COD gamers out there, which is your favourite Call of Duty game? Do you prefer one Live and another with normal gameplay?
I have 3, 4 & 5 on Xbox 360, and played 4 & 5 on Xbox Live today for the first time. I find 4 a lot easier both during normal play and on Live.

CoD4 is undisputedly the biggest of the lot, and online it is very good, far, far better than 5. CoD5 was meant to be more of a cash cow type game, you can tell it was made rather on the cheap, and not a lot of testing was done on it, as it is full of minor bugs that considering I've worked on games development in the past, any team should have been able to find with a few hours of thorough testing.
That said, CoD3 is by far the favourite for me, it was just the default classes you see at the top online, the germans had one set of guns, the allies another. Treyarch are better at designing maps than infinity ward in my opinion, and it shows on CoD3; when that was the major title and had everything thrown behind it, as IW will do from now on with their version of CoD, it was easily a game you could pick up and play for hours without realising.
I still remember one day when I was at college, came in and put the xbox on the next time I looked at the clock it was 1am and had to finish off coursework that night as well so was gutted, but cod4 has never been like that for me.
It was better as well because there was the more easily accessible unranked games for those who weren't very good, and then the ranked matches for those who thought they were good enough to do it, and it basically sorted the idiots from the decent people on there. I'm sure no doubt tonight you'll be on and just hear an american start shouting random abuse at the colour of the sky or something.

I'm not that great at the death match things, usually getting 1-4 kills and getting killed 10-20 times myself; but I love it. I'm geting better at it, but it sometimes get a bit fast for my little brain and four eyes to keep up!
I know what you mean about the Americans and abuse, I was rather taken aback by it all to be honest. I'm not that serious or competetive a person (apart from things that matter, like football), so can't understand why people would get so wound up.

I'm not that serious or competetive a person (apart from things that matter, like football), so can't understand why people would get so wound up. I'm getting back into it but sadly I can't get used to calm play. For example, I see an enemy, do I try get closer for a head shot or an easier kill? No, I am shitting it and trying to kill him with an MP5 from 30 yards away, and I can't do that slow fire thing where the backfire from the gun doesnt effect the gun, my guns all over the fucking place and I get killed! Getting better at it though

Just use an M16 with a red dot sight, its easy and effective lol. The MP5 has terrible accuracy at close range without steady aim, from further afield its god-awful, only maps I use it on are vacant, shipment and killhouse because otherwise you'll spend more time shooting anywhere but at them lol.
I get wound up by the game to no end, but mainly due to connections, starts bugging me when its an american with a crap connection and you're shooting someone in the chest and then he appears behind you and kills you, and then according to his kill cam hes been behind you for the last 5 minutes or so.

If your on about cod 4, the best gun by far is an RPD, it has more bullets and easier accuracy for somoene who is new.
On COD 5 the best one to use is an STG with telescopic site

Just tried the M4 Carbine with the hip accuracy perk and what an improvement! I'm fucking people up close and long range! Still pretty shit on sniper maps though but its an improvement

Won't be long till modded controllers are all over the next COD, cheating fucking wankers they are.

Sorry to sound naive, but what are modded controllers and would do they do?

They allow you to fire pistols and the like like a freaking machine gun very annoying and sometimes people do report you for it dunno how it works though

Basically they are set up to have a 'rapid fire' button which simulates the shoot button about 30 times a second. This means that people use single fire guns (which are more powerful) but in the game they shoot as fast, if not faster than a fully automatic machine gun with loads of power.
Cod 4 is more fun to play online, I can see why some people DON'T get wound up by it but personally I do...If you're good at it you expect to be consistantly good, if some clown keeps killing you with grenades he's thrown half way across the map whilst spinning in circles; it's frustrating!

There weren't that many mods on the ps3 game. Only came across 1 I think. They'll probably find a way of blocking it in the new one.

