I lied it's downturn that I don't like!

A lot of people complain about this one or at least that is what i have seen on some COD MW3 forums.

I forgot to add that one to my list, not the worst, but not a huge fan either.

[Blak Smyth]

I feel for you Andy...been there, done that. I'm looking to get my system and---up and running in the next month or 2.
We could make our own "Special Education Squad"---S.E.S. for specially challenged players. :r

Does this look like a good deal? Here (http://www.walmart.com/ip/19716608?povid=cat482412-env193369-moduleB010212-lLink1SuperPOVXbox3604GBBundle#ProductDetail)

Thanks for any advice.

If you do get an Xbox, you can run with me and Andrew when he is able.:tu I think 357 is my friend now too.


Alot of people are bashing dome, and I understand why but that map is great for run'n'gun style. Yesterday on a game of Team Tactical TDM I went 44-10 and never stopped moving, it was fun because run'n'gun is not my typical play style.
I don't know why but COD Elite doesn't seem to show your kills if they where in the kill cam. It shows 42 but it was actually 44 (Double kill in the kill cam wasn't counted on Eilte).

I hate Outpost and Downturn. My favorite is Lockdown. When I play that map, I usually always have a 2:1 K:D ratio.

Yep, I added a bunch of CA inmates as Xbox Live friends. MY Live ID is M3a5g7. It's blend of 357 Mag as I couldn't find any other derivative of 357 that wasn't taken.

I jumped into a couple games you were in. I remember you killing me a few times. I still suck. I'm such a run-n-gunner. I'm trying to learn. I had one of my best nights a couple days ago.

I didn't even notice. I can't really focus on things like enemy names while playing. I played a game the other night against Andrew and didn't realize it was him until the very last kill.
Like I always say, it's not about how good of a player you are, it's about how good of a team player you are that matters.

Way to bash me :r On a side note it's Saturday and I'll be on sometime after 9pm when my son and parents head to bed. Get a little trigger time and hopefully on the same team so you down own me :D

I did jump in one the other day and went 5-1 before the match ended. So I'm slightly improving. I seem to do better when I take things slower and don't just rush in and get shot.

Best advice...be a team, move as a team, shoot as a team and win as a team. Run and gun as a team is also + :2

[LasciviousXXX]

Partied too hard last night so I'll be staying home and chilling this evening. I'll be on tonight around 7pm AZ time with my nephew if anyone wants to get a game or two in.

I'm terrible when it comes to cognitively making parties when I'm not in one...I'll make an effort when I'm not in party to party with CA members.

[Superbad]

My Xbox 360 died the other night, as soon as I have my new one, I will start adding CA brothers to play MW3 with.

On XBL I am "FreekiTiki"

[Starscream]

I'm starting to get a better feel for the game and enjoy it much more. I started this month with a .13 KDR and it's slowly but surely coming up. I'm at a .61 for the week. Getting a feel for the maps and using the MP9 Akimbo as a secondary have upped my kills a lot.

[chippewastud79]

Anyone playing the two new maps? I am pretty confident I will not be getting any more map pack maps, as there was one map in the last 5 map packs that was worth paying for. Just wondering if anyone was paying the $50 a year for map packs and already played the first two. :hm

I am wondering the same. $50 isn't chump change for me...figured I'd just pick them up when they go on sale on the live marketplace...like they always do.

[Blak Smyth]

I didn't play the new maps, but I will tonight.
I am looking forward to new maps, they keep me interested in COD.
I have a COD Elite membership so my DLC maps are included, I debated for a while if it was worth it but I would have purchased the maps anyways I am sure..

[LasciviousXXX]

Freakin' Xbox live getting the DLC before PS3. Ugh.... I hate that.

Supposedly some patches went down yesterday. I haven't noticed any difference playing on ps3. Akimbo weapons were supposedly reduced by 50% fire rate. No difference that I have noticed playing though.

The have added some elements to certain multiplayer maps on XBox 360. I noticed it most on bootleg. Its mostly signs and some cover from above, to avoid missles and airstrikes maybe? :hm

[Blak Smyth]

So I tried the new maps last night, I like them. Piazza is a fun Run'n'gun map, lot's of death. The other map is fun too but these are completly different, but thats good. I like variety, hoping to play them more tonight. I noticed a few people glitching/laging last night, I hope this isnt a new commonality.

[LasciviousXXX]

I had a crazy bad headache all day yesterday. Finally gave in around 10pm and took a percocet. Played the best games I've ever played. I'm generally a 1.2 KD average. Last night I was going 23-4 and 19-3 on some games. And this was pretty consistently for the best part of 2+ hrs. Craziest damn thing.

[LasciviousXXX]

Haha! I have no idea why it would help but I was sniping and changing tactical positions like it was 2nd nature. On Dome I went 20-2... on DOME! Its damn near impossible to not get killed a bunch of times in that map. My favorite though is I discovered a new sniping position on top of an umbrella in Arkaden completely by accident :D

[LasciviousXXX]

No not that one. The one in front of that one by the entrance to the stairs. I fell out of the window onto the first one and had no idea you could strafe jump to the other one. Racked up like 5 kills there before moving on. Crazy fun!

Oh sweet, never seen anybody on that one. Actually I didn't even know there was another one there:tu

[DPD6030]

Sounds like I need to get my game on.

[Starscream]

I think it would be cool if we had a CigarAsylum clan for the PS3 (one for the 360 too). I don't know how to create one though, maybe b/c I only use the free version of Elite. Anyone game?

[hammondc]

Ehhh....it is just as easy to have everyone that wants to be in the group change their clan tag to CACF or something similar.

[chippewastud79]

Had my 51 game win streak broken by some noob clowns the other night :bh

Split screening morons who wouldn't stop running into bullets, one was 8-15 the other 7-17 and we lost by three. Then proceeded to rail off another 12 straight. :td

I've made big improvements in the last few weeks. I went from a .13 the first week to a .32 overall. this week's stats alone have me at above a .6 kdr.

