So I never got into COD4 on PC. I played the single a bit, and played multi for a little bit on a friend's comp but never really caught the bug.
So I end up renting it for my PS3, figure I'd like to really go through the epic single player campaign and goof off a bit in multiplayer. Being new in multiplayer sucks so much ass it's not even funny. I'm currently level 3 and I want to shoot my PS3, not that it would actually do any damage because apparently everything I have sucks. The kill cam pisses me off to no end because I can watch a replay of how I walk up behind a guy, shoot him at nearly point blank range with my shotgun and then he turns around shoots me in the knee once with what I assume is the kind of gun jesus will use when he returns and joins the NRA, and then I die. Or how I lay into some one with whatever assault rifle a newb gets and then he runs up to me, knifes me and I die. And I know I'm hitting them, the kill cam confirms it. I'm just not alowed to kill anyone. Not for at least ten more levels. I did get a few kills using this heavy gunmen guy with the giant machine gun, and I got lucky with a couple of hail mary grenade throws, but for the most part it's just a perpetual cycle of either me getting insta killed by unknown forces, or I see somebody and make the mistake of attacking them, and then my head asplodes from a vicious knee wound. This doesn't seem very skill based at all, I just need to grind levels until I achieve pwnage.
Unfortunately the RPG like growth system forces me to play. Anything that's online and has an RPG element should be made illegal by the government for it's addictive and deadly properties. Even though it's driving me nuts and I hate this with a passion, I still am compelled to play it so I can unlock some new weapons, classes, and play modes. My next 5 days are shot. Hopefully I can start shooting noobs in the knee soon and having fun.
You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.
