So for non-elite members I assume they will wait till there is 5 maps and then release a map pack sometime this spring? Maybe earlier?
For new page:
Next map "Overwatch" hits Feb 21st for 360 Elite premium.

4 MP maps + 2 Spec Ops missions this March for 360/April for PS3/PC.

Hopefully they recognized that some people thought game modes as Elite "content" was bullshit.
My goodness some of the responses fourzerotwo gets are ridiculous. Not in a good way, either. He must not be thin-skinned

I will never understand why I'm always in teams that get their asses kicked when I play with randoms... Out of the last 22-23 games (TDM) that I've played I have won only three. My k/d ratio has also tanked for the first time cos it's kind of hard to get any big streaks going on when you're constantly bombarded with predators, Reapers and all kinds of shit that my 1-20 team mates are handing out to the enemy. So damn frustrating to play when you're the only one going positive most of the time.
And sheeiiit, almost pulled off my first MOAB in Village but run out of time. I was at 22-0 but got knifed in the back (which was also the game winning kill for the enemy team) as soon as I started my last desperate run & gun effort to get the last two kills. Waaaahhh...

Yeah it totally throws off my strafing when I'm trying hit someone from medium to long range. I start darting around like a retarded monkey on cocaine.

FWIW, Kotaku is reporting that you can fall to your death on the Overwatch map, since there are no edges to the skyscraper.

I don't know if this is actual reporting from a source at Infinity Ward or just Kotaku "reporting."

I figured it was pretty obvious looking at a few of those screens. Guess common sense is considered reporting to them. I suppose its mainly just their way of talking about the new map.

Anyone know if this will run well on an E8400, 9800gt, 2gb ram? i'm getting sick of the ps3 version.
Infection is insane today I had 2 MOAB and barely missed 3rd in like 2 hours and multiple people getting MOAB in the same game. They changed akimbo magnums to sniper rifles, kill patched some climbing spots and took away throwing knives from infected... Downside is jerks get infected and just quit and instantly hit rejoin from recent players list because they know they will be alive. My K/D is steadily on the rise, had to get off and watch UK basketball but bout to go rape some more infested.
Edit:
New map looks awesome thanks for posting that I saw the Drop Zone news on Twitter and came to post the good news.
Also I honestly don't understand the hate for Elite or why anyone would not have it if you play the game. It's the same price and the usual DLC releases but you get them early and the silly little extras on the website/emblems. Smart people bought the Hardened used Elite code and then sold founders card on Ebay.

So to preface this post, I didn't really know infection was about in this game( I just assumed it was like the Halo version), every message I got in game to join a infection lobby I ignored, and really have no interest in it as a gametype. Now with that said I came across this video just now:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vNrVJCc8IJ4#!
So basically, as the infected, you're supposed to run up and stab a guy camping with a fully automatic weapon? This could work a little better if there wasn't some maps that possessed areas with one access point. This gametype does not seem fun at all, unlike Drop Zone, where you can see the appeal immediately.

can anyone find the pc digital dl for $29 or less? I really want it but can't pay anymore than that

Didn't know what infected was about. Decided to try a game..went in..immediately backed out. Saw people getting ontop of anything and everything to be safe from the knife. Was this supposed to be a fun game mode?
I haven't been on MW3 lately (because of FF13-2) but that game left a bad taste in my mouth. I think I'll be staying away from MW3 for now and dive into some RPG's/shmups. (Kingdoms of Amalur and DoDonPachi Resurrection..im looking at you)
I will say, though. Overwatch looks like it can be a great map. Looking forward to picking up that map pack, hopefully, next month. Still can't see myself paying for Elite though.

New map looks like Highrise from MW2. Can't wait to try it out whenever they release the DLC in a map pack.
You've played so much MW3, it's a good thing that you're taking a break.
Better get the MOABs in while the gettings good tonight. I personally cringed at this because I suck with throwing knifes. Taking them from the infected totally ruined any chance they had at penetrating a good team though so i'm glad they coming back just didn't want a whole mode.

Glad to hear Drop Zone is back. Time to put Recon back on and level up.
This happened the first time I played Infected. It was on Seatown as well in the same stop as the video. So fucking stupid. How does this even get the ok from the developers?
It's not possible like this any more. They added TKnife modes for the Striker and the PP90M1. Infected now have throwing knives in these variants, so you can easily take people out that are perched like that. The playlists that don't have the throwing knife have the AA-12 with no sidearm, or the MP5 with no side arm; and these are map specific. They also created dead zones that insta-kill you for climbing on certain surfaces, like on top of the mall kiosk in Arcaden. After a few hours of infected this morning, the highest anyone got was 16 kills. This was after attaining and witnessing several MOABs last night. The throwing knife is a good equalizer, but it took away a lot of the fun provided by high kill matches.

So Infected has ruined several legitimate spots (for other game modes). Not to mention, one person (infected) camps in a door, buddy sits behind them. Free moab. They need to turn teamkilling on to fix this. Of course, making it so it doesn't count towards the deaths of the person killed.
Wat.
Enabling friendly fire will only make it worse.
IMO to make it more challenging, put Smoke grenade on the Infected.
Turn off the Scavenger perk on the Hunters.

No. It wouldn't. You can't move a person on your team without that. If an infected is working with a non-infected and is blocking a door, the non-infected person is going to get a moab.
Period.

I almost wonder if having the Infected playlist is good for all the other playlists. It gives all the boosters one place to go.

Just got my last prestige token and I think I might just do the stat reset so that I can more easily improve my K/D. (currently at prestige 10 level 1)
Do I get back the prestige tokens for prestiging in other games and do I get back the prestige token for signing up for elite?

You'll get the tokens back from past COD games. May not show up right away but after a few games, you'll see it. Can't say about Elite since I haven't purchased it.
Played infection last night..someone went 103-1, lol.
Maybe I'm late on this but I noticed during drop zone, if you hijack an enemy juggernaut it actually SAYS "hijack" but if it's any other package it won't. Working on that hidden hijack emblem so I was happy to see that. I'm pretty sure that's what I saw. Will try drop zone again just to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me lol.

It's ridiculous that Infection actually counts in your stats. Why can't they just implement a system that keeps stats for Community playlist games separate?
TestOfTide
Banned
Not sure about drop zone, but it definitely always say "hijacked +100" in other modes regardless of what is in the package.
I may have misread it, but I heard that the reasoning is that less people would play it if it didn't count towards stats (like what happened to Wager Matches in Black Ops).
TangoAlphaLima
Member
At least with Infection, I don't think that would be a problem. Anyone who played the game prior to its addition to the Community Playlist got inundated with invites for private Infection matches.
Sure, there would be less people playing it if the stats didn't count, but there would still be a lot playing.
Personally, I refuse to play it, because it's an unbalanced game mode that really encourages boosters and campers. It's probably a great mode if people played it without worrying about stats.
Hispanicguy
Member
Yea, I know hijacked +100 happens in the other modes and I though it would be the same for drop zone but it isn't UNLESS it's a juggernaut package. I'll be playing in a few to confirm that.
I personally can't stand Infection. Hate it. It was said that you get killed instantly if you go to certain places? I'll post a video of something that happened last night on Hardhat that made me hate this mode:

Would love to know how he was able to get up there, yet, when I tried I died lol.
