These lazy fucks would let the perks do the killling "oh my increased accuracy on hip shots with more bullet damage raped you n00b"
The last few times I played the game online before I sold it was the most frustrating shit ever because of these fuckheads.

Tactics only matter is the battle is equal. Gun vs. gun, tank vs. tank. When we're talking airstrike vs. knife, tactics go out the window in favor of common sense.
I've played COD4 for about 2 weeks, total. Most of them were around Xmas time frame, and then I picked up the game again 2 weeks ago. Amazingly, I still was leading the rooms I was in. Why? I know how to play the game. It's the same reason I get my ass handed to me in Halo, I don't know how to play the game.
The game is surprisingly balanced, with a few exceptions. While the P-90 can and will kill you by getting shot in the foot, it's only lethal out to an arm's distance. If you're getting killed by the P-90, the problem is you're letting them get within range to begin with. If you're not good at close-quaters battle, then don't put yourself in that situation. If you feel like clearing houses, you better be damn quick on the trigger and accurate, or I'll destroy you.
The perks and weapon choices need to support your style of play. If you're getting mad because you can't kill someone who is in the game room with you hip-firing, it's because he chose perks to support his style of play and you did not.
Learn the system, beat the system.
