Who said CoD should be Battlefield?

I'm saying that they should now take the series and up the map sizes and bring in vehicles.

Do you think that the next CoD (From IW as I'd expect Treyarch's to be BLOPS2) should be similar again to MW1, 2 and 3 especially the competition it has with BF?

It'll certainly be interesting to see where Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer take the franchise next with the Modern Warfare series seemingly over..

I expect Treyarch to be working on Black Ops 2 but the first doesn't have any indication that it'll turn into a series so who knows.. I'd love a bit of a single player Zombie campaign though and some of the cool things brought in by spec ops survival mode like leveling up.

As much as I'd love a Call of Duty: Future Warfare type game I don't think it'd be mass market friendly.

 

[Radec]

Can't get enough kills with the AK-47 + Silencer. Especially on long range. Unlike the SCAR or ACR. :/

 

[aku:jiki]

How do you guys deal with all these campers?

As far as I see it, nobody is really dealing with any of the issues in this game. I've never seen so much rage quitting, never had so many matches end in enemy forfeit.

 

[MarkMclovin]

it should be about close quarter infantry battles, because that is something CoD does well and BF doesn't do (well, at least they don't do it well), I don't need the same game twice per year, if I want vehicles, lots of people and big maps I'll buy BF because that's what DICE has been doing and doing well at that, for the past 10 years. If I want infantry combat on small maps with a small number of players I'll buy CoD, because that's something IW has been doing well for the past 10 years

Why should it be about CQB? Why can't we have a CoD game with large scale battles? Why not both?

20+ million sales says yes? You're saying this as if CoD is feeling pressure from BF to change, when really the sales say it's the other way around.

Sales have nothing to do with my point about the future of the series. If they did release MW4 with maps on a larger scale, we know the sales would be high again.

Are the menus lagging for anyone else? Like the Barracks/CreatAClass/Find Match and Playlist menus. They are all lagging bad. I can't even play a game because it freezes up during the countdown.

It's not my Xbox I'm sure because I just checked out another game that worked perfectly and the dashboard doesn't lag at all.

I get a slight freeze every time we go from the party lobby to matchmaking and I often get slightly longer freezes when there's a host migration (one time we were staring at a black screen for a literal five minutes!). On top of that, there are misc little freezes happening pretty much anywhere and everywhere in the menus. Once, my entire 360 froze up and had to be rebooted because I dared open the lobby leaderboard...

The worst glitch I get with that is when I get booted from the match and Live itself and have to sign back into everything and re-gather my party to start all over again. Can get pretty frustrating if it takes 5-10 minutes to find a match, especially if you were doing well when it happens.

 

[TheThunder]

So, I bought this game on Steam and after downloading&installing I start the game (the Multiplayer) and apparently my NAT type is Strict which gives me lobbies from medium to bad connection.

I tried going on IW web site and do what it says (I already have UPnP enabled) then I tried to go to portforward.com and open ports for it but nothing worked.

Hoping for someone here can help me out.

I had a wierd issue last night where all parts of the game + the menu guide were lagging. The MP Menus were stuttery, when in a game it was stuttery, and the menu guide was stuttering. Restarting the console seemed to fix the issue, but we'll see if it pops up again.


Man, the rush of playing with the specialist streaks is awesome. Feels so good to get all the perks.

I had this yesterday (360) in the MP menu. I exited out and went back in and it was fine. Even though the game is installed, I could hear the DVD drive going nuts.

 

[Enordash]

I seriously need to get some of you guys on my Flist. I always play with my IRL friends and it's fun...but good lord are most of them not so hot at the game.

I feel that exact same way, man. I'd love to play with someone as good as you. Anyone on here feel free to add me.

General question for the high K/D peeps around here: how do you get long killstreaks if you're not using a silencer? It's something I've always wondered. If someone sees your dot on the minimap, doesn't that make it less likely that you will survive for very long? I see all these mofos getting ridiculous killstreaks on YouTube using unsilenced guns and I wonder how they do it, when I generally run silencers on my weapons to avoid detection.

 

[VGChampion]

How do you guys deal with all these campers?

Everytime I die I run back to the spot to find the guy -.-

If it's a game like Demolition I'll just switch to the other bomb if it's available. Other than that, I don't really run into campers any more. I'm playing modes that don't work well for them (Kill Confirmed) and the levels don't really have choke points anymore.

Man, the rush of playing with the specialist streaks is awesome. Feels so good to get all the perks.

I like trying it out but I have a hard time switching to that view point of not getting any visible killstreak rewards for doing well. Once I get all three perks I feel useless since I'm only killing at that point. I know it doesn't really make any sense but I wish I could get over it.

 

[Enosh]

Why should it be about CQB? Why can't we have a CoD game with large scale battles? Why not both?

because I already have that game
it's called Battlefield
and having both would just make both modes suffer and split the playerbase

 

[TestOfTide]

You're high, it effected range quite noticably.

Not nearly enough. It basically was just 30 damage instead of 40, which combined with stopping power and no gun fire obstruction meant that it was still 3 very easy hit for a kill, two if you get a headshot. Here, you have to use the AR's relatively low recoil (compared to other guns at long range) to get a higher percentage of hits on their head for a 4 or 3 hit kill with the silender.

