I love the maps tbh, IW> Treyarch at map design.

people seem to be complaining theres not enough spawn traps and choke points...ehhh, good? keep you on your toes, I can play MW2 with my eyes closed now its so familiar, everyone runs to particular areas on maps ALL the time. that will happen as well with MW3, remember the game is out 3 days, people dont know the layouts enough yet, compared to COD4 and MW2 where when you play enough you know every inch and sightline of every map and can change your tactics accordingly.
give it a few weeks play and the headless chicken aspect will settle down and there'll be more well know routes around maps. right now everyones just running around getting the layouts, theres still some maps I havent even played a game on, had to go into a private game to see what that freeway map was like as it hadnt come up in the rotaiton yet.

I just can't agree cause when I look at the maps I've played so far I just compare them to blackops and think fuk sake why couldnt you make a map like array, summit, nuke, firing range, villa. Good big maps where you don't have to die every 5 seconds from being shot in the back(Nuke + Range the exceptions), Stadium, Berlin just all far more superior maps. A bit bigger and open not so small and tight.

Does anyone else not think interchange is just a god awful map? I can't be the only one on that. It just looks horrible and plays even worse for me.

I wouldn't go that far, all personal preference obviously but im not feeling a lot of the maps and theres no instant favs like in MW2/Blops. Maps seem to be a bit hectic for my liking, lots of elevation and too much clutter. I do love me a nice clean map which is why i loved most of blop's maps.. no crates or rubbish lying about the place !

Maps are class

I dunno. I'm finding that the smaller, straight-up death match maps are brilliantly designed with few if any choke points, camping locations or spawn issues. The bigger, domination and ground war maps are leaving me cold so far though - they seem to be a lot less focused there's more camping and yet they're too small for proper sniping. Maybe that's because I don't know them all that well yet though.

Have to say the game is growing on me though, I love the idea of the assault and support packages and the levelling guns is really working. Only thing is that it does discourage experimenting but the UMP45 is all the gun I need so far.

Silencer with either rapid fire or extended mags = Spray heaven

I've nearly got the gold camo for it

I think most of the maps are decent, could do with some bigger ones though.

Totally agree, the problem for me is all the maps look different to some degree ...... but they all feel the same.

Running around them it just feels like fighting in a maze? Samey felling corridors or people sideswiping each other with no real area to rally and mount a defense or focus an attack.

Yeah, some of the maps I find are very cramped. No medium to large ones either.

Haha No I know what you mean but Its still very cluttered in a way do you not think? Its open alright but it just looks **** too imo.

The maps are too camper friendly. Too many rooms. They should copy cod4 maps like Crash, Crossfire and Showdown.

Crash is a really camper friendly map, theres at least a half dozen places you'll always find people holed up. or sniping from the open rooftop, people spend the entire game up there.

1 weapon level away from a gold CM901

It'll be the longest 1 level ever! I'm tellin' ya! :eek:

I now see why they put in Double Weapon XP as an option!!!

Have the Gold Scar.... and to be honest, it just doesnt look as good as I thought it would. They could have made it a little brighter.

After playing a good bit today. Getting back to my best. The game is growing on me once I started to learn the maps.

Double xp is so worth it. Still getting killed alot from behind tho

krudler · 10-11-2011 09:32PM

hey AGB what do you make of the music in the game? I didnt think it'd be a patch on MW2's soundtrack but it has some really good tunes, must download it
