Why would you wanna pay more? unless you're really that desperate to play this game.

Think alternatives! Think Opportunity Cost! Think BFBC2!

Think L4D3 :3

just try the MP out...
3 games just one below one ping bar....
only problem..is...
u actually dont know who the hell you are playing with

SP finished in one night? thats fast

...4 hours of gameplay....can finish it 6 times in one day (lol!)

0:01 - Scoreboard. Note the latency charts. This is one of the rare occasions I get more than 2 bars. Unfortunately half the room isn't as lucky, turning the match into a complete joke anyway.
0:13 - Random freeze. Yes, these happen often regardless of how many bars you get, and has to do with connection and/or CPU hiccups on the part of the host. Dedicated servers don't have this problem (Unless it's running on a shitty box). For you idiots claiming it's hardware on my side, notice how stuff still moves a little while my view is frozen - that's client prediction trying to make the best of it.
0:24 - It's hard to see, but the game teleports me to completely different locations for a split second. Score another for a shitty connection to the host alongside client prediction. I took three screencaps of where exactly it took me (Check out the kill notifications if you believe I'm making this up with random screencaps)
0:36 - Check out the timing of the stun grenade leaving my hand. This is a more obvious representation of the delay, as when you're firing full auto your mind subconsciously 'tricks' you into thinking your first bullet misses along with bullet travel time (lol), so hitreg seems 'better' when firing guns as opposed to throwing projectiles.
0:58 - More minor spikes
1:06 - lol no comment. I won't bother annotating anymore of these spikes
1:44 - Another projectile throw
1:58 - The hit blip is actually from my pistol's first round. FUNNY HOW IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S NO LAG BECAUSE I FIRE MULTIPLE BULLETS, RIGHT? HEHE

Note that I didn't cherry pick a match with a terrible connection to the host. I said I'd fraps, started up MP, started up Fraps, and went right off. I don't know about you, but I haven't been feasting off complete shit for the past 15 years in terms of first person shooter quality of play, so you have to forgive me if my standards for the most anticipated release of the decade is a little high. If you're satisfied (USD60lol) with the smell of cow poop emanating from this level of performance for what was originally slated to be the premiere multiplayer FPS by literally the whole world from Dec2008 to Sept2009, I salute you.

There still is no solid reason (other than anti-piracy) not to have dedicated servers and mod tools/consoles. The hardcore/most loyal fraction of IW's following got screwed up the ass. There's no sugarcoating that fact.

Wooo... I think I've seen that lag somewhere before.... oh yeah, the flying macaroni monster.

Youtube it plox. kty.

(or should I help you upload it?)

EDIT:

k uploaded. Have phun.


All credits goes to falk.

Aww, private video restriction

Oops. Fixed

terenya falk >.<

Falk is god in CoD4 community.

Anyway really nice review falk

Falk, may I have a request? could you please upload more frag videos? If i'm not gonna get this game I could atleast enjoy watching it.

You have a another fan here

That's not even a frag video. The frags suck, RPD is overpowered, and it's too laggy to even enjoy watching (again, my standards are pretty high)

I'm working on SWL's CoD4 Promod frag video though. ;p Teasers on facebook... guess I'll mirror the teasers somewhere else as well.

O well, the usp scene made me drool
i prefer mw2 videos though, as it looks nicer and theres much more stuff
demonstrate some of the perks!

I'd consider it if:

1) I could record demos for playback later (so that I didn't have to play at 30fps while frapsing)
2) There was a console so I could actually tweak stuff and not have it look like complete ass (Aspect ratio/FoV/gun position/etc), and capture at a slower timescale so that I don't get dropped frames in Fraps. Not to mention half-reso footage.
3) There was content worth making a frag movie of. Unfortunately with no high level play (Anyone can shoot idiots who stand still) and so many random network issues, it's absolutely not worth my time. Sorry.

You can thank IW for the fail re: all three of the points above, btw.

You won't be seeing any of that for MW2. Not until IW grows a brain stem regarding competitive play, which actually consists of more than throwing money at Multiplay just so that i38 (upcoming EU LAN event) hosts a MW2 tourney.