[montecristo#2]

Alright, I have something to confuse.

I am a camper with a gold sniper rifle and I do not give a sh*t that it pisses people off. :D :r

I went out an bought the new Turtle Beach X32 headset and so far I am pretty happy. They are not surround sound, but the sound quality is good.

I finally have my kdr up to 0.6 and over the past two sessions I have been closer to 1.4-1.5. I had my best game today going 22-6 in Dome. I love Dome, it is a campers paradise. I know 0.6 is not impressive, but when you start at 0.2 and have 1000s of deaths it takes a while to improve on the ratio.

I think the headset is helping as I am more in tune with the game. I can hear footsteps but that does not really help all that much yet.

I am finally playing assault killstreaks and I am now addicted to care packages.

I also love it when you kill someone and their mic opens up so that you can hear them for a couple of seconds. Boy do people hate campers with sniper rifles. :D :r

Makes me smile even more when they start cursing me out.

[Zeuceone]

i dont see how "camping" is bad. people who suck are usually the ones who complain.

Camping snipers just means a free kill for me =D

[chippewastud79]

Camping snipers just means a free kill for me =D

Campers are easier to find, but I will camp my ass off and listen to people whine about dying for running into my bullets. Only people who lose games complain about campers. I'll take my 2.5 win ratio and 1.7 K/D and you can whine about camping all you want. :D

[LasciviousXXX]

I don't think tactical camping is in itself a bad thing. I mean come on, as a sniper, what the hell else are you supposed to do? No one is going to run-n-gun with an RSASS. The best players, IMO of course, are those who do a combination of tactical sniping (camping) and are constantly changing positions. Its what I try and emulate in my gameplay. Ghillie suit + sniper rifle + 2-3 kills in one spot = get your ass up and move to a different spot. Grab a few more kills in that one and then keep moving.

:2

[ucubed]

I don't really whine when I play and I don't mind the camping, I'll get them regardless =P

[LasciviousXXX]

That's because you are freakin' FANTASTIC at this game you bastage :lr

I always envy that K-D ratio of yours. And you're not even trying to keep it up LOL

I do hate being sniped and I do complain about camping at times. I don't have a headset or a mic so, at least you can't actually hear me. :D I would argue that camping requires less skill. Moving, avoiding enemy fire, while keeping your aim on a moving target, and being faster at it than your opponent requires much more skill. Camping requires only knowledge of the map and 1 or 2 killzones that you can sit with your rifle pointed at.

Just my :2

That said, MW3 is setup fairly well to prevent the impenetrable camping locations. Most all points on the map can be attacked from 3 directions. However, there are exceptions.

Campers who work as a team with run-n-gunners who will keep them from being flanked are especially effective.

Are you a true sniper in the game or have you just learned the art of quickscoping? You can pretty much run and gun with a sniper rifle if you've learned the art of quickscoping.

Not to my knowledge. There are plenty of youtube tutorials on how to quickscope. I'm not good enough to be good with it, but I can get a few kills on my son in a two-player match by quickscoping. Borderline cheating using aim assist. Technically it's not cheating, since the developers have been aware of this for some time in multiple COD games and have done nothing to fix this glitch, but a lot of people consider it cheap. I'm not judging those who do, was just curious. I'd love to get good at quickscoping.:)

Am I understanding this right? You use the zoom/scope function to auto-correct your aim, then pull the trigger a tenth of a second later?

If so, how can the developer's ignore this? After watching those videos it seems like there is no skill in quickscoping.

It's been around for multiple COD games and the developers seems to see it as a legit strategy. And it takes some skill to get it down. Enemies still have to be inside your hipfire crosshairs when you press the scope function. I can't quickscope for shyte.:D

Well you actually have to be on target, but it's easy to get used to. Just remember where the center of your screen is and try and keep your gun leveled so they are always a chest shot. You can place like a small piece of tape in the middle of your screen/tv or a small dot sticker or something to practice, then it's all about timing.

[chippewastud79]

Just reminded myself why I only play Hardcore. Regular is absolutely terrible, there is no strategy, just run around and shoot, hope you hit someone, snipers are worthless, grenades are worthless, claymores are worthless. :td

I agree. I played regular yesterday for a bit and wanted to thrown the controller through the TV. Plus, the above mention quickscopers absolutely drive me nuts.

[Blak Smyth]

I don't like HC. I think it is too easy to kill. I don't have an issue with the snipers, even the great ones still don't win games. I was playing against some pretty good snipers yesterday and they lost. They just about broke even with KDR, snipers don't win games IMHO. I am not a sniper, QSing is hard to do, I tried and couldn't be consistent enough to use it in games I want to win. HC has always had more of an issue with nube toobs than nonHC has with snipers IMO. I have a member in my clan who is the best QSr I have seen and he still isn't as much of a threat as some of us other members with SMGs and ARs.

I have not played infected yet, is it like the Halo gametype?
One person is infected and he tries to infect all the other players?

Hardcore is more 'realistic', don't need an entire clip to kill someone, the assault rifles are more powerful than machine pistols, grenades kill when they land next to you, no constant radar, no seeing where you got shot from, no health regeneration. :2

Snipers can definitely win games if the team is working together. Finished last night on Seatown, went 26-1 with a sniper rifle and gave away my 3 care packages. Certain maps I will take 4-6 snipers on my team vs. runners and noob tubers and your team might not get to 2000 points. Had a few games last night like that, held one team to 1700 and one to 1800. Seatown, Fallen, Interchange, Bakaraa, put your snipers in the right spots and you can dominate. :tu

I don't like HC for the reasons you mentioned. I don't want my video game to be that realistic, I want it to play well.
I feel skill is not as inportant in HC, anybody can finish a kill with any weapon very easily. These are just my preferences of course, I am not saying one is better than the other, just I don't prefer HC personally.
Are you on Xbox? I would love to play against you guys sometime.

