Episode 1: Benjamin Tzeng Sengoku covers leveling up, proper grenade usage and camping in Call of Duty 4.

[space reserved to discuss the stuff that didn't make it into the video, like FOV, console settings, short range ambush (more camping), and loadouts.]

If you have a tactic you want to share, or something you want to see in a future show, here's a good place for it.

Brilliant video, I won't lie, box map with a large machine gun and martyrdom is the best way to level like a pro, but I still feel dirty every time I do it (;

Any chance of getting a video of non-legitimate tactics, such as map exploits and spawn camping?

Favourite quote: "This scene is intense, not as in saving Private Ryan intense, but as in epileptics should not watch this scene intense."

P.S. a link to the video may be useful so I stuck the link here

I don't have much to add. except that I loved this! Keep up the awesome work with all the videos!

"Um, because those are obvious?" says Rob, as he checks his blind spots and round the corner with the sights.

Sorry for the delay.

I did not cover those things, not because they are too simple, but because they are too advanced.

Most of your other suggestions involve moving with other people. We have not covered moving individually yet. Coordinated movement needs to come after that.

In your average public server, the limit of people’s tactical grasp right now is, “Hey everyone! Rush down the left side!”

You have, of course noticed, that none of the techniques I described in this video require aiming.

This is DELIBERATE.

We have not covered the fundamental skill of aiming yet. Of spotting a target, lining it up in your sights, adjusting for movement/lag, and then taking the shot.

With a significant amount of America's Army Online in my background, I actually prefer hardcore tactical mode, friendly fire on.

I did not want to cover hardcore before I covered softcore.

So, the criteria for what makes it on screen: It must be visually interesting, or it would be an article instead. It must be something tried and known to be effective. It should be specific to that game.

The things that we did not have time to fit in, that I wanted to was field of view adjustments, also, how the COD 4 game engine tries to prevent spawn camping, and how you can use it to your advantage.

But there were sound problems with that footage.

This was our first try at this show. If I am granted the privilege of continuing this series, we may put on the kind of show you're talking about.
