agreed with most of your points, but do you really think the shotguns are overpowered( not including the striker of course)?

In my games, the Striker and AA-12 are overpowered. The other shotties need some sort of boost to them to be unique from the others. The SPAS in MW2 had a smaller spread, which made it my shotgun of choice in that game. The 1887's boasted Range, and the AA-12 was for fire rate. Right now the ones that aren't the AA-12 or Striker just seem like the same useless gun.

I just don't really see the AA-12 being overpowered for a few reasons:
- It has the shortest hitmarker range (it's about half the hitmarker range of the striker or KSG)
- It has next to no ammo and a slow reload, which means you either NEED scavenger pro and have to deal with the slow reload, or are forced to use specialist
- really big spread meaning you will need to reload after one (maybe two) enemies.
Decided to try out the Striker and see what all the fuss is about.
Used Striker, Sleight/Assassin/Dead Silence/ Support Package: UAV/Ballistic Vests
Now keep in mind I am not very good. I am pretty average, 1.2 KD but damn that gun is overpowered as hell. Tried using it on Fallen and it didn't do so hot tho lol.
Also I need some people to play with, anyone with PSN please add me I play quite a bit throughout the day.

Not sure if it's my pS3 that's failing (launch unit) or the game crashed but as soon as the game started (online) my tv made this really loud rumbling noise even with volume relatively low. I quickly switch to another input and it was definitely from the game.

good job.
but dude, how you get 52 kills and only under 3000 points?
It was 50 points per kill and I didn't defuse or plant very much if at all. Normally I go straight for the bombs but the shotguns make me play differently, recklessly. In any case I just prestiged and got rid of the Striker for a while, it's fun and all but I felt like whenever things didn't go well I'd use it to get some kills and find a groove. They really need to nerf that gun ASAP.

heh, I actually managed to get a MOAB with the AA12 the very next match.I uploaded both of these matches, so for anyone interested in watching:

Of all the shotguns, the AA12 maybe the biggest pain to use; I find myself treating it like a secondary when I use it sometimes ( though not in those matches ). The AA12 is hardly a one shot kill, and I did get killed by akimbo whatever's a good amount. Also, I've flirted with an Spas 12 MOAB a couple times the past few days too, but it's unbelievable the ways I got buzzkilled when going for one ( fucking final stand is like a pump action user's worse enemy ).

Really well played there Putin'. Great play style.
I've been killed a few times 2 or 3 off a MOAB. FFA spawns are truly awful in this game.

Soon man, soon. I got a MOAB with a silenced USAS and I plan on doing a commentary for that..... eventually.
Thanks, I appreciate it! Yeah the awful spawns make it so you never feel safe, even if you're on a roll, all it takes is one bad spawn to end it....

The theatre has been fucked up for me this week. Just found out that it hasn't recorded any of my games (well, actually one from Wednesday) this week even though the recording has been enabled the whole time... Oh man, I've had some pretty good games during the last 2-3 days and wanted to place some of the best ones in the online vault but those matches are now gone.. Fuuuck.

I forgot how powerful the M4A1 is. Good game to those I played against from the clan last night in a random game.
I can't ever understand how shit like this happens. I run for more than 5 seconds paying attention to sounds and radar and I get shot in the back by someone just spawning or someone with assassin or something. Is it just that you play 12 hours a day so matches like this happen or is this your regular gameplay? The best I've done is 37-3 and that was with some very generous reapers.

appreciate it.
A little of both sadly
I generally do pretty well, though I haven't really tried for MOABS until recently( I got a few more MOAB gameplays tucked away ). Yet at the same time this is pretty much the only game I play, and I play too much of it because I'm in between school semesters and my car crapped out on me a month ago and I can't afford to fix it ( I deliver pizza's, so that was my job and social life in one swoop
).Damn, that might've been too much info lol. Well, School is starting back up soon and I just got a new job, so I'm trying to get my "fix" in now.

Just watched the latest episode of Roll Call, where they announced the first DLC release date 24 Jan for Xbox 360. Supposedly it's Maps and SpecOps missions. Really disappointing episode - they said it's the exclusive first look at first MW3 DLC, but they didn't show a thing. Nada. Just two guys talking.
Also, there's a Friday Night Fight featuring Michelle Rodriguez. She's even sexier when being a baddass and trashtalking in MW3.

Yeah, nice use of that portable radar as well. I have always used only flash/concussion grenades but after seeing those videos I'm definitely gonna start using that radar as soon as I unlock it. Meanwhile I've been using that portable jammer and that thing is really handy too. It has probably saved me a lot of times since I've been rocking Overkill (PP90 + Striker) instead of Assassin recently.
And why oh why people don't take advantage of those ballistic vests that I'm throwing out in every match? Damn frustrating when people just run by them... they are good for you!

We need to go deeper.
My boy finally put up another video in his series. This one breaks down the map Downturn.

He has a couple of vids stored up so he should be pushing a couple in out the next few days/weeks.

Nice one. Really looking forwards to your K/D series. My ratio is embarrassingly bad.
There's a spawn trap on Hardhat. I'm not sure where anyone else has to be for it to trigger, but they were spawning in front of me repeatedly and not facing me. The spawn was at the bottom of the hill that faces towards the enclosed room with the boxes, and a little past that is the big narrow hall in the middle and one end of the pipe. I was at the side top looking down at the spawn. Ugly

So I played Spec Ops survival with a buddy of mine this afternoon. We were having some connection issues, as we'd been booted out of our game to a lost connection several times.
Anyway, at one point after we'd been booted, I complained to my buddy how terrible he was playing, as I'd had to revive him several times and we had only gotten to Wave 9 at the time. He then told me that he wasn't downed at any point, and he'd had to revive me several times, even though I was never down either. Then, as we were discussing more what happened before we were booted due to a lost connection, we determined that we each were at opposite points on the map from where we each thought the other person was.
In short, this is absolutely insane. I've never had anything like this happen in any online game. We were playing survival co-op together, but yet it was like we were playing two different games, neither of us actually in the other person's version of the game.
I don't know if this is just some weird isolated incident, or if anyone else has ever experienced anything like this, but I'm just completely baffled by what I experienced.

Great video as always. I was in a total rut with the game and my K/D was dropping like a rock, but I saw your video last week about running the silenced PP90 class with the low-end killstreaks, and me and my friend starting rocking that and our K/D's have both been going way up, IMS' are totally brutal on most of the maps, especially in Domination. Thanks!
I think I figured out the biggest problem with this game.
It's the matchmaking, it seems broken like half the time. If I had video-recording capabilities, it would be easier to show why I think it's the matchmaking that's the problem when compared to the past games.
Something tells me that if the matchmaking was addressed, it would fix alot of the lag/host advantage issues.

I dropped a MOAB on my first game back from a two week hiatus. Not bad haha.
But they are already messing with the matchmaking and I feel like it's making the game worse. When it first came out, we were only matched up with swedes and there'd only be 1-2 laggy players in a match. Nowadays, it's a mix of europeans and it feels like every match has 2-4 guys lagging around to the point of unplayability.
I agree that I'm doing better now than when the came out as well, but I think that's just us learning to cope with it rather than the game getting better. I play MW3 in a much calmer way than I play MW2, because MW3 simply can't handle running and gunning.
