Just Bugs Me

Unread postby Jez » 13 Dec 10, 9:10 am

In the spirit of TvTropes' "Just Bugs Me" section for various different media, I thought we might start a thread here with little annoyances people find in the MP rather than the SP portions of the game.

Is anyone else still annoyed by the fact that we get only five class slots with a maximum of ten if we invest a lot of playtime? It seems absurd to me that three years after COD4's release we're still using the same five kit model for a game with significantly more options available when creating a class. There are more game modes than there are kits available at the start for eff's sake.

Want to go play a different game mode? Great, I've got to change at least one kit, and then change it back when I'm done. What's this? I forgot? Oh boy Scavenger is going to be really useful to me in Search and Destroy, since I really like the warm comforting feeling of knowing I have several hundred rounds of reserve ammunition for when the enemy team respaw-... :(

Another thought struck me the other day. In a game of S and D I'd stacked up three killstreaks: a spy plane, a care package, and a chopper gunner. The start of the next round comes, and I can't deploy the chopper gunner in the first fifteen seconds. However, I can't deploy the spy plane or the care package until those fifteen seconds are over, because there's no way to cycle through killstreak rewards you've earned. This is especially annoying when you've got a spy plane and something aimable like a mortar strike, but have no way of changing the order of their deployment in order for them to be more effective.

A cosmetic thing: I have mouse 5 bound to the Grenade Launcher/explosive round key, and so this results in the little grid in the bottom right saying "mouse 5 or 5" and breaking its own formatting. Total consolitis.

Anyway, just needed to get that off my chest. If anybody else has anything to rant about, I assure you it's very therapeutic.

Well the slots are your reward for prestiging, so I'm cool with only having 5 at the beginning.

I know its about stuff that bugs you, but do you know what pisses me off?

Claymores and Nuketown. Seriously. Claymores are the cheapest **** ever. I mean, could they at least give you a second to jump out of the kill zone? No it goes off instantly and it pisses me off. Either it goes of instantly and damages you, or clicks and waits one second, then kills you. The only OP thing in this whoel game is bloody claymores.

Oh and then Nuketown. It is now my #1 major complaint to not only the CoD community, but (I can't believe I'm saying this) dedicated servers! Seriously, at least with matchmaking, I was assured it would be on a rotation, so even if I didn't like the map, I knew the next map would be something different. "But MPFive my miserable chum" you say "There's other servers that AREN'T 24/7 Nuketown" Yea, either empty or full. I usually see 10 full or near full Nuketown servers and 2 servers with rotations that are full. The rest are all bloody empty! I ain't sitting on a server waiting to play a game. *sigh* But I guess it is what you mkae of it.

My main little annoyance is that when you prestige, the custom class slots that you unlock overwrite the default classes. For example, i had just prestiged to prestige 5 and i was using the default mp5 class in SnD, i had won a round and then been promoted to level 4 (or whatever level you need to be to unlock cteate a class) and then suddenly i can't use steady aim on my class, whats more is i don't have enough cod points to buy it, this is one thing that infinity ward got right with their prestiging, you got new create a class slots, not just overwrite the default ones.

YES. I hate that. Also the fact that the default tactical grenade is a smoke grenade. The grenade so **** lame they called it a Wily Pete. Not only is it the least useful tactical grenade, you only get one of them. Tactical mask as the standard 3rd perk slot as well is really annoying, considering how rare nova gas is and how long it takes to kill you anyway.

SO TRUE. Trying to get Nova Gas kills for Tac Mask Pro is FREAKING HARD because of this. But I do it every prestige because (imo) is the most useful perk 3. Also, knifing is **** and snipers are useless.

When using the FAL your emblem is backwards (mirrored horizontally).

I gave up deliberately trying to get pro versions, will wait until I've stopped prestiging before I go out of my way to get them. Some like the Ghost Pro kill a sentry challenge or the Flak Jacket pro with frag nades are annoying because they're so dependent on enemy behaviour that you can't control. Good way to get nova gas kills would be to throw it at someone in second chance, methinks.

nuketown demolition. everyone throws nades. just wait at the bomb sites and they normally roll in. Generally only takes me about 3 games to get all 5.

The problem is, you have to kill enemy's who are damaged by nova gas. If the gas kills them it dosent count towards the challenge. Really retarded....

Nuketown.

I'm happy to play any game mode, HC or not, as long as it has a rotation. So I just have my filter to not empty/not full, and sort. The amount of Nuketown only servers in that list is disturbing. I have to constantly check if they are nuketown or not.

Yes, In my opinion, Claymores are over powered in this game.

I dunno, flak jacket/hacker makes them pretty useless except as a warning device.

True, but in previous COD's you didn't need Sitrep to evade them. You would see it and quickly back off which usually resulted in you avoiding death. In this game every time I run into a claymore it's like a 3-4 meter blast radius. Way too big.

Biggest pet hate about this game was the fact snipers just aren't worth taking. The so called big levels are way to small for some decent sniper action. Hell I'm one for close combat sniping its all I did in COD4 but this is just ridiculous.

Also wtf is with he spawn points? I really wish they would get off their assess and think about spawn points.
