Modern warfare 3

[Dennisch]

Why don't you just find some people to play with? I play with guys who I have been playing games with since socom 2, and we've finally got so we just destroy the rooms we go in. We all pretty much have unspoken roles we play and all of us seem to compliment the other very well. I think we lost one game last night out of about 12 or so. I think our best win streak so far is 24 games, but there are a few guys who go by themselves and play hardcore, they have something like 50 game win streaks. It took us awhile to start winning but now we pretty much dominate. I really hated COD since after the first modern warfare, until this one. I have bought them all and this is the only one i've stuck with since 1, and it's because all of my old socom clan mates finally got 360s and gave up on the PS3s. It's a completely different game when you get a bunch of friends to play with that are not teenage kids screaming and acting like idiots all the time.

The friends I have in my list aren't actually the greatest team mates.
No.1 only gets killstreaks on certain maps, with a sniperrifle.
No.2 just goes run and gun with a UMP. Never shoots anything out of the sky.
No.3 does the same as no.2 but with a negative K/D ratio.

I'm the only one who has different classes, and actually use them. When the enemy has a UAV up for the third time and no one tries to shoot it out of the sky, my blindeye/assassin class with a stinger comes out and I will do it.

And just going alone, randomly into a game sucks. Just like Azuremen said.
When you are the only one going positive it's easy just to give up the game all together.

Why nerf akimbo movement? It's only logical that you move faster than if you were aiming. In reality you could even run fairly quickly with akimbo weapons since you're not taking the time to aim and you don't need to hold it steady. The accuracy on the other hand is stupidly high. I swear it only takes like 3 more bullets per gun, so 6 total, to drop someone compared to non-akimbo. I will agree on the reload, I don't know how it can take so little time to reload 2 weapons.

The fact is there needs to be some sort of penalty for using akimbo MPs over regular MPs (Other than the lack of down the sight aiming, which is near pointless for machine pistols anywhere as their range sucks).

Now they have nerfed the FMG9; not just the akimbo version, they also nerfed the FMG9 on it's own, which was a mistake I think; now noone in their right mind would ever use the singular version of that weapon as it already sucked to begin with. A better solution may have been for the 'Akimbo' class weapons to replace their primary weapons, so if they want an Akimbo Machine Pistol it's a primary, but if they want the singular it's a secondary. They did that with shotguns after MW2 and that worked, secondary weapons should never be so powerful, they should be last resort weapons or specialist equipment like a launcher.

I agree that they need nerfed in some way, but movement is not the issue. It's just straight up fact that you can run faster with a weapon in each hand just spraying and praying, rather than having two hands on a single weapon. Creating some artificial penalty is not the way to go when it's contrary to reality. I'm not saying the game is OMG teh realest, but the movement is fine. Large guns slow you down, having both hands on a gun slows you down...just look at the movement difference between the USP which is held with two hands and the P99 or FiveSeven which are held with one. Nerf the accuracy and range, those are the real issues.

Whilst you have swayed me on the movement issue, I do not believe that the weapon itself should have been nerfed; only the akimbo perk should have been affected as that is where the overpowered-ness lies. They have nerfed the power and accuracy of the FMG9s which makes it underpowered now as a singular weapon, and so like I said akimbo is still overpowered with the other machine pistols.

If you nerf decent secondaries it ruins the point of even having it like they did in black ops. If they're was a speed penalty for akimbo machine pistols and/or less ammo given I think it'd be enough to keep most people away. If all else fails kill them before they get in your face, I mean they are pretty close range and you can usually see them coming.

 

[Icarus25]

I can't attest to the nerfing of the singular weapon as the patch hasn't hit PS3 and I don't uses machine pistols much at all. I don't know how I feel about the situation though as akimbo was intended to be more powerful than a single weapon anyway. It seems like the drawbacks aren't severe enough, which would be remedied by dropping the accuracy significantly.

I finally got my first MOAB!! I sniped my self to it on Groundwar, Kill confirmed on Bakaara...

My plan worked perfectly moehahahahahaha. I'm so pleased with myself right now.

Not with the lag compensation and the the sort of map layouts we have

Though I think the lag compensation has been tweaked so now it's a lot more balanced, but the maps still suck.

And for proof.

Fake! You didn't knife the air and have a nerdgasm!

Oh, the nerdgasm was there alright. I'm 29 years old and I had to go tell my girlfriend I just got my first MOAB. Her reaction? You are such a nerd!

 

[Daniel]

Still pretty awesome considering you were sniping (and by that I mean. It being a zzzrGrizz ass with QuickDraw and Steady Aim )

 

[Dennisch]

Is there anyone outhere who has the Transfertitle?

And are there any titles or emblems for getting the MOAB?

 

[Daniel]

You only get the Toxic title for getting killed by a MOAB. You get a secret challenge done for calling in 2 MOABs though, but it's per prestige, so I'll probably stay on prestige 8 and get 5 MOABs on that one prestige and see if I get a challenge done for that.

No title or emblem for the secret challenge for 2 moabs? Mjeh!!

You talk about getting MOABS like it's easy. I'm 5th prestige, almost 6th, and I just got my first one.

