I knew Activision was greedy, but not THAT greedy.
At least the (overpriced) DLC from MW2 and Black Ops could be used on the main console by multiple Gamertags.

Well, I'm not sure if the hotfix has gone live yet, but either way, it should be fixed by tomorrow.

Yeah...I think I'm done giving Lord Kotick my money for this game every year. This probably my last game. If I buy whatever Treyarch's next game is, it definitely won't be Day One and I'll be buying it used.

Have they announced how many MS Points the ala carte DLC is going to be?

More than likely the same 5-for-$15 model.
I think IW/Sledgehammer are trying to see how much they can fuck up the game and still make money. That must be the answer. Zampella and West must have the biggest grins on their faces right now. Maybe they left a mole behind to screw the remaining development team up or something. The game has turned into a comedy act at this point.

I don't understand why they don't take note from fighting game developers and just hire CoD Fans to come up with rebalances.
But how did they manage to not test their patches. they had been talking about this patch at least a couple of weeks ago.
They already said they are fixing it in a hotfix dude.

I just played a TDM where our team won 7500-7400. I was nowhere near the final kill. Guess how we won the match?
A guy on our team who finished 5-16 got the final kill with that Last Stand C4 nonsense where normally he would have died and the other team should have won 7500-7400. If I were the guy who got C4ed, I would have snapped my disc in half.
Fuck deathstreaks so hard. I can't believe how much IW panders to idiots.

I don't have alot of time to play anymore and I find it hard to come back to this game anymore. It sucks to see that only some of the shotguns were buffed and the T95 wasn't nerfed. I cannot understand why IW or whoever would buff the USAS when before it was probably the only shotgun that was on par with the other primaries. It should've been obvious any buff to the USAS would've pushed it towards being overpowered; Sucks for me as it became one of my favorite guns after awhile.
Question for anyone who may know: was lag addressed at all in this patch?

No one was calling the USAS w/Mags & Range OP and setups that use mags are just as they were before the patch. the difference now is that leveling up the USAS is much more doable and less of a struggle to level 23.
The only real problem right now is that they still need to buff the 8 pellet guns.

My impression is 'yes' - at least my games have been much better post patch.

Why do people spawn in the middle of the map on Liberation?
- Shoot a guy under the main bridge, same guy spawns on the other side of the bridge and kills me.
- Running through to the underground, two guys spawn in front of me.
This map is fucking huge - why are people spawning on top of each other? It's almost as if they want every kill to be a 'revenge' kill or something. It's not that hard to program this shit, is it?

I'd play that map on Domination if I were you. Works much better for that mode.

Same shit happens even in domination. That fucking bridge.
dunno what level you are but here's a simple class to work towards.Can someone point me to some resources that offer tips and strategies for MW3? Aside from just, "play more." I'm usually rocking a nice 5 and 30 Kratio in most games. I'm not really concerned with it being positive, just it being... better. heh
Scar silenced & extended mags if you have it
Mp9 silenced if you have Blind Eye Pro, SMAW or Stinger if you only have Blind Eye.
Blind eye pro
Assassin pro
Dead Silence (Marksman if you don't have it)
Portable Radar (high level so you may not have it)
Betty
Specialist package
Scavenger
Sleight of hand
Hardline
This setup protects you from every killstreak assuming you're not near a teammate and keeps you silent as possible. Scar is insanely accurate and powerful. Very good at most ranges. You can work your way around fairly safely. after 2 kills, not worry about ammo or other guns, after 4 you can be a little aggressive. After 7 you're a beast. If you have Blind Eye Pro you can take a killstreak down with your silenced gun quickly, without showing up on radar, so get it to Pro! With Scavenger at 2 kills, and downing killstreaks counting as a kill, you can take something down with bullets, kill one guy and have Scavenger pack waiting for you.
Thing about specialist is this. Although you can get all perks before you've even unlocked them, it doesn't give Pro versions until you earn them. Blast shield pro isn't the greatest, but once you get up to 7 kills people want to take you down and that extra grenade and flash protection is awesome! So get blast shield to pro.
I'm level 28 at the moment, but I'll take a look at what I have open and build a class with your recommendations.

