Ballymun Bohs

The KSG! Fcuk me it's terrible!! I have grip and kick at the moment and not even getting hitmarkers when shooting from the hip from 5 feet away. You have to ADS to get a kill! Still I'm gonna try and rank it up and get it gold for craic

Magill

Its not TOO bad for me, got damage + extended mags on. Still.. get some odd hitmarkers.

I dunno it was pretty funny playing with boardsies when we all had cold blooded and ninja on and hid in some bushes on Wasteland on a s&D game, that was for lulz though :pac:

Different story when a group of lads do it for the craic :pac: but playing against 6 random campers in a public lobby is just unbearable. IW catered for the noobs big time in this game with last stand, dead mans hand, dark corners and head glitching spots everywhere.

I wonder if it would be a better game if killstreaks were taken out altogether?

Kells...

Got this as a christmas present and have only just begun to play.
Is it just me(probably is) but im so shhiiiittttte at it.
Can anybody help because ive put 5 hrs in now and things are not getting much better.

Think im level 15, play with Scar with extra damage bullets and fast re-load or whatever. Should i be using a better gun because i may aswell be throwing toffees at some enemies.

Also, some times when i get killed its from not being able to see enemies red dots on the screen. Is this me just being crap or is that a perk thats available as you level up?

I was quite alright at MW2 but these maps are just mahem with so many entry and exit points to every area! Casuals like me havent got a chance really.

Scar's a pretty good gun though the clip is a bit small. I'm loving the CM901 at the moment.
You're always going to be at a disadvantage 'cos people are more familiar with the maps now. SMGs are probably better as most encounters are going to be CQC. The PPM901 is a beast and unlocks pretty early.
Perks / attachments really depend on your play-style but I never run anything unsilenced bar the LMGs / Snipers. Also stinger with Blind Eye is useful for building pointstreaks.
If you were ok in MW2 you'll do ok in MW3

Try using the PP90M1 smg with Sleight of Hand, quickdraw and Stalker. Also make sure you're are using concussions and semtex as your grenades. When you unlock the silencer for PP90M1 use that until you get extended mags.


my post from another thread

Posted this in the other thread but probably better off here:

My tips for loadout would be:

Primary:

AR: T95/ACR/G36C/Scar/FAD
Attachments: Red dot/Silencer (nothing else! Rest are useless.)
Proficiency: Kick/Impact

SMG: MP5/UMP/PP/P90/Last one
Attachments: Red dot/Silencer/Rapid fire/Extended mags (nothing else)
Proficiency: Range

Secondary: Either of the 2 revolvers
Perk 1: Sleight of Hand/Extreme Conditioning
Perk 2: Quickdraw/Assassin
Perk 3: Dead Silence/Stalker

Killstreaks: 3 uav / 5 pred / 7 chopper
Deathstreak: The one that makes you kill your 1st person in less bullets.

Is all I use and works pretty well, uavs are very good but don't rely on them as lots of people use jammers. I find that choppers get more kills than strafe runs so are a good choice at 7. Preds are always a solid kill/double kill.

Other general tips:
If you're going around a corner use ADS just as you walk around, will get you that kill if somebody's waiting there.
ALWAYS look at your radar.
Try to pay attention to where people spawn ie. if you're pushing the left side on ctf where are the opposition spawing? How close do you have to go to C domo before they spawn at A? When you start noticing these things you'll be able to have a very good idea of where the entire other team is.
Use 3 sensitivity.
If you don't knife much use Tactical button layout.

and somebody else's

PHYSICAL TACTICS

1. Always have the FMG9 akimbo as your secondary: 8 times out of ten the FMG9's will win the close range engagement. Dropshotting with them makes sure you will almost NEVER lose an close range fight. Also, make sure you have these equipped when clearing out houses....like in carbon.

2. If you get shot first, drop immediately: If somebody shoots you first theres a good chance you're goind to see the kill cam. Dropping will throw their aim off for a second so you can get off your shots first.....this is the technique of dropshotting.

3. Hip fire frequently: When your close to somebody make sure you're already firing while you're going to ADS.

4. The Type 95 red dot sight is your friend

5. Equip silencers but don't equip assassin: If you're shooting you do not want to be seen on the radar because you will not be focused, but you should be good enough that if you're just walking around you can be alert enough to successfully engage anybody that finds you.

6. Always have the stalker perk equipped: see tip 12

7. Go to youtube and learn how to dropshot.

8. Do not run much, this leaves you vunerable.

9. ADS around corners instead of rushing around corners.

10. Disable controller vibration: It will help your aim and focus when your getting fired on.

11. The Silenced ACR is your friend.

12. When you aim strafe with the enemy instead of stopping: The enemy will have a harder time aiming at you.

13. As soon as you see an enemy and you know you have a shot....do not hesitate in the slightest and just unload. (You can also use this tip when making love with ur gf....oh wait....this is a MW3 board...uhh nvm. lol ^_^)

----MINDSET TIPS

---

1. Don't get too serious about this game, you must realize that this is only a game.
Does this game really matter in the real world? Does it really matter if you get killed in the imaginary world of MW3 multiplayer?...I think not.

2. Do not care when somebody kills you: It's only working to make you a better player.

3. MW3 was made for entertainment....and that all it should do for you. Have fun while playing. The only emotion that should be getting usage is your happiness.

4. Do not rage quit.

5. Do not get mad at somebody elses tactics.

There is like 2 rows of accolades that neither I or my friend have unlocked, I checked them out online and they seem to be awards for bad play or something. I dont know about my friend but I have had some stinker of games and should have unlocked a couple, whats the story with them?
I noticed on the cod wiki it says "to be confirmed" or something on the list.

