How about we start a COD4 clan? Been itching to get back to COD4, and pwning noobs

If we do, we'll need a suitable name - over to Dowly.

Good luck on finding players for COD4 here.

(edit - not the biggest FPS player, this is the only one i'm reasonably good at.)

Well, the problem with COD4 is that it takes what was silly in Counter-Strike and adds a whole lotta quake deathmatch to it. Many don't like games where you can win by learning to jump and shoot at the same time or learn a spot in the map from where you can toss a grenade over 3 story building to an hotspot.

True, but I used to play more clan/tounament matches that did not allow rubbish such as "bunny hopping". Made for more interesting matches.

Dunno what version of COD4 you've been playing, I haven't seen anyone bunnyhopping ever - noone has enough health to allow for that. But there are people who camp and toss grenades everywhere (like me

)

CoD4? Not a chance in hell.

No ballistics, tiny maps, pistol headshots at 50 meters, unscoped shots don't go where the weapon points, unrealistic perks nonsense, etc.

I could go on, really, I could, for hours.

I'd suggest the community to give DWX 1.2 a try

http://www.redrodgers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4912

Just need to download part 1 to part 4 and nothing else.

It adds many many playable platform with one or two with custom interfaces. It's really cool especially if Multi player comes to mind. I haven't tested how MP feels like with it though so I'm not aware if there are issues with it and MP session.

Of course there's always the reliable LWAMI

Weiss Pinguin · 09-06-10, 01:25 AM

Seems like LWAMI is more reliable and maybe more ested, but I'd be up for DW+X

I haven't put much time into DWX 1.2 but I can tell so far it seems to be clear of bugs and I haven't noticed anything which I would consider a bug or a glitch.

That Type 214 or Type 212 or that Collins class or driving that British Trafalgar or the exotic Victor II or Victor III or Lada or hunting a player Delta IV SSBN or a player Typhoon...umm the possibilities are endless

. I do not know how stable it is for multi player but I think it's worth a try considering the effort and quality that has gone into making this mod.

No more silly passive AI either, be prepare to get counterattack when you launch a missile or torpedoes.

Vietcong would also be a good option imo, but I bet most people don't own that. Never was the most popular game.

And Men of War; would make for a nice tournament, or just to get some games going.

Oberon · 09-08-10, 09:23 AM

Had a tank only battle on MoW the other night, the tank that did the best out of all of the tanks I spawned (right up to the Tiger II) was a little Panzer IV which sat by a tree and banged away at anything that came near it.
I lost, but it was quite nice to watch.

Always the little ones you have to watch out for

Aaargh, will someone just pick a game!

If anyone else owns it that's great. (I'm only just picking up gaming again - haven't really played since Rainbow Six so I'm in no postition to suggest anything)

Whoever next wants to pick a name (Oi, Dowly/Arclight) how about Subsimmers and Multiplayers, or as I prefer S&M
