Does anyone know how exactly the cheaters get COD4 to work in their favour?

I'm not planning on doing it myself, but after practically emptying a whole RPD magazine into a guy yesterday and him still not dying (he didn't have juggernaut on either) I was just wondering what it is they do to the game that lets them cheat?

The follow on questions being, isn't it detectable and there fore ban-able?
I think all it is, is a lag switch, which makes you slower, hence him being able to move around you, shooting you, while you basically shoot thin air. It might look on your screen like you're hitting him, but watch the killcam and you'll see you were shooting at nothing.
Its really common these days to see it, and it whats spoils multiplayer gaming.

Im retaliating and playing more of Burnout Paradise now until they find how to glitch driving through walls and oncoming cars lol

Ah, I always wondered why half the time I never seem to be doing what I thought I was doing when the Kill-Cam replay is shown.

Thanks

Well I think it's a healthy way of letting others know that they aren't the only ones being bothered by the things that you are

If you've ever played an online PC game in your life, you'll know heavy amounts of cheating is nothing new, no matter what game it is, just have to deal with it and find a friendly server, the really bad thing about COD4 though is that because you can shoot through walls by default, players can now activate a kind of simple hack that lets them see player's heat signatures through any surface; enemies show up as red figures and friendlies of course green, and can easily pick them off with no fuss.

Just came across a map on youtube for COD4, it isnt an official one its a user custom made one. However this is an amazing map IMHO and its only 75% done. Its called 'HILLTOP' and it starts low and as you can imagine the opposite end of the map is high. It has more stairs, ladders, undergrounds and sniping spots that you could ever imagine.

Take a look here and let me know what you think

Yeah It looks like a good map (saw it last week, with the elevator and a big ladder leading to the top of the hotel )

Yeh, that ladder up the back of the hotel is one hefty climb (wouldnt fancy getting shot down from that! ) That'll be good, a working lift, i'll be waiting outside of it with my shotty waiting for the clink* to which ill greet them with - say hello to my little, Bang! The sewers and the underground looks good too. I think he said you can also jump from building to building without climbing each one individually.

When i first started watching it i thought well for things like S&D its gonna be abit unfair with one team spawning at the top on the hill and the others at the bottom, but theres plenty ways to get up/down to take out the enemys.

Love CoD4, but the most annoying things for me;

Snipers - Don't mind the odd one, but the other night I was playing Groundwar on 'Bog' and literally every one of the opposition team was armed with a sniper rifle. Boring.

Campers - Came across one idiot just sitting in an alcove picking off people as they ran past. Clocked him the first time about 30 seconds into the game. Clocked him in the exact same position again with about 30 seconds left. What the fcuk is the point of just sitting there for 10 minutes on the off-chance that someone might run past.

Grenades - Again, in moderation not a problem, but people who randomly chuck them and end up killing me, piss me off.

Ninjas - People who just run up and down the map killing people in CQ with a shotgun. No skill required whatsoever.

Respawing - Specifically, either respawning into the middle of an air-strike, or, just as bad, respawning right next to an opposition player, usually, with your back to them.....

I am a grenading Ninja on some maps/game modes

Anyone think an underground tunnel map would be a great one for Domination...... like the underground tunnels in PIPELINE but in a much bigger scale with no surface action.

It would be so intense with two teams fighting each other in a warren of tunnels and small rooms with no chance of Snipers, Random Grenade throws etc having any real effect.

How do you want people to play?! It'd be boring if everyone played the same. I agree with the respawnig but you can hardly blame somoene for taking an easy kill, you'd do the same.

There is quite a bit of skill in being a Ninja.
You need to pick your route carefully to avoid being taken out and you'll more than likely have no team mates around you for support so will have to keep your wits about you. If I'm being a ninja I use a silenced SMG to avoid detection.

The fun is in working out how the opposition is playing and finding the best way to beat them.

I used to get annoyed with all the above but it takes all the enjoyment out of the game if you get worked up everytime you get killed.

The biggest reason for frustration and annoyance with the game is the leaderboard ratios..... if you cant be bothered with your K/D ratio or Kill Streak etc then it becomes a lot less stressfull and you can just go and enjoy the game then!

I agree with this.

My greatest annoyance with the game is players that don't play with the team. For example when i play search and destroy i will try to plant/defuse the bomb no matter what the circumstances, weather I'm against one guy or the whole team. I hate players that camp at spawn with the bomb and say that they 'no chance' to plant/defuse so they sit their just to protect their precious kill ratio.

Don't play cod4 much now anyway. Fuel of war is my new multiplayer home

I don't really have too much of a problem with either ninjas or grenades, as long as it's in moderation. It's the bell-ends who just employ the same tactics every single game, irrespective of map, and just do it from start to finish. To me, the enjoyment is varying your style of play to suit the map.

On the respawning point, I've got no problem with people picking up easy kills, I'd do the same. It's the fact that it respawns you next to someone rather than that someone then making the kill.
