Was shocked to see CoD DLC actually going on fucking sale. But I have only seen news of 360 DLC going on sale. Wonder if the PS3 players will get any love. Could get me back into the game a bit.

Also, what are "Face Off" maps?

Small maps where you can play 1 on 1, 2 on 2, or 3 on 3. Face Off is its own mode and these maps don't appear in other lists.

After I saw what MW3 has become I've decided that it's the last COD, and last FPS I'll be buying. It's just going downhill really, really quickly. Lag compensation was a terrible idea, worst idea I can think of was to give those with a worse connection, a much greater advantage. Although it may not be fair to them because of their lower speed internet, it's also not fair to us who pay more for our internet. Also it's been what, 8 months and the spawning is still terrible? I was in one game where before even minutes passed I got spawn killed 6 times by the same person. I would move 3 feet and get shot in the back by him.

I welcome Nuketown back with open arms. I enjoyed that map a lot more than some of these MW3 maps.

As a riot shield player, I hope they fix the shield (if they bring it back). Tired of getting knifed through it lol. And even though it makes no difference, give me the opportunity to get a gold riot shield!

Hardcore is the way to play. Much more fun than core IMO.

MW3 is the worst COD I've played, yet, I can't stop playing it. I have Black Ops as well so I take turns between the 2.

Latency/Lag compensation will always be part of the COD series because they are still dependent on the Quake engine (id3) and rewind time. MW3 just did it poorly.
I couldn't agree more on the spawn systems -- the reason I don't play Domination. But, they are doing it to create parity. Imagine the original spawn system (CODs 2&4) in the close quarter maps of MW3 -- add a 2 second spawn delay for some competitive play. Activision Blizzard doesn't believe in niche marketing for hardcore gamers. They are seeking the lowest common denominator. Judging by sales & pre-orders, they succeeded.

As for Blops2: I too hope they bring back Firing Range & Summit, but I'm not holding my breath.
I just wish Treyarch would bring back War.

Where do you buy Collection 3? Is it only available to Elite subscribers?

And when are they going to finish releasing Spec Ops missions?

Nuketown is such a frustrating but extremely entertaining map. I thought I would hate after reading complaints regarding it before I got Black Ops. Though my experience with it has been on the Wii and PC. So aiming wasn't an issue for me in either case.

Do any of you guys know how to set the game mode up in split screen where its a FFA but you have a pistol with a tac knife and as you kill people you get scavanger and a whole specialist killstreak going? Idk the name, and I really would like to play it with friends.

On PC we don't have to deal with Nuketown getting voted every few rounds. It was a nice break from the rotation.

Sounds like you're describing All or Nothing.

I don't mind small maps at all, nuke town is alright now and then, it's the frequency in map rotations that annoys me, of all the maps possible nuketown shouldn't come up almost everytime.

Hmm, well I guess some of my favorite maps could be considered small, like Salvage and Trailer Park. Part of my problem with these games is that most maps just don't work with every game mode. Especially when DLC comes out and they're shoved into every playlist.

My group always played HQ which does a pretty okay job of hiding map flaws. Now we play a bit of Domination and the flag placement in some maps like Sub Base, Radiation, Havana, Hazard, Drive-In etc. make them pretty annoying.

It feels like maps need to be a certain size to fit Domination flags and when you put them on a linear CTF/Sabotage/War map or an asymmetrical SnD/Demolition map or a tiny FFA map it's just awful.

I think maybe Treyarch's MP team just got War and Domination mixed up despite the similarity; what works as a War layout is just kind of shit for a Domination one.

Domination on Nuketown. Control B and you pretty much win...of course most CoD players can not grasp that concept.

Summit is similar if you get the high ground spawn. You can end the game basically within 30 seconds.

I hate Domination no matter how the map is designed. I really wish they'd move it to the objectives playlist in the Elite section.

They are just regular emblems that are only obtainable from the clan unlock system. Clan hits a certain level, new emblems unlock.
Some look pretty cool, like the jet that I am currently using or the bull.

In game right? or only on the elite website?

Had some good games with Strider tonight...even though we had terrible, terrible teammates most of the time. Playing Domination on Oasis is so damn annoying with these people.

Those clan emblems DO look cool.

We gotta hit up 2v2 Face Off one of these days.

I don't see them either, it probably hasn't unlocked for everyone still. It really should be unlocked for us though considering how high level our clan is.

I think our leader needs to activate them, just like leaders activate double xp after we earn it.

The people that are getting emblems just aren't in the GAF clan, but are in another clan.

I liked 6 a lot but I saw a ton of people using it do I switched away from it. Normally I am not someone to stop doing something just because others are doing the same thing, but the urge to pick a different one was strong in me.

I haven't touched this game since almost December, but I'm kind of in the mood to jump back in online. How is the game these days? I see quite a few complaints about lag compensation and spawning, so I imagine not much has been done to alleviate that? (That was the original reason why I stopped playing)

Depends really. I pull host of a lot of games and have no issue with lag compensation at all. In my mind it's perfect right now and the only time it was really bad was just after release date November and was fixed almost instantly. I've never understood the complaints, though I'm sure if i've played on a different connection it could become very frustrating.

Regarding spawning, there was a HUGE patch fixing demolition spawns back in February which completely changed how the game mode worked. Also, they've supposedly patched revenge spawns, yet i can't comment on that, since i'm mostly a demolition player.
