[CoD MW3] - Megabitch Thread

The maps are really annoying, no good lines of sight anywhere. It seems like predator missiles have too little time in the air, and with all the buildings everyhwere the agm and ac130 are pretty useless.

Back to mw2 for a bit to do some spas-ing about!

CORaven

Bah. They have figured out how to put button symbols (A, B, X, Y, LT, RT) into their Clan tag. Now every 12 year old attention wh*** in a 10 mile radius has it on and it is a pain to look at in the killfeed.

Lads that snipe down the streets on Bakarra is getting old already, not too mention the amount of camping in general, particularly by Irish players im ashamed to say.

Will I Amnt

Only picked it up yesterday and have to say the multiplayer is an absolute mess at the moment.
Lag is just pot luck,the connection bars don't seem to mean anything and the amount of lads that just skidded off without moving their legs when I start shooting at them........

It also doesn't have the modern warfare feel to it,can't quite put my finger on what it is,maybe its the maps,they don't seem to have many busy areas and everyone seems to be spread out all over the place.

Spawning is probably the biggest problem at the minute.
Kill someone,run off,they spawn behind you,you die.
So many times on killcam you see yourself killing the lad that's just killed you.

Bring on the patches and hurry the **** up with them.
I've given up on Battlefield until that gets patched for PS3.......and now this.

Have they any patches in the works ?? I know people defended them last time because of the whole IW split up.. but surely they should have had some patches out by now ?

It was understandable they didn't patch MW2(I think they did eventually patch the rock glitch eventually after MW3 was announced) but this is a different story,they really should be on top of every issue as soon as they can.

Are there some patch notes ?

Won't get to play the game again till next week anywho, just hopefully its a bit more stable by then (Its probably just my connection at home, keep getting big 2/3 sec lag spikes). And hopefully they buff the shotguns and whatever else needs fixed.

Simple solution to camping, get rid of K/D in the leaderboards. That's all you hear a lot of players go on about. If this wasn't recorded there wouldn't be as much lying in bushes with AA-12's. COD has become so mainstream and competitive that people are stressing over their stats. Even if there was a game mode where no stats are recorded, then I bet you'll have less camping.

The whole stats obsession with stats in cod is crazy, people whinging over their K/D's and W/L's is ridiculous. Removing it from leaderboards won't really stop the problem tho, the only way people will stop caring so much over their stats is if there are none... and even then you would still get campers.

Should just have caps and defends/ plants and defuses as well as the score.

Yep, the focus on K/D would then turn into team focus.

sick of being thrown into almost over games, why cant they make it that if the next game you're being thrown into is gone over the mdiway point you just skip to the next new game? I'd rather wait in the finding game lobby and start afresh and get a feel for the match instead of being lobbed into a domination game where my team is losiing 100-180 and there's a ton of air support up, you cant get into those games as you have no idea what way the other team are playing so just ride it out until it ends and hope you dont get hammered in the process.

THIS DRIVES ME MAD TOO!!!

Agree with this 100%, Arkaden is very well designed but other than that.....

__________________________

Was going to save this for a week after thread. But I just wanted to post it now but in lesser detail than what I intended.

Long story short, I'm just not enjoying the game. Between my aim seemingly having disappeared after my 3 month COD break pre-release, fairly consistent lag if not jumping up and down from 1-3 bar during a match a handful of times and lack of motivation playing COD I just cannot get into the game but what I've properly experienced I have not liked.

Maybe that will change with time. I'm not sure on this one. Enjoyed BOPS far more despite Famas and Ghost.

Jev/N

Aggggh.... just lost 4 hours of play this evening. After finishing up with online, went to Elite, then Spec Ops and finally back to Multiplayer and everything was gone :mad::mad:

Spike2010

There is noway this game is better than Black Ops. There is more camping in this and everyone is just out for KDR! I'm actually glad i'm no good at this least i'm having abit of fun, weather i go 1-100 or 5-4. Some people take these games way too serious.

oranbhoy67

Im still 50/50 on this game but tbh thats dissapointing after spending €100 on it,, if they fix the lag it might be fine but as it is im going back to Black Ops... good solid maps & no lagging & good online play .. despite it not seeming to be fashionable to say so!

LaVail

Ok so I didn't read most of this thread because I just got here...Not enjoying MW3 at all so far, thought it would grow on me but it hasn't yet. Looking back on when blops came out I couldn't stop playing. Even though many hate it and it has it's faults it had nice maps and was action packed...Fast forward to MW3...

1. Connection seems to be brutal, even worse than black ops. When I fire 4 or 5 bullets at a guy and then he kills me, when I see the kill cam it looks like I didn't even fire my gun.

2. Maps...they couldn't be any worse than they are...too big...too many alleys, buildings, burning cars, windows, I don't know where to look half the time and in general the maps look awful...with maybe one or two exceptions.

3. The spawns!! Have you lads seen the cut of this s**t? Kill some fella and he spawns right behind you and shoots you in the back? Yesterday I was playing dom and actually spawned right into a flash bang and got shot ffs. What were the developers thinking?
COD should have a public beta and be properly tested but no...they roll out a half arsed attempt.

4. No unlimited sprint!! The maps are huge and we have to run 3 steps, walk 3 steps and then run three steps again, god almighty!

5. Bought the game the day it was released and still not able to get on elite, what a load of ****e.

6. Every night I end up playing with the same Irish lads, while thats grand, i'd still like it to be like blops where you were gaming with people from all over the world.

