Does this game have a grenade launcher?

From the CoD4 MW wiki page:

"Grenade Launcher - This attachment launches highly accurate grenades which explode on impact. Ammunition is limited to two grenades, may not be restocked, and is not shared with conventional hand-held grenades. This attachment is only for assault rifles and replaces Perk 1."

Fortunately for people that play MW2, it is possible to restock it if the turkey perk (that's what I call it) is being used.

[Mop it up]

The framerate could be fixed with an overclock or emulation. Neither of those are an official fix, but whatever.

Perfect Dark is being re-released on XBox 360 which makes things even more painful for me...

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, that's kind of a "so close, yet so far" sort of deal.

You mean the PD64 remake for XBLA that has been rumored forever and ever?

MS should let Rare release it on VC to generate some money for Project Natal development.
One of Rare's recent projects need to be profitable.....

[EasyCure]

*sigh*
Why does the modern shooter think that grenades are a replacement for a grenade launcher? They're not the same thing! These games really make me miss Perfect Dark, that game just got everything right.

I feel your pain. Thats it, next pay check I'm buying you and I each an xbox so we can play PD together^*

Are there any good deals on this game? I might pick it up just to play with you guys since having only two people posting their friend codes is, well, pathetic. If the price is right I might just pick it up in time to play with you guys this weekend

edit: way to double post Mop_it_up, i had to try to get this thru more times than I wanted to

It isn't a rumour, it is coming:

I'll be looking around. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Its a shame Nintendo didn't hold onto re-release rights to games made on Nintendo hardware while they were paired up. Crisp and clear and probably a silky smooth 60fps with all 12 bots active. Imagine that with wiimote pointer control!! One of Rare's final gems....

Ehh, I don't think thats the grenade launcher she wants. Thats an attachment for rifles, not a weapon.

[Stratos]

I didn't like using that grenade launcher attachment. I felt the reload time was too slow. Plus the limited ammunition kinda kills it's uses.

[Mop it up]

Goldeneye for Nintendo 64 has the best grenade launcher. Six-round clip, twelve in reserve, bounced off walls, exploded on contact with the ground, good blast radius, NOT weaker than a rocket... And this thing is a real-world weapon too, I've seen pictures, it isn't something made up. It could fit in a "realistic" war game.

You just brought back memories of picking off friends in the large first floor of the Temple level in multi, from across the room or around corners...

[Mop it up]

My brother and two friends would form teams, and then take sides of that large open room on the top floor of the Temple, with the pit in the centre. The rules were that we couldn't move past the pit or out of the room. We used the infinite ammo cheat so that we wouldn't run out of grenades. When one side was killed, they had to find grenade launchers and return to the room as soon as possible. The waiting team allowed them to return to the room without tossing grenades at the passageways they had to use to enter the room, so none of that cheap stuff went on...

[EasyCure]

what cheap stuff? Like racing around the Facility planting proximity mines at all the spawn points and hoping you get the first kill on your oponent? Me and my best friend had a great time doing that.. the only people that thought it was cheap were the ones we were playing against When it was just one on one, it was a competitive race for the first kill!

It's almost like dodge ball with grenades! Awesome!

The Facility was a great place for proxy mine games. My friends and I would play a game we made up called 'Find Bonds Bomb' where one person would hide proxy mines in random stalls and the others would then come in and take turns randomly opening stalls in a twisted version of Russian Roulette and the last man standing wins and gets to plant them the next round.

The only level that was funner to play with proxy mines was the caves level since it was so dark in there with great places to hide mines and we would trap ourselves in corners with entire areas booby trapped waiting for the others to find us.

[Mop it up]

Proximity Mines were a big hit around here, too. The rule set we would use for that one is that we could shoot the mines with the guns, but not each other. Oh, and no planting mines on the Proximity Mine boxes either. The mines aren't as fun as the Remote Mines in Perfect Dark, hoo boy did I have fun with those. I loved planting them on people and then detonating them when they least expected it. When my friend and I played on a team against the simulants, I would toss a bunch of mines on him and send him out into the hoard of simulants, then detonate it when they were all close enough.

Anyways, getting back on topic, I thought of a couple more questions about this game (sorry I've been so inquisitive as of late!).
Would I have to play the campaign mode to unlock any features for multiplayer? Because I'm not so sure that I would want to play that portion of the game...
Has anyone encountered any glitches? It seems like every time I play The Conduit, I discover a new one. Just today, I saw someone who kept switching teams, somehow. Each time he did, his score would increase the overall score for the team he joined. The match ended with each side having over 400 points.

[Stratos]

I think that was an exploit/hax in Conduit.

No, you unlock multiplayer extras like new modes and guns by playing multiplayer. You gain exp like in conduit but it levels up your multiplayer level that gives you more perks, attachments, guns, camo options and game modes. It's pretty cool because there are also 'challenges' which are online achievements that you complete to earn extra exp and special upgrades. It's pretty cool and I rarely feel grossly overpowered by people who have better stuff. In fact, if you kill a higher ranked player than has a better gun you get to take the gun and use it until you die. Plus these better guns aren't overpowered so it's not like they stomp you because of them.

[Mop it up]

It's always possible it was a hack, since people hack other aspects. That seems like a weird thing to do though, and the game has other strange glitches... My accuracy for the rocket launcher is now 6,700%. I wonder how high I can get it?

Actually, there's another good question. Have you run into any hackers that you are aware?

[Stratos]

No. There have been none I've noticed. This code is surely more secure than conduit's where they didn't put any protections in to stop people from exploiting the game.

[Toruresu]

The only problem I have with the game is the complete lack of communication with other players. No WiiSpeak, no in game chat thing (like PSO for GC) or anything.

Easy fix? Call friends with my cell.

[Mop it up]

AIM is underrated. Am I the only one who has a PC next to their television? Well, actually, I probably am, as most people now have laptops, but you get my point.

[Stratos]

I was playing and I ran into a person named 'that guy'. Is this our 'that guy' per-chance? He seemed to be pretty good but I got him a couple times.

In other news I rocked when I played last night. I got my highest kill streak so far which called in the air strike and went up three ranks in a single match thanks to the special challenges I completed. Now I'm ranked at 19 or 20. It felt pretty good to rock like that.

[Mop it up]

Is it possible to drop ranks?

[Stratos]

No. You gain experience with every kill (varies depending on if you assisted or got the full kill) but never lose it. Ranks only go up.

But there is a 'leaderboards' ranking you can view that shows where you stand against your friends compared to all of the other people playing. I'm around the 150k rank last I checked for leaderboards. The exp/leveling rank is different so you can't drop on that one.

[Toruresu]

Perhaps we should use a -NWR after our names? I think I've played "that guy" before but I never really thought about it.

Got the game yet Mop_it_up?

[Mop it up]

Ah, good to hear. Assists are one thing I would have liked in The Conduit. I usually play team matches, but there isn't much incentive for teamwork since you don't get any points for damaging an opponent that someone else finishes.

This brings up a question though: does killing yourself cause you to lose a point? In The Conduit, it doesn't. People tend to kill themselves when they are low on health, and also pay no mind to blasting themselves with explosives.

Got the game yet Mop_it_up?

Why? Are you itching to shoot me in the face?
For now, you'll have to use The Conduit as your venue for that.
