Call of Duty's support section on their web site says everyone that is doing the clan tag exploit to put the button prompts in it will be getting a 72-hour MW3 matchmaking suspension AND their ranks will be reverted to what they were when they originally put them in the clan tag. They encourage everyone to report anyone doing this via the in-game reporting menu and selecting "Exploiting".

Going to be some bitter tears soon...
Sweet, I have been reporting them as exploiters since day one.
 
I haven't been reporting them since I'm usually in Ground War games with over half the people doing it. Can't wait for the day they go bye bye for a bit.

Same here. Lots of them have been 2nd and 3rd prestige already, so I'm sure their meltdowns whenever this comes to pass will be legendary.
 
The Xtortionist said:
I'd put it above Blops because the hit detection and framerate aren't janky.

True. BLOPS did certainly feel 'off' but when it did play well, I loved it.

I still suffer from some lag in MW3 but it feels good again.

Secondary: Akimbo FMG9's

Perks

Scavenger Pro

HOLY SHIT AWESOME!



Dam the range on those FMG9's with Steady aim is amazing! 1 Kill to Assassin Pro, 3 to SoH, 5 to Blast shield! This is some Anti-Camper run and gun awesomesauce.

"Akimbo" anything in a marine combat game just takes me right out of it. May as well be a cartoon. How many soldiers in the field do you see sprinting around like idiots with guns in each hand?
IW isn't even trying anymore.

Why not Akimbo M60s? Hell Akimbo death machines for all! Mutant perk gives you THREE ARMS so you can be TRI-KIMBO !!!!!!

Um... does anyone give a shit about "realism" in CoD or BF anymore? The answer is no.

I haven't had any serious problems with the lag...until last night. What's the deal IW?
I don't know, but try again today? The update released last night was to address "laggy connections" but I don't really know what that means until they elaborate.

If BLOPS was my favorite CoD and MW2 was my least favorite by a mile, is this game for me?

I'm right with you on those favorites and least favorites, so I'd say you'll probably have a 'like/hate' relationship with MW3. It's a fun game, but it can be a pain in the ass sometimes. You'll probably dislike the maps a lot more than the norm, since they're relatively tiny. Still a good experience all-around; all things considered.

When the game runs smooth, i fucking love it, but the damn lag is so frustrating at times.

Didn't stop me from putting20 hours into the game in a little over a week lol.

I think the machine pistols have no business being in this game as a secondary. They should put them in the SMG category or at least remove the akimbo option. The FNG9 basically makes all of the handguns irrelevant as soon as you get Sleight of Hand Pro. It's like having a shotgun secondary, except it's better than all the shotguns. The only thing in this game that should have an akimbo option is the pistols.

I downloaded the patch at the start of my session. I never really had the problem of opening fire on someone, seeing hit markers, dying, and watching my killcam indicate I didn't even hit them until last night, and it happened frequently.
 
Myself and a couple friends have been doing this as well.

Bittersweet tears ahead!

Is it that much of a problem? I understand reporting offensive content, or hacked systems...but reporting people for special characters seems like overkill. It's like you're trying to punish a bunch of kids for trying to stand out.

When you have an entire team doing that crap, it makes it harder to see stuff.

So maybe this is just patch placebo (which didn't happen for any of the updates, believe me), but this morning I've felt like the game has performed the best it ever has for me. I don't want to jinx myself, but I haven't once felt like I was "behind" other players in the sense that they're killing me within a nano-second of even seeing them.

However, I am concerned that in two matches I played this morning, by the end of them, there were like four people total left in the game. I hadn't seen that happen in this game at any point prior. Hopefully they didn't break something with the update and make it so people don't fill those empty spots — this was a problem that Black Ops had.

Every time I turn off my ps3 and turn it back on I have to update my router so dmz works I don't even change anything . Only with mw3 wtf

Right. Why ground anything in reality. Trikimbo MG60s for everyone with mutant 3 arm perk, and you can duct tape a submarine to your head just because it's cool" and fun.

Sure. If they can find a way to balance it for gameplay, why not? If you give me the option between fun and realistic I will take fun every single time.

same with me, I love how fast COD is if I want to play a somewhat realistic game I will pop in BF3 and play it.

You know what takes me out of it? Dying and respawning. Fighting another team for a piece of a map for no reason until a certain amount of death is reached. When the match ends all of a sudden people stop shooting each other. That I can only use air support after I kill a certain amount of people. That I leave a tactical insertion and magically appear there. That I can carry around a sentry and a trophy system single-handedly until I want to use it. Having bombs so easy to defuse that it only takes a couple seconds. Calling in a care package meant just for me in the middle of a firefight. I mean, I could go on and on and on.

It's like I'm playing a fucking game or something. FIX THIS SHIT IW!!!

Great, now I want to parachute in instead of just spawning.

I wish they would scrap TDM from Ground War. It's such a boring mode.

I almost always agree with this but after playing over 10 games of Kill Confirmed and Domination, TDM was a nice change of pace and flew by in about 5 minutes.
 
Had a lot of fun sniping today and even got my first collateral. Even though these maps aren't designed for sniping it IS possible to do really well with the sniper once you find their spawn. I was playing dom on Mission and managed to get 5 or so kills just by popping my head in and out of cover on the A side hill. Did the same thing by abusing the long line of sight of the B flag on Resistance.

The difference in hit detection from 4 bars to 3 bars is immense.

I wish, like Warhawk, games showed you your actual ping number and not some obscure bars.
 
they didn't nerf the knife enough. It shouldn't be a one hit kill from the front and shouldn't have a lunge of any sort.If you aim above someone with the knife you won't hit shit, but if you aim 2 feet from the left or right of someone the game will give you the kill.
