1.4 - Acog scope needs it big time
It actually makes you a worse shot. I just opt for the default scope. It allows for more accuracy.

Both versions were the same at launch BUT 360 got some of the fixes in December.

Nonetheless, I've been hearing about this mythical patch since November. So I won't believe it til I see it.

wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong,
Right (I didn't even know the 360 got the patch 2 months ago),
wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

My point was: most of the things on this list have been in Halo 3 since launch. It's nice to see COD4 is catching up.

You cant mute people in every game on the PSN?

2.4 - wow14- Don't sound so shocked
Sony gives the Developers the freedom to pick and choose the PS3 features for each individual game. This approach is a console philosophy counter to Live, where Microsoft automatically back-ends the full feature list of the menu Sony decided to allow developers the choice to utilize XMB chipset resources for other things at the Developer's discretion.

This, it appears, is not what a vocal majority of the PS3 gaming community expects, and may change in 2008 with Developers granting more and more of the XMB features.

There is NO such thing as ZERO Lag. Either Your ISP or someone else's will suck causing some lag. The only thing they can do is minimize it.

Is Sony going to give all the non-rumble controller owners an exchange program?

Are people going to be stuck with all these non-rumble controllers?

Developers arent going to be able to effectively use rumble in a game unless it knows everyone has rumble, otherwise it will kind be tacked-on...

A game like Call of Duty 4 *needs* rumble -- it is such an immediate feedback, how do you know if you're getting shot?

why would it be tacked on? your comment doesnt really have any merit?

I dont mind my other controllers i let the people who cant look after controllers properly to them.

COD DOES need rumble. Its like a god send in uncharted.

I am so so so tired of people playing their music while I'm on PSN. They should ban people for doing that... and then when more than one start to play OMG!

"Downloading Game Settings" bug was due to DemonWares servers having to handle the massive amounts of PlayStation 3 users logging in. With the new optimizations, gamers shouldn't have too many problems with in the future.

"old news"?

The Playstation 3 version of Call of Duty 4 have been waiting to get this patch for many weeks.

It's not old news, its a pushed-back, delayed patch.... PS3 COD4 owners are hurting without these patches.

Just read this forum. "old news"? No.

He is right. We have known that a patch has been coming but we still do not have a date and we have already speculated what the contents would be. I guess its nice to know what to expect for sure, but this isn't shocking news to anyone in the know.

I've been having getting into games for almost 3 weeks. at first, it wasnt too bad, but lately, i can barely get into a game.

Im really angry that the PSN is behaving like this, why dont we have big dedicated servers?

it should be better... I've been very angry at my COD4 lately. Ive been trying to finish Lair in the meantime.

I have been noticing increasing lag in the frame rate. I will noticably dodge shots but still get hit because my system takes a second to catch up. This is especially bad during ground war missions.

Any of you morons who think that all these connection/lag issues are the PS3's fault are living in fuking la-la land.

Every other PS3 game I've played online has been fine and so is my internet browser. Clearly the problem is Infinity Ward.

I gotta go re-new my online service, OH WAIT no I don't.