Ken Tucky

Sound, i'll give some of those a try! Not going to pack it in just yet. Saturday shes going out early, the little fella will be going to bed early so i'll give it a good lash then...if you guys want some serious xp then be on-line then

Arkaden is a good map for sniping, the broken statue on the far side of A flag is good and theres a coffee shop counter that looks towards B flag you hide behind, A flag to C flag route through the shopping mall is a good spot too. I hated there was no obvious long sightlines at the start but they are there, just not in abundance as they were on MW2.

No it's not. Since mw2 sniper rifles, lmgs and to a lesser extent shotguns have been underpowered and underutilised through the omission of stopping power, the increasingly cluttered maps and poor hit detection. The vast majority of people will have smgs or assault rifles as their favourites for mw3. I hate dying from quickscopers as much as the next man but having everyone using the same overpowered guns such as dual fmg9s/type95s/famas/ump/noobtube is just boring.

It's pure laziness (or ineptitude) by the mw3 level makers to not incorporate areas in maps where all gun classes can shine or to make less popular guns inviable, you could snipe in all levels in black ops and mw2. Pretty much every gun in mw2 was, with the right perks and attachments, deadly and enjoyable to use in the right circumstances. Black ops guns weren't as enjoyable across the range as mw2, but the good maps were balanced, which softened the blow.

For mw3 with the map design being so similar throughout, there are guns which are largely redundant. The only reason people use shotguns is because the maps are clustered and there is stopping power-like-perks available in the proficiencies, damage and range. If there was damage as a proficiency for lmgs and sniper rifles then the game would be better for it. As thing stand in mw3, the unfavourable map design and weak lmgs and inaccurate sniper rifles are p*ss poor for anyone wishing to try them out.

The makers of mw3's map should go back and look at the level design in CoD4 and take a long walk off a short cliff.

Spas feels much less powerful today.

Wasn't going to prestige anymore but might do if it's not fixed, will just totally ignore the shotguns if that's the case.

Was playing domination on bootleg earlier tonight and in the space of under a minute experienced some of the crappiest things in the game, being killed by campers in corners ignoring the objectives, spawning in front of enemies and dodgy hit detection, so I tried uploading the video to show how bad things are and as a break to blow off some steam.

So I put the recent game in the vault and went about cutting it down to under 30 seconds, and after doing that the game said the vault was temporaily unavailable. I return later to try again and I get to render it, after 4 failed attempts at uploading including one where it failed at 100%, I decide to try again and I'm greeted with the same message as before "The video vault is temporarily unavailable please try again later." Lovely.

It's kind of incredible how they've managed to make so many f**king things wrong with this game.

I havn't played this in about a month but I heard today they nerfed the striker and removed the extended mags glitch for the shotguns. This true? If so then it's going straight to the used games section in gamestop

Robert trollings twitter said they nerged the striker and buffed the rest if the shotguns, never mentioned about the extended mags so i dont know. Strikers recoil even with grip is awful for me 3 shots and im alnost shooting at the sun.

Anyways i dont see how that would make u trade in the game??

The only fun i had playing the game was using the shotguns and the specialist loadout. Everything else just feels nooby for bad players to feel good. No recoil guns, campy maps. Death streaks and support streaks are the same thing to me just rewarding terrible players. With the one usable shotgun gone well then thats it for me. I didn't think IW could make a worse game than MW2 but the bullsh*t rating in this game actually surpasses that. I'll be on cod4 and blops. Two cod games where you actually have to be semi decent to do well

One think I dislike about this game is that its very unforgiving.In Black Ops you could shrug off a certain number of bullets and keep going on occasion.In MW3 it seems to me at least that once someone sees you,especially with a powerful weapon like the Type95 for instance,then you are history.Like 99 times out of 100.That is what I would expect in hardcore mode,but not core.Indeed apart from the nametags&killcams there doesnt seem to be much of a difference between normal and hardcore anymore.

Exactly what happened to me on Monday.

But now youve a bigger selection of shotguns to use no?

Ah what do i care sure and ive never noticed a dfference in nerfs/buffs since ive played cod anyways itll probably be the same..

I think alotta people need to stop using cod4 as a benchmark against this and future cods, its gone, maaan. Just play that if your looking for the cod4 experirnce obviously..

Actually I do agree with this. I never played the pre-nerf akimbo 1887s but anything else they nerfed / buffed I never really noticed the difference.
Famas from blops was supposed to be nerfed and it was still the best gun in the game. Also the nerf on the FMG9s doesn't seem to have stopped anyone using them.

Haha trust me I've used the shotguns alot. I went on today and noticed zero difference in any of them although I didn't use the striker so I cant say anything on that.

And I dont hold cod4 as a benchmark. Granted it's way overhyped but it's still good. Blops is my personal fav so I play that when I need my shooter fix

Someone (iMuse I think) mentioned them fixing the extended mags glitch on the shotguns - the Spas feels weaker than before (extended mags glitch > buff?) but will try again tonight in case it was a poor connection as I also got plenty of hitmarkers with the L118A.

402 is a joke...he's full of sh1t and he can't be trusted. Shotguns are still crap. I'm taking a few days off from MW3, can't handle this game and tbh I'm sick of every aspect of it. Looking forward to blops2, just a pity its a good few months away yet.

KERSPLAT!

Matchmaking.... FFS!

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

dr.bollocko

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.
