Fixed, in honor of the NSMBU soundtrack
Yea, I can hear other players footsteps. It's already saved me from getting shot in the back many times. This is with just my tv speakers. It's even more noticeable with headphones(of course).
Just unlocked dead silence, Feels good.

Anyone have tips for 1v1 encounters in MP? I feel like everytime I face another player, the outcome is random. Hipfiring with SMGs seems like the new hotness but it isn't consistent either.

Question to anyone that knows.
Let's say I spend a regular unlock token on Flak Jacket (not a Prestige Unlock Token).
Then I Prestige.
When I come around to the level gate, do I have to "rebuy" Flak Jacket? Or do I get to have it automatically unlocked?
Basically, can I have all major things able to be used by the end of the first Prestige? Since I'll have spent about 110 unlock tokens? Or can you only have 55 unlocked items each Prestige (until the last one)?

Hmm, I gotta try again later. I've been in the same room with another enemy and I couldn't hear shit.

Really frustrating getting all these inconsistent games coming from me. One game I have a 2.5 k/d then I get a 1.3..Just hitting the groove of the beginning of a COD game. Haven't really left the Tar yet since I'm already deep in it with leveling it up. Any Type 95, ACR, Famas, Galil type weapons known yet? Really would love something that could help me get more consistent,

This is the absolute worst COD as far as music is concerned.
My impressions (ps3). Coming from a guy who loved mw2 and hated Black Ops.
1) The game is a lot better than Mw3. Gunplay, maps, league play, scorestreaks.
2) Freezes happen way too often. I froze up about 3 times, a couple of friends even more over the course of the night.
3) As a player who cares about winning, it's a shame to see that if I 'dashboard' out of a match, I get a loss. Too often I join games in progress with no chance of a comeback, and now I'm getting bullshit losses. Makes the W/L stat meaningless. Nonetheless, hoping league play more than makes up for it.
4) Hardpoint is a nice addition, definitely keeps things moving.

After skipping the last few CoDs, I'd forgotten how much I've grown to dislike this flavor of FPS. Every campaign encounter is utter chaos; much of the time I'm just spamming left trigger to snap to nearest target, shoot, snap to, shoot, repeat. I typically don't even see the enemies I'm shooting at. It's devoid of finesse or strategy and feels completely mechanical.
I know it's my own fault as the series has been this way for years, but man, it's worse than I remember. At least the story has potential and the locations are diverse so far.

Pray to the Connection Gods and hope for the best. That's what I do.
It's not uncommon for people to Superman their way through your bullets. Happens to me 75% of the time ("omfg I freaking shot you, pumped 9 bullets in your head. Let's watch the killcam.... bullshit not a single damn hitmarker?! aaarrrgh". I don't know why I'm still not used to this lol.

Also, did anyone else's framerate dip into the sub-20 range on campaign mission 2? 360 version. The jungle section was a near-unplayable slideshow for me.
Nope, also playing in 5.1 ALL the explosions come from the back channels, WTF is that?.

You're playing CoD, the whole thing is a random clusterbomb of random stuff.

PDW-57 with suppressor and laser sight is just cheap. Unreal how you could just hip fire and be god.
Well I have had played the game for a few hours. I like the pick 10 and the maps are decent. In the other COD games I could finish positive in most game. Not in this game. I simply cannot stay alive. I am getting shot in the back all the time, I lose gunfights most of the time. Whenever I kill someone 80% of the time I die a second later because their teammate avenges them. I am not sure how I like the game. Right now it is just pure frustration going negative every game and getting killed every 15 seconds. This is the first COD where I don't think I am going to get better at it.

Lobby is full. Need more players to balance teams. Wut
Oh no don't get me wrong, I don't care about the stats in general, I just like to win; that's what I enjoy when playing. The fact that I can't look at the W/L column and get a true ballpark figure for my wins and losses anymore is frustrating.Dont let the stats control you man, makes playing much more enjoyable when you're not constantly worrying about stats, trust me
Anyways, any news on a patch to fix pc performance? shouldnt have to run shadows on low for decent performance...
For example, I went something around 14-2 tonight, but 5 times joined games in progress, losing heavily. Shown at 14-7. Not a big deal to most people I'm sure, but I don't understand the rationale behind the change.

