What's with the CoD4 hate? The game is amazing on both systems no matter what resolution it's rendered at. I think it's one of the better looking games out there, not to mention it runs at a constant 60 fps. Maybe I'm just not as demanding, but I think it's awesome. I think a lot of people (and reviewers judging by the scores) would agree.

I honestly dont have that much a problem playing the game and shooting from the hip. Sinha is right about that, its a bitch and a half to shoot from the hip, its hardly accurate. I have some experience in this being a former Marine, and you never really shoot from the hip. Even if your doing room clearing with an M16, and not looking down the sights (as the rifle is too long to do that, and takes too much time to zero onto a target that pops around the corner) we shortstock the rifle, placing the actual butt over the shoulder and general aiming by looking down the side of the rifle. But once again, this isnt shooting from the hip.

@Outlawauron
What makes a SMG an accurate shot when spraying is the buttstock on the SMG. Why? because it absorbs the recoil and reduces the amount of motion the SMG makes. Hence an full version rifle will have less recoil compared to one that has a foldable buttstock. If your shooting from the hip, wheres that recoil supposed to go? Hence, shooting from the hip with a SMG from the hip is probably even less accurate then shooting with a pistol from the hip.

Me and my friends also had the LAN problem with the 360. That pissed all of us off so we just played Halo 2 all night long with system link as usual.

 Yeah, but thank God we're not controlling sinha in COD4, we're controlling trained super-soldiers...so yeah, there should be at least some accuracy.

I'm somewhat surprised that no one has commented on Time Crisis or Pain :P.

Oh, and no, havn't shot, know that you use sights to be accurate, but I'm still going with the gun still fires where you point, sights just tell you where that is.

Who knew Iraqi Republican Guard types were "trained super-soldiers"... certainly Walter Sobchak would disagree. As for controlling me, you could probably do a lot worse since I shoot about once a week.

"so yeah, there should be at least some accuracy."  And THERE IS, simply hold down the left trigger and the elite supersoldier you're using will AIM.

And hey, ignore the guy two posts above you who says "Sinha is right about that, its a bitch and a half to shoot from the hip, its hardly accurate. I have some experience in this being a former Marine, and you never really shoot from the hip."

that is the only good part :(

OK, some more realism, you wouldn't dare shoot from the hip in a fire fight, if i'd caught one of my guys doing that, even in training, i would have busted him so hard - being a former British Army infantry officer, i've seen a lot of stupid things, but shooting from the hip wouldn't be acceptable. The British Army (as well as our allies) demand high standards of prefessionalism, that includes firing down an AIMED rifle.

In a fire fight, with friendly forces all around and enemy firing back, you will only have the opportunity to fire a few well aimed shots without shooting either one of your own or being shot by someone else, you have to make sure those shots count. in fact, the SA80 standard issue assult rifle the UK forces use is partly designed to require the weapon to be placed in the shoulder when firing, you try firing that thing from the hip and you'd be lucky to hit a barn from the inside.

The fact this game forces you to aim i think is really realistic. in fact i think the whole game is particularly realistic. i've never worked with the SAS, but the US Marine missions are about as frantic and chaotic as it really is.
