    When you unlock it it identifies targets from further off, which sounds like fcuk all, but if someone is in a building the name will appear over there head. It's a bit of a wall hack, but Assassin Pro counters it.

    Really like that all guns can be gold now :D and the way you make them gold (lvl. 31) Was vey close with the MP5 but it was just not my gun, changed to the Ump 45 and it is much better :)

    for the love of christ for the next COD can they include a "mute all" button in the lobby, am sick of being deafened by retards blaring music into their mics or screeching at each other. "mute everyone who isnt an utter fcukwit"

    Bloc was a great map, would love to see that back.

    I always forget about Bloc despite it being a great SnD and Sabo map. If they redesigned it in a way to utilise the swimming pool area in some way it'd be fantastic. Feels like such a waste that area.


  • Registered Users Posts: 456 ✭✭Bonesy.


    What level is everyone atm? Got it last night (28 hours ago kinda last night) but still on level 31 :( (8 hours play time)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,127 ✭✭✭✭Leeg17


    Level 63 around 13 hours play time, roughly.

    In two minds as to whether to max out to 10th prestige or not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭Battleflag


    Havent played myself since Tuesday night, can't wait to sit down in front of the tv later on. Feck the pub, ive got cans!

    I taught people were saying that in MW3 if you dashboard you will get your rank reset, is this true?

    Whats up with countdown and bog. Perfectly sized level maps with no places to camp. My perfect maps. In my opinion bloc is a terrible map. Nothing but snipers campers protected by claymores in the buildings. Boring


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,742 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    People saying put in bloc is hilarious. Awful map for any sort of objective mode.

    Ah not much.. if you're a fan of a map that is renowned by many who played COD4 in it's entirety to be one of the most severe spawn trapping maps in COD and then adding new elements such as chopper gunners, AC130's etc which COD4 didn't have... oh I'm sure it'll be great craic.

    Countdown? I never said nowt about Countdown :confused:

    Bloc I mainly ran around with an SMG or Shotgun be it with Bomb Squad or without it and had very little trouble. Easy map to play.

    Level 31 is the maximumim level, level 30-31 requires around 30k exp (while 1-30 takes around 60k), giving you gold camo.

    Does anyone have any idea what you need to do to unlock the Vladimir Markarov emblem?

    so does that mean u need 600 kills to get to level 31, god is it worth all just to get gold camo, like waht does that do for u, so i think it is time to move on to a new gun, but i love the M4, which gun would people reccomend

    Personally i think the PP90M1 is ****ing insane just get rapid fire on it and its just devastating ha i dont understand why people dont use it more

    Cause it looks like a cheap soviet POS with a bit of piping for a magazine?

    I'd recommend the ksg...if your into self harm.... seriously though its worht it in the end. Get the range prof , add a grip and stead aim / OR just get all the way to level 28 and unlock the damage prof. Lovely gun then. Went from average of 10 kills to mid teens deaths every match while trying to get to level 26 and as soon (literally the very next game when I unlocked the range prof) I went 19 -2 . Its a shame the gun needs 2 solid days of work to make it usable but tis great once you max it out.

    The g36 is also really nice. Working off that right now and seems to be a great all rounder. Couple it with SOH pro for near instant reloads. Helps that it looks utter badass too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,742 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    ARs are a tad over-powered in this, particularly Type 95. Best smg imo is MP5 red dot with range. ACR/FAD/G36 are all good auto ARs too.

    Id disagree, the ARs are powerful but they are at a distinct mobility disadvantage with nearly every map being CQC it leaves SMGs overall overpowered.

    I think its too easy for ARs to lock down areas of the map, given the lack of range on all of the smgs. Depends on the game mode I guess but from the competitive matches I've played there have definitely been issues with OP ARs.
    Surprised at the lack of people using the Type 95 in pubs, will change for the worse soon I'm guessing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,559 ✭✭✭refusetolose


    question lads

    in domination in mw2 if you waited for an announcement like "losing B" or whatever before capping a flag ,then it wouldnt be announced that you were capping the flag if you started capping it within a few seconds of the announcement

    example

    1: announcement : losing b!
    2: you start capping c within a few seconds of announcement
    3: no anouncement that your capping c

    handy tactic :)

    just want to know if its the same in mw3?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,742 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    No idea but surely the other team would just look at the flag icons and see that C is flashing :confused:

    so they flash in mw3?

    my strategy is gone so :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,742 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    They've flashed in all cods

    The A flag icon flashes lol...its green and flashing then it turns orange between 3:00-3:10

    Clearer example:
    2:20 onwards look at A

    It flashes while they are taking it before it gets capped..look at my 2nd example

    ok i see it but its not that noticeable really is it?

    i never noticed it in game after 15 solid days of playing ,still cant see it :)

    maybe pc version dont flash?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,742 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    Could well be different on PC, never played it. You'd definitely have noticed it on console. The commentarys like 'you're losing C' are generally behind on console too in hectic matches.

    yeah they mustn't be flashing on the pc version,i would definitely have noticed

    just hope mw3 is the same on pc :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 352 ✭✭Egyptian


    I've noticed the stats go a littlefunny after prestiging. Your average kills are way off, lol. It takes your Overall Kills and divides them by games played, not your current prestiges kills.

    Average Kills : 3568 lmfao!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 248 ✭✭DanTheMan91


    After a few days of playing I still have mixed impressions. I think its better than Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops, but it is still not as good as Cod 4 or World at War.

    The maps are too small, in Domination you are constantly losing flags, this is because the flags are too close. This also affects the spawns, yesterday I was killed twice in the same killcam, this never happened me once in Black Ops.

    The shotguns really need a buff, I think anyone that uses shotguns will agree with me.

    I really like kill confirmed, I find myself playing that more than Domination.

    The mp5 is probably my favorite gun in the game so far, but I'm only level 55. A few people are saying that the Type 95 is over powered, but I never seem to do too well with it.

    I don't know about all the shotguns but the Stryker and the aa12 are grand I think. People don't expect to get rushed by somebody with a shotgun :) he he

    I like the type 95 but it is def better at long distances. I go with the mp7 as my close quarters with it.

    Some of the spawns are crap but I thought mw2s were worse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭zero19


    The AA12 works well for me, obviously you need to know when to switch to your secondary for longer ranges. I like using akimbo MP9s with steady aim. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 67 ✭✭Mr. Dookles


    i read somewhere that the spas got patched and it now works properly with proficiencies is that true or does anyone know? and personally im finding the ARs to be pretty bad in this game i much prefer SMGs fav being the pp90m1

    The m4 and the cm901 seem to work best for me. Haven't used much else. Haven't got the acr yet but that seems decent when I pick it up. There seems to be downsides to most weapons tho, which I think makes it more interesting. Using most types of weapons my self bar the smokers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,970 ✭✭✭mufcboy1999


    when people flash there game or whatever its called, is that when they have the different color d Pad letters next to there name?

    also any tips from ranking your gun up from 30 to 31 to get them gold? iv the type 95, m4 and ump5 all on level 30 struggling to get to 31...
