I haven't played Call of Duty 4 for the past few days but I'm really eager to check out the new alterations the patch has made. I'm hearing that the new enhanced KillCam is a heck of a lot better this time round.

Thanks for the update, DD.

Free-for-all physics are crazy now. When they say rag doll, they really mean it.

That Airstrike and Claymore cam would be hilarious, still worries me when i hear that ominous click just before a claymore goes off.

I played a normal Search and Destroy just to see some of these new cameras and I got to the claymore camera. It starts from when the person put it down and then it follows your character as you walk by them before you explode.

Yeah dont worry it happens a lot, least you get to watch it in all its glory i guess. Also the fact that your own gets witnessed too is good enough for me. Only problem is i play hardcore most the time so dont get a killcam.

Same here, I really can't stand the other games modes since they aren't very realistic at all.

Yeah, having to put nearly a clip in someone before they die is annoying on other modes.
