So, you own Call of Duty 4 and you’ve beaten the single player campaign on every difficulty level possible. What’s Next? How bout multiplayer? The Call of Duty Multiplayer experience is one of the most full featured offerings on any system.
On the other hand, the endless features in Multiplayer can be a little daunting for first time users. It can also be frustrating to start off with a limited selection of weapons as you face off against veteran players with tricked out guns that have been refined over hours of playing.
For the casual fan, or the newly initiated, here’s my simple guide through the first couple of ranks in Call of Duty 4’s multiplayer that will hopefully raise your game and keep you coming back for more.
Check out my full Newbie Guide after the Jump!
1. Starting out - Beginning at level one in this game is difficult. Even the most experienced of players will struggle a bit with the limited selection of weapons offered. Be aware that while you may not be able to select your own perks, the custom classes do offer perks, so you will be able to keep up with the rest of the players… to an extent.
2. Class Selection - The biggest problem you’ll face is class selection. My advice is to go for the Special Ops, which uses the submachine gun, MP5. It has a great iron sight and has better than average accuracy from medium to short range. This weapon can be effective on any map in the rotation and can dominate in the right hands.
Don’t choose the M16. The limited vision on the iron sights and burst rate of fire can make a newbie’s life very difficult. While the burst fire has great power, that power must come with accuracy, which most first time players may not have right off the bat. If you absolutely do not want to play with the MP5, I recommend the light machine gun known as the SAW. The extreme fire rate and better than average iron sights makes this a great weapon for the spray and pray crowd. Its bullet penetration power is also much higher than theMP5, which is great for medium range shoot-outs where your opponent is hiding behind a wall that you can simply blast through.

can you tell me why cod 4 when i play it in multyplayer slows down my pc and cpu is working on 100%….??? i have ati radeon 1600 512mb, ram dd2 1,5 gb and amd 2.0 cpu…
8 Bennet // Dec 11, 2007 at 11:01 am
I notice my game slow down a little even with 2gig ram… go figure what would happen with 512 MB
RAM > Anything else.
9 Rob // Dec 13, 2007 at 3:53 am
Roflol he said he has 1.5gig of ram ^^ read properly his card has 512mb of Vram,
The reason is @ a guess your still sucking on a AGP card which will never be able to handle cod4 tbh also AMD 2.0 is slow…
10 Revva // Dec 14, 2007 at 4:36 am
A random thing:
I’m running on-
1.8Ghz, Pentium dual-core
2Gb DDR2 RAM
128mb GeForce 8400 GS
I have most of the settings on either medium or high an have virually no lag unless in a very intense firefight. The graphics are excellent. The only thing I dislike about this game is the fact that there’s no ammo guy or someway to regenerate it, but you rarely live long enough to use all your ammo and there are other guns everywhere.

Are you kidding? The M16 is the best weapon you could start out with. Who cares about the iron sights not being the greatest once you get 25 kills with it you get the red dot. The M16 is the most balanced, accurate, and one of the most powerful weapons in the game and it is especially effective in hardcore game types.
41 Lono // Apr 6, 2008 at 2:25 am
Wow, this thread has some of the dumbest comments i’ve seen on the site… rofl….
42 Tyler // Apr 28, 2008 at 10:35 am
Man you need to stop saying that the mp5 is the best weapon…. i mean its a good weapon but def not the best.. the m16 is the best gun you could use.. i mean if you cant get 25 kills for your red dot sight in about 2-3 games.. your not goood at all.
43 Laneman // Jun 2, 2008 at 5:59 am
Bog can be good or bad depending on the game type, and the m16 is not the best gun by a long way, the mp5 is better, and the G36c is the best assault rifle by a mile, its more accurate than the m16 and its automatic, plus it takes enemyies down just as quickly.
