did 1.3 just come out? (pc) i went to auto update, said 1.2 is available and 1.0 was installed... installed 1.3 and now there's no servers coming up on multiplayer.
Zilo, could having only 10 gigs of space on my hd available cause this issue? the patch said 30gb free.
i cant see that happening though.
So you are 20 gigs short? I'm not quite sure what you are saying.
Sorry, no. The patch says you -should- have 30gb free when installing... heh. And 1.3 obviously just dropped, more servers are popping up. I'm just boggled as to what could be causing my issue...
No, 10gb is plenty of free space. Try reinstalling/updating DirectX?
I just bought this and I'm nearly done with Act 1. It's pretty dull. The Marines are all bland, forgettable, and tools, and the combat is "Run here and fight these respawning enemies until we say so! Now move up and get shot by people who are hard to see! Right, now go in a building! Oops, you don't need to go in there! Run along and fight some more respawning enemies!"
I might exchange this for Assassin's Creed. Will it be any better?

Keep playing, it gets better. Especially if you don't like the Marines
As soon as you can make your way around to the back of where all the other team are sitting, you rack up kills like no one's business.
Bandoleer gives enough ammo that if for some reason you have no luck with ammo from corpses you'll still be able to kill the other team several times over since you only need maybe 6 rounds per bad guy you run into.
I still find I like all middle east maps over Wetworks/Downpour/Overgrown.
More open area = more silencing flanking shooty goodness.
Though I'm getting fonder and fonder of Overgrown now I've got the jammer build going.

Also play multiplayer because it's incredible
Yeah the multiplayer is fun. I'm also forced to play with the US of A and then lag like an Australian whore (well, an Australian anyway) which is not so fun. Still - I did come first when I was rank 1 and playing a couple of rank 49-ers...
I just can't help but feel I would have more fun parkour'ing up a bunch of mosques.

Wait for a while, usually takes about 5 minutes and you'll eventually get a fair number of sub 50 ping servers pop up for most types (this is if you're playing the PC version)
Most people tend to be around 40ish now when I play, but just grab the RPD and rock some faces with that till you get a high enough rank to play with some other guns.
So...it looks like we're gonna need a new COD4 thread soon. Unless someone else wants to do it I volunteer. Here's the thing...I'm not digging through 100 pages to find every gamertag and I'd like a list. So, since the OP is just swell I figure I'd just steal it outright and put up a gamertag list. I'll just copy paste the old one, and make three lists, 360, PS3, or PC. Sooo...if you want to just PM me your name if you're not on that first list and which version you play I'll try to keep a nicely updated list of players on the OP. Although if someone else wants to do this feel absolutely free, I'm just offering. So....unless someone else would rather, I'll put up a new COD thread tomorrow afternoon most likely when I have time.
What's great about high ranked people is that once you shoot them, you get their crap.
It's like they did all the work for you!
That's why I don't understand all the people who sit at level 55 and don't take prestige. If you made it up to 55, chances are decent that you are good enough that you no longer need all the perks and guns. I just jumped down to prestige 1 and in my first match got 18 kills and 5 deaths. If you really cannot stand the iron-sighted M4A1, then just pick up some smuck's gun. Nearly everyone plays with red-sights so it's not that big of a deal.
Honestly, I was so excited to jump to prestige 1. I don't know why. I think it's because I have such a good time maxing out the challenges and earning everything. Hell, it even forces me to use guns like the M14 which I generally don't trust.
I swear I was playing against some cheaters last night. They were using those lmgs and shooting like 4 times from medium range and killing me. Hell I saw one of the guys on the kill cam just firing wildly and he somehow head shotted me in 4 shots.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

this. i've run into this so much lately that i've given it a try. any of the lmg's with the grip attachment, say double tap and steady aim percs, and you can just hold down the trigger until you get the reticule over someone and you've got a kill. it's pretty crazy, the only downside so far is you run so slow, it's easy to get flanked.

