COD4 Call of Duty 4 Comparsion and Guide for All Explosive Perks

Posted date: September 02, 2008 In: Weapon Tips | comment : 18

Explosives are the cement that holds a good Call of Duty 4 game together. Can’t get an angle to shot someone inside a building? Just toss a grenade up there and hope for the best. The explosives are all well balanced in terms of power, so we can’t discount any single explosive, but we can get to know them a little better. Be sure to check out our Call of Duty 4 Explosive Stats Chart for detailed information on each Call of Duty explosive.

Grenade – An extremely useful multi purpose explosive. No matter what perk or weapon set up you have the single denominator is that they all come equipped with at least one grenade. The multi purpose abilities is what makes grenades great. No other explosive kills with deadly accuracy no matter whether you are exploding it right at your feet or tossing it distances to enemies inside a building. Each grenade has a fuse of 3.5 seconds and a talented grenadier can cook a grenade so perfectly that it explodes right in the enemies face, giving them no time to throw it back to you. the biggest reason why grenades are one of the best explosives is that you can spam them over buildings or in random locations where there is a high probability of an enemy being located. The range and damage values of grenades means that one grenade is all you will need.

RPG – Great for taking out helicopters, but that’s about it. The poor accuracy of the projectile makes it strictly worse than the grenade launcher for taking out individual players. You also stand a good chance of killing yourself with the RPG if you are firing from crouch or prone in a hilly area. The RPG is invaluable however at taking out helicopters always appearing in Call of Duty 4, no other explosive or weapon can come remotely close.

Grenade Launcher – The often whined about Noobtube, great for taking out obscured targets quickly. The grenade launcher couples the great range and accuracy of the grenade with the explosion on contact power of the RPG. It is often complained about but in most situations normal bullets could do a better job at getting a kill than the Noobtube. Think about it, to fire a round from the Noobtube you need to get a relatively clear view of the enemy, enable the launcher, fire the grenade and wait a few moments for it to actually hit. In that same time or less a skilled Call of Duty player could have pulled out his or her M16 and fired a quick three round burst killing the enemy. The Noobtube is not without it’s uses, but because you can’t use it around corners or for spam like a normal grenade it is far from overpowered.

Claymore – The best choice explosive for snipers or to hold an important building. The great part about claymores is that you can just set it and forget it. There is no hassle of aiming or risking your life in battle. Just set it by a high traffic location and wait for the kill to pop up. Planting them correctly so that they are no visible, but still do more than just wound the enemy can take some practice but is fairly simple. The claymore is the only explosive you should bother using for passive play.

C4 – A strong explosive for aggressive, not passive uses. Most people try to use C4 as a camping tool and end up waiting hours on end for someone to walk by that they can blow up. If you want a passive explosive device Claymores are always the better choice. C4 does have a place if you use it actively though. Basically you want to use it as a grenade with a shorter range and a shorter fuse. Check out this post for more information on C4 throwing in Call of Duty 4.

That’s it for the call of Duty 4 explosive review, please comment if you have anything to add or think I missed something.

those noob tubers on most every map at the start of the game seem to know the exact angly to launch at to kill most of the team… it just gets so annoying… and i have one question… is there any way to control the cruve of a RPG?
[B.K] Banme!

C4 is a great weapon it is HIGHLY underrated.
If used wisly its a powerfull tool.
I have it for neally every class of mine and i end up at least getting 30 kills a match(im not exagerating)

LOL who the hell camps with C4?

The RPG is uncontrolable after shooting… I use the noobtube. It’s not something to spam with, it’s to get those targets that are pissing you off with.. i.e. you know windows with snipers in and you don’t have the time to nade, then the nade launcher can be your man.

but I do find it funny throwing in C4 XD

RPGs are good for clearing rooms, in some cases at least they have a nice splash and in games like headquarters can be useful in slowing a capture down. Claymores are the ones! just don’t put them to close to the door frame or the splash will be absorbed by the wall and the enemy will survive the blast, most players aren’t looking to carefully for the claymore so set it inside the frame but about a stride away from the door frame, this works two fold as they have cleared the door frame by the time it clicks to warn them it is detonating and obscures the red lasers from sight when approaching the door way… well obsucres till its too late!

RPG is better than what it said here….I personally used them an they are great for killing enemy campers and killing a bunch of enemy at once. I think, source You underestimate the power of RPG.

RPG is Underestimated here… you can relatively suicide with it.. just like a suicide wankers, where you don’t have time to reload on both arms… just pull out, jump, and whalla ^_^

Personally, i use c4 or bandolier on all my classes. If anyone uses c4 to camp, they deserve to die. (The one possible use is sticking it on a bomb planter thingy for use in sabotage or search and destroy.) Aggresive c4 throwing is not only quite lethal, but about the most fun thing in the entire game.

i use c4 on my “ghost” class and it is awesome when someone has seen u. just run into a room throw c4, wait for them to get close and boom! also great against snipers, as a ghost a sniper with a deagle could pretty easily take me down so i spot where they are and throw away!

I use c4 on my classes because it is useful for clearing out rooms like the buildng in strike. i just throw it up and BOOM! i like it better than frag x3 because u dont have to cook and get killed while your cooking it. you can also sort of us it like a claymore except i dont use it to kill people. I just throw it in an obvious spot the way up to a sniping spot and when the shoot it and it explodes i know they are coming.

if u use the mp5 use the m9 pistol cuz they both use the same ammo so u get extra

It’s possible that the garage door opener – the box like mechanism situated near the ceiling which is responsible for opening and closing the door itself – is not plugged in. This can be because someone simply forgot to plug it in, or because it has slipped out of a loose socket. An AC cord usually exits the machine and plugs into an outlet on the ceiling, or perhaps to an extension cord that runs to a wall outlet. Check to see if this is plugged in and you may have the solution to why your door won’t open or close right there.
