Support NeoGAF

[kuYuri]

Is there any legitimate reason for having ranked matches peer 2 peer only in the PC version? Getting real sick of it.

Boosters. You can have 2+ people creating a password-protected game and just boosting their stats/unlocks/etc.

 

[SteveWD40]

So, I went onto a dedicated server, they had none standard kit but I could only select the default stuff. They said you could do it in Private Match but I assume that means you have to host the server yourself / be invited to the game by them?

 

[NinjaFridge]

Anyone else wish you could walk through people on your own teammates? Hate getting killed because I can't get by someone or I get stuck and can't turn around in time.

 

[Jrmint]

Well that's more ideal for Support or Assault. But yes, for Specialist...

Same gun setup.

Extreme Conditioning
Hardline
Steady Aim

Have Slight of Hand as the first, Assassin as the second, and Dead Silence as the third choice (unless you don't have that, then I'd go with Sitrep).

Yea I disagree, I feel like I move plenty fast without extreme conditioning.

I like having SoH as my first perk and Assassin as the first unlock.

Different strokes though.

 

[Mik2121]

So this is the Elite Founder Title huh..

I like this one:

[IMG]http://www.pwnedgamers.com/MW3/iw5_cardtitle_money_13.png

And I'm currently using this one:

 

[Nori Chan]

Man.. the FAD is hands-down the best assault rifle in the game, almost non-existant recoil, fast rate of fire and a larger magazine (I think?) it wrecks everyone at medium to long range fights. Sucks that it had to be a level 78 unlock, I had to use my token for gear unlock to keep it instead of the p90.

Really? I thought it was pretty weak at long range. It kinda reminds me of a SMG too

and ghost title? i came

Well, it's not the fact of speed, but the ability to get from one end of the map to the other or to get to key points for a quick kill or two. Since your first kill is going to be Slight of Hand, you'll have your quick reloads on the fly. So it's an easy two perk set up after your first kill.

 

[Nori Chan]

Oh and I have a question.

When you play as the SAS, what does SGT. Wallcroft say? Is it "Prepare Wings"?

cause that's just as awesome as "Let's Do This"

 

[dmg04]

@anyone who's prestiged twice

does the second prestige clear your proficiencies on unlocked gear?

"Who Dares, Wins."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Dares_Wins

 

[krameriffic]

Isn't the opposite true? Like if you're doing a lot of long-range shooting then doesn't the silencer not change the number of shots you need to land?

The impression that I had was that if gun X does 40 damage close up, and drops to 30 damage at say 10 meters, adding a silencer would only change where the damage drop occurs (say at 5 meters instead of 10). So if you're doing long range shooting, with or without a silencer gun X will be doing 30 damage a hit.

Or I may be completely off-base. I was under the impression this is how it worked in MW2 at least.

Silencers typically hurt you most at medium ranges because that's where the falloff ends up being different. The guns at long ranges still fall off to the same damage value (usually) unless they have changed that mechanic in MW3.

 

[Nori Chan]

"Who Dares, Wins."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Dares_Wins

Just as good.

but anything sounds good from that voice <3

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

As long as the symbols are in their clan tag then it's legit, there's some trick with the xbox keyboard to make them appear. THERE'S NO HACKING INVOLVED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

So I been filing complaints on people all day for system tampering for nothing?

 

[Sec0nd]

Useful glitch: If you enable colorblind assist enemy stealth bombers will show up on your radar.

And have hackers started appearing on the PC version? I was playing yesterday and there was a guy who was tracing my team mates through walls and snapping to people's bodies without over-shooting or under-shooting straight to everyone's bodies. Funny how he didn't go 25-0 though.. why don't hackers just go all out if they're going to do it anyway?

Statistically, it's not that great.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

It's kind of hard to get wins in this game playing by yourself...if anyone wants to play I am on often, just add my gamertag

[NinjaFridge]

Pretty much. Be warned, shit music.

 

[Dance Inferno]

ROFL!

So I'm rediscovering the beauty of the SCAR-L. This is what I've been running for the past few games:

SCAR-L
Attachments (Silencer and Hybrid Sight)

Stinger

Blind Eye
Assassin Pro
Stalker Pro

I'm loving it so far. Kills up close and downrange quite effectively, it doesn't have too much recoil even without Kick, and I'm impossible to spot no matter what the situation (UAV, Killstreak, firing my weapon). It does encourage a slower, more campy playstyle though, but then again run-and-gun isn't really effective in a lot of these maps (not for me at least).

 

[X-Frame]

PP90M1 + Range + Silencer

Slight of Hand
Assassin
Stead Aim

Don't even bother focus aiming unless they have some range on you. Otherwise, kill with ease.

Why use Steady Aim with an SMG when the differences are negligible? Use Dead Silence instead.

Tmartn - Weapon Proficiency Test

Start at 2:00 to see the SMG testing. ADS is a little bit better with Steady Aim but hip-firing there is no difference.