I fire my M60 in three round bursts and it normally only takes one burst to kill people from range. I swear the M60 is the best 'sniper' rifle in the game, plus if someone comes up too close to you it also works great at close range if you fire longer. Just make sure you always take a knee with it.

The worse "cheat" moments are when the knives come out. I swear there have been so many times where I have stood at a man's back- no more an inch or two away - and swung my knife only to have it glide through air meaninglessly. At other times the enemy will melee and the knife hones in on me from three feet away ala Halo-sword style and kills me.
Those moments are the worst. Although I also particularly hate it when I'm on a kill streak and then the enemy spawns behind me in a random corner and kills me. I know they have no control over it, but it certainly makes me resentful.

I dunno watching the kill cam was a lot like watching that cheating video, these guys would zoom in on me and just fire 3 rounds and be done (one time from a full whip around). So as much as I'd hate to call skill cheating, this shit definately seemed wrong.

They are out there. Mostly they are pathetic, but there are some insidious players that are very good at hiding their use.
Thats unfortunate.
Although I prefer the mouse and keyboard for FPS shooters, the rampant cheating I've experienced (not in this game, in other PC FPS games I've played) has made me prefer console FPSs to PC ones.
I mean, that one you linked to, the guy wasnt even being fucking subtle.

It's something you get used to. It's only annoying if more than two or three are on the same server using them. Then it get impossible to stay alive long enough to get even a few kills. CoD / CoD 2 were both horrible for it because it was so easy to conceal with the Kar. The average person that sues them can't move worth a damn, and are easily dispatched when they have to reload / swap weapons. Then there are a guys I don't understand that have been caught using them. They can play well on their own, move, dodge, do trick jumps, etc... but still use a scanner / bot just to be #1 every round when they would be top 5 anyway.

They just can't be seen as "losing" that's why they cheat, they are a good player who wants that extra edge for victory.
One thing I am not a fan of is servers that dont have autobalancing on, I was playing on countdown (not my favorite map by far) and it was 4 on 11 team death match, with that many targets it should be easier when you are one of the 4, not so much when everytime you spawn you are dead from 3 people.

Halo 2 had its own problems, but it really was the only console game I've seen rampant cheating on. Bungie learned from their mistakes so it isn't the same with the sequel.

Halo 2 had its issues with exploits.....but I have NEVER seen anything like that video on a console.. evar.
You never saw anyone modding on Halo 2? Did you ever get above a 20 in rank? The higher levels were filled with people, atleast in team slayer, the modded the shit outta that game. Infact a bunch still do.

I tend to use the knife a lot now, its sort of gotten second nature to hit V when I see someone in range and I've noticed it actually does seem to track slightly when you use it, theres been times where I knew it was going to miss and its tracked slightly and still taken them down.
Actually, last night though I ran around a corner into a guy while I was reloading my MP5, I hit sprint and started running around him till he emptied his clip, then emptied his pistol then we ran around for a few seconds trying to knife each other.
We back off, getting all mexican standoffish, then run towards each other, knives out, when I whip out my pistol and shoot him dead.
It was like something out of the Matrix, but fucking badasser.
Then I headshotted by some guy with a M14 through a window.
So I'm having a minor issue. I can't join any games (PC)! I always lose my connection to any server I try to join. I'm pretty sure it's my fault but has anyone else had an issue?

So people seem to bitch about the P90 a lot, how powerful it is, mag size and such. I just unlocked it, and I fucking hate it. Did I get a broken one, or something? :P

A lot of people bitch about the various guns. Dudes always need a reason to explain why they're losing so they come up with imaginary faults with some aspects of the game.
It's probably been asked a lot, but why did they decide not to include bots for private matches?
Well, bots aren't made so easily, they can't just flip a switch for bots to appear. I suppose they could get some half assed bots running around either being terribly useless or way too good (Splinter Cell: DA bots) and call it a day, but then we wouldn't really use it.