Sprint less, walking makes less noise, lets you aim down sights faster. Never sprint down corners or doorways. Take cover behind anything you can use. Use the right gun for the right situation, it's not useful to use a shotgun on interchange for example. Use your ears, hear footsteps but no friendlies are near you? Those are enemies. In general, enemies would spawn furthest from where most of your team mates are, use that knowledge to gauge the flow of the battle.
Also, slow down! You can't get that type of score unless you're bumrushing them. Blind Eye and Assassin help so much and so does knowing the map layouts and getting a feel for spawns.
If you're attempting Assault killstreaks, and you're in enemy territory, it helps to run back to your team or even a bit behind and regroup sometimes. Once you start pissing people off every rocket, grenade, flashbang, known to mankind will be tossed your way. That obviously also happens at choke points. Pick your battles.

This is a good question. I'm in it and I think we're casual, but I also play on off hours so I never see other members.
BTW I like the new maps. Sniper map looks great, and striker map is tight and colorful. I only wish there was a playlist available that just featured those two maps.
Who runs the clan? Just would like to send a message.

This. The Scar is a really good AR to use until you get to the ACR. I know a lot of people really like the G36C, and it's pretty good, but for some reason I feel more comfortable with the Scar. Plus it takes a while to unlock the G36C, whereas the Scar is a relatively early unlock.

I was going to make a witty comment about the search feature but I just scrolled though 4 pages of Community so I don't deserve to. Anyway here is your link, good sir.
heh - I was about to do a search in this thread. I don't spend a lot of time on community, didn't know there were separate threads for MW3 and then MW3 players.

Sorry I missed that! My Kinect is always on mute because I'd probably get flagged for foul language for shouting every time somebody shoots me...
Would have loved to join your party, good to play with some gaffers (I mostly get invites from Infection kids)

Tried the USAS12 last night. It was decent but I missed my spammy Striker lol. Ended up picking up the MK14 and had some fun with that on some of the larger maps.

Nah, I don't think any patch will fix this game... sometimes you get good connections and sometimes you lag like hell. And being the host still sucks big time. I quit several matches this evening due to a terrible lag and got the host migration notice at least four times.
USAS feels pretty good now but I wouldn't say it's overpowered... might be the lag but I got a lot of those "how the fuck didn't he die" moments with it earlier today. Well, I don't have damage proficiency yet so don't know how beastly is it then..

No.
What would unlocking proficiencies and attachments mid-match even do? It's not like you can re-spec your weapon from the class select screen. Getting 8 kills (7 with hardline) just unlocks all of the perks.
Edit: (until you die, then you have to start over)
That's what I was thinking too. But really, the only one that would be a waste is the 2 attachments. All the others unlocked mid game would help, kick, focus, stability, bullet penetration, etc.

It's at least true for shotguns to some degree (you unlock both damage and range when you reach the specialist bonus unless you already had range, in which case you don't unlock damage.)
And I seem to recall moving faster with my LMG when I unlocked the specialist bonus, so I'm pretty sure it's for all weapons that you unlock all the proficiencies when you reach the specialist bonus.
For ARs: Stabilty + Kick + Breath
For SMGs: unlocking range
For shotguns: Range + Damage
For LMGs and Snipers: Stability + Kick + Speed

Holy shit, the spawns on Liberation are a goddamn joke. Biggest map on the game and enemies are still spawning 3 feet away from each other.
Does IW even try anymore?

Probably last week of March.
Not all, but definitely some. There are YouTube videos out there that prove this to be the case.
Yes it does actually. It unlocks all perks and proficiencies.
By the way guys the Clan Leader for 360 is TheInquisitor (GAF name). I'd send him a pm, and he'd probably see it sooner. There is a bunch of randoms in the Elite page that ask for invites, so this way he'd know who you are.

Just be glad that liberation is a map that has the potential for a good spawn system. They just need to put in some code that makes it so that you don't spawn in the bunker unless no one is within 15 feet of the bunker not be afraid to spawn people at the beginning spawns.
Meanwhile there is literally no way to fix the spawns on Dome, Hardhat, or Mission unless they somehow can use a patch to add new areas & walls to to those maps.

Yea, the spawns on that map are particularly bad. It has helped me get some of the challenges that involve killing the same guy 5 times in a match.

Lol I'm sorry dude. I completely saw your avatar in my head and got your name wrong.
Haha my bad.
TDM is like a mini-domination. Just hold north bridge spawn and bunker spawn and you get free kills over and over.
A fix is coming that will allow Elite premium members to have their content played by other profiles on same console.

Seriously? WTF is this shit?
I just witness the MOAB for the first time. lol.
This guy who's running a PM-9 on Arkaden is a goddamn beast.
He just keep running and gunning enemy down easily. He almost dropped a 2nd one but unfortunately got killed by my teammate. (49-0) lol.
I think he went like 67-1 at the end of the domination game. Score was pretty close though.
Goddamn japanese guy.
