    I'm really losing heart with the online part of this. Love the SP and Spec Ops. I'm finding it difficult. I round a corner, aim down the sights at a guy and I'm blown away. It's infuriating, I have the drop but they hit me. I run support most of the time as I've no incentive to go for assault. I don't know if it's my net, I don't get lag or anything, but it's weak at times I guess.

    I like playing with Boardsies mainly as it's good fun and they're very good but compared to MW2 and Black Ops, I'm getting nowhere. I went back and played MW2 a few days ago and I was destroying everyone. Beneath the danger close, commando, OMA, it is a good shooter.

    My copy of MW2 clapped out two days - to be fair myself and the brother have probably loaded it up thousands of times. So I'll probably pick it up over Christmas again.

    Will keep trying MW3 but not feeling very positive about it.


    I kinda can relate at least in regards to making that jump from COD4 - MW2. I was a very good COD4 player and just didn't take that form into MW2. I was actually never moaning about video games till MW2 in fact! :pac: I can laugh at it now, but I was discouraged playing the game as I saw average, really average mates of mine thrive in it at the beginning of MW2 too. 48 hours post-release I returned to COD4. It wasn't until 2-3 months later that I started taking to the game more. Happens with some people. So crux of it is, don't force the game upon yourself. Easier said than done as I can only tell you. COD is a bit like self harm at times it must be said lol, more so than any other gaming series I've played.

    Really don't like posting in this thread 'cos I'm really enjoying the game but just to pick up on a point Ade made in realtion to COD being like self harm. I can totally relate to that. Played a game of kill confirmed on my own this weekend. Interchange. Came into the game late.

    Spawned... shot in the back. Respawn, see a guy turn a corner run after him....shot in the back. Respawn, chasing guy just have him and teammate kills him, me... suddenly get shot in the back. Respawn into a predator. Respawn, enemy UAV up take it down with stinger. Waiting for the thing to reload as enemy sniper comes around corner. Try switching to AK. There's a split second where I think "I've got him" when he quickscopes me in the face. I reckon I was in the game in under a minute and rage levels were stupidly high. It's not the game's fault or even me playing badly sometimes s*** just happens.

    I no I'm late in my megabitchiness bout the game but I only started playing it recently..

    my god the shotguns are shockingly bad.. Spas (which I delighted has been nerfed from MW2, waaay OP) is crap.. Most of the time I need to hits even at insanely close range to get the kill!

    Moreso the AA12 (the auto shotgun one) is a major fail.. I've shot the enemy in back twice with it at point blank and no kill!! :eek:

    Needless to say MW3 is making a happy hyper an anger hyper!!


    Even thou MW3 is such a better game than MW2 for positive (survival, new game types) and negative reasons (no more OMA, witching etc etc) its still such a disappointing game!

    Good point. I wasn't a fan of MW2 for a bit but I came to really like it. Same with Black Ops, wasn't a fan for a long while, then got 30 something levels in a few days but became fed up of it. Probably will give it time.

    Getting shot in the back and getting quickscoped is agonising!

    They're great fun! I'd love to get gold camo for them ! That said, I think they're rate of fire should be nerfed

    Blops is a far superior game, better maps, menus, perks etc. Newish to the ps3 scene and black ops was my first COD game (unless you count the ps2 games). Played MW2 and thought it was good but prefered Blops. MW3 is ****e compared to above 2 and just a rip off. Maps are all too similar with no variety really. Why is the sound through the headpiece **** when trying to chat with friends, anyone know? Most people I know go back to Blops when playing with each other. Oh and whats wrong with camping???!!! I mix camping with rushing, as most people i come across do and the amount of abuse is funny.

    Trying to join a friend's party for ages, and it never works. He can't join my party either.

    Very annoying...

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

    Allow me to respond to this post (having been banned for a week).

    Now, I enjoy games just as much as anyone else here. But what I expect in return for my hard-earned money is satisfaction as a consumer. For this, I have as much right to vent my grievances and to espouse the better of the two games. I remember when a sequel to a franchise meant innovation, advancement, the correction of the last one's faults and short-comings. This is a different era of gaming it's clear to see.

    First of all - as we're Irish, we're at an immediate disadvantage given our random geographical location. Why? Because compared to a high speed internet connection in the States or the UK, we're asked to pay through the nose for a mediocre slower service. In addition, the game is only released three weeks and already we're onto our forth major patch! What this means is that the programming was not completed when this game was shipped. Therefore, it is an unfinished game. To make matter worse, they had to revert back to an older patch version because the new update was even worse than the original!

