[CoD MW3] - Megabitch Thread

Just spent a couple of hours with the single player campaign and it's good the same old CoD flaws - endless respawning enemies until you hit the magical invisible checkpoint. You can still just ignore them, leg it past them and trigger the next scene.

yeah for some reason IW's game chat is crazy bad. Same in MW2, it all seems to be robot voices. Normally I just stay in a party with my mates but we went to play search last night and it was so bad. They never fixed it in MW2 so I don't hold out much hope for this. Didn't stop me annoying some other Dublin lads to the max though when they beat us 4-0 in our first game, start saying 'we came on here looking for a game, but there's no decent players online' and we hammered them for like the next 4:D they were such simpletons...

Got a care package and didnt use it, died then worked my way up to another one. Went to call in the two of them but only got one? Anyone come across this?

Well if thats not total trolling I dunno what is but hey, seeing as mw3 will sell more and be a higher rated game via metacritic then enjoy your less popular lower rated game.

Iv never seen such a massive difference between critic and user reviews for MW3!!! at the end of the day a critics opinion counts for little as you have to appease your fan base

It's ridiculous.

This is the megabitch thread, not sunshine and lollipops. Of course there are going to be grievances - the proof is in the title ffs. You'd swear the people on here were getting paid from IW aswell to throw out the usual drivel. It's an opinion for crying out loud.

COD hater I wouldn't have said. Battlefield fanboy on the other hand... well who am I to say it, only you really know

...and before you start on me, I'm a fan of Battlefield 3 also and have critisied COD numerous times. I do not have blinkers on like many people do for either game series even with my favourite being COD4. When I didn't play BF before I could appreciate what it offered at the very least. It's amazing how many people are incapable of distinguishing between the two games and what both offer the FPS community as a whole. It says a lot about people if they continue with their dick wavering for a game series and bashing the other at any given opportunity. Worst thing from my perspective with this forum is, it's adults doing it for the most part. Genuinely comical as it is baffling. Enjoy them for what they both, long story short.

You've made your point about preferring BF quite clear in your OP, and went stirring for a reaction with the article piece 'gratz, you got it.

Anywhoo, back to my main point. The crux of the matter is *drum roll*, you haven't even played the game yet! I'd consider it fanboy-ish to slam a game without playing it, but that's just my perspective

I cant believe they didn't include "Swan Dive" from black ops! This was one of the best things about that game and its not even in this. Disgrace. feckin IW

Very disappointed it wasn't included, it was fun messing about with it and p'ed off serial drop shot users too which was good to see coming from a competitive background where it can be spammed like you wouldn't believe.

The following piece of text is lifted from the IGN review has really cemented my decision on not buying this...

The bit in bold literally made me lol, the only new multiplayer feature they list in their review is followed up with "offers one of the most varied multiplayer shooter experiences around." Are they ****ing kidding me???

And it's not even a new feature they just changed an old one. IGN jumping on the CoD bandwagon again, it's disgraceful, I knew they were bad but that's just pure garbage journalism.

You're quoting IGN. I'll leave it at that and let that sink in.

Wasn't really an issue for players tbh, can't remember ever swan diving by mistake. What console/websites you playing competitively on?

Issue for competitive players? It was spammed by a whole host of players. I personally think it's a cheap way to get a kill.

360 and PS3, mainly Hardcore SnD and doubles. Occasionally played regular core too but that was brief compared to the other two.

Gamebattles

Hope to get back into it after my 4th year finals conclude. Been on hiatus for awhile now.

I meant that it Black Op's attempt at stopping drop shotting wasn't an issue for players. Might recognise you if I knew your psn/cg username :P

Fouloleron · 09-11-2011 02:46PM

Already finished SP and finished with MP.

Just should called it MW3:Cut and paste, this game is deffo not worth what I paid for it.

Some things that are pissing me off atm. Played about 4 hours.

1. All the maps seem small. Designed for close combat. So no open areas to snipe.

2. Controls feel stiff compared to all the other cods. I'm going to try MW2 again just to see if its my imagination.

3. No marathon. Can only run for a couple of seconds which means a slower game imo.

4. People just seem to blend in with the background making it harder to see them. Might be just me thou.

5. Cant turn off the music.

6. No intervention :-( I thought it was coming back.

its your imagination, controls identically to MW2, the sensitivity levels are a bit different, I'm playing on 5 now whereas I'd play on 7 on MW2 but it feels the same.

Marathon is in it but its Extreme Conditioning, longer running like COD4 opposed to infinite running like MW2. I'd prefer that to being akimbo shotgunned by infinite sprinters tbh.

I've been sniping plenty on it, theres some maps have decent sightlines for it, go explore and see. Mission has a ton of them.

Its very bad at the moment, can't really hear anyone at all, everyone sounds like their talking through a box of cornflakes. Kind of annoying because it takes the banter out of the games.

