Some weeks ago Ingram posted in a thread that they are aiming for january 2012.
It would be cool if we could get some updates on that matter.
Unfortunately their twitter is very inactive and VN also does nothing to keep us informed.

Stop asking for new updates it arrives when it does
they are pretty stupid in general too
posting irelevant bullshit and insulting peeps about how small IQ they have
thats all this old mofo does on these forums
lmao
oh wait no.
Increase of skill gap, can't go wrong.
This is call of duty, not battlefield. It doesnt have to be realistic.

idd , only the shoutcaster bug must be fixed imo
Remove the pattern outside of the overlay itself, and the fading.

locking the reply button is very mature. think what you want, i would not have to ask if there would be regular (twitter) updates on codpromod.com or VN.
and i think i am not the only one that is interested whats going on with our mod.
not locked x) It's just that forum doesn't allow more than a few replys...
Snipers get too much praise as it is, give the assaults and smgs something to make look spectacular ;D
im still dubious on wether it would work or not though, it worked on cod2 because of the lower rate of fire and higher recoil, it could turn cod4 into even more of a spray and pray game than it already is though.
AK 47: Higher recoil, 1 bullet headshot, shooting forces the gun top right.
M4: Damage is fine, make the gun go directly upwards.
Smgs, recoil is fine but have them go one way rather than random.
Just what I'd like, not what everyone would agree on, but I like some of the features cod1 had.
In this case I'm just giving the mp44 recoil to the AK, and the bar recoil to the M4.
Unscope spray should go to the middle if you one tap (this I know can be done cuz I've done it myself.
And the unscope spray should be slightly smaller, because unscope unless very close is ridiculously random LoL
omfg
at least most of the time in cod4 u can out aim people instead of hoping for a lucky headshot/or the recoil gets u that headshot.
just my opinion on playing both games
although if that was the case id probably advise my full team to take an AK, make wallbangs for every cross and just headshot people before they get even get to sites.
things that need fixed : headbob, red dots, team camo (needs to be changed cause its been unfair as fuck since the release)

As I said, my opinion, not what's going to happen hah
"While your at it, give the following guns these recoil patterns:"
and:
"Unscope spray should go to the middle if you one tap (this I know can be done cuz I've done it myself. "
In any event, it'd be completely be changing the game, and pissing off the user base. :)
You made a suggestion that was retarded, deal with it.

Wasn't something I said you should deffo go ahead and change, but rather my opinion :)
The above about recoil, whether dream decides to believe it or not, was sarcasm. The no scope accuracy on the other hand was not, and I do suggest lowering it and having one taps go to the center rather than randomly dotting in and around your crosshair.
oh and it just doesn't make any sense not to be, but no-one will listen anyway :D

as it is both have their pros and cons, tip it to much to one side and you will have 5 man ak teams running around
And dont forget the immense gameplay changes if AK's can run as fast as scopes/smg's do.
im not saying change the speed at which you walk when zoomed in, so it wouldn't make ak's op as fuck even in the very slightest.....
it makes perfect sense to diversify the meta game

You could release a 2nd version (extreme-recoil-1-headshot-one-kill-al-gore-edition) just to give people the chance to have some fun matches with it and let them judge if these changes are any good.
47/74u/scope
On the odd occasion the shotgun and m4,
aside from that I still think they kill too quick.

before the smgs were basically assaults, this would make assaults like smgs.
it needs to be more defined for a more balanced game
smgs - rushing/securing sites
assaults - covering/supporting
scopes - early picks/cover/support
cant have ak's rushing into sites when smgs aint there yet, would just make the game random as fuck imo
it would mean that for example an ak could rush past nades more than anything else, but instead we have people binding keys so they change to shotgun/then back to ak on stream, looks retarded
I just don't understand the logic of scope being as fast as smg then, if it was changed it would change the meta game completely, how maps are played, what tactics are available and force people to adapt instead of "the standard" tactics which dominate most of peoples play
it was just an idea anyway, at the end of the day an ak loses close range to an smg 90% of the time, and an ak beats smg long range 90% of the time, I honestly don't see why if I take ak I should feel like I'm in a wheelchair ;D:D

red dots
team camo (needs to be more even)
increase M4 body damage
ingame advertisement?
shoutcaster overlay
+
deagle round instead of knife round
edited 2012-01-30 16:49:53
Maybe add a simpler scope overlay, like CS but with the COD4 overlay, and the model twitch to that list?
edited 2012-01-30 16:54:48
this is must need.
everything else is cool except the m4 thing, m4 is fine as it is, long range its 10x better than ak but its fucking crap at close range cos of the firing speed/spread even at lan ;)
Marines always blend with the map while Opfor always stands out.

aku nerf cause aku should be close range
scope buff cause they have no chance on close range???
random no scopes thru smoke from top street to bottom street on cross and shizzle doesnt make the game harder

