Im sure a few of you have been online with COD4 and caught this from time to time. Its pretty clear even if you just hear it. How can someone shoot that fast? How in the hell can they reload the pistol faster than you? This is how.
I actually like this controller. Not for cheating at COD4 but I really like the option of on controller button changes and not limited software only button changes. I also really like the idea of having buttons under the grips on the 360.
Want to make one yourself? Head here to acis mods and start breaking shit.
If this is just a key macro device, then yes this could be patched out, because it just means some bit of programming is borked that lets you do this by hitting a key sequence super fast.
I remember having 3rd party controllers for almost every system up to the gamecube having the macro recorder. Even before that, there was the start button spam macro to get "slow mo" effects. Eventually all games just had a pause sequence so that it'd suck to use that. Just like here, eventually games will start to realize that buttons cannot be pushed above certain speeds.
this has huge potential to make annoying rpg play throughs alittle bit easier, i will just go a head and state even in the description of the video, any use of this on another without consent is cheating and/or rape depending on how bad it is.
It's a good idea for any fps, it sucks when you have to let go of a stick to jump, reload, or even speak(for those shitty games that make you press a button).
It's beyond my comprehension why anyone would go to this much trouble to cheat at an online game, especially something like CoD 4. Then again, whilst I've never been that fussed about winning matches I know folks that tear their hair out and smash controllers in blind fits of rage when they lose.
Hopefully IW will patch this exploit out, similarly to the many firing/reloading exploits that used to exist in Counter-Strike. That'll leave some rather miffed cheaters with pointless controller mods.

about me
If you want to know whats going on with me outside of gaming, I now keep a Tumblr blog and plan to write on it pretty often. Everybody says that though. Follow me on Twitter

Look I drink...
Name: Ron
Age: 99 According to Myspace which never lies
Location: Sarasota, Florida. USA America
Me: I was born and raised a small black child in Kantucky. I don't remember what I did there aside from drink. I was an only child, so I didn't want to be a virgin forever so I packed up everything on my horse, kissed my coon dog, turned white, and headed to Florida. I have worked in a few different tech industries for companies like Apple Microsoft, Sun, and actually owned a business installing high end home theaters and networks.
I enjoy playing video games, fuckin, racist comments, drinking, making fun of NamelessTed, funny cblog posts, drinking, bashing Paris Hilton every chance I get (She is a dumb whore!) and flea market porno.
I have been in a few Mexican Cockfights and have done some awesome shit concerning video games, but its just not going to change me. Im just a guy that loves gaming. Its always going to be that way. I might have a solid gold house and a rocketcar, but all I need is this community, booze, games, mouse, and I'll be fine. Look for me on the new season of "Cops"

Nice mod either way. Surely doesn't help me get the game any quicker though. Also where the hell is the D-Pad mod? I'm waiting for that.
