Rank 33 but i have not played it for 2 days now, and didnt play it much when the Live issues were happening. I might get on tonight and try to up my ranks a bit.

I'm level 32 as well (But I'm pissed off with the game because Im playing the SP on veteran and my teammate are ****ing hopeless)

Hardly played it online, only been on for 16hrs in total.

Im on 37, but since having Assassins Creed on Friday, i havent played it, plus my missus is always on it now too.
I think ive put in about 20 hours though. Itll be a while before i go on there again i think cos i need a break.

lol well i know i'm doing good because my total time online has been 9 hours

I've unlocked 2 extra challenge groups - one is killer or something, i can't remember the other one, i want to see what the other two are about, but the first boot camp challenge, i only need to sprint another 6 miles and detonate 4 enemy explosives - which i havn't a clue what that means.

I'm pretty happy with all the perks we get at level 32 though, i dont see myself changing them about too much - the double-tap, bandolier are great, especially with the Skorpion!

Good boy.... you stay away from it..... gives me time to catch you up and beat you on the leaderboards now (only been trying since day 1 to do it and thought i had blown all hope with not playing for 2 days!!)

destroy explosives is easier when you have Bomb Squad perk activated and you see enemies Claymores or C4 (usually claymores) and shoot them to destroy them.
It can be achieved without the Bomb Squad perk but with it you can see them, without you may hardly see them before they kill you anyway.

I've completed it on regular, and i didn't find it that tough - the enemies aren't difficult to outsmart or kill, but it is just some certain parts of the game are stupidly tricky!

Like when you have to snipe that baddy dude with the .50 rifle - it took me bloody ages because the bullets were just curve-balling away from his head all the time, even though i waited for the wind to die down. That mission was probably the hardest part of the game for me.

lol is that all i had to do!?

I know i've shot a few of them, some of them probably someones on our team i expect. I do spot them, it is just hardly anyone puts them down!

Yay.. i got it first time on one shot!!! Go me, Go me!!

'You shot his bloody arm off!!'

Back to this mission though, i found it silly after sniping this guy, that i shot the helicopter once with the same gun and blew it up.. thats realistic!!

I kept missing the person i had to shoot and hitting the people behind him, then he would speed off in his land rover and i'd have to aim shots about 30 feet in front of his car so they would curl towards the front seats.

In the end it was a flukey shot that swung in from the right and he basically walked into the bullet. To much relief!

Yeah, the challenge about destroying explosives is just shoot enemy claymores.

They seem to get placed a lot more in games with people Rank 30+ I find, rather than lower ranks for some reason, and very much so on Search and Destroy games.

ok, interesting discussion going on PS3 board so will bring it here to get an answer.

PS3 multiplayer version has apparently got Green/Red crosshairs when you aim at a friendly player it goes green, when you aim at an enemy it goes red.

I have the 360 version and i am told it is the same on 360 yet I dont have any Red/Green crosshair, I just have a white one only!!

Anyone else notice this or is it just me??

Me and Minnimo always use claymores

The funniest thing about Claymores is that the person you kill with one never seems to learn and comes right back for another one, at least that is what i find :P

So now, what is everyone's favourite map ?

Crash & Crossfire are my two personal favourites.

I like Crash & Downpour. The only two maps I seem to get a half decent score on. .

There's also a map called Showdown which is really good but have only played on it twice.

The only ones I really dislike are Bloc & Overgrown.

vacant is an awesome map!

Hey guys I'm still alive! Moved into a new house over the weekend so been rather busy. No doubt you lot have ranked way above me now

I will not be on COD4 till Wed at the earliest (going down to London tomorrow for the day on business). No idea what my connection will be like as 4 other people use the Internet in the house I'm in now so may lag out....but we will see.

I cant stand the wetworks map, dont like it at all.

Overgrown is my favourite, due to my sniper preference.

so it seems

Crossfire is my fave. It's a nice balance of sniping and close-up mayhem - reminiscent of Half Life's Crossfire DM map in that regard.

I noticed it turn red for enemies and green on allies. Only when you have the gun to hip though.

I was slightly disappointed there were no indoor maps. A map based on the TV station level could have been a lot of fun.

Also, am I the only one who finds it weird that all the targets you have to bomb seem to be green skips? And some of the headquarters are nothing more than an open shipping crate.

I noticed that it does do the Red/Green now so i am talking bobbins..... the problem is I am not sure if it is my old crappy TV or what but it appears like White..... Friendly is slightly off-white...... Enemy is slightly darker white.

I am sure it is probably green and red but it just doesnt appear like it on my tv
Never mind, it isnt that hard to tell who is who with the big names above lol

One thing that really p**ses me off with this game are the sniper rifle's.

In 'one shot one kill' the 50 cal sniper blows a man's arm off from half a mile away! Yet in multiplayer i shot a guy 3 times today just to have him run at me and knife me!

The Call of Duty 2 snipers were so much more effective.

I completed all the "boot camp" challenges today, and a few of the extra ones too, i'm up to rank 39 now!

I think this game will definately have downloadable content, especially maps, maybe gun camo too - that would be good.

I want a Rainbow Six: Vegas style custom camo setup so that we can pick from any 4 colours and create a camo style for our guns.
