Yes.. a COD4 question...

[Silent_Assassin]

Me and a few mates have been smashing MW3 lately (PS3), but a couple of us decided to have a bit of a trip back to COD4 for a laugh. Only thing was whenever my mate tries to get on, he gets a pop up message saying 'Are you sure you want to play COD4?' and when he clicks yes it just resets his PS3, anyone else ever heard of this? We heard one other person had this but when they clicked yes it loaded. Would just be nice to go back and have a game.

Perhaps it wants you to play Battlefield?

All of the COD4 games I played when I tried it a couple of months ago were glitched. So maybe its something to do with that?

Someone has hacked the servers so alot of the time it will ask you if you want to play and then it will just freeze.

I've been having the same problem with CoD4 for about three weeks, and it was hacked previously quite a few times last year too. I tried Battlefield3 for a while then switched and had more fun on CoD3. I really miss CoD4 though and hope they resolve this show-stopper soon.

Best CoD ever, sadly ruined now. Strangely I really do miss it.

Me too. It was just about the killing and nothing else. Not even points really mattered as you got next to nothing. Excellent excellent game.

We lost the battle this time, then we lost the whole war.

I picked up COD 4 this time last year for a couple of quid, thought I'd give it a go having only played it round a mates house. The servers wern't 'entirely' deserted, however all the people on there were clearly COD4 fanatics who could probably locate the enemy spawn points quicker than their own front doors...

As the only non-max level player on there it was akin to slaughter

I do however keep playing COD5 WaW (despite having recently getting addicted to BF3). WaW is still the finest infantry-based multiplayer game for me (specifically the servers with no artillery/dogs)- No overcomplications, great maps, great weapons, and the eternally satisfying 'crunch' sound when a headshot is made! I will keep playing COD 5 for as long as there are players on the server.

Shame the newer games in the series don't have the magic of 4 & 5.

Hmm, I wonder if the COD1 United Offensive multiplayer servers still have much activity?

Them were the days!...

I preferred MW2 tbh (COD6 iirc) and have played it online right up until Christmas ..the servers were still busy then

Only stopped playing MW2 because I got MW3 for Christmas and have taken to it like a duck to water.

I agree with the above posts, it is such a shame that probably the best of the series ends up like this. I have enjoyed other COD games but nothing has ever really seemed to have the same buzz as COD4. Maybe I'll start a petition to get it brought back haha..

Yep, why did they have to go and hack everything? I liked playing MW2 too and collecting the emblems and stuff. Loved going around with my M4 1000's headshot in my title. But then they hacked it and it all became worthless.

Same with MW1, me and my brother were up to about 10,000 in the world on kills and climbing before we stopped to play cod5. But then there was no point as there were all them hack accounts at the top.

Imbeciles.

You might be surprised. A LOT of people still play COD2 and 3 online. No mucking about, people are there just to play the game, it's great fun!

I know how you feel, I was in top 300 at one point for kills before it got hacked. I think leaderboards are a waster of time now, it gives too many people a reason to hack, not that they need much of an excuse.

To be fair it wouldn't surprise me- I only got into playing COD1 UO online when COD4 came out (which my PC at the time wouldnt run!) and the COD1 & 2 servers were still packed even then! I was also pleasantly surprised by the lack of constant chat abuse that sadly seems to plague the newer versions. (A reflection on the evolving direction of their demographic perhaps?)
