For HC TDM, Type95 is great for medium to long distant. But going up against a SMG in very close distant, 80% of the time I loose...not sure if it is me, but the Type95 seems like a big AR on my screen and worse if I put on the ACOG. I dont run the Type95 for my runner class after that experience, but only for my stealth class. ScarL is a bit better IMHO in all three aspecs and you can do burst shots or go WOT on it when someone jumps out of a bush!

Don't use any kind of bust rifle at all for hardcore. They pretty much suck. I haven't tried HC on MW3 yet but usually there are guns that will get 1 hit kills. Find one that suits you.

It is great for HC...not much recoil and usually if my aim is quick enough, it nets me a AC130. it is just not great primary gun when a guy is around a corner, but got the hand gun as a secondary for that now :sly:.

The only one I cannot get used to is the M16. Find the sight a bit annoying.

I managed to get the AC130 once.. hated it. You only get 30 seconds with it and the reload times take ages...

Rotate your guns. Should only really be using the 105 if you have a guaranteed 3/4 enemies in one unsheltered spot, or it just wastes too much time imo. I tend to switch between 40 and 25 mostly, rarely using the 105.
 
Got the AC 130 earlier around my friends house playing on the map dome and i got like 15 kills with it, really effective on open maps like dome.

I recommend the first machine pistol with akimbo. I can't remember what it's called but you unlock it at the start. It's basically the best close combat gun apart from the shotguns and definitely the best secondary.

If your getting big kill streaks like the ones you are explaining then disregard the advice you have been given. Obviously it works amazing for you. :D

LOL, The 1st week, it was easy! Finding it harder now since not so many people are running around like chickens without a head :grumpy:. Plus it isnt as good now since Assisine is being used alot more and harder to spot them. Only had 12 of them, but I play alot of hours, so that doesnt mean much 👍. Yup, the FMG or something like that. It is ok, but I like the MP9 I think it is and Skorpian?? For sure any of the Machine Pistols are great, but havent tried the last one.

This round (prestiged! stupid me!) trying new perks and weapons to learn :), but I still got the stealth & sniper class to sneak around with for Assualt. Usually use it when I am nearing completion for Head Shots.

Yeah Team Deathmatch is quite easy because of all the inexperienced players. Saying that though I hardly never get high killstreaks when playing it though, players just come from everywhere. :odd: My kill to death ratio is good, but I never get enough points compared to the amount of effort I put in.
I prefer playing Sabotage. It's got mainly neutral players (pros always play S&D, noobs mainly go to FFA or TD) with the same skill as mine. I like it best because it demands great strategy while maintaining a uniform, controlled battle. It's hard to get the ball going, but when you do you can get huge killstreaks (10+). Each match lasts a maximum of 20 minutes plus then there is sudden death.
I have gotten massive amount of points per game, probably not so much as I would be getting playing S&D but I get the chance to get the challenges completed for my guns and perks far, far quicker.

I tried to play Sabotage & Domination, but never with a clan. The ramdom folks just have a different mind set than I do or I just dont get it :dunce:. S&D is fun especially if you are the last player trying to hunt down a player or two before the bomb is planted or if you have to plant the bomb.

Since I dont have a clan, the team based actions just drives me nuts since I get alot of loses playing them and I hate to loose! So without a clan, best action for me is HC TDM. Not sure if folks go into it fresh of FFA, but friendly fire is annoying. Each death from friendly fire counts as a death on your stats and must have 150 of them by now. I wish I could say I never killed a team member, but that would be a lie...especially yesterday!

Any one in this forum play Domination in HC? Naturally the 1st flag, A or C is the first one, or what I like to do is try to take B right away. If the fighting is extreme and were getting jacked, I head out to their original flag and try to capure that flag if possible....is this the wrong way of thinking? Sometimes, the ramdom are great from previous COD games, but not lately for me.
 
I hate Domination. :sick:
Call of Duty is fast paced enough as it is. Domination is just madness. I'm not sure if Headquarters is in MW3 or not, but I have not played it since CoD4. I remember it being a preferable twist from Domination. I like one main objective rather than multiple things to focus on.
 
