Call of Duty 4 Patch "On D Way"




This is great news! I have been complaining about the ACOG scope since release. I was a beta tester for Call od Duty 4 and the ACOG in beta was freaking awesome. The new kill cams should be a nice addition as well. So here is the official word from Infinity Ward:



New Kill Cams We’ve added new Kill Cams for everything. So now those “WTF!”
grenades that seemingly come from no where, you can see that a guy threw it
over
the house, it hit a tree branch, bounced off a rock, into a tiny
window, where
you happened to be pointing out of, and say…… whoa. Follow
behind RPGs and
M203’s kill cams, claymores, Airstrikes where you can follow
the bomb from the
plane until it hits you. Host Migration Now you won’t have
to be dropped back by
yourself when a host leaves. Instead, everyone will
stay together, a new host
will be assigned, and the game will auto-start
back up. Keeping everyone
together, no more re-inviting, re-joining games
because some host leaves. This
has been a tall order and something that
we’ve put a lot of work into which has
allowed us to really optimize online
play all around not just specifically with
Host migration. Improved Sniper /
ACOG Accuracy Sniper and ACOG scopes have been
tweaked and are really
improved. I use to not snipe at all (mainly because I’m a
horrible sniper),
but now it’s so much more fluid and natural, while still
having the same
difficulty to use, it has no more “WTF I know I hit that guy!”
moments.
Upgraded Spectator Cam Now when you’re in spectator mode you can follow
them
in 3rd person, switch to their first person view, or rotate the camera in a
full 360 degrees around whoever you’re watching. Quick Mute Option Users
will
now be able to quick mute players on the fly by pulling up the
scoreboard
in-game or via the lobby by simply going to their name and
hitting the mute
assigned button. As quickly as calling in and designating
an airstike. So no
longer getting killed while trying to make your way
through the Xbox blades for
the mute option so you can shut up the guy who
always seems to find it funny to
sing into his mic or cover up for his lack
of skill by telling you how to play
Domination his way.

Yeah, if they fix the ACOG and the "party connection" issues, I will be happy. When I used the ACOG, I pulled the trigger when a headshot was lined up, but the computer didn't give me the kill. Secondly, when you transition to ACOG from regular view, you lose your aspect of your surroundings for too long. So, I'll be glad when it's fixed, but even so, if it doesn't work realistically, I may just stick to my red dot sight.

Oh yeah, I forgot. If you use the "noob tube", I hope the flea of 1,000 reindeer nests in your genitals.

LOL! I will NOT be using the "noob tube", for fear of the reindeer flea curse.
