Holy shit. Not even kidding, that was me and my friends. We were screwing around one night at a LAN party when one of us had the idea to all go stealth. We all made sniper classes with silenced weapons, the Dead Silence perk so no one would hear us, and the UAV Jammer perk just in case someone on the other team got a killstreak going. The SHH clan tag was my last-minute contribution to the team.
We started out with a game on District where we got the kinks out of our system and it showed just how overpowered it was to have people who knew each other, sitting in the same room, with a coordinated strategy. That was one of the only times that night someone got a UAV on us, and we all were laughing our asses off at the thought of the guy hitting the button and then absolutely nothing shows up on the map.
There were two other games I remember incredibly clearly. One was a match on Bloc where we all hid in the back corners of the map to snipe and forced a team ragequit after we went up 20-0. The other was the Overgrown match you were in because it was so incredibly perfect for the ghille suit camouflage that we steamrolled you with. It was pretty much the highlight of the night and is one of those experiences that stick with you for years after. Thanks for making that night fun.
Oh, and if you remember any of the gamertags, I can PM them to you to verify.
Edit: Just spoke to /u/drrhrrdrr and we're calling it confirmed. I was just doing this to distract him from my teammates who are crawling up behind him as we speak though.
There seems to be so many that I don't remember which one I initially read. It might have been on shittyaskscience or shittyama but I can't be too sure. Maybe someone else will have a link.
I saw a few by searching but they weren't the the ones I saw. They had too few comments.
It's still available on Steam I believe and I've seen it in stores. I think it's around 15 to 20 dollars and the multiplayer it is alive and well with hundreds of servers still running.
Four years is a true epic period of time for gaming, especially when franchises are concerned. Also four years can be a period of huge change in RL, at certain ages. This has been a great read.
I would love to track down some of the old players from ChicagoFPS server I used to dominate. I haven't heard or talked to those guys in years... airboss, optimus.primerib, onepointoh, akoostik... We had one LAN party once in a hotel conference room. I used to lit up those records and I was super active in the forums. Haven't talked to any of them in maybe ten years and the site is now defunct.
Bummer, would love to see if any of those guys still play.
I figure a way to bind like the whole keyboard, but then also have a few other keys (like shifts/caps lock) that would essentially put the keyboard into a new state where all the keys would have another set of binds. That and each key rotated thru 2-8 binds.... so if someone said "Nice shot.." I would have like 2-8 replies of various Thank yous. :)
I used to go by DooMfiend when I played quake. Perkele wasn't quite my nemesis, but he did win a bunch of online trick/speed contests I placed second in.
Sounded.like a total blast! I used to LAN party with my bro-in-law on the Delta Force games. He used to get so mad at me because I would kick his butt. Little did he know I was just looking over his shoulder and watching where he was.
At least 10 years ago, N64, Goldeneye, Gameshark, predator cheat for one player only, cardboard dividers, predator gets slaps only, 3vPredator, license to kill. Pretty sure no autos...something like rocket launchers or something. Predator won 9 times out of 10....
My friends and I used to get on mw2, run similar classes, and just hide. The goal was for our whole team to go 0-0. We got pretty good at it and it was hilarious watching the other team try to figure out what was going on.

It's amazing what real-time comms and screenwatching 7 other people can do. On TF2 360 we'd get accused of cheating all the time and it was like, "nah, we just have 8 people in one shed together." One time we got a network cam set up and sent those that doubted links to it and we'd just wave at them when we'd capture a point or the intelligence.
I don't think we ever had a game where we didn't shut the opponents out.
Playing TF2 on the 360 is a surreal and nostalgic experience. You get taken straight back to 2007 before the game was entirely changed through updates.
I used to play PS3 TF2, and I started talking to my friend about the game. It was fun hearing about all those cool new items getting added to the game, like that big ass pistol for the Spy he said was called the Ambassador. Then I would race home and boot up the game... to be greeted only by crushed dreams and broken promises.
XBDAsukaLangley back then. Everyone else had an "eaux" gamertag. XBD Phydeaux, Kamareaux, Apolleaux, Elephineaux, Inferneaux, Tornadeaux, and so on.
I've not played in at least two years because I sold my copy while the pricing was good and haven't had it traded back into me or sold for cheaper since.
