The Spas is this game doesn't feel as good as MW2. That and the raffica were my favourite weapons in MW2, and the raffica is gone so I'm a bit sad.

 

[Brian Fellows]

killcams always lag though, that's not a netcode problem. It's similar to theatre mode lag. It's not what happened 1 to 1 a lot of the time.

I don't buy that at all. What I see on the kill cam generally makes way more sense than what I saw playing it live.

 

[NinjaFridge]

Sounds like the same Makarov to me...

Yeah but Makarov sounds like shit. He doesn't sound Russian at all. Or at least he doesn't sound like you expect a Russian to sound like due to Russian accents in movies.

 

[BannedEpisode]

1 Bullet would kill them, the other 11 would be for decoration.

Its all about flair.

But seriously, its one of the most satisfying feelings in multiplayer gaming.

 

[Deadbeat]

Yeah but Makarov sounds like shit. He doesn't sound Russian at all.

Remember, no russian.

 

[dmg04]

Any ETA on Elite actually working?

Payed 50 bucks for this shit....

Is the white speck in the sky on Fallen supposed to be the Sun?

 

[Fantasmo]

I feel like the Spas here is nothing, and I mean nothing, like the one from MW2.

You're right it isn't. It's still better than all the Black Ops shotguns though. You probably shouldn't ask my opinion though, I'm in the minority, I loved MW2 with a passion and loved shotguns as secondaries.

I loved that in GoldenEye. The death scene was so long, you had plenty of time to empty a full clip into someone.

 

[Adam Prime]

Just played the first mission on casual and one spec ops mission on Xbox. It was a lot of fun, more of the same Modern Warfare you've grown to love.

Looking forward to playing through the game. I like how you can actually search for Spec Ops partners this time. The last FPS game that I played was MW2, and this game already seems to scratch the itch for me.

 

[Noirulus]

Err, this has probably been asked many times already but,

Is this game worth getting? I loved MW1 so, so much and MW2 was good while I didn't like black ops. I haven't played an FPS in a while, how good is MW3 compared to the other recent CoDs?

 

[kayos90]

You're right it isn't. It's still better than all the Black Ops shotguns though. You probably shouldn't ask my opinion though, I'm in the minority, I loved MW2 with a passion and loved shotguns as secondaries.

Spas with Grip in MW3 is nowhere near as good as Spas without Grip in MW2. I'll have to see how that changes with the range upgrade.

Is that a serious question?

 

[DR3AM]

why do people drop money when they die? always wanted to know that

 

[soloscout]

I was just impressed he noticed it

 

[Raide]

Payback. If they killed you and you get them back.

 

[Tunavi]

I was just impressed he noticed it

haha you have to ask, what was he doing when he found that?

 

[TestOfTide]

LOL, no.

In black-ops, I could easily get jumpshots on opponents, could aim down the sights to tighten the pellet spread, and could get 1-2 hit kills within at least 20 feet.

I just tried the shotguns in this game and I am finding that I'm not even guaranteed a kill if I hit them within 5-10 feet.

Seriously, i can't believe I am saying this, but shotguns are worse in MW3 than they were in Black Ops. Anyone saying otherwise didn't know how to use shotguns in Black Ops.

EDIT: I'm also finding that a lot of things I SHOULD be able to climb over are not climbable.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I prestiged in COD4, MW2 and Black Ops but I only have 2 Prestige Tokens...

This happened to me as well. I prestiged in MW2 and BLOPS back in the day but only prestiged in COD4 this weekend for the first time. I wonder if that has anything to do with it? Either way, it's a bummer to only have 2 tokens instead of 3. PS3 versions, btw, in case that helps.

 

[Fantasmo]

Spas with Grip in MW3 is nowhere near as good as Spas without Grip in MW2. I'll have to see how that changes with the range upgrade.

True but I love that it's a one shot kill still usually.

The MP doesn't have the same magic feeling I got the first time I played MW1; MW2; BOPS; or hell even WAW for that matter.

To me the mp feels extremely cramped. The maps dont feel like real locations. I miss those spacy mw1 maps.

I haven't even played BlOps but I'm inclined to agree with this. Shotguns are so bad in this game even with ironsight.