 

[Risette]

Can someone tell me the non-default control schemes in MW3? Specifically, is there one where you can ADS with the right bumper like Black Ops.

Anyone?

So, it works, go into Private Matches, create custom classes (all gear is unlocked) and as long as the server you go on has custom classes unlocked you can play with those load outs.

I may use the ranked P2P shit-fest from time to time to level up but as far as I am concerned dedi servers just got real.

 

[Sethos]

Finally got past the 2 K/D ratio and it's starting to really click, the maps are still the biggest pile of shit I've ever come across but once you learn the spots, get to know the weapons and play with people you know, it's just awesome. Lots of Search & Destroy <3

 

[Lolerzors]

So they don't get caught maybe?

Yeah but pc version has VAC anyway and since its a detection system and not based on reports, why don't they mind as well go all out?

Yup. Just give it time is what I'm telling my buds.

 

[AbsurdG3nius]

if you have 3 green bars, the game is unplayable.

Completely agree. There's even a huge discrepancy game-to-game when you've got four bars. Was playing Dome and opponents had three rounds in me before they had their guns drawn on my screen.

I'll go 30 minute stretches where I absolutely ADORE this game, followed by 25 minutes where I'm close to tossing my controller through the TV. Hoping IW can knock out some quick fixes soon.

 

[thezerofire]

So when does Elite go up? Are they offering an extension of that Founder business?

 

[Fantasmo]

There is no fix for netcode. Maybe one game in history has had improved netcode. CoD won't get it. A home internet connection can't easily host a 12 man game. Hell, 2 man games get hiccups. This is the best it's gonna get. The only thing they can do is either offer nearby dedicated servers (not happening) or giving a local only option. Don't hold your breath.

That's weird, I figured with a 15 Mbps connection I should be getting flawless games. Out of curiosity, what speed would you have to be at to be a truly flawless host?

 

[ismaboof]

Maybe I've hit many bad hosts, but this game is unplayable choppy on PS3 today

 

[Mr. Enigma]

All Elite memberships got extended by 30 days. Founder registration was extended through November 30.

 

[Enosh]

just did all the spec ops mission (did it on normal)
some really great missions in this, loved every second of it

oh and:
remember the turret mission you have to finish in exactly 4 mins?

 

[def sim]

p2p isn't some magic system where it's automatically as good as possible from the get go, dependent on the user. there's a netcode there that can still be optimized

 

[Calibur]

Is it me or does the 'Hybrid Sights' really weigh down the movement of your gun & move speed?

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Does anyone else feel like the matches in this game really fly by? I'm guessing it's the smaller maps plus the fucked up spawns resulting in more kills in less time. Not sure if I like it or not.

Yeah, which is weird since they last 7-9 minutes.

 

[TacticalFox88]

It's for game balance. You get a shit-ton of accuracy with those things.

Try Solo Veteran then ill be impressed. I managed to get rank 125 on the last mission. Get Destroyed Spec Ops

 

[Fantasmo]

This current generation of consoles got COD 2,3,4,5,6,7,8.

Unless there are bugs, I'm not expecting much.

That's my internet connection; more than capable of hosting a 12-man game, and yet Black Ops and now MW3 almost never make me host. You'd think it would be a no-brainer.

So here's my conspiracy theory. Remember when you launch MW2, the first thing you saw was a copyright notice about how the game uses technology from id Software? I believe it was using part of Quake 3's networking, which was rock solid. That message was gone in Black Ops; I think they had to switch to something else in order to get the Theater mode working, and so now it's gone from MW3 as well.

-.-
the picture is not about being impressed by a great score
and you can't solo that mission

 

[Sethos]

Anyone noticed a different with Theater mode disabled? Thinking of disabling it, it might use bandwidth / cause higher latency as it records or saves the matches.

 

[U2NUMB]

Days later .. still can not log into elite. What a total cluster...

I didn't notice any difference.

 

[vilmer_]

The first few days I was able to access a small portion of my stats on the elite site. Now it's giving a permanent 'throttled' page for the past 3 days.

 

[tsigo]

They have an entire separate company of people to work on the site, with basically unlimited resources and they still can't get it working after almost a week, it's pathetic. Disable the social network crap, cache stats every hour and serve static pages until you can meet capacity. It's not that hard.

Also I like how you can tell which shitty emblems Neversoft did because they all look like the bullshit the "skater kid" would draw on his notebooks in eighth grade.

 

[MrCompletely]

what does it looks like to your teammates when you tag enemies with the recon drone? Do they just show up as orange dots like a regular UAV?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Alright, DewXP friends. Got some more duplicate codes to trade.

What I have:
-- MTN DEW PERKS
-- MW3 CHARS

What I need:
-- MTN DEW WEAPS
-- MTN DEW MAPS
-- DORITOS STRIKE
-- MW3 STRIKE

I will accept the first request I get for each.

I'd rather they get it working fully than cut crap and put it out half assed.

They gave us a month free of it and extended founder registration till the end of the month, that's good enough.