And I was talking about snipers against my squad. Sorry for the confusion, I wasn't saying snipers never win games, they just don't seem to win against us. It sounds like you guys have some impressive wins there.

I pretty much only play HC for the same reasons that Larry mentioned.

As far as this goes sniper class + trophy system seems to fix this problem. Also, I use my claymore and trophy system as diversions more than I use them to protect me. They draw a players gaze away from my potential sniping spot so they don't see me clip them from behind as they're too busy either avoiding my claymore or running 100ft away from me to destroy the trophy system. That's my strategy anyway.

[hammondc]

+1. The group I play with always uses trophy. EVERYONE. We set them up all over.

I really have not encountered the noobtoob madness of the past though.

[Blak Smyth]

I really like the trophys also, I have just begun using them and they have saved my ass many times. I use the MK14 & trophy when on defense but I love to RNG, I am a slayer when not doing a "team game". I can hard scope well but never got good at QSing.

[ucubed]

I dislike Hardcore only because I think it's quite dumb to be able to kill someone with a USP if I shot them in the foot twice. Coupled with the fact that the registry is horrendous and the hit boxes lag behind the enemy, it makes hardcore just dumb.

Only played a HALO a handful of times, but I suppose so. There was 1 game with 18 juggernauts vs 2 with strikers...it's quite insane

I dislike Hardcore only because I think it's quite dumb to be able to kill someone with a USP if I shot them in the foot twice. Coupled with the fact that the registry is horrendous and the hit boxes lag behind the enemy, it makes hardcore just dumb.


The biggest reasons I dislike regular are, constant radar, you can see where you got shot from, no explosive damage. If they had a game mode where it took more bullets to kill, but got rid of the rest of the crap, I would be fine with it, but there is just no strategy in regular because you know right where you got shot from previously. :rolleyes:

I like those features, helps to keep people from sitting in the same spot all game. I love the hud too. I run UAV as my only perk and get it 5-10 times per game of TDM so I almost always have a UAV up. I know what you mean though. I think they should have a special game type designed for snipers and one designed without snipers, would settle alot of the complaints.

but there is just no strategy in regular because you know right where you got shot from previously. :rolleyes:

This requires a different type of strategy, you have to be active and move. You can't sit there picking off approaching enemies. Playing HC and holding down a half of the map requires far less strategy INHO than having an aggresive plan of attack. It doesn't take much to say sit here and ADS that doorway and shoot whoever comes through it. Man we gotta play against each others squads, what is your GT?

Oh and this is very funny:
"If we weren't supposed to eat animals, then how come they're made of meat?"

FATTY70

I know plenty of guys who run and gun, some more successful than others. The two best players I have ever seen happen to be on my friends list, one only plays HC and has a K/D around 3.1 I believe, the other plays everything from Domination to Search to Capture the Flag, Regular or HC and his K/D overall is 2.97 and he screws around with only knives and hand guns, its crazy. Strictly on Domination his K/D ir probably near 9.0-10.0, just stupid good, like 60-0, 54-1 back to back games. :jd

I guess I am of the theory that the idea of the game is not to die, rather than running around and getting a few kills and then getting shot. I would much rather go 9-1 than 20-18. Dying is not fun, watching people run into my sniper bullets is fun. :2

[mariogolbee]

If everyone just sat in one place waiting for others to come to them then nobody would get shot and it would be VERY BORING.

Snipers supporting their team = :tu

Snipers as a one-man-army just picking people off = :td

I do enjoy HD and regular games. I loved CTF HC. In CTF HC you can't just run around all of the time (unless you are the runner), but you can't constantly camp either. It reminds me of the older HD TDM where folks weren't really camping or running around, but moving slowly with caution, but they were MOVING.

Holy cow, those guys should be pro?!?
I used to be the same way about going 9-1 sniping but I just got bored and needed to satisfy my ADD by running around. Trust me I hate Run'n'gun type players because 95% don't do it well. My best KDR game so far was 37-1, the most fun I had on Dome was 44-10 run'n'gun on TDM. I only recently started playing well, took a long time for me to adjust from Black Ops. Not sure why. But now I am pretty much always top three on the board with a decent KDR. When BO first came out I had a squad many would have called campers but we did a good job holding down areas. I just get to bored waiting for the enemy to come to me. We won 65 straight CTF games in Black Ops. Unfotunatly a couple people I used to roll with play Gears3 now.
I have a couple friends in my clan well over 2.0 KDR and one around 3.0 but he is a KDR whore. I could easily have a high KDR if I worked on it, but like I said I get to impatient. Right now my favorite gametype is team tactical, I feel it is the best judge of skill and tactics due to a more one on one environment compared to guys running around from all directions in TDM.

[Blak Smyth]

The one guy who plays everything probably could, he has his sensitivity on 10, runs with the most made-up classes you have ever seen and just knifes people and tears other teams apart. On Modern Warfare 2 he would have AC 130's nearly every game. Now he rolls with the assault drones, AC 130's and Reapers. :gary

The other guy is probably the best HC Team Deathmatch player because he is patient and puts himself in great spots. Honestly, he puts his kill streaks way too low and could have much more devastating kill streaks as he usually goes thru them twice without dying. :2

Although, another member here spent a night drinking with a guy who does play pro and heard of some of his exploits. His K/D was well over 5.0 and his team played in a recent tournament and was something like 283-0 for the rounds or whatever tactical games they were playing. So the gap between really good online players and 'pro' players is a little steeper than we suspect. :jd

A KDR with 3+ doesn't mean you play a lot..it means you are good.

I play a lot and don't even have half of that KDR.lol

[Blak Smyth]

I always thought they should introduce a rating system into COD that would be more true. Something that would combine KDR & Score Per Minute for TDM? It is easy for me to sit back and get a few kills with little to no deaths but to have a high KDR and a high SPM combined would be a better gauge of how good a player is IMO.

