The Weekly Challenge with the launchers is what made the SMAW my go-to secondary. The 5000 XP is good too.
 
I am tempted, but i was a bit put off by the demo i downloaded. It just felt alien.

I had a friend round tonight to try it out, he's into MW3, but I think I may have swayed him.

The demo was a very poor example of the finished article, out of the 13 maps available, the demo one is the smallest and most linear.
But there are a few things that ring true with your statement....

It is a very hard game to get into initially, as everything you need has to be unlocked, even the sights.
This is compounded by the fact that everyone else in the lobby has unlocked everything they will ever need, usually, and will have the advantage.
Also, initially, you find the sway of the character very off-putting, as you are so used to aiming on rails, which is what the CoD series promotes, and the feeling in the other game is much more organic, if you like.
A lot harder to aim accurately to begin with, but hey, I am getting kills, so that has to tell you that even sucky players can achieve over time.

It's just the scope and size of it all that suits me.
I can literally go into a map, and spend the entire 20 mins of the round, wandering around, taking pot shots here and there, or minding my own business, and never get taken out, as the maps are so big.
Try doing that in MW3........

OK, that's enough hijacking, I am sorry, I will go peddle my lies elsewhere.

Please excuse me.

:trouble:👍
 
Hey, Christmas is only in a few days. I might have to start posting in a different thread :trouble:
 
Overpowered guns are irrelevant if you play HC. One or two hits and you get the kill. Levels all guns. 👍

I don't play hardcore that often. I really just don't see any guns being to overpowered. It comes down to who gets the first shot off, and can hold the aiming recticle on the enemy. Every now and then I think I should have won a gun fight, but it's not often enough to think some guns need to be changed. To me, the one gun that seems to be alot better then every other one is the G3C6. It's got power, speed, and hardly any recoil. It's really hard for me to go to any other gun after using it.

The 2 things about the guns that needs to be changed more then anything else, is the stupid quick sniping, and being able to shoot while you jump. Neither one makes any sense at all, and I don't know why any shooters even put jumping or quick sniping in them.

I get in a mood where I'm ready to snap my DS3 when I get in some lobby with a d-bag using a Striker with Range and jumps around.

Some guns are just quicker between clicking the aim button and looking down the sights. The smaller and lighter the gun, the quicker this timing is i'd imagine.

I've certainly seen an improvement in those kind of one-on-one situations since switching from the Type 95 to the ACR, especially when it comes to hip-firing.

I've fairly recently earned the gold ACR, so i might give the G3C6 a whirl.
 
I've finally found the FAD's practical use! Thermal sniping. It's actually better at long range than at mid range. Only 60 kills till gold, then I'm gonna use the ACR. I'm debating on whether to prestige again, as well.

Golded the FAD, now onto the ACR. Also got the 1000 kills emblem for the FAD, which has taken the place of my Attack Helicopter emblem. The golded FAD looks like a boss, not one part of it isn't gold. Worth the time :).

3 Questions

When can we expect a Map Pack?

And two when you prestige do i loose all the skins for my guns like in MW2 or when i unlock a gun again for instance like the AK can i put my gold skin back on again or do i need to re earn it ?

And how do i get these prestige tokens im a 2 time prestige in MW2?
 
Map Pack 1 due out January 24th for Xbox (so late Feb/early March for PS3/PC). So far Park is confirmed as a map.

If you keep the AK unlocked then you have to level it up again from the start. Everything's stock when you prestige.

You get a prestige token per game. E.g. if you're Prestige 5 in BlOps and Prestige 7 in MW2, you'd get 2 tokens. But I think they expired as it was a launch thing.

Also, got 20.8 seconds in Stay Sharp. 610th in the world :D
 
Played some drop zone last night, and it was full of quick snipers. They didn't try t all to win, they just ran around and did everything they could to make me hate this game.

