When my Internet is extremely f**ked up it takes CoD4 forever to launch. Not 5-7 minutes but at least 1-2. Been having connection problems lately?
I think there is and always has been something wrong with the server browser, to be honest. Try browsing through Xfire to find more results. Of course, you can't filter things as well so maybe that's just as useless.Got back into playing this earlier today after a 6+ month hiatus (they're starting a weekly session up at work), and although I'm sure this is not news to anyone who has been playing it the past half year, I was baffled at how I filter-searched for partially filled non-hardcore, non-passworded servers, and with 20000 servers found none that matched the filter.
The tube is only a problem in hardcore. It's a minor inconvenience in normal mode (don't listen to "Killer") but in hardcore it becomes incredibly overpowered. In normal mode its kill radius is rather small (half that or so of a regular grenade) but in hardcore it kills in a huge radius. That radius coupled with its speed means you can't avoid it. If someone wants to kill you with it they will.I never quite understood the drama involved with people using grenade launchers before playing this afternoon's session of hardcore, and I was immediately appalled at the frustration it invokes. I hope they're not deciding on hardcore at work :/
Oh, I guess I didn't think about hardcore, but that's okay because hardcore is terrible and people who play it because it's "realistic" are annoying as hell.
Sjosz, it's likely the server browser just broke at that point. Mine breaks all the time and I have to restart the game to get it to work again, sometimes I even have to restart a few times. If I hit the refresh button on it, it will usually break. It's so stupid. You'd think with all this great technology you could come up with a working god damn server browser, but a lot of games **** this up lately.

So, with the server browser, what is the deal with there being no apparent friends list or anything? I've looked but there doesn't seem to be such functionality.
It's 2009, people, these are basic features!
Game came out in 2007 /sarcasm

It's been ages since I played a hardcore match but I enjoyed using the tube in HQ games. Whenever everyone's camped around a capture point the overpowered tube racks up kills like crazy.
Not from what I recall. What I did try is to backup my profile first, then see if that was the problem, when I saw the problem persisted I decided to try a re-install, and deleted all the remaining files before re-installing just to make it really clean.You said you backed up your profiles... Did you put them right back when you reinstalled?
Yes.Also, you run the game through Steam, right?
Maybe. But then this started a little while back, everything was fine before.Maybe that has something to do with it. D:
Nobody cares. Seriously.
