COD4 5v5 Gametypes?

[KONSPIRACY]

Just some feedback from the community as we look set to start our COD4 tournaments within the next few weeks. The results from this poll wont necessarily affect rules for XL LAN events...

Basically what gametypes would you like to see included in our online COD4 5v5 tournaments? Dont worry about rules or settings for now...we just need to know the most popular gametypes you would like to see included.

The first 5v5 will be a selection of a variety of gametypes so please vote in the poll which allows you to select more than one gametype (please note: we will be introducing tournaments for dedicated playlists in due course).

Please vote in the poll and post below explaining your choice. :cool:

[HeXBLiTz]

SnD, HQ, Domination and Sabotage for the LAN play SnD if you want just one for this 5v5 online :)

[Infidel]

no s+d!!

[iG HyBrid]

SnD, HQ and Sabotage are the only gametypes that are compatible with competitive gaming.
There is TDM but it is a camp fest and just turns the game into GRAW.
Domination has really stupid spawns, and it usually ends up with a team taking points A & B, then attacking C. But whilst they are attacking, the whole of the other team has spawned behind them. Yawn.

[iG Shot2]

S&D its always been the best gametype on CoD, its what the best players on PC play all the PC tournaments are S&D so its obviously the best choice for xbox too...

[Infidel]

and hq hasnt got stupid spawns? the team that just got the hq and lost it spawns right next to the new one

been playing a bit of sabotage tonight and its starting to grow on me

[Jammy B]

Yeah HQ is worse than Domination, as said above. Should be gametypes like Sabotage, S&D and maybe TDM.

[oaksey]

PC is nothing like xbox, just because people played search and destroy on pc on cod2 does not mean that it should be the main gametype on cod4 on xbox.

I would rather play a gametype like domination where the most skillfull team would win because of the amount of shooting that goes on, SnD is more about tactics than skill, you people are retarded.

[Nuked]

your retarded for wanting to spawn over and just run and gun

[Teddy15]

S & D is the best game type and takes the most skill IMO, Domination is ok, and TDM is campy and games could go on for ever becuase people want to win so bad.

[KONSPIRACY]

If we did TDM it would have a time limit rather than point limit (ie 10 minute game, no point limit).

[Infidel]

but then once ur up 40 points theres absolutely no incentive to attack, just sit back and wait for them to come out in the open = camp fest
it shud be both 750points and 10mins

[KONSPIRACY]

Same for every team slayer gametype for every game if you're gonna say "just sit back and wait for them to come out in the open" once teams take a lead. We know its not true.

[Fonzzie]

Hay man, i still think that S & D is the best way of doing this tourny, as it will test the true skill of a team. But Team deathmatch is still really good.


Thanks Kon

If you do TDM then do it on something really small like Shipment. Im not even kidding.

TDM on this game is horrible, if you get a team (i wont name names) and they choose TDM they simply dont leave the spawn. Its shocking.

S+D and Domination are the best ones in my opinion.

[Teddy15]

i agree tht TDM is stupid, S&D is best

[Infidel]

camping the spawn is really ineffective if your up against a good team, your just waiting around for them which leaves you open to frags etc. when you dont take the initiative you often lose

[iD Rumsey]

i think u should play it as each team takes it in turns to pick map and game type that way all game types are played and everyone gets to choose so theres no *****ing about the rules and gametype etc

[Nuked]

safe to say that its gna be,

TDM
Snd
Domination

No perks
No air support


Lets get the sign ups going:D

[HeXBLiTz]

I love how people say that TDM is CAMPFEST when they like SnD lol

SnD is a camping gametype u defend you get to a area to cover door ways etc and then just sit there waiting.

i agree TDM is far from good on CoD4 seems people are to scared to move coz of how easy you die if you want a good entertaining gametype for CoD4 then you need somethng that forces people to traverse the maps and utalise the whole map not just sit sumwhere and wait for some poor sap to walk past

[UnCaused]

i would say a good gametype could be if it works

Sabotage
3bomb plants
15-20-30mins what ever
spwan 7.5secs

i think having them settings would be the best as it takes team work skill and no camping think best gametype for tounaments 3 bomb plants would be best imo.

[Infidel]

3 bomb plants? i doubt there wud be that many, its hard enough to get one if the teams are fairly balanced in matchmaking and know what theyre doing

[UnCaused]

or HQ i like SnD i think it is the best gametype but i would like to see non stop kill so HQ could be good longer timer to get it and longer spwan off HQ keep the killing going.

[HeXBLiTz]

What abnout HQ in a Crazy King of the Hill style

HQ stays controlled for 30 secounds only and IF possible move it every 30 secounds if its not controlled by anyone with a 10 secound limit to take it?
just a crazy idea

But when your attacking you still have an incentive to attack and move foward. And seeing as the planting points are normally mid map the defending team has to rush the points just to keep the attacking team from reaching them. And changing the rounds so you swap spawn after every round mixes it up. There is still camping but in my mind its the most entertaining game mode as it takes more a little bit of brainpower to pull through.

[KONSPIRACY]

Suggesting HQ as a competitive gametypes is a crazy/stupid idea...for a start the spawns are not balanced for it to be even considered.

[Infidel]

then why is it on the poll if you know ur not gunna use it, although i think ur completely right about not having it ;)

[BsE Weasel]

id say keep TD and domination.

