Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 - July Elite DLC out now, Terminal free for everyone

[quote name='Dr.Zoidberg']Ok, where did I miss it. I got the hardened edition and had signed up on the Elite site back some months ago. When I sign onto Elite, it shows the green skull which is supposed to show that I'm a founder and I have the winter camo meaning the same but I never did put in the code on the back of the Elite card that I received with the game. How did it put me as founder if I never put in the code?[/QUOTE]I may be wrong, but I believe everyone is given the "founder" title if you purchase/redeem elite by the end of November 2011.
 
I'm having issues with my Elite account. I signed in earlier today to check a few things, went to multiplayer, came back and it acts as if I never had an Elite account.

I am prompted to "register for a free account" after entering my email and password. I entered my code from my hardened edition a few weeks ago and it said "thank you". I've had no problems logging in before, why now?

After I re-enter the information I get an "Error 500" page.

Anyone else have these problems?
 
I hope they don't add more throwback map packs to the game. It's similar to the previous games as it is. If I wanted to play mw2 again I would have skipped out on mw3 and stuck to the older one..

This is a common problem. Just keep trying, you'll get in.
 
So, has anybody had the displeasure of a hacked super speed lobby pop up today?

This game needs some serious updates for me to play it longer than it'll take me to reach 1st prestige. It's like Infinity Ward wiped it's ass on a DVD and sold it to me.
 
is all the button clan tags a hack...

...or just something broken in the clan tag creation allowing you to do it?

...because it seems like to many people to have it to be a hack
(my reasoning is most people are tech retarded online)

I didn't say the maps were good.

I said I want something new, not the same rehashed shit.
 
Just picked this up. I thought I read somewhere if you complete the campaign on hard you open an extra slot for custom multi load out. Is this true? If so what difficulty levels does this? Thanks.

I heard you get a prestige token if you beat it, but I didn't get it when I did so on normal, so maybe it has to be on vet

And I also got all the stars on spec ops, and nothing from there either. (besides a title/emblem for MP)

That's gotta be something the dev's put in, I just can't believe that could happen by accident.
 
It happend in MW2 also, not surprised. IW is known for letting things like this slip by and they haven't fixed it. Treyarch did an impressive job on black ops as far as keeping this out of the game and what not. It's too much of a common thing now and it is annoying.
 
Who gives a shit about the clan tags?

The main glitches like the stealth bomber one and the one where people got under the map on Outpost were fixed before I even ran into them. The game has had like 5 patches already in three weeks.

Treyarch did fix a lot of shit. Useless shit. Ooh, someone's getting out of a zombie map? Treyarch is amazing! Yet they left in a bug where if you shot an explosive barrel it would kill your teammates. That's why more annoying than a clan tag. Treyarch sucks.

U mad? Sledgehammer and the studios who worked on this game didn't do a great job. I mention the clan tags thing because with the Marksman perk it makes their gamertag longer. Either way, the clan tag thing was in mw2 and they didn't fix it in mw3. The game is okay, just wish they'd release Dlc soon.
 
They need to take kill confirmed out of ground war. It was bad enough before with people not caring about capping the flags but now to see people sit on the stomach and wait for someone to walk by to get some tags is just outright disgusting.

People camp in Team Deathmatch too.

I hate campers, but they are in every goddamn game mode. The people I really hate are the stupid kids trying to get "1337 360 noscopes or quickscopes" on my team. Seriously, just play FFA for that shit.

And I refuse to defend IW until they remove Tac Insertions from FFA. Why they decided to bring boosting back is almost as stupid as them bringing back no-skill quickscoping, and making shotguns primaries but suck more than the MW2 secondaries, and the shit spawns, and my support strike package streaks resetting when I change class, when the new class has THE EXACT SAME POINTSTREAKS. It makes me never shoot down air support if I'm on any kind of streak, it's stupid.

