Slightly odd question for everyone here,where is a good place to do the 'jump 30 feet to your death' challenge in multiplayer? Spent an hour or so earlier running around various maps jumping off buildings,ledges,walls etc but have yet to find one to kill me!!

I've got owned quite a few times by people running both Akimbo machine pistols and handguns. I've not tried any akimbo weapons as of yet.

Is anyone running akimbo secondaries? Any tips, recommendations?

Great sound off the Deagle also.

I run akimbo Akimbo FMG9's on every class and to be honest I'm starting to have fun using them as a primary. They fire so much lead down range that you are guaranteed the kill with them.

Pro tip: They can take out a juggernaut without having to reload, takes about 4 seconds. This guy worked hard yesterday morning to get his and I wasted him as soon as he put the suit on

They are wicked.

Running a UMP with rapid fire... Strikes me that any set up of SMG or LMG without rapid fire or akimbo FMG9s becomes underpowered in a straight fight.

To get rid of lag another huge tip is to make sure nobody else is using the internet around you on laptops, smartphones, etc....(I hope this isn't too obvious already) :P

This !!!!
I run with the Specialist Strike Package and I find that its the MOST fun I've had in any Cod game to date !!

The groans from the opposition when you burst into an area and annihilate several of them is priceless !!!

Yawwwwwwwwwwwww !!!!!!!
I'm bricking it that they Nerf them coz they are seriously powerful close range.

FMG9s are fast becoming disliked. Viewed as very overpowered, I haven't had a chance to try them yet though.

to be honest they are overpowered, generally if you have steady aim and have them akimbo you will come out on top of most gun fights in close quarters combat

you don't even need steady aim on them. They need to nerf them quick-smart.

This might have been said already but......

if you trip a bouncing betty, go prone straight away. Then it won't kill you!

This thread has taught me about the merits of hip-fire. My god. How stupid was I to not know?
Hip-fire goddammit!

Just started using Akimbo FMG9s. Definitely overpowered. Love using them though.

Miss Dolphin diving, like I do, from Black Ops?

Simply run towards your target, jump up in the air and as soon as your feet touch the ground, press the "lie-down" button.

Simples.

:P

Mr. Manager

I do that when I spawn an run to a flag. It lets me keep hold of that treasured memory

I'd perceive this to be good tip for playing solo (particularly as this game likes to match you with some of the worst players of all time! :P) and also for a few people to run in a party. Run the support package with hardline but only just 2 pointstreaks (UAV and Counter UAV)

Very easy to get a constant stream of UAV and Counter UAV's then which can help pull the lesser likes along or if in a party 3 UAV's = Advanced UAV. If done properly you can practically keep a UAV up for most of the game while keeping the enemy blind

Yip thats pretty much what I do when I'm playing on my own.

Add Recon Drone to that and yup, exactly what I do as well when running solo.

I played a few games on sunday night at about 1 till near 3... and i swear to god... team balancing hates me !

Lost 5 games of TDM/Killconfirmed in a row (In mercenary !). Kept getting stuck with the same 2 or 3 newbies. One game of TDM i finished 42-9 and we still lost by a large margin !

Was running support with UAV/CUAV and Sam. So they didn't have to worry about air support or radar and they knew where most of the enemies were and were still managing 1-15 type scores. No amount of UAV's or recon drones could have won us those games lol

Oh and pro tip... anyone that loves to boost their stats, run Pred/Reaper/ac130 in dom with hardline and a stinger. Joke it is.

everlast75

This goes for any CoD game and may be stating the obvious but...

If you hear and enemy airborne killstreak about to come in (eg. Stealth bomber, Harrier strike) just as you die... wait a good few seconds before clicking to respawn. Less chance of you getting killed again straight away.

Perhaps slightly off topic but anyone know how I can get the fps displayed on MW3 for PC?

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.
