    Was playing for a bit last night. Got so frustrated at people sitting in some of the thousands of corners that exist in every map. Went 6 and 17 in a game of FFA. Asked myself the question; am I just crap at COD?

    Put black ops/ MW2 on for a bit after. Was consistently coming in the top two in FFA's in blops and doing really well in search. In MW2 in my first game got pred, harriers and ac-130.

    I don't know if I'm unable to adapt to the playstyle that you need to do well, or if I just don't want to. I'm really bummed on this game. I'm gonna pick up uncharted in the next few days and take a break from COD me thinks.

    I'm think I'm gonna take a permanent break from COD,that's me done with the series.
    I've racked up a massive 1hr 15 minutes in the week I have it.
    MW1,World at War and MW2 had me spending every spare minute online,not so much Black Ops but this I really can't be bothered putting on at all after been looking forward to it since I gave up on Black Ops.

    The patch seemed to do sweet fluck all for lag. I'm still milling rounds into people only to be killed after a single shot.

    This thread is to bash MW3 , not to big up Battlefield every chance you get . Take a week off .

    even though the poster in question went completely overboard BF3 was always the benchmark to which MW3 would be compared against considering that both are the heavy hitters of the FPS genre. In other years COD has won comfortably but this year BF3 is the clear winner

    Im actually glad because this will force COD out of its comfort zone to take back the lead. I actually wondered if BF3 would be as good if it wasnt for COD dominating the last couple of years

    This is the COD forum though , If people want to celebrate the battlefield game then go to the Battlefield forum ...simples.

    This is not the forum for discussion on which is better , I think I saw a MW3 v BF3 thread in the xbox forum.



    I dont know why people insist that one is great and the other crap , for me I think I'm the winner as I've 2 good games to keep me busy .:)

    and on a Mod note : Thats the end of this discussion , if you or any one else would like to discuss the matter further by pm, feel free to do so.

    I still despise assassin/cold blooded/ghost/camoflauge/uav jammer.

    I mean it wasn't a problem until Bops. I can understand why people used it in mw2 because of the OP killstreaks, but that's not an issue in MW3. The killstreaks seem relatively balanced. And there's a f*ckload of buildings aswell. The reaper etc. is useless on tight maps.

    Bops created a mentality for the average ghost user that it's bad to be shown on the radar. It was by far the best perk on the game and now the people/campers who were over-reliant on it are carrying their habits into mw3.

    It's not the perk I hate as such, it's the people who tend to use the perk.

    As if the stealth bomber showing up on the mini map wasn't bad enough (if you had colour blind assist on) now there is a glitch where you can call in unlimited stealth bombers, also people can still get out of the map on outpost even after the patch...when will it all end?

    -Snip-

    Best not to show glitches/how-to videos.

    A few days ago a few of us were playing DOM I think, 1 lad alled in 3-4 stealth bombers within a few minutes, someone called hack/glitch but I didn't take much notice, I'd imagine that's exactly what it was :mad:

    Bah humbug. Playing Survival with some other guy, I was doing fairly well while he sucked. He used up the self revive you get at the start by round 2, I had to pick him up 7-8 times. Anyway, around round 15, he goes down again, then I go down but I still have the self revive. Don't get to use it, the guy quits and I get dropped. :mad:

    How did you get your non-legit one?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 236 ✭✭Davidson2k9


    Its clearly known how much people hate second chance/final stand from Black Ops. So what do they do, only make it more powerful in MW3.

    I was spectating a teammate in headquarters and he was in final stand and throws down his motion sensor and a frag, gets a 4 kill streak before he self revives himself and continues his streak.

    Im not sure if you could use your lethals and tacticals in MW2 in final stand but its a load of bolix either way. On that note, deathstreaks are ridic too. You shouldnt get rewarded for dying multiple times in a row.

    Lagging like mad since the update today

    Quickscoping seems too easy for everyone except me :o

    Spawns in free for all are crazy at times, mainly in Dome and Fallen.

    UAVs are nearly always up so i dont blame alot of people for using Assassin (using it the way it should be used, not sitting in corners).

    Rant over, other than the above im enjoying the game.

    That's more to try and give the player a chance to get out of their run of deaths.

    Though that's not to say they aren't annoying as all hell, I hate things like Final Stand or Martyrdom.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭Mr. Rager


    It's unplayable for a few of us a large amount of the time, and just about manageable for others. I think we have every right to be pissed off at the game after forking over our money for a broken product once again. If this happened on the 360, let's face it, there would have been a far bigger **** storm no question about it. Even Spec Ops lags like a mofo a lot of the times, as me and Soby)can testify to.

    I'm a very capable player but now, in this it's damn difficult to win single gun fights more often than not. People who regularly host/hold a 4 bar connection are complaining of the same thing too on the PS3.



    Maps are a clusterfuck, a good proportion of them anyways. Underground, Fallen and Akraden are very good maps. The rest are poor, even compared to MW2 and arguably BOPS. I'm familiar with the maps, doesn't mean I have to like them.



    Spawn points needed tweaking, not overhauling. Only really Demolition needed some major work on.



