Do you have to step over a bouncing betty for it to activate or is it like a claymore where you only need to sort of walk near it?

Any Australians keen to play tonight? I'm looking for fairly decent players who usually go positive.

I was going to lose myself in Skyrim again, but I knew I had to complete this games campaign today before I did. I had already done 14% before I booted it up, and as per usual I went with Veteran.
Took me 6 hours and 11 minutes.
Frustrating parts:
The tank sequence in the car garage. Your A.I Driver is a fucking moron and drives through a wall into a complete 360 surround of death with like 9 RPG guys. I constantly died over and over and over no matter what I tried. Finally the game just for whatever reason gave it to me. I swear no one play tests these games on Veteran. :/
The final area once you are inside. The outside part was fantastic, but the inside was a test to see how fast I would get pissed off I guess. Extremely disliked it, and it was a shitty way to end the game's final gunplay sequences.
Awesome parts:
I loved the part before you get into the final area. You feel like a total bad ass.
Hilarious parts:
This game's "No Russian". BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRDS! I laughed so fucking hard. Wrong reaction I know, but it was done so poorly I couldn't help but bust out laughing.
Overall thoughts:
The least amount of shooting ever in a CoD campaign. You are either running to a point completely avoiding conflict, riding in some on rails sequence, or just flat out going from point A to point B avoiding fights. Quick time events a plenty, and the overall gunplay I felt was the weakest in CoD games. A.I buddies in more than one sequence wear the same color outfits as enemies, and you'll quickly end up shooting team mates on accident. Throw in the awful get shot once and your gun shoots to the sky so you can't defend yourself mechanic, and you'll get a lot of cheap deaths. Thankfully(also shitty) is the fact that the game is so short, that the frustration doesn't hit fever pitch like World at War which still has the worst campaign of any CoD.
It was a solid way to end the trilogy, but I much preferred MW1(best in the series) and MW2's campaign. Black Ops probably would be tied with this, but the overall story is slightly better here thanks to memorable characters.

This game is such a rollercoaster for me. Yesterday I was doing pretty good and we won a lot of games but this morning I was constantly getting shot from the back, dropping like a fly everytime the enemy saw me and losing every close match (two 7400-7500 losses and one 7300-7500 loss). Damn, this shit is frustrating when things are not going your way.
And I don't get the graphics hate... show me a better looking FPS console game that runs at 60 fps? I think COD has some of the best gun models and animation there is and I will always prefer a smooth framerate over some fancy effects or better lighting. Well, I haven't seen the PS3 version but it can't be that much worse than 360 which looks pretty good to me.

Agreed, I finally unlocked it at level 27, and I've had some of my best rounds yet using it, and I admittedly am not very good at the multiplayer, but in free for all it's been a heaven sent. I finally got to 1.0 in K/D, about 500 kills and 500 deaths. I'm not sure how well it will work in other game modes, but in free for all it's helping quite a bit. I'm a level 31 now after 8 hours in the multi.

The IQ is a great improvement over Black Ops on PS3 that's no deny, but the lack a real, competent art director is really obvious. Compared to MW and MW2, this feels like there wasn't any art manager or defined AD because of the lack of consistency over the SP nor the MP.

Does anyone play this through a surround sound setup? I don't seem to be getting sound via the rear speakers, especially the chatter. I've noticed this before but not really cared, but I'd like to sort it out now as I need to face the talking person in order to hear them.
I'm connected to a Sony DAV-DZ260 via the optical cable. The 5.1 sound option on the xbox settings is selected. There is a WMA option, nit sure if that makes any difference.

Fuck man, still no founder's title or emblem for me 
Pissing me right off!
And to top it off I just saw a guy in my lobby with the damn things, I haven't been able to login since launch day :\
I am doing it right?
Purchase Elite from the store, login with my callofduty.com account, sign up for an elite account, play one game.......login to CoD Elite website, receive goodies?

Had the most fun I've ever had playing call of duty tonight. Met some cool players and grouped up with them for like 7 hours of hardcore search and destroy, and a little bit of team defender.
Highlights were:
Wrecking a team with just a USP (my favorite gun)
Wrecking a team with the striker on village of all maps
Going 22-2 on overpass hc s&d soloing the enemy team twice
Playing a party of excellent female players. We barely won.
Discovering how much of a blast team defender is with a good group
Lag problems are pretty much nonexistent in hardcore for me. Guns are awesome. Customization is awesome. Killstreak options are awesome. Toned down explosives are SO much better. No map ruined the fun, infact I like them all just fine.
Best call of duty ever for my tastes.