HQ spawns are just messed up like kon said and S&D is a complete camp fest when at this level. you have to remember theyre trying to make the tourney a balance of both skill and teamwork. becuase a team thats better doesnt want to be beaten by camping.

[KONSPIRACY]

S&D naturally promotes camping as a legitimate tactic and it is upto the other team to break this. It is the most competitive gametype that COD4 has to offer.

@ Infidel - I pretty much knew the outcome of this poll before even doing it, and it is only fair to include all options for the community to have their say hence why it was included. Even though it is ultimately my decision what rules are in place, it is also my duty to listen to and evaluate the feedback from the community in order to provide the best possible tournaments for you. :cool:

[Infidel]

@ Infidel - in order to provide the best possible tournaments for you. :cool:

all for me! i feel so special :D

[KONSPIRACY]

You are "special"...dont ever forget it! lol :D :p

[Infidel]

how could i forget? people are telling me all the time, i think so at least, its either that or retarded, im never quite sure.

[Katalyst]

I think I know what it is :P

[BlaqK]

Im agreeing with Firenza :P

[Infidel]

ah firenza my old clan leader and my new co- leader coming in for the easy digs

[Katalyst]

:)

Just like to add that we shall be entering this tournament, despite the fact I haven't had a chance to play CoD4 online yet, and we haven't practiced as a team yet.....we haven't actually even got a team yet...oh dear.
Anyway, we will be there!

[Infidel]

who are you likely lambs then firenza or havent u got a clue? :)

[BlaqK]

Your gonna have to recruit mate seeing as all the past vG plyers are now in RvR, but i hope you get some people vG deserve to do well

[Katalyst]

Lol yeah, we pretty much have a CoD4 team now, I was just messing. We are also in the process of negotiating a rather strong halo 3 team :)

But about the tournament...when is it starting? I wanna play in it, but if it happens early january onwards I can't :(

[EmotionSMz]

I signed up and then.........nothing. No products availible.

[KONSPIRACY]

Thats because they havent been added yet! lol :D

[Infidel]

after playing against dignity on gamebattles today id like to change my vote to search and destroy as they are the biggest bunch of camping *******s i have ever seen at tdm, and it was the most boring pile of **** ive ever played

[BlaqK]

Theres a reason why they are like 8th and we arent lol

To be fair they played very well as a team, they had their tactics and employed them well, individually i thought they were pretty good aswell so you cant moan Dave, we are very under prepared any team at the mo could take us so dont bleat please i sstill think TDM is the dogs!

[Infidel]

video games no matter what level you want to play them competitively at are meant to be fun and sitting there for 10 mins, against a team they probably wouldve beat if theyd played normally anyway, isnt fun in my eyes. i dont see why they have to employ these "tactics" of a fortified tent with mini-kitchen, to win a game when they could just play it properly and actually rely on their skills and have fun. im sure plenty of other teams will employ the same "tactics", its just they have opened my eyes to the major problem with tdm others in this thread have mentioned.

[dean1978]

camping and bad spawns are always going to be a problem, but its the same for every team. If they camp there is nothing stopping you camping. I say play it , learn from it, make it better next time. :)

[BlaqK]

I agree, mate.

And I made sure we learnt from our little bad experience. :D

[dean1978]

i think we have all had bad experiences with camping, it's just how you deal with it that is important.

[OB1theGeordie]

I whole heartedely agree.

If someones camping you sharp get to know about it. Just adjust the way your playing at the time. I've been up against a team who wanted to just roll about and snipe all day.

We snuck into the lead and then just stood of em. They sharp got bored.

Coming up against all different styles people prefer to play makes the game more interesting.

[iD Rumsey]

yeah but if they got the first kill and camped hard and won u would have been p1ssed off.

so u cant say that

[Infidel]

yea if they get the first kill and sit in the back room on vacant which has only two entrances and u cant even get a grenade in there without being shot then ur pretty much ruined.

and rolling about sniping is different from camping one single room, at least you have a chance of killing them. if you can get behind them then its easy kills as close range all they have is a pistol.

[Sostic]

Sabotage and SnD are probably the best gamemodes with the best balance.

The problem with Domination is that its way to easy force spawnkilling, TDM is just camping all the way like your playing rainbow six. If you want the best teams to win I should pick Snd and Sabotage! :)

[caMper ch1ef]

and please no nubtube ;D

[RomaN XVII]

I chose SnD, Domination, Sabotage and TDM.

Search and Destroy firstly.

I think this gametype is probably the most tactical gametype in the game as it does require good teamwork to move the bomb to 1 of 2 bomb plants without dying. I know everyone knows what the gametype is, its just for the sake of Kon and the team. The whole 1 life per round does give it a very edgey appeal and would have people seriously on the edge of there seats.

Domination

Just a more fun gametype to have plus there is a small tactical effort in it. Will just be for good gameplay footage really.

Sabotage.

Would have been a great gametype to have IF the bomb indicator was turned off. Would make the defending teams on there turn use alot more teamwork instead of seeing where the bomb is and charging at it.

TDM

Would have to have this gametype in there. Shows true weapon skills when 1 on 1. Should just keep them on Small - Medium sized maps (Crossfire, Backlot, Strike...).

Well theres my quick view on things.
