It seems like nothing, it still SUCKS! Why do you even have to get 150 kills to earn that? All it does is make your weapon worse by taking away all the acuracy. Come on more range but less acuracy? You can shoot just as far because you have so little acuracy on the weapon. ALso mabe the ability to hold your breath? Then it might be decent.

yea there are new killcams for claymores, airstrikes, grenades and C4's. they also fixed the host issues. Im pretty happy about the patch. they never mentioned "ACOG scope fixes". if you dont like it, dont use it. simple as that.

The grenade kill cams are pretty sweet. Last time I got one was with a frag that got so lucky, It almost made me cry from its perfection. The nade was placed so well, and bounced off just the right environments to kill me.

I haven't had an issue with the ACOG scope...there's certain guns I would never use it on though. I like it on my G3 and M14 and the new kill cams are really awesome. Now the people I kill with grenades can see my bank shots. One thing I didn't realize until yesterday was that you can throw a grenade at a guy and kill him without it blowing up. I did it yesterday and it gave the symbol it gives when you use a grenade launcher close range and hit a guy.

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know when the new maps from the contest are being released? I assume they are going to be on the 360 and not just the PC.

The ACOG scope just doesn't perform the way that it was intended and this is speaking as someone who has fired rifles with a red dot and ACOG. Half of COD4 (depending on what type of game mode you're playing) is CQB and in your face. The red dot really has a huge advantage here because there's less of a sight picture change when you aim and far less kick in the sight picture. The ACOG was meant for medium range engagements, but this is really where its usefulness breaks down. Because of the sight picture adjustment and the sway, it's much more difficult to line up a shot; where as the red dot doesn't move at all for most rifles. I've had far more success picking people off with a red dot than the ACOG, which should be the other way around. The only use I've really found for the ACOG is in the m16 on hardcore. The 3 round burst mitigates its more difficult sway since you only need 1 round to hit, and you get a little bit more magnification, which can be useful since matches in hardcore move more slowly and typically at greater ranges. That being said, I really wish the ACOG was a good optic and fairly portrays how great this sight is, but in COD4, it's just not good. Period.

-PS oh yea, a real ACOG has a red dot not that retarded triangle lollipop BS. If they changed that, the ACOG might be worth another look...

He's right people just love unloading full clips. ACOG is probably one of the better attachments if you know how to use it.

the ACOG adds a slight zoom at the cost of long distance accuracy. It slightly decreases the range of sniper rifles in exchange for a wider field of view. On Assault rifles, it gives you the ability to engage targets at a longer range since they appear large due to the magnification. If you can't use it, that's your problem because i'll be shooting holes in your head before you can even identify where i'm standing.As for the patch, the ACOG scope had issues with not hitting its target directly where the target reticule was. The patched fixed that.

Never really could understand the point of them ACOG scopes. i still get owned by them though. why the heck can't you hold your breath tho? it makes the ACOG a perfect waste of space on my attachment menu for my snipers. wish they had the one from campaign. kno what i'm talking about? that gun there owned.

Also slightly off-topic, why did they put in the night-vision goggles when there really isn't a level where you need it? i have never found a use for it, other than the "ha-ha, i owned you w/ the RPG with night vision on, ha-ha-ha"

Seriously now, folks.

I Loved this game, but every since the update it has been irritating the crap out of me. I jump off things I used to jump off of & now I die. I spawn countless times right in front of the enemy. Sometimes the enemy's name appears green & I don't shoot & they kill me & it's not on Hardcore. I can't use any of my fave weapons as good as I used too, specifically the SAW. I dominated with that gun & now I can't hit the side of a barn with it. P90 Vs Saw at a distance should be no contest, & yet I go down, never would have happened before. I just don't understand it.

Never doubt the power of the night vision, when i play cod4 in the afternoon & the sun's shining thru my bedroom window it makes vacant & wet work nearly impossible to spot enemies, even with my tv on its brightest, night vision is a life saver for me
