Forum:Call of Duty 4 Community Event

I assume it's about time we start planning for this event. It's been the idea all along, to work backwards, and we are finally at CoD 4, so we should get planning. 01:34, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Discussion
Please. Yes. Please. Yes. now. Give. me now. Yes. please. yes. now. 01:35, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Per Kat. 01:36, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

How about either April 28th or May 5th. Use of Mods will result in being kicked. 01:38, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't hate May 8th. I don't like April 28th for some reason. 01:39, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

I just rebought my CoD4, I want to see an event for Modern Warfare too. 17:50, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Please make it May 5th, 17:51, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

OMG I was thinking about this the other day. I think its an excellent idea, and per Kat (Enter the Survival Horror) 17:54, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, yes, yes, yes! 17:58, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

I'm willing to take part, but I can't be arsed to wait till May. 18:13, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Sure, although I'm only around Rank 5 due to hackers. Can we have one for Call of Duty 3 next? :P 19:26, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

I'm game if James is, not missing out like W@W. 19:28, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yay! I'll have to find my headset though. 19:46, April 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think enough users have CoD3. Conqueror of all Zombies 19:39, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Pity really. The multiplayer has a completely different feel to any of the other WWII era CoD games. 19:46, April 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh nonononono, we must do Call of Duty 2 before Call of Duty 3. I know many with CoD2 that don't own CoD3 anyways. 02:43, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * COD3 IS NOT FOR PC, REQUEST INVALID Shotrocket6 02:49, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

I'm actually down for this. I can set up a private server on the PC and we can enjoy some bots, if that's what's desired (it seems like everyone and their mother has CoD4 for PC). Shotrocket6 19:29, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't have it, but I'm sure I can actually legally acquire a game for once and play. 19:34, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll be with you. Do you know if  and   can by modified by server admins on private servers?  19:46, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know, but I'm going to say probably. Shotrocket6 21:04, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Can you make the settings for people who don't own COD4 PC legitmately can join the game ?Like me, I own MW2 and MW3, but COD4 is quite ... nah at the moment. 10:13, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Did you just ask if I could make it so you could play the game without having the game? Joe Copp 10:15, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

I hope I can attend this event... Conqueror of all Zombies 19:39, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Goddamn finally. Hope we can do it as soon as possible. Maybe April 30th? Commander Shepard: "You're just a machine, and machines can be broken!" 02:46, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sadly Mondays aren't usually great dates, I've been thinking the following weekend. 03:21, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't we usually shoot for Saturdays? Shotrocket6 03:24, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

How about a time during summer? We could generate a larger turnout like that and we would have ample time to plan, although it is kind of far-off. Maybe the first week of June or so, or the end of May. 05:15, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Maybe. Gonna have to hammer CoD4 on PS3 then so I at least get good weapons and perks. 11:01, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

I say we have it around mid-May, and it is an EXCELLENT idea. megusta WrightEveryTime 12:16, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

The sooner the better I say. Then we'll be able to do more events in the summer :D! 13:50, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Per N7 19:32, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

I say we do it May 5th. 21:34, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Let's add a quick scope match? Bolt-action only. 14:46, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I doubt the users of this Wiki are fans of quickscoping. We'll see when the time comes. 03:11, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Date
What date should we have the event on? I'm thinking May 12th. 01:40, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * 12th works, 1 day before my birthday. :P 01:44, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I say we go for April 14th or 21st. Commander Shepard: "You're just a machine, and machines can be broken!" 01:46, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thats WAAAAY too close to get all the names down and make a blog and get the users who don't frequent the WR to participate. 01:52, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm... Maybe the 28th, then? Commander Shepard: "You're just a machine, and machines can be broken!" 01:54, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Per DM below, we should narrow it down to MAy, if not early May. 01:57, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * May 12th or 19th, then?Commander Shepard: "You're just a machine, and machines can be broken!" 02:02, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

I feel like we should try shooting for May 5th or 12th. 01:47, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

For now, let's narrow down the time to May. Not too far away, and not too short either. 01:53, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

I'd go either for May 5th or May 12th. 02:27, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

