Is it wrong for me to sell the PS3 copy? I got frustrated from the lag, so I sold it for $50. At least I had a fun Veterans Day Weekend.. -_-

You already sold it. Why are you asking?
Did you have a wired or wireless connection? Wired > wireless always. Plus your DL speed could be an issue as well. I haven't noticed any of this lag that people are talking about for the most part. Maybe 1 in 20 games does it get unbearable, but then it switches hosts and it's fine again.I have noticed however that if there is anyone in the lobby running split-screen, get out immediately. It will lag no matter what if there are people playing split-screen in the lobby.
Lol I take advantage of the split screeners.aristotle said:You already sold it. Why are you asking?

I play on PS3 and I have only had a handful of really bad lag matches. I'm wireless but my router is right next to my PS3 so I assume the connection is pretty solid.

Is it me, or you spawn right next to enemies MUCH more often in Ground War than in any other Team Game Modes.
By right next to enemies, I mean someone shoots you in the back a second or two after you spawn, literally..

well, yes, but I have a pretty clear image in my head, in which GAF was telling me how ambitious and awesome the story in Black Ops was.
I think the most missions in MW3 are on a basic level better designed and the overall story in MW3 is suitable as a ending of the MW-story.
In the credits I spotted paul haggis as the writer. Whats up with this? Never heard/read this anywhere.

This isn't said enough.
The single player campaign & Co-Op are good in MW3. The multiplayer, on the other hand, is pure unadulterated shit. By far the worst maps in the entire Call of Duty game series.
Even Black Ops pathetically small predictable maps are looking good now.

Haha yeah I had that too, it said I had only played 2 games.aristotle said:Their stat tracking is severely messed up. Right after I prestiged, it said I only played like 14 games and I was already level 26. I don't think I leveled up that quickly after I prestiged
Must mean I'm pretty good then

Indeed, and try not to get discouraged by some debbie downers here. Once you find your setups you like, it gets really fun. And dont pay attention to that quick scope video that everyone is talking about. I'm already around half way through my first prestige and have seen maybe one or two quickscopers, and they were terrible and negative at the end of the matches. Doesnt seem to be a huge issue as it was in mw2.

Is it just me, or is the red dot sight more accurate than the holo?
And if so, what the fuck is the point of the holo?

Man these multiplayer maps are not very good.

I actually disagree. Plus Highrise devolved into complete crappy spawn camping in the first minute of a match that plagued most of MW2's maps. What I like about these maps is that they are different. I agree that there should be more wide open maps like Afghan, but from what I've played so far MW3's maps encourage more one one one, gun to gun encounters.
I felt the last two CoD's map designs were far too formulaic. Two spawn sides with a choke point in the middle. I feel like MW3's maps actively discourage camping because there's very few places where you can stay still for very long. For what it's worth, MW3 is the most fun I've had with CoD since MW1 and WaW.

I haven't seen the ballistic vests on them, think it has to do with their connection. I'm starting to think that people with an inferior internet connection have a advantage in this regard. I remember the same thing happening in Quake and SOF2 where people with 100+ ping you had to 'lead' your shots. Another thing I've noticed is that when I die and watch the killcam, it looks nothing like what I initially saw... I get the jump on someone in a close range fight but somehow I die first. Upon viewing the killcam, it shows the other guy seeing me first and getting the jump on me

I agree about how the maps have brought positive changes to the game. It feels nice being able to split off from the pack and also keep everything in front of me at the same time. Every building has multiple entrances so forces me to try and push forward faster than the people possibly chasing me from behind.
The balance tweaks they did puts this game on a whole different level than MW2 imo. Nothing was more irritating than seeing some guy go from 7-0 to 25-0, nuke without having to fire another shot. Combined with the new killstreak lists I feel they did a lot to address the perceived camping problem from the earlier games. All with 60fps. *drools*
I rented this game from Redbox the day it came out and hated it, later that day I got home and my wife had left the game for me near my Ps3 as a surprise. I thought about returning it and getting her money back since I didn't like the game.
I put more time into my rented copy still hating the game, which I returned back the Redbox the next day. Well flash forward to the weekend ( I decided to open the game) I'm playing the game and all of a sudden it clicks with me. I am not sure if it was unlocking better weapons or what. ( I love Kill Confirm) but now every time I play I am top two on team at the least.
The gun play is a lot better than Mw2 and the hit detection is slightly better than Black Ops. In any case I am having a lot of fun now that I have figured out the flow of the game and know the maps better. There are still some maps I despise like the Nyc one with the subways and what not but overall I think this one is a keeper.

MW1 was set up to be a camp fest. Every map had tons of spots where you could claymore up and be good to go. MW2 had the same but to a lesser extent. MW3 feels to have 3+ entrances to every area or building. After like 20 hours logged into the game I haven't noticed a significant amount of campers like in the previous titles. The cover loses it's purpose if you're always exposed when trying to hide behind it.

Well those very few spots are so camp heavy that I always go positive if I decide to not rush & camp.
The maps are so small & spawns are so fucked, it's better to just sit at a good spot & let the constant stream of enemies run into you.

I personally like most of the maps. I think the one I dislike the most is downturn.

Highrise was godlike. Sure if you're on a bad team fighting a great team you can be pinned down pretty easily but it was great. It's not even the different routes that I miss in MW3. It's variety. Almost all the maps are parts of a city. We don't have a battle around a big cliff, on a roof, a big indoor level, training grounds, offices, fields, etc... I almost bought Elite for the founder status because I wanted new maps but then I caught myself and realized there's just as good a chance of bad maps showing up. I personally want to go back to MW2 multiplayer but I'm trying not to. If I stop playing it I may get used to this game over time.
And I know a lot of you don't like it but Dome is my favorite and after playing a match where the entire team quick scoped I'm even a little turned off on that at the moment.

So I heard you liek clusterfucks
the reason these maps suck are because they not only because cater to one playstyle, it does it sloppily too. The shitty spawning and all the oddly placed objects not only obstruct movement, it barely serves as cover because you can't shoot over most the objects, because it either too high or some decoration is blocking you view. Plus with all the little rooms there is more corner camping than ever before.
As it stands now, head to head firefights are non existent, so is long range combat, all it is "lol flank", alot of shooting people in the back, and alot of corner encounters ( latency influences who wins corner encounters more than anything in the game ). this is fine in doses, but all the maps play out largely the same which gets redundant, and worse than that, the close range encounters are mostly awkward because of the aforementioned reasons I stated.
You don't have to make a game that all but abandons mid to long range cover to make a rush friendly game; give all camper pearches multiple vantage points to shoot through, place cover along a path to flank behind, stop having bullets come from a guys head and from the gun instead ( why doesn't IW fix this!?!? ) have walls serve as force multiplier for explosives to kill anybody camping, etc.
It would've been fine to make a game that favored rushing, but it would've been even better if the maps were good to go along with it.

Downturn on domination.
All the maps work GREAT for kill confirmed which is my favorite mode now.

That sea level, one that looks like de_dust is probably my favourite map. I really like it.

I like that one too, but I like most of the maps.
I think a lot of people don't like them because they like camping, but I may be way off base.

No, I'm in total agreement. I think the maps on the whole are pretty good. Maybe not as memorable as others, but love the fact there are so many differing paths.