The part of KDR that is confusing and misleading in TDM is it shouldn't be about KDR it should be about the KDS (Kill/Death Spread).
A person who goes 9-1 with a +8 KDS is less valuable than a player who goes 25-10 with a +15 KDS. Does this make sense or am I just crazy? I think they should have a stat that measures KDS! Thoughts? Obviously we are not changing anything here, just talking about things that may never happen.

[macsauce13]

Have you guys played infected yet? I am obsessed. It is such a cool gametype. It has been on Halo for awhile, but just made it to COD.

I played two games and did well on the first one and had fun.
On the second game I was infected by a throwing knife right away and spent the rest of the game running into a corner of the map that the survivors held down and it was imposible to get to them. It was rediculous. Killed the game type for me.

Yah sorry, I wasn't saying he isn't good. I wasn't trying to comment on him at all. I was talking about how KDR is perceived and that it isn't a realistic stat to determine somebodys skill. I wasn't trying to say he isn't good, sorry if it came off that way.
he would prolly score sky high on my suggested rating system then and it would be a better gauge I believe.

[LasciviousXXX]

I played a bit last night and did absolute sh*te. Usually I do fairly well but I was having an off night. Kept getting killed by a 3 man run-n-gun team that attacked simultaneously from different directions. Ugh

Oh man that sucks, I forgot you don't have them yet.
I really like both maps. Alot of snipers in the central park one but many other routes to get to them so it plays well and is balanced. The one in Italy is a great CQC map, great for Run'n'gun style.

[LasciviousXXX]

The one in Italy is the one I'm most looking forward to so far because of the multiple levels of the map. Having a 3-4 tiered map is something I really haven't experienced since I started playing COD when MW2 came out. I'm on my 2nd prestige in the 20's right now so hopefully I'll have unlocked my RSASS by the time the maps come out on PS3 :tu

I think we are at the same exact spot in prestige.

[LasciviousXXX]

Sweet! Good to know :tu

I used my first prestige coin from Black Ops to unlock the custom title and emblem. First prestige coin I unlocked the ACR for use and the 2nd prestige I used for the Claymore. Third time around I'll unlock the RSASS. Unsure after that. Probably Assassin.

I will prolly unlock the Portable Radar next.

I just can't get used to the portable radar. I tried using it for a bit but never really got the feel of it. Maybe I'm using it wrong LOL.

The nice thing about it is if your whole team uses them and spreads them out correct you can cover most of the map. Yours works for everybody not just you. I also really like the trophy system when I am on defense but the portable radar isn't unlocked until level 77 so it is worth unlocking I think.

This is something I often wondered about. Why are all maps either 1 or two stories high? I mean the buildings often are taller but you can't actually access areas above the second floor. I think more of that third dimension would improve gameplay. It would be ad advantage for snipers, but not if there were other perchs that could help keep them in check.

[357]

BTW, I too was on last night. I made a discovery not long ago that my TV settings were causing input lag. Meaning all my movements would be delayed by about 200 ms. They happened in realtime but weren't reflected on my TV until 200 ms later. I was also seeing enemy movements 200 ms after they happend. I know it sounds like no big deal but it's often the difference between killing or getting killed. Anyway, last night was my first time back on since I've corrected it. What a huge difference. I had multiple positive KDRs last night. I know that doesn't mean much for many of you, but it's a huge thing for me. Of course my parade got rained on when my internet connection crapped out.

[JohnnyKay5]

Just hopped on MW3. I dont have the patience to play with people i dont know, especially since theres no team work. Just started playing with a guy from my unit and his buddies since my friend list is 11 and 9/10 of them are never on (people got kids and dont play or are deployed.)

Got my K/D around 1 right now. half the time I'm at 17-20 kills with 8-10 deaths, others i'm 9/15.

Not a big hardcore fan but anything else is good if i'm playing with people that actually talk.

When our party gets too big for TDM we usually fire up an infected game.

Survivors have a 1887 shotty and a magnum. Infected will usually start with a shot gun or SMG. After the first kill infected only have throwing and tactical knives. It a good format. We always play on Dome.

I also really like the trophy system when I am on defense but the portable radar isn't unlocked until level 77 so it is worth unlocking I think.

When I play with my team you'll have a guarantee of at least 3 portable radars up in choke spots. Portable radar is pretty decent if most of the players don't use assassin on the other team. You just need the radar on your far end and defend the area in front of you. You can also use a bouncing betty or claymore around another entrance of where you are so you have time to react. Using these in conjunction with portable radar is fantastic!. I used my tokens to unlock ACR, Portable Radar, Assassin, and Claymore. I need to unlock Scavenger next because not dying means I don't have any ammo =P

Randoms drive me insane sometimes. Most of the time, the couple of guys I have with me can make up for (really) bad players. We lost a game last night with three of us, and three randoms 7-19, 8-20 and 12-23, by one kill. Yes, thats 52 of 75 deaths by 3 players. :bh

Yah it sucks. I am gonna look up the worst guys on the team during that game now.


Edit:
Okay the bottom 3 on our team went 6/43!!!
6 kills and 43 deaths!

2-16
0-11

Yah it sucks. I am gonna look up the worst guys on the team during that game now.

We can regularly make up for people who are negative 10 or more, but three on the same team with over 19 deaths is tough to recover from. <0.7 K/D players usually end up on our team because of our higher K/D ratios but if you can't convince them to stop running into bullets, it is exponentially tougher. :td

I agree about some shotgun setups having way too much range but QSrs don't bother me. QSing takes skill, blind shotgun blasting doesn't. At the end of the day they all die anyway. I like the game, alot. I play on Xobox though so maybe it is better?!?