 

[kuYuri]

This freezing for a few seconds in multiplayer in the lobby is really freaking annoying. Seems it affects some people (like me), but doesn't affect others.

We obviously didn't play the same game. I'm getting easy kills. I didn't in black ops.

Damn. To this day I think MW1 had the best FPS maps ever, there wasn't a single map I hated in that game. *sigh*

 

[TacticalFox88]

Finally finished the campaign. Wow. What a ride. However, I do have to say that

Spoiler

The War ending almost as quickly as it begun is beyond stupid. I know it's a video game, but the Russians invaded several countries and "lolpeacetalks" from the guy who ORDERED the fucking invasion in the first place. Um...what?

[TestOfTide]

I'm literally getting non-kill hitmarker after non-kill hitmarker in MW3.

If you didn't get kills easily with the olympia, spas-12, or stakeout in black-ops, then I can safely say you simply didn't know how to use them. Remember, black-ops is the game where there is an actual benefit to aiming down the sights with the shotguns and where you can use lightweight pro and sprint-jump-aim for easy descent jump shots.

Tell me about it. Hopefully it's fixed soon. It's incredibly aggravating.

 

[DR3AM]

you guys installed the game on the 360? any improvements?

 

[Mengetsu]

How about just avoid the internet? Or are you constantly surrounded by fanboys? Are they camping outside your house using your wifi to post on GAF?

Lol nah iv actually been accused of being one because I have a 360 and don't have a PS3 so yea..it's really tiresome. Just enjoy games for what they are and have fun with it. And don't worry I ain't letting anyone on the internet and ect bother me im enjoying the game. Worth the 100.00

 

[Dresden]

I doubt any shotgun in MW3 will rival the silenced spas-12 from BLOPS.

 

[The Xtortionist]

This is by far the smoothest shooter I've ever played on console (360). Framerate shits all over Blops. Hit detection and netcode do too. I'm loving this game.

 

[kayos90]

I doubt any shotgun in MW3 will rival the silenced spas-12 from BLOPS.

Was it as good as the Grip, hip-fire, spas? That was beast. I never played BlOps.

That's what happened with me in Black Ops. I say even more safely than you, the reverse. That you simply don't know how to use the Spas in MW3. Because this is easy, and that was an exercise in futility and worthlessness. I'm getting really sick of the Black Ops lies on this board. Care to keep going back and forth with me for the next year or so? I expect you will.

 

[TestOfTide]

I doubt any shotgun in MW3 will rival the silenced spas-12 from BLOPS.

Or the olympia in 1 person engagements and stakeout in 1-3 person engagements.

Olympia is shown on my CoD Playercard as my most used weapon, at over 15,000 kills and the stakeout at second most used weapon, with half as many kills, with my K/D being at 1.25 so don't tell me I don't know how to use shotty.

I saw you join my game earlier today, lol. I messaged you afterwards, but didn't hear back.

Better that than blowing each other up into oblivion I guess. Yes, it was super dumb that the Russian President wanted peace after sending his entire army over to America because of a misunderstanding. Also how satisfying was it for Price to finally kill Makarov and then just spoke that cigar.

Honestly, more people are having problems with the shotguns in this game than BlOps so I doubt that it's us.

 

[Dresden]

I think the silenced spas trumps them all. In power the spas-12 from MW2 is better but in BLOPS the spas was semi-automatic, with very fast shots, great hipfire and decent range. And of course, radar-silent.

A lot of the shotguns in BLOPS were junk but the Spas-12 with the silencer was like, so good.

 

[eek5]

Tell me about it. Hopefully it's fixed soon. It's incredibly aggravating.

I'm getting it too. Happens whenever my box communicates with the servers (after games, entering matchmaking etc) It's the most unpolished part of the game I've noticed.

 

[RedAssedApe]

hip fire works pretty well in this game. LOL

 

[dmg04]

I'll ask again; any sort of ETA on Elite actually working?

I'm guessing ou didn't trying using the stakeout or olympia with ADS.

I don't see how they didn't see this coming based off of preorder numbers.

Noticed the not climbable thing, loads of tactical peep holes are out of reach and its really annoying.

I feel bad for people who actually paid for Elite Premium. haha

 

[iSimon]

Can someone confirm whether the 360 version has 4 player local split screen multiplayer like MW2?
