Theres 3 or 4 ways to get out of backlot. If your talking about the 2 story building with the mounted gun then jumping from the stairs shouldnt be too bad. You know what to do after that i take it? mighte take u a few attempts to get up that bricked wall pal. I know it did me!

You can also climb along the fence to the other roof.

Ambush is the best map, both sides of the 'tank road' have places to get on top of all the buildings.

All you have to do is jump accross the fence on each sides, and you can walk on top of all the buildings. If you fall down into the middle of the shanty buildings on one side, there is even a ladder to get you up onto the wall again - so obviously you're meant to get up there, just i havn't seen anyone else ever do it.

On Overgrown you can walk along that corrigated bridge and jump on top of the building that people sniper from - you can even walk all the way around the side.

On Crash you can get on top of the fence at the top of the trhee-storey building and jump off to one side and walk around the edge of the map at 30 feet up. You can also jump onto a certain roof (above the shop). you can also jump up to the ceiling in the garage where the car is.

On District you can jump on top of the marketplace roof, but nobody knows about the little balcony round the corner you can jump to where nobody ever looks.

On Strike there is another balcony you can hide in near the statue, just jump on the rubbish bins and walk along a wall. You can also walk around the back of the plant shop along the wall and around the building to jump onto a fence about 30 feet up.

On Backlot you cvan jump on the roof of the building in the middle, then jump off the railing to one side and land on top of a telegraph pole - you can hop onto two more telegraph poles and be 30 feet up in the air where nobody will look.

On Bog you can jump onto a car to get on top of a large container, as well as jumping on some boxes and hiding up a balcony. You can also jump on top of the fence and then onto a heating vent and hide 20 feet up a wall above a door.

On Bloc you can jump onto a stairway and climb up about 90 feet to the top of the stairs on the side of one building. (p.s what is the sword stuck in the rock supposed to mean!? )

erm.. thats about all i recall, apart from jumping on team mates heads, thats the only ones i know that you can do on your own and not have any oldcore modes where you can jump higher or anything.

Just as a bit of research what's all your rep at?

Before i started playing call of duty 4 i was at 92% prefered and 8%avoided (from my pg3 days)

Since i started playing COD4 i'm now at 42% prefered and 58% avoided!!

Iv'e not done anything insulting to anyone that i can think of,so i don't know why so many Cod4 players are avoiding me?

Funny thing is,is that a few people have put the reason for avoiding is because of communications when i didn't even have a head set!? lol

Bought a 360 on saturday, along with COD4 and a couple of other games. Very impressed with the 360, wish I had bought one sooner now, and COD4 is fantastic.

Question though, is XBOX Live, always so slow, and hard to connect to, I have a good broadband connection, but can't get a game after nine at night which is rubbish.

Any tips on the best time to play, and also on how to improve my kill ratio.

Cheers

Hey and welcome to the forum

There have been mad issues with Xbox Live these past couple of weeks and especially in the evening time. There is a thread on it here.

It's very unusual for it to go on so long though so that's a plus for anyone who's just bought it and panicking thinking what on earth have I bought!! It seems to have *kinda* sorted itself out now. Here's hoping. It wasn't so bad last night.

I shall leave the tips to someone else though. Make sure that you get some good ones!

Also if you want some names from DS on your friends list to play COD4 online with here is the GAMERTAG list that you can add people from

I know the ones from here only play for fun and not for "wanting to kick a$$" as you'll find from some clans

It didnt used to be like this at all. Infact before christmas, you were guaranteed problem free gaming any time of the day, and the marketplace didnt have to load, it was just there.
Since christmas, its been experiencing problems every day nearly, and last night was the first time i managed to get in to a game for ages. The marketplace is still slow though and the blades tent to freeze when sending a message or browsing people gamertags.

It really isnt as bad as last week though, so hopefully its on its way to perfection again!

As for tips - try not to get yourself killed and kill the enemy instead? lol
No idea to be honest, im working on my kill ratio at the moment where as i've gone from about 500 down to a 100 difference between deaths and kills. When you get used to the maps, you know what guns to use for each of them and learn how and where to find and kill the other team.

About time to play, when xbox live sorts itself out, any time is good, but most of us are usually on there from about 8pm onwards until early hours of the morning.

See you there !!

Thanks for your replys, I am doing my best not to get killed, but for some reason non of the other gamers got my memo not to shhot me but to let me shoot them.

I have been trying to get on from about 8pm onwards, once the little one is in bed and we have had some food.

I have been playing the team deathmatch games, and have noticed how some people do really get carried away, i am deffinatly just in it for some fun and relaxing after work.

I will try to add some oof the names from the list, my ID is knowles 79, so look out for me if I add you/get killed by you

Unlike Sinner I will be nice and send YOU the request rather than expect you to add every single one of us

Gamertag over there <<<<. I'll add you when I get home.

I'm not one to take tips from as this is the first online fps I've played for about 5 years & I was so aswful for the first 30 levels or so I'll probably never get a postive kill:death ratio again .

I was ill through the worst of the Live problems but it didn't seem too bad last night between 10-11pm when I played. Got stuck in a couple 1vs1 Search & Destroys, though which was fun.
There were only around 130k people playing as opposed to well over 300k the other day when it was barely working at all. So that might have something to do with it.

I can say for certain that if you are good at this game, like halo 3, expect your rep to take a nosedive. Some people don't like getting beat, most of them american i have found, so this is their low blow to counteract a UK ass whooping.

What happens when you chose Prestige mode?
I'm on Level 41 but wondered what happens when you get to Level 55. Do you keep all of your weapons and attachments once you chose prestige mode.
Thanks

No you don't keep your weapons if you re rank in prestige. You start again with weapons. You can do that ten times. Or you can continue doing challenges and aim toward the golden guns by completing challenges on all weapons.

We play most of the games at some point. Sinner doesnt really like Search and Destroy, but we make him play anyway You'll be grand. The other ones are more objective and you have an aim other than shooting people in them. I prefer that because I normally get my a$$ kicked in team deathmatches!

What's the state of Live and COD4 now? I've been online the last few nights playing Mass Effect and not seen much of the DS crowd on. Has everyone given up till the all clear has been sounded?

btw does anyone know who eggs barker is? I got a friends request from this person and I'm not sure if I know him/her from DS.
