Claymores and bouncing bettys are crap! I just watched an enemy walk over one of my bouncing bettys in an open area, it made that clicking sound but didn't go off for another 2-3 seconds, he was long gone by then....

There's a perk to delay bouncing bettys and claymores, can't remember the name of it

They probably have stalker pro on , it delays clamores and bouncing bettys

The lag. Sweet Jesus the lag. I thought it was borderline unplayable yesterday but now it's beyond a joke. It affects everything. Kills are denied, unfair deaths suffered, running around is choppy and feels awful, capturing points is like playing Russian Roulette and collecting Kill Confirmed dog tags requires you to sit on them for about 2 seconds before the message finally comes up and you can be sure you've collected them.

I agree with everyone who says the maps are bad too. They make normal TDM and Domination feel like 18-player Ground War, and make Ground War feel like being trapped in a tumble dryer with a tiger.

The lag can (hopefully) be fixed, but the worst part is that we're stuck with the poor maps for the foreseeable future, unless we pay €15 for every new map pack that comes out.

Mikeyt086 · 20-11-2011 11:36PM

My opinions on the maps:

Good maps: Village, Arkaden, Hard Hat.
Tolerable maps: Underground, Carbon, Lockdown.
Bad maps: Bakaara, Fallen, Dome, Bootleg, Seatown, Resistance.
Worst maps ever to grace a game: Downturn, Mission.

The other two, Interchange and Outpost, have not come up ONCE in my experience of playing TDM, Kill Confirmed and Domination since launch day. Wtf is that?

NufcNavan · 21-11-2011 01:00AM

I've 6 or so hours online and still haven't played all the maps.

I only genuinely like one of them so far. (Arkaden) Rest are either 'meh' or just sh*t.

KERSPLAT! · 21-11-2011 01:07PM

Downturn and Carbon are hateful maps! Not a fan of Baakara either, the rest are decent IMO. What grinds my gears is the amount of clutter in some of them like the market area in Seatown :mad: also the fact that you can't jump over/on most objects is a pain

Nuri Sahin · 21-11-2011 05:21PM

Host selection is appalling.

SHould point that was the first game I've played today but ffs, 10 people out of 12 on 1 bar. WTF!

Cossax · 21-11-2011 07:32PM

Shotguns still need to be buffed. Even with damage on the SPAS, you still get some ridiculous close range hitmarkers. Worst thing in the world is being outmatched by a sniper rifle at close range cos it takes 2 shots of the SPAS to bring him down. :mad:

Type 95 and Akimbo FMG9s need to be nerfed somewhat. Time seems to stand still for me when someone with Akimbo FMG9s starts firing.

Sorting out the lag would help too - bullets shouldn't bend around corners. :rolleyes:

theteal · 21-11-2011 07:53PM

I've gone back to gears 3 for a few days just to have some away time from this so i've no more bitchtastic comments to add. I'll have a game tonight and for the next few days to see how I feel. If still the same, its getting traded for skyrim - a game i originally had no interest in but if you have a look at that thread, there's lads spunking everywhere over it

I just hope MW2 doesn't get hacked as badly as MW1 as I need something for my online run and gun fix

everlast75 · 21-11-2011 09:21PM

I am never ever going to play Domination without a party... F**king frustrating no one capping flags

Seatown once you avoid the square is ok only time I go near that square is domination, it's death central.
Carbon urgh is just a bad map and Downturn yeh fair enough I got some decent multikills but the amount of times I spawned and black Betty got me been unreal !

Klair88 · 21-11-2011 09:54PM

Lag is terrible, i mostly play against irish players it seems and they all want to be deadly, quick scoping and glitching out of maps?! Ridiculous game, everyone says the opposite but IW are killing COD, Treyarch FTW. Black ops is the best MP i've ever played. And at least they're different! MW3 is a copy of MW2. few new things, there nice but the MP sucks. How can a sniper quick scope me before i aim?!
Now im a huge COD fan, and i think black ops was the best, but i also bought BF3 and its deadly lads, ill be playing that till Treyarch release another COD next year

dr.bollocko · 21-11-2011 10:01PM

There's a blops mega bitch thread round here somewhere with a lot of the same rants in it tbh.

Why would anyone be arsed with camping and glitching? It strikes me as the dullest and most tedious way of playing what should be a fluid visceral MP experience.

You run around a corner to get shot down by some camping moron who just sits on a box hanging around a corner nearly jizzing his pants with glee when he sees a little red dot approach the only corner of the damn map he'll see for 10 bloody minutes.

