I really cannot believe they added the ability to hear your enemy after you've killed him for a little while.

The rage is so awesome.

wait, really?! haha if true, I have been wondering the cursing

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

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.

There's a thread for crap like this.

wait, really?! haha if true, I have been wondering the cursing

Yep, it may be only when they are close, but it's definitely in.

It's either proximity chat in general or it's just when you kill them. Either way, it's awesome.

It's a "killchat," doesn't matter where they are. I had a hilarious one yesterday when we had a little "clan match," and I managed to catch their entire team in a predator. Had four mics going "DAMN ITTTTTT" all at once. :lol

I hope this becomes standard for the series.

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.

Yeah, all online modes are fucked up for me. The menus are slow as hell, just tried watching one match from the online vault and the game run at like 4 fps and it was the same thing when I joined one team death match.

 

[computers putin']

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.

Seeing stuff like this makes me want to record gameplays of my own. He's a decent player, nothing more.

yep, dunno what is though

So with theater mode is there anyway to export the video file to a pc? Sorry if this is obvious.

 

[backflip10019]

Highly doubt that . I still love her..It's her fault. She shouldn't have even been near the Xbox to begin with..jokingly or not.

You should try hitting her next time. That'll show her.

 

[Meadows]

Can i get confirmation on theater mode causing lag? Had it off but I never had much lag in the first place.

Decent players had 41 killstreaks, on maps they've never seen before, on release night? Come on, dude.

You can upload it to YouTube via Elite. Apparently you get (sorta blurry) 720p and 1 minute if you have premium. If you want the entire match on your PC, you need to get a capture card or device. (Don't get a Dazzle. :lol)

 

[Zabka]

I mentioned this earlier and it's purely anecdotal but turning it off seemed to fix the lag I was having. Even 4 bar matches were bad before, now 3 bar matches play just fine.

That's what I was afraid of. I tried linking my youtube account but it errors out.

Who talks about their significant other like this? Pathetic.

Back on topic, I finally understand the love for the PP90. I managed to pull my terrible

awesome

KDR above a 1 and was regularly managing choke points. First time since getting the game that I've felt like I knew what I was doing.

I think I hate that Resistance map.

I just noticed it was whiteboy7thst ( his voice immediately annoyed me so I watched it on mute ). Okay, he's a good player, but the gameplay was okay at best, at least compared to what I thought it would be; the players were worse than what I usually see, and I was an hoping for an actual 41 killstreak not involving killstreak rewards.

This is COD man, everyone's pro, the game practically plays itself.

your snarky comment aside, it's not a hard game to be "pro" at, compared to other shooters at least.

 

[TestOfTide]

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.

I run shotty and can safely say that like in black ops, running with silencer and/or uav invisibility is for those that don't feel confident in surprising a target that knows you are nearby. Those can help for flanking, but understanding how opponents tend to react to nearby threats is more important. The confident guy with at the top of stairs on fallen is going to predictably wait and aim, making him very vulnerable to a semtex or cook grenade. The guy who ignores a threat because it will have to run through an explosive will be surprised by stalker pro as well as possibly be killed by me shotting his explosive. And the guy who runs downstairs in one of the numerous houses or simply wait at the top of the stairs is predictable enough that 90% of time he'll get a shell to the face.

I'm kinda conflicted on theatre mode. I don't like the lag but there are some moments that I wish I could save to file share, such as getting to an opponents escort airdrop, hijacking the ims package, and then planting the ims in the middle of the packages.

 

[aristotle]

XboxAhoy has posted new weapon videos. I thought he was doing all the videos for Elite or am I mistaken?

He is doing both, that's why these new weapon videos are pretty short. He talks quite a lot about his newfound career on his alt channel (AhoyXbox).

agreed

 

[aristotle]

agreed

I don't agree. It's a snarky comment and nothing more. Running with silencer + assassin is just another tactic. Currently I run that for my rushing setup and it has nothing to do with confidence. It allows me to get behind their lines without knowing it and helps me to control the map when they think the area is clear. I am by no means a superb player, but I know how to control a map with a competent team (PS3 GAF). I should note I only use that setup with my Specialist Rusher as well. More often than not, I don't run anything silenced unless I'm just trying to level up my weapon XP/challenges.

 

[Sir Garbageman]

With the amount of UAVs, Counter UAVs, heartbeat sensors and EMPs that go off during a typical match is there any Perk 2 that matches the utility of Assassin Pro?

 

[Reckless Onion]

Why does it feel like i'm a second behind in this game, i'm scared to even shoot a dude if hes not with is back at me. Every 1v1 ends with me dead. Then i watch the killcam and this dude sees me like a second early and all this time i'm just sitting there while on my screen i was definitely shooting.

Assassin is "perk 2" and it counters all of that.

The trick is to use a gun that kills fast, since you need to make up for the artificial delayed response time on your end. That is unless you're host.

That said, yeah, the netcode is worse now. Playing some Blops and MW2, the discrepancy between host and client has never been this huge. It was never perfect, but not turn around the corner and find out you've been staring at the opponent like a dolt, waiting to be shot.

The game is rigged against you, that's why.

This is only true if you are running against really shitty players.

[Nori Chan]

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.

I've been running M16 Holo and Rapid Fire and I usually use Hardline too. I always roll with someone and let them die first (lololol) and as soon as I hear them reload I go in. I also get long shot kills too so that helps.

My killstreaks, if I run assault, Predator, Helicopter, AH-6 Overtwatch

 

[Kerub]

I'm getting wierd, twitchy lag on PS3. Could it be because of theater mode?

 

[DRE Fei]

The AK47 sucks

Yeah, unfortunately this is true. I was hoping the "kick" proficiency would help it, but it's not that great. AK47 sadly gets outclassed by so many other guns in this game due to the combination of it's lower accuracy and lower rate of fire. Maybe with stalker+ext mags it could be good?

 

[Jack Scofield]

How do you turn off the recording feature? Granted, I haven't searched through the options very much (or at all), but I'll definitely turn off that useless feature if it gives me a half-decent four-bar connection like in MW2.

 

[RiotPelaaja]

[SkoomaSuckinSwit]

Blind Eye + Assassin & silencers are practically required for HCTDM and such, when you have a good opposing team.

Been running SiteRep, but have not tried Dead Silence yet.

I'm getting the same thing. I don't have it installed and I'm on 360. I go to theater mode and the same thing, replays running at a real choppy framerate.

happened to me last night too, the entire xbox seemed like it was chugging (even the guide wouldn't come up at first). i bailed to dash and everything was fine, and i played an xbla game instead, and everything was fine.

 

[SlackAdjuster]

I'm getting the same thing. I don't have it installed and I'm on 360. I go to theater mode and the same thing, replays running at a real choppy framerate.

Same for me last night and same setup as you. I had to shut the xbox off 4 times and restart before it started acting right. Once it did, I played for hours without a problem.

Should probably be starting the The Ping is Too Damn High party instead.

 

[CorrisD]

Anyone know if your Spec Ops level is saved on-line?

I have some friends coming over with multiple Xboxs for some split screen stuff later in the month, but I'm not sure if all your info is saved online so I can just log in on their 360 or not.

Yes sir it is. I was playing HC Kill Confirmed (my new favorite mode) and this guy fired on me, must have grazed me, I turned around and headshotted him. All I heard was yelling
"RIGHT IN THE FUCKING HEADDDDDDDDDDD"

Love this