Most weapons kill in two bullets at close to mid range. There is no real reason to use any other weapons aside from the 74u/47 and M40A3/R700.
Just doing some editing in Promod (I'm not a modder by any means but I've been playing around in asset manager) it's clear that there is no real emphasis on aim. You can shoot someone in the toe with an AK47 and it does the same damage as shooting someone in the chest. I'm not trying to bash the game, it's just the way it is.
The game is enjoyable for many (including me) because of how quick and easy it is to kill people. I'm not trying to claim that the game is "easy" as obviously there is a gap between top teams and good teams but even if you're horrendous at the game it's not hard to grab a couple frags.
I've played a couple pugs/scrims/pcw's/whatever in NA with a mod that has one shot headshots (and reduced damage) and it isn't bad by any means. Yes, there are random one shot headshots (just like any other game with one shot headshots) and the game feels a little different but for the most part it's not bad at all.

Right now you often have one chance to kill your enemy and when you fail to hit him, he jumped across to some car and with some luck he can kill you. Random headshots would just ruin that imo. It would add randomness, not skill.
And yes, I understand that random one shot headshots would become a nuisance but really at the end of the day it isn't all that bad. One shot headshots don't have to be so black and white either. Some people think one shot headshots mean every single gun in the game is a one shot headshot.
Just as an example the edited Promod that I played on made it to where SMGs didn't one shot headshot at mid or long ranges. Pistols didn't one shot headshot at all, and one shot headshots for the assault rifles was dependent on what gun you were using (i.e. M4 didn't one shot headshot due to how fast it shoots, etc).

Increasing weapon strength/damage is the wrong direction imo.
aku nerf cause aku should be close range
scope buff cause they have no chance on close range???
random no scopes thru smoke from top street to bottom street on cross and shizzle doesnt make the game harder
aku is already nerfed as fuck on range? does 8 damage per shot. AK is around 42.
You want to increase the hipspread radius but buff the scope on close range as they have no chance? The fuck is up with that... Scope is meant for long range anyway, use deagle for close range or pick up a weapon.
The actual weapon balance of ak47/aku74/bolt scopes is pretty good, each gun is strong at their own range. The rest of the guns however could use some changes. There are 3 smgs available but one 1 is used seriously and there are like 6 assault guns while only the ak is used and sometimes the m4. The game would become a whole lot more interesting when the rest of the weapons available are actually balanced and used. Same goes for the pistols, deagle is the only gun used as it has very high damage and is quite easy to use. The only way I can think of to make the other weaker pistols more interesting is to give them very little recoil and fast rof so they are useful at long range.
Completely changing the weapon balance could be a lot of fun if done correctly. This however is really hard to do, but it's possible. I don't see any reason why there couldn't be an experimental promod version to test big changes like that.
Weapon balance is optional, what they really need to fix in a new promod version is the shoutcaster overlay and disable model bobbing (Not sure if this is possible though without editing the executable, it's probably a hardcoded engine feature).
True, but for people who play in pub games with low/no sound or music on it's just a pain. Especially if people are using silencers. In a match it forces proper coms but on a pub game it is just going to piss off a lot of people. Make an option for the promod modes to enable/disable it would be the best solution.
Alternatively, isn't the point of playing with music on that you don't really care, therefore why would you get frustrated? :)

+1
Also the people who are saying "remove red dots and im out". None of them will leave, they just don't want the game to get any harder as they haven't got any better over the last 4 years of playing COD4.
Silencers are hardly used, and when they are used people just rage about it. Thats why I think it's best to just remove them.
When red dots are removed from pub and people play with hardly/no sound it is a major disadvantage. Right now red dots help a lot when someone shoots you but misses a full clip. I listen to music as I don't care on pub, but getting destroyed every round by people using sound would get me frustrated. It would cause a major (dis)advantage. Pub isn't about coms, so why remove the red dots as they only force better coms and use the of sound. Red dots should be removed in a real match, but just leave them on during a pub game.
lmfao
EDIT: personally I think red dots can stay or that you should make an indicator on the map showing from what angle the person firing are at least forcing people to think before just spraying randomly

lmfao
I could live with it, I'm just saying it would piss off a lot of people in pub. As I said before though, just include an option in the promod mode config file to enable/disable them. People can join a server with red dots enabled/disabled as they prefer.

Unscope one tap needs to change to center and so does the spread of the unscope when crouched/proned.
edited 2012-01-30 19:55:15
the deagle could have 1 bullet headshots and some nerfed damage to lower torso/legs/arms
I've seen plenty of retarded posts by you and most other people at some point or another throughout cod4, so sit down, chill out and don't let a bit of text on your screen make your blood boil eh?
xxx ^_^
the unscope spread.
I don't see wrong in the rest of it as I was just joking about. From the way you answered, you'd think your blood was boiling.
So rather than say fuck off, just say or pm me, "dude its not funny, can you stop" and I'll gladly stop. That would be much more polite, than to tell me to fuck off and then tell me I'm brain dead.
Then proceed to fuck off because you're brain dead.