Honestly I'm already thinking about trading it for Skyrim on Friday.

I was saying that to the lads on Skype last night. Now I haven't played any COD mp for 3 months before yesterday so my aim was off as it has been when I have taken long breaks from the game, but it was truly shocking yesterday. Might have to up to 5 myself quite possibly.

Assassin.

Oddly enough near every Irish player I've come up against is using it...

Why wouldn't you use this perk? Even the worst COD player in the world can get a UAV, C-UAV and an Advaced UAV in this game now! I have even resorted to using it and i never used Ghost or Cold Blooded before!

Community feedback ruined MW3 just like it did BLOPS!

MW2 is still the bench mark for multiplayer gaming, its fun and easy to play but hard to master!

Nagin · 09-11-2011 08:02PM

Ya its pretty much some DLC for MW2....but is that such a bad thing.

MW2 was a heck of alot better than Black Ops. Sounds better though and the LMGs are more realistic feeling. Not worth the money but I couldnt imagine not having it

Im a run and gunner so works out well. Smaller maps and fast game play is the business

Add me: wally114

Thomasheen · 09-11-2011 08:05PM

Sigh... yesterday was fun but now everyone has unlocked this new perk called assasian...

Cossax · 09-11-2011 09:46PM

Assassin is over-powered, TBF. Other perks in that tier aren't exactly amazing and given the amount of UAVs, Counter UAVs and Advanced UAVs, it's kinda silly not to use it at least some of the time.

baldymac · 09-11-2011 10:38PM

what a joke this is, they have learned nothing

so much lag more so them bo

matchmaking shocking

trying to join a party well you cant unless you get invited. it says party closed invite only you cant change this

take over a minute to get into the game, if you rlucky to actually get in

you spent x amount on the elite and cant log on to web site

if ur host you cant leave a party without the team following you back unlike BO

KERSPLAT! · 09-11-2011 11:26PM

Hopefully I won't be posting here too often

Anyway, was playing a few games earlier, had about 1k kills and 900 deaths total, turned off xbox for a while, came back on to see that my whole last session of about 2 hours or more had dissappeared, kills, perks, guns, time played etc. everything was lost. CFC told me it's becaus I didn't go to the main menu before turning off the xbox, so let this be a lesson, go all the way to the main menu before you turn the xbox off.... So pissed off :mad:

JokerD · 09-11-2011 11:38PM

When starting off the game leaves you far too exposed, add this to being matched up with people nearly prestige and it's not good.

Some kind of UAV Jammer and suppressors should be easily accessible at the start. Ridiculous not knowing the maps and then UAV in the air every second. No tactical element when it's like this, you're just target practice for the high level people.

Quickscoping rampant in the first couple of games I played too but no point in complaining about this, we knew it would be in.

baldymac · 09-11-2011 11:40PM

who's looking forward to BO 2( what ever they call it) as MW3 is a shambles atm

Me! But only because I really enjoyed Black Ops.

I'm sure I'll be kept fully occupied with MW3 until then...

Randall Floyd · 10-11-2011 12:00AM

The spawning is just wrong, i've lost count of the amout of times i've respawned just to be killed instantly!

hightower1 · 10-11-2011 01:00AM

WOW.... shotguns are beyond useless. I cant count the amount of hitmarkers I was getting. I started getting pissed off but stuck with it and after 2 hours I was literally laughing at how bad they are. Shocking stuff. Never mention the terrible map design, have they ever heard of a little thing called flow of movement?

How did they do so badly? I mean all they had to do was say upgrade the mw2 graphics, double the weapons list / attachment size. Create 15+ maps that include hold / choke points so players have focal points to fight over. Remove OMA and MLC .... bada bing, job done.

What they actually did was create 15+ maps that have no focal or choke points to focus the matches meaning games devolve into "here is a choice of three routes, take one and hope not to get side swiped ....OH TOO LATE.... here are three routes : wash rinse repeat".

Set shotguns as a primary...but make them less lethal than bb guns?
Half the map size people want and clutter the **** out of them rendering any weapon over medium range useless, with the afore mentioned crap that the shotties are that means the only effective guns are SMGS.

Lets make it more gun on gun, that doesnt mean you need to make kill streaks not fun anymore.

I think Ill give this one a miss now just like black ops and trade it in next week. Hit detection seems to be way off, maps are a joke ruining flow and use of most weapons and then the killstreaks are joyless. COD needed a reboot before, it was in danger of getting stale....it now needs a reboot because its lost all its inspiration and talent.

Its seeming more and more apparent that west and zampella were the people who helped bring that secret sauce of addictiveness to cod and without them every game feels like a treyarch game. Maybe respawns project will be the FPS I want.....just hurry up and make it already!

Truly terrible but im gonna stick with the spas until I unlock the damage upgrade and if it still sucks.......I dunno,I mean they're worse than the black ops shotguns and remember how ppl complained about them at the start
