Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 |OT| Got 99 Problems, But Sales Ain't One.

New Content Drop Descriptions (Other Guy Just Posted Screenshots):

Drop 16: ‘Decommission’ (Multiplayer Map)

A graveyard of rotting [or add decommissioned here] ocean liners has not only given birth to a shantytown of locals, but a mid-sized Multiplayer Map populated in chokepoints; providing the perfect setting for shoreline-based combat.



Drop 17: ‘Off-shore’ (Multiplayer Map)

Trapped on an oil rig in the middle of the ocean, you have nowhere to go but directly at your enemies in this new Multiplayer map boasting helipads, cranes, and countless perches for snipers eager to pick off the competition. Did we mention to look down or else you may fall off?



Drop 18: ‘Vertigo’ (Special Ops Mission)

The luxurious “Oasis” hotel in Dubai hosts the latest Special Ops mission, in which players must use laser-guided RPG’s to dispatch waves of helicopters. Utilize rooftop advantage to defend from waves of enemies, before parachuting to a ground-level exfil point.
 
4th post in a row but it's been like a day and a half with no replies.

Call of Duty Elite has changed the way they do clan ops now. Different than solo ops.

The awards aren't based off percentile anymore.

It's just based off how many kills/captures now.

So pretty much even if we just enlist and do nothing, we apparently get bronze now which is awesome considering before half the time nobody would play and we'd get nothing, but now we'll get bronze minimum for not playing at all.

Then for example to get silver before, we'd have to be in the top 75% of how all clans performed, now we just need 75 captures if it's domination, but idk how many kills if it's team deathmatch. We'd have to see the first time there is a team deathmatch operation. Same with kill confirmed etc..


EDIT: Nevermind, it's still based off percentile, but when it shows results, it shows how many captures/kills were required to get that percentile, but apparently you can get bronze now with ZERO captures/kills now. So we can enlist and not participate and still lvl up slowly, because when i'm the only one participating, i have to do the full 3 hours very well to get silver by myself.

You can check it out yourself by going to one of the clan operation pages.
Most of you probably don't care though since you don't participate xP

Groovy if it works, my friends and I have a little clan but it isn't exactly great trying to get us all on at the same time for a clan op at some random hour in the day.
Here's hoping it works, lol.

Also, do they not show the global leader board for a clan op anymore?
My friend and I were wonder how far off we were with out captures but I can't see to find the info on the site anywhere?

I personally have never seen a global clan leaderboard. I've just seen where your clan finishes and how many captures/kills your clan had and a breakdown of how many captures/kills each person had. I wish they had a global leaderboard like they do in solo operations.

I also don't understand why they lock the leaderboard in solo operations while it's going on. They didn't do that in the beta :S

Strange, I swear there used to be a full leaderboard for a clan op and then you could see where you came, but maybe it is my memory playing tricks on me. I don't why they wouldn't let you at least see how far off each tier you were.

Well thats what they added now. For example last operation, 75 captures was silver and 90 captures was gold, but it doesn't say what you needed for champion.

Fucking pumped. My clan hits the big five oh tomorrow. The only thing that sucks is after getting 50, everyone has said they aren't really interested in playing too much anymore.

Started playing BlOps for the first time in a year and a half or do and while I was not in love with the maps then (they were okay), they blow MW3 outta the water.
Makes me wanna jump on MW2 (haven't been on in so long) and see if there is a lot of activity still.

When i play with my friends who don't have map packs (during the nite), there is only one lobby per game mode (search and destroy, demolition). Also, some gamemodes have nobody playing them, such as objective barebones pro, but this is again with no map packs on.

I have no idea what it is like with map packs on because i never played without my friends.

Ah gotcha. I don't have any of the map packs for MW2 or BlOps. Almost bought the BlOps packs last week but it still would have been almost $30 for all of them.
I'm kinda glad I didn't too. I started playing BlOps at like 7 PM or so and an still playing and it has only shown a couple hundred people playing the DLC playlist. So fuck that.
I figured less people would be on Mw2 though. Still gonna give it a shot later.

Yeah it's still fun for sure. I kept 3 barring as well btw due to the lack of people playing, similar to how MW3 prerelease was like. One lobby per gamemode pretty much means you're stuck with whoever is there, regardless of what country they are from lol.
 
Anyone else notice the game not picking up every match? I finally did my best kill streak ever and it doesn't show up at all in the barracks or on the leader board.

Been like that since November. If you check weekly/monthly leaderboards consistently, you'll notice your highest killstreaks aren't there, but all stats go to leaderboards like total kills etc... it's just killstreaks/avg kills/avg score/games played etc... have been pretty glitched.

I hadn't noticed till this morning when someone mentioned theirs wasn't showing up and I went to look over mine, but it picked up the one just before it.

Yeah it seems to pick and choose what it wants. Cause i'll get my first moab of the week sometimes and it'll say my killstreak is under 24, when it clearly isn't, but then after my 2nd moab, it'll register my killstreak and update the leaderboard. Idk if there is any way to get it to register after you played your game and see its not there. I think it's just too late and you have to get a killstreak that high again lol.

