Modern Warfare 3 Discussion Thread - Out 11/8/11. New Multiplayer Trailer!

After you guys get yourselves situated with guns you feel comfortable with, jump on Elite and see how you really perform with them in the Weapon Performance tab.

I was surprised to see I had a higher k/d with the MK14 vs the ACR. I run a 1.91 with the MK14 vs the ACR at 1.74, both have similar kills at 1348 and 1384 respectively. CM901 and the G36 perform almost identical for me at a 1.48, making them interchangable with the exception the 901 is better at long range than the G36 but the G36 lays down more bullets in short and medium range.
 
played a bit last night with Velo and we got rocked a couple of games. Worst games ever going like 5-25 (almost too embarrassed to admit, but it is what it is).

You should've been on the one where I lead the team going 8-8. While I never admit to being great, I am generally not stupid. Maybe foolish once in a while, but not stupid.

What still amazes me is the stupidity in how it chooses the spawn point. I stopped trying to count how many times the game has thrown me into a place because a single player was rushing the other team and I was dropped into a 3 or 4 on 1 situation.

Spawning is a mix of lottery, luck and overall map positioning. If your team is all bunched together, chance are you'll spawn with them. If they're being herded around, you'll spawn on either end as the spawn gets shifted. If the main spawn is invaded, it jumps randomly once and then returns to a set pattern of map guesstimation. Meaning really if you're being spawn camped, you have one good spawn to get out and stay alive while hoping your teammates get massacred in that spawn so they spawn on you.
 
Mad - while I am fairly certain it is done like this, I think it skews the overall numbers on Elite - while viewing the guns, the kills are just the gun kills and not the knife kills / other kills with it. While I know there is the overall K/D ratio, I wish there was a "true K/D ratio" with each gun that showed the total number of kills achieved while the gun was equipped since every death counts.

I may play tonight, but I will not be on until about 10pm CST.
 
[quote name='shiro13']I just got done with finals and I have a month of break. Would love to play with some of you guys.[/QUOTE] Feel free to shoot me friend request. I usually grab an average of 2-4 people when I do get a party going on. We usually end up trolling the publics in TDM/Kill Confirmed. If we don't have enough for Kill Confirmed or not a "strong" enough group for it, I default to TDM. If we get 4-5 I'll throw in Domination but it's more a matter of what we realistically can expect from the party. Can't really go wrong trolling TDM for kill cams.

[quote name='nakanenui']See you guys on tonight. I have been trying to get over a cold the last few days which I think is affecting my gameplay a bit.[/QUOTE]
I've got 5 hours of double xp to burn and fully intend on being on tonight. Looking to Prestige again by the end of the night, I don't think it's too unrealistic.

yeah, I've been feeling like crap for the past week. after one too many 4-14's I just had to put the controller down.
 
[quote name='DOMINATOR912']1.06 killed the game for me. Lag is worse than ever now. It basically broke everything that 1.05 fixed.[/QUOTE]
Let the patch populate. Give it a day or so for everybody to download it. Basically I noticed a lot of lag and a lot of very poor hosts, watching the matches go above 50/ms more than I'd like. You're only match making with people that currently have the patch which as of last checking was about a half million people according to the in-game stats.
 
Sorry I guess I was feeling a lot worse than I thought, as I took some cold medicine and passed the fuck out. Slept good though, felt a lot better after 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

I agree its gotten worse, which is saying something considering how bad it was to begin with. This game is really starting to make me rage with the amount of crap in it. On top of that the stupid game won't give me my prestige token from Black OPs. I should still get that right?
 
it's weird, some games are really bad where it seems like the other team is one step ahead of you and some games are just fine.. haven't noticed any improvement from this patch yet.
 
Played a few games by myself and got so fed up that I had to stop. SKYRIM is less frustrating at the moment.

CLAN questions: I read that if we level up our clan we can earn double xp time. Something nice to look forward to playing together.
 
I kinda stopped playing, im sure when i get back to it i will suck again, so im now going through my backlog, uncharted 2, here we come to finally beat you!

anybody know how elite is activated? I have a code from an xbox hardened, but would much rather get ps3 benefits/maps, is that possible?

You link your PSN and Live accounts to Elite, you should be able to link both of them, although I'm not sure what the overall point would be. There is no real "benefit" to being Elite other than the 2 hours of double exp you get, the camo and titles otherwise. Nothing tangible at this moment.
 
Need a couple of people for trolling tonight. Last night was painful doing it solo. While I did get in on a couple of decent games, it seemed like a majority of the time I would come into a match way, way behind. Take the one kill confirmed match I entered, the team was down 41-5. That's bad enough that I cannot make it up.

Heck, after a warm up I'll even go quiet and volunteer to play some S&D for the first time in MW3.
 
I made a run to Walmart for those Doritos 17oz bags, but the damn store only had the normal size bags and were not marked as MW3 double xp. They did have the Mtn Dew cases but they were not on sale. I am trying to find these Doritos bags as I like eating cheese snacks (as opposed to drinking Mtn Dew) and those normal size bags give 45mins per code (the 17oz bags give 90mins). Also I heard the code is on the back of the bag so one could snap a photo of the codes while buying a few bags (the closer the end of the year comes, if there are any bags left I may do this only because the deadline would make it useless even if purchased).

I have 15 minutes left in my DewXP account I can't use. PM me your PSN ID and I can apply it to your account I think.

Doubt you will find any Doritos left. They came out at the end of October and I have not seen any on the shelf since before Thanksgiving. I purchased 4 more 12 packed of Diet Dew to get another 3 hrs.
 
