I think IW patched the 95 and Akimbo FMGs because they were over powered. Was in 1.07 or 1.06 methinks.

They just need to sort out the P90 and UMP now and we'll be getting near some sort of parity across all classes.
 
I get mad because I don't do well for an hour, so I decide to play with a Barrett and a SMAW. Result? I go 27-13. :indiff: I also have touched the SCAR this prestige, which I didn't expect. I've only used the G36C, CM901, Barrett, and FAD. I think I'm only gonna focus on the ACR, AK, MK16 maybe, MP7, and M60 going forward. I'm in the 30's, level-wise.
 
I officially hate COD now.

Finally just broke into a rage - disk is in pieces and controller is on its last limb. Feel better though! No more Call of Intense Lag: Shotgun Failing-Assault Rifle Domanace 3! Back to GT5 for now.


Highly regret taking my chances with another Moneyvision game (especially after the downturn in COD with Modding Warfare 2) - wish I got BF3 instead now. Oh well, best dead rather than still alive.
 
Wow...some people are in desperate need of anger management sessions. The name-calling is complete lolz though.

I'll be taking a break from MW3 for a while, not because it's garbage but because I have a massive backlog of games thanks to being sans PS3 for a while after my trusty 80GB died. I'll finally be making use of the GT5 DLC as I've been waiting until the multi-user ability. I'll even be adding the MGS HD Collection this week as it's on sale for the lowest I've seen.

I might hop on if there's a bunch of people playing during the break though.
 
Guys what do you think is the best? The Type 95 or ACR? When I'm prestiging ill take a badass gun with me :lol:.

Oh, and respawning sucks in this game so bad.

Depends on what you prefer. Type 95 is a three-round burst where as the ACR is fully auto.

After completing up to the first prestige with the Type 95, i've mostly been using the ACR - with more success.

In MW3, even HC has become a total run-and-gun affair and the Type 95 just doesn't work well in close confines.
 
Type 95 has it's good and bad....hip fire was too easy, even if it looked like I was no where near killing the guy (WTH??). Great for non close combat and ammo last forever in HC. But, it has has failed me too many times when I turn a corner and there are 3 opposing players. I can get 1 to 2 of them, but the last guy always gets me. With the SCAR-L, I can easily get all 3 of them.

G38C seems nicer than the ACR at close range.

260 more head shots to go for 1k completion.....yeah, wasnt going to do it, but what the heck.

Wish there was a like button for this haha...

Hmmm......

That's why I can't play it the way I want to.

I don't seem to find anywhere to hide to snipe from, and of course, you need several places to hide to snipe from.

The only thing that will bring me back into MW3 will be a DLC package with some huge maps on it.

Which will only incite flaming in this thread......

excuse me.......

:irked:👍
 
In addition to my last question, why am I getting trounced at mid range while using the FAD? I'll hit every shot right on the target, but it doesn't always work. Sometimes they have time to turn around and get me.
 
I had a few games using the ACR. It's really fun to use, but the Type 95 is by far the best primary gun for me. My K/D literally doubles when I use the Type 95 rather than using a SCAR or ACR. 3 burst rifles do get rather boring though. :(
I'll have to try sniping again. I used to be good back in the days of CoD4.
 
So I've been hearing about lag issues on PSN with this? Any other problems... Still debating on picking it up as a gift for myself over the holidays, but still nervous about stupid perks and glitches/exploits.
 
The FAD's damage is something like a half bar, maybe a bit over if I remember. It's painfully low compared to the ACR and most other ARs I know that much. The increased fire rate just doesn't seem to be able to compensate for the low damage.
 
'Specially when it's got the Attachments Proficiency on it. It's the opposite of what happened with the CM901 M320 and the fire rate drops. My KDR's just over 1.5 with the ACR Kick/Suppressed and SCAR Impact/Suppressed. Hardly use anything else 👍

@Cody Don't bother getting the game till guns like the Type and FMGs have been nerfed a bit more. Or until everyone spamming the 🤬 out of the FMGs have quit the game (which will never happen :()
 
It's weird that people are talking about some guns being over powered. I haven't ran into that at all. I use the scar, G3C6 ?, and ACR, all with red dot and extended mags, and have no problem winning any gun fight I should. If I get the drop on someone they die, and if they get the drop on me I usually die. The guns all really seem fine to me except the shotguns. The range really needs to be shortened on them, or the spread made smaller.
It seems to me the key to this game is having your gun up as much as possible. As long as your not spraying bullets it seems like you will win no matter what gun your using.
 
