I wouldn't join their lobby and risk associating yourself with them. A 5000 day ban is looming over their heads right now. Only a matter of time.

Yep never would, just wondering what is their incentive for taking the time to type and send all those messages

I wouldn't. I've prestiged four times and don't see the point of it anymore.
Gah posted this in the wrong thread, stupid topic titles both having "99" in them, lol.
A quick question, how does the "Unlock Gear" work in the prestige shop?
Does it unlock a weapon/perk for that prestige level or does it unlock the weapon/perk from then on regardless how many times you prestige.
So if I unlocked the ACR early would I then keep it from then onwards or just till I prestige a second or third time?

I wouldn't. It's much more satisfying going for gold weapons.

You keep it forever.
So when you use your first token in a stinger (as you should) you will always have that weapon available when you create classes. It carries over when you prestige.
You can use the prestige shop anytime after your first prestige, and you will have access to all items/perks/weapons when choosing what to unlock...so you don't have to worry out getting to 77 to use a token on portable radar, for example.

I'm still wondering what incentivizes kids to send spam all recent players with a "Message to all recent players: If you want to join my [a bunch of dumb shit that you don't hear because by now you already deleted the message]"

Just equiped my first shotgun ever, Striker, at level 77.
Seems amazing on close quarters but I do not understand how to play with it yet when I get to open spaces of a map, or long corridors.

Cheers!
But dammit, I had no idea you kept it forever, I am 2nd Prestige now and was just keeping my tokens and thought maybe I should actually ask.
Typical, lol, and yea, I would have unlocked the stinger first, the only weapon I really missed playing through again, wish I had known, oh well. XD
Wait until you get damage and extended mags. Range extends the range but I'd stick with damage and not engage people at long distances.

Wifi absolutely has an impact. For starters, the latency between you and the router is higher, automatically putting you in the hole. Wired only if you have the choice.

Try using Striker with Overkill and have one of your favorite assault rifles or sub machine guns as your primary weapon. I do quite well with PP90 & Striker myself.
Crazy talk! Range adds a ton of range which is great with Extreme Conditioning and a good Specialist package. The semi auto is fast enough to kill at long range and with extended mags unlocked you can get Blind Eye and Sleight of Hand all before you have to reload. 25 kills 5 deaths on CQC maps easy unless your team is bad, and their team is good. I like Sitrep as 3rd perk bc steady aim really isn't necessary.
It's actually funny to me how the AA12 description says large mags because the Striker one is absolutely huge especially with extended mags, its crazy.
I'll have to try Range more an see if I like it better. I just got my Striker to gold playing Drop Zone and am on to the AA12 now. So painful. Can't hit anyone unless they are right in front of me.
My Striker class is nuts. I can be pretty beast. I won't ever get a flawless game even with the new spawns but tactically you can kick butt to the point where its almost mundane.I'll have to try Range more an see if I like it better.

AA12 is my other gold gun besides ACR and Striker. Here's the deal. It's pure pain to play with until you unlock Range. But its very VERY good with that and extended mags. There's only 1 usable class setup though imo. 1 deviation makes it unusable.
AA12 extended mags range
Mp9 suppressed
Sleight of Hand

Give it a shot. Hard until range, pretty awesome at extended mags

This game, ugh. I like the game, but quickscoping is the dumbest thing ever to leave in a game. The shit breaks the balance so much.
QS is really dumb but I don't run into it enough for it to be annoying. I don't think I've ever run into anyone who was really good at it either but I only have ~1400 games played so I don't know if it is a good sample size or not.

That's crazy because it happens to me probably every three games or so. Snipers running around quickscoping everyone.

The point of shotguns is that you need to hug walls more so that you minimize how often you are in open areas. You also want to take the more out-of-the-way route for flanking.
And with all the clutter and cover on all of these maps you can always find a more close-quarters route.
I mainly play TDM if that matters. A very small percentage of people I face snipe to begin with and then about half of those people QS but I rarely ever get killed by someone quickscoping.
I guess I'm just lucky or maybe QS doesn't work well against my playstyle so I don't encounter it as much.
Hey just a heads up guys. Apparently people who got banned/stat reset for doing the token glitch got all their stats reset EXCEPT for losses and deaths so if you run into extremely low K/D players that could be the reason why. LMAO
I came across someone last night who was like prestige 6/7 (I forget what his symbol was) and about level 40, he was the craziest quickscoper I have seen and literally destroyed anyone that got near him for the first half of the game till the spawns were a bit more spread out.
I don't think I would mind quickscoping so much if every match there weren't a few people running about using sniper rifles at close quarters and a bunch of people running around with FMGs, it is such a joke that they seem to be doing nothing about either, I rarely if ever get killed or see someone using a sniper rifle properly these days.

That's the greatest thing ever, if true. I've seen people bragging about taking the temp ban for the free stat reset so if they get screwed twice, awesome stuff.

Ok the spam on 360 is getting really out of hand, every single game I get on average 1-2 messages and the same amount of game invites to some shitty infection game.
Can't Activision do something?

Do what? They're asking if you want to play with them, that should never be bannable.
"Infection" is a new game mode in MW3, they're not talking about hacks. Chill out.

Yay, just got my first MOAB using only a UMP45, I wanted a title for it though
You don't get a title? That surprises me. I guess they figure people are less likely to boost their way to MOABs if there is no title.

Is there any way to see how many MOAB's you've called in? Im into double figures now, all in TDM.

If you have prestige tokens I don't see why not. I've got my go to class completely unlocked and with double weapon XP I get the kick prof and silencer for my G36 within 3 or 4 matches.
Yeah it looks like the MOAB user doesn't get a title, but I think the opposing team does at least

I've gotten four of them. Feels pretty good.
Spawns are still horrible. Oh, and welcome to modern striker 3 at this point in the lifespan of the game lol. It's time to stop taking the game seriously in any way. Trust me, it's a lot more fun that way. The game is a joke at this juncture. I wish I never bought the hardened edition.
Who would've thought treyarch would end up being the ones people are looking at to save the franchise now?
I wonder what it must be like for the type of person who only plays cod. Cod4 and WaW are ruined by hackers, and everything after that either has major connection problems or is just straight up trash. This type of person is living in a sad state of affairs, but deserves better.
If there is any hungry developer out there (respawn), you'd better make sure your game is 60fps, fast-paced, twitchy, and has dedicated servers.

Really just not enjoying it anymore. I hate how small the maps are. I hate how spawns are grouped up and you run into 2 or more guys at once. I hate how there's very little chance of racking up kills by playing aggressively. It's fun to play aggressively but that's not a good way to get high scores. You have to play somewhat near your team to avoid getting clusterfucked by spawning. You have to patrol a small section of the map to get high scores or face the repercussions of behind the back spawning. The maps are way too wide open and you can't refill defensive explosives which means you have to rely on your teammates defending the perimeter but you can't do that because everyone aims in the one spot they know a particular enemy exists so you're always in danger of getting flanked. Nevermind that Stalker Pro is far more useful than Scrambler Pro ever was and is very widely used making any defensive explosive almost useless. So frustrating.

How hard would it be to change the "got your tags" XP to 50 like every other dog tag pickup.
Can't really blame them for doing it though. It's not a glitch and is by far the fastest way to level up. I don't think it can even be considered boosting since there aren't two or more parties involved. Either way, the XP value should be tweaked.
nope