    Now, how many times have people gone online in the early hours and got a game straight away? The reason the official MW3 forums are exploding with complaints is because IW/Raven/Sledgehammer introduced a absolutely ridiculous geographical lock system. This means that Irish people can only play Irish people, British people can only play British people and so on and so forth. This is particularly disgraceful for countries and States with a small population as you playing the game literally depends on other people in your country being online at the exact same time! The matchmaking has been horrendous for me because there are not many Irish people online to play at 2am! I bought Xbox Live for the sole reason of playing people across the globe...why on Earth would I purchase this service to only play people from my area code?

    But what about getting into an actual game....how is it then? Have you heard about the Lag Compensation System? You know the one which was introduced to give everybody a "fair chance", even though the system is deducting your internet service and downgrading it to match the other players, OR slicing your speed in half and giving it someone else! Which means YOU'RE PAYING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO PLAY THIS GAME! Why should you be punished because you have a decent broadband? I know everyone has experienced this - it happens when you get shot at and it seems that only one bullet has killed you. (In reality, you're moving slowly in their killcam). This means, that you're not playing the live game in real time. You're literally a couple of milliseconds off the live game, hence why you're not doing what you could be doing or even realise your true potential.

    I think my grievances are legitimate. Activision have released an unfinished game! It's not fully programmed.

    I have standard eircom 7mb on wireless and I find games instantly and only get lag if the host is crap.

    Bitch: New FFA/TDM spawn system, spend half the time making sure that guy you just killed isn't behind you.

    That's one of the primary reasons why I have stopped playing the damn game. Bunch of no-skilled idiots running around just shooting at will, looking in the general direction of where an enemy is, gets a few kills. ****ing stupid.
    see this is what they have made the series IMO. Activision have made a fast paced game with fast weapons, lots of mods and perks and rubbish maps that just promote either camping or rushers cause they are tiny.

    I love BF more for different reasons but I really like this game for rushing and just rackin up the kills. Im not in that bunch you speak of :rolleyes:

    was playing mtdm in carbon and we were kicking the other teams ass.Only 1 player was above 20 kills on the other team and the rest all had negative k/d and then,the last 2 minutes of the game they all started calling carepackages.the feckers had 2 pavelows in a row and we lost 7300 to 7500.

    Noticed something similar in a domination earlier.

    The killstreaks were raining in, relentless waves of air support etc. Looked at the scoreboards and most of the other players were going negative. Didn't add up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,844 ✭✭✭NufcNavan


    It's fascinating to see that amount of people who use up two perk slots in mw3 for what they got in 1 perk in Bops. Ghost over-dependence much??

    i worked it out and unless i missed something there was no way the other team were getting enough of a killstreak going to warrant a care package .Im talking like 5 carepackages 1 after another.

    in fairness i havent seen it since but......

    Could very well be a glitch, but is there any chance that it was an Escort Airdrop? Support killstreak, 18 kills: "An AI controlled version of the Osprey Gunner killstreak. It drops Care Packages and also defends them."


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Care packages are ridiculous. 4 kills in a row - AC130 - bye bye win streak

    Ah come off it.. It only lasts like a minute and with the maps on MW3, so built up, the AC130 is a pile of horse shît, so easy to take down too!

    right so .. i have had it with MW3 i think it is the worst of the COD series . Back to black ops for me . My only regret is i bought the hardened edition . Last COD game i buy . getting to old anyway :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,619 ✭✭✭LaVail


    Having played for over 48hrs now all I can say is its a steaming pile of ****e. Worst cod of all time no signs of getting better. Played my last lag filled game a few mins ago. Sick of spawns, worthless hit detection, playing with 5 other campers on my team so basically trying to win a game of domination on my own.

    Region matchmaking is also pissing me off. Back to black ops now because at least I know where I stand with that game i.e if you are on a three bar it plays like a three bar not like MW3 where a 4 bar plays like a 1 bar at times.

    Haha, I must have dropped into that same team last night. Playing 5 on 5 Domination in Resistance and everyone else on my team was sitting camping in the store with windows looking out at B, except one guy who was keeping an eye on the back door.

    Even though we had lost both other points (A and C), they wouldn't fcuking move. They had they no concept that the the opponent didn't need B to win as they were outscoring us 2-1? So after spending the first half of the game trying to take flags on my own (3 at point A and 2 at point C), I decided to change class to get concussion grenades. I spent the rest of the game teabagging in front of my own team, throwing concussion grenades and meleeing them.

    Honestly, no matter what game mode I'm in, most people will avoid taking flags, stop collecting tags and stay hiding in their corner to get their perks and K/D stats.

    Rediculoso.

    Having said all that, almost no lag last night.
