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.
Yes PS3 here too.


And the SPAS from MW2 is my favorite FPS gun ever.

go on youtube, see the rating and comments on MW3 related videos posted by IGN, you will see why I say that.
Edit: Battlefield is not generic boring mess? May I ask you how.
Huh?!? I never said I liked Battlefield. In fact, I never picked up that game after that abortion of a demo. Stop being such a fanboy.

I just don't understand how if someone doesn't like this game, it's immediately because they must be a B3 fan. That just seems ridiculous to me. Maybe some people don't like this game based on it's own merits.

I've been playing quite a bit. Feels good. I love how I get points for everything.
Q4T

9 hours and 35 minutes played, Ranked at 45. Pretty happy with rank progression.
 
Can someone explain to me why the fuck people lined up for this? Walmart and BB both had a million copies today. Seriously. This isn't a fucking iPhone where of you didn't get the 1st shipment you may be sol for a month. These games are restocked everyday. Why even all the fucking fuss about per-ordering? Just walk in a damn store and buy it. Jesus.

Your argument was sort of incoherent. People line up because they want to come home and play it immediately after midnight. It's not a matter of the product running out. Also, pre-ordering is so they can just show the receipt and make the buying process faster for people.

I don't know if anyone will get what I mean but, how does the aiming in this game feel? Does it feel more like COD4? I feel like in MW2 there was a slight, slight tweak to the aiming where it felt a tiny bit different. I think it was to take into account the Lightweight perk.

I really appreciate that they kept the level up text really subtle instead of bombarding your screen, especially since there is weapon leveling now.

Enjoying getting XP for my weapons too. Not sure what I'm going to do when I hit level 50 on my PP90 though :lol

Level 37 - 6 hours played according to Steam.

Using the UMP with kick, red dot and gold skin, and specialist. Game feels great, the only negative thus far is the P2P interface. If they had dedicated servers for ranked like blops, this would easily be the best COD.

Anyway, I am really digging Kill Confirmed, it's fast paced, lots of xp and it requires your team to actually focus on getting tags instead of just hiding out.

The offensive or defensive strike packages are pretty great, I really like see a good team drop a ballistic vest package a few times each map.

This will probably be the first time I don't regret prestiging in a cod game, simply because it doesn't feel as grindy, and you get the option of carrying over one weapon if you use that prestige token.

Ballistic vest is pretty cool. I took a shot in the chest? from a sniper rifle point blank and survived :lol I'm assuming it's like 1.5-2x health?

You can't blame him though. The Battlefield trolls are out in full force in everything Call of Duty related to make sure everyone knows that their game is better & they shouldn't be playing CoD.

Picked this up before work tonight. So pumped you get home and play. Is it as good as GAF says it is? It's currently getting absolutely panned by users on metacritic

Is anyone else having weird mouse acceleration issues on PC? It just feels wrong and then occasionally I get the mouse just jerking around really fast. :S

Is it just me that thinks all the maps in this game are familiar from previous MW maps?

Man, shotguns are fucking WORTHLESS IN THIS GAME. What the fuck!!??

I have been doing pretty well with the Spas so far.

They are tougher, but it really comes down to how CoD plays.
 
Anyone livestreaming some multiplayer? Or have some videos of the average match. I'd like to see that in action in order help form my decision on whether I should purchase.

They feel like rehashes with worse layout and design.
I can't evaluate their quality yet but they all give a similar vibe from MW2 and MW1 maps.

Great... my NAT is set to 'strict' and no matter what I try, I can't get it open. Once again, a big thankyou to IW for screwing us over with no dedicated servers...

Guns take a lot more time to get used to, Seems more sway has been added to them, which is good.

Kill Confirmed is in full speed now, people are playing as it should be played the back and forth is hilarious.

My argument wasn't incoherent in the least. Your response is though. Standing in a damn lineup for hours is worth it to play a game a few hrs early, which just happens to be the middle of the night, after which infinite copies will be available on shelves? I mean, really? That's probably the pinnacle of irrationality. I honestly can't think of a stupider reason to lineup for anything. My mind can't even grasp the silliness of the concept. It was below zero here, and I witnessed people freezing their asses off waiting outside BB hours before. Yeah, that fucking makes sense, the damn game will be available in the morning.

How? I find that the only way to kill someone is to sneak up on them. Playing within CQC range doesn't do shit as no matter how close I am, it seems to always take 2 shots to kill. That's bullshit.
 
Ouch, total waste of $65, especially after buying BF3.

At least if the quality were on par I would play both, but BF's gotten so far ahead in quality that I cant see why I would play this latest MW installment.

I know some people enjoy the speed/arena style of MW, and Im not knocking your taste, just for me it just seems like the MW series has ground to a halt in advancing its style of FPS and to be honest, took a step back in fun.

I dont know, the arena/speed aspect of MW just felt "better" in earlier titles, the speeds still there but, I dont know, it just doesnt seem impressive anymore nothing grabs me. I feel as if Ive spent money on an overpriced map pack with some changes that arent all that exciting as the additions/changes that accompanied prior games in the series.
 
I am getting tremendous framerate issues on PS3. WTF Glenn Schofield or whoever you douche. You said PS3 version would be up to par. Probably going to return this for the 360 version tomorrow. Game seems amazing, but these slowdown issues suck. Seems like I am playing with bad lag but I got 4 bars. Game freezes for half a second every 5 seconds or so.

I'm starting to get similar problems too. And for some reason I can't even play any games through matchmaking.
 
Got to playing about 45 minutes online with some friends. Really digging it. Probably will play the campaign soon, but it isn't a priority.

First two single player missions are great. Spec Ops seems like good fun. Multiplayer initially seems like a less insane version of MW2. I'm cool with that.

I need to get the maximum enjoyment out of Decoy Crates in these first few days before everyone figures out how they work.

First impressions after 3 hours. Game is fun, but health is a huge problem. I feel I am dying a ton faster than any previous games. Im not amazing at CoD but I usually keep a k/d ratio of at least 1.3 or so, tonight? 0.70.

All the maps feel tiny and it seems like I just get a majority of unlucky deaths where a guy happened to run out behind me, as opposed to dying because I did something wrong,

I really hope they patch in a bit of a health boost, I think that would make a huge difference. I am like 80 deaths over kills, that's nuts for me.
 
I like the design of a lot of the mp maps. Encountered a lot of bugs in Spec Ops on PC though, seems like when the game de-syncs with 2 players it doesn't quit the match but keeps two separate instances of the game going. It's pretty bizarre.

I kinda regret buying this for the mulitplayer. Im sure SP is going to be great. I thought MW2 had great single player despite the haters.

That said. as far as MP goes. The series just seems to be devolving on the infinity ward side and BOPS acutally felt like a step in the right direction it terms of gunplay and design. From what ive played it plays like timesplitters 2 with modern guns. We've gone from really nicely designed 'make your own way path' outdoor maps of mw1 to quake style corridor spraying, blind corners, one or two long chock points.

It wouldn't have been so noticeable had BF3 been crappy. But i really think Dice created something special that seems to draw every last bit of power out of the aging consoles.

My personal opinion is the good map design talent left infinity ward.

60fps mw2 resolution no slowdown here. Maybe try turning off theatre mode? Not sure if it helps but that's what I did right away.

A return to form, sp wise. The game moves with the style and the speed of COD4, it's a blast. It doesn't have the looks of Battlefield 3, but it's not terrible. Great sound work.