@evil
I'll try to be on tonight. I'm usually on from around 7 to around 8:30 pm Central, but that seems to be a bit early for most others. Maybe some Spec Ops, too?

Anyone can feel free to apply any Dew/Doritos surplus xp to me ;) I'd appreciate it.
 
Langdon - if I am on at that time I would love to do some of the spec ops missions. Solo is okay, but they tend to get long going solo....and it pisses me off when I spend 5+ minutes taking out 70+ bad guys to eat a grenade.
 
Has anyone seen noticable differences after the latest update? Haven't been on in a while personally but these are the supposed updates.

Additional improvements to address lag. Fix for Melee Jump. Clan Tag Validation (remove buttons from clan tags). Improve Host Migration logic. Prevent stat loss when player loses connection from server (internet pull / drop).

Fix for ACR with Red Dot / Shotgun
Fix Type 95 bug related to dropping it.

Right after 1.06 update, i tested out my type-95 class with akimbo fmg9s and i still did incredibly well with them. Type-95s are still insanely powerful and i got many double kills with the fmg9 akimbos still. Dunno.

You were right, Target did not have any of the specially marked bags left. I got suckered into buying 8 12-packs of Dew/DietDew as they were on sale for 4/$11.

Played an hour of TD and did not notice much difference. Then played another hour and a half of KC using Type-95 (never really used this before but definitely a nice gun for medium range).

Noone13, thanks for the invite last night. Those were some fun games except for those 2 lobbies where things were just getting out of hand. I swear there are more than a handful of idiots running modded controllers (drop shot, jump shot, and/or rapid fire mods). No way running akimbo magnums you can fire as fast as an assault rifle, right? I notice up close hip fire Type-95 does wonders. I am trying to get used to rapid fire attachement on the Type-95 (could do some serious damage with this).
 
I noticed at least a handful or two of modded controllers last night. Actually witnessed almost an entire team of them last night. No way can you drop and shoot that fast and be that accurate. I've got to learn to hip fire more often.

I still love sneaking around and knifing snipers.

Hipfiring is vital, you have to resist the instinct to ADS in panic mode sometimes, especially with a full auto gun. I like the handguns because ADS is less important if I need to panic swap.

Stupid L1 trigger keeps wanting me to press it, especially when turning corners and boom there is someone running at me. I really really need to resist that urge and just fire (or knife). Akimbo does help in this regard as there is no such thing as ADS when packing 2 full auto machine pistols (or what have you).

I've only been yelling at people to stop aiming and just shoot the fucker that's in front of them for the longest...
 
Do you guys think mw3 is better than the last two MW's? I never played MW1 but the other 2 suck in sp and mp. Does cod 4 have aim ASSist?

Yes those guys where huge dildos. Good thing they weren't smart enough to move after killing you from a camping spot. Damn I have never understand the need to play a game and sit in one corner the whole game so you can go 8-2. Or needing to be good so badly you go buy a modded controller. Stupid ass people getting a boner from their K/D and ruining the fun for everyone else. Also I was getting horrible bullet lag in a few of those games the ones where I did horrible. I would empty at an entire clip from 20 feet away and miss everything. Then they would turn around and shoot me. This is biggest cause of rage for me in this game as it happens all the time. I have to use Assassin/Dead Silence/Suppressed weapon to have any chance. Gets boring as hell using the same setup all the time.

Also nakanenui I just gave you another hour of XP time. Make good use of it.

Much appreciated. Yeah I got a few lag spikes too. Sometimes it felt like they had commando pro from MW2 as I was getting knifed from 10 feet away. And watching the kill cam sometimes can gauge how bad the lag is. I am not a fan of DOME when all the runners have super range shottys and can kill me with a from medium to long range.

I might try training Quick Scoping, but with all the lag it seems futile.

Planning to be on tonight if anyone wants to party up.
 
[quote name='jmbreci']Thankfully the ignore list still works.

Mad - you going to turn on your PS3 tonight?[/QUOTE]
I'll probably be around. Spent most of my day doing nothing. Have to step out for one call to look at a humidifier. A little annoyed with people but I'll see how that translates into my game mood, shouldn't be too bad.
 
Damn, Shotguns! Who knew!

Got sick & tired of being gunned down by those spazzy jumping shotgunners; so I decided to become a spazzy (non-jumping) shotgunner.
 
So how is this for an obvious cheater/hacker: Played a game of Kill Confirmed where as soon as we spawned to START the match, one of the guys on my team starts off as a juggernaut, wtf. Of course the guy does not die for a long time and by then when he finally dies, he spawns as... another juggernaut. He ended up going 41-2 or some crazy shit like that.

Watching kill cams is another way to show how obvious these controller mods are. I got shot in the back at point blank, but the guy goes prone as soon as he stars shooting, now that is obvious.
 
I'll be on for real this time. I spent last night glued to Sentinel3 on my phone. I played one Endless stage for over 2 hours with FF enabled. I burned myself out with it for now.

On an unrelated note, I need to get a new Verizon router. I'm getting tired of the shitty unreliable wireless spasms that it's currently having.
 
Be on in 15-20....wife is reading to the terror, er the light of my life, in the living room at the moment. :)

My unrelated note is that the other day he informed her that she was terrible playing Star Wars legos and asked her why she was playing with him. He was then trash talking her in Mario Kart. I'll spare additional detail but know that he was on the ground kicking & screaming. See what you have to look forward to Kaiser?

Never knew a girl couldn't be a gamer. Then again we have not discussed it. I think my think ATM is not based on sex, more like attitude. Then again, the girl next door will not let my wife out of her site when she is over. Somehow I have a competitive "ass" at age 5 as far as video games go. On in a couple after a hard drive fuck up on my laptop..
