Explosives are inherently powerful weapons in Call of Duty 4 because they require less accuracy to get a kill than bullets do. Explosives are supposed to be limited to a maximum of three per player’s life, a grenade plus an additional explosive chosen from Perk 1. The reason I say “supposed to” is because there is a legitimate way to get a total of five explosive devices in Call of Duty; four shots from a the Grenade Launcher plus your normal grenade. Below is how to set up your classes to get four rounds for your Grenade Launcher in Call of Duty 4.
Step 1. Equip Overkill in your 2nd Perk slot. Read more
For PC players finding a good game server is critical if you want to expand your clan or team and take your gaming to the next level. Without a game server devoted to your clan you have no way to take part in scrimmages with other clans, and most importantly recruit new members. That is why it is important to buy your own server for your clan. Let me preface this guide to buying game servers by saying I can personally recommend GameServers.com for both Call of Duty 4 game servers and their Ventrilo/Teamspeak servers. Anyway below are 5 basic things you need to know before taking the jump of buying a game server, Ventrilo server Teamspeak server for your Call of Duty 4 clan.
Choose a respectable company to buy from – This is the most important part of finding a good game server. There are some simple things you can do to check online if to determine a companies general quality. First how does there website look? Is it a single poorly designed page with a link to their paypal account and no technical information on the services they provide? Next read online reviews like this one and ask around about game server companies to see what is good. Finally if you have questions about the game servers email/call the company and gauge the quality of their support staff. It is better to pay a little bit more and get a quality game server that you know will work than to pay a couple of bucks less and have a server that is never online.

There have been rumors of giving new game type abilities to Call of Duty 4 console Xbox and PS3 players for awhile, but they have finally been confirmed. A description of each new Call of Duty gametype to be added is below, no word on exactly when they will be coming out though.
Search and Destroy with Multiple Bombs – Same as normal S&D except instead of one bomb, everybody gets one. This prevents endless bomb camping and gives players with slower internet connections the chance to plant a bomb for once. The downside is it takes away from some of the classic S&D strategy that goes on.
Hardcore Free For All – Just what it sounds like, normal free for all mode except everyone starts at 30 health instead of 100 which amounts to around ten times more run and gun.
Hardcore Headquarters – Headquarters only bullets do more damage, there is no HUD, and most importantly Friendly Fire is on. The idea behind Friendly Fire being on is that it will prevent endless amounts of nade spam at the Headquarters position because people will be too afraid of killing their teammates. In practice though I doubt it will change Headquarters game play at all.
Bare Bones Team Death Match – Team Death Match without perks or kill streak benefits. This promises to be the most interesting game type, what will people do without being able to whine about Martyrdom and Airstrikes? I do admit though this is probably an improvement over the normal TDM games.
This won’t mean much to all the PC players Call of Duty out there who already have access to these gametypes, except for Barebones TDM which is not avaiable unless you are playing on modded servers. Hopefully with the 1.8 patch PC players will be seeing a Barebones gametype available on normal Call of Duty 4 servers.

This is one of the best and most abusive Call of Duty techniques out there and if you don’t want to ruin the game for your friends after owning them over and over stop reading now.
I thought you would still be here. Call of Duty 4 was designed with the intention that sniping could only be done at long range, not in mid and close range combat situations. There is good reason for this, sniper rifles are the only weapons that can consistently kill an enemy in one shot and making that possible at all ranges would be overpowered. But today I am going to teach you how you can consistently get no scope kills with the sniper rifle in Call of Duty 4 and how to use the sniper to win close range firefights. This strategy is incredibly powerful if used correctly because it enables you to get one shot kills while all your teammates need 3-4 shots to get a kill in Call of Duty.
Step 1. The first thing you have to do is to become an aggressive sniper is make a sniping class that will consistently one shot kill. If you read our Sniper Class Review you would know that this means you want the M21 for Hardcore matches and the Barrett .50 Cal or M40A3 with Stopping Power as Perk 2 for normal matches. The other perks are up to you, if you are new to Sniping though I would suggest Iron Lungs for Perk 3 though. You should also consider using the ACOG instead of the normal scope, but it is not required. We have one more bit of preparation though before you get to trying out this technique.
