Sniper nests? Hell no. You get up there with the M60 and you earn yourself some kill streaks. I loved that level.

Not if I'm in the match, you'll be gone in 10 seconds then. Hate that fucking tower.

Seriously it's an annoyance that I see that they've tried to remedy but for too many players all they care about it their precious K/D ratio.

I think it's just "new game/map syndrome" right now. Whenever a new CoD, or map pack for one, comes out, people have this very strange way of exploring the maps - by sitting still in a corner.

 

[Magik]

lol I'm still baffled to the day as to how I can unload a clip with steady aim, FMJ, long barrel into a guy who isn't even facing me, get hit markers, and then die in one shot.

Of course, the kill cam shows me aiming into a wall and buddy has already circled around me. =\

 

[Cake Boss]

Got a 26mb update on 360, what does it do?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

It's great but I want the map loading screen theme that sounds straight out of Mass Effect.

which map?

Just FYI, FMJ does not add to your damage and it never has in any CoD.

They want to see if it works, first. If not - they will make shit up nobody will notice.

According to weapon stats, it does. Its not s worthwhile addition, imo. Shoot through some surfaces easier? Isnt that what lag is for?

Weapon stats have always been wrong in every CoD, not just for the added FMJ damage.

Even still, my point stands. I shouldn't be losing gun fights when on my screen, I have a clear advantage over the opposing player and still lose the gun battle... BADLY.

Man I'm really frustrated right now. MW2, BLOPS1, MW3 I have always been a solid player. I'm not saying im the greatest player in the world, but the way BLOPS2 has turned out makes me look like i'm some scrubby noob.

It adds damage but only through walls. Regular bullets are identical.

 

[Mattdaddy]

SMR with target finder and select fire is vicious, you guys werent kidding. Then throw in either foregrip or quickdraw handle or laser sight or whatever your flavor is. Been using that with shock bombs and bouncing bettys (scavenger with this almost OP) and I think I have finally turned the tide on the SMG heroes.

For killstreaks Im going UAV, Sentry Gun, and either Hellfire missile or Lightning Strike. Those are low enough to get pretty consistently but also provide good kills. The sentry gun in particular is a freaking beast, its on steroids.

I went from struggling hard to be 14-15 to going 30-13, and Im not that great.

 

[fuenf]

Okay i finally gave in and switched to the R870 after getting my ass handed to me by a lagging Shotgun user. Couple of rounds later i got my first Warthog on Nuketown and it's surprisingly fun. But with the small maps and the lag it almost feels like CoD has become an instant gib game. Kinda lame to play like this but it is what it is.

This is still the official franchise theme song:

Damnnnn I miss Modern Warfare 2 sooo badly
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofO2WDmfTvM

I loved Search in that game ((((

It's only $10 now. I might pick it up again today. Too bad I can't reset my stats. I'm 10th prestige max level. Maybe I'll get it for PS3. What are the latest stats for concurrent players for PS3 and 360? I have both.

 

[Kung Fu Grip]

cant stop listening to this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGLYpYoXkWw

Yeah that lobby music is nice. One thing i look forward to every year with COD.

What track is the song that plays at the main menu?

 

[Kyoufu]

which map?

Raid I think.

I just plugged my PS3 into my monitor and WOW. I play much better with the smaller screen. Pretty sure I'm never playing COD on a 42 inch screen again.

edit: Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=GDEP5qbA0V4#t=281s

Anyone know the name of that track during load screen?

Those are the KNOWN fixes. The official patch notes haven't been released. Hopefully something with netcode and match making is addressed. Haven't played today though. Anyone seeing any improvements in connections/lag?

Well I just spent half a match not getting any hit markers on anyone, was a right shitty game. But a friend and I were finally able to get into a ground war match without the constant dread of balancing over and over.

I haven't had any of the "balancing teams when the lobby is full over and over" crap after the patch, but IMO the lag is as bad as ever.

 

[Jarmel]

Has anyone done a number breakdown of the weapons yet?

[Brian Fellows]

I'm on vacation this week. Was planning on getting in as much play time as possible but the lag is so bad that the game is just unplayable.

Good thing there is college basketball on all week to keep me occupied.

Some of those damage numbers seem off... The shotgun damage stats (not sure if they're per pellet or single shell) and the Autofire rate of the SWAT should seems high as well.

FALs max damage is 55 while SMR is 50. Something isn't right

Holy SHIT the lag is bad today

MW2 Lobby Theme is the best

 

[BadTaste]

Already getting fed up with this game, I had more fun playing MW3.

AR's can't combat SMG's
Only I take out UAV's
Host migration leading to the lobby closing
Auto-aim following targets when they're behind objects
Sometimes it still takes ages to find a server
Lag

 

[Linkhero1]

Have they patched this game for 360 yet? I don't think I'm going to be able to get back into it until they do.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Only I take out UAV's

Everytime I try to take out a UAV I get shot in the back. Easier to just ignore them.

 

[Cake Boss]

Ok I am getting more lag than I have gotten before, WTF is this shit?

Should have had a beta you fucking turds.

 

[Darklord]

I was thinking of buying 360 instead of PC. Besides graphical is there much different in quality?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Really hope they fix the Scorestreaks not stacking. Got a care package and as i was about to use it i got another one, but since they dont stack i only had 1.

It's not a bug. That's how it was designed. MW3 was the same way.

Pretty great, I think. I played with mainly that and the semi-auto shotgun for the first 20 or so levels, until I decided to become a pistol wielding lunatic.

Nice patch.

 

[Summary Man]

Sorry for asking this, but does anyone happen to have a 2-day XBL pass that they aren't going to use? The pass I used for Halo is close to expiring, but I wanted to Redbox this game this weekend. It's not much use to me without MP.

 

[Stallion Free]

Dat FOV slider increase.
