I just played Infected for a couple hours and, as normal, won nearly all the matches. But when I check Elite it shows that all those matches were losses. What gives?

If my brothers buys the map packs on his account (but on my xbox) can I use them on my account as well? (same xbox)

Due to high levels of boosting and cheating detected by our Live Ops team, our winner verification process took longer than expected for the first round of Clan Operations. We are currently working to reduce the gap between the end of a Clan Operation and when prizing is awarded to winners. In addition, we're fine-tuning the leaderboard system to streamline the verification process.

Also...

A modding group created a viral mod, which we prevented from spreading within twelve hours yesterday. Sadly, in ‘protest’ at our ability to disable this they are now inviting player’s to private matches where they reset their stats. We have a fix for this in the works and are backing up player’s stats so that we can restore them if needed next week. In the meantime avoid friend invites from ANYONE not on your friend list

I should be reaching 15th prestige in a day or 2. Thinking of resetting my stats for a 2nd time then using nothing but a riot shield/C4/knife to get kills. See how long it takes to prestige using that. I want to do something different and challenge myself.

I came in to complain, as it was my a first mw3 after the patch that was supposed to make the match making to closer people, but i've been getting over 100ms+ games instead of typical 75ms or less. On top of it, all kinds of weird shit is happening,,, I guess it's the server outrage is doing all these?

Either way, it doesn't seem like a game with a billion dollar revenue each year. I'll check out the new maps later, I guess.

supposedly the hotfix for double xp rolled back that matchmaking update because people in small countries and rural areas could not find games. Also if you have the new maps they seem to be only searching for other people with the dlc and thats why matchmaking is so slow.

I have been told if you disable the maps for matchmaking you will find a lot more local games at 50ms (I haven't tried this yet). I normally get tossed into games on the first search since the hot fix i'm waiting for 150ms searches. I'm starting to think these devs are inept.

Damn. Since I discovered how much I like playing the infected mode about two weeks or so ago, I've been playing it non-stop. Haven't ran into MoaB boosters yet, until yesterday. Now it seems like I am running into them all the time. I need to get quicker at realizing what what they are up to so I can suicide, turn zombie, and foil their plans.

I'm just going to be wary of anyone who brings a guest into a round of Infection from now on.

Yep. Bowling just quit Infinity Ward and Activision.

AKA, the guy who stood on a stage at Call of Duty XP and told everyone "NO MORE LAST STAND!" when he knew Final Stand, which is much worse, was still in the game. Just one of the many lies he's fed the community since CoD4. GTFO.

I don't see why you guys are blaming Bowling for MW3's shittiness when all indication points to Activision treating IW like shit and giving the developers shitty infrastructure.

To put things in perspective, you have three different studios working on the game that are NOT all located in the same place.

If you're just going to troll, get out of the thread. No one wants to listen to that shit. It's not a difficult concept to grasp. Do you see now why NBA-GAF keeps getting complained about?

6:30 CDT is when the new clan op starts, by the way, guys. Most kills in TDM.

IMO, it was never Bowling's fault in the first place because the guy doesn't write code for the games. He's just the face of the game and as a result, the public punching bag. Obviously there is someone above him who is insisting on having bullshit like final stand/dead man's hand in the game. His departure isn't going to prevent this game from being garbage.

Holy Shit! Bowling Quit?!?!?!

Honestly, I feel bad for him, he was basically made the punching bag for the public, and I always got that vibe from him that even he didn't necessarily agree with the direction CoD was taking.

Indeed. Also recently he kept going on about how classic maps should be free. I doubt Activision liked that lol.

No problem, just thought I'd ask. :)

At best, we'll probably get a bronze for this clan ops, lol.

There doesn't seem to be an easy way to find this information: What are the current playlists? I don't have the game currently installed on Steam, but I kinda want to jump back in.

Since playing from launch, I can honestly say this is the worst shooter I've ever played in my life. With every area being completely open from 3 or more sides, Stopping Power Premium Plus Pro Damage Supreme being on every gun, the existence of Deathstreaks, 10 full second visual/UAV/sound loss flashbangs, penetratable walls, lag, lag compensation, and theatre mode slowdown, no dedicated servers on console, and horrible horrible spawns, the game boils down to zero skill and a matter of who sees who first. What's the point of playing when you have an incredibly variable network environment and such low health?

The paragraph I just wrote is a recipe for ultimate crap. In previous games, you could run away and regroup, away from a firefight. In this one? Ha! 1 bullet and I'm already heaving and ho-ing, and there are 4 guys spawning from the enemy's asscrack and following him. I get spawnkilled by bullets and the spawn logic will put you around the corner from an opponent, while you're still disoriented. Hell, you can spawn IN enemy view! There are NO safe zones, who the fuck made these maps? No really, who the fuck made these maps? They might as well make an ice skating rink, put a zamboni in there and call it Elite Drop#6, the baddest map of all, made possible by the incredible developers, Splash Damage, Sledgehammer, Infinity Ward and Activision, the one you've all been waiting for.. Rink!

No I don't blame the map designers, this IS the big boys up top intended. They WANT everyone to get kills. They WANT it to be a clusterfuck.

This is BY FAR the lowest common denominator in shooter gaming.

I bought Elite too, I'm such an ass. Ugh.

New Community playlists incoming:

This weekend, on March 30th, we will be adding three FFA gunplay modes to the Community Playlists on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

The new modes are available to ALL players.

The FFA Gunplay playlist cycles 4 different modes:


There are 2 Gun Game variations.

-One variation uses an 18 gun progression including 2 sniper rifles to separate the men from the boys.

-The second variation cycles 6 guns 3 times (no sniper rifles) so learn the 6 gun progression and pace yourself through the 3 waves.


One In The Chamber uses the P99 handgun.

-Players begin with one bullet and earn a bullet for every kill (with gun or tactical knife).

-Elimination occurs after 3 deaths but the last 3 players will be visible on the mini-map to keep the action rolling.

-Eliminated players can chase remaining players in spectator mode and back a winner of their choosing by selecting them.

-Selecting a player that you're spectating gives you 150 XP for each of their subsequent kills so you can still stay in the game after you're eliminated.


Lastly there is a new variation on Free For All that was created by our community and we LOVE. Players call it All Or Nothing.

-All players spawn with the USP .45 handgun with no ammo and a Throwing Knife.

-The loadout includes the Hardline perk and Specialist point streak with Scavenger in the first slot.

-As you get kills, you pick up scavenger packs and get ammo.

-Once you're killed you spawn back with no ammo and start again.

-It's like One in the Chamber meets Infected with plenty of hilarity mixed in.


All feedback should be directed to twitter @InfinityWard.