I think this is my first time posting in this thread but, here we go. I've been playing a while now, I've got a k/d of 2.43, and now all of a sudden I can't kill people, I check the pre game lobby and it's full of k/d's 1.1 and lower, I get into the game and .5 k/d's destroy me. Everyone is like an aimbot now and shooting me before I come around corners. I'm not having fun anymore with the game because of this. My connection is 7mb broadband, so that hasn't changed. It's just annoying me at this point, I watch the killcams and sometimes it's like... Oh well he got me good.... Then others I'm apparently standing clearly out in the open and this guy has all day to kill me, and the half clip I had been shooting him with apparently hadn't been shot. Theater mode is turned off too.

Sorry rant over..... ^^ wall of text

Yes, that is one of the big problems with this game. Rumour has it they add a bit of latency to those with the fastest connections to even the playing field. But what it actually does is make it impossible for players with fast connections to be competitive because other players have a 0.5-1 second advantage. It's the main reason I stopped playing online.

 

[slims]

It's not a rumor. It's a well known fact that they have something called, "lag compensation". This site has a nice, quick explanation on how it works. http://callofduty-8-modernwarfare-3...n-penalizing-players-with-faster-connections/

There are many players complaining that the Modern Warfare 3 “Lag Compensation” system is actually penalizing gamers with faster internet connections and the problem seems to be worst on PS3.

The concept behind lag compensation is that they “compensate” players with faster connections to make it a more even playing field. By doing this nobody has an advantage for having a faster connection. Although this might appear to be a good idea in theory, it’s not at all an exact science.

The game evaluates each gamers ping in the room and takes the average. For instance if the average ping in the room is 60ms, but your personal ping is 20ms, you will then be slowed down so that you won’t have an advantage. Now the person with 120ms ping in the room is sped up to the level that he won’t have a disadvantage.

Having said that what is happening in MW3 is that anyone with a good connection lags 1 to 2 seconds behind individuals with not so good connections. This is clearly unjust to all the people that take online gameplay “seriously” and thus have a very good connection to enhance their online experience.

It was a problem back in November and it's still a problem now for a lot of players. The official petition on the MW3 forums to tweak it or remove it is almost 90 pages long.

Well, that explains a lot. They need to get rid of it, and fast.

Ah so i'm being punished for paying for a better connection. I played for a long time with a bad connection since the COD 4 days where my K/D was 0.7 something, and now they're trying to put me back there... oh well, I won't be paying for any dlc's for this game now. So I have a ping of 43ms and I can't get into a game lobby with any lower than 120ms anymore. So my connection is being made worse by 77ms. Not happy with this new information, but thanks for the heads up. I think I'll go back playing MW2 / COD4 untill it gets removed, it won't be .... but guess i'll be waiting. I went back playing cod 4 on FFA before MW3 and I was on a 29 win streek when I stopped, then I got MW3 and we've got to deal with this?!

The game isn't bad, it's the connection, oh well. I think activision is ignoring the fact that there's another way to even out everyones connection and no slowing down anyone, say it with hushed breath.... servers! and now activision sticks its fingers in its ears and repeats "la la la la la, i can't hear the community." I wish all devs were like PD!

Okay I now realise two rants in two posts, noone from activision will read this so wasted breath, and I know none of you guys appretiate me whinning... just my feelings at the mo

 

[smellyeti]

I am enjoying mw3. I have 2 days and 5 hours played so far, prestige 1 level 73 atm. This is the first cod game I've played since cod4. The game isn't perfect but what game is?

 

[Daniel]

...and now activision sticks its fingers in its ears and repeats "la la la la la, i can't hear the community." I wish all devs were like PD!

Actually, I think Treyarch was pretty involved with the community. Imagine that 3ARC and IW are both singers with Activision as their manager.
Treyarch sang a large variety of songs from death metal (Nuketown) to slow jams like Jungle and even folk music like Zombies.

IW on the other hand brought out a few songs at the start and decided that money was more important so created 3,000 remixes of the same songs. They also tried folk music but it was a rip off of 3ARC (Zombies).

Does that kinda make sense? 3ARC is creative, IW is a rip off (still fun) and Activision really likes money.

Who is on Call of duty elite?With MW3

 

[Caz]

Totally makes sense! I prefer 3arc cod over IW.

3arc you stole from combat training didnt you.

 

[slims]

I think I'll go back playing MW2

That's what I did. I don't own MW3. Had borrowed it from my cousin for a couple weeks. Since I returned it I never bothered to buy my own copy. I do like the game but it just has nothing that appeals to me. I figure I could as well hop back on MW2 and try and get to 10th prestige so that's what I'm doing. I started 8th prestige last week and I'm currently level 54.

It's on the Traps on Five Zombies as well. Shows up with the logo and IIIARC

Lag compensation sucks doesn't it?

 

[CrackedTrigger]

Nail on the head! Iw seem to care mostly about catching cheaters and banning them, while the game suffers on. Treyarch are more creative I agree, but let's not forget they created this laggy compensation thing which plagued blops! Treyarch were contributers to MW3, and I bet this part of online is down to them. MW2 didn't have the lag compensation, and noone gave out about their connection because it's down to their own download speed. Now loads give out because their good connection is being made bad, and I can't help but blame treyarch for this!

Picked up a MOAB finally.

The MP7 with Rapid Fire and a Silencer is just insane. Put on Specialist, pack the MP9 with extended for back up, and just go crazy.

And my best throwing knife kill to date...
