    Matchmaking.... FFS!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 321 ✭✭Socialist_Pig


    is there a glitch with flash/stun grenades..the amount of times I get killed after using them is unreal...the kill cams show them being barely flashed but they werent using cover or the blast shield perk?

    once in a blue moon is fine,i can put that down to luck on their part but it seems to happen too regularly.

    as an add on do you eventualy get pro perks from using the specialist killstreaks i.e i dont have recon fitted on any of my classes but get it for my first streak with specialist.will I eventually get recon pro that way?just curious more than anything

    Is anyone else's ping gone to crap since christmas on xbox live?

    Nothing's changed in my set up. My speed tests are consistently as high as they ever were. I can stream netflix with no pain but the bastard ping time has gone from consistent 50 to 100-150.

    If this continues I'm type95ing in protest.

    Not sure about getting recon pro that way but I agree with you on the other matter. sometimes I flash/stun people without having the desired effect... when they kill me I can see in the killcam that he killed me while being stun, because of the autoaim the bullets were following me while I was moving sideways... I am pretty sure that he wouldnt have killed me if I hadnt stunned him!

    I think they should disable autoaim when stunned. Bullets will even hit me when I am behind walls...all they have to do is shoot blindly and let autoaim do its work

    on the consoles?yep there is.

    on blops aim at a point were somebody is going to come and when they appear your reticule will move tracking them. havent noticed it on mw3 because i dont bother about sh1t like that anymore.besides you cant auto aim on some cu*t sitting in a corner:pac:


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


    Cod has aim assist (and lots of it), auto aim I believe is like GTA3/vice city/SA, where it locks on to the target. Though you could argue that single player cod pretty much has that.

    aim assist/auto aim..basicaly it's not player controlled aiming.

    Use to play all my fps's on the pc and the level of skill is 10 times what you see on console.

    only play on console because of all my mates playing them.

    I think this pc is the last gaming one I build..cant afford to keep up anymore:o


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


    There are console games without aim assist that take 'skill'. Cod has little gun skill, but a lot of tactical/reactionary skills.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,619 ✭✭✭LaVail


    So that patch yesterday that was supposed to nerf the akimbo FMG9's has actually buffed them?

    It really isn't. The skill 'cap' is greater and i'd agree that competitively the PC community is miles ahead of console... but casual gaming on PC, they're the same... its hilarious how bad players are on MW3 PC, easily as low as they are on console and far worse for camping !

    This should go in the MW2 megabitch thread but can't find it.

    Played MW2 over the weekend 'cos one of the guys "accidentally broke" his MW3 disc.
    Playing search which was my fav gametype in MW2. Really really enjoyed it but could only play 3 games.
    Lobby one : winning got hacked had to quit
    Lobby two: Won first game and winning second when got hacked and had to quit

    Hope there's a special place reserved in hell for these guys.

    Define Hacked.

    Define Hacked.


    You know when your playing and all these coloured numbers scroll up (generally) from the bottom left hand side of the screen. It happened loads of times since the attacks late last year. Some of my mates have had their stats reset when it happened. I've always ejected the disc and it's never actually affected me but obviously annoying.

    I think he's neglected the point that those % increases are on a single gun. When dual wielded, those % increases should double. Either way it's another notch on the ever-expanding belt of f**kups in this game.

    That doesn't hack dude.

    That's just some kids messing about on it.

    They've been on WaW for a while.

    Ok thanks I was told it did. Of course if it happens and I lose seven prestiges and all my unlocks...... I will find you :)

    Not gonna lie... I personally think akimbo skorpions are much better than FMG's.

    ran into a full clan in search yesterday running around with akimbo fmgs. I've never been so pissed off in my entire life.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,222 ✭✭✭✭Will I Amnt


    Played this for 3 days when I first got it and was disgusted at how bad and broken it was so I put it at the bottom of the pile and hoped the problems would be ironed out.

    Stuck it on today over 2 months later and it's still as awful as I remember it.
    Never again will I buy another cod title,terrible game.

    Hate the multiplayer, don't like the direction IW have gone with mw2 and 3. They just moved away from gun v gun in cod4 to killstreaks.

    Sh*t game made for noobs imo with the worst maps Iv ever seen in any cod, at least in mw2 the maps were class but honestly the maps are Shockin!

    But it's ruined by killstreaks and support etc I mean if you die you die that's it there rewarding people for dyin, just stupid, barebones Is cat in it too.

    Elite is a load of balls, Iv nothing good to say about the multiplayer it's like a carbon copy remake of mw2.

    They also ruined the teatre mode and crippled us by taking out the dolphin dive!

