This week on BASH, Jock invites Justin DeMara, aka prank`, Team Pandemic’s world-reknowned CoD sniper on the program.

- What is it like to snipe in the post-patch v1.3 environment?

- What sniper rifle should you select for competitive play?

- What perks should the competitive sniper select?

Another CoD modding great joins us on BASH this week. None other than BASHandSlash.com Call-of-Duty Hall of Fame modder: Bullet-worm.

Bullet-worm has come on the program to talk a little about himself, his gaming interests and especially about the new version of the competition mod for Call of Duty, PAM.

Initially begun by BASH webcast regular, Garetjax, the PAM mod has been spruced up by Bullet-worm and readied for Modern Combat.

If you are new to Call of Duty, find out what the Project Ares Mod (PAM) is all about and why you will need to know it, if you decide to play competitively.

This year, Bullet-worm was nominated to the CoD Hall of Fame for his work in CoD2; namely, for making the IW checksum workaround, without which we would have had to play CoD2 on very limited modded servers and very few maps.

He has continued modding in CoD4 and is providing the community with an updated PAM mod.

The interview was conducted only one day after Bullet-worm released the beta version to server admins. He had just done an all-nighter to get it finished and was nice enough to come on BASH to tell all of you what PAM is all about.

If you are a modder, scripter, competitive player …or just like scrimming in CoD4, listen to this interview!

the creator of PAM, Uber-modder, Garetjax.

Our topic?

The issue of competitive gaming in the Call of Duty 4 environment.

Is CoD4 suitable for tournament style gaming?

Tournament gamers are looking for tactical, purposeful gaming, can CoD4 deliver?

Can the game be used stock, as is, albeit with a PAM-like interface?

Do Chopper and airstrikes have any place in tournament play?

Is the sniper an endangered CoD4 species?
