Sometimes I don't know why I bother. Am I complete masochist?
Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare multiplayer, grrr! That's the best thing I can say at this point in time. It says I've spent just under 2 hours on the multiplayer although it feels much, much longer.
Each round is a dictionary definition of 'futility', constantly being caught out by the other players, not being able to track down said players, being killed as soon as I respawn, finding one victim only to be killed by another player. With each death my mood sinks and I have to kid myself I'm actually enjoying it.
It's fair to say that, like most online shooters probably, coming into something like this so late on is not exactly going to make things easy, in fact it's about the least-accessible online game I've ever played (bar Counterstrike). I had resigned myself to this, yet it doesn't make it any easier.
Just when I think I'm doing okay, making some progress, I'll have a couple of rounds where I don't even score. Every kill I get feels like Christmas: they come once a year, on average.
Should I keep on with it? Will I improve? Will I ever be able to compete? Am I doing it wrong? How are you supposed to find your opposition? These and other questions will have to wait until my mood improves.

I've never touched CoD4's multiplayer. It sounds amazing in theory - the levelling and stuff suggests that you can eventually improve over time - but I'm just too a) sceptical about the whole thing and b) busy with Left 4 Dead...
ReplyDeleteWhy not get straight in there when the sequel arrives for a better chance of surviving? :)
I got my first killstreak on CoD the other night, 3 in a row! ... although two of those were with a grenade (lots of grenade spamming in this game).
ReplyDeleteI've had enough of L4D though, after playing through the various scenarios for the 40th time I just couldn't be bothered.