It's nice to see they never bothered fixing that. It's been that way since launch. As soon as I prestiged for the first time, my stats were never correct again.

The stats are pretty meaningless anyway. I have a friend who never prestiged, but his average kills is 6 because he quits a lot of games (win loss of like .30) and he also joins session in progress a lot, which also counts, yet his k/d and objective play (game mode leaderboards) is still solid.

Although, the support Infinity Ward/Sledgehammer has had for the leaderboards has been terrible. There isn't even a leaderboard for the Community Playlists yet either. They just don't care about leaderboards. All 1st places on each leaderboard is boosters/hackers as well.

Well that just sucks D:
I saved the video though to comfort myself. I went 20-0 in AON, which it saved and then I finally beat that 24-0 in TDM, which it completely ignored.

Apparently a new community custom game mode is being considered for the Community Playlist by IW, at least according to its creator. Info here:

http://mp1st.com/2012/07/15/new-exciting-modern-warfare-3-custom-game-mode-money-in-the-denk/

The gist of the mode is as follows:

- 20 Minute Time Limit
- Sabotage Rules (1 Bomb, 2 Bomb Sites)
- 2-Minute Shared Bomb Timer
- Bomb Carrier becomes Juggernaut
- 5 Pre-Made Classes (Assault, SMG, LMG, Shotgun, Sniper)
- Specialist Point Streak on each Class
- 2 Flashbangs, 1 Frag
- No Assault or Support Killstreaks
- No Respawn Delay
- Can be played from 2v2 up to 9v9
- Currently available in Private Matches Only
 
Servers were ASS the whole day yesterday.

My name (Hispanicguy) really gets everyone's attention when I'm in a lobby lol.

I was playing against a group of 6. All from NYC it seems. All of them (even this chick) talking shit and saying their best Hispanic jokes. Of course, I ignored them and just play. I placed 1st in each match but lost all of them except 1 or 2. Teammates were garbage. Other team was garbage as well.

In the end, they stopped talking shit and left the room. I left the room as well to find another lobby and luck was on my side since I happened to join their lobby, lol, but immediately, they left when they saw me. 6 people scared of one guy? My job was complete.

There is no greater satisfaction with this game than to hear these people talk shit and then you proceed to kick their ass.

SitRep is awesome. It's almost like a UAV. You spot where a trophy system is, and you know where they are. The group of 6 I played against used a few TS so it was easy for me to plan in my head how I will attack. Really need to get the pro version soon...

After resetting my stats twice already, I think I won't be prestiging anymore. There's not much I want to do in this game other than level up some shotguns/lmgs and maybe that "Bulletproof" title.

Bring on Black Ops 2. Maybe i'll actually purchase Elite once that comes out since I would enjoy doing some clan challenges with you guys.

Oh here's a good setup:

UMP, PP90, or MP7
That perk that gives you SMG ADS speed when you use an AR
That perk that gives you SMG movement speed when you ADS with an AR

Jesus Christ.

Hopefully Black Ops II doesn't have perks that effect gun stats.
 
Title Update 18 is now up for the 360:

http://community.callofduty.com/message/205746763#205746763
Support for Elite drops 16, 17, 18
Liberation Map - Added death trigger for rock glitch.
Black Box - Patched up wall glitch
Javelin (Weapon) - Reduce Javelin explosion radius by 20%.
Sit-Rep Pro - You can now see portable radars without being in their range.
Fix for player accuracy being miscalculated.
Fix for minute long kill cam duration with Reaper.
Fix for both team's receiving losses at the end of a round based gametype. (Demolition, CTF, Search & Destroy)

Pretty sure I played in the same lobby as you a few times yesterday. (Wide Eyed Doe)

Don't remember that name :( This was on the 360, right?

Hope all you Elite members are enjoying Terminal! I have to wait till tomorrow..booooooo lol.

Well thats what they added now. For example last operation, 75 captures was silver and 90 captures was gold, but it doesn't say what you needed for champion.

That isn't what that means, that is the percentage for all captures for all the clans that are counted, not the exact number of captures.

My friend and I jumped on and got 188 domination captures between us in the two'ish hours we got to play and got a silver out of it, but we have no idea how far off a gold we might have been because they don't seem to want to share global results anymore.
Unless I am missing where they are displayed, lol.

I don't know man. It's confusing as hell. It said "get 70 more captures for silver!" and "Get 90 more captures for gold!" and we had 0 captures lol. And it said 0 captures would get us bronze, but we still need at least 1 to get credit. Elite can be confusing at times :

I'll screenshot it for you later, but i gotta go now.
 
Btw, does anybody want to do a survival mode on Terminal with me at like 5pm ET?

Please have made it to at least around 30 or 35ish on a few other maps in survival mode in the past xP
 
I'd be down for Vertigo.

I already beat it this morning when it came out. I still need to beat all the Juggs after the land on veteran. I had to go to bed. If you're down to do that, then we can do that. I've killed 3/4 before lol.

Afterwards, if you want, we can play it one more time where i'm on regular and you're on veteran so you can get your achievements for beating it and beating it on veteran, but you won't get 3 stars in spec ops.

You still wanna play?

