Hey guys. I just got mw3 yesterday and I've gone up to level 25 or so already. I've been playing mw2 a lot with other members from GTP and would love to team up again. Add me or I'll do the same。thanks.

there is no strategy in sitting in a corner camping, you just sit there and wait. strategy (in FPS shooters) is knowing the maps and where the high traffic areas are and flanking people, not sitting in a corner waiting for people to run past

So your saying, that learning what the high traffic areas, and choke points of a map are, and then waiting with your back against a wall, for people to run through them is not a strategy?

How about on domination if 3 of us get A and then stay there and wait for the other team to try and take it, and the other 3 take B and do the same is camping and shouldn't be done?

What is a succesful strategy then, that doesn't involve staying in a key spot of the map and waiting on people to come through it, so that other members of your team can return a flag, hold a control point, or control a choke point of a map?

Give me the play by play of how you play a given game and actually try and win for your team. I know that the hardest games we have are when other teams camp several sections of the map that are high traffic areas and force us to change the way we play. The easiest is when we play people who run non stop and just seem like they have no gameplan at all.

Camping a random hallway may not take skill, but learning which areas of the map need to be controlled in order to win, and then camping them to prevent the other team from controlling them is how every FPS game is suppose to be played if you want to win.

I think all of this complaining nonsense is all an excuse. I've never met a camper before in this game so far, well, at least not the type you guys are describing. If there is a problem and the dude is racking up kills then there are alternative ways to deal with the situation. Nade the 🤬 out. Problem solved.
 
I have this on PS3. Finished the campaign on Veteran which I thought was easier than the other CoD games and I've played a bit of the MP. It seems better than MW2 but the maps are worse and quick scoping is back. :S

That's why camping isn't really an issue. Camping never racks up that many kills. Unless you are playing against a team that never learns from it's mistakes and keeps running down the same corridor and keeps getting killed by the same 'camper', in which case it's their playing style which needs questioning.

If the objective of the game is to 'kill as many enemy players as possible', as it is in TDM, then camping is fulfilling that objective.

Depends on what weapon you use too. Camping with a sniper rifle is using the weapon in the manor it was designed to be used. Endless running and jumping around the map quick-scoping isn't.
 
I have a 5-man.

With separate bedroom pods and a living area.

I use a Thermos, as they keep my tea warmer for longer.

And I find a cocoon sleeping bag the best for sub-zero temperatures.

I tend to lean the Barrett in the corner behind my Berghaus rucksack, so that people don't get immediately alarmed, should they undo the zip and walk in......

:irked:👍
 
I've noticed your set-up before Dave. Not stopped me from dying though. Over and over...

That play style is my favorite to go up against. I have my best games with opposing players seeking out revenge kills, especially if the opponents seek me out in waves, which allows me time to reload and reposition myself to a slightly different location. There is nothing better than racking up kill after kill of two or three players looking to get revenge. :dopey:

Why don't they just fix quick sniping. I really don't know why they keep putting it in shooters. All they would have to do is turn off the auto aim for 1 second everytime you bring up the scope with a sniper rifle. It's weird how every single console shooter lets quick sniping find it's way into the game.
 
TheCracker
I'd forgotten about the joys of emptying an entire clip into an enemy only for them to have a slightly better connection and knife you in the face. :rolleyes:

Liking the maps so far. Only scouted out a couple of them in Private Match. Underground and Village are epic. Dome is nice and compact.

This have happen way to much and I thought it was because of overload on servers, but connection is still CRAP after almost a week.. Something is very wrong because its even laggy when I host o_O

Need patch IW!


^^Thats because all the kids like it bevo ;) I find it funny when snipers call you noob because you dont QS, when the guys who QS abuse the auto aim... QS is like using a spas with unlimited range :rolleyes:

I remember how mad everyone got on the forums whenever they actually took quick sniping out of socom confrontation. I didn't even know what it was then, but it sounded good that it was gone just by the name of it. I know it drives me crazy when I watch a kill cam and some guy is running with a sniper rifle and kills me without even bringing the scope all the way up.
 
Had some decent games earlier 23-7 at Bakaraa (a's in the right position?), still lost by about 4 kills though (TDM).

Knifing is so much better, it now actually works.

Objective based games are completely different. Domination for example, holding the points is the objective, so camping is somewhat required. Of course you're not going to run around when kills mean nothing. There's no reason to camp in TDM unless you just plain suck.

You want to know what I do to win. I go where my team ISN'T. I pay constant attention to the mini-map and the death skulls on the screen. I know where I need to go to flank the opponent and get the kills. I keep moving around the map, switching direction when I need to so as not to become predictable. It's a very effective play style. And there is no one way a game is supposed to be played, so you can ditch that BS statement.

All you need to do is look at Accolades to see who does what. I get tons of Flanker, Undercover, Lifer and Nomad. Someone with an insane amount of Statuesque and Lockdown you can bet is either a camper or all they play is Domination. I don't care if you camp, you can be beaten. But to say it's a legit strategy is some of the lamest apologist crap to ever be said.

And then if they see your scope for like 1 second in the killcam or the final killcam, you get people saying "Hardscope! Hardscope!" and maybe even "noob!" But I can use a sniper and I can sort of quickscope and hardscope ;) but when I quickscope if I aim to the side I will swing the crosshairs and shoot when they go over him :)

But I don't do this as a primary method, I usually hardscope at long range I think, and pull out my secondary at close :)
 
Also, I see so many people in Black Ops still trying to QS... Treyarch took it out for 🤬's sake! There's countless times where there's two guys left on S&D and they try to quickscope each other instead of getting out their secondary!


