The Dogs

Re: The Dogs

I prefer Hardcore and as such the dogs suck monkey balls. Everyone talks about super accurate helos from CoD4 but who ever heard of super accurate dogs? One bite and your dead? WTF? Are they homing in on my throat or what? Knifing is fine but if you miss with your first strike then you're dead. Lame. I get way more kills when I call the dogs than when I called a helo.

Re: The Dogs

Don't prefer hardcore, the easy solution :)

Dogs can be tweaked a lot though, how many there are, their health, or if they are disabled completely... There should be some custom servers up without dogs when the game is released.

I absolutely CAN NOT stand the vanilla version of this game. Without trying to offend anyone but I find it way to arcadey, full of bunny hopping, juggernaut enabled, smg/mg whores. Unload a clip into someone as they charge towards you and still get knifed in the face. No thanks. Hardcore involves way more skill in order to do that. Yeah, it is easier to kill it is also by definition easier to die. Hardcore promotes less chicken without his head run and gun.

Just my humble two cents. Sorry if I trod on any sensitive egos.

Re: The Dogs

Oh Roamer. Everyone knows Hardcore is teh ghey and easy and it takes real skill for regular mode.

Thats another reason I like this new game. All the MANY changes that can be done to it and it still remain ranked.

Haha, but your wrong though... believe me, this topic has been raped again, and again, and again.

Anyway, my thoughts on the dogs: The stupidest idea to ever come to a multiplayer FPS. The choppers in CoD4? No problem... you could just hide from them, and they were never really a distraction, and if you died to them ... oh well, it was totally random. Nevermind the fact that they were a big fat target sitting in the sky just waiting to be shot down.

Now instead, we have a bunch of tiny, weaving targets of death charging at you, sometimes attacking you four at a time... and the amount of the dogs is ludicrous, I swear I've seen 6-7 of them on my screen at once, and once you kill them, along come more.

The fact that I was playing it on the xbox probably didn't make matters better. :hmm:

Not unless you played on a server that has had its config file altered. The default setting is 4 enemy dogs on the map at any one time, and 8 dogs total each time they are called in.

If the server wasn't altered, the only way you could've seen more than 4 dogs on the map at once, is if both teams had simultaneous dog attacks going. And in that case, enemy dogs are always black in colour, and friendly dogs are the lighter colour.

Re: The Dogs

The dogs just completely irritate me to no end. I'll be having a great time shooting folks and then comes the endless stream of dogs -- dogs after dogs after dogs...

I really dislike this device to increase the stress level. I understand it, but I really detest it more than the helicopters in CoD4. Otherwise, I've been learning to enjoy CoD5 as I play it more.

Re: The Dogs

I personally enjoy joining hardcore servers, running around with the MG42 blowing people away, waiting for people to come around corners and BLAM, they get made into swiss cheese. Then, after my ammo is depleted, I make a suicide charge at some poor sap with my knife, die, then call in the dogs. Boom, at least 3 kills usually, 5 kills maybe, sometime s another 7, and then we lather, rinse, repeat. Death on a massive scale.

Re: The Dogs

Just for the fun of it. I'd like to get on a private server with some of my friends, then get into our camping position. Then, just like zombie mod but deadlier, we'll have a wave of 30 dogs charging us. I would like that But they have to bite you three times to kill you.

I am getting really good at nailing the dogs. In normal mode I don't even pay attention to them even though I hear when they're behind me. Because they turn me toward them with one bite. Then I just bayonet them. Guys the trick to dogs is an SMG, LMG or an old fashion good, trusty bayonet. I'm still having timing difficulties in hardcore cause it seems the dogs jump from further away. Not to mention it's one-maul-one-kill.
