    Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

    Game » consists of 23 releases. Released Nov 05, 2007

    The fourth main Call of Duty game ditches the World War II setting of the past games to tell a story set in contemporary times, and backs it up with a breakthrough multiplayer mode.

    Why so many noobs in COD4?

    Not complaining or anything but is anyone tired of campers? I see them with a 20-30 kill streak and only have less than 5 deaths. I even see 10th level 55 prestiges doing it. This happens on almost every game I go to and am forced to use the newb tube or even camp myself. Anyone annoyed by this?

    They find a way that makes them "better" than other people and they stick with it. Pretty much the basis to most games.

    Have you ever played a FPS before? If they're so noob then just kill them, after all, they are noobs.


    Don't be a noob. Just because your being stupid and careless doesn't mean everyone else is a noob because they did something that beat you.

    The only good thing about martyrdom.. It stops campers. Seriously, it's so awesome to hear their little 12 old voice boxs screaming in terror as the run away from my dropped grenade.

    Yeah, I guess I'm a noob for getting most of the kills in my team and actually going around instead of camping ten straight min. Yeeaaaahhhhh..

    First of all, the word noob appears far too many times on this page.  That word wasn't funny or insulting two decades ago, and it just makes you sound like a moron.  I really wish "leet" speak would've died with the BBS's.

    Secondly campers are annoying, but that doesn't mean they suck at the game.  It just means they suck at life in general and can only derive satisfaction from the misery of others.  See schadenfreude.

    Class dismissed.

    Good people at COD4 play tactively.  When I play on HQ I don't just throw myself at the HQ, I place myself so that I can pick off guys heading to the HQ.  Camping...not really.  If you camp in COD4 you are destined to fail.

    Camping is a legit strategy, but it's lame when people just run for a specific spot as soon as a map starts and stay there the whole game as if they're afraid of dying in a video game.

    That said, a lot of times people cause their own frustration when it comes to campers by being stubborn and running into the same trap time and time again. When I figure out that someone's camping in a certain spot, I either do what I can to clear them out or I just don't go there anymore. Have fun sitting by yourself the whole match.

    Well thats what happens when people who mainly play Halo go to Cod4,you can't play the game the same,so they just figure"i'll go hide in a corner and get the dumbest kills possibly making it look like i'm good" reguardless though,its just a game,and you can adjust to people camping. Just gotta keep your eyes open,many run to the same spots over and over again,and many move to a few different key locations,surround sound ftw.

    camping is an effective way to play this game.

    If your not camping your a noob. Or your good.

    There are alot of actual noobs playing this game though due to its popularity. Which is good because it means you actually have a chance to get some kills.

    If you want to feel better about the game, play some cs for a while.

    because the only way to become not a n00b is to start off as a n00b and practice playing a game. Unless you are th3 0wnerer from pure pwnage. Everyone starts out as a n00b

    Camping is fine in certain modes such as Search and Destroy but modes like Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch it really sucks and just isn't fun.  Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch are all about running around shooting everything that moves (apart from your team mates of course) not camping.

    Dude it's all because of everybody  at the beginning of the year who played Halo 3, got Call Of Duty 4 for Christmas. They took their stupid Halo 3 tactics and ruined in the online COD4. I got sick of it and said "fuck it. I'm not dealing with this shit."

    sounds like some of you have a sad case of owned.

    do you want everyone to run around in plain sight of you with a target painted to their back?

    when you tire of the mechanics of shooting straight youve got to play the game on some sneakier more tactical levels.

    There's quite a big difference between being sneaky, playing tactically and camping in one place for the whole match. I don't know how COD4 plays online now, but back in January, I had to put up with all of the Halo 3 players.

    There are noobs in every game.

    And you can't tell people how to play.  If they camp, they camp.  Deal with it, get around it, kill him yourself.

    If noobs weren't around you wouldn't be elite/1337 or whatever.   lol jk.

    Camping is legit, it may not be fun for the people on the opposing team, but for the people doing it; it is.  Try and beat the campers by working with your team and coming up with a tactic to take them down instead of trying to run in and slaughtered.  You're only letting them rank up their kills then.

    I actually haven't seen absurd amounts of camping in CoD4. Even when it does happen I never found it to ruin the game. Many times it's easy to flank a camper, and if they are camping out in an area with only one entrance it's usually not a focal part of the battle and easy to avoid. Filiwian, you said you are "getting most of the kills" on your team when you play (nicely done), so obvious it can't be hurting you too bad.

    The game is made for camping basically. You'll just die if you run out into the open. Making the enemies come to you is better and will give you a better K/D ratio.

    I still don't understand why people get upset over campers and certain perks like mary or juggernaut

    the perks are part the game, i never have a problem going up against those perks and i never have problem with campers, camping is strategic, you will never find a pro team that doesnt camp, why? because its strategic, maybe they aren't the noobs maybe YOU are? because honestly i never have problems with campers due to UAV and my stopping power fizzles the jugger perk and sprint stops mary

    It's propably because you're playing regular TD. Try playing Hardcore and you'll see what I mean. I have no problems with the perks but with the people who simply ruin the game by camping.

    I don't see what's wrong with camping, it's a perfectly acceptable strategy. Besides, once a guy who's camping kills you, it's easy to tell where they are.

    What are you talking about. If people are camping deal with them by killing them. I have never played in a map where i couldnt seem to kill a camper.

    And i dont believe you are talking about campers rather than people who are actually playing tactically. Do you want people to run out in plain sight the whole time.

    In TDM you and your team shouldnt just be running around looking for kills. You should be slowly moving about. Guarding entrances. Using the radar tactically. And most of all stop complainging about others. And calling a grenade launcher a noob tube is retarded. I see people getting 4 kills with it on ambush just firing it from the start. It is a very useful weapon if you know where to fire it. So stop being a dick about it