    What are fake problems exactly :confused:

    If I recall correctly you slated Black Ops earlier doors like a few here though not as much as them granted, but surely I could have said, it's legal to actually enjoy playing a COD game back then. Cop out remark I feel. I enjoyed the campaign, said it was the best once since COD4 and also, I enjoyed Spec Ops when it's worked. So I like some have enjoyed these aspects of MW3. The multiplayer being designed for Xbox first and foremost, and well and dandy for you guys. But until it's fixed for PS3 (and PC?), it will be continually slated. I'll wait for the first patch or two.

    Sorry if I should harsh man, but I'm quite disillusioned with the game. BOPS had it's problems but at least I could enjoy it for near 4 months (pretty much coinciding with the period I stopped ranking up) solid.

    Sorry about my mega delayed response :P Needed time to sit down and properly reply to this.

    I perhaps may have been a little naive writing my previous post. A week into the game, and having not played as much of the game as others have due to school and whatever, I was in what you would call the "honeymoon period" of the game. I had played the game with a pair of rose-tinted glasses and ignored some of the shíte I had had to put up with just because it was a COD game.

    I have mixed opinions about the game now. I don't quite know whether I like it or not.

    Sure, there are many great new functions. Killstreaks are definitely more balanced. Support and specialist were great ideas. Proficiencies and leveling up your weapon is a lot more fun and rewarding than going for headshots/COD points. The weapons are really fun to use, and there's a great selection. Assassin isn't (so far) as much as a problem as I had foreseen. The game is definitely more gun on gun. COD Elite Clan integration is pretty cool. I know you don't agree, but in my opinion, Infinity Ward haven't been as lazy in terms of patches as I had thought they would. Sure, there's a lack of communication, but at least they have kinda tried to address a few issues. They certainly aren't Treyarch, however.

    Then there are the negatives. Lag. And lots of it. I hadn't suffered from this in the first few days, but now, it's pretty atrocious. The frame rate doesn't drop like on PS3, but all this getting shot around corners crap is back. Party system looks good, but isn't actually very functional, many nights we spend more time in lobbies than actually playing the game. Spawns are poo, I hardly ever come into one on one gunfights in this game, it's all about who spawns behind who. Also, the maps aren't amazing, there is about 2 or 3 good maps, 7 or 8 ok-ish maps and around 4 horrible ones. No standouts a la Terminal/Highrise or Nuketown/Summit.

    Then there are the aspects of the game which I haven't made up my mind about yet. The game, contrary to popular belief, is in no way like MW2 in terms of the way it plays. It doesn't even feel like a Call of Duty game. And I'm not sure if I like that or not.

    I just don't know. I think I like this game, there are no real gamebreakers or anything, but it just feels...different. All I get is a total sense of neutrality. Maybe if they start releasing more frequent patches, especially for the spawns and lag, my opinion will change to a more positive one. But as of now, I can only really play it in a party to get proper enjoyment.

    I suppose it's a bit early to pass judgement on it. No doubt, there is a lot of potential there for it to be one of the best COD games ever. Right now, I don't know what to think. I guess you could call it ok :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,456 ✭✭✭Jev/N


    This is what's wrong with the game/community, players being rewarded/showcased for triples or quads with sniper rifles when their team is losing badly:

    The only worthy "play" here is the round of S&D with the Striker. It's not a play of the week if you aren't benefiting the team! :mad:



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,970 ✭✭✭mufcboy1999


    Worst cod on years come of it, it's all hype these days.

    Blops was better hands down, I taught the maps on Blops were bad but mw3 takes the biscuit shocking maps bar 2 at most.

    Dome has to be the worst small map in the history of cod. the game still hectic not as much as mw2 but it's still hectic none the less just stupid over the top killstreaks I mean you can die on support but still call in a stealth bomber lol how stupid is that!

    Elite is a joke, free for all is beyond laughable the respawing is comical in it. No barebones tdm option like previous cod's.. Yes I know it's in it but I don't want to wait play headquarters in between etc.

    In all a rubbish game, exact same as mw2 just a tiny bit less hectic with bad maps and terrible connection problems.

    Oh Ye the camping is just crazy in it! Well done Blops and treyarch for making a better game with a bit of originality !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 564 ✭✭✭ugglasdav


    yea jev, noob snipers, especially the number 2 clip, the player was looking at the b flag with there sniper only caring about quickscoping people rather that trying to win

    No worries.

    Probably some naivety and jump the gun comments from most people in fairness, and I include myself.. well a bit :P

    Not going to go over everything you said because we seem to be in agreement about the game as a whole, we are not sure what to make of. Your comment about it not feeling like a COD game of the past was interesting, because I agree with you. Not sure how to expand on that though. It feels and plays different mutiplayer wise. Spec Ops and campaign I'm very fond of, lag the odd time in the former aside.

    It does say something though that there's a part of me who prefers MW2 to MW3 even and you know my opinions about MW2 :pac:

    I like this game but there are a few problems.

    - Spawns are just awful worst of the series, i kill a guy and then he spawns behind me and kills me? like wtf? bull****. I think this is because they made the maps smaller.

    - Why did they bring back Deathstreaks?

    - The maps are too crowded and there's just too many spots to hide in

    Apart from that the game seem alright so far.
