    I got sick of getting killed with deadmans hand so decided to put it on myself.

    You need to die 6 times in a row to get to use it. 6 TIMES!!!!!!

    I think some people die that much just to use it and piss people off

    Attack chopper, Overwatch and Pavelow called in and no one bothers taking it out! I really should have unlocked the Stinger, can't rely on teammates!

    Also 3 recon drones are called in, 47 assists and barely scrapping the win while being triple capped 4 times? Really? Really!? Facetothe****ingpalm.

    stuck this game on lastnight for about 30mins.

    3 lobbies of people spamming the striker and the fmj9's.

    There's zero gun skill needed in this game, much like mw2.

    Calling in a predator missile and then the host leaving, when the host migration is complete my predator missle is gone. This is happening so often now, not just to me but notice it in almost every game. I'm thinking this is being done on purpose....

    As far as i know i think it only works against projectiles i.e flashbangs/grenades,not missiles.

    Would it stop rpgs?

    It will and also Predators although if you are smart enough and dont give the trophy system time to react you might be able to use a lw.

    But def works against predators

    These forums truly do baffle me. I sold Black Ops after 2 months because it had so many ridiculous issues. On Black Ops I'd be given 1 bar on a foreign host, for no reason. I'd go back to an English host (in gaming terms we're taking this as non foreign), be on 4 bars, then 1 bar on spanish again. On every other cod I'd be on 3 bars. It seems everyone on boards either had incredible luck on Black Ops, or the last 9 months of it being fine has made you all forget about the 2/3 months post-release where the game was a disgrace.

    You come to a conclusion on black ops being no good after 2 months due to poor connection and sell it. After two months people are criticising mw3 about the poor connection and you defend it.

    Can you not see the obvious parallels in both games performances early doors? Can you see the hypocrisy you're displaying by abandoning one game and defending to the hilt a game constantly in the megabitch thread?

    Had you not sold black ops you would have seen a Lazarus like rise from the dead which changed the rubbish matchmaking into one of the best in the series.

    Treyarch won back a lot of gamers with it's superb backing of black ops and updates. Black Ops current search allows choice of locale, locale only and default; it's a remarkably good system considering how poor it was initially, MW3 with Sledgehammer and IW have a lot of ground to cover to match that.

    Double ****ing standards. The connection on this game is generally good too, since they patched it.
    The issue with this game is maps and spawns, one of which they just attempted to patch. The gun balancing/connection/matchmaking is one par or better than the other cods.

    Talking about guns balancing is a non-issue, I don't see the point in talking about spawns to bring weight to your argument, you're only obscuring talk on the main issue; the connection.

    How is everyone in a lobby of mw3 having 3 bars good? In other games in the series it was good, but now it's meaningless. How can you say it's on par or better other CoDs, because everyone has a communist connection, complete with propaganda?

    "Come Comrade, let us play mw3 on glorious 3 bar and not on 4 bar like those decadent non communists!" "Look how I convince people of the greatness of this game's connection by giving everyone 4 bars at the end of the game!" "Little do they know!"

    Other games in the series had flaws in connection but rather than address them head on during development by moving to dedicated servers, Mw3's makers chose a route that impacts everyone by basing the host connection on the slowest.

    Whilst it sounds noble it's one of the worst ideas in a series with more than it's share of bad fcuking ideas. Rather than impact 1 player, the game afflicts up to 17 others with shoddy connection. It's massively backfired, rather than have an idea of what the actual connection is.

    By and large the deciding factor in a player's performance after player skill isn't connection based but as far as I can tell it's random.

    If you're consistently 0.5 seconds behind what is actually happening in the game then with enough practice a player can adapt a style of play to cope with the deficit. If that delay varies between 0 and 1 second, it's impossible to adapt to such a random connection.

    You're only indicator for what the connection you're on at a given moment is whether you're on a 1,2,3 or 4 bar.

    The fact that the game portrays you're only yardstick with a near constant 3 bar for the lobby is even more aggravating than black ops which never fudged the numbers. You knew exactly what a 3 bar was on black ops/mw2/cod4/etc., mw3's 3 bar is a lottery. The lie makes it infinitely worse.