Nuri Sahin · 21-11-2011 10:14PM

I swear that 90% of my teammates camp for their precious assault streaks and K/D's.

Recon Drone FTW.

KERSPLAT! · 21-11-2011 10:22PM

Lag was a joke for the few games of GW I played earlier. Showed us all on 3-4 bars but for half the match we couldn't run in straight lines, reload or bloody shoot people!!! :mad:

Mr. Manager · 22-11-2011 12:54AM

I'm so close to giving up on this game. For the past 4 years I've bought and played nothing but COD but this one is really getting on my tits.

They need to sort the lag issues.

They need to sort the matchmaking so I can play people other than the "Haze" clan every night.

As Cossax said, the Type 95 and FMG9's need to be nerfed.

They need to buff the shotguns and M16

They need to patch the glitch on Outpost

They need to sort out the host migration. It never took this long on Blops or MW2 so why is it taking forever in this one?

There's definitely a shít load of stuff I'm forgetting but this is just off hand. I'm going to give it a wee while more. At least wait until they make a big (good) patch an I'll take it from there.

Magill · 22-11-2011 01:01AM

Anyone else getting 1/2 second freezes alot on the ps3 ? Maybe its just groundwar but sometimes it'll freeze every 10 seconds or so.. really anoying. Sometimes i can barely move for up to 10 seconds cause it constantly stutters.

I can't imagine it being fps lag because other than that the game seems to be running at a high frame rate.

Other than this freezing bull****.. i rather enjoyed those few games playing on my own.

Mister Jingles · 22-11-2011 01:05AM

I've given the game two weeks to prove itself and tbh I'm not all that impressed with it.

Online game play is truly terrible, well for PlayStation anyway.

Not one game goes by where I don't get lag and I know for sure that its not my internet or nat types or anything like that.

Grenade launchers and the shotgun attachment are **** compared to any of the other COD games. It takes me at least two grenades to kill someone.

Maps are okay but not very sniper friendly.

Also find it very hard to survive after a kill or two. In any of the other games I could very easy get an average of 6 kill without dying but not in MW3.

The kill streaks are a bit all over the place I think. The support and assault thing is good but a game can be very easily ruined once somebody on the other team calls in an attack helicopter or pave low. I understand its the game but seeing attack helicopters is a more frequent thing here.

Like most people the only thing I can give credit to for this game is the campaign mode and special ops after that its just a typical call of duty game where they try make the best of multiplayer but end up ****ing it up instead.

Mr. Manager · 22-11-2011 01:57AM

Just got thrown into a game with the score at 6300-7400.

Another loss

Davidson2k9 · 22-11-2011 04:30AM

Another thing, buff extreme conditioning and make it unlimited sprint. Its a pointless perk otherwise to be fair.

redman85 · 22-11-2011 09:13AM

Spawns are fcuked.

Few times that I actually watch a killcam I can see them getting killed and then like a magic trick they appear right up my arse and kill me.

my expression goes from :rolleyes: to :mad: alot in this game.

who cares, people take the stats too seriously.

KERSPLAT! · 22-11-2011 10:12AM

Meh, I'm a stat whore. I check after nearly every match to see if acc, W/L, K/D etc have gone up or down, dunno why as they're pretty bad but I'd rather they not get worse :pac:

Besides the stats it takes long enough to find a game and then when you join its 1 kill and its over. Stupid

I honestly don't see a problem with that if used as a reference, though admittedly I'm a W/L whore and really despise any loss

I also don't like my K/D dropping as it's shows I'm playing poorly and I think deep down many people do take note of it even if they don't like to admit it

Doesn't matter the gun, gametype I fully expect to do well. In saying that, K/D is skewed by numerous factors - MW3 being a mess for many, a lot of people depending on using AC130's, and the like stat padders in Demo or Dom as well as running only in a party. Plus what Redman 85 said. So a pinch of salt is needed with regards to K/D, Youtube worthy scores/vids and even leaderboards which I've stated in the past. But I can relate to it not wanting it lowered.

I was frustrated though that after my first half a dozen games and I was nearer to holding double digit (no way I'd have hold that on my connection as it's usually dodgy enough) K/D though and suffered ****load of lag thereafter. Wasn't really in my control which the annoying that about that.

22-11-2011 02:01PM

I can't play publics on this. Got to 62 after 2/3 days and haven't been able to play more since, just so full of crap.