Is there a CAG clan on elite I could join up with? Or are any groups of players looking for an extra player or two... Feel free to send me an FR to play.
 
I'm cool with pointstreaks resetting when you change classes makes sense because each class is different even if you set it up the same. This is why I have different streaks on all of my classes.

Right now I have two specialist classes, two assault classes and one support class. Different situations, different abilities. It works out best that way.
 
[quote name='Jimbo Slice']Anyone else feel that the hit detection is so bad in this game that it is literally unplayable? Think I'm gonna sell it off...[/QUOTE]

Yes. I have way more bullshit deaths compared to BLOPS.

there are games where its literally unbelievable to me. ill see the killcam and im either turned 90degrees shooting at the wall while getting killed or i never even fire a bullet. its really difficult for me to play this game for any period.

extremely disappointing.
 
For the love of god, I hope they tone up the SPAS or shotguns in general. They're so weak...

As much as I love the Type 95, it seems like it's one of the inevitable guns in each Call Of Duty game that's more powerful than all the others. They're all over the place now.

We are having totally opposite games cause even though I get frustrated with some of the spawning, Ops made me want to quit COD, well, WAW did first and then Ops didn't help any. I will be playing MW3 longer than Ops and WAW put together. But it's also nice to have some change of pace and play BF3 too so maybe that helps with the raging.

Still sick of the bullshit spawns and ridiculous hit detection though when my accuracy proves I'm not missing. Especially when my killer is awarded hit markers for shooting my f*cking shadow or the environment around me, but it's cool. It's whatever.

Yep. I had the same. Just tons of lag where the kill cam is totally different than what I saw on my screen. It was a problem in past CoD games as well, but just much worse here. For me anyway.

I also hate the maps so I've pretty much quit playing. Just holding on to the game to play the campaign for some achievements once I get my hacked Xbox Live account back.

I'm also just burnt out on COD and online MP in general, so that probably has a lot to do with not being able to get into the MP in this at all. I just have a lot more fun with single player and co-op modes (so I do want to check out Spec Ops when I get my account back) and with limited gaming time want to focus on that rather than raging over online MP that I frankly suck at.
 
Keep in mind that the killcams you are seeing are based off your opponents latency so if you're lagging behind him you'll notice sometimes that you were way behind. Most commonly it's noticable when you knife through someone only to see you weren't even near him on the killcam or if you shot someone several times only to notice that you never fired a shot on the killcam. It's all just latency issues. It's been like this since COD4 but it has nothing to do with hit detection as hit detection is strictly based off your console I believe.
 
[quote name='Trakan']Looks like the Akimbo FMG-9s are going to be tweaked in an update coming this week.[/QUOTE]

Thank god, those things require no skill and are overpowered. At least in MW2 The Akimbo 1887's where fun before they where patched.
 
[quote name='Assasin']I'm trying to figure out what sub-machine is the best in the game, I currently use the P90 and I destroy with that up close.[/QUOTE]
I've tried the P90 and it's a great gun, however I just love the PP90. I use the attachments proficiency for silencer and rapid fire, also have steady aim as my tier 3 perk.

The thing is a monster!! It works out decently enough at mid-range, but you will almost always win at close range. Try it out if you can. I can't wait until I unlock it again.(just prestiged and used my token on an extra class)
 
I just bought a year of COD Elite on the Xbox. How long does it take the Elite site to show that you're a premium member, and how long did it take for your founder bonuses to show up?

It cant be. the killcams that show me never shooting when i got 10 rounds of hit markers on my screen, or standing in the open getting killed when i was 10 ft to the right behind a building wouldnt happen.

I agree, PP90 is easily the best SMG (At least so far. I've heard really good things about the MP7, but I haven't unlocked it yet.) Silencer and rapid fire is good, but extended mags and rapid fire helps mitigate the ammo drain this weapon has. And steady aim is highly recommended as well.

I really want to use shotguns, but the lag needs to get fixed before I can really commit to them.