    This on a 50% wireless connection will give me 4 bars to good english hosts, 3 bars to bad ones, and 3 bars to all of mainland Europe. Though obviously theres a massive difference between a spanish 3 bar and an English 3 bar.

    That's ultimately meaningless, how your pc connects to a pingtest server isn't the same as how your console connects to various servers and then to a host. I could post players connections here of guys who have 20/100mb connection with UPC and still have 3 bars in local lobbies even in matches against Irish players.

    Im sticking with mw3 because the connection is better than it was on Black Ops at this stage last year, and because there is no Killzone game coming out, I sold Black Ops on Kz3 release.

    I'm playing devils advocate here because people seem to be losing the run of themselves, ignoring that Black Ops had similiar or worse issues and just remembering how good it was 4 months after release.

    You're saying the main issue is connection. I visit multiple competitive gaming forums a lot, the people who post there all play a lot more, and take it a lot more seriously than your average gamer and the concensus amongst these people is that the connection/hit detection is good (not quite mw2 good) since the patch, and ignoring T95/FMGs the guns are as well balanced as they've ever been. However, the maps on the game single handedly ruin it.
    So from my point of view and the point of view of the competitive community, the connection is certainly not the main issue.

    Now you have misconstrued by point about 3 bars. You somehow have taken me saying that 'I always get at least 3 bars' as the game lying and that Black ops giving me 1 bar was the truth. That is not how it has happened, Black Ops gave me 1 bar because at the point when I played it, Black Ops was broken. Mw3 gives me 3 bar when I'm on a mediocre connection, or a connection which is quite far away (mainland europe) but is certainly playable. It gives me 4 bar when I'm playing on good, relatively close connections, where there is little or no issues. What's wrong with that? That's exactly how it has been on every game except Black Ops on release.

    What is this random communist crap? Seriously, sort yourself out and actually read my posts correctly before you pick one thing out, misconstrue it, then go on a massive (and entirely random) rant about it. I think you are talking about lag compensation, which was in fact been removed from the game in a patch weeks ago.

    Yes the game has issues, so did Black Ops. It is something which I don't understand how gaming companies get away with; selling broken games on release. But you seemingly have Black Ops time, and look how that turned out. So perhaps you should give mw3 that time, they have attempted more patches/fixes than people expected them to.

    My posting here probably isn't going to make me Mr. Popular as I'm not afraid to disagree with somebody, but please actually read my posts correctly and take the entire post into account when replying.

    Compared to disaster that was black ops was on ps3 mw3 is ahead but comparing mw3 and black ops megabitch threads from the same time and you'll still see the same complaints for the different games.
    For black ops it's mostly connection issues, second chance and ghost campers and for mw3 it's connection issues, spawns and gun balancing.

    You talk about playing devils advocate yet sell a game in 2 months with flaws and choose to ignore or are oblivious to the flaws in mw3. That's not playing devils advocate.

    So just because they play competitively my concerns on the connection aren't valid? I couldn't give two bits what they think, this is my experience and you seem to say that the connection is near enough perfect. Competitive gamers are a tiny proportion of any community as large as CoD and developers should never bow to a tiny subset of players .

    You clearly have a massive blindspot for shortcomings in the game that is stopping you being objective. If you like do a poll and ask what peoples main concerns with mw3 are and see what the players concerns are, not your interpretation of posts read from the internet.

    No Call Of Duty game manipulates the connection and spins it. Any other game in the series said you were on a certain and you knew what to expect, MW3 isn't accurate.

    This is really the crux of it to me. You say give mw3 time (which of course I will) despite you giving next to none to black ops. You can't portray yourself as a devils advocate after not playing a game for 12 out of 14 months after it's release.

    You will never be mistaken for being impartial when you're defending a game (in the megabitch thread of all places) ad nauseum.

    I actually have no problems with the actual connection in MW3 (Nor did i have any with BLOPS besides some party issues and some random kicks during the initial few weeks after release).