Maybe though i find the xbox controller to be a pain the community is slightly less whiny and arrogant than the pc lot but only slightly.

And at the end of the day its a game though i would love to see all the QSers come onto cod 2 and try playing there style without stopping power or slide of hand pro then we can see if its "skill" or just the perks.

It is a skill, not everybody can do it well. I can't do it well so I respect it. As far as whining goes, on the xbox you can set it so you can't hear random people. That's how I run, I can only hear my friends. This setting has made me enjoy my online experience sooo much more. And random people use to always send me messages complaining about me cheating or using a modded controller (Which I don't) but now they can't send me anything, all forms of contact are blocked other than a friend request.

[Reaver2145]

Really because i only mute them in game i didnt know you could outright block everybody except friends as the constant messages and voice mails get real annoying after a while.

As for qsing im still going to debate skill on that maybe it is maybe it isnt my real problem is most of them ive had the pleasure of talking to have had such a god complex its untrue of course these people are so superior at the game i might as well not be alive that kind of bull gets real annoying real fast for me.

Yah but I don't have to listen to their god complex so it's all good. Haha.
I almost never lose a match to QSrs so it doesn't bother me. If you try to QS for like a week I think you might see it as a skill. I would rather it not be possible to QS in the game but it's better than noob tubes and shotguns IMO.

Yah trust me, having all blocked except friends is heaven!

[Reaver2145]

Oh no noobtubes and shotguns are far better and more fun IMO

As people seem to hate them so much i use them alot after a few kills they begin to rage and come for "revenge" kills which means they are easy to shoot in the face or knife in the back and then they get even madder making them easy pray.

I enjoy the grenade launchers a bit better, only because there is no Danger Close and the damage is much more reasonable, especially when they are not direct hits. I don't have a problem with run and gun shotguns, but the striker is just unfair compared to the other shotguns.

As for the "whiners", you still have plenty on the PS3. I save all my direct messages from players saying anywhere "Why do you use portable radar you noob" to "Why are you hacking bro" to get a good laugh. In any community you'll always have them. Even when your team decides to play them in a private match and still win... can't get away =/

I've been sending tweets for three months to @callofduty asking if hardcore headquarters will be coming back as its own game type with no response. Started a petition today on change.org just to see if I could get a decent amount of signatures. Even if you don't play it, please consider signing your name for those of us that do :)

http://www.change.org/petitions/infinity-ward-return-hardcore-headquarters-as-a-separate-multiplayer-game-type

just saw tonight it is back. I'm not sure if it came back today or in the past couple, but what great timing

[ucla695]

Ugh...my Turtle Beach headset broke last night. Kinda strange playing without it. Gotta like Amazon though...the new one will be here tomorrow. :)

I think I'll download the new maps tonight.

[LasciviousXXX]

Couldn't live without my Turtle Beach Headset. I'm surprised what a difference it makes. Its almost not fair :tu

I'm still really digging the new maps although every game I've played seems to be made of players who are MUCH better than me. I'm lucky keeping a 1-1.5 ratio on some of these games.

Yeah, it takes a little bit to get the feel of them.

[ucubed]

Maybe for Christmas I'll get a headset that will work with the PS3, although I should try my usb ones anyways to see if it works..

I'm liking Piazza a lot more because of the pace of the map, it's quite quick. Liberation is so slow when it comes to TDM or KC because many people are snipers and sit back.

[LasciviousXXX]

32-8 on Piazza. CHYEAH!!!! :banger

Yah I wish you where on Xbox, we can almost alway use one more good player. I think our clan is now full at 100 players but we play with non-clan members too. Our clan was advertised on the xbox dashboard a couple weeks ago for a MW3 play date. It's kind of annoying because you get messages with questions about joining all day long when you play. I have all my communications blocked except for friends so I luckily avoid that part:tu.


I have been using the FAD lately, never really used it much before. I took it with this prestige because for some reason I am not playing well with my MK14 lately. My overall KDR with it is around 1.85 so far, I always compare my individual weapon stats to see what works best for me. In Black Ops I loved the MPL and used it all the time and then all of a sudden it got really popular and I stopped using it.

[Starscream]

I finally feel like I am getting the hang of this game after playing for something like a total of 4 days. :r :r

I know most of the maps (although I have not been playing the new ones that much) and still do a good amount of camping, but move around more from spot to spot. I have gotten my KDR up to 0.75+. It is going to be a while before I get it to 1.

For my first prestige, I unlocked the ACR and Assassin (I got a free token for being an elite member or something). I usually use Blind Eye (I do not like getting mowed down by helicopters), Assassin and Marksman.

For my next prestige, I will probably unlock Dead Silence or the Bouncing Betty. I really like the Bouncing Betty, it is great when I am camping as I can use it to protect behind me.

I have been using the ACR and P90 a lot lately. My KDR for the ACR is above 1.0 and I have been trying out the P90 as I have heard good things.

Looking at your graph it appears you had a good few games lately!
Since you like to camp, you should consider unlocking the portable radar instead of the BB, it is an amazing little device for securing an area, your team mates can use it as well.

I can tear it up with a L118 with acog running around, not so much with the scope.

I use the cheapest ones I could find, they suck but are better than the stock ones. I couldn't justify spending $200 on a nice set, but I wish I had them.

I'm the same. Love the RSASS but only utilize it with the ACOG scope. The variable scope is a pain in the ass really. Also, I've just never gotten used to the thermal, although I bet it really is handy!

Ear Force Delta. There's a pic a few pages back. Best investment I ever made for gaming. An absolute pleasure!

How does the portable radar work? I tried it a couple of times and I didn't see anything. I usually play HC, does it only work when the UAV is up?

What Turtle Beach headset are you all using?

I bought the new X32 with the variable wireless, while it is not surround sound, I like it. It does eat batteries, but I did not want a cord going across the room while I play. I have not had any interference issues and the sound quality is good. I think they were $99. I might eventually get the signal processor to upgrade them to surround sound. The new X42s were not out yet when I got them.

