How to make a Time Demo in CoD4
Welcome Soldiers.
Many of you will want to use CoD4 to run a Benchamrk, expecially if you're about to get or borrow a new video card.
Here's how to make your own custom Benchmark/Timedemo and how to run it.
Make sure you can open the console within the game (it's an option in the menu)
Join a multiplayer game, preferably one you like and know.
1) Press ~ to open console.
2) type this /record MYDEMO-150409
you can change MYDEMO-150409 to whatever you want.
so I used /record ZAK33FIRSTGO
(don't use spaces in the name)
Play for several minutes.. the size of the file shows "in game" so dont be shy. I played for 3 minutes, and its my style of game play, so relevent to ME.
Leave the server and the recording will finish automatically.
The demo is then created in a file that is as much use as a chocolate fireguard.
It's in Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\main\demos
Copy demos folders into
Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\Mods\ModWarfare\demos
you gotta trust me on this
Then boot game, choose MODS, and then the game with reload as Mod Warfare, and then
bring down console with ` key
and type timdemo thenameofyourdemo
You'll find it tried to autocomplete it for you. Carry on typing, hit return when done.
The time demo will run :D
When finished (it's gonna be a long demo, done as fast as possible by your PC) press SHIFT and the ` key together for the extended console and scroll right down to bottom of text file, and look for FPS
And that's your average FPS :D
Now change card or settings and do it again.

Nothing wrong with being sneaky, at least you weren't running around with dead silence on :P
I've no idea how you can use the UZI though I really can't aim with that :)

I often DO use Deadsilence, with a silenced Uzi :) and UAV jammer.
I love the Uzi, BECAUSE I can't aim when I'm up close. Spray and Pray :)

Tsk tsk! What about when you're up against someone from far :P
Re: How to make a Time Demo in CoD4
An Uzi, on Hardcore, will take people out from a fair way.
But I agree, I'm a silenced M4 man most of the time.
Hence that weapon in the latter part of the demo :) with Claymores

You're everything that my regular server's players hate :D
I rarely see those weaps as I'm more of a Search and Destroy player. Still was good to see the demo.
Oh yes the command to see your fps is /cg_DrawFPS 1
Set /com_MaxFPS to something like 250 as well so you can see where the fps maxes out in your demo/timedemo and after that set your maxfps back as some servers don't like if you use 250 fps and may kick you.

I can only play fast if I've had 3 gallons of black coffee, and played for 6 hours straight. I'm just not fast enough for the bunny hopping, super strafers.
As you can see from the time demo, when I come out of the stair well, into the open, nose to nose with a bloke who simply out strafes me.
Happens a lot. Tbh I prefer it when people tell me to stop it... then I know I'm getting on theirt tit's, just like their bunny hopping antics do my head in.

Yeah that's annoying too. Funnily enough I never used to bunny hop when I had no idea what it was, then when it was explained to me I just can't stop the habit of pressing that space bar when running about.
Maybe it's the evil inside me doing that :laugh:
