I used the Stakeout in Blops as an artificial challenge -- the hit detection and range was so inconsistent that it made life...uh, let's say "interesting" in the game. The SPAS in this game feels exactly like the Stakeout. Not a compliment.

Must say, anyone who says it feels like the MW2 SPAS is out of their damn mind. The range for shotties in that game was overpowered for a secondary weapon, but it would've been perfect for this game. And the main thing -- it was CONSISTENT.

Again-the MW2 SPAS was my favorite gun ever. Say what you want about MW2, those weapons all had their own identity and feel-you knew holding that SCAR how is was going to handle, what range it had, how to use the UMP, etc...

The weapons in MW3 are sadly more like the ones in Black Ops. It's a coin flip. Sometimes a shotgun will get you a double kill and other times you plug someone 3 times at the same range and they just smile and shoot you.

 

[madmaxx350]

They need to feed that "out of memory" bug, i remember it used to happen on MW2 and I got 2 losses because of it ...

 

[Kyoufu]

it's not the aim or recoil that makes the gun anti-user friendly, it's the 3 round burst.

Not an issue with rapid fire.

Just saw my first MOAB... so awesome.

might have to try rapid fire out then. can't imagine this going against a scar at closed range.

 

[Geoff9920]

Wow, so disappointed in this game right now. It's like IW got so caught up in how they do things they didn't bother to check out all the positive changes Treyarch made to COD in Black Ops. The single biggest disappointment for me so far has to be Domination. So poorly handled. The tiny ass maps with poor illogical spawns; maps that feel like they had absolutely no thought into how you need to move between domination points. It's almost as if they intentionally designed the maps to be as unintuitive as possible. Ugh...

 

[robertlebrone]

Kill Confirmed is so fucking awesome.

It is. I'm really digging Defender too though.

 

[tigerin]

for the last time people, if you want to have a good time with this game, go play kill confirm. i was literally thinking of returning the game yesterday when i got it. team deathmatch was a mess, it wasn't until i tried kill confirm that i started to enjoy this game.

 

[Kyoufu]

It is pretty deadly. Not used the SCAR so I don't know how it compares, but rapid fire makes it very good without the need for ADS. I've gotten triple kills close range.

It is. I'm really digging Defender too though.

Haven't done Team Defender yet. Kill Confirmed is just too fun not to play.

 

[sk3]

I think its time to raise the TDM kill limit to 100. With the small maps and high weapon damage, rounds are ending really fast. I wish there was a timed mode where you could hit multiple 10+ streaks. I guess there are always the non-DM modes but those aren't quite the same nor as popular.

 

[LifEndz]

Out of memory 14........

I saw that message several times today. First thought was when's the last time I upgraded the ram on my PS3. lol

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Elite is working, Xtortionist, make that clan nao!

 

[Kyoufu]

Kinda weird, I seem to be one of the very few people in my teams that calls for UAVs/Counter UAVs. Wish my teammates would use it too since it really helps in these weird maps.

ballistic vest and advance uav is where it's at.

 

[Teknoman]

ADS = aim down the sight = hold the trigger to bring your gun sight/scope up.

Also finally going to start the campaign tonight, and try some MP. hopefully I wont die a split second after I get in game lol.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Played for like 4 hours MP, feels so good. I'm back to digging COD.

 

[Kyoufu]

MOAB is the 25 kill streak nuke. It is pretty awesome.

 

[Fantasmo]

How are some of you leveling up so fast?

 

[Jack Scofield]

Dear God, I'm struggling to pull a measly 2.0 KD ratio. I should be able to do it in my sleep, but this game has been fighting me at every turn.

 

[Kyoufu]

Had a 4 hour double XP code as a pre-order bonus. Got me to 40.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Dude, I'm going through these contests for elite premium subscribers. You can win hoodies and Tshirts and shit.

That's really fricking cool.

 

[rapid32.5]

any estimates when they will patch this lagging mess ?

why not just call it "aim"

 

[Dance Inferno]

Wow, Demolition is SOOOOO MUCH FUN. Played it on Mission, which is also my favorite map, so that probably helped, but damn the Support Strike Package really shines here. Escort Airdrop to protect a bomb site? Check. Stealth Bomber to clear out a bomb site for a quick attack? Check. Juggernaut camping their bomb site and raping my face whenever I try to get near to arm the bomb? Check. I love it.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

:lol

25 kills in a row is really good. good job!

LOL are you serious? I'm sitting at 0.8, and you're calling 2.0 bad? You guys have some messed up standards.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

I played 4 hours absolutely no issues. (xbox)

 

[Fantasmo]

Whats up with that Mountain Dew thing? Can I buy Mountain Dew and get Double XP?

