lmao

Any more ideas welcome!!


We can have BETS on who's gonna win the game? Or we can have a wee DS tournament against each other! And work our way up!
Sounds like a plan

On kind of a side issue,
I wonder if any one has any thoughts on this scenario that I have encountered:
I'm wandering around, and come across an enemy round a corner, say, we both aim and fire at the same time, but I die.
On the killcam I see myself being shot without even aiming the weapon.
How does that work then?
Welcome to the wonderful world of lag.

We've all been there I'm afraid... Unfortunately if the other player has a better connection than you they seem to get a "better" version of the future which overrides yours... which is why the kill-cam doesn't fit with what you remember happening.

Usually happens when playing some USA players and you can see the signal bars off all the players on the right hand side of the Scoreboard where they are all high green and you are lower in the green down to yellow.

Usually means it appears your shooting directly into a person, but in reality they have had a fraction of a second to move and your display is taking slightly longer to catch up with that so your bullets are missing by mere cm's probably.

True, but as i found out last week, you can stand 2 foot in front of a guy, unload a G36C full clip into his chest and head as he just stands looking at you and then when your reloading he just shoots you with 2 shots of a G3

That was the night where the USA players kicked our arses and claimed we were all crap when nobody could kill them

Remember, Guns don't kill people, Lag does!!


Has anyone encountered a problem/glitch on "Strike". I was playing Domination and it said we were losing flag C so I ran there and saw the icon flashing but I couldn't see where the guy was capturing it from!! I ran all around looking for him but didn't find him. When i stood near the flag the bar was on screen but wasn't going up or down, it was like when two opposite poeple are capturing it at the same time, he didn't come out and kill me so I'm guessing he didn't want to give away his glitch spot!!

^^ C on Strike is a glitch. The building next to C, on the ground floor there's a back room. If you go in there and stand by the wall closest to C you can capture the flag whilst you're still in the building.

You can also capture it on the stairs to the side of C that lead into the building.

Re lagging, I have to admit, I think I've been very lucky so far as it's not scuppered me too much. There are occasions when I die in CQC, as I appear to be slower on the draw, but to be honest, I tend to do most of my business from range, medium to long.

I got lag killed last night. while i was moaning the missus turned and said "its not like you would've killed him anyway"

sorry about the shinfo.

Had some good games last night, and i finally seem to be geting a bit better, and not dying as much. Ambush is fast becoming my favorite map, as its pretty fun to play.

Yeah, that match was a perfect example of why "lag is bad"

I seem to remember Minnimo and I getting the drop on one guy and him still killing the two of us

That game was the worst i have ever seen it without the Connection Interuppted sign popping up. It was the fact that it played smoothly for us and yet it appeared they were cheating cos they were indestuctible.... and worse part was it started off as a minor thing and by the end it had got so bad that we just ended up standing there letting them win cos we couldnt kill them!

I had this problem last night. I was using the Skorpion with Stopping Power & Steady Aim on Vacant and was hardly winning any close encounters, even when I saw them and shot at them first. I was always shooting from the hip and was still being outgunned by someone with an M4 and the kill cams showed I hadn't fire any shots when I'd used half a clip on him!

I had 1 connection bar while the other team had 3-4. I don't like to make excuses when I do badly but it can be impossible to kill people sometimes.

The worst element of lagging that I've seen is the 'teleportation' effect. I've had it a couple of times. You'll start shooting at someone and then they appear halfway across the screen without seemingly having to move there!

If your in a party with some people who have the new maps, and some who dont. Will the new maps just not appear when being selected?

I heard you get RROD as your Xbox won't be able to cope with such a difficult decision. I think the people without the maps should be forced to spectate.


Are we going to get together for some matches when the maps are out? In Minnimo's absence there haven't been any DS matcvhes of late.

i worry about this.

to spend 800MP on maps and never use them because im always in a party where not everyone has the maps.

In COD 3 it kicked you out if you didn't have the maps though didnt it, maybe IW will adopt that?

Seriously...who here who plays COD4 regularly is not going to get the maps? ( Yes Khristbait, you can put your hand down now.... But if I am buying these maps I want them in heavy rotation. Ditch Bloc too.

I'm sure IW will have some sort of system in place.