[ucla695]

I'm using the Turtle Beach PX-21. It has separate controls for the game volume, chat, mic on/off and bass management. Great headset.

How does the portable radar work? I tried it a couple of times and I didn't see anything. I usually play HC, does it only work when the UAV is up?

No it works all the time, I don't play HC so I do not know if it is different.

You place it and it gives you a UAV like sweep on your map in a large radius of the area you placed it. All team mates can see the sweep on their map too. If you have a few people place them at key locations you can really benefit as a team and you can actually do away with the UAV perk all together.

In hardcore, you have to contantly be checking your map with the portable radar, which I do anyways. If you don't frequently check the map, every 10 seconds or so, it won't be of much help. :tu

Oh there is no hud map in HC? That would take away much of the purpose of using a portable radar if that is the case. I can't stand HC so I am ignorant to the functions of equipment in that game type.

[LasciviousXXX]

Yeah, completely useless in HC IMO unless you have a team where someone is constantly throwing up the UAV. With the new maps I've been forced to play modes other than TDM, which is both good and bad. It reinforced my loathing of Kill Confirmed but it made me really appreciate S&D. Especially on Liberation :tu

No HUD map, you have to constantly be checking your map on your own. You also don't get to see where you got shot from. This is porbably why the better players play hardcore and the noobs stick to regular. Must be nice to know where everyone is all the time. :D

Actually most noobs I know like HC better so they can camp and not reveal their position when firing. Also they can get kills easier, snipers are almost always OSOK. Most noobs complain that it is too hard to kill in regular and therefore prefer HC. The better players I know (some are semi-pro) all play regular, most play Dom though and not TDM. I prefer regular CTF myself but don't get to play it much because I don't like to play without a full team. I have been playing Team Tac mostly lately.

I love S&D, it is so much more intense without respawns. My best game was 11-0 a couple weeks ago. We play Team Tac alot and always vote for S&D if possible.

[LasciviousXXX]

I agree with your assessment on noobs in HC Shane. However, all it takes is a player or two in the game like ucubed to make them pay for their extended camping sessions. Its actually quite hilarious as they get very upset when receiving some well-deserved punishment. LOL

I prefer HC simply because to me, it is a more realistic experience. I like not knowing where my enemies are located. I like that its not just bedlam run-n-gun on a map. The tactical part really floats my boat.

I couldn't agree more on S&D. It is a very INTENSE game! I'm almost never the bomb-runner in the game. I generally stick to the perimeter of the map and pick off enemies for the runner as he approaches them. It works very well most of the time. However, a few times during the last few S&D matches all my team mates get killed before I can set up their path for them. There's nothing more frustrating than trying to take out an entire enemy team as a sniper while still planting the bomb in time.

I find HC is less tactical and more instinctual and requires more patience than Core. I find Core more tactical because there is more tactical equipment usable and more diversity among enemy play styles. As far as realism, hands down HC is way more realistic. I have argued this point on COD forums for years: I don't seek realism in my video games, I seek entertainment, tactics, team work & fun. To much realism can start to take away from entertaining IMHO. I am just glad we all have a choice of Core or HC so we can enjoy playing the type we most like. This all being said, I used to only play HC in MW2 until the noob tubers took over the game.
I love to run'n'gun, running around killing at a fast pace, but I really add value when I play defensive. I wish we were all on xbox.

Must be nice to know where everyone is all the time. :D

Don't forget, the enemy knows where you are as well. ;)

Here's to hoping they can find a vehicle for Xbox and PS3 owners to all play on the same network. THAT would be worth paying a monthly fee :tu

That would be incredible!
I played a game before that allowed PC users and xbox users to play together, it was awesome.

[ucubed]

If you have a problem with campers, then I would suggest a portable radar or heartbeat sensor. Now I typically only use heartbeat on S & D, but typically campers with a sniper of the sort use quickdraw and not assassin unlike all my classes. If you play on HD then a class with a heartbeat sensor or one with Marksman can help tremendously.

[Reaver2145]

That would be incredible!

Yeah but that would be really unfair on the xbox users as even with max sensitivity on my controller it never felt as fast as my nice razor mouse and unfair for the PC users if auto-aim was kept on.

Although i would enjoy the sheer slaughter of it.

PS. camping is a legit tactic just memorise the main spots and if you get killed time and time again going for those revenge kills remember its your own fault if your e-peen morals dont allow you to flash+nade+shotty+tube someone camping in a corner well thats your problem and my points <3

There are components you can buy to slap on a mouse and keyboard for XBOX and PS3, but as I said earlier, the point of a console game is the controller. I understand using an arcade controller for fighting games because that's where it started, but I find those using keyboard and mouse on a console platform to be "lame" for a lack of better term.

As for cross platform, Counter-Strike: Go, it was suppose to be cross-platform (minus XBOX, don't even get me started to why they said no to Valve). As of today though, they nixed that project because "Due to the long, laborious and downright obtuse patching processes on consoles, Valve has decided to separate the two platforms so as to provide the best version of the game at all times instead of waiting for the certification committee to stop screwing around all day and actually do their jobs." Highly disappointed, but whatever, I'll just keep playing MW3

[Reaver2145]

This red tape and paperwork is why ive gone off consoles (apart from the xboxs built quality being downright crap) for anything els than a few FPS and driving games the fact you "get what your given and like it" annoys me.

PC VS XBOX i would enjoy - they say no
Skyrim modding kit for xbox/ps3 - they say no
The list goes on.

You also get an audible indicator when opponents have been detected, which is helpful so you don't have to keep your eyes on the mini-map.

I don't have any problem destroying campers. I just find them cheap and boring. If they wanna lay in a corner, get one kill on me and get destroyed the rest of the game, so be it. :D


Moving on, I played the new map last night. It was okay. I really wish I could play DLC on any game type I prefer. I dislike KC and that is all I was getting as an option.