 

[rapid32.5]

I'm playing on PS3, Domination has been lagging a lot compared to Team or Search. I can't expect sure kill when the game is having these issues. Some guys drop after 2 bullets some after 15.

 

[Radec]

Is it true yhat the MOAB is unlocked at 35 killstreak?

 

[CorrisD]

After playing longer and during the day I am definitely enjoying it more now.

I'm wondering if my initial dislike came from being stuck in games hosted in foreign countries and the general lag that comes with it that would also happen on other CoDs when playing at 4am, and as such with how little it takes to kill now really just made is much less fun to play than previous CoDs.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

25, has to be all kills with rifle only.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Whats up with that Mountain Dew thing? Can I buy Mountain Dew and get Double XP?

Yeah 15 minutes for a 20oz cap. 45 minutes for a 12 pack box. 90 minutes for a Wal Mart 20 pack box.

You can also get double XP for Doritos.

 

[Dance Inferno]

I disagree, I'm seeing a lot of lag. It's not game-breaking but it's definitely there (shoot a guy at close range get no hitmarkers, then he knifes me kind of lag, or guy kills me within a split second of rounding the corner, even though on his killcam I see him firing at me for a good second or two). It's probably better than anything that was in Black Ops, especially considering it's only Day 2, but it's there.

Perhaps it's on your side? I played off and on yesterday and for about 4 hours straight tonight and it was flawless.

thats hard for me.

 

[unomas]

LOL are you serious? I'm sitting at 0.8, and you're calling 2.0 bad? You guys have some messed up standards.

Agreed, once I get on for multi I'll be happy with 1.0 or above, but I'm strictly a TDM player, so to me you just won't see many guys who play strictly TDM sitting at 2.0 or above. You can pad your K/D in other modes, but crazy high K/D ratios won't happen without some padding.

One match I rage quit and I was hosting that specific game. My connection is rock solid. You cant tell by looking at the ping who is hosting, it jumps up and down like in Black Ops first days. People over the mic have been complaining a lot too, definitely game based issue.

 

[Fantasmo]

There's a lot of Mountain Dew and Doritos in my future lol

 

[MercuryLS]

Got a guy into last stand and died (thanks MW). Next thing that pops up? +20 assist.

Smh..

 

[Brian Fellows]

There's a lot of Mountain Dew and Doritos in my future lol

I'm up close to the 24 hour limit because I mean threads on like 8 different forums asking for unused codes. As expected NeoGAF was the only place that gave me any crap for asking.

 

[vilmer_]

P2P automatically assumes you have an ample upload to host 10+ clients. It's hit or miss, but it costs less money in the long run for Activision.

 

[FallingEdge]

Hardline Pro.

UAV
Care Package

Or if you really feel like it, just UAV.

Fantastic.

 

[krameriffic]

I think it's simply that majority of people aren't high level enough to have Claymores or Bouncing Betties. I'd say give it time.

Also, even in MW2 when I started to use Sitrep in the last several months, you sometimes run into teams who use claymores and sometimes you don't. It's a gamble really.

The detonation time in MW2 was like twice as long. You could easily sprint past them and not even get hit by the explosion. In BO, it was like clickBOOM, in MW2 it was like click...BOOM. Also the lasers were FAR harder to see in BO, they were virtually invisible. I would so often run straight into one without even noticing it. The real counter to claymores was Flak Jacket, which was even stronger than Blast Shield is now (75% reduction vs. 45%).

 

[egoextrico]

I'm really enjoying this game. All the weapons feel great in hardcore. All the customization options are excellent. the maps are tight and mostly keep things flowing. Kill confirm is intense. So much less explosive/killstreak spam. Second chance is now kept to a bare minimum. Aiming acceleration is near perfect. Could do without the auto aim through.

Frustrated snipers/shotgunners need to play hardcore and use assassin I think. I'm not having problems, other than lack of sniping skill.

 

[RedAssedApe]

I feel depressed reading these posts from people about how they are so terrible at the game with their 2.0 K/D. STFU...lol ::cries in corner with under 1.0 K/D.

 

[TestOfTide]

Sounds like you didn't know to aim down the sight when using stakeout. It's a shame they down make the spas 12 in this game tighten its spread during ADS.

I just played some kill confirmed and within the first minute of one of the games I had 3 enemies spawn right in front of me and kill me after I killed them. Dome is just too fucking small.

 

[Korosenai]

Just put up my hardened edition for $120 and I already have two watchers. If I get at least $140-$150, i'm gonna go buy another one and do it again.
