Really liking foundation and sanctuary. The last 4 maps have been really good, sucks that my friends aren't buying them
Sanctuary is beautiful though, so much to that map and little hidden passageways are cool. Definitely one of the best designed cod maps imo.

Sanctuary sure does seem to have a ton of neck high walls where you can only see the other person's head.
It also seems like it could be a campers paradise. That isn't really a complaint cuz I'm not above camping but yeah lots of needless little nooks and crannies to hide in.
The long sight lines kick ass though. There are a few spots me and a friend will be able to hold down quite nicely.

I didn't even think about the camping, I got lucky the one time I played on the map everyone seemed to be playing more objectively.
Brian Fellows
Pete Carroll Owns Me
Yeah if you are playing objective modes it probably won't be as prevalent. But I pretty much only play TDM with a tiny bit of Kill Confirmed mixed in.

Oh fuck yessssss.
Ill never understand why they don't fix this. Gun head is bs. Especially since guns are so strong in this one that you have no chance of getting away or returning fire in this one. Oh and players actually look camo'd. You get like 1ms to see them and start firing or you're down

What a waste double xp is if it's only in the shitty Elite playlists. There's just not enough people playing in there to find a decent connection.

I should get to #8 this weekend. Though not as soon as I'd hoped since I won't be getting much double XP. these last 3 levels take forever.
I don't know, i'm not too thrilled about 'faceoff' and these new maps for it. It's a bit disappointing seeing 4 maps on the content calender, thinking we might get some decent sized maps and instead we get 4 mini maps. Not to mention they all look just as big as Dome so I don't see why they don't throw those into regular TDM as well.

Matchmaking on PC seems to be worse since the latest patch. :-/

If enough people moan about them not being in TDM etc, I'm sure they will put them in the rotations. I heard one line from the recent video to suggest that they would be used for TDM so I think it's thrown some people confused (myself included)
To me that part in the video sounded like they were saying that faceoff won't be a completely new playlist because you'll be doing TDM and kill confirmed just 1v1 and 2v2, but who knows. Something along the lines of 4 teams of two would be more fun the just 2v2.
-MikePriester-

Yeah you could be right there! Ah well, hopefully we'll get them in full TDM.

No thank you. Personally I don't want more tiny maps in the regular rotation.

The more maps the better. I don't like the bigger maps.
Terrordactyl aka danarchy99 has taken over leadership of the PS3 clan.
Sorry I've been absent lately but real life had thrown a wrench into my works lately. He's a really great guy and fun to play with. He also knows his stuff
If you have any requests, just let him know about it.

So I take it that the PC version isn't ever getting MOD TOOLS?
That would be the only thing that sold me on that platform. But I guess since it's been this long that we wont be getting them.
Shame, because the mods for COD4/WAW/BLOPS are amazing.

I just watched an Infected match on Youtube that was recorded at the end of February. A guy found a spot that it was impossible to get to and got 90+ kills.
This made me wonder, didnt the infected guys have a throwing knife when the Infected mode first came out? And the guy who got all the kills had both a sniper rifle and a shotgun, did they change this as well? Now i've only seen one primary weapon and pistols as second.

I love how they work with their lighting engine, even though it isn't as advanced as other games, it looks better than them with the right art.
I've played a bunch of different variations of Infected in matchmaking recently and the infected always spawned with a Throwing Knife.
So do they have to patch the game for Infected to use the DLC maps or something?
I haven't seen the latest levels appear in rotation with the older DLC maps, and with a new map coming out it seems to take them ages to get it sorted.
Also this new Face Off mode sounds nice I guess, but are these new maps just for that mode? seems like such a waste of time for just one mode, and for me a lot of this DLC is becoming useless as what time I do play with friends goes towards Ground War or Infected.

There was a span of 2-3 days where there were modes where infected didn't have throwing knives and spots where you could get to and not die. It was basically MOABs over and over before they changed it.

Man, why do these awesome updates came late when I got no more interest on playing the game.
Because just when you think you're out, THEY PULL YOU BACK IN!

Having only gotten the game in February, I can't imagine just how much of a beast the Stryker was before it was buffed. Holy hell you can rack up the kills with this thing even now.
Slowly inching myself to a positive K/D, sitting at .92 right now. Sad I know compared to others here. I just like setting a personal goal of at least a 1.0 average and above for myself. It's been a fight though, coming into COD games months after they've been out can be brutal.

Yeah, now you always have throwing knife, but i wonder if was different in the very begining
That is what i imagined, thanks
Good that they changed this, because as you say, there were points on the map where it was pretty much impossible for the infected to reach without getting killed.constantstatic

community is healthy on the xbox the new title update patches matchmaking so it handles searching in partys like MW2 and blops its based off your party leaders location now. So hopefully this will fix some of the lag/sync issues.

It didn't help. The connections this last weekend were the worst I've experienced since November or December.
Or maybe I just suck. I still haven't figured out how defend myself against bullets coming from ghosts. I mean how do you stop someone who has killed you long before they even come around the corner into view?
Oasis looks amazing. No opinions on how it plays yet, but walking around it in private match, it seems relatively straightforward, layout reminds me of Ambush from CoD4.
The Face Off maps are small maps, but with a little more to the layout than just a box shape like Shipment, Rust, etc.

I really really do hope that the face off maps get put into normal rotation. Yeah, they are small maps but not there have been smaller maps in the past (shipment, rust) 2v2 is ok but it can be a bit stale if your up against a couple of campers.

Fixed and agreed. I wonder if some people are hosting private matches that you can get invited to.

Its still a stupid idea. The game's spawn system can't even handle maps the size Dome or Mission without there being a bunch of spawn kills every single match. Throwing even smaller maps into the mix would be idiotic.
-MikePriester-

Grammer police, p..lease.
At least correct the word that I missed.
I'll disagree with the broken spawn problem for smaller maps. Was never a 'problem' when playing Headquarters on Shipment, in fact, because it was so manic is was fun. The Face Off maps lack 'fun' with just 2 on 2, hell, I'd even play Groundwar on these maps if I could. Don't get me wrong, I'd like some bigger maps as well, but I just love the smaller ones.

Really enjoyed the small amount of 2v2 I played earlier on the free maps. Seems like it'd be even better with my buddy, the next time I can get him online.
It seemed infuriating for the other team though. Was kind of dominating.

Played some 1v1... and good god is that boring as hell. Half the time is spent searching for the other player, and if you get lucky and get behind them, it's a guaranteed kill. All my matches seem to go back and forth like that. I just played a game, that after 7 minutes, there were only 4 total kills (2-2). *yawn* And it's been like that for most of my 1v1 games.
2v2 is where it's at, IMO. Especially if you play with a buddy and coordinate some of your attacks.
