my apologies for contributing to the OT tangent.
Carbon is a great map for SMG/Shotgun specialist builds. take your time, check your corners and you have great success
[edit]
have to agree with interchange not being that great. i seem to have terrible luck making any kind of good runs on that map regardless of my build

I can play COD from work
. I did not mean to derail this thread.OT: I too hate Village. Only map I can't seem to get my head around. I have some success hanging out around the bridge / village area but if I set foot in the caves I'm done.

I've got about 600 hours racked up over the COD games and I can always play more Search and Destroy or Domination

Having a lot of fun with the game. Just beat the campaign, which was very good (although despite all the action felt like it lacked at least one more chase or something, dunno) and just started Spec Ops which I feel so far is more fun/less annoying than in MW2.

I feel SP lacked that one OMFG moment like the nuke in COD4 or No Russian/Space section in MW2 etc.
It was a very good end to the trilogy, though. Just not quite as good as the other two.

Really? I thought it had quite a few.
The part where that van explodes near the family almost made me fall out of my chair. Also when Soap dies I was distraught; I mean YOU were Soap in COD4, they just brought the whole trilogy together so well.
If only multiplayer were as good. I will say I'm enjoying CTF and Demolition, and generally I think the maps are better in objective gametypes than in TDM or Kill Confirmed. Dome, for instance, which is an absolute disaster of a map, is a lot of fun in Demolition.
For whatever reason though, I absolutely cannot stand Domination. Not in MW3, not in any of the past CODs. Which is weird considering I was a HUGE fan of Battlefield 2 and 2142 back in my PC days, and those games were essentially only Domination. But there the game was strategic, here it feels more clusterfucky to me. Maybe it's because the maps aren't nearly as big as they are in BF? Dunno.

This shit is hilarious.
I play better solo than with the people I know and am friends with that I know aren't good.

Oh, COME ON.
Every single online videogame has a standard deathmatch & TDM of some kind. Can't really call CoD out on it.
At least they have well over a dozen different playlists & more than any other comparable games.
No one seems to be calling out Battlefield, even though they added nothing to the standard Rush/Conquest/TDM over the years or the Crysis 2 MP, which it did nothing over the standard FPS modes.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I can't decide between Kick or Focus on my ARs, and keep flip-flopping between the two. I feel like they both have their benefits, but at the same time I can definitely live without them. Maybe I'd be better off just going with two attachments red dot sight and extended mags I guess? I loved the holographic in MW2 but I feel like it obstructs my view in this game for some reason.

Yeah. Dome is small but somewhat open. The only open spot in Carbon is covered from above by half a dozen walkways.

Since the levels are so small and tight, the sub machine guns REALLY shine. Basically all the guns with a high rate of fire seem to dominate on these maps. Long range weaponry, other than snipers, really seems to take a backseat.
I never used anything other than assault rifles in the previous CODs, but this game is a completely different ballgame.

I didn't prestige in BLOPS, and I'm thinking of not doing it this time, either. There's an even greater disparity between levels in MW3, and it makes a big difference in how well you do. Bigger than before.

Gonna be completely honest here, I don't understand the PP90 hype.Kyoufu said:
Regarding SMGs, I started using the good ol' UMP, then switched to the MP5.
Then earlier today I tried out all the other ones, including obviously the PP90, and to be honest, I didn't think it was that great.
On the bright side, I found out I like the P90 haha.
I like the P90 and MP7 both better than the PP90, I don't really get it either.
Also am I missing something with the FAD? Thing is super accurate and is a bullet hose, but I seemed to still be getting way more mileage out of my ACR than it, so I carried over my ACR when I prestiged instead.

Know what you mean. I'm level 64 but I have at least half the weapons at level 10 or higher.Victrix said:
It's gonna be a big decision whether or not I decide to prestige, not to mention how many times I'll let myself throw away all that progress.

Does IW ever update the PC version? I have a feeling they won't, but have they ever in the past? The SPAS-12 is utter garbage on the PC currently.

This is the first COD where I've gone into multiplayer before beating the campaign. After the first mission I got bored and jumped online...not a good sign.
The multiplayer maps are the worst in the series, everything feels cramped and there are way too many places to hide. Kill confirmed is a great mode but I wish they would bring back gun game and one in the chamber from BLOPS.
To me the damage seems to be too high, if an enemy spots you first you have absolutely no chance at fighting back because your health is so low which is frustrating. The shotgun range still needs to be nerfed and grenade damage needs to come back up.
As for guns, I dabbled with the AR's and sniper rifles before settling on the UMP45. In the right hands it is one beast of a gun. Haven't run into any problems with the Type 95.

The problem with the maps isn't necessarily that they are small, but that they are CLUTTERED.
There is crap EVERYWHERE. Blown up cars, buses, buildings, boxes, etc. So many places to hide. So many places for people to camp and stay hidden when they shoot, making it impossible to fire back, even if you spot them first.
I think there are ways to deal with it, like knowing where those hotspots are for people to hide and camp, but even then there are a ton of deaths that come from people firing from positions that make them practically invisible.