7. Stop with the buttons in clan tags lads...They are banning people using them, twas grand looking at them the first day but now everyone is using them.

gcgirl

Sprinting is extreme conditioning, I spawned the other day and a bouncing betty caught me with in a second

tonsiltickler

I dont like the way I have to play to be succesful in this game. Rushing is a big no no. If you want to do decently you have to forget about the sprint button entirely.

Its preventing me from rushing which is the only way I really know how to play. the maps I find are really big but clustered with buildings. No long lines of sight anywhere. I keep getting stuck in corners and bumping into my own teammates.

Its so frustrating, i haven't had a session yet that I haven't come away from pissed off.

An interesting point and one that I whole totally agree with. Since I have internet that is 89% slower than the rest of Ireland(!), and with the general lag issues I have in MW3 I'm fairly ****ed against Irish players who from what I can see are 4 bar in the majority. I'm lucky when I get 3 bar in this game, so an Irish lobby which all too regular sucks.

At least in BOPS and COD4 I occasionally had the advantage, or it was on a similar connection to the majority of people I was up against.

Eldoco

I HATE EMP'S!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is my only gripe so far

FutureGuy

Wow you'd swear that, because we are seeing a higher % of Irish players in games, you'd have less idiots. Alas, no.

[ACE] guys are morons for a start.

The amount of lads playing Kill Confirmed who either don't know/don't care about the fact you have to pick up the fcuking tags is unreal. Pick them up to win the game!!!!

Other than that, will be on the Sunshine page alot more than on here.

Maxed out the KSG myself , was a labour of love and 2 days of getting bitch slapped around each map but in the end you'll find the range prof with steadyaim and grip have the same effect as the damage prof. It reduces the spread meaning more damage on target as a side effect with the addition oif giving you longer range than usual.

May try max out the spas now but wanna take a few days of actually winning again!

people robbing your tags is annoying, fair enough if its fair distance away and you snipe a guy or die before you grab it then work away, get the tag, I do it if theres no teammates around and the enemy is going for it. but when you shoot someone and a team mate blatantly tries to take the tag in front of you is annoying.

Krudler a teammate picking up your tags gets you both XP so it can be beneficial for the two of you.

OK, after nearly a week playing this I have some major problems, most that can and probably will be easily fixed but at least one of them wont.

1. Spawning, Spawning and Spawning. Now this is regularly an issue for a new COD but this really takes the biscuit. It just seems to spawn people in random places no matter what the gametype. You always have to look behind you because there is probably somebody who's just spawned there. This should be fixed soon by a patch though.

2. Health. The amount of health you have has gone back to MW2 levels which wasn't unexpected but is very unwelcome after Blops. There's no way of getting out of a one on one unless you win the initial gun battle. This is something that wont be fixed at all...

3. The Type 95 Assault Rifle. Why they have to put an overpowered burst fire rifle in every game is beyond me, and in this one they decide that you can put rapid fire on them. This hasn't been a huge problem so far but as people level up it will start to creep in and it'll become like the FAMAS in the previous 2 games.

4. Elite. I got it for the DLC but I'd like it to actually work and even though I don't care about the stats, I'd like to see them. Also I never got the 2 hours double XP that I was supposed to afaik or the title and emblem I've seen some people with. Am I supposed to do something other than put the code into XBL?

5. Maps. I still haven't warmed to them after my intial disappointment with them. They aren't helped by the spawning outlined above but they are a maze and really don't suit any style of play other than camping.

The Type 95 is nuts, it's like a sniper rifle, way too powerful.

Shakeyspears

I knew as soon as I unlocked the Type 95 that it would be the gun that people complain about. In a game with so many different guns with each one having to be different, one of them is going to come out on top.

It's promising to see that they apparently patched the Spas-12 with that patch that came on the xbox. So this will probably mean that they will improve/tone-down the effect of different guns/killstreaks so long as they get enough of a back lash.

That Arkaden map is getting on my nerves a little

So would you say the KSG is decent now? I maxed outthe spas,was thinkin about the doing the model 1887 next but mite do the KSG

Is the type95 really THAT overpowered though? Someone killing you with it could have probably done the same with a barrett etc

Is it any more OP than my FAD which is able to put 40 bullets in a complete straight line in about 3 seconds?

Shakeyspears

It isn't that overpowered. It is just a strong gun and people will tend to use it more and then complainers will complain that it is killing them too often. It takes five bullets at range to kill. In the range that they could kill you in three bullets; you could also kill them with any of the SMGs.

It is by far the most balanced COD yet. Everything has a viable counter.

MiCr0

any one else find the score boards really annoying?
where are the details of captures/defends/kills confirmed/denied?

i thought they were encouraging team play, rather that just KD??

Jev/N

After all the complaining by people about the sniper rifles and QS, I decided to give 'em ago having already had some experience in COD4 and MW2.

Holy ****, the amount of hitmarkers I got aiming at the head or upper chest was ridiculous! And I wasn't bothering with QS

ha I didnt even realise, that'll tell you how fast paced it is when you're getting xp and dont realise why :pac: does someone else picking up your tag count towards your pointstreak or theirs? I must play Kill confirmed more, been mostly playing demolition and domination to rank up. does quitting games reset xp? not the ps3 equivalent of dashboarding but just leaving the game after a fwe seconds or whatever, I'd say all last night I started one game in a lobby, the rest I was just thrown into half over games and hammered.
