[CoD MW3] - Megabitch Thread

These fellas running akimbo are annoying the hell out of me now.

Plus playing a lot of kill confirmed and the amount of people on my own team I see camping, like just sitting on a corner does my f*ckin' head in.

TBH I've taken to using a smoke grenade to get them out of the habit.

Don't get me wrong, I'm an objective based player and not very good but this just pisses me off so much.

For the love of God IW.

BUFF. THE. SHOTGUNS.

Just put a comical clip in my vault where I'm standing right beside a sniper with a spas. I shoot him twice. Two hitmarkers. He turns around and knifes me. F*cking ridiculous.

Here is the clip. Admittedly my third shot at him was awful but it's still stupid all the same.

I mean it's making for boring gameplay where everyone resorts to those annoying akimbo fm89s or whatever they're called for their short ranged kills. Way more effective than any shotgun in this game.

Honestly, with the right patches, this would be a great game. So infuriating.

Looks like you might have got a hit marker for a dude behind the wall on the 2nd shot to me?

Looks like it alright but even so that first shot was less than 3m away and a full on spread too.... should have downed him easily. We aint asking for a crazy one hit gun at any range kinda weapon but my god its a joke when fmgs are soooooooo overpowered while true cqc weapons like shotties are balanced in all other senses like reload speed and range but have only one major flaw...... the power of a sick kitten scratch.

Im fully convinced IW doesnt play the game at all. They cant because anyone at all playing is painfully away of these balancing issues after a few mins.

First one should have downed him easy. That's just ridiculous.

Perhaps but he defo got a second hitmarker on the sniper, you can see it in the killcam.

If you look at the killcam, your man takes two sets of damage, the second one being stronger than the first. Although my second shot may have hit both of the gentlemen, it was still not enough to get even one kill from point blank range.

Akimbo is one of the biggest plagues on CoD, it never should have been introduced. Guys spraying the FMG or Skorpion like lunatics does my head in. I'd love it if they lost points for going under a certain accuracy % :pac:

Agree completely, the shotguns need a buff but they need a major buff if these things stay the way they are. What's the point in running a close range primary if the best close range weapon in the game is a secondary? It also renders the overkill perk redundant for AR and sniper classes IMO. ( where I think it would see the most use)

How have they not patched the noob 95 yet? Its not like its a grey area of being overpowered or not?! Its clearly a one burst kill point and click gun. FFS IW get off yer ****ing arses, its not like you have a pokey little indie game that you can get away not balancing for ages.

They didn't patch the M16 in 4 why do you think they will patch the type 95 in this? With silencer + rapid fire + steady aim it's ridiculous, no doubt about it but I just don't see it being patched.

If they fixed the akimbo somehow and buffed the pump shotguns even just to the point of being usable I'd be quite happy with the weapon balance overall.

My bitch: I've seen some really crap spawns in this, especially on Mission. I think that's the name of it, the one where one side of the map is one big hill with a church at the top and a bulldozer about half way down.

They have it down for the next update that the t-95 and akimbo fms to be nerfed.

With regards to the shotguns they need to nerf the striker and buff the rest of them .

Great news about the update, I'd be happy to see the AA-12 remain fairly bad, the thing just encouraged extreme camping in MW2.

at what gun level do you unlock the bullets that go around corners?

also the l95 and the fmg akimbo's seriously need to be nerfed.The amount of fuktards running around with them is unreal:EDIT:just seen shammy's post above

Thats been in since MW2.

How many times have I ran around a building.....spotted someone with the drop on me....got off a few rounds and ducked back around a corner and went....."Whew I avoided.....oh no sh!t I am dead" kind of situations.

The bullet or delayed reaction of dying once your around the corner is Maddening.

Hehe.
Caught reloading after a kill but it's OK cos there's a corner you can rush to.
Gonna make it gonna make gonna make it!

Yeah!
Made it.

Oh crap I'm dead. Controller out the ****ing window.

"Wait, that's a bullet in my skull..? Didn't notice it, guess I'm dead then."


I like to imagine that's what my character thinks after I've gone around a corner only to die when I should have avoided it.

Every time this happens to me the killcam tends to disagree. The killcam is a bloody liar!

I think the only one that annoys me more is when the killcam has me running Baywatch style down the street cause of dickish connections. Not only do I die, I look ridiculous while doing it!

Theater mode.One thing I really enjoyed about black ops was the theater.It was easy to navigate,you could spectate every player in the game in fpv and you could check the score at any time.The theater in mw3 is awkward to use and you cannot do the simple things ive listed above anymore. This is not a gamebreaker for me but its a shame they had to tinker with something that worked fine already and ruin it.

Completely agree - its not as user friendly!


Also, one thing that alot of people complained about in Bl Ops was the hit-detection (I remember the song - "goodbye black ops" the complained about getting shot around corners).
So, if in MW3 turning off theatre "improves" the connection, then I wonder if there had of been an option of turning off theatre in Black Ops would that have solved it.. Hmmmm..

Was getting a game of TDM watch there at the weekend and had this knob on our team. The minute the game would start he would just start firing....non stop constantly.

He would then follow team mates around the map with his non stop firing giving away our position.....

Yeah, we saw that in a TDM over the weekend although the guy just stayed at spawn firing into the ground. Did it for maybe ten games running, that's like maybe an hour. Some people eh?