    MW3 hit reg isn't good tho.. if you think thats good you seriously need to play some other games because its pretty bad imo! I think the fact it only takes a couple of hits to kill someone hides this a bit.

    The biggest difference between blops and MW3 at this stage is the amount of work treyarch put into the game ! IW + Sledgehammer are absolutely useless and their communication with the community is terrible for such a massive game.

    I honestly don't think its that bad a game... just quite boring, i really can't play it on my own without stopping after a game due to boredom. BLOPs i've probably about 9 or 10 days playing on my own. Also.. the snowy maps in blops are like playing in disneyworld compared to most of the MW3 maps ! So dull.....

    What flaws am I ignoring? The connection flaws which I haven't seen? You have said all of the other cod's 'bar system' is accurate and mw3's is not. That is quite simply bull****.

    There are plenty of flaws with this game, the maps are worse than terrible. The spawn system is dodgy. The invite/private game system is annoyingly broken. I'm not ignoring any flaws here.


    I am not impartial to this game, I don't even think its good. I just think your opinion about the connection is horribly horribly wrong.


    Read my posts fully or don't ****ing quote me, in my last post I clearly stated flaws with mw3 yet you 'choose to ignore' that. See what I did there :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 185 ✭✭Spike2010


    I've been getting the worst connections on this the last few days, 1 bar nearly every game. I'm bad enough on 4 bars but a 1 bar is near impossible to play on.

    Is there any way to block all incoming messages? I get around 40 invites a day to play infected...It's always the same story, some 12 year old sends a voice message "hosting infected lobby, ask for invite, blah blah blah"

    You can turn off notifications so nothing pops up, or you can set communication to friends only so no one else can message you apart from people on your friendslist

    So I went back to MW2 for a bit to see how things were. It was so freshing to play maps like Afghan and even wasteland. A bit of breathing space and wasn't getting killed right after I spawn!

    I actually did quite well in the matches and was using a silenced ACR. That gun feels better than the MW3 version of it.

    The only thing is, wow, the amount of quickscopers in it, and boosting. Pity, really cos the gameplay felt better than MW3. And I was called a pussy for using an ACR from a quickscoper.

    There aren't many campers in MW3, either. All too busy jumping off cliffs doing a 360 no scope. Even got an invite to a quickscope lobby in which you had to get your last kill on kill cam with a trick shot. Erm, no thanks, you knobheads.

    I used to accept the invites to qs lobbies, quickscope for the first round then whip out an rpg and start blowing the bejesus out of people, hilarity and abusive pms ensued :pac:

    ha exactly. "I did quickscope you...with an rpg" using a riot shield is a laugh as well, watching them frantically trying to qs you as you (slowly) run up and bury a throwing knife in their mush :pac: accepting an invite to boost and lay a TI, let them kill you and change class to something with c4 equipped, throw that down instead of a TI, kaboom. its even funnier if its more than one booster. ah MW2, it had its own minigames in booster headwrecking :D the 1v1 cage matches were a goldmine for making little noobs rage quit, theres some really funny videos on youtube, "theres someone in the gift shop" being one of the best.

    Yeah Im pretty much done with this game. When full game tdms dont get to 5000 points and Im running around calling in uavs still not able to find people somethings wrong. That combined with the second advantage everyone seems to have over me just ruins the game. Im going back to blops at least there people actually move

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    am I alone in thinking MW3 is the most balanced COD since cod4? I rarely ever see assassin pro users, maybe 1 a match, have never encountered a full team of them, cant remember the last time I got noobtubed, being quickscoped doesnt really bother me, akimbo fmg9s do.

    the only complaints I have with MW3 as a whole is the bad to good map ratio is too high and even on the good maps theres to much clutter and not enough good sightlines, and the spawns are wrecked. but I defintely dont get as stressed playing it as I did with Blops and MW2 with ghost campers and OMA noobtubers all over the place. overall I think its a good, if not spectacular game, its not terrible, its not amazing, its just solid.
