Call of Duty 4 MP vs CS Source

[MatixManiac]

Matrix Mafia aka Spent Uranium here,

I just received and played the recently released Call of Duty 4 game.
I have also recently started playing CS Source for about 4 months.
(I will say from the outset that I loved the Call of Duty 1 and Expansion game but never played the Multiplayer portion of that game)

In comparing COD4 MP and CSS; CSS wins hands down!

What makes the difference?

Weapons? No
Graphic? No, both are great.
Mods? No.

It is all in the Style of Play.

CSS has "rounds" where, when you are eliminated, you sit out that round.

COD4 only one "Mod" has rounds, the rest are a free for all Spawn and Respawn and Respawn and Respawn, until.....? one team gets enough points.
For me, this created a situation where Chaos and Uncoordinated Team Play Ruled.
In many of the Mods, the visual diff between your team and their team was very slight.
The "Radar" was almost useless bc players were getting eliminated and respawned so fast, I was getting dizzy, then getting shot in the back by some enemy that I had eliminated moments before, who had respawned to seek his revenge.
COD4 is slightly faster paced, figured seem to move faster, but in the grand scheme of things, that makes it worse.

I think the Rapid Spawn-Respawn style causes the most problems.

When I think of playing CSS, I have a team, we try to work together, use Vox Com, to one end; the objective. If my team takes out 5 of the 10 opponents players, I know we only have 5 CT or T left.

In COD4, 10 on 10 remains 10 on 10 .......forever!!! What kind of realism crap is that?
When your playing, it seems like your not making any progress....BECAUSE THE ENEMY YOU JUST TOOK OUT, JUST FRIKEN RESPAWNS SECONDS LATER ON YOUR 6, AND KILLS YOU!

And my next point, or opinion is pure speculation.
The Gamers playing COD4 are either younger, more immature, or both.

In game, where I actually figured out where the heck my team was and was not, as finally found the bomb to defuse ( missed it by seconds). I received volleys/salvo's of insults and other colorful comments, and...."no one is going to recruit you." from my own team!Since nobody uses Vox Com, and only text chats, is was diff to reply quickly, so I let it go.

What I wanted to say is: 1) Thank You, I'd rather drink Moose drool then be recruited by you" or 2) Hey Bubba, let go me and you go "Mano y Mano " on a CSS Mod because I'd really like to hear you whine like a baby so more, after I took you out with a head shot, and you could not re-spawn.

he worst I ever got when playing CSS, and missed defusing a bomb by seconds, was: "Nice try."


I could go on but I won't/

Is it just me or what?
