Is there some official events going on then?

Well I'll be on tonight so will try and add as many of the DSers as i can so if you see some randomer offering requests and your not bothered by it that'd be great

Also will try and give some excuses to my mate as to why i'll be playing away from our usual bunch for the night

Sorry for double post...

Just so you know and was wondering why I couldnt add you dude your full up on the friends list

Feel free to add me also mate, the more the merrier. I've just re-prestiged again so I'm back to basics. We have started a game arranging thread on the PS forums so watch out for when we arrange games, although most of us are on every night anyway.

psn = redgengis

Cheers dude sent an invite to you

I played a little this morning before my connection went down(sorry chrism) Has anyone noticed that the game seems to be full of french players alately or is it just in the mornings?

Also i wish they would do something about the damn spawn killers on s&d. This morning my team was against a full clan of 'noob tube' users on ambush. I tell no lie, at least 6 grenades came flying over the hill at the start followed by another 6 grenades. Every match was over within seconds as most of my team were newbies so they did'nt know wtf was going on! I managed to escape the onslaught twice but 6 against 1 isn't a fair match when you're trying to plant the bomb.

On a brighter topic, I'll be on most of the night sunday if anyones intrested? Damn work has been keeping me away from my box alately so i havn't played in the evenings for a while.

Damn boss and his stuipid rules about bringing in game's consoles to work

Thanks for the games last night and was good getting to play with you

I gave up in the end with my connection... no idea what was happening as its not done that in a while

Anyways hope I held my own and look forward to play ya'll again!

Yeah, there were a few problems in the later hours for some reason, but we got some games in.

COMMUNITY MAPPING CONTEST (PC)

We have launched the official Mod Tools for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on the PC and to celebrate, we're holding a 'Community Mapping Contest' which allows you, the community, to take map making into your own hands and create custom multiplayer maps for the #1 selling game of 2007.

What's your dream map? Wide open spaces perfect for sniping, or close quarters combat with plenty of cover to bound back and forth from? Maybe a nice mixture with plenty of avenues to attack from and some perfect choke points you can ambush from with the right amount of team work. Whatever you think makes a good multiplayer map, we want to see it. Most importantly, we want your best work.

On March 31st, we're going to be choosing our favorite community made maps and award the map makers of our favorites picks with special prizing and opportunities which we can't announce just yet but will be in the very near future (probably within a week). However the clock is ticking to get your map designed, as I said, we'll be choosing our favorite community made custom multiplayer maps on March 31st.

Wonder if the winner/s map/s get chosen for the future map packs.

I was hoping for a new map within a few months, i hope something comes of this. But with the comp finishing on the 31 st of march i can't see any maps hiting the consoles until may/june


edit: Just remembered seeing this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLwdI5-eYEo before the game was even released! Maybe we'll see a special map when halloween comes

This could be a very clever way of letting the public make the maps, IW just polish up any code and releasing it cross platform for free. I could understand them charging for new maps if they were doing all the work, but letting the public do it and just selecting the best 6 and just making them workable would cut out a lot of the expense to IW and then there would be no reason to charge for it.

Then again, MS for one would probably hope to cash in on the 2 million COD4 owners that are gagging for some new maps!!!

Thats mad.

Maybe they intended the game to come out before October the 31st and had this map planned as an extra map on the PC version, but the game got put back, so they worked on the 'Christmas Crash' level and ditched the Halloween idea.?

Anyone been watching Ross Kemp in afghanistan on Sky One?? Its a great series, and it certainly compliments a game of COD4
Although I think id rather being playing the game then be doing it for real

Yes I have

I feel sorry for them guys that he shows. Was weird when they mentioned RPG's in the first episode and I knew what they were! Have to catch up on it!

Yes I know! It was strange watching it really.
I think its repeated tonight on Sky Two and a new on next week I love it.

Aye I Sky+ it, its sitting waiting on me watching it lol. I found his shows on gangs interesting too.

He's good at that aspect of shows methinks

haha! I tried to record this last one, but it failed! So i'll probs watch it then have a game after. Though for some reason im back on COD 2 again now! lol

I played the demo of that. I enjoyed it, but didnt think anyone played it online anymore enough to buy it

Some still do, but I rarely play online much these days, with the execption of warhawk. I seem to always get interrupted or called out!
I just liked it for the gameplay and story.

COD4 has much better online play than 2 though.

I had the best time on COD4 last night. I played the whole night non-stop game after game because i was the host and i didn't end the game!

I played tons and tons of team deathmatch, averaging 30+ kills per game - i even raised my ratio by 0.05 (which is extremely hard to do when you've got 47,000 kills!) so i'm back down in the 450 area on the kills leaderboard now.

The hard thing is, when i play, i kill loads of people and slowly gain places on the leaderboards, but when i get up every morning and check it, i've fallen back down just as many places as i gained the previous day! so, the hard part is getting enough kills in a day which allows you to gain so many places up the leaderboard that the people around you on the leaderboard wont overtake you.

A couple of people from here popped in from time to time, too.

I couldn't ever imagine playing all day/night on this game as it stresses me out after an hour or two. I do love COD4 but I have to keep putting another game on after a session to help me relax again. It's a pretty intense game and it requires a lot of concentration so it would completely drain me playing for that long. Some people at the top of the leaderboards seem to have devoted their lives to it

Of course it helps when you don't have a life to begin with.

I haven't met a single gold cross prestige player who isn't a total idiot.

Exactly, don't these people have jobs or anything? Even on my days off I like to get out and do other things and will perhaps play for a while if I get chance but I wouldn't want to climb my way up the ranks if it meant I had to dedicate my life to being consigned to my house in front of a TV screen