    No, it's not. In fact, it's nothing like MW2 which is a far superior game to MW3.

    Mw2 was a pile sh*t, it was the most hectic cod ever to released.

    You had 3 or 4 things in the air at once the whole time, no gun v gun at all just killstreaks, campers and hackers was a shocking game.

    The maps were class I give it that but overall a really unenjoyable game 2 play.

    Mw3 is less hectic but just a sh*t game from start to finish, it's basically mw2 with bad maps, full of camping and over the top bullsh*t.

    At least black ops was original and creative, it took IW 2 years to give us a joke of a game with that pathetic elite service.

    IW are gone to the dogs.

    IMO I also think there is very little skill to cod these days too, it's a noob franchise modern warfare my hole, cod4 was the only 1 that was actually realistic.

    Thats a very interesting point..when both guns are firing then that would = a 96% increase in the fire rate of an MP9 :eek:

    Glad they are supposed to be implementing a fix tonight but if IW's track record of fixing glitches is anything to go by then they are bound to fk something else up.

    Ah Ye but in the likes of cod4 you had to earn your kills most of the time, in mw2 and 3 it's just too dependable on killstreaks and the fact you can stack stuff after you die mw3 is a joke your gettin rewarded for dying.

    IMO obviously.

    the setting is cool, downtown NY, nice one, but jesus, half the map is undergound the rest is in office blocks, air support is POINTLESS on it, there's hardly any decent sightlines, just sh1t everywhere that gets in your war, ugh, worst mw3 map by far. of the current mw3 maps the ones I like are mission, seatown occasionally, dome, arkaden and village isnt bad, dont like the far side withe caves though. Interchange is a love/hate map, downturn is godawful, carbon is meh, the french ones are ok but again air support is mostly pointless, escpecially controllable ones, I got a bunch of reapers playing with boards lads earlier and got fcuk all kills with them as hardly any spots on the map are open


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,909 ✭✭✭greenman09


    Easily the worst.

    Its just a clusterfook i think, too much **** lying about the map.

    I just really hate the colour palette they used for most of the maps, its all very doom and gloom... people said the same thing about black ops... imo, MW3 makes BLOPS look like bloody disneyworld fs !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    yeah Arkaden should be more like Terminal, its the most depressing shopping centre ever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 564 ✭✭✭ugglasdav


    IW have hot fixed the the secondary sub machine guns today, tried out the FMG9's and the rate of fire on them has been greatly reduced, they actually seem better because the recoil on them is very little and hitting people from a far distance is alot easier, even with the rate of fire being reduced they still kill very fast

    from the start of the match too, always makes me laugh.

    turds.

    This game should be called MWFMG9's.

    People sitting in corners/crouch walking around with them. Fcuking pathetic.

    Don't patch them, just take them out of the game altogether.

    I just cant fathom the glaring issues that this game has and how IW didnt spot and correct these in the development cycle. Second chance, dead mans hand, the shotguns power, akimbo fmgs ,type 95 and most of all .... the map design. These arent hard to find flaws , they dont require l33t hacking skills or crazy glitching talents, they are hard coded in the game and part of the design. Its overwhelming that these are the main issues in mw3 from nearly ever single person who has picked it up yet an entire team of developers couldnt see these?

    I stopped playing cold turkey a month ago when I got Skyrim and cleared it a week ago, there have been no games of note to play since and I simply wont play mw3 because of all these flaws. I wont be a a day one purchaser of the next COD tbh I will be far far more hesitant to pick it up. It seems like new IW "light" simply lacks the talent that the original IW crew had Perhaps the the people who left with West and Zampalla left because they were the most involved , passionate and dedicated and now maybe thats why such glaring mistakes were made because the same passion , dedication and talent has abandoned the series.

    If someone made me choose right now between the unknown respawn studios game and the next COD I would honestly have to say I would bet on respawn.... the people make the game - both literally and figuratively.

    Activision are going to find themselves in a weird position where most new IPs face the task of trying to convince consumers to buy into the product, world and experience simply because its an unknown .... they will be in a position of having to convince previous advocates that the mistakes and downfalls have been fixed and that any new game is a return to form and that what they are buying into IS something familiar for the right reasons and not the wrong ones.

    I'll be buying the next COD day one so long as Treyarch are making it !

    Not sure if this as been covered before am sure it has, the biggest flaw has to be the fact that you can score up to 4000 with kill confirmed with no kills, just by collecting your own tags. Boosting but in a legal sense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,721 ✭✭✭Kells...


    Huh.
    Ok then you just go lose the game while I run around and win for you by picking up your tags.
