How to Survive Claymores in Call of Duty 4 2008-05-13 21:06:47 You are sprinting up the stairs in a dark building when suddenly you hear that dreadful “CLICK” of a Claymore being triggered.

Call of Duty 4 Slow Motion Knifing Video 2008-05-11 20:23:37 The next installment of the COD4SOURCE video series isn’t related to strategy at all, but it is really cool. When you knife at normal speed in COD4 you can’t see any of the graphical detail because it goes so fast, if you slow it down though it looks pretty cool. Pay close attention at the [...] Read more:Motion

Stupidest Game Ever: 50 Player Shipment Free For All Video 2008-05-11 14:13:09 I was trying out some different Call of Duty gametypes recently and I think I came across the indisputable stupidest gametype of all time, 50 player Free For All on Shipment. On virtually every single respawn you die within one second, which is cut down to virtually nothing given the heavy lag on the server. [...]

COD4 Noob Bullet Drawing 2008-05-04 20:59:30 Calling someone a noob over Voice Chat or Text Chat in Call of Duty has become a tad cliche. If you have a bit of spare time, some artistic skill and really want to humiliate them try something like the image below.

How to Not Die to the Martyrdom Perk in COD4 2008-05-03 19:44:35 Martyrdom is probably the most hated, and most played Perk for slot three. It is the only perk in Call of Duty that actually rewards getting shot in the face by conjuring a grenade out of thin air. After that grenade falls you have exactly 2.5 seconds before it explodes. So what can we do [...]

Using Snipers As Close Range Weapons in COD4 +Video 2008-04-28 19:55:00 Everyone knows Snipers are good at long range, but how are they in close combat? Are they better than Pistols? At close range bolt action Snipers are obviously bad but the singe shot weapons are surprisingly strong. They have terrible accuracy but being able to spam them crazy fast and only needing to land one [...] Read more:Close

Stopping Power vs. Juggernaut in Call of Duty 4 2008-04-26 19:23:13 The increased damage from Stopping Power and increased health from Juggernaut cancel each other out when each of them is equipped to opposing players. This does not make the perks equal however. Stopping Power provides an offensive benefit while Juggernaut provides a defensive one. This distinction makes the means each perk offers a distinct benefit, [...]
The Problem with Nade Spam in Call of Duty 4 2008-05-14 22:00:15 Today I was playing Call of Duty on a 30ish player server when Wet Work came up as the next map. I dread maps like Wet Work, Ambush and Shipment because Nade Spam is so prevalent and effective. The majority of the kills come from spamming three Nades right after you spawn and than hoping [...] Read more:Problem

Night Vision in Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer 2008-05-20 21:47:33 In Single Player Call of Duty Night
Vision is used frequently because some levels are…well…at night. In Multiplayer
however there no clearcut night maps. There dark maps like Wet Work and dreary maps like Bloc but all the maps are at least on the edge of twilight. So is it worth turning on Night Vision

Using the Word “Gay” in Xbox Live Gamertags 2008-05-23 20:33:35 This isn’t related to Call of Duty 4 Strategy in any way, but it’s still important. Recently there was quite a bit of internet buzz regarding Microsoft’s decision to force two users with the word gay in their name to change their Xbox

How to Get Headshots in Call of Duty 4 2008-05-27 21:36:59 Getting headshots is part of the long arduous journey to red tiger camo and Call of Duty 4 leetness. Unfortunately headshots are also time consuming and difficult to achieve. One not so ethical/leet way to do this is to join servers specifically set up for players to exchange mutual headshots. This obviously isn’t recommended, not [...]

That balance hasn’t been upset because the average gamer [...] Read more:Quick