Just realised that my emblem/title is fairly unique. Gotta throw a knife at someone while flashed/stunned :D
 
I should have gotten a fairly unique one, threw semtex 2 feet next to someone... and nothing happened.
 
Is there a CoD: Elite GTP Platoon? What's the name? We should all join! :D

Edit: THERE ISN'T A COWBOYS ELITE GROUP IN FOOTBALL TEAMS!!!!! AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH

It is a great strategy, and probably the most effective one for team dathmatch. Since the team I play with started all sticking together and staying in one spot to control that area we very rarely lose at team death match. I'm not saying it's the best way to play, but for us it works great. Find a house or alley and have one guy watch the length of the alley why the other 2 guys keep him from getting killed works great.

I'm not saying camping can't be beaten. but it's by far the most effective way to play the game. Really good players will find ways around it and win, but the majority of COD players just run around by theirselves and get killed. Or you hav ethe one guy that's good who goes 20 and 6 and the rest of his team gets crushed so he loses.

Either way this argument is useless. Camping is a good strategy no matter if you like it or not. It wins games, to go into any type of game with any kind of plan makes it a strategy. I should also add that I camp with my heartbeat monitor. I bet you really love that:)

Hold your trolling :lol:

I wouldn't mind joining a GTP team, but I still get killed more then in my MW2 days and the other way around when concerning my kill count.
Guess more practice is needed.
 
bevo, people like you are what make people like me use explosives. And to play like the hugest douche bag in the world. It doesn't take long to notice if a team is huddling in the same part of the map, and more so if they attempt to regroup there. Many times against that play style I can just start blindly lobbing grenades and get a kill. And then I just flash bang and storm in, profit.

Camping won't win games against a half decent team. What is winning you those games is the fact you are using teamwork and the other team likely is not. And even then, a single player with some idea of what he is doing can win...

Honestly, playing that hyper defensive, camping style will just limit your options, and ultimately produce an artificial skill ceiling you'll be stuck at.

HBS is just a crutch. A proper 5.1 is better than an HBS any day of the week as well. And flashbang, ninja, win every time. At least back in MW2.
 
Arggggh lag lag lag. Why does this game seem like it has a "slow car catch up". Some games you hit what you aim at. Some games you can't hit anyone.

This is exactly why I quit COD an prob be why I quit it again.

Love the game. Hate rubber bullets. LoL

What is this mumble jumble HBS?
 
All I'm saying is that working as a team and defending spots on the map, will win you alot more games then it will lose you. My K/D is bad and so is my W/L, but they are getting alot better since we started using teamwork. I haven't played a COD game for more then a few hours since MW2, and that was because I can't stand lone wolf games, that there is no teamwork needed. My favorite game off all time is socom 2. There was no way one person could win a game of socom. You had to work as a team and you had to be careful where you popped your head out or it would get shot off.

I did notice theat in your screen shot only 2 of you had more kills then deaths. We very, very rarely have games like that. The kills are spread throught our team and no one is going to have 15 deaths unless they are just messing around. 31-2 is great and all. but not every game is going to go like that. That's one lucky game. If you work as a team it is much more consistent than those big killstreak games that everyone gets every so often. If I go 5 and 5 and we win I consider that a good game. If I go 30-0 but the rest of my team has bad scores, I feel like I wasn't doing my job, by either calling out enemies, or watching someones back. And as far as a proper 5.1 goes, I have that covered, and it's not some junk logitech set, or a wanna be surround sound headset, but the heartbeat sensor still never hurts. It's nice to know that there are 3 guys coming even when the UAV isn't out.

All in all it comes down to how you like to play the game. I like to be slow and easy,and pick when I either shoot at someone or let them go. You like the in your face I have 30 kills style.
 
The thing is, you've never played with me. I consistently generate scores like that, and that wasn't a team before hand, just random crap players I got put with. When we put the all-star team (you know who you are) together, its basically a team of scores like that. And none of us just all work as a team controlling one area.

The Heartbeat sensor is a distraction and a waste of an attachment. A Silencer or tube is generally a better tool to have.

And in terms of team games, play Counter Strike, report back.
 
I've been trying to complete all of the attachment challenges for my SCAR. A word of advise: if you ever use the masterkey shotgun attachment you must use steady aim as a perk. The thing sucks. Finally managed to get 40 kills with the thing, though.
My K/D ratio was 1.9, now it's 1.4
Honestly, the shotgun is that bad.
 
First full night with my MW2 lot tonight. Went quite well. Won 10 games out of about 14, which isn't bad going, especially as one of the defeats was down to a hilarious host selection. Slowly learning the maps more and more.

MP9 - What an awesome gun. I pulled out a Sniper class for Downturn (I looked at the map prior to the start and it looked like I might be able to snipe there), in the end I didn't use it at all and just used the MP9. I'm now using it with a Shotgun in a room clearance/close combat combination class.

Only thing that continually irritated me is the inability to select a decent host. Needs sorting. Oh and Resistance, rubbish map, just pure rubbish.

150 kills to 100 deaths tonight, not bad.

The ultimate team game is either socom confrontation or americas army. Counter strike is pretty good, but nothing like those games. I would say you guys would probably destroy us at COD, but the way we win our games is by playing together, calling out the bad guys, and trying to hold a position. We played socom to long to be able to run around and accomplish anything. I really wish COD would put in a game mode like the demolition from socom, or just a few more non respawn game types. Respawn is fun and all, but being able to respawn takes away all of the feel of someone killing you. It makes the game so much more intense when if you die you might have to wait 5 minutes before you get a shot at revenge.

Anyway, lets just agree to disagree, and enjoy the game however makes us happy. I'll just be happy to survive a round with less then 10 deaths and you go on your 30 man killing sprees. As long as we are having fun, that's all that matters.
