to invite me

Probably best you request an invite, send someone a voice or text message on Live asking to be invited.

The weekend was probably my best time on CoD4 .

What with me,minnimo and shadow jumping. And last night when I went up against people from DS on hardcore S&D and I took 4 off you lot out with a noob tube.

I had a particularly satisfying game on Crash last night. Perched myself on top of the lamp-post next to the building to the left of C. Used a silenced weapon and no one knew where the fcuk I was! Polished off about 15 people and then jumped across to the blind on the front of the next building across. Took out another 6 there before finally succumbing to a git with a noob-tube. Clearly, I should have stayed atop the lamp-post!

I like to play Domination & HQ, as well as Hardcore S&D.
Feel free to invite me into a few matches. I know there are a few other 'softcore' players on the DS list too.

I'm going for the headshot challenges & they tend to be easier to get on non Hardcore matches so that's an added bonus.

^^ I'll branch out into other game modes when I've ranked up as far as I can. Headquarters and Domination are fairly easy to pick up megapoints on.

NutzOnTheRoad isn't it? I'll look out for you at some point!

S&D used to be all I would play on COD2 on the PC. For some reason, I don't like to play it much these days. It's all about Team Deathmatch and Free For All for me. I have the most fun on FFA. It's great building up rivalries with certain players and hearing their reactions when you constantly kill them

I do that on Domination, and generally, they ain't happy!

The best one is when you twig that they're going to keep coming at you via the same route. At that point you start intercepting them and killing them even more. Then you get accused of camping. Usually draws the response "Well, if you hadn't been stupid enough to keep coming the same way.....". Bog is a particularly good example. If you start at the top of the map, claymore the first two doors of the first building down the left side. That'll take them out twice. Then they'll usually figure that the way's now clear and come for a third time. Sit inside the first door and shoot them for a third kill. Then, move back out of the second door. They'll think you've now moved and you shoot them as they come out of the second door. Then, move back to behind the bit of broken wall on the left side. Que, kill number five. At this point they'll most likely think they're being sneaky and start coming down the outside of the building to shoot you over the fence. Beat them to it, go into prone position and shoot them on the way up.

Of course, by this time you've probably earn't at least an airstrike and probably a helicopter, que more deaths for them.

One-sided rinsings are fun, but it's better if you develop a proper rivalry, especially when it becomes clear that they're taking it as seriously as you are.

I love doing that trick on Bog. They love to keep coming through those doors

What separates the good from the great COD players is people who anticipate that you will have changed position and they'll know the likely positions that you've gone to as well. It's really fun trying to out think the opponent.

The other thing with Bog is that if you can tie them down on the left-hand side you then force them to advance through the bog itself, or down the right side, either of which are easily defendable. Plus, if you start at the top of the map you have a distinct advantage anyway as B is closer to you then it is to them. If you get to B first and then gain control of the buildings, the other team is pretty much knackered.

There's two bits of play that signify great play in my book. The first, is individual play, the strategising and out-thinking of opponents. The other is teamwork. The best example of teamwork I've ever seen is on Ambush. We started on the side of the map that has A, with the contruction yard. Within about a minute, the other side had control of C and B and had us pinned right back on A. They had control of the buildings on the right and left side of the our side of the map, as well as the buildings in the middle that you can get onto. From the elevated positions they were picking us off for fun. From those three vantage points they could see every accessible route by which we could advance. As soon as it became apparent that that's what they were doing I just switched to the Barrett and picked them off as best I could. I think I was the only one of our team that came out of that game with a positive ratio.

Pretty much everyone else pulled out after that game but I stuck in. Played them again in the next map, which was Crash. They did exactly the same thing. We started at A. They had control of the blue building near to A, the tall building next to B, the building next to the path down from A towards C, the building next to that and the building next to C itself. Again, they were all elevated and we couldn't get anywhere near them, let alone the B and C flags. I think I came out of that one with a negative ratio as there was literally nowhere to go, but it wasn't too bad. The rest of the team got massacred.

Despite losing twice, they were very good games. Certainly learn't a few things, such as certain places that I didn't know you could get to.

I remember you guys jumping around, but not much else, that is the last time I go on my xbox whilst drunk. Have no idea what I said to people, so hopefully I wasn't too much of an idiot.

Everyone is always remembered to be invited when I'm hosting a game, even if it means going into a private match. However, when invites aren't accepted and the room fills up then I won't keep inviting.

On the other hand, there are usually about 4 other people on at a time outside the people I've got in the room. I've said it once and I'll say it again, Me, Monk, etc are NOT the only DS members that play. We are not in charge of who can play together. So INVITE one another. There could easily be another team playing the game with one another.

I think it's time that we have a list of all the DS members that play on live so people can add one another. That specifically play COD4 (and no doubt GTAV when everyone gets it)


I had the best laugh I've had on there in ages! And the ultimate laugh about it was. We won about 8/10 matches we played! Whilst we pissed about!!!


It's MonkeyIslander now. (Big hint if you look to the left below his DS name! )


I do believe you kept threatening to shoot us,then while watching us you got shot in the door way

Karmas a bitch huh?

See, that's what happens when I have to 'stealth read' at work!

How do you join the DS COD4 clan?

add hakz07 as your friend i'm going back online in a minute. Better yet add minimo, she's the leader (yes i said leader)

edit: also, change your clan tag to DSpy. You should be able to do that under barracks

hassan - I've added you as a friend now! (Will set clan tag next time im on in a bit!)

Minnimo, I definetely think a list of clan members is a great idea (or maybe even another thread for a DS COD4 Clan)?

theres a sticky in this forum, you've gone offline ? We are waiting for more members in the lobby

i shall be on in 10 mins for a hour or so

We all thought you had deserted us (joke)

not much likelyhood of that is there

damn it it took ages to join, thought it had crashed, as soon as i pressed the power button it joined the lobby

what was up today with the reliability? The game lobby closed on me about 5 times, I couldn't join at all.

shall we play a couple of fun private matches where one of us sets up the rules next time?

Eh we did. I ended up setting up a private match for about 45min to an hour then I'm sure someone else took over.

Like I said before, people need to ask for invites if they don't automatically receive them. It's not fair to expect the few people who normally host to have to dip out of his/her game every time someone pops up online to see if they want in to play. Note: hassan that was not directed directly at you, was a general rant towards everyone mate.

I was invited, the reliability thing happened for about 5-10 minutes, it was ok after that. I was invited by minimo, then as soon as I joined it said game lobby closed, it did that about 4-5 times i think.

how do you block the opposing team mics?

So far today this is the only thread to not have any GTA IV references in it...

Doh!