I notice that a few hours ago....Besides that, working on my quick scope skills...JB1981 said:
Love this game but I have a few niggling gripes.
1. The UMP-45 is the most overpowered weapon in CoD history, worse than the M16 from CoD4, accuracy, damage, firerate are all fucked up.
2. Host Migration never fucking works, it sucks!
3. Getting joined into a server with 1 kill remaining is stupid and it happens all the fucking time.
4. Where is my Founder's Status?
5. Why does Survival end when my team mate pussies out?
6. Why do I have the shittest team mates every single round in TDM? e.g I'll go 22-4 and the rest of my team will have an average of 0.35k/dr.
7. Where is my Founder's Status? I paid £35 fucking quid for this bullshit!

Funny enough, others say that the snipers are the most overpowered, others say the Type 95, and others say the ACR. With so many "overpowered" weapons, you'd think they are all on the same level, and in the end none is really so overpowered.CozMick said:
Works fine here. Only once the host died and we went back to the lobby, but I've played 15+ hours already.CozMick said:
If you keep leaving the last room you were playing at, it might happen. If you stick to the same room though, no. Also, I usually join matches that are still on the first half, and rarely I enter a room that's about to end. I don't think you do, either. Sounds more like exaggeration, and seeing your earlier comment about the UMP-45, it could be indeed...CozMick said:
Elite is messed up right now because of the server stress. They are working on it, and if you ever bothered going to Elite you'd see it says they are working on it and you all will get your Founder status, plus a 1 month extension for the troubles.CozMick said:
Dunno, haven't played Survival with a friend. Maybe survival changes depending on whether you're 1 player or 2, and if one of you two leave, it would be too much for just one player? Just guessing, though.CozMick said:
It happens to everybody. It happens to me too, and the best you can do is either hope for a better team, or play with friends that are good so you can win the match. Either that, or not bother much. Or leave the game and join another (though this could be the reason why you join so many matches about to finish.... lol)CozMick said:
You already said that. Visit Elite and you might get some solutions over there.CozMick said:
I fucking hate the multiplayer in this game with a passion. I've gotten multiple nukes in MW2 and used to be in the top 800 for a while in Blops with SpM but for some reason I just keep getting killed and it seems impossible for me to keep a solid kill streak going. It's infuriating!

I see the hysterics and hyperbole hasn't died down yet.
I think this game looks good and runs great. (360)
Host migration almost always works. (again 360)
Yes, on some maps I am getting shot in the back more.
I'm not having that much trouble getting helicopters regularly in Team Deathmatch (6 kills with hardline), and with the copter in the air I usually get another 5. I'm a decent player, but not great. K/d is 1.46 currently. I focus on controlling the power points on each map (if there is one).

Some people have colored elite titles, not sure how that is.
How well you play depends almost entirely on your connection to host. Such lopsided stats. Almost every round there will be like two guys that are 35-2 and every other play is breaking even. Something's not right. I am an average player but I never got this fucking POUNDED in COD 4 and MW2.

That's interesting since Blops has the worst spawning system of any multiplayer shooter ever. I'm finding the opposite true. Running specialist in ffa and getting 8+ killstreaks to unlock all perks about every other game. So fun not relying on ai choppers and doing all the dirty work myself and being rewarded to keeping doing that better. Although getting host every game and using the UMP might be considered a tad cheap. At least it isn't grenade launchers eh?Sec0nd said:
Y'know what? This is the first time I've thought about doing higher difficulties of the campaign. I guess MW3 campaign really is easier than the other ones.
In all the previous games I die so often on Normal I never even think about doing Hardened. In COD4 and MW2 the tutorials even suggested I play on Easy. Maybe I just suck that much (I never prestige'd in any COD game, and my KDR has always been pitiful). On my normal run of MW3 though I probably died less than 10 times. The only thing I've ever done on veteran was the Call of Duty 2 demo.
That's peculiar because in most action campaigns this gen one difficulty above normal seems to be optimal for me: Heroic in Halo, Hardcore in Gears, etc., even if I get killed a lot. Not so for COD.

Fuck yeah, got all my elite shit.
The silver elite and the green elite title. The broken skull and the red skull with chevron emblems and my winter weapon camo.
I think one set of titles/emblems is for using elite, and the other is for being a founder.
Edit: Yep, I'm right. It shows founders status for me on elite now.

Most people who know how to play this game that I have met do. Whenever you start beating on them, they switch to the godly Assassin, forcing me to use a freaking recon chopper every game is so annoying when I could have used the slot for something else.
As it does to me on PS3 except that weird bug where you stutter all over the screen(happened post patch once)BruiserBear said:

This is so much harder than it used to be in other COD, Maps are too small for the most part and I also believe the spawns are bad.

Just finished the campaign on normal. I think this is one of the first CoD campaigns where I wasn't tired of doing the big, all out war set pieces. Even with MW2 I was a little tired just constantly fighting. The set pieces blew me away with almost every level. Probably give it a bit of time before going back through on Veteran while collecting all the Intel. Actually, I may go through 4, MW2, and then do my Veteran run with MW3 for the whole story.

Still slightly disappointed we didn't get an after credits level. I really thought we would get more. Don't know if I want another Modern Warfare with who we have left but I want to see the aftermath!
