Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 |OT| Got 99 Problems, But Sales Ain't One.

Just had a sabatoge game where a sniper on our team got the bomb and moved back to the back of a-dom (on mission) to snipe instead of moving forwards, he then got killed and they planted the bomb. Can people learn to not play TDM in an objective game

This is why you shouldn't cheat.

FMG9 akimbo seems almost the same to me after this "hot-fix" went down. They might kill you a nanosecond slower due to the hip fire spread being wider, but everyone is still using them. I think I'm gonna run around with nothing but striker+FMG9 akimbo on all smaller maps from now on.

This game shouldn't even have machine pistols as a secondary ffs. The only secondary should be a handgun or a launcher. If you want a really good secondary, you should have to use overkill. Right now overkill is almost useless in this game.

Six title updates and probably ten or more hotfixes in the five weeks since release... I won't accuse IW of not supporting their games anymore (well, as long as they keep this up).

I really don't think they even did anything, just tweeted it and posted it on there community page that they did. There is no difference in game from the guns they noted.

The FMG9s were 'nerfed' by increasing the recoil, which does absolutely nothing to change its' OP-ness akimbo. I dunno how the T95 was 'nerfed' but it seems pretty much the same.

I'm looking forward to the lag compensation supposed fix and the hitmarker sound making its' way back to the PS3 though. Not quite the same without it.
 
Just got the notice that the playlists were updated with the hotfix.

I presume this is the one that addresses the PS3 hitmarker noise and the semtex stick damage to Juggernaut.

I still can't edit clips in theater without it freezing the entire console... No one else has had that? Anyone?

Also, the KSG12 is such a joke! Rawr! Hitmarkers at zero range all day! Rage! :( :(

So, wait....this ENTIRE time, there's been no hitmarker noise on the PS3 version? Holy shit :lol
Woah, I had no idea... That sucks for PS3 players! Good thing they finally patched it.

THE WORDS! They'll drift away without the _!
Hit markers make a sound? I play on 360 and haven't noticed.

Maybe I would notice if the sound were gone. Will have to listen out for it next time.

You probably can't notice because you only need 1 in this game for a kill.

Unless you're using the RSASS or almost any of the under barrel shotguns.

EDIT: With the way the last game played, anything automatic is probably going to win. Fucking ACR...

I hope it's appropriate to post this here. Would anyone have a 360 Hardened Box & sleeve that they wouldn't mind parting with? I'll pay a couple bucks for it + shipping :)

My first match with the KSG 12 ( which as today ) I posted a 44-6 game in regular TDM, but after that it's like the weapon turned to shit on me. Shotguns are really inconsistent without any of the good upgrades.
 
Had a random mixture of garbage but managed to pull a 30-4 game. Ended up being shit on the rest of the night though. I have a .98 k/d. In MW2 I have a 1.68. I just can't get a good feel for this game I guess, even after over a days worth of in game time.

I'm in the process of golding the M16 and it's decent but no reason to use it even after post-nerf Type 95.

It just seems that I get shafted on a lot of kills because of the weakened bullet damage compared to the Type 95. You see all 3 bullets land but because of any lag 1 bullet misses. Rapid-Fire on the M16 is a must.
 
My best match is 36-5 (Domination on Underground).

My KDR was up at about 1.2 but is now 1.16...I seem to be doing worse lately but I'm trying not to focus on the stats alone. I was a 1.3 and steadily rising in BLOPS when I stopped playing.

I can't believe there's been no news on a map pack yet. With elite being around I feel they have a much greater responsibility to this kind of thing. I feel like we should expect the first maps in the first or second week of January.

Yeah, it's kind of ridiculous that they haven't said a word about any new map pack. They were supposed to roll out new stuff on monthly basis if I remember correctly and we haven't gotten anything so far even though it's xmas soon... what gives?!

And damn those split screen players are starting to piss me off. They are practically always playing absolutely fucking terrible and always on my team. Just lost a match where they went 1-17 and 4-19. Nice one guys.

My current TDM k/d is 1.71 which is rising slowly but steadily. I'm just a bit inconsistant at times and can have these horrible sessions where I struggle to go positive no matter what I do.

They're only planning a 9 month DLC "season" so they could start as late as January and still end before November

Overkill is not useless. Not with Striker, and Specialist Assassin only 2 kills away. Just sayin.

It's most noticeable (in Mw2) when you get hitmarkers with a semtex or something like that, especially when you hit 2-3 people at a time. It's just one of those things that makes cod, cod. (at least for me)

That's because they barely increased the hipfire spread.

For reference this is what akimbo weapons had for spread in MW2:

And in Blops:

Last night I couldnt win for nothing. As I round each corner, toss concussion grenade, hit! Bring up sights with Type 95 or AK47, start firing the moment pixels of the guy show up on the TV. Hit marker, hit marker, hit marker. And then I just fall dead like I had a stroke or something. I dont think Ive played a CoD where I can have every single possible advantage on someone, and lose so quickly. Nothing I love more than leading the team in deaths and earning the "Least Damage Taken" award. Im enjoying it, but wowza, this game can make my blood boil. Not even the crazy killstreaks in MW2 can give me that feeling that I cant control how much Im dying, which I refer to as "Death Blender Mode" being activated.

Ive actually risen my K/D to a very "impressive" 1.06 (Which is still .44 lower than BLOPS). Definitely ready for some new maps though. Still loving me some C4.

Really? It's my favorite part of the COD series after 60fps. Feels and sounds so good when you hit an enemy. Because I'm support class I hear it all game long when knocking shit out of the air.

Agreed, I'm the same with the support class. That sound is so pleasing to the ears.

So in the next to last campaign mission,
"Down the Rabbit Hole", I had a weird bug where the guy Price kills at the start of the mission was a Delta Force member. It happened this way on Hardened and Veteran, but on Regular and Easy it was a Russian army member. Then to make it even funnier, once on Veteran the gun he drops landed under Grinch and stayed in the exact same place as the elevator went down. Grinch was squished to the ceiling, and when it stopped at the very bottom(after the RPG) he shot out at about 1000mph and it killed every one including me(I wasn't even in the way).

Also, got the campaign done on Veteran. It definitely was easier than CoD4 Veteran, and just a bit easier than MW2 Veteran.

I don't know WTF is wrong but the game is simply not playable for me. I am like a full second behind every single match.

I give up...

They're going to be adding some of the custom/private gametypes that people have made to the public playlists soon. Kind of a cool idea.

Didn't you post last page that you have like a 3.0 K/D? I'm sure there are many, many people who have it worse off than you. They're releasing a "lag compensation" update this week, though, so maybe that'll help.
