Xbox360 Patch is out!

Earth Shattering News: Call of Duty 4 Patch Is Up - Xbox 360 & Xbox Forums (http://forum.teamxbox.com/showthread.php?t=570474)

New Kill Cams:

We’ve added new Kill Cams for everything. So now those “WTF!” grenades that seemingly come from no where, you can see that a guy threw it over the house, it hit a tree branch, bounced off a rock, into a tiny window, where you happened to be pointing out of, and say…… whoa. Follow behind RPGs and M203’s kill cams, claymores, Airstrikes where you can follow the bomb from the plane until it hits you.

Host Migration:

Now you won’t have to be dropped back by yourself when a host leaves. Instead, everyone will stay together, a new host will be assigned, and the game will auto-start back up. Keeping everyone together, no more re-inviting, re-joining games because some host leaves. This has been a tall order and something that we’ve put a lot of work into which has allowed us to really optimize online play all around not just specifically with Host migration.

Improved Sniper / ACOG Accuracy:

Sniper and ACOG scopes have been tweaked and are really improved. I use to not snipe at all (mainly because I’m a horrible sniper), but now it’s so much more fluid and natural, while still having the same difficulty to use, it has no more “WTF I know I hit that guy!” moments.

Upgraded Spectator Cam:

Now when you’re in spectator mode you can follow them in 3rd person, switch to their first person view, or rotate the camera in a full 360 degrees around whoever you’re watching.

Quick Mute Option

Users will now be able to quick mute players on the fly by pulling up the scoreboard in-game or via the lobby by simply going to their name and hitting the mute assigned button. As quickly as calling in and designating an airstike. So no longer getting killed while trying to make your way through the Xbox blades for the mute option so you can shut up the guy who always seems to find it funny to sing into his mic or cover up for his lack of skill by telling you how to play Domination his way.

you better not be fucking with me :)

ill fucking kill you for realz if this is fake

after i get back from cleaning up my gramma's house and taking down wallpaper im gonna fucking get on and wreck someone

its a shame i went prestige and have to do sniper shit again. oh well only 40 or so to go with m40. i want to test out the acog

its true. might start playing again now

maybe it's because i've adjusted to the inaccuracy and the leading, but the acog doesn't seem much different :shrug:

aww.... so no more hitting the y button that says chase when everyone on your team is dead, and nothing happening... sad

asdasdas

Well they have some pretty cool changes in. I like the new spectator mode, and the kill cams are a cool addition. Haven't got to try ground war yet, but hopefully the connection issues are better.

Haven't had a chance to try out acogs so I won't comment on them. I did notice that I wasn't getting the best connection, but I only got to play 3 maps so it might have been bad luck. There has been all kinds of speculation on the Cod forums, but I think I'll wait until someone from IW says something.

p.s. - The quick mute option is cool, but a is now your mute button so it's pretty easy to mute people without even thinking about it. At least there is a big icon next to them showing you they are muted.

I Love the snipers. just had 45 headshots with the M40. I noticed that the M16 is still good if not better (I know they didn't touch it, but it seems to register the hits better.)

Please tell me they added the extra spawn points. I still cant believe it took this long for this lame host migration. I thought they might surprise us with an in game one, but still this same worthless piece of shit.

So for, T must say that every weapon is now overpowered! smgs can now shoot across the map worst of all silenced. All they did was increase the hit boxes!

i don't know what they did, either the hitboxes are bigger or they're interpolated behind the actual model

whatever they did, even if the acog is fixed, it renders it null

Sigh I was hoping they wouldn't fuck anything up, but I guess that was too much to ask.

it seems like the recoil on the 44 is smaller though

Good I need to do my headshots with that gun in the next week or so. I was looking on the COD forums and saw some shit mentioned about new spawns with domination. I would figure if they added spawns for domination they will for the other gametypes as well.

im about to hop on now and go sniper crazy see how it is.

as for SMG's, ive never had a problem shooting across the map with them.. but then again I use them all the friggin time.

this game is a horrible piece of shit now

I don't know I can't comment. I can comment on one thing. Ive played 2 maps.. both maps were against the same team blitz jacob and low I played against.

The problem in that situation was we were playing a domination team, who camped us in and were all 6 partied together. When you guys quit and went I went to the next round all 6 were on the same team and did the same exact thing next round. I say they are a team because they all had spots picked out, were backing each other up.

You guys complaining about the patch prolly played more then I have so far so I can't really say anything other then I really see no huge change from my end. /shrug Acogs still feel broken, SMG's arent firing across the map for me, but I will say the Mp44 fucking rules now. Probably the only gun ill use.

The M16 seems like its not as powerful, taking 3-4 bursts with stopping power, but I might have been lagging. I won't hold judgement until I play with the same people ive played with everynight and play against / in a game mode im used to playing like HQ.

Supposedly the reason a lot of the games are lagging and taking a while to load is that none of the information thats been built up on the 360 is still there. Basically the cache got wiped when they released the patch so it should take a few days for host information to be gathered and put into effect. There was also a post about the loading of maps being cached on your system to cut down on load times. Apparently even if you've loaded all the maps after the patch those that haven't will still hold the games up. Granted all this isn't bullshit, you should be seeing better connections and load times in a few days.

At first I hated the new patch, but after a few good maps and figuring it out a bit I like it.

The new kill cam is badass.
