love the specialist+hardline thingy
running sleight of hand->scavenger->quick fire atm
after the first kill I need to reload sleight of hand kicks in, you start to need ammo at around 3-4 kills depending on accuracy, bam I have scavenger and about quick draw, idk, still thinking about what to put into the third slot
and like mentioned before also great for leveling up, the 350-400 per kill is very nice, especially for some who dies a lot like I do ^^ plus you also level up all the extra perks if they are on and there are specific challenges to just unlocking them iirc

We're not talking about the EMP killstreak, we're talking about the EMP grenade that you use in your tactical equipment slot.CcrooK said:
VGChampion said:Soap and Price are great. I loved the MW2 campaign but I guess your mileage can vary with it. I personally think most people like it as no one I know dislikes it. And I'm pretty sure CoD 1 had MP as I played CoD multiplayer on PC back in the day, never had United Offensive, and I think that was pretty much the only CoD until 2 for the 360 launch. Well, I guess there was that console only CoD for the Xbox, PS2, Gamecube gen.
And I may be going against the grain with this one but I wish the MP unlocking was slower. Maybe I'm just used to MW2 but I feel like I'm leveling too quickly and getting all my unlocks quickly. I don't really have a sense of reward this time even though I like using them. And I'm a little disappointed in myself for playing so much MP before SP for the first time. Now I know locations!
It felt like it took forever to unlock shit in MW2, I like this a lot better. I also hated having to use attachments that I didn't want to use to unlock ones that I did. I like the "use this gun a lot and you'll unlock shit over time" method in MW3.

Same here, I'm getting quite a bit of lag in a lot of games
Hope they fix this with a patch.Interficium

They don't, you're likely just exposing yourself. Lag + extremely high per-bullet damage usually results in an instakill if they see you first.

I've clocked more hours into it and I'm really enjoying the game. I try to join games via the GAF user name, and it only lets me invite people. Is there a way around this?
Got the SPAS-12 to weapon proficiency level 29 and can safely say shotguns in general are a piece of shit. Using the grip attachment and the supposed damage upgrade still doesn't result in one shot kills 50% of the time from point blank. Way too fucking random, waste of a primary weapon slot.

Assassin Pro gives you immunity to Counter UAV????? How could I ever not use this?
I just added the GAF clan name-does that do any sort of matching up on PSN?

COD's a reaction time thing. Coming from a middle of the road guy, you'll improve with time, but you know..it is what it is. Your twitch skills won't improve ALL that much, but you'll eventually learn to mind your cover and check your minimap more often.
Playing on a team would help..but it wouldn't make as much a difference as it does in BF3. Honestly, just have fun with it. Try out some different classes...get a feel for your play style through Spec Ops and Campaign..etc.
No special tricks really..and this is coming from a seasoned COD vet who's never been anything more than ok so..uh, wait..maybe I'm not the best person to give advice, haha.
So they took away commando. Good. BUT. People still knife me even when they're 90+ degrees away from me. It's annoying! They run besides me, then behind me and BAM, I'm dead. During my last game there was someone who even knifed me while he was 180 degrees away from me. How's that possible!? And yes it showed it both in game AND on the kill cam. IW should nerf this or shorten the knifing radius.

Yep, the matchmaking in general has been terrible on PS3.DarkFlow83 said:

Excellent. Coming from someone who loved COD 4, thought World At War had its moments, disliked MW2, and thought Black Ops was mediocre.
Right at the beginning they go out of their way to explain exactly how the Russians seige New York..they make it believable and keep the dialogue serious and tactical. It kills the stupid Michael Bay randomness vibes from MW2.
Plus, Soap and Price are in it a lot more, which is awesome. It's very comparable to COD4; maybe even intentionally so. It might even be better.
Worth a playthrough for sure.

You'll beat it in less than 6.border said:
border said:How short is the campaign? 4 - 5 hours? Since I'm paying RedBox $2/day, shorter is arguably better so there's no need to try and highball me
I just rented it from Redbox for PS3, and it took me from 12pm-5pm to beat it. Was a pretty fun story, I liked it. Way more fun than BF3 to me. Also, use the promo code DVDONME at the kiosk to save $1.20 off the one night rental. You can use this code once for every credit card/ bank card you have

No, COD1 absolutely had multiplayer. And it was awesome. I sank a ton of time into it. Little did I know what that franchise would become.

So after the rebates, amazon, XBL renewal and all that jazz, MW3+Elite only cost me 59.99 all together. Fuck yeah.
I must reiterate. This campaign was awesome.
Also, I bought Elite premium from the dashboard since the actual app isn't working, anyone know if that's enough to get it working when the thing actually ends up working?

So you payed like $150 for a game? Wow, congrats. Your local stores would have been restocked within a couple days. Why do some people throw money down the toilet like that? What do you guys do with the extra crap that comes with these packages, anyway? Put them up on display?

Holy shit the matchmaking is fast. At least it has been so far. (360 version)
I think I may have a theory to what the issue with hit detection people are having:
In this game when you get shot, your gun flails off your target a super far amount, and even if you drag your cross hairs on them in reaction to it, the game still seems to not allow a few more bullets right there to count as connecting.
I believe this design choice is intentional to make that gun proficiency ability that reduces how much your character flinches when shot to be something relevant to equip to your gun. The problem is it seems to be jacked up TOO high if you don't have it equipped.
Just a theory. Could also be the millions of people online are choking shit up, and who knows what kind of ping games you are actually in once you get in. Search starts off for <50 MS ping games, and then keeps going up until it can find you a match.

So I got kicked back to the main menu and now I've been trying to get into mp for about 20 minutes. I keep getting a message saying the MW3 servers are down. This is all one the PS3 too.
Can't say I'm surprised, I'm using a friends copy to try it out.. and I can safely say I'm extremely glad that I did not pre order this game, I'll probably pick up a used copy in the coming weeks though, there's no way I'm giving Activision any more of my money

According to the reactions here not alot of the GAFers are natural talents when it comes to COD. Neither was I. I improved some I think and some tips I'd like to give you is to focus on playing 1-3 weapons, get the hang of them. Look at your routes, are you walking out in the open/without cover alot etc. And most importantly, the minimap. Quite often can you anticipate where your 'killer' is coming from if you take a second or two to look at the minimap. That small thing is so so important.

I wouldn't be so sure that the Hardened Edition will be restocked. What's out there currently might be it.

Yeah, I was thinking this too. A lot of people scream "HIT MARKER" like one hitmarker means the guy should have died. The flinch in this game is more (I think) than it's been in previous games.