I play terrible with the MK14 if it doesn't have a scope. Iron sighting it gets me negative very quickly. It's been like this since COD4.

[theonlybear4CORT]

Acog and rapid fire are your friend.

[ucubed]

Acog and rapid fire are your friend.

Silencer and Rapid Fire for me =P

[montecristo#2]

Silencer and Rapid Fire for me =P

I am using three guns these days.

ACR6.8 - I usually use silencer and the hybrid sight.

P90 - silencer + rapid fire (I am trying out different scopes, but I like rapid fire :D)

RSASS - suppressor + variable zoom or ACOG

I like the extra vision I get with the ACOG, but the variable zoom is nice for some maps. Since I still do a lot of camping or camp and move, I always use a silencer with Assassin.

I am not even sure what the other Proficiencies do as I usually just stop once I get two attachments.

[macsauce13]

In my opinion you just can't beat the Type 95. Its kill power is just incredible. If you are a good shot, one pull of the trigger is all you need.

[Blak Smyth]

I play terrible with the MK14 if it doesn't have a scope. Iron sighting it gets me negative very quickly. It's been like this since COD4.

Some guns work well for me with iron sights, with the MK14 I prefer red dot.
The type 95 has decent irons IMO, but I can fire two accurate shots faster with the MK14 than the three round burst of the 95.

Just logged into COD Elite and it shows my emblem as this:
https://elite.callofduty.com/assets/images/mw3/emblem/2047e45c9aaa5e430ddd8106c9f75ee0/xbox
I have never seen this before and I didn't set it.

[Blak Smyth]

In my opinion you just can't beat the Type 95. Its kill power is just incredible. If you are a good shot, one pull of the trigger is all you need.

With the MK14 my accuracy is 27% and KDR is 1.77 and only 20% with the 95 and a KDR of 1.42.
I just started using the ACR and my accuracy is the same as the 95 but my KDR is 1.96 and I like the irons on it.
IMO I can in fact beat the Type 95. :D

PS, my secondary is the MP9 and I have a higher KDR than the 95 with only a 1% accuracy drop.


Just saying there are many other guns that work as well or better "for me" than the type 95. The 95 is a decent gun though.

[ucubed]

Huge difference for me. I've had people say I'm using some kind of hack that causes the MK14 to fire as fast as the ACR. My team and I were dying. To me it helps with long range kills to get that second shot off before they move or if I'm moving around corners a lot...I haven't played in like 2 weeks =(

[BHalbrooks]

How does it make it faster? Im just not seeing it.

I can't get enough of the MP7 though. Total fire.

[theonlybear4CORT]

Awwwww yeah mw3 time! After I make coffee,take a shower and get the dog some food that is

[ucubed]

The faster you push the button... with rapid fire at least it can sorta keep up with my trigger finger...without it, I'm tapping it several times before it gets the second shot off

No. I am boycotting spending extra money on Call of Duty content. Its ridiculous, the maps are never worth the money, can't remember the last time there was one (let-alone 2) good maps in a map pack. I would rather pay $100 for the game up front and get all the maps from the get-go than pay extra fees. :td

Also the FAD with silencer & irons.

I am Elite as well. I hate not having new maps, they keep it interesting.

[JohnnyKay5]

I like my MK14 with Acog/Silencer or Acog/RF

Fad with Silencer and iron is good enough for me.

[awsmith4]

I have two set ups depending on the map

Larger Maps - Blind Pro, Ninja Pro, and Stalker Pro with a SCAR w/ Silencer and Extended Mags. Sidearm - USP .45 w/silencer

Run and Gun Maps - Marathon Pro, Quick Draw Pro, Stalker Pro with a UMP45 w/ Rapid fire and Kick. Sidearm USP .45 Akimbo

Quit MW3 for a while. The quickscoping kinda ruined it for me. Developers seriously need to nerf it by 1. removing the aim assist for snipers, 2. Making the hit box a helluva lot smaller 3. no 1-shot kills to body mass. Head shots only.

I know some people say it is a skill etc. However, when I see them in the kill cam running full speed, pull up the scope and crack off a shitty shot that is at least a rifle length in front or behind me and I drop............thats just BS. I suppse techincally, I cannot call it cheating, but it is a cheap tactic. Worse than camping IMHO.

BF3 has taken a lot of getting used to, but I am finally starting to like it.

[Blak Smyth]

Wow I just found out my clan placed 4th out of 34,000 clans for the last Dom clan ops.

[Hooligan]

I was much better at Black Ops but I like change, I got tired of BO.

[hammondc]

Oh crap...I just realized this is the MW3 thread, not BO. Oh well...my comment still stands.

[DPD6030]

I need to get on more and play with you and your boys Shane.

[Blak Smyth]

Yah I have not been on lately either. I do not like to play without friends so if I hop on and nobody else is online I ussually get offline. I will PM you my cell and you can text when you get online, that's ussualy the best way to get me on.

[levrac68]

i have no life... I think I'm up to 30 days of play time.:tu

[Blak Smyth]

I played some yesterday for the first time in about a month.
I had to download the new maps and found the 2v2 game type!!!
I love 2v2 & 3v3, I have been wishing for that game type for years.

[DPD6030]

Just went 18-6 then 12-6 :sh

[chippewastud79]

Just went 18-6 then 12-6 :sh

Camper! :r

Had a few decent games tonight. 29-5 and a solid 14-1. Got 7 with the Eagle on Mission for the 29 kill game. :tu

[Blak Smyth]

I am craving some 3v3 right now!

:lr I never camp. I'm the run and gun type almost 100% of the time.

[DPD6030]

I'm craving...a jelly donut! :r

Honestly you are prolly gonna have to shoot me a freind request, I have GTs written down all over the place that I never added.

