I went 43-6 on regular TDM using a silenced USAS the other day, here's the match.

I like the USAS even though it isn't that good, I just hope when I get damage and extended mags it becomes usable at least. Oh, and is it just me, or do you sprint longer while holding the USAS?

Range + Mags is better.

EDIT: NERF THAT FUCKING STRIKER. Anyone that thinks that wants all the shotguns to be buffed the striker level just sucks with shotguns. A shotgun shouldn't beat every other gun any range that isn't past its hitmarker range.

With mags and range it can get a OHK at any range you can get a hitmarker with it.

I like Hardhat. Probably the only small map in the series that's worth a damn.

My favorite small map was Courtyard from WaW.

Spec Ops will net you tons of hours with a buddy.

MP will net you hundreds if you liked it.

It's amazing how many kills you can get running UAV/Care Package/IMS.

I wish the Sentry Gun was 6 kills so I could have both an IMS and Sentry Gun on the field all the time. It's a good thing I get it often though in the care package.

IMS is sometimes fucked up.

I planted it, detected an enemy, turret goes up, I shot the enemy dead, then it freaking exploded, killing me instead. lol

Still pretty useful on demolition though.

double post.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Type-95 is definitely not as accurate when firing from the hip anymore. Darn. LOL

Happened to me a bunch of times yesterday. The IMS explosion can injury you just like your own airstrikes and whatnot. Many times I killed enemies around my IMS forgetting that it was there and then it killed me. Lol.

 

[eek5]

I'm pretty sure stalker pro delays IMS which is probably what you guys are seeing. It'll fire the thing into the air but won't explode until after a delay

Yeah it sucks, even with Steady Aim. Go Stalker or Dead Silence with it. Hipfire only at point-blank range.

 

[Radec]

What I've experience was I've killed the guy before the IMS shoots(it beeps then shoot). If that happens and you're near the IMS, you'll get hurt or die.

 

[Ryck]

Hmmm on that Striker vid why didn't the guy use Steady Aim? He didn't ADS once...

Guy can get kills across the map in less than half a second. That's what it takes for people to be able to use a shotgun. It has to literally have range comparable to the 1887 for people to think a shotgun is decent.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Did they ever fix the issue on the 360 where you can't join your friend's lobbies by using the in game "Y" Friends list? Anytime I want to join a game I always have to do so through the mini-blades/guide. Or is this just me still having the problem? :|

 

[user_nat]

For the last few days/week this game has become completely unplayable at about this time. Yet perfectly fine in the morning when you would think there is less people from my time zone on.

We pretty much cannot find a game and when we finally do the connection is terrible. Makes no sense.

 

[Radec]

Tried the striker setup earlier and did pretty good.

But I only gained 1 level so fuck that. Im going back to my fav setup.

[Andrew.]

Spec Ops is a brilliant improvement over MW2's Spec Ops. Campaign is a bit worse than MW2. The story is pretty lacking and even on Veteran, the game is pretty easy. You can make your decision from that. (Personally, I'd go with a game like Skyrim, but that's just me.)

THANK YOU SO MUCH...THAT ENDED UP BEING MY DECISION AFTER CONSULTING SOME OF MY OTHER FELLOW GAFFERS...IM SAD TO HEAR THE CAMPAIGN IS LESS....I LOVED THE CAMPAIGN IN MW2

Stats reset? Thank God. My KD was 1.7 so I'll be sitting at a nice 2.x if I get reset now that I've gotten my groove. Or will they just reset to pre-glitch? If so, meh...

10 bucks says they can't reset unlocked gear

 

[Syph Medwes]

Well what I wanna know is if they reset your stats and tokens, will you have 0 either way, or will it be the same as when you first bought MW3? As in, you start off with x tokens based on if you prestiged in previous games.

 

[X-Frame]

I assume because he values sound whoring more than the tighter pellet spread -- though it sure looks like the difference of a Striker with and without Steady Aim isn't much.

Good to know though as I'd rather run Dead Silence.

Maybe its just me but it seems like I do better firing from the hip when I don't use steady aim.

I think I am starting to dislike Kill Confirmed. In theory it's supposed to discourage camping, but really it encourages camping and makes boosting easier because you can deliberately not get the tags just to extend the game and the tac insert boosting now gives 250 to the guy dying every time he respawns.