Why would any game allow quick sniping in it? I have no idea why they just don't patch it out of the game, and why games keep letting it in. It really ruins the game for me. One guy wasn't even aiming at anyone. I watched one kill cam and he randomly pulled up and shot 3 times before he hit me. He was just running and randomly quick scoping in every direction and ended up hitting me. He got me a couple times, and everytime in the kill cam it was the same thing.

I used the MP7 with a silencer and Thermals today, it's fun :dopey:

Betcha I was the first person they'd ever seen using a Thermal FAD with Stability and going way over even every game :lol:.
 
I encountered something fishy. Today I decided I wanted to crank up my killstreak stat. It was sitting at 15 for a while, and I wanted to raise it a bit. So I put on Attack Helicopter, Pavelow, Osprey.

From the start I got the kills, jumped behind the laptop to use the Osprey, 29-0, when I was done shooting from the sky, still lying on the same spot as I started, but when the game finished, I look at my killstreak, 18. Wth? Why? Enlighten me please?
 
Killstreaks are kinda misleading, I think it's your gun streak. For instance, my highest killstreak is 32 but that didn't count the the kills I got from the MOAB.
 
Same with me. My highest in-game is 32 but my listed streak is about 20.

What's the difference between quick-scoping and someone spraying and praying from his SMG?

With the other weapons if your first bullet is on target you usually win the gunfight. With sniping, if you're first bullet is on target you usually don't need another.

Spraying and praying is believable, and when someone sprays if you take aim you will kill them. Spraying happens in real life, so I can deal with that. Quick scoping on the other hand is stupid. They don't even look down the scope, and Auto aim does all the work for them. There is just nothing realistic at all about it. It's just as dumb as people running around with kimbo jumping up in the air and shooting. It just takes completely away from the immersion when you see a kill cam and somebody shoots you without even looking through the scope, or some idiot goes jumping across the screen up and down with 2 guns drawn just going crazy.
 
Spraying and praying is sort of the point of SMG's, whereas QS isn't the point of Sniper rifles. Did get miffed by someone using a PP900M thing last night and seemingly shooting me from one end of a street on Resistance. Finished 23-5 though and killed them 6 times whilst they only got me 3.

Had a remote sentry, have I said how much I love them? :D

Think I'm going to drop SAM's from all my classes, I rarely find them effective compared to the 3-4 guaranteed kills from a Stealth bomber.

Also, MOAB with Support, I just need to get to 25 kills, don't I? Or is there a limit of deaths? Because in Domination, you can easily rack up that many kills (not that I play Domination, only HCTDM).
 

Since I don't play MW3 but I do drink Mountain Dew, I figured I would save my double XP codes for anyone that did.

These codea are first come first serve to anyone doing the Mountain Dew/Doritos Double XP for MW3.

Anyway, let's get to the codes...

FLNS4 LC36B
FV9YY 7NWYC
96YWC VYC3N
7744Y LYMWY
ABYHN M94WL

KSEV4 7LMNE
9LBMN Z7ALS
633LZ A77WK
ELERM CBAZY
7RAYK MLLCA
EECNE 4N7VM
NYWK3 LZLBV

Happy shooting. :)
 
Should we split those codes up guys? They've probably already been used by some random visitor though :lol:

Top 18 posters? (wow, I've got 126 posts in this thread :scared:) or maybe last 18 unique people to have posted here?

Or we can just do a 'take one, pass it on' and trust that people actually take one code :lol:.
 
I mean I have no idea how we would divvy it up.

I hate when someone has aircraft in the air at the end of a game and my Attack Helicopter doesn't get to go in. I should at least get credit for earning it. I also tried the FMG9's to see what everyone was in an uproar about, and they really aren't that great. I did better with the single gun than the akimbo, but I left them as my sidearms because they're more efficient than the SMAW.

We could just take one and trust others that they'll take one as well.

EDIT: I've tried like 6 codes and they were all invalid, but I got double XP as an Xmas gift from COD Elite so I'm, fine with none of those codes 👍
 
Just had a nosey around Elite for the first time since the beta, saw that there is a GTP clan. Can the leader invite me or something? Interested in getting together for some clan battles or whatever, once I learn all these maps :p
