Strategy, Skill and Settings

[no-cd]

The 3 S's of success in cod4. *Edited*

This topic is made for everyone too show how they own in cod4 and to help each other become better.

<div align="center">1) My settings
</div>
You think you have no video lag at all???? think again! Resolution i thought was a factor, but apparently i was wrong. The rest of the settings should be accurate.

Max Res (for me 1440x900
AA off
shadows YES (very important to have on, it can save your life!!!)
specular map OFF (makes a difference for me but warning...your gun wont have that pretty shine anymore http://www.flyingright.net/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif
Depth of field NO (not good too have on in my opinion. You crouch in the grass and aim down your sights and cant see shit cuz everything is blurry)
Glow NO (its all right to have it on, but i keep it off so i can see through windows when its really bright outside)
Soften smoke edges NOOOOO (Keep it off, trust me it changes fps dramatically and disnt have a noticible difference)
Ragdoll and bullet impact is fun too have on and dosnt really effect your fps so yes
Model detail Off ( trust me your enemies look better dead than pretty)
Water detail Off ( y would u want to stare at water anyway)

If you are not moving at superhuman speeds than set them lower ^^

<div align="center">2) weapons</div>

Why not to use reddot sight - you aim down your sights faster when it has no attachment (excluding the GL)
Why not to use ACOG scope - you have too rely on hip fire accuracy when in close combat
Why no to use Grenade Launcher - Cuz its noob! (i dont use it cuz i suck with it lol)

Best weapon for long range and short range - AK 47
Best weapon for short range - AK 74 or mini uzi
Best weapon for very long range - Any sniper (Avoid using barret, y? alot of recoil for the same amount of damage as any other sniper)
Best weapon for less recoil - m4 Carbine (reddot is pretty good with this weapon)
<div align="center">3) Other Tips </div>

Change your use key to "V" and your melee to "F". Y? because its easier to press "F" than "V". The only time you need to use your "USE" key is when planting a bomb so its better to have the melee key as "F".

Bunny hop! You dont like bunny hoppers...than get owned lol

Dont camp! You might get a couple of kills but eventually you will be found and killed.

Also Aim low. Especially with an AK since it has a pretty strong recoil.

Thanx Killa, very good tips, especially the depth off helped me a lot, i had it turn ON LOL. Im gettin a new vid card cuz my ati 1600 barely gives me 50-60 fps. http://www.flyingright.net/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

[KAYsniper]

im bona give this a shot

but i wont go down 800X600 a larger res is better you see more, u kill more
i have 8800gts so it wont be a prob

a few of the stuff is true, like water and glow. the others i dont know, so im gona test it out. i remember posting stuff like this on X forum along with some config file edits

and lastly the mini uzi is shit! http://www.flyingright.net/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif the scorpion is way better!

[Plaxerous]

Ha my settings was all on the lowest when I downloaded this game, I tried this game on my friend&#39;s computer (much better vid card) but I was astonished at how annoying the shiny guns, and blur was when you zoomed in. http://www.flyingright.net/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[Eus]

ok this is like WTF, is this how u really play man???????, i play on 1920*1200 everything else on highest setting possible and get from 86 to 127 fps, i have two 8800gts 640, both oc from the factory lol lol lol

i have 8800GTS 640 too but not the oc one, i have all the settings on high, my res is maxed at 1280x1024 getting from 60 - 90 fps

but the dam smoke brings my fps down to 40s http://www.flyingright.net/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif


for me sound is most important when playing, not everyone uses dead silence, but i still can hear u with that when i turn up my headphones, only when u crouch i cant hear u.

wait, why did i just tell u that? shit

[KAYsniper]

see dont put your res down !

and taliban you better ease off the sound or ul be deaf when u hit 40


another thing is not to put the model and texture and world details down if you have a decent card, having them hihg helps spot movement http://www.flyingright.net/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

its not that loud, haha

Tali, thats a good one i forgot too mention. Sound!

Make sure you sound quality in the game settings is on high. Headphones make a huge difference in the game.

Default game settings for sound in my game was medium and it was a huge transition when i went to high.

[Plaxerous]

The only bad drawback about really low settings is that it&#39;s really hard to see people that are camoflauged within the grass. And yes my video card sucks so much that on maps like Pipeline or Downpour, my grafix card still lags on the lowest settings.
Dead Silence is good but sometimes you think that the sound of your own steps are someone elses since it sounds like it&#39;s coming from far away.

correction: best weapon in all situations: golden desert eagle!!!

[Fiery]

Change your melee weapon to right-click, and your aiming down the sights to Z (not toggle)

Trust me, I got used to this method, and I&#39;m pwning since the UO days http://www.flyingright.net/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[Plaxerous]

What&#39;s the point of that button switch? I zoom down the weapon sights way more than I use the knife http://www.flyingright.net/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[no-cd]

yea...wtf z!!!!! fiery u play crzy! Props 2 u for finding ur own method.

[KAYsniper]

melee to right click are u out of ur mind?

i used to have melee on caps
and aim down on Z that just makes things comlicated
I cant even reach the Z button, i guess its cos u got small hands and fingers fiery http://www.flyingright.net/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

mouse scroll up flash/stun bang, scrol down change wep
F or Capslock melee or Use
noobloucher 2/3

[thekiller]

or he has an azerty keyboard and uses e as forward, s as right, f as left and d as backwards like i do
