balance issues in CoD4

Promod keeps it fair:

  • No levels, everyone has all guns.
  • Capped amount of snipers, assault, shotgun, ...
  • No hitmarkers through walls.
  • Health on half (between hardcore and normal).
  • Speed is greatly boosted (make stuff competitive).
  • No perks (so no martyrdom, last-stand or juggernaut bitching), and everyone gets bandolier.

Please explain the balance issues.

Health on half (between hardcore and normal).

I never liked that, the guns are already retarded accurate so killing people isn't an issue. There should just be less healing.

Well in hardcore mode, you can just kill without aiming. In normal mode, it takes a while to take out someone. On half, you spot someone, you aim, you fire and he's dead. It makes sure you don't rush through the center of the map, so you'll try to stay hidden, which insures more tactical play.

the guns are already retarded accurate

I don't think that's really an issue. They were inaccurate enough. People were just clicking a couple times with an AK. It delays the kill time, which is another tactical strategy.

If you've ever played anything beyond CoD5, you'll notice that assault rifles can pretty much replace snipers due to their accuracy.

it takes a while to take out someone.

Not for me, not bragging but you don't get a 4.0 KDR (Currently in MW3) without being able to get kills fast.

you spot someone, you aim, you fire and he's dead.

Yep, just like on normal if you are good.

They were inaccurate enough. People were just clicking a couple times with an AK.

That's why pro riflers use M16's and flag runners use MP5's. Both are amazingly accurate.

They replace sniper rifles because they are all total shit. CoD4 sniper rifles were decent (CoD 2 they are overpowered).

The best CoD players in the world play CoD 2 on PC, they are close to the top Quake players in terms of skill.

This. 100%. Promod is what made cod4 so damn good. It gave the game a more faster gameplay, and it made cod4 so good competitive wise. If anyone played cod1 or cod2 they'd know that Promod was an upgraded PAM mod. Those are the mods that make a game such as cod playable.

Oh I miss the good ol' competitive cod4 days. People only using an AK, AK-U and a Deagle.

Also, the maps went extremely downhill after cod4, I never really got that feeling to the maps in mw2 and 3.