GT: Blak Smyth

Or are we already friends?
I know me and Andrew play together on Blue Moons.

[DPD6030]

I never see you on anymore! Is the moon blue yet? :D

[Blak Smyth]

I never see you on anymore! Is the moon blue yet? :D

I was on alot this weekend, usually only on the weekends if I am not smoking. Or I get done smoking and get online at like midnight. I played Saturday night until almost 3am I think.

[LasciviousXXX]

The Face Off maps come out on PS3 tomorrow. :wo

I finally reached an overall K-D ratio of 1.51 This puts me 2nd on my list of friends (WAY behind ucubed at a 3.7 something). Either way though I'm pretty stoked about it. I watched that Elite video of Rampage Jackson playing MW3 against his A-Team director. Damn, Rampage has some skills

[LasciviousXXX]

I'm kind of meh on the Face Off maps. I love the concept (2v2 and 3v3 is right up my alley) but the maps themselves leave a lot to be desired. I understand the concept they are trying to achieve with the small maps but maybe they made them a bit too small. No strategy whatsoever, just run and gun.

On the other hand, Oasis is just a gorgeous map!

[kingcobradude]

I have mw3 but mostly play halo. last time I played mw3 I sucked big time. my GT on xbox is the same as on here

Agreed, the spawns can be screwed up at times as well. I still love the ability to change the outcome of the game by myself, I enjoy run'n'gun style so it works for me. I do not run around blindly though like some. Big team games can be so depressing when you go plus 20 and still lose in TDM. I would actually be into playing faceoff on the normal maps.

[LasciviousXXX]

I get Clan requests all the time. I generally turn them down as I like playing solo and don't feel I could add much to a Clan. However, recently I was recruited by a decent group of guys and I have just Clan-ed up!

Watch out world. Lascivious777 is now a member of the Ratio~Killerz

Nice Tyr! We are almost at level 50 now:

[Blak Smyth]

I have been using the G36C for the last couple of weeks, been really loving this gun!
I used to use only the MK14 but am doing better with the G36C, I can pepper snipe with it too.
My overall KDR went from 1.8 up to 1.84 over the last few weeks just by switching guns.
I don't usually see my KDR move at all anymore, kinda nice. My G36C kdr is 1.93 currently but I think it will continue to rise.
My MK14 was only 1.83 and somehow my AK47 is 1.99, I might have to try and use more of the Ak if I get bored with the G36C!

[LasciviousXXX]

Nice job on the clan level Shane!

I use a variety of different guns depending on the game style I'm playing. My regular go-to is the ACR 6.8 with Red Dot and Silencer. I use this in most HC modes including TDM and Dom. I also use a modified version of it for most of the Face Off challenges (since they are not HC), on the Face Off levels I swap out the attachments for Impact.

For levels with mid to long range sight lines, and for all S&D levels, I use the RSASS with a ghillie suit. Blind Eye Pro, Assassin Pro, & Marksman Pro round out this sniper class. Its great for tactical sniping and sneaking.

For some of the extremely small Face Off levels I use the Pro Class load-out. The PP90M1 with Sleight of Hand, QuickDraw, & Stalker. Works well for those levels where everyone is just running n gunning.

My ratio has stayed pretty solid at 1.51 I wish I could get it higher but I know there are so many amazing players out there. I was looking at some of the Clans ratio averages that were in the 6's and 7's. Crazy!

Our clan ratio suffers because we have many sub 1.0 players but they do good on clan ops. I think the clan ops for most kills should be most net kills. I can't get used to the ACR, just doesnt work for me like it does with so many others. I am about middle of the road in our clan, we have a couple guys who are just rediculous. When we reach level 50 I may leave and find a better clan, I would love to be the worst on my team. I played some CTF recently, that helps my KDR big time since I am a flag defender and mid support player. In TDM I Run'n'gun but on more tactical game types I slow down.

In TDM my KDR is 1.89 with a 242.6 SPM and in CTF it is 2.56 with a 258.48 SPM. SPM combined with KDR is important in my opinion. I could easily get a 4.0 KDR but only have like 100 SPM.

Domination is when my KDR takes a hit at only 1.56 but 230.91 SPM isn't bad I don't think but I hate playing Dom.

In Demo I have a low KDR at 1.34 but my SPM is 407.23, haven't play much of this though.

I have only played like 5 games of HC, someday maybe I will try to play more of it.

[hammondc]

Been on a heavy BF3 kick for about 4 months. May have to jump back on MW3 for a bit.

[Blak Smyth]

I get a little carried away on COD Elite's website, I enjoy looking at stats though.
I havn't played this week yet, I am craving it. I believe my last weeks overall KDR was around 2.5, I try to keep an eye on this weekly so I recognize I am playing poorly and adjust.


I joined some clan members game the other day and I destroyed them in TDM. I think I went 27-4 and they all went negative except one. It was funny, one guy said I am gonna get off line so you can get Blak in. I thought nooooo I like playing against you guys, haha. We work well as a team though, we usually win 9/10 games when we have a party.

ACR 6.8 with Red Dot and Silencer is my primary. I don't play as many game variants as you do but the PP90M1 with Sleight of Hand, Stalker, and I forget the third perk is my run-n-gun config. 6.8 seems to be accurate, hit well, and with a decent enough rate of fire to suffice all but extreme CQB. It also doesn't walk much; tends to return to target rather well. The PP90M1 is all about putting as much lead into a moving opponent at close range in the smallest amount of time. Love the PP90M1 with rapid fire. I suck overall but I rarely lose a CQB encounter with the PP90M1.

[LasciviousXXX]

Definitely true Mike. The PP90M1 is to MW3 what the UMP was to Black Ops.

Doing well with the new clan. A good group of guys. One some XP for our clan on that last Challenge (most Flanker kills). It was actually kind of tough. There was a whole lotta knifin' going on :D
