Re: COD4 beta impressions

Question. Do you think shooting through walls ruins the balance at all? I haven't played it myself, but my friend told me about this and I'm VERY skeptical.

Re: COD4 beta impressions

Well it IS beta, so they can fix that.

Re: COD4 beta impressions

I am looking forward to playing it when it comes out.

No, no. It's there on purpose. It's a class perk.

Eh, stops people taking the same spots. Tho I play light assualt and my custom class would reflect that, so I'd just have somewhere new to run to. As long as it's a cooldown and they can't just, with enough time, make the map completely flat. XD

Re: COD4 beta impressions

Well I heard it only works with some walls. I mean, it just sounds a lot better than say, being able to fire a few shots after falling down.

Re: COD4 beta impressions

So, what is a PERK? Heard of it before..

Re: COD4 beta impressions

The wall shooting isn't really a problem since the damage is reduced and it only works on weak walls like plaster or wood. And it's not like you can just go to one side of a map and unload on a house and kill everyone inside. Plus it just makes sense, why would a wooden fence stop bullets? I don't think I've been killed through a wall yet. By the way, it's not a class perk. It's dependant on your gun and the wall in question only.

Perks are bonuses that your character gets. Things like increased health/ accuracy, or not appearing on the map. You can choose three when you create a class. The most entertaining one so far lets you pull out your pistol as you're dying, giving you the chance to fire off a few shots before death. It's satisfying to get killed by someone only to take them out too with your dying breath.

Re: COD4 beta impressions

Yeah, that's the Last Stand perk I believe.

A few other new features or perks are:

Dead Silence: Sneaking ability quiets your step giving you the chance to silently kill your opponent.

Double Tap:

Sleight of Hand: Similar to the Gears of War reloading; quickens you reloading speed.

Ghillie suits for snipers, I can't wait for this. I hope the player realistically blends into the near by foliage.

From this video it looks like Deep Impact, shooting through walls, might be a perk in multiplayer, but that might be wrong.
