I can't connect to the Xbox Live servers for some reason. I'm connected to Xbox Live, and everything works fine. Then when I go to the Xbox Live section in Multiplayer and start the match search, it pops up a message saying "Communication with the Xbox Live servers has been interrupted." It then goes into an endless loop with the only solution being turning off the Xbox. Nothing can interject in that process, even the guide. Solutions?

so to those with the hardened edition, what do I do with the founder card? I have no idea where to put the code.

It's really not that bad. I played for about 3 hours last night and didn't really have any of the incidents people are complaining about here. I only ran into one dude that was actually camping. The maps leave little room for you to hang out safely in one area. If you apply just a bit of situational awareness, you will have a general idea of where the enemies are.

I think its awesome. There are subtle changes to the movement and gun balancing that changes the pace in a way. I used to dominate in the other games, but when I popped this one in I was having all sorts of trouble. Eventually I got used to it and started finding my classes and setups and now I'm starting to settle in nicely. Some of the maps really do suck though. Fallen is a map I always do bad on.
Also if you hated MW2 with killstreaks always in the air, then you'll prob like this one more. You hardly ever see the big assault killstreaks. Most of the time you'll see the B-2 because thats one of the bigger support streaks and its pretty easy to get if you can get kills in general. A lot more UAVs in the air this time around. I still havent seen an Osprey gunner(the top assault streak) or the assault juggernaut. Getting more than 12 kills with assault class in this game is VERY hard, at least in TDM.

You don't need it yet. Everyone who signs up for Elite gets Founder status through the 13th. After that point, I imagine there will be a way to activate Founder status with the code from the Hardened Edition.

Its basically there for insurance just in case you cant redeem your elite membership until after the 13th, like if you got the game as a gift or for xmas or something. The code you want should be on the back of the Elite Booklet. Type that into XBL redeem code or whatever method you use in PSN if you're on the PS3.

This game is shit, and it's just not the maps either. Can't stand the damage values, I thought Black ops had it right, even guns in MW2 with stopping power don't feel as strong as they are here. Guns are still really easy to use on top of that. I don't like the apparent philosophy behind the map designs either, with so much latency why make maps with non stop corner encounters? Alot of the changes to the killstreaks and weapon ranges aren't really improvements either; Some ideas were decent, others bad, but most come off as lateral moves, changes seemingly made just for the sake of it. Oh, and boo to Activision for charging for premium services, but yet still not providing us with dedicated servers.
I'm done with the game, next year i'll wait for impressions before I buy. I feel Treyarch can get it right though as long as they get the tech IW is using. For now though, I'm placing Infinity Ward on B team status.

Assassin use has started... Pussies are everywhere now. So fucking annoying to have to use a silencer since if you don't some dude that doesn't show up on the map will shoot you in the back. >_>

Only a matter of time. People will get sick of the 50/50 corner shooting and find an edge where they can.madmaxx350 said:

Now the Elite website has grammatical errors as well? The database errors were one thing, but now I regret ever buying the game!!1!
COME ON AND FIX THIS INFINITY WARD THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

One last thing, these maps are like the hellspawn children of Favela from MW2.

Dome is for you. Fucking horrific map, as was Rust.bud said:this is a million times better than black ops (ps3, lulz), but i'm saddened that there doesn't seem to be a small, rust-like map.
i loved those 1 vs. 1 matches.

Well this is starting to bother me. I'm playing on the 360 and even with the game installed my disc still spins and doesn't stop. I'm on a launch unit as well so it's as loud as can be.
And as for the maps discussion. I'm pretty disappointed. I still find the stock MW2 maps better than the rest. These are all cookie cutter city maps. Where's my variation? MW2 had Scrapyard, Terminal, and Highrise which were all pretty different from your usual maps. I'm almost tempted to buy the Elite package hoping we get some better maps. I never buy DLC maps on CoD but I may just very well this time.

Don't blame the players for using what the game gives them, blame the developers for giving it to them.madmaxx350 said:
Also, here's what the dude you just killed is thinking:
"Silencer use has started... dudes are everywhere now. So annoying to have to use assassin since if you don't some dude that doesn't show up on the map will shoot you in the back."

At this point after about 7 hours of MP time I feel like I have a decent grasp on several of them. Hardhat is my favorite, after that probably Village. The one thing I would like is a open type of map such as Afghan. Other than that i think it will just take some time to get used to them.

can't you just put in a different location or does the thing do IP checks?Dax005 said:My mate just posted this on our local game forum, dunno if there has been any talk about this, but:
We are both from Croatia (Europe), not officialy supported with xbox live, but can buy xboxes..
I mean, come on! This just ain't right... Dunno what to say actually...

Ok, just wanted to be sure about the founder.
So does anybody notice matchmaking is taking too long to connect with a party than going solo?

To me this game seems like 3 steps forward 3 steps back.

Weapons are balance (sans type 95)
Perks are balanced (for the most part)
Level progression and unlocks are more satisfying
-
The maps are fucktastically bad
Net code is total shyte
All shotguns are basically useless (Spas from MW2 and BLOPS is gone)
I am not as negative as I was when I first booted it up. I am glad I rented it.

I like the first shotgun you can use. I don't recall the name. I found that one to be solid. The rest feel subpar but I haven't gotten a chance to mess around with them too much.

In this case you really can't hate the player. Doesn't seem like the player that doesn't want to run n gun and trade a kill for a kill was given any other choice.soultron said:

The weapon damages are incredibly funky. I can't guarantee the accuracy of this, but here is a fairly extensive damage chart:computers putin' said:
http://www.mw3forum.com/showthread.php?p=632308
I know for a fact that I have had to hit people with the UMP 6 times, which is just fucking wonky. 17 damage per hit for it sounds right. Also, 20 damage per hit on the others sounds right. Sometimes the guns feel like they kill in two hits even though they shouldn't. 49 damage at point blank can 2 shot targets that take a tiny amount of damage from a fall or a stun grenade, things like that.

Man the ACR is a beast. I thought the Scar was good but damn I'm liking this one way more.
