Yeah.

I remember the same complaints about not being able to max stuff out when Fry Cry was released - and I wouldn't be surprised if it was the exact same people who were complaining. It was the same with F.E.A.R - that was a system killer on max settings too when it was released; a few months after release the X1900 came out, and that could play it better than anything else at the time. It's a constant cycle.

I've not actually tried playing CoD4 online. I'm not really a great one for online games. :|

Well, I had to play on one monitor, as I think Dopefish's fix gets you kicked on PB servers. It was weird having to play with such a small FOV after using triplehead.

On the ship map: Air strikes, Air support (helicopters) and grenades are the bane of my existence. People get wiped out by them 5 or 6 at a time. The rest of the gameplay is fairly well balanced. The Support weapons - RPD/M60/SAW machine guns are amazing to cut down the enemy, but once you have to reload, better find a safe spot. It takes ages.

/me huggles my M16.

I use Sleight of Hand with my M60 but I think it'd be more efficient if I picked up Stopping Power. For the most part though, I'm not that big a fan of the MGs. Perhaps I just pick the wrong times to use it.

I love the MGs when I have a full belt of ammo. I hate the MGs when I need to change in a new one. :lol:

I actually fin them better for medium range suppression, and up close devastation. For other purposes, a decent assault rifle is preferable. The G36C and the FNP90 are good ones to pick up from the enemy and sharp shoot with.

If I were to buy CoD 4 just for the multiplayer (Let's just say) what are your opinions on it? Would it be worth the money, is the online experience well done, fun, long lasting?

Well you are not going to buy it for the 4-6 hours of single player "goodness" are you?
