COD4 patch ruins the experience

Geekpulp writes about the issues newly caused by the recent patch for people in NZ and Australia: "The call of duty 4 patch has been out for a week now on the Xbox 360 and after the brief excitement of some relatively small changes, I am left wondering what ever happened to that once great game"

Still a trainee, but agree all the way.

Perhaps I'm the only gamer out there who hasn't noticed the slightest difference in connection quality at all? Plus, the grenade killcam is just too cool.

DARK WITNESS5894d ago

looking at what was added, compared to what has now been taken away, it was not worth it.

i am happy it came out because if it had not, i would have happily continued playing it and never bother with another game.

now, i just can't wait for vegas and gta....i will quite happily throw cod4 out the first chance i get now.

great game + patch = laggy not so great game.

DRUDOG5894d ago

I haven't been on CoD4 for a few weeks now and wasn't sure if this patch has hit for the PS3. Is this patch ruining the experience for all consoles? Or just the 360? I also assume that you're forced to patch the game to get online? Don't know any game that gives you the option like firmware updates.

Adamalicious5894d ago

It's not out for the PS3 yet.

DRUDOG5893d ago

Thanks, Adam. I didn't think it was out for PS3 yet, but wasn't sure. I hope that patch doesn't fack up the great online play. I rarely had any problems with lag with CoD4.

Havince5894d ago

absolutly ruined the game for me in fairness. more lag and more times when slight glitches means you shoot some1 they warp a bit and kill you

DARK WITNESS5894d ago (Edited 5894d ago )

lets just hope that infinityward do bring out a fix and pray to the gaming gods that the fix does not break it further but rather fix it.

Nevers5894d ago

i'm tired of unloading on a guy while his back is totally turned only for them to somehow twist around, warp 2-3 ft, then shoot me dead. Kill cam showing me he never had his back turned. Lag in such a deadly game really really really sux.

Nevers5894d ago

I'm done... I just can't take this anymore. When I read that they fixed this sh!t, I'll play CoD4 again. But it's too frustrating seeing one thing while alive and then seeing something totally different in your killer's cam. I'm constantly a 1/2 second behind everybody, which totally ruins everything.

RecSpec5894d ago

People have been whining and complaining for a long time hoping this mythical patch would be the solution to all their problems. And now look what happened.

DARK WITNESS5894d ago

thats the scary part....

to be honest though, i never had a problem with the way it was before the patch. the only thing they need to sort was the host ending the game just to get an easy win.

if you ask me personally, i don't even want a new patch, just undo the new one ( if thats possible ).

to the guy below..

it is funny that people complain when they loose, and still complain when they win, but if you were refereing to my complaints, well my kill death has just been going up steadily.

i am not saying i am the best, or in the top 100 or anything, but i can hold my corner well. my ratio is above 2.00. if you play on live then you are welcome to send me a friend request and we can get a few games going :-)

Why MW 2019 is still the best looking Call of Duty to date

MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.

MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.

That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.

I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.

I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired

P_Bomb285d ago

Love me some Scarface! I even bought the comics. Yeah, licensing would probably be an impasse.

4Sh0w285d ago

hmmm, coincidence? Either way this is a good sign for gamers after the ABK deal.

porkChop285d ago

I played through Scarface again last year and it still holds up. Such a fun game. I would love for Xbox to get the rights back to remaster Scarface and make a sequel. It sold well and they had plans for Scarface 2, 3, and 4. With how long it takes Rockstar to make games the market is wide open.

TheColbertinator285d ago

That game was so much fun. Expected a cheap GTA clone but it was a good drug empire building game.

shinoff2183285d ago

They didn't just have plans but there's actual gameplay out there for scarface 2

neutralgamer1992285d ago

Seriously man we need games like

True crime
Sleeping dogs
Watch dogs( more like original not legion)
And proper saints row

GTA can’t be the only option we need other games

P_Bomb285d ago

@neutral
Gun was Activision as well. Nice open world Wild West there imo.

neutralgamer1992283d ago

Gun is such a underrated game

None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?

Rutaprkl285d ago

Older cods like Mw, Mw2 and WaW were way better than Call of Dutys nowadays

GoodGuy09284d ago

Make activision remaster mw2 (2009) multiplayer please xbox.