P.S. It'll be more like 5:10pm ET now. I still gotta eat haha.

Dropping in to say hello to the GAF CoD community! I love Call of Duty since MW2 and I'm super pumped for Black Ops II! I play MW3, MW2, and Black Ops currently.

Kinda surprised at the lack of love going on for CoD in general here, I figured 80,000 users there has to be a decent CoD community...

Okay. I can't do it around 5pm Wednesday. However, i'll be online right now and again later in the evening Wednesday so prob anytime after 7 is fine.


Btw i heard that theres only 3 juggs that spawn on solo, as opposed to the 4 on co-op, so idk if which is better yet, but can still try co-op with you if you still wanna. (At the end they spawn 2 at once at opposite ends, which is the only hard part) (Solo it's just one in the middle)

The game is fun but there's many things wrong with it. For example, take a look at this video I just recorded:

http://youtu.be/SSxVlIxolu8?hd=1

Cmon now, lol.

http://mp1st.com/2012/07/17/new-mod...re-package-glitch-being-looked-into-and-more/

In case you ran into the care package glitch on Terminal (if not you can see here), don’t fret, Mark Rubin is on top of it. He stated on Twitter regarding the glitch, Infinity Ward is “looking into it. Has nothing to do with Terminal.” We update this piece or publish a new one when the glitch is ironed out.

I also didn't know about the fake wall in Terminal:

http://youtu.be/yBHFP5NnwI8?hd=1

Model 1887 with range is nasty....I love it. That's all I've been using when I play Hardcore.

Theres a glitch where when somebody is in a recon drone, they are invincible to bullets.

You should know this glitch. Cmon now, lol.

Probably explains why I find myself alive even though I see other players attack me from afar sometimes when flying around in my Recon Drone.

Speaking of which, I hope Treyarch get rid of Quick Scoping, or at least try to curve its use again like they did in BO, and I hope there is a Recon Drone like killstreak, I'm generally not as good as my friends are but make up the extra points with the likes of the Recon Drone, lol.

Totally agree on quickscoping. Some deaths to it are bullshit lol, especially when i shoot first in a firefight and knew the enemy was there, yet he can quickscope me and kill me. And quickscoping and knifing are the only things that can kill a person in one shot while on specialist bonus lol. So dumb.

With the recon drone, i hate it lol. It's an automatic death when tagged because you're just on enemy radar forever and some killcams while tagged are terrible because the enemy just knows where i am. When using the recon drone for the expert title, i just called it in and pushed x to get out of it cause i'd rather be playing and getting kills rather than having our team be a man down, while i fly a toy helicopter.
 
Wassup fellas. Been following this thread for a long while now. I really enjoy the videos and people's tips/ load out advise. 360 user here with a bit of a problem. If you'll indulge an old timer and hear my tale of woe, perhaps you might have experienced this or have heard some way to resolve it.


I'm posting today because of some BS going down with the Elite content downloads on my system. After having downloaded the last drop (Terminal et al) I now get red text on the matchmaking screen stating that I am missing Elite content and DLC gameplay is disabled thus. So I use the new depot (press X to download all available) and sure enough I need Offshore. Downloaded it (again) and basically long story short, it won't show up.

I delete it off my HD and also try clearing cache. Delete other previously working maps (vortex, intersection) and queue up another download. Offshore now works but Intersection is missing. After repeating this process several times I always end up with one map missing!

I've searched the internetz for answers and found this happening to others; some resolving the problem with the process I tried (above), but no official word from support on what is happening or a way to resolve it. For me it's been two hours, for the last two days since the drop to no avail. With just one map missing, it will not allow me into any elite matchmaking playlists :( Guess I'll move on to another game until this is addressed or play the stock maps even though I've been an Elite member since about launch.

TL;DR after repeated attempts at DLing the new Elite Drop, I'll always have atleast one map missing keeping me from playing any new content over Live.

Also I fixed my DLC problem. I deleted the game save utility and reinstalled all DLC and it started working.

This is from like a month ago when last DLC came out haha.

My friend and a poster here were having this problem and this is how he fixed it. Don't know if it'll work for you, but worth a shot i guess.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try this tonight. I'll assume the game save utility is something I can find on the system hard drive. I'll post results either way. =)

For the first time ever I tried the mercenary playlist...and that's what I'll play from now on. Even with less players I'm getting way more kills, went from 1.28kd to 1.29kd in two days. Previously I was stuck at 1.28 for months.

Winning more games too, won 8 of my last 10 games.

Loving the game more than ever now.
 
Clan Challenges finally went live today.

No challenges to enlist into yet though haha.
Hopefully soon.

So far the only thing there is the image that was leaked a few months back.

Daily challenges are completing by awarding a certain accolade a certain amount of time.
Weekly challenges are completing by hitting a certain milestone such as X amount of kills/captures etc..


Our leader needs us to enlist in the challenges once they show up and both premium and nonpremium members can participate.

This should rank us up quicker than operations to get us to lvl 30 for 6 hours of double xp.

I don't remember the exact amount of xp for daily/weekly challenges, but i remember it's a significant amount from when i saw the leak a few months back, unless they have changed it since.
