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

[quote name='Kavelkade']Hi everyone, is there a COD PS3 group I can join? I recently picked up the ps3 copy to play with a few co-workers, but we need more people to play with. We mostly play domination. Anyhow, add me for some general mayhem. PSN: Chalkade[/QUOTE]
I was wondering that too. Im StealthShot24 on PSN btw.
 
! Double XP all weekend on all Platforms and Double Weapon XP all weekend for PS3. I dont think double weapon xp will ever end lol
 
Double XP AND Double Weapon XP. Fantastic, great for leveling up though there will be a lot of rusty noobs trying to level up this weekend.

P.S. I got the patch update...is it just me or does C4 not seem as strong as it did...?

The 1.15? I got it yesterday, idk why. But i dont know cuz i prestiged and dont have C4. I did noticed something weird, when i was trying to find a game, it said "Playlist update is now downloading" or something like that hmmmmm
 
[quote name='TTGSteve']Thanks for the tips. What would you suggest for run and gun?[/QUOTE]

[quote name='TTGSteve']Would you suggest using rapid fire on the quicker guns like the PP9M01 or do you think it's a waste?[/QUOTE]

[quote name='Buckeye23']The PP9M01 has the second faster fire rate of SMG'S, slightly behind the P90. It's damage is also second, behind the UMP (Which has the slowest fire rate of SMG'S). So rapid fire would be a waster of an attachment. ;)[/QUOTE]

[quote name='Thekrakrabbit']Not necessarily true. A PP9M01 with rapid fire is unstoppable at close range, although you have no shot at any kind of medium to long range firefight due to the rate of fire.[/QUOTE]

Just lumping those all for context. Personally I use the PP90 for running and gunning, I like the sights better than the MP7. I also run Rapidfire and Extended Mags, the difference versus Rapidfire and not is noticeable on the twitch level, if you've got the skills to twitch, it'll be an improvement over not using it. Otherwise the MP7 sights suck for me and I'm fairly sure the people who use it mostly use auto aim to compensate because it's hard for me to line up a shot.

PP90 isn't really made to take long range shots, I've found single shots tapped quickly are about as good as you'll get at medium range, long range and accuracy are not it's strengths. It's a bullet hose, you have to treat it as such.
 
I was busy so i finally got to download the new face off maps today. I must say they are fun, i played a couple 2v2's and went 16-7 in one and the other they left and i forgot my score. Its a nice change of pace for sure, but it pisses me off when both players are sniping, then again i owned em.

Exactly. If you run around and like to be engaged in CQC all the time, the PP90 can be a beast because it is a massive hail storm of bullets when you pull the trigger. Not anything at medium or long range (any AR should mow you down) but at close range it is tough to beat.
 
[quote name='TooMuchCoolness']I'm pretty good at Survival, anyone want to play with me? I have mic. Looking to break a few records.[/QUOTE]
I will play and I got a turtle beach headset too.

Medium to short is very doable but anything beyond that is literally peppered potshots. It's not about CQC all the time but you do end up doing a lot of running. It's only really good in the CQC sense if you're clearing out camped rooms and take 2 out on the way in, it's an absolutely awesome panic button gun which you're more likely to run into.

In terms of range I'd dub the real max effective range to be the full length of the tube in Hard Hat from the back wall to the end of the opposing unconnected tube. Which is about as long in distance as it would be on Lockdown from the beginning of the diner to the second floor landing. Anything farther than that is pure luck and even at the longest ends of the two examples, you have to burst fire. Bob, weave and misdirection are the only things going to help close distance and honestly, you don't want to face incoming fire closing distance. Misdirect to lead them to chase, catch them mid run panic button firing and score the kill like a proper troll.
 
That is the way to use it for sure. I have trouble with it because I like longer range exchanges since I have a good eye for seeing little campers 100 miles away, but the PP90 is a run and gunner's dream for the most part. If you can move in-between all the buildings and close distance you can really make it effective.
 
Running with Kaiser in HC Ricochet KC was interesting last night. I'm not used to HC / KC / or Ricochet but got lucky with 21/6 first round with my reaper. then i kept doing worse n worse. fun night tho ;)
 
I ALMOST bought a used copy of this this morning for $22. Hesitated because I had it for 360 and didn't think it was as good as Black Ops so sold it but was itching to play some Call of Duty. Wasn't sure if I should give it a second go or pick up another copy of BLOPS. Decided to go with the most recent game because that's where the community would be only to see the listing had ended. Drat.

Shouldn't be hard to find another copy for around that. MW3 copies are surprisingly cheap these days.
 
Does anyone notice the people in the face off games absolutely suck? I get around 35-40 kills each game with under 10 deaths, normally like 3 or 4 specialist all perk bonuses too. Imma start running assault.
 
