I wrote this for my clan after the first day or 2 playing CoD 4 so it's pretty basic and only ment for people starting out, I have already posted it in another thread but just so its easier to access:
Over time i will add things and try and turn it into a sort of wikki type thing.
Know where your enemy are!- Just like BF2 knowing where your enemy is is essential to you staying alive and completing a misson. Knowing where your enemy is will allow you to pre fire or wall your him and give you a massive advantage.
There are several ways of doing this:
-Listen: for gun fire and then check your map to see if there are friendlies where the fire came from. If there aren't then be alert for an enemy coming from that direction.
-Use your map: enemies fireing without a silencer will show up on your map. if you see an enemy appear make sure you keep a tab on them and listen for their movments.
-Watch for gun fire: you can see lines of fire so again make sure that you keep a tab on areas you see fire coming from.
Silence!- Counteract the last point. If you dont have to make noise don't! Crouching will enable you to move silently although you will still make noise if you jump over a ledge or something similar.
When selecting weapons always equip a silencer as you can take down enemies without alerting their team to you presence.
When in a war DONT SPAM TS! if you die hold you comments for after the round or type them over team chat.
Grenades- Grenades are great for clearing out small rooms and blowing up cars that enemies may be hiding behind. There will be spots on maps where you can use grenades to slow down an enemies advance or protect a bomb site of cap point.
Also note that in CoD 4 you can "cook" nades before you throw them. Hold down your grenade button watch your crosshair pulse. The grenade explodes after 4 pulses so make sure you throw it in time. A cooked grendae is useful if there is an enemy close by behind cover as once you throw it at them they can't hurl it back.
Special Grenades- There are 3 Special grenades:
Smoke: Use to cove movments and when someone is planting at a bomb site.
Flash: Use these when entering a room or rushing an enemy. If you get them properly the enemy wont be able to hear, see of move quickley.
Stun: Havent used these yet, will update later.
Knife- Knives in CoD4 are deadly! they are silent, kill in one hit and have a fairly large range for a melee weapon. Bind you knife button to something you can get to quickley such as the middle mouse button. The knife is best used when you meet an enemy as they walk through a door.
Perks
I dont think many ladders wll use these although they will give you 1 or 2 as a default. Most comonly it will be deep impact. This perk alows you to shoot through concrete walls and more solid objects.
General tips
Shoot through walls: If you know you enemy is behind a wall of in a room spray the wall where you think they are. You may not kill them but you will make them panick.
Use Crosshairs: Try to use these instead of iron sights when fighting one on one at close range as it allow you to aim better and move around alot more. Use your iron sights when walling or firing at a distant target. If you have the steady aim perk then your first shot will always hit the center of your cross hair.
Movement: if you come up against someone one on one dont just stand there and fire! crouch, prone strafe and jump. The more you move the more likley you are to win the fight.
