It took me according to the main menu section of the campaign. 10 hours and 48 mins to complete the main campaign on normal. Some of the missons are pretty long.

I do often wonder if people play on easy then say they played it on veteran

According to the menu it took me 17 hours and 19 minutes.
That includes a play through on regular and a play through on Veteran and going back to get some of the Intel and getting some trophies.

 

[CorrisD]

I generally don't play past level 40 in CoD games and move on to something else due to all the games out at the same time, but I really hate having off days.

But in that last one, 3 kills and 17 deaths, I think I spent most of that match watching kill cams than actually playing after constantly getting shot in the back, turned it off in frustration, im so hardcore.

The type 95 is such a beast. The Assassin perk also seems to have a lot of advantages...does it have a counter?

Grenades

 

[Dabanton]

Game has grown on me, spawns still need work tho

The spawns on some of the maps are disgracefully bad.

I am loving Specialist, just got my second M.O.A.B with it

 

[JB1981]

What's up with the lack of oomph to the sound on 360? I am playing over regular two channel stereo audio (component cables). Is it better thru HDMI?

Not sure if this is a serious post judging by the bolted part.

 

[Kermit The Dog]

The controls in Theater are arse backward. Why change that stuff from Black Ops when it worked so well? As far as I can tell, there's no way to view a first-person perspective of another player, only yourself. Additionally, the fast rewind isn't pressure-sensitive like in BO, you've got to manually toggle the speed with the D-pad. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?

There's also no way to view another player's combat record, which was one of the best bits of BO. Or the ability to manually toggle the audio settings. It's just those little things that Treyarch did but IW/Sledgehammer refused to include. Fucking ridiculous.

 

[JB1981]

yes it's a serious post why wouldn't it be? The sound is "low" for lack of a better word, I have to turn the volume up much louder than every other game I own. It's odd.

 

[Jrmint]

FMG9 really is a monster up close.

My first couple games I wasn't really sure how to use it best, but now in tight quarters it is always by my side, and I win most battles up close with that thing over most primary weapons.

By the way do secondaries also have 30 levels, or is it only 10? I guessed 10 because when you look at the unlocks the last one comes at level 9.

 

[Lima]

MW is lacking the "oomph" though. Compared to Battlefield the weapon in MW sound like toys.

 

[Ivan A Nguyen]

Just as an Elite update: It's working better for me now. I still haven't tried to register as a founder, but the stats are pretty cool. I really wish they would add challenge descriptions in as well.

Neat. For the last few hours all I've been getting has been "Throttled" on the website. And the PS3 app is giving me a server error. Hopefully they get all sorted out soon and also release the iPad app, I wanna take a look at it

 

[MarshMellow96]

I would return the question. Unless you're on veteran, if you follow the pacing of the game you'll breeze through the campaignin 5 hours: example.

Managed it in 8:44 on Veteran. Guys must really blast through it for 5 hours.

 

[Hixx]

4 hrs 47 mins on Hardened, only got about 10 intel though. A good 20 minutes of that was spent retrying the last level too.

 

[dmg04]

How can ANYONE say that?
Every time i play BF3, it sounds like i'm shooting popcorn. The explosions and vehicles sound great, but the weapons... they remind me of the Halo 2 SMG.


I love the weapon sounds in MW3.

 

[Kyoufu]

No problems with weapon sounds here, but I don't like how tame footstep sounds are when on normal ground. I can hear them when enemies go up/down steps but otherwise...not noticeable enough IMO.

 

[def sim]

That's veteran. It's understandable if some people take longer than usual. Any other difficulty and it's just an awesome stroll through a corridor, going through set pieces. Five hours is not rushing through, this isn't exactly an RPG where we miss stuff.

 

[BankaiZaraki]

Not too thrilled with the maps but I'm trying to make do. I have my sensitivity set to 6 but it still feels like it is taking me a long time to swing the camera around so I can spot enemies better. So fucking annoying when you see an enemy to your left or right and you try to swing your weapon to that spot but before they do that, fucking get killed.

 

[Ovid]

I use the Support strike package more than any other package. I love getting that EMP. I guess I just got sick of using killstreaks that kill.