I would definitely recommend shooting for the 5th. Not too far away, but enough time to get everything orchestrated. Joe Copp 02:30, April 10, 2012 (UTC) (I'm editing anonymously while my account is being renamed)

Why is there a DS category? 01:32, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * There is a Cod4 for DS, and I think some of our users play DS. 01:35, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, the numbers are staggering. 01:37, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Solution, ask Philly. He added the sign-up :3. 01:48, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Some of our users do play DS, such as Metlman13. Does it really hurt to list it? 01:55, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, because CoD4 for DS doesn't even have online multiplayer. Joe Copp 09:14, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just got told by Joe Copp. Ouch. 03:12, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Why do you think I never replied? ._. Self-Esteem -5 03:13, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Id like it to be a saturday in mid may, I think most of my finals should be done by then and ill be free for the most part, but considering only like 2% of this wiki is in college, this probably would not be likely to happen, but as long as its on a saturday or sunday, I should be free unless my grandparents plan something last minute like they did last community event -_- ... . Necromancer 115 03:29, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

So it seems we'll either be shooting for the 5th or the 12th. Does anyone know of any particular advantages to either date? We could simply see who's available for each weekend and then decide based solely on that number. Joe Copp 09:30, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

I could attend either, 5th is sooner, and we could easily hold it then. 11:29, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

I'd personally go for the 5th. TheDocRichtofen (  Talk  ) 13:46, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

I have no problem for either date, the 5th sounds fine (simply because it's sooner :D) 05:00, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

5th sounds good. 21:53, April 14, 2012 (UTC) The first Saturday of May. How's that? 08:59, April 15, 2012 (UTC)

Super Date
It seems after general consensus that we'll be having the event on May 5th, at the regular time (which I don't know off the top of my head). If anyone else has more suggestions, speak now. Joe Copp 01:06, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * 11:00 AM Pacific, which translates to...? 06:16, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Time conversion table. 07:29, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't mind it being two hours earlier, I don't really want to start at 9pm. 11:41, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd rather have it that we do it sooner rather than later. There is little to no "planning" that will take us 2 weeks. April 28, 19:00 UTC would do. I would also be unable to attend any Saturday event after April 28. 21:19, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd strongly recommend waiting until the 5th, so that everyone who sees the blog up until that point can play. The more people we can get to join us, the better; if we have it on the 28th, we won't have enough time to collect said users. Joe Copp 13:03, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Im sorry if this is now a dead topic, but are we actually going to make a blog post for this so people can enter? Or are we not doing this anymore. . Necromancer 115   06:44, April 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * We will as soon as we've made the decision on the date, for which discussion is still continuing. Also, if you want it earlier Bovell, we'd best move quickly. DrRichtofen  (  Talk  ) 09:59, April 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Allright, then i know we are most likely going for may 5th, but what about the week after that. It gives us time to get more members and plan out things better, considering the fact that if we made the community event post right now, we would only have 14 days to gather up people willing to play, which i think isnt alot.. Necromancer 115 MW Pickup Benelli M4.png  13:46, April 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Two weeks from now is the weekend of the 5th. Plus, we've already had two weeks collecting. Its likely we'll now have four, do we need more than that? DrRichtofen  (  Talk  ) 18:29, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Exams. 23:32, April 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * This is exam season, its gonna be difficult no matter what from now on. DrRichtofen  (  Talk  ) 09:06, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

Vote for date
As the date has been discussed for a while and for me it doesn't seem so clear what it'd be, I decided to put a vote. 15:57, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

May 5th

 * 1) Seems like the best option. 15:57, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) 28th is too close, 12th is too far. 16:05, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) Not too close, not too far. Leon S. Kennedy AKA Shepard 16:11, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) Best date. 17:16, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) Per all. 17:25, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 6) sounds good. 17:27, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 7) We really don't need much of a vote on this. Or, if we do, it needn't take long. DrRichtofen  (  Talk  ) 18:19, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

May 12th

 * 1) Most ideal time for me due to finals that week, and also gives us more time to gather more players for the event. . Necromancer 115 MW Pickup Benelli M4.png  17:19, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