Btw, I just tried the m16. This thing has way too much recoil. The need to reduce it and increase the recoil on the type 95

Hmm, I normally use a silencer, and it does help if you wanna get a very long streak (i.e. 7+) but if you just keep moving, or get a high volume of kills in a short time (say 4 in 5 seconds or something) then half of the other team are way across the map, giving you time to get away and regroup for another few kills. Specialist perks help too, I recommend starting with Blind Eye, Hardline and ??? and then putting your killstreak as Assassin, Scavenger and ???.

But then again, I'm not normally a big streak kind of player, I normally just grind out a decent KDR with consistent performance.

 

[MarkMclovin]

It's already split! You have your BF fans and you have your CoD fans.

I don't see how enhancing and improving is an issue. I'd kill to play a CoD game with large maps, who wouldn't?

I don't know if you'd consider myself k/d high, but it's about 1.5 right now. I rare use silencers with my assault rifles, at least so far. If you're able to control a power point on a map it's very possible for me to get an attack helicopter with Hardline, and from there the helicoopter gets me another 5 or so. My top kills streak is currently 14.

Keep your distance. Stay behind hard cover. Use your teammates as shields/additional targets. Don't move so far away from your team that you get spawned on. Cover objectives.

Running alone, fighting in CQC, fighting on objectives, fighting near blind corners, all things that are likely to get you whacked without a silencer.

Amusingly, sometimes not having a silencer can get you more kills, because people see the blip, go to investigate, and get mowed down by you because you're already set up behind hard cover with a good sightline.

I guess the difference in our views is that larder maps isn't enhancing or improving at all. It's just different, not better, not worse. So let's just leave each series to do what they do best. There's no reason for either series to become more like the other one.

Interesting. I generally run around by myself so a silencer is key. Maybe I'll try this way and see how I feel about it.

 

[def sim]

CoD is a modern Quake game. No, I'm not taking a shot at the old engine, I'm saying the series as we know it now is practically a realism skinned Quake game. It's a twitch shooter and that's how the people like it. Adding bigger maps with more players per server would be a natural progression, but not the size of BF maps.

All I want from a next gen CoD game would be dedicated servers (Gears 3, BF3), better map designs, increased customization, matchmaking and server list search (BF3), and more unlocks. It would also be great if the sequels didn't lose features from the previous game because of different devs. Don't these people talk to each other?

 

[Meadows]

Just caught this 41 kill streak on YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DraI9j9NPFk

He forgot to give one of his tips as "playing against idiots" the people he's against run around like retards, just running blindly towards him. Still, some good kills with the AC-130.

 

[Victrix]

Interesting. I generally run around by myself so a silencer is key. Maybe I'll try this way and see how I feel about it.

Silencer/Assassin is basically the only way to play CQC and maintain any sort of streak (and even then you're going to get screwed by spawns in some game modes).

Shotguns/SMGs are inherently higher risk than sitting at a distance with an AR. I pretty consistently have a higher ratio with ARs (or LMGs) when I'm playing defensively than any sort of run and gun build.

That isn't to say it's impossible, but you need to recalibrate if you're going to play without a silencer, and reevaluate your perks and attachments. Not using a silencer frees you up to use a different attachment/proficiency mix, and if you're good about staying near your team or on the rear lines, Assassin is less important as well, freeing up the other (excellent) red perks.

It's harder if you're playing alone, as is everything in this game. Staying on top of the spawns is probably the #1 way to do well, and a good team makes any player look better. But even if you're solo, paying careful attention to where your team is moving and where people are dying can keep you facing in the right general direction.

Give Marksman and possibly a Hybrid sight a shot. Marksman lights up targets at a ridiculous range, and the Hybrid assures that you can engage at medium or long range as needed.

As far as I see it, nobody is really dealing with any of the issues in this game. I've never seen so much rage quitting, never had so many matches end in enemy forfeit.

I've never had a match in MW3 suddenly end in enemy forfeit and I have like 8-9 hours logged. People are always going to rage quit no matter even if there aren't any issues.

So I was playing th FFA the other day to pass the time while cooking dinner. I'm doing pretty fucking good on the Construction one. Mowing down people left and right with my UMP. I am 16-6 so far when my fucktard of a g/f comes bouncing in and gets right near the Xbox logo on the counsel acting like she is going to turn it off. I look at her with fucking evil in my eyes. I guess she kinda loses her balance and she turns off my Xbox RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING MATCH. I lose my shit kinda and refused to speak to her for the rest of the day nor give her sex for 2 days. Since then, have not been able to replicate that.

Awesome, thanks for the tips! I'll create a new class when I get home from work today and play around with it. The one thing I never ever pay attention to in FPS games in spawns. I feel like it's "gaming" the system. I guess that's what you gotta do though haha.

After reading many of the posts here i wasn't going to get the game, but then a friend left the keys to his place at work and he realised it until he came home after picking the game up. So i invite him to come to my house and play. Good thing i did, the game is great, i think the problem with the maps are exagerates, i don't know i remember feeling the same way when BOps came out, but once i got used to the maps the rage started to fade. This is COD and that's it. Classic COD chaos, "strategies", weapons, killstreaks, for better or worse. It shares the same problems of past COD games for me. Maybe the snipers killing me from 10 feet are a little worse this time and that's the only part i really hate. Everything else is great. Bought my copy on sunday and i'm hooked.

I think I broke a record at selling a game back to Gamestop. MW3 lasted almost a whole week before I relized "hey, I own BF3, why would I play this game instead?"

Goodbye MW3, I wasted a few bucks on ya but your trade in value knocked my SR3 purchse price down a few bucks.