 

[def sim]

The other day a friend of mine was able to join my mercenary match even though he shouldn't have. IW better fix that though it was fun messing with uncoordinated randoms.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

So iv done all but the last solo and the 2 co-op spec ops missions on veteran solo. Will i have any problem with the campaign. Any parts i need to watch out for. Got to say the spec ops seem easier than MW2 but i imagine thats because you dont have 9 juggenauts after you

Played with my friends in mercenary on Black Ops all the time. All you have to do is go to your friends list and select "join game".

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Just noticed I got my Elite 2 hours double XP and the callsign and emblems this evening. Elite still not working for me though.

Isn't there supposed to be a gun camo too?

 

[JB1981]

Cant go back to reg team dm after kill confirmed. So much camping

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Yeah I started noticing a lot of jtaged names already.

Get your fucking shit together IW. 5 Games of the same series & every single one of them compromised in the first few days.

Record them/screen shot them and link it on twitter to robert bowling.

Side note.

People rely on map too much. Silencer and Assassin eat people for breakfast.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Game has grown on me, spawns still need work tho

Same here, though I am hating on a lot of the maps still, I'm finding my way around them. If they can fix the spawnpoints and maybe up the player health some via patch, the game will become a lot more enjoyable for me.

 

[BruiserBear]

His point was that it shouldn't allow your friends to join you in Mercenary TDM. You're not supposed to be teaming up with friends in that mode.

I agree but they didnt fix it in past games so i dont see it happening now.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Yeah I've been wondering that for a while. I got all the other Elite stuff but not this gun camo. I think it's a founder camo though, and I don't know if I've gotten founder status yet.

Anyway I just discovered an awesome new loadout (well, not discovered, my brother basically told me to use it). MP5, extreme conditioning, assassin, steady aim. Just run around hipfiring like a crazy person. It is surprisingly effective, especially on smaller corridor maps like Arkaden and Bootleg. Got my first reaper playing this way, it was quite awesome.

I run that set up with the PP09

 

[BlueScrote]

This may be a stupid question, but what is the etiquette on inviting people to play with you on the GAF tag? Just invite everyone on the tag that is playing and wait 5-10 minutes?

 

[Dance Inferno]

I was considering that too actually. I'll give it a try, see how it compares to the MP5.

 

[Mik2121]

These are my classes right now (1st, 2nd and 5th, the other 2 are default so I 'deleted' them):

And yep, TEST CLASS B is a copy of A, but with a different killstreak (the specialist).

The last class is the one I use to level up new weapons.

Best gun in the game.

Loved the combat record stuff in BO. Its a shame they never bothered to include it in this.

Free for all is even more of a cluster fuck than mw2. holy balls

 

[Nori Chan]

How does Dead Man's hand work? Is there a video of it yet?

When you die you let off a massive C4 explosion killing anything near your corpse.

Rambo PP90 class in Seatown map is just way too much fun. Turning those corners at high speed, mowing anyone who dares to cross your path... Fuck yeah.

 

[Bumhead]

Free for All is an absolute joke on this game.. totally pointless and like you say, an absolute cluster fuck.

There's absolutely no sense of teamwork on MW3 generally but at least with team games you can walk around the map without being shot by every person you see every 7 seconds.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Looks like the max length of your clip with premium is around one minute.

Here's a clip of me getting some neat kills last night. The first two were the cool ones. The rest of the clip is to test max clip length.

Grenades sound like crap in MW3 though.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Can you really level up faster from using Specialist? Tried it a couple times but didn't notice much difference. Do you have to build up huge streaks?

 

[Y2Kev]

I beat it. I thought the SP was the weakest of the three games, but it still had some interesting levels. Kinda like...interesting ending.

 

[DarknessTear]

P90 is so beast. I rush around the map with a silenced P90 and just do work.

 

[Zabka]

These maps feel like something outta Hellraiser. They're crazy, multi-leveled labyrinths with no logic to the their layout where you only occassionally get glimpses of dark, formless shapes that dart between charred obstructions, spraying bullets from the tops of their heads. Just after you think you've killed someone, they appear behind you seconds later plunging a knife into your back.
