Why the abuse and foul language, take the ugly out and just enjoy the game, come together as one instead of making the game frustrating and offensive.

Just the same franchise name. call of duty 4 and world at war are not made by the same people. Just the same franchise name.

I love how you can custom create a class etc, just adds to the game. Also another note: Got to love the satisfaction of leveling up during a MP game!

None the less when I jumped into the game last night there were plenty of level 55s and I pretty much had an equal Kill/Death ratio for my first time playing online, level 55s don't necessarily mean they are good, they might just have lots of time on their hands lol. M16 Although I found it harder to kill with the M16 it does have a grenade launcher attachment which is easy as hell to kill with lol, none the less I did change guns after I worked out "Why my gun is only burst firing" -_- Some of the Maps are Not Beginner Friendly Like I said above, I personally think its just a fact of not knowing the maps, I did get lost a few times but none the less after a few hours I was slowly learning the maps, although it is off putting when you play a new map and everyone knows it :P Map Design The map design is great imo, there are lots of sniping positions, lots of cover, lots of areas for nade lobs and seems like its it has all been laid out with tactics in mind Respawn Algorithm grumble, can be frustrating Kill Streaks Kill streaks are fun, although I never got to the bombing (the highest I got was 5) it just ads a little more to the game. Imo if you want to balance this kills earned from bombing runs/chopper should not contribute to your next kill streak. None the less still fun. I personally have no problem with the bombings, like the poster above said there is a VO and as soon as I hear that I instantly turned and ran for cover (after dieing a few times to it I learnt what to do). None the less a very fun game, bring on MW2!! Just my background, I am a cod4 noob and just started playing the game MP last night, I’ll post my thoughts on your statements:

Like I said above, I personally think its just a fact of not knowing the maps, I did get lost a few times but none the less after a few hours I was slowly learning the maps, although it is off putting when you play a new map and everyone knows it :P

The map design is great imo, there are lots of sniping positions, lots of cover, lots of areas for nade lobs and seems like its it has all been laid out with tactics in mind

Respawn Algorithm

grumble, can be frustrating

Maybe you just suck a the game. Because with all that you said you thing it would not be the top selling shooter. I completly disagree with everything you said. Maybe you just suck a the game.