It would definitely be nice to see Sandy do a booster justice Kill Confirmed edition. (EDIT: eventually when he's not as burned out on CoD)

Bigger spread makes it so you don't have to compensate for the recoil as much. since you're more likely to still have the enemy in your hipfire reticle.

 

[DRE Fei]

I think there was some sort of update today. I got disconnected, then when I logged on again it had a different version number.

he said he's burned out on CoD, so don't count on it. I figured Kill Confirmed would turn into a mess eventually, that's why I never really got into it .

Oh, and the USAS with mags and range is actually pretty good, the only shotgun that is effective without being overpowered imo.

This is why I loathe the CoD community. It's never about playing the game, it's about getting points, leveling up, and breaking the game. Not to mention everyone is a fucking wannabe YouTube Superstar.

Fuck.

So you equip Sitrep and hunt for their Tac Insert? Doesn't sound nearly as fun or rewarding as stopping a nuke booster to me.

Loving Recon Pro at the moment. Started it a couple of days ago based on something in this thread.

Really useful in SnD, just would be great if I wasn't the only one.


Not 10th yet but been think about whether or not I want to reset when I do reach it.
Does a reset reset titles/emblems?
Do you need a prestige point to do it? So if I don't save a point I can never reset?

IMS is just a giant bouncing betty.

IMS is just a giant bouncing betty.

but it's like, 4 of them in 1 yo. I've actually started to run IMS instead of predator missile since I play domination mostly. I mean, the predator usually just gets me one kill, so I'm not missing much by not picking it.

 

[aku:jiki]

I just lost a MOAB because a kid apparently ran all around one of the noisiest rooms in the game (the barrell building in the middle of Outpost) without making a single sound or using dead silence, ending up behind me with a claymore. I mean, I should be ecstatic that I went 90-13 but because the game failed me at the most important moment, I just feel robbed and annoyed by it. This game is pretty fucking frustrating.

That's what I'm saying! I know I should be very happy with that match, but because the game is so laggy and glitchy, I don't think I ever really feel satisfied with any match. I know most encounters feel like a dice roll and not like me outskilling the other guy, at the very least.

For every time it encourages 1 kid to impress people by getting a MOAB with an 1887 or MK46 you have 10 kids that are either boosting or using the same 6 weapons (Type 95, MSR, Striker, Dual Fmg, Dual Skorpion, silenced ACR) just because getting easy wins is more important than trying new setups.

Fair point about the lag. For the first time the game has begun to lag like crazy for me. After the last update I think, but I could be imagining that. I haven't had one "clean" match in over a week.

No G36C/PP90/MP7 on that list?

 

[Rabbitweed]

God damn, this host disadvantage is pissin me off. The patch didn't do jack shit to the lag compensation when you're the host. This week my k/d has been around 1.7 but whenever I'm the host I can rarely go above 1.0. I'm just quiting all those matches now if I'm the host... gotta think about my blood pressure.

Anyway, just discovered how useful the recon drone is. You can get some pretty damn good scores with it and it definitely helps your team winning those matches.. should have tried it much earlier, those recon tags are some easy points for ranking up.

 

[TheApatheticOne]

I feel its safe to say that the PP90M1 with rapid fire and a silencer is my favorite gun in the game. Run Scavenger Pro, Hardline Pro, Steady Aim Pro.... you got a stew going!

 

[DRE Fei]

I think the cod games just have too many weapons in them anyway. Why put shitty guns in the game when people just ignore them? Nobody is gonna use the pm9 or mp5 or any lmg.

MP5 needs less recoil

LMGs should be low damage (except M60) but have almost no sway and no recoil

PM9 is fine as the joke gun

 

[Karl2177]

The weapon balance is directly tied into map design. There aren't any good long range Sniper maps like Derail or Bloc. The only decent LMG map is Seatown, and that's only in specific locations on the map. All of the MW3 maps are corners. This really promotes being able to quickly use weapons around the corner. ARs and SMGs get used to hell, along with duals and overpowered shotguns. I'd love some good multi-purpose maps.

 

[TestOfTide]

No G36C/PP90/MP7 on that list?

yeah, replace acr with MP7. That gun needs to have some recoil added. It is literally more accurate than most ARs. I guess it makes some sense that the ACR has pretty much no recoil, but it deals too much ranged damage.
