I was looking for all the mods and custom maps in CoD4, could hardly find a server running a noticible mod. People have this thing with ranks and levelupatitis. After you spend 132453153 hours unlocking all the usually shitty guns and you get the good perks for the not-so-shitty guns, you really don't want to go through it again. Same thing with World at War, the ranking system pretty much took away a lot of servers unique style. They all became almost the same. The grenade spam in World at War is simply stupid in the Single Player mode. I hide behind something for 5 seconds and there are so many grenades, I can't throw them back fast enough. The Multiplayer is just a laugh, can't see someone? Shoot your little hand gun through a foot of concrete for the kill! Tanks, a lot of people complain about tanks, they weren't a huge deal in CoDUO because of the amount of easy accessable rockets laying on the ground. Now with this "perk" stuff, it's just a laugh to be in a tank since 1/15 people on a server get a rocket perk, or the anti-tank-grenade that really doesn't do much as far as killing people... yet kills tanks, mkay. In a 8vs8 server or bigger you can bet your ass that there will be Arty and dogs up at any given time.

So, anyone creating a mod or something that will make World at War suck less ass? Getting 6 kills in a row to get Arty is cake, they made that way to flicking easy. No heavy breathing after sprinting I guess. No bullet travel, which made me laugh. Bullshit spawn points in every map. The maps are bigger than 2 and 4, but the play zone is still small. A lot of the buildings are so far out of the way and you can see so little that no one goes there anyways, it's just there to look cool.

Mabye it's not a mod that will fix this bullshit retarded game, but mabye a server without that recon, arty, dogs crap? Possibly no vehicles, or give rockets on the map instead of me wasting a perk? Idk, this is my rant but I am honestly trying to enjoy this game. At this rate, i won't be buying the next one.

idk... i love this game... WAAAYY better than cod4, cod4 is a real pos. - all spray, too frantic, it was total crap

BUT yes... the lack of custom servers is just terrible....
it was almost impossible to play a stock server in cod2, and thats how it should always be imo ..

stock games = CRAP
modded games = uber sweet coolness x100 :D :D

lame to always play the same thing, fun to keep trying out ppls creations
just my 2 cents

I completely agree man. People who play COD 4 want to be on a ranked server for God knows what reason and will not play on a modded server. My clan has a modded server with a rank system where you can obtain your perks and what not, but players refuse to play on it. Even has some sweet custom maps on it.

As for WaW, Spawns area little better (well they move around faster) IMO. But are far from perfect. Treyarch is making me wonder if they are going to fix the mod tools so we can add FX and other custom stuff. Hell we did it in COD 4 why not WaW? I believe they wanted us to Mod the Zombies rather than the MP, which is all fine and dandy but, Zombies gets boring after a few hundred times doing the same thing over and over again.

Having both legs come off after being shot once by a rifle made me ask the same question? This effect should be related to explosives only or not at all. I also believe there are too many options for Perk 1. Bomb squad should be given to everyone. Primary grenades x2 should not exists as one more grenade does not make it much of a perk. Unlocking another grenade would be suitable at a certain rank in my opinion.

i totally agree with masterchief, at this point i only play on a hardcore server with arty and dogs disabled. soo much better when playing with 20+ people. A server without perks, uav, arty, dogs and with authentic weapon selection should make this game awesome! and on the subject of grenades: why is every faction throwing the pineapple nade used by the americans? and where is the panzerschreck/panzerfaust?
