Weapons

[Bradley]

Hey all I was just wondering if there's an official weapons list, as I know there's about 30 and the list here shows like 15. So anybody got a link to somewhere that shows a list??

[sike3000]

That's all I've got other than the ones in the beta of course.

[abort]

yeah search youtube a few people have showed most of the weapon lists in videos

[Bradley]

OMG sweet, well my avy is what I'll take without a doubt, the M14 ius also good though, but M16A4 FTW!!!!!

M16A4 > M8

[Bradley]

Sike3000;3606']M16A4 > M8

M16A4+ACOG+Vertical grip+(Silencer?) > all


Seriously, can somebody here think of a better combination (IN COD4) then that???

Anyways, I saw a vid, with a guy using M16A4+Reflew sight, and it wa sooooo sweeeeet. So imagine a vertical grip to reduce recoil and an ACOG for medium/long range, muhhahhaha and silencer so nobody here's you :salute::salute::salute:

[hurricane04343]

You can only have one attachment ;)

The M16 is great, but in CoD4, I find the M4 a lot better.

[Iwantcable]

Yeah 1 attachment blows. I hope they change it.

i think u may have misunderstood, my post, i meant M8 owns M16,

but m16 or m8 aint good in all condtions, some times ill go for a SMG or even a pistol i CQC, u will win a fight most of the time with a smg or pistol againts a guy with a rifle in CQC,

Yes and Yes.

M4 > M16 in CoD4

and the whole 1 attachment thing is stupid seeing how that is nowhere near the case in reall ife. Its kinda stupid, but you know they did it that way to make it more fair.:cry:

[Lt Davis]

Yeah. You should be able to have atleast 3 attachments, maybe more.

Never know...might be either different, or moddable, on PC. :D

[Bradley]

Well yeah but more attachments doesn't make it too fair.

And lol I can see how M4 could be alot better then M16A4, it's just a preferance, because seriously, auto is good, but accuracy is lacked if it isn't in bursts, an look at how controllable the burst M16 is compaired to auto M4, and the onyl down side with m16s is the 0.1 seconds of time between each burst in CQB, but you can compensate that by aiming high, upper body mass will always bring a guy down in 3 shots or maybe 2 .

[Shellshock_1918]

wtf...Mp44??

[Whiskey]

Yep, that info was released back in June. It's a crossover homage to the COD WWII games. Since the MP44 was basically the first (or one of the first) true "assault rifle", it can fit in among the other weapons of COD4:MW.

[Kradath]

So in cod4 the real stg44 is implemented? funny...

[ReaperOfsouls]

I noticed that there were some locks over the weapons, any word on how the unlocking system is going to work?

Is it going to be extremely hard like bf2 or extremely easy like bf2142?

[cantina_fly]

I'm going to lean toward the 2142 side of the fence. Remember v1.0 BF2? It got 10x easier with the first patch, then they added the SF unlocks. 2142 came with a boat load and you could get 20-30 of them without much effort.

I know this isn't BF, but I think IW got the message. The hardcore players will always unlock everything. If you have to be hardcore to do it, then 80% of your potential customers will never see it. And complain a lot because of it too.

As for the OP. You can put together a pretty good list between the beta and searching the web. You're not going to see anything too revolutionary here. They're going to pick different modern weapons and model them. What you should be asking, is how the weapons will handle?

For instance, I've seen lot of people questioning why they picked the AK-47 and not the more modern AK-74 or AK-101. Who cares? Most people will just see the general outline of the gun and say "It's an AK." They expect it to be powerful, fully automatic, and hard to control. How this is reflected in the implementation is more important to me.

You may not realize it, but how many games, do you pick up a gun and it just doesn't seem right. The size is wrong, or the color, the sound. Whatever the cause, it just makes it a gun you don't enjoy using.

This is what I'm more concerned about.

LAME

Its called Modern Warfare for a reason...

Sike3000;3616']i think u may have misunderstood, my post, i meant M8 owns M16...

No offence bro, but he didn't misunderstand. M16A4 > M8 = the M16A4 is greater than the M8. The alligator eats the bigger one. ;)

But I think you're right. Some of these maps look pretty claustrophobic and in that case a CQC weapon would be the better choice. :salute:

[SpekOpz]

1 attachment, really? I mean how does a foregrip and a scope conflict with one another, I can see not being able to have a foregrip and an M203, but not being able to have a scope and a foregrip is just impractical.

[sike3000]

just a thought, any news on FN SCAR?? L or H

[Iwantcable]

Nope. I really wish they'd put those type of guns in the game instead of WWII crap though :(.

[ihavenoname]

Yeah, I thought CoD 4 was supposed to move away from WWII, but we still have some WWII guns.

it's an homage.:salute:

Edit: I'm a turnip; already said.

[GMsniper]

M8 , that plastic piece of junk failed its extreme test and the m16 is still being fielded today , Bradley Oorah brah give me an m16A4 with a eotech hologram sight along with an m203 for a girlfreind to ride shotgun :)

[Lt Davis]

No, it's not dead. I read an article somewhere.

[rowdyman]

So, which weapons will be able to take a silencer, and can you have both your main and sidearm equipped w/ one?

[Iwantcable]

Yes.

You get 1 attachment for your main wep (snipers and shotguns can't have silencers) and one for your sidearm. Unfortunately we can't have a deagle with a sniper scope though :laugh:.

[Bradley]

wtf...Mp44??


OMG I saw that too, gee it's wierd, but I guess those "rebel" guys can't afford newer rifles? Although I do know the STG44 is a great weapon even compared to AK, since Ak was based on it.

i know, i typod, i meant M16A4 < M8

R6: raven sheild, the ak 74 is orange and the ak 47 is grey wtf. lol

Ak is not based on it, they have completely different inside mechanisms

[rowdyman]

Yes.

I figured as much about the shotgun, but too bad about the sniper rifle though (guess it's for balance). It would make sense to me if only if only the SMG's and pistols had a silencer instead of the assault rifles; seams a bit too much to be running around with an AK with a silencer.

Sounds like a nice load-out for MP would be Dead Silence w/ both weapons equipped w/ silencers.

Sike3000;5329']i know, i typod, i meant M16A4 < M8

I assumed as much, I was just messing around. That's why I put the " ;) " in there. I mean really, how many time does one get to use the alligator analogy in adult conversation?
:salute:

yeah i supose lol

Yes it was, russia wanted an assault rifle, so they looked at the STG 44 and copied it, not the internals or looks, but basic things making it an assault rifle