@become It's G36C :)

Off topic but does anybody play Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare on PS3 in this thread? I just started playing it again and I'm in love with the game. Every match has been at least a 5.00 K/D ratio except for the one on shipment which was 3.

It's a very flawed game, I'd lie saying otherwise. The spawning is embarrassingly bad, even on larger maps. Perks are actually not so bad IMO except assassin that is overpowered.

But saying that I love the new reduced health, it seems to make the games feel a bit more crisp.
 
I honestly don't get all the hate for Assassin. It's not as bad as Stopping Power was. I see Assassin in maybe 2 people per game average where everyone and their mother used Stopping Power. If anything Cold-Blooded was more overpowered because it was Blind-Eye and Assassin in one (though EMP and CUAV still affected you) and you could still use a useful 1st tier perk. Maybe things are different across the pond, but Assassin is not the go-to second perk here in the States.

Azure: The lag can be an issue, though for the most part it's not much different than MW2 I don't think. The only real problem is when everything goes all haywire and everyone drops to 1 bar for 20 seconds or so, it's like dropping 29 of 30 frames. I haven't noticed it much recently though. I never really followed you around maps so I don't know your exact style, but the maps in 3 are fairly tight. Think Karachi with fewer open spaces and larger in size. There's also no real good sniper maps. Gone are the big open areas like Wasteland and Afgan with good line-of-sight. For me, it's sort of same old same old. I can still play my flanking stealthy style free of radars and air support, though with the tweaked gun damage I find myself dying more than I did in 2. I also miss my go-to TAR and there's nothing that feels like it, though the ACR is maybe better than it was in 2. I can't honestly say yes or no on a purchase. I know that I enjoy it, and as long as it doesn't turn into what MW2 turned into then I will likely keep enjoying it. Maybe give it a rent, feel it out. Better to drop 5 or 6 bucks on it and see what you think instead of dropping 40 or 50 or whatever you find it for and not liking it.

Overpowered guns are irrelevant if you play HC. One or two hits and you get the kill. Levels all guns. 👍

Occasionally, although not for a while now. Might take another look at it over Xmas. I presume the amount of hacking on it is now at a more manageable level? - I stopped playing it when 95% of lobbies were hacked.

Hmmm......

Fingers crossed. Bigger, open maps are well needed 👍
 
Hey guys I was wondering whether getting Black Ops would be worth it?

I've not been much of a FPS fan in the past but I'd like to try something, and since Black Ops is really cheap now (£15)..

Does anyone know if it still has a reasonably active MP userbase? Or have 99% of people dropped it for MW3/BF3?

Its still very active, around 200,000 online on the ps3 last night. All the call of duty's remain surprisingly active.
 
*sneax in*

Get yourself a copy of that other game I can't mention in here over Christmas, and come and see what it's all about. So much more to it.
I may just convert you for a few months.....

I am tempted, but i was a bit put off by the demo i downloaded. It just felt alien.

Have the hacked lobbies disappeared? The last time I played all one could get in was crap.

That other game is very good. I am enjoying it too much to even think of playing MW3 and the incredibly small maps.
 
That happened to me too. Which is surprising, because every one of my classes uses Sleight of Hand and Stalker, with either Hardline or Quickdraw. I'm level 46 now, and I've gotten a tad bit better. I'll be better when I ditch the FAD when I get gold on it, I'm getting close. The prestige gun challenges really help level up guns, the 10000 XP is pretty much two levels, even in the high 20's. I just don't understand the jump from 5000 XP per level to 89200 to get to level 31..
 
Yeah, Prestige sucks when you lose everything if you dont use the token to carry over a class. Dropped big time from HC TDM K/D. Was nearing 1.8 IIRC and cant get back there. Stuck at 1.56 for a long time.

Try the Daily/Weekly challanges if it is avaible. Some are fun if you get into it. Easy enough and helps with leving up too. Wouldnt try the Gun Challange till those are unlocked.
