COD4 Modern Warfare. Do NOT get MW2 or MW3. They suck. Be sure to get the 1.6 and 1.7 patches here. Also, you will need to manually put in Punkbuster now that they stopped supporting it. That should be pinned at the top of the cod4 forum. Just for disclosuse, you are talking to someone that works on the ftag mw most days of every week. For free. 20 bucks isnt much to ask.

$20 is the standard. Reason it costs still that much, compared to other cod games, is because its a good game still played regularly enough to justify the price. And, as in your case, it still sells. Just skip Burger King for a week.

Funny thing about the first alien was that while its head was very well done the rest of it still looked like a guy in a suit. So they shot around it and you never really saw the whole thing. Still one of the best taglines. "In space no one can hear you scream."

I cant imagine how any weapon would not be able to hit as something as big as a heli but be able to shoot enemies. But I am in the middle of reinstalling everything on my new hdd and will check it out when I can.

Thats a shame. RIP.

Mules are only good for packing things.

Well yea. The M16 is deadly accurate. It is supposed to be. You shoot at someone, and miss, you give away your position. Makes it that much easier for the other guy with an accurate weapon to get you. I did nothing to the M4 except change the model. The red dot is engine controlled. I couldnt change it even if I wanted to. Anybody that is having a problems with accuracy ask yourselves this: before was the ACR the only assault rifle you used? If the answer is yes then the problem is because there is no longer a noob gun to use.

Well, C4 damage was not changed. Some script changes were made for reliability problems under unusual circumstances and to accept Hacker. If you already have two charges planted, and hack a third, the older of the two explodes and then the various weapon arrays must account for that. Also the original was missing the double-tap key. Otherwise when it explodes, it explodes. I dont do anything to that.

I agree I thought it was pretty cool and benefitted players that spent most of their time defrosting, like myself. You only got some with the equivalent of one full defrost among however many players is required. But that also meant more players running around with armor. All those Halo helmets were causing grumbling, even tho max armor only protected you from one or two rounds at best, but it was only experimental anyways.

Lots of techie stuff below. Dont feel obligated to read it. Or if you feel there is 'magic' involved and dont want to spoil anything.... Maybe freelook has some different engine settings, that would be unusual. Maybe its a bug in the engine that I never noticed. Would have to see it happen both in the mod and in a stock game also. To set it so a player is visible to some but not others requires deliberately hiding an entity entirely then looping through every player in the game and say 'show it me'. Only a few things do this kind of thing. To get around asset limitations both modders and mappers will have multiple models in a single one. Both the Mig29 and F15 are in a single one for example each bound to a specific tag/joint. When launched the model is hidden to everybody in the game and the specific tag and its part is shown depending on which one of the two is needed. The UAV/CUAV does it also. The explosive decoy does it but twice since there are two crates. Each with a different part hidden. Friendlies see one (the trap) and enemies see the other (the decoy). MW2+ (or whichever has it) uses the two-crate method also. Change teams and it is all updated. For the RC, since cod4 isnt meant to handle vehicles in MP it requires a work around where there are two entities. The player/owner and a separate car model. The player model itself is changed to the car and the player hidden to everybody. However there is an engine thing. Players always see themselves in third person even if hidden. The other entity, the 2nd car model, is shown to everyone in the game 'except' the owner. He only sees himself. Enemies are shooting and damaging the 2nd car not the player since he is fully hidden. If you look very closely at a fast moving car you can see it 'jitter' a little. Unfortunately that is engine related and cannot be fixed. For those that remember, this was also the way to remove the problem of enemies shooting a car that has an invisible player above it. You couldnt damage the car because the invisible player model (torso, legs) hitbox was in the way. The convenient thing to do would have been to change the hitbox model. But because of hackers fucking it up for everybody the ability to do that was removed from MP entirely in one of the patches. But hiding a player globally also hides the hitbox. Which allows for the 2nd car to be shot. Because this is an obvious workaround when the RC/Predator/AC130/GBU24 ends the player is restored in several places with multiple-redundancy to make absolutely sure it is done correctly.

Sway is fine. The bubble defrost helps deal with it for those that do. Note that as always acog causes sway regardless of the weapon.

They dont listen to petitions. Already been tried with these guys.

Already tried the defrost body armor as a test to see how well it was received. Which wasnt very well. So it was removed.

How could you tell he was invisible by specing him?

Nope. Meaning I never played it. Besides if you watch South Park then you know Pokemon is nothing more than the latest attempt by Japan to take over the world.

Nobody is getting added to PB for any new hacks unless it goes to PBBans.

There is a license change to win8. If its an upgrade from a previous OS you cannot transfer the license. You are still bound by the original agreement. However if its a full copy you can transfer it as many times as you want so long as its installed on only one computer at a time.

Poor fish.

Well... not yet because you need to find out what the problem was and fix it.

9002 can be a few different things. A cod file that was hacked and it doesnt match the original. Or an extra file that doesnt belong. You can sometimes tell by what exe, or other file, the ban line refers to.

Harcore is overrated. One shot to the foot killing enemies? Flak jackets not stopping a pistol round? Pretty silly. Softcore with no regeneration is where its at.

As always do thourough scans for baddies. Also in this particular case look to see if that process is doing a lot of read/write operations.

I dont have an SSD. I am just curious how reliable they are in the long term. Their price is quite high for the amount of storage you get. edit: Well did a bunch of reading this afternoon because I really dont know too much about them. For the price I am not particularly comfortable with them yet. So instead got a 2tb wb black.

Uh oh. Yesterday morning on startup chkdsk ran. Found some things. And fixed them. Ok no big deal. But it did it again this morning. Running diagnostics its the older of the two drives, at 500gb. But its the one with the OS, programs and some of the more important data storage. Seems there are bad sectors. So going to back stuff up and see if they can be fixed. Shame because I am not even sure this drive is out of warranty that long. As expected. So in the long term looks like it will be time to get a new drive. Thinking maybe SSD for the OS and programs. 250 should be enough. They are still a bit pricey for me. Current standard HD 1tb for the storage. But how reliable are they?
