That and the controls and the guns are s
t on bf. The maps and spawning is much nicer, but thats about it. Oh and the ability to blow st up.
But i hate the controls and the fact guns are next to useless at killing people.
Just my opinion ofcourse
I've never seen a better example of a time to use the phrase "A bad workman always blames his tools"t on bf. The maps and spawning is much nicer, but thats about it. Oh and the ability to blow st up.But i hate the controls and the fact guns are next to useless at killing people.
Just my opinion ofcourse
I have no problem killing people with BF's guns, thats because I'm ace though.
I have no idea what you mean about the controls though? The button layout is more intuitive than CoD and can be changed anyway. Also the stick sensitivity is spot on.
To the OP i'd start with BF 1943, it is a re-working of probably the greatest online shooter of all time, once you get playing it is sublime and skill/experience are better rewarded. Also the games carries a more varied arry of play with tank/planes/mounted guns/boats/repair/assists etc.
Or go out and get a cheap copy of BF2 or BF: Bad Company which are both awesome online.

I didn't rate BF:bad company but loved BF2 on the 360. I just didn't think online part was as frantic with BF:BC as it was with BF2.Am going to dust off BF2 and see if there is anyone still playing it.

Oh yes, tried it last night in a kill all lobby, may as well have stood in the middle of an open field with a big arrow pointing at me and a target strapped to my head!I was wondering why the hell everytime I lined up on someone I got shot by someone else, thinking it was kill all there would be no team-work, WRONG the gits were hunting in pairs, became blatant when I'm top of a building, had already sniped two and two guys appeared side by side and bombarded my position with heavy fire and a grenade launcher!

had already sniped two
Thats were you're going wrong. Sniping doesn't get you anywhere in CoD4, which is a good thing. There are way too many skilless camping fkers online who just sit there and wait for someone to walk across their crosshairs. Run and gun is the way to go. I don't mean spraying the gun all over the place but working your way round the maps activly looking for the opposition rather than waiting for them to come to you.thetrash said:

got up a few levels so thought I'd do some sniper work, got a better kill rate but not as satisfying, how far do I have to get before I get the 'red dot' sighted machine gun, I seemed quite good with that when I picked one up last night.Think I need to try some team stuff so someone can watch my back!
Don't give up - as you level up you'll get more useful perks and as you get more kills you'll unlock better sights and silencers for the guns, which'll make it easier to kill - I find some of the iron sights really hard to get to grips with.
When you get to level 55 you can either stay there or start prestige mode, where you drop back to level 1 but collect shiny new medals - the challenge then comes with seeing how good you are without your fancy guns and how quickly you can level up again.
Oh, and please stay away from the Juggernaut perk........

to get the red dot attachment you will have to get (i think) 25 kills with the particular gun.
This could take me a long while 1) If your side wins its an easy 250 points.
2) When Shipment comes along (tiny map!!) you'll get lots of kills and get the red dot.
3) You're on a team, so half the guys won't try and kill you!
Try MP5 or M4 guns at first, add red dot asap and enjoy.