Is the Ps3 servers down or something?
I played one game, got caught in the the "Need moe players for game to start" lobby wait...
exited out that lobby..
Now when I try to join a game it says "No games available, try again"
I went and played Zombies, came back after 10 minutes of that and it still says "No games etc.."
I really, really, really regret buying the PS3 version for myself..
I bought my son the 360 version and he said he had no problems all night, then commented how my PS3 version looks terrible.
Even today when I got home and went to play I had a series of connection problems that mad eme quit playing.

someone over at reddit said to uninstall texture pack, that it cleared up a bunch of issues for him after he deleted it. thought I'd pass the info along see if that might help some of you out. good luck!
Really can't recommend this game the MP is a joke, maps are the size of my apartment. Cannot hear foot steps at all with my headphones. I wanted to like this but it isn't going to happen. Haven't been into cod since mw1 but figured I would try again. The game is what it is, if you don't mind the above its not bad. Small maps and no foot steps are huge negatives for me. Getting killed 90% from behind gets old.

Yep. Blops had much better MP. Much, much better.
Makes me wonder why there is even sniper rifles, the maps are so small there isn't much point. I was owning snipers with assault rifles lol.

I disagree, i hated the MWF3 and BLOPS maps, but these maps are fantastic so far. They look beautiful and all play differently.
Yesterday.
Oh wow, thanks.

Updated impressions of multiplayer from the PS3 version now that I'm level 28:
- The UAV is an anoying problem and is somewhat overpowered given that Ghost is a level 55 unlock and C-UAV a level 33 unlock, but the stinger is unlocked from the start.
- The spawns are fucking atrocious and easily the worst for the entire CoD series. I'd say 75% of my spawns result with someone spawning directly behind me. Revenge spawning from MW3 is back.
- The maps are small like MW3 but are designed to make them 'feel' big - they basically consists of a long rectangular maps, but they are overflowing with rooms you can go into.
- Due to the small maps, encounters are quite frequent. It is never a 1v1 situation, but rather always 2v1 or 3v1. Dying within 1-2 seconds after spawning is also quite frequent (and annoying).
- The game is largely gun-on-gun action now; no one bothers with killstreaks aside from UAV and care package.
- Getting high-end pointstreaks is not easy; you really need to earn it and a large % of that involves luck. I've played all day managed to get the lodestar only twice.
- Equipment is beefy; you can't knife it and they pack a punch making them useful finally.
- The game doesn't really feel like it's 'unlocked' until you're around level 20 - that's when more content and worthwhile weapons/attachments become available.
Aside from that, there's definitely some issues going around on the PS3 version. I've only had 1 hard freeze, but out of my group of 6 we all experienced lockups, including 2 people encountering a freeze more than once. There's also an annoying fucking issue where despite the fact the room has 12 players, it continues to saying it's looking for more players to balance the teams and does nothing.

PW with silencer and laser sight. At least from me trying it. Don't even have to waste time to aim down sights.
I played against a whole party that had the same gun combo.

Im using mp7 with silencer, extended mag, and quickdraw. Seems to work pretty well so far.
Got to play about an hour with my clan, one of our top players without camping kept getting the Lodestar and VTOL Gunship. We owned a couple of clans in the process. It was domination 9v9. Unfornately we lost connection and no matter how many times we tried changing party host, we couldn't join a game. I called it a night!
I do like this game better than MW3 already since those that earn the higher killstreaks are not getting destroy by enemy support EMP's BS.
Great game, now fix the connection issues!

okay.
Just finished the second campaign mission.
Absolutely lost it at "We finally got one over on this... cocksuckaaaaah."
Best video game dialogue ever.
On the multi side I've been having better results than last night. Been sticking to Kill Confirmed for now. I'm just playing pub groups and it's a mixed bag. When I get matched with a team that actually works together it's a whole different experience.
