The plane kill cam is a welcome addition but not as nice as you'd think. It just shows the cluster bomb opening a good 50 ft above you, then all of a sudden explosions riddle the ground around you as you die. The grenade one is great though, first time I saw it I stopped playing cause I laughed too hard. The grenade flew towards me as I was strafing, then when it landed I started running away but it blew up and killed me. 
I don't remember if the grenade launcher has a kill cam, but that would be funny too.
What JJ said happened to me in a game, the host left or something then the game ended and it instantly started up a new game in a different map, no chance of a vote or anything.... the game just ended and it went to the map loading screen. Everyone was saying "wtf" for a few seconds, but life went on.
I like how sniping is more accurate... I usually don't care for sniping unless I wanna mix it up from the usual run-and-gun but now its pretty fun sniping a moving target. Still not unbalanced, sniping on some maps is nearly impossible of course and as long as you don't run around in the open you're safe. And people need to use smokes more often.....

The next time you connect to Xbox Live and pop in Call of Duty 4 you'll be treated to an auto-update with the new patch. This patch, which has been a long time coming, makes several significant additions and modifications that will be quickly noticed when playing online.
Most important is the addition of host migration. When playing a game, if the host quits, the game pauses, a new host is assigned and the game resumes. This is a vast improvement over the original system, which simply kicked everyone out into individual lobbies.
Kill cams have been added to pretty much every tool of death. This includes air strikes and grenades. Now you can watch the bomb drop from a plane and land on your head.
An upgraded spectator cam allows you to switch between third- and first-person views. You can also rotate the camera in third-person view.
The most significant gameplay change affects those who like killing from long range. Infinity Ward had heard complaints that sniper shots were inaccurate. After doing some research, IW discovered that, indeed, sniper shots were not as precise as they should be. Expects snipers to be more deadly online. ACOG scopes also got a tweak.
A complete list of patch fixes is forthcoming. We'll update this story when it becomes available.

All you guys are asking where everyone's at but I never see anyone online. If anyone at all I see JJ. But he's always off playing his hardcore team deathmatch.
I'm also starting to use the M14 rifle and the Mini Uzi. I used to always use the G8 in R6V, it sounded bad ass and the M14 reminds me of it.

I'm between moves... I'm going to hook up the XBox360 later today, hopefully I won't have any problems with the internet... But, if I ever join one of the AZ people in a middle of a match and it's Seek and Destroy... I just back out.... cuz I hate it... (probably because I suck at it)

Hardcore search and destroy is the SHIT!
A lot of times I setup my claymores then fall back. Then I will be the last person alive, 3 people left on their team. 2 get taken out by my claymores and I wait in the middle of the map, when he plants the bomb rush him.

Claymores last as long as it takes for you to respawn, not die.
So if you set two claymores, die in S&D your claymores stay till the round is over and respawn for the next round. Just like in Hardcore Teamdeath match when you take 15 seconds to respawn your claymores sit there, I have killed people waiting to respawn.

I can't play S&D especially after going from R6V to Halo 3 to COD4. Plus I play Team Deathmatch and Domination mostly so going from ultra fast-paced sprinting whenever you move to going slowly is just not my style, can't get used to it.

The funniest thing is when you jump head first into the middle of a fire fight then run away to take cover/reload and some guy sprints after you to stab you in the back, but you turn around and shoot him dead. I did that twice today, and the other day a teammate saw me do that and he was laughing.
Pretty embarrassing if that happens to you though. It seems whenever you aim right at the guy and you melee, you do a stabbing motion instead of a swinging one and do a lunge at him Halo style but its so much easier to miss. I try to aim at people's feet and then aim upwards as I'm slashing so I have a better chance of taking the guy down. Am I on crack or is it just me?

Don't remember if I did, and don't remember if I did after checking. Or did you deny it?

The kill-after-death perks like claymores, Last Stand and Martyrdom are funny. Start playing again dude... you were pretty much the only AZ member I played R6V with.

I'm looking forward to RSV-2... you can run double time on it! I just hate how the "B" button is throwing a grenade, where as "B" button is crouch on COD4... it just throws me off... (among other confusing differences)

Aw man just had the biggest let down.
Playing hardcore search and destroy...
1st round, get killed by an RPG (we lose that round with their whole team intact) I get pissed and tell the guy I am getting him back
2nd round, I clean up the entire team! killed all 5 myself with an MP5 (get an airstrike)
3rd round, Kill 3 guys with the airstrike then kill the last 2 myself (get another airstrike)
4th round, Put the airstrike on the wrong side, only kill one guy, get killed early (my team sucks and doesnt kill a single person) We lose that round
5th round, get killed by another RPG, my team sucks, again only 2 guys on their team get killed (we lose)
6th round, I get 2 kills, get killed, the rest of my team again sucks balls (we lose)
7th round, I fall back, they kill all but 2 guys, I am last man standing, they plant the bomb, I throw smoke and get shot in the face
We lose
I get 1275 points
Still pissed we lost, fuck I hate getting stuck on a noob team

I like knifing people while I'm on my last stand.... they either don't see me after they shoot me or something and run up to me, get stuck with my body in the way, then I knife em. I've only done it once or twice though, funny but its too hard to do unless its a newbie

has this ever happened to you?
last night I had a flash bang thrown at me and it REALLY HIT ME, I couldn't see straight for a good 20 seconds after the effects had stopped on the game. It was crazy...even a few minutes later my vision still hadn't come back...it was like someone had actually thrown a flash bang at me!!
I need to stop playing this game

Also if youre close you can peg someone with the grenade launcher. It won't explode but it takes them out in 1 shot