[quote name='Thekrakrabbit']Excellent. I know a lot of people will not be interested because they got destroyed on Terminal, but if you knew how to play that map...wow.[/QUOTE]
I really wish they would remake more older maps with a different look, like they did with WaW Cliffside on black ops. I unfortunately never got to play that, but i would love it.

Maybe more WaW remakes would be awesome for sure. Or any remakes actually

Terminal CONFIRMED!
 
[quote name='blitz6speed']MW2 map? Terminal? Free? I may pop the disc back in when this hits. I miss MW2 maps so much =([/QUOTE]
Yep, terminal for free coming soon. So excited!
 
Surprised it looks exactly the same as MW2's version. Was expecting the time of day to be changed or maybe some weather effects, something.
 
there was always that one dude camping the back of the airplane to shoot you whenever you climbed the ladder! i loved to watch top of escalators/end of hallway.
 
Eventually, they need to make COD a engine where they can drop in maps as DLC from all the previous games and have one MASSIVE online game with the newest engine and all the maps available. I would pay a stupid amount to play on the newest engine with no hacks and all the good old maps.

Yeah, some way to have a new cod with all the old maps, DLC and all. For $100? Not a bad idea IMO
 
yeah iv spent so much money getting all dlc from mw, waw, mw2, blops, mw3 and then blops 2. it's insane and each dlc is contained so really doesn't help me at all, lol.
all of the games have diff quirks tho, like blops had that dive move and people died easier i felt. and now recon/marksman perk totally changes how i play. plus hardline pro used to let you re shuffle the care packages, whereas now hardline pro counts 2 assists as a kill point. so just lil differences. i wish i could play all my maps on one game tho... seems like a waste when i don't play them ever. especially the last bundle always seems like a waste cuz i play for 1 maybe 2 months n then the newest cod comes out...
 
Snipers only sounds appealing but you know it would only be filled up with a bunch of quickscopers going at it for 10 minutes. Unappealing. I like the idea of Hardcore Ground War and Barebones FFA.
 
Ok so i decided to play some face off. I get put into a game on getaway. The map looks amazing, but it it complete shit. Every other death i had was a spawn kill, within the second that I spawned. This map's spawns suck so bad its ridiculous.

^^ My opinion exactly ^^
 
[quote name='screwkick']^^ My opinion exactly ^^[/QUOTE]
The pool table easter egg is cool and I love that pool they added, but for anything but a 1v1 (even thats probably bad), the map is horrible. Ascetically, the maps on collection 2 blow all other maps out of the water. Collection 1 is still very nice too compared to the original maps. Overwatch ftw. :p and foundation now too :)
 
haha, got a machine gun juggs on a ffa from my care package. also had an attack copter in the air. i was 23/1 until the end. then it became a mess and i ended up 30/9. woot. fun stuff.
 
The popular Modern Warfare 2 airport map, Terminal, will come to Modern Warfare 3 on Xbox 360 on July 17 for Elite members and July 18 for non-Elites, but free for everyone, regardless of digitized classist regulations.

Earlier this week Infinity Ward's Mark Rubin outed Terminal for Modern Warfare 3, but couldn't provide a solid release date. Terminal exists outside of the Elite content drop schedule, and its PS3 and PC release dates are still to-be-decided, Rubin tweets

Yeah i forgot to bump this thread up with that. But PS3 is confirmed to be at least a month later, and they could not get past the agreement IW has with microsoft on xbox getting free and paid content 1 month earlier.

Anyway...we might get up to 17 more drops for MW3.

Quote:
You are actually getting a lot of content there are still many more MP maps coming. Plus other content. Faceoff is really popular but of course not everyone is going to like everything. The DLC we are doing is more than we’ve ever done before. Not just MP maps but SO missions, Faceoff maps, and other stuff that hasn’t come out. So from a content standpoint it’s a lot of stuff. As for the sale, that’s an Activision thing as part of a promotion and a way to give tie it in to a charity promotion for CODE. I get that you are upset, though. But just want to say that we are only half way thru the content. You’ll be getting a lot for your money.

http://www.callofduty.com/mw3/contentcalendar is the calender that shows only 7 more drops, exluding the free terminal drop.

Today Mark Rubin posted on twitter:

"More Terminal Info: PS3 and PC dates still TBD. No info there yet. Terminal is a fan favorite map that we are giving away for FREE. It's not a part of the content calendar so isn't one of the maps shown. Plus the content calendar is wrong at the moment anyways. There is more coming than what's posted there. "

So that calender is wrong and there is lots more, possible 17 total drops if it is halfway like he said.

Also, no more face-off maps too thankfully.
 
[quote name='Thomas96']I wish they would just release the DLC for everyone at the same time.[/QUOTE]
Agreed, and the contract was renewed for BO2 also. :(