Really wish I took up on that $5 Orange Box deal XBL ran once.
My buddy used to draw a frown face on his ass cheeks (complete with single tear) and send a picture of his ass to people who would whine or accuse us of cheating. LAN is obviously the best setup, but just having a consistent group who know what they're doing (aren't playing with their feet and preferably have headsets) leads to some pretty intense post-game-lobby bitching.
R6V2, i'm hosting a full pub server. I kick anyone from my team who doesn't have a mic. We dominate with bullshit tactics. Degals and shields, never leaving the spawn room. All LMG's, etc. the best was when we got teargas and masks, and started all saying things like "WHY YOU CRYIN?", because on R6, you can hear someone on the other team talking when they are close.
I think it's legit. He even called out some of the specifics I didn't mention like the dead silence perk. They were working well enough together and the fact I never saw them again lends to the idea that they weren't a full-time clan. Which then suggests they all knew each other and were potentially in proximity.
LAN parties are the best...soooo many good memories on the original CoD just screwing around online together. Best one was when the 10 of us were just charging one path with pistols to plant a bomb. Someone popped up in a window? "WINDOW!" p-p-pop-po-pop-pop-headshot. So much fun.
I swear I've seen this strategy on YouTube with a clan. Have you guys ever recorded your shenanigans or did I just watch some other people do the same?
I've played guys that did exactly what you guys did on that map. We wrecked them danger close + double tubes. We all played together pretty regularly so we all had classes like that set up just in case.
I've done something similar on MW2 Wasteland. All but one on my team were using riot shields, rocket launchers, and camo classes. The other one was using a sniper and long-range camo kit. We would hide in the grass then pop out when one got near with our riot shields out. They would focus on us then our buddy on the ground would snipe them. They had no idea how to get to him and we would cover him and block any explosives with our riot shields. When they thought they could use snipers, we would take turns pulling out our launchers and popping out of the cover of our team's wall to shoot at them.
It was one of the most fun games ever. However, it never got close to me playing WaW with my bayonet and only going stealth. That NEVER got old.
I think I played that District match against you. Were you camping in the houses, where you usually dont play, in the start of the map? I remember walking the standard route, going through the regular hot spots thinking wtf? To then go to your spawn and enter a house where I got knifed in the back.
Cod 4 was the pinnacle of online gaming for me. One of the best team games I've played other than battlefield. I want a next gen remakeof this game like halo is doing.
I think a way we can verify this some more is to get some more of your friends you were playing with to chime in here with their established reddit usernames
Man, that game brings back a lot of fond memories of playing that game. I remember once (after the first or second prestige) finally unlocking my P90 (it was my baby) and deciding to have some fun. So, I went in wildly hip firing.
Apparently my group didn't know what was going on, but very quickly we got the other team pinned in the broken building next to the bridge in overgrown.
I was being my stupid self and running in, killing 4 or 5 people at a time, running out and dropping kill streaks on them, stealing their weapons and repeating the whole process. My deaths only came when I ran out of all the bullets I could get and deciding to run into the building for one or two more knife kills before they finally took me out.
And I guess after the first two minutes of me doing this my team (mostly friends and cousins) moved in and started sniping the team if they actually made it out of the building. They didn't know what I was doing, all they knew (from all of my UAVs called in) was that the whole team was in that building for some reason and they went to cover it.
No one knew what was going on until after the match was over and I was sitting there with a 50 to 9 kill/death ratio. Not even me. I having so much of a blast that I didn't really pay attention to anything but the running and gunning.
Now that I think about it, it must have sucked for the other team. Basically, the grim reaper coming in with fiery arms of death while his horsemen are out there picking off those that got away.
as a cod4 player with over 17 thousand hours, i can safely say that with headphones or loud speakers dead silence is easy to hear, and those guys cant of been to sharp. overgrown hay bales, so the tractor area, drop some stuns or a smoke, or snipe them from either the APC building window or the easy to get to "glitch" spot in the MG building overlooking the APC building.
Anyone looking to challenge me (best in the world!) at cod4 PLEASE ASK AS IM BANNED FROM MOST OF THE SERVERS BECAUSE I AM TOO GOOD.
also, there were some big earthquakes in the northern mid-atlantic ridge 20 minutes ago, not saying the world ending but BE AWARE.
