Holy fuck, I hooked my Xbox with an ethernet cable directly to router instead of wifi via Time Capsule as suggested, and suddenly I am at 1 and over KD in many games (I used to be 0.5-0.7).

It's incredible since it has always put me to the <50ms league. But now I actually manage duels, and even see enemies before they see me. Plus shooting half a clip is not necessary.

All this and I thought I had no lag.

Was your NAT open when you were wireless?

Does Sitrep Pro help with hearing footsteps? I only heard footsteps clearly one time in an open map.

If you can, what are you using to listen to the game? Surround Sound, Headset, Headphones?

I recently got Sennheiser HD 598 and that headphones made me love music for the first time.

Yep, it was open. And even if Time Capsule was just bridging and the router doing the dchp, it seems it still introduced some lag. It's two different games now, really.

The alternative is Black Ops where you end up with games that go 6 on 2 for the entire duration because a bunch of bitches quit early because they were losing (which happens all the time). IW chooses the better option.

Eh, I wouldn't necessarily call it better. I prefer having a high win/loss over k/d and for me to lose games that I didn't get to fully participate in is kinda stupid. If I join a S:D game that's 1-3 or 2-3 or something, it's possible I can pick up a loss without even getting a chance to play.

They should find the happy medium between the two.
1) Discourage people from leaving. Make it so that you lose all experience gained that game + half of the last level. Make it significant enough so that people will stop leaving early because they don't want to take a loss. Of course also have this apply if someone dashboards or unplugs their router. Some people with bad connections might get screwed, but if you constantly get dropped from games, you really shouldn't be playing the game anyway.

2) Don't allow people to join games with various criteria (time under 2:00, score limit within 5 kills of being reached, one team over the other by 50 points in domination, etc).

I don't know why, but everyone I've talked to in my crew can hear footsteps clear as day. I just got Turtle Beaches X11s (on clearance for $12-15). They're just stereo headphones so I imagine almost anything will work in that regard. Just make sure you know what footsteps sound like and tune your ears to listen for them. Also have map awareness so that you can easily distinguish between your teammates' footsteps and the enemies'. One of my friends uses surround sound and can hear footsteps as well.

Sitrep Pro (I believe) is supposed to make footsteps louder.

All I want is 12 other players out of the 800,000 playing on PSN who also want to start a KC match.

How do I know if my Elite founders code went through? Redeemed my code on the 8th but still don't have my camo, call sign, or double xp. There's nothing on the elite site that mentions that I'm a founder or that even have a premium account. There's a green skull next to my username on the site though, could that be an indicator?

Yes, also check your account page on xbox.com and your membership for Elite should be listed along with your XBL membership.
If you're PSN, I think it's account management->services->service list or something like that.

Is anyone else's multiplayer menu on 360 glitching out and lagging? I am worried my 360 is fucked up...
Click to expand...

Like crazy. It's a broken mess right now for me. I can't join any games and the menus are FUBAR. It worked absolutely flawlessly before the patch too. And this is on a 2 month old slim.

EDIT: Restarted the Xbox and that seemed to fix it. I have my fingers crossed that it stays fixed.

Someone please trade me some combat cards in the MW3 dew promotion or throw me some extra codes you might have laying around. 2 cards left, and my body can't handle any more Mountain Dew. (PS: This isn't some referal scam or anything .. just a lame dew tie-in that yields double XP time)

http://www.rankupxp.com/Dashboard/Index/cardExchange/915193944701

Also, does anyone know if there is a way to apply this double XP stuff to the PC version of the game? I'm thinking this whole effort may have been in vein.

Is it possible that thee is a sniper auto aim hack out there? I have been recently owned by snipers that I see in the killcam killing four enemies in a row, each time lowering their scope and immediately raising it again to seemingly perfect position, like in Campaign auto aim. This is 360.

There has to be. The other day on village some dude tossed a semtex, jumped off the little cliff, did a 360 and no scoped me through a wall. Fucking ridiculous.

I think one of the most shocking things about this game, and something that IW should be really proud of is the lack of Grenade Launchers in multiplayer.

It really is shocking. I am level 51 and have been killed by maybe 1 or 2 noob tubes, but definitely not more than that. They truly have succeeded in making this game gun on gun.

you dont kill people faster and you die just as fast as without the perks. keep in mind that you are giving up all the point streak rewards for this.
specialist is only useful if both stopping power and juggernut perks are available

Awesome AS, thanks for making this man.

So how will it work now that I've joined, will things show up for me in the menu when I log back in the game?
Click to expand...


As far as I know it will just put together stats for the group on elite. It's more of a social thing than an in game application thing.

I think it may throttle to allow premium members in all the time now.

Since yesterday I get in whenever I want now.

I wasn't able to log in via the webpage until early this morning, but I'm logging in fine now. Maybe try clearing your cache?

I know the frustration on trying to get into elite's webpage. This morning when people said they could get on I still couldn't I was giving up hope of ever getting into elite. I tried like 5 minutes later and the site popped up for me for the first time since the beta this summer.

Wow that campaign is sooo good, at first I wanted to try multiplayer but couldn't let go off the singleplayer it's really awesome.
Only 3 more levels then I'm through and I think I'll jump immediately to veteran difficulty before I even touch mp, it's that good.

FINALLY figured out where Elite uploads your YouTube clips. Didn't upload it to my YouTube account for whatever reason.

Anyway, this is how you take out a juggernaut :)

Nice video I gotta get my Youtube linked also.

I was raping a team with my jug and they had some guy and his guest kept trying to shoot javelins at me as I rushed them. It's a freaking rush just invading a spawn or point and fighting 3-4 guys as once with a shield and pistol.

It's good, but not THAT good.
Every single part of the game is a complete re-tread of the previous 2 MW games.

Seems that way — Robert Bowling said on Twitter that it would be pretty hard to find.

Unless, of course, you're one of the people who ordered the MGS HD Collection LE from GameStop and they sent you the MW3 Hardened Edition instead. :lol

Haha can't believe that happened. I skipped out on preordering because I'm going to get the game when I am home over Thanksgiving as I do with most COD titles. Usually I am able to find a LE in the stores. Weird that this is so limited.
