it's still not that easy, and you don't have that many people running around on all the maps doing it, and there aren't a lot of sniper maps anyway, so I don't really see what the problem is

Don't need "sniper maps". For me the problem or frustration is how you can be shooting at someone and if they have high sensitivity they can just spin around instantly and fire when they feel the cross hair stick to the player, 9 times out of 10 its going to hit.

I would still love some sniper maps though. Right now there aren't any maps where I can sit back and snipe like Afghan, Bloc, or Derail.

So it seems like nobody is complaining about the maps anymore, and we've all moved onto the lag problems.

What's the consensus on the maps? There are a few that I really love, and I'm even enjoying Downturn these days. I hated them at first but I think that was because they really forced me to change how I play COD games. Big fan now.

I think they're mostly fine. Downturn's the only one I seem to have much trouble with but I'm getting the hang of it.

Is this really the case? It would explain why it's so bad, especially on Ground War.

If they were to do some remakes of previous maps, what maps would you guys want? I'm all for Highrise, Afghan, Crash, Bloc, Wetwork, and maybe a few others.

Trailer Park and Salvage definitely. I'd accept Favela, Invasion, and maybe District, too. Hopefully they avoid the COD4 maps they brought back for COD6 for variety's sake (they probably won't).

"Park"

Just from that one screenshot it seems like it'll be the most open map in the game.

So hm....stadium it is then. Yay? I thought IW hated Treyarch or something?
Click to expand...
...that looks absolutely nothing like Stadium. Thank whoever, too, 'cause Stadium was one of the worst Black Ops maps.

Is it just me or is there way more aim assist on snipers then any other guns in the game? Feels like as long as an enemy is anywhere inside the cross hair the bullet magically goes to them.
Click to expand...
No, it's about the same.
LeMaximilian said:
They're bad, really bad. But the most obvious issues is the base gameplay, which the lag/spawns effect most.

Usually in COD maps, there's areas or parts of the map I used to tell myself, "I'm never going on that path since so many people die there. I'm going to take the longer, alternate path and flank." But I can't seem to find the danger areas in MW3, EVERYWHERE is a danger area.
Click to expand...
You miss obvious boosting spots like the ones on Sub Base and Karachi? :lol I like when all of the map is used.

I agree, I hope we don't see Crash, Overgrown, Strike, or Vacant again, even though they're all great maps. From cod4 I can't believe more people don't mention Ambush or Backlot, which are the best two maps IMO. Seeing those two get another chance would be amazing.

So.. can you boost in Kill Confirmed by using tactical inserts? Maybe this is old news but today I joined a lobby and a dude on the opposing team was constantly going like 3-25 but always had thousands and thousands of points more than anyone else. He would always throw down a tac insert, stand on it, and wait to die. Then spawn and snag his own tags. I guess it destroys your K/D ratio, but I wonder if it actually levels you up any faster? You can't really complete any challenges for bonus XP by doing any of that.

Yes you can boost, this is the first COD where I've actually started reporting people; it's just annoying when people boost.


Anyway, found a sick way to get points today. Take control of the flag in Team Defender, dig in somewhere and deploy a portable radar underneath you. Assuming your team is at least have competent, you'll be getting tons of XP every time someone gets a kill in the vicinity of your radar, while at the same time getting points for holding the flag.

Not to mention Team Defender is just awesome in general :p

I saw someone do this today, he was like 3-26, but he had a high ass score despite doing the worst K/D wise and then I remembered Tac Insert immediately.

I've been seeing alot of Tac Insert today in KC, guess it's starting to catch on.

I didn't even realize he was boosting until you mentioned it right now. He literally had 1 kill and a score of 3000 points.

I love how the FMG9's are still broken despite Robert Bowling's insistence that they nerfed them.

That douchebag has lied to the Call of Duty community about so much stuff since CoD4. I guess that's what a "Creative Strategist" does; lie his ass off to customers again and again.

Damn, Overwatch looks like a damn cool map. Italy looks like it might have a nice theme going on too.

It was more difficult to quick scope which needs to happen again.
Click to expand...
The "fixes" in Black Ops made it harder to snipe normally while quickscoping remained comparatively unaffected. Throwing your crosshairs off when you scope in matters when the guy is 100 ft away and shooting at you, not so much when he's right in your face. They were right in patching those "fixes" out of the game.

That crane brings back highrise memories.
Click to expand...
I would've agreed if Hardhat hadn't made me despise cranes. There's this giant-ass crane in it that only serves the purpose of eating your killstreak missiles and costing you kills. :mad:

Anyone else getting heavy Hazard (from Black Ops) vibes from that Morningwood picture? It'll probably be nothing like it in play but same feeling going on in that picture.

Pick it as your primary weapon; game plays itself.

Can you still earn a MOAB in Drop Zone or is that disabled along with the rest of the point streaks?

My friends and I ran into two guys boosting in DZ yesterday and it seemed pretty pointless to me. My friend stopped them around 23 kills so they never got it (if it was even possible).

Not sure how this applies to the statement you're quoting.

That's okay, it wasn't directed at you or xtortion's comment on his K/D. You had to have played with us last night to understand, preferably while also posting on GAF, talking on the phone, and talking to someone in the same room as you at the same time

Click to expand...

Primary: Striker w/Extended Mags and Damage (have fun grinding for that, it sucks but once you get damage it's so worth it)

Secondary: Akimbo Skorpions

Grenades and equipment is up to you, I usually use semtex and stun grenades.

Perks: Slight of Hand
Assassin
Steady Aim (you never want to ADS w/the striker)

Specialist Killstreak: Hardline,(you'll be getting many assists, and every 2 count as a kill towards the streak) Dead Silence, Scavenger.



That's what I run anyway.


EDIT: It's the 4th class

Today I finished a game with 3 attack helicopters - I couldn´t deploy them, because the airspace was constantly crowed, lol
Click to expand...
On that note, let's say you have an attack helicopter, but then go on to earn another heli such as a Pavelow or Osprey. If the match is getting close to being over, you can actually pull out a Stinger and shoot down your own attack helicopter so you can call in the more powerful air support.

Discovered this the hard way. Was playing on Outpost and was trying to take out an enemy UAV flying near my attack chopper. Got the lock on and blew up my own air support. Couldn't help but laugh at that one!

Man quick scoping in this game is so easy. Not sure why some people talk as if it requires skill. Played a Kill Confirmed game on Underground earlier today and half the enemy team was doing it so I picked up one of their rifles and tried it, so easy. Just aim towards them and scope in then fire and it seemed like 75% of the time I got a OSK. I assume it's even easier when you know what you're doing. Thank goodness hardly anyone does this, seems silly to even have it in the game.

That's a good point. I haven't gone back to any of the old games, and usually wouldn't, but it would definitely be hard to adjust without Stalker.

I'm 99% sure I saw one the other day in Drop Zone.

Striker with damage and ext. mags is a beast. I thought about not prestiging again, but quickly changed my mind. You don't even have a chance against it because the range is so ridiculous. It's pretty decent with just kick and the grip, but the other shotguns definitely need that boost. They are absolutely horrible.

It's funny that you have to grind forever to get ext. mags to make the shotguns good, but the glitch that makes the grind worth it might get patched out anyway. I guess all the shotgun guys should just enjoy it while it lasts?

I thought a recent hot fix already took care of the glitch?