It's in, but it's weird how IW kept it as 'Headquarters Pro' where Treyarch took off 'Pro' but it's still the same...

Yes it is and thanks for pointing the obvious out which I didn't get till now about Domination...didnt see that point of view till now 👍.

Guess i'll have a go of Sabotage if they have one in HC.
 
Lag much? Worse than MW2. Someone told me to turn off theater mode, and it helps quite a lot, but there is still some lag more than I usual.
 
I didn't notice much lag until last night and today. Not often, maybe one match in 10, it would just flip out and stutter for 20-30 seconds and everyone would have 1 bar. I don't know if somehow Elite is to blame, possibly because of all the information that's being sent to be stored. Other than that it's been relatively normal with the usual lag from people far away or in some 3rd world country with poor internet.

I also just discovered Team Defender. Man that mode is fun. I wish there was a mode similar to Mercenary or Ground War that cycled TDM, Kill Confirmed, and Team Defender. I don't think I'd play anything else. And I found the one map I can't stand: Mission. I don't know if I said it before, but it's far too confined. It's decent sized but almost all tight corridors. Even Favela in MW2 didn't feel as cramped as Mission does.

I love Team Defender! :D

What are you guys spending your prestige points on?
Click to expand...

I bought the basic package or whatever you call it, an extra custom class, and 2 hours of double XP! :D Do you always get 3 Prestige Points everytime you prestige?
 
No, I'd assume you prestiged in 2 previous CoD games which is why you have 3.

Oh that's where it's from? Ohhhhh ok. I'm 1st prestige CoD 4 and 10 prestige level 70 on MW2 :D That's a cool idea!
 
I had three and now have two. I received tokens for cod4, mw2 and black ops straight up. Spent one on double xp at level 30, wasn't worth it playing tdm. Currently level 42 with not a lot of time to play at all.

I have really only played tdm for now, I'm properly learning maps before going into snd and the likes.
 
I haven't used either of my 2 for previous CoDs yet. I'll probably use them once I'm ready to prestige the first time. I'm thinking an extra class and bringing over Assassin then I might use the other one on the titles and emblems if they're interesting. Depending on how long it takes I might just go to prestige 4 so I can have 2 extra classes, bring over 2 items, and spend 2 on whatever else.

I must have been so close to a lot of challenges because I went from nearly level 40 to level 42 in like 5 games.
 
Trying so hard to get a MOAB... I've gotten up to 15 kills and when I die, it's mostly because I need to resupply some ammo. Camping or 'Playing Defensively' is almost a must as well :dopey:
What I like about the Clans is that it's shows a list of Clan Mates that are on/offline similar to your Friend's list.

Mw2 has good connection IMO..but mw3 has the worst connection I have tried in any online game, even the menus lag. The connection bars dont mean anything,,I have 4bars most of the time but over half of my matches lag. Its very annoying because its a very good game :(
 
Tried out the Type 95 in HCTDM last night and liked it very much 👍

Think it will be my default weapon from now on.

Now i've got a bit more used to the maps, i'm really beginning to enjoy them. Although there's no natural sniper maps like Derail, Estate or wasteland in MW2. I believe i've racked up about 9 hours of play so far, but have yet to encounter the map Bootleg :odd:

I've also encountered Interchange and Underground only twice and Outpost just the once.
 
TankAss95 is spot on with Sabotage 👍. Massive kill and objective point to help level up!!

I recall why I didnt like Sabotage on MW2 though (NUKES!!!)....folks are busy going for Assualt killstreaks and the Mini Map is annoying as heck. Going to have to re-arrange some classes for this mode, but enjoyed it very much. Doesnt take a full mag to down someone which is nice.
 
Lag issues yesterday, but find it odd that some players didnt....Id be stuck and as soon as I can move, there is someone in front of me killing me (WTH~!).

My favourite game mode throughout the series. 👍 (since cod4)
I was disappointed in Black Ops because the games only lasted 10 mins but MW3 lasts 20 mins max. :)
BTW I've got all of the challenges for my SCAR apart from the head shots and amount of kills ones. Half a level away from getting gold camo.