Surprised at that Rhodesy, seems the ps3 modded controllers are cheap compared to the 360 ones too. EBAY LINK

Aaah, right I see what you mean now. Back in the day with SNES and/or Mega Drive my mate had a rapid fire controller that he used to use for Street Fighter II for Chun Li's kicks and E-Honda's slaps. Guess it's the same sort fo thing, but on an extreme measure.

Only just seen the Gamer board and thought I should offer my opinion to this topic.
Was into 4 in a massive way (have 13 days playtime and am 7th prestige) and now I play the zombie mode on 5 mostly but do have the odd game on 4.
Infinity Ward (makers of 4) have said during development for Modern Warfare 2 they have introduced something new that should eliminate the use of modded controllers. Even going so far as to say they wont be usable so buying one for Modern Warfare 2 will be pretty useless.
If you want equipment to give you an advantage get some turtle beach headphones (the sound quality is great and you can hear the direction people are coming from. If you turn them up all the way you can hear people reload from accross the map) and one of the new madcatz controllers being released in line with the game. They don't have a rapid fire capability but have a more functional button set up.
Going further back to gun discussions on COD4- the M16, MP5 and AK47 are statistically the best guns in the game but it all comes down to taste and what people prefer.
The M16 only has three shot bursts but those three bullets will normally kill if they all connect, even with someone with the Juggernaut perk.
The MP5 is the best SMG. Kills in two shots with stopping power close up but I don’t like the circular recoil. I like the mini AK myself even though the MP5 is slightly better.
If you are into sniping then use the M40 with an ACOG scope and stopping power. The game has a glitch whereby you kill with one shot to any part of the body with that set up.
I have a really sad amount of knowledge on Call of Duty 4. Sorry.

Just been playing COD4 on free-for-all game, and I got 105 points for killing someone. It said something about completing a challenge and that he was a marked man. What does all this mean? Do you have challenges in every game or something? ??? sorry to sound so clueless! On the plus side, this did mean I got up a ranking

There are a list of Challenges ranging from silly things like falling to your death to gun challenges for getting 150 headshots etc. You can find these when you click 'Barracks' and then 'Challenges' in a game lobby.

COD5 WaW .... should I get it on PC (mines pretty decent) or PS3 ?
I've rented the PS3 and like the game, but can't quite get on with the controls, spent too long playing 1st person shooters on a PC, plus when using the solo player missions, I like to add cheats so I can go on a killing spree, but seems no such option on PS3
or should I just get the new Wolfenstien game ?

I hate listening to all the squeeky voiced kids on COD Live games. That coupled with Americans saying, "Fuck you, Frosty, you fag!" Is there any way to disable the voice function when playing Live? I've looked online, but can't seem to find a decent answer, other than plugging in a headset and putting it the other side of the room. I'm loving playing COD4 free-for-all game on Live at the mo I'm only on Level 9 / Leiutenant or something ??? (as you can tell, I'm down with the kids and know what I'm talking about here!), but I'm enjoying it. Seem to play against better mannered people on there compared to other team games.

I was very disapointed with the new Wolfenstien. You get used to the controls after a while, I grew up playing them on PC, however I now play them on console partly due to the riduculous price of decent PC Graphics cards and also because its so much easier to buy and play games for consoles, I'd say it's 95% the same fun however nothin beats a steady mouse aim wondershot. On another note I'm quite excited to see that they are releasing the original Call of Duty on Xbox Live Arcarde soon!!

I think you can disable voice on the system settings somewhere. Get yourself on Search and Destroy or Headquarters if you want to earn more points quickly....

Yeah, saw on an xbox forum that if you go onto their profile you can mute them. I would prefer to disable the voice option altogether though really. Bit of a pain having to go into each annoying person each game I play. I may have to check out the Search and Destroy or Headquarters, Peters Pipe cheers for that. I'm up to 20 now on my rankings, so got a few more weapons and stuff. Loving the Martyrdom perk, got a few kills with that recently.
