I've been playing Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare on Xbox 360 quite a lot lately. I'm sure you all know from personal experience (or have read in the zillions of reviews on the web) just how fantastic this game is. So I won't bore you with yet another COD4 mini review. Although I am mostly getting M21-whipped by 14-year olds, I have managed to progress up through the ranks and obtain new perks, with Last Stand being my favourite. Last Stand enables you to remain alive (but immobile) for a short time after being 'killed', so that you can exact some pistol-revenge on the enemy who assaulted you. Maybe I'm just sick, but I can't help laughing each time I put a few 9mm rounds into an overzealous enemy who thinks they're about to finish me off. Last Stand, however, pales into insignificance compared to the tastefully-named Martyrdom perk. Martyrdom, as I have found out numerous times, causes the enemy you have just slaughtered to drop a live grenade next to their corpse. I fall for it every time, with the grenade exploding just as it dawns on me that I should run away. It's pretty awesome actually, except for the fact that I don't have the perk yet.

Call of Duty 4: Martyrdom is fun
BTW, why am I having trouble getting a decent connection when playing COD4? Occasionally I get green bars, but usually they are yellow or orange. This doesn't help when fending off the hordes of juveniles with P90s, red-dot sights, and the ability to see around corners. The joys of Australian broadband maybe?

hhmmmm, I'm thinking I better hurry up and buy an xbox.
Dude, were in Australia.
We truely dont have much chance when an American is hosting - around 95% + of the time i have a single, solitary red bar, its pathetic. I have the best broadband that my area can get (old part of the city).
The best bet is to train with lag. I have had CoD 4 for around 7 months or so now, and can play allmost as well as when in full green.
You eventaully get used to it... but you will still get to many "WTF!" moments, where you unloaded a clip into a foe and on the death-cam you didnt fire a shot. :(
If only they had a TF2-style screen where you could see your connection quality before joining a game... that would solve everything!
