Hacking, really worth it?

So I play Call of Duty 4.......a lot, and I really am getting a little sick of the hacking and quite frankly punk buster sucks. On top of the constant message that my legitimate key is in use, it never blocks the haxors.....why?

A note for all haxors, you do know that skills are learned, not given. How about practicing a little more and quit acting like an idiot on the servers...

Oh, and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Update on the COD 4: MW 1.4 Patch

So with the new patch out, which, mind you, was a pain in the @55 to get, I have had soemt ime with it now and must say that the Christmas map is actually kind of disturbing and funny at the same time. Being that I am not much for the holiday and not particulary religious to boot, I thin k that when you have a multi-player map that has Christmas presents and Santa saying his traditional "Ho, Ho, Ho!" during an air-strike is both funny and disturbing.


I will say that is does make for a better map for the following reasons....

1) It takes place at night, a better time to be stealth.

2) It provides snow at the same time and creates a distraction for those that are trying to snipe.

3) Lastly, still has the same feel as the rest of the maps, except shipment, which is just horrible.


Well, there you have it. My take on the map.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Tomorrow is the big day for the release of the newest installment of the action shooter, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The difference with this version is that this is set outside of the WWII genre of first person shooter games. There have been a number of really good reviews, I only hope that that is correct about this game.

**UPDATE**

Having been able to play the game now all of the way through, it was awesome, despite the shortness of the usual long game play typical of the earlier call of duty games.

Some of the great new things in this game that are picked up in more recent present day titles is the use of night vision, which is not as easy to pull off as you might think. The weapons, which there are a number of them are well done in their skins and their sounds. As for the accuracy, as a friend has pointed out to me, is a little too good. When you fire an automatic rifle, you loose a tremendous amount of accuracy and for some reason that accuracy is still held in some of the firearms in this game.

One of my favorite parts of the game is the sniper episodes. They use some of the best newer firearms like the .50 cal Barrett which is a wonder of a rifle. On top of that you get to use some M1A rifles, a hopeful for my future collection. I do enjoy these types of games that allow you to play a little recon, a little support and a some assault.

The downfall of this game is that the ending came too quickly. I really am unsure as to why Activision didn't have a title, like this one, lasting much longer on the campaign modes. I beat the game in a few hours and that was with little effort. If Activision is reading, please understand that all of the bells and whistles are great, but here is the thing, if you do not allow for a longer game time, we move on and do not buy your titles again. Especially of you play games that your putting out like Solider of Fortune: Payback.

Overall Verdict is I would still buy it of I hadnt already. It was fun and I still play the arcade modes.
