ah blops is more like MW1 then...MW1 was pretty raw and skilled game..I hated MW2 as it was OTT...perks, kill streaks, guns, quick kills, etc..plus i didnt like the maps.

Black ops I have on my ps3 maybe ill try it out..whats some good maps and guns?

Fave maps on Blops are Summit, Firing Range, Nuketown (good only for TDM), Grid, Launch, Radiation and Villa. But there aren't really any maps which are terrible. Array can be kinda annoying sometimes if the enemy gets a chopper gunner, or if there are lots of snipers. My Blops class was:

Aug with dual mags
Ballistic knife (not essenetial, I just found it really fun)
Semtex
Concussion
Claymore
Lightweight (have another identical class but put ghost here, for when the enemy are raping you)
Sleight of Hand
Marathon

For killstreaks either go UAV, Counter UAV, Blackbird. Or if you have ghost on, UAV, Blackbird, Chopper Gunner.

Aside from normal TDM etc, the wager matches are amazing fun in Blops.

well thats good snipers pi$$ me off tbh.

Fav maps on MW1 are prob medium size but if you havent played them no point to say or compare..but maps like ambush, crossfire, backlot, strike and crash and district etc..really i have never seen any mpas on this quality since..

Snipers **** me off too. Blops got the balance perfect, regarding ADS time. It was enough to stop quick scoping, but the maps were large and open enough that snipers were still useful.
 
Is anyone else finding the game a bit of a grind until you get to level 50 and get the ACR? Every other gun seems to be as effective as a toothpick.

Amen to that. The number of people walking round using a sniper rifle like a rail gun is ridiculous.

Also, Blops>MW>MW3>WaW>MW2

G36 with kick is better than the ACR over all ranges (it's the fastest killing automatic AR). Stick a red dot on it though, the irons are horible.

The M4A1 is good if you really need pinpoint accuracy and don't have the ACR yet, but it doesn't kill very fast at range. If you're REALLY bothered about the ACR, just use a prestige point on it?

The ACR's not that good in my opinion. For long range, the MK14 is much better, and for close range, nearly any other assault rifle is better.

Weapons also do less damage so if someone shoots you in the ass you can sometimes turn and kill them, if you're fast and they're terrible. This isn't the case in the MW games. Even if the guy's a bad player, you're dead before you can do anything about it 99% of the time. It's these things which IMO make Blops more a game of skill, and MW more noob-friendly (luck can get you more kills).

I have no idea why but I found it the other way around, I can get "winged" in the MW games and still come out on top but in blops I die straight away. Plus there is that weird aim assist thing in the game that to me feels like you trying to put two similar pole magnets together, funnily enough I was talking to Finite about it the other night and he knew what I meant by that last statement.

Black Ops was the noob friendly game due to the compensation at times giving players with 0.4 KDRs and just horrible stats top to bottom Carte Blanche.

Yes the famous Black Ops aim resist.

don't worry, not the only one! didn't really like Black Ops full stop to be honest, it wasn't as good as any of the Modern Warfare series for me (second is best).

the thing that is ruining Modern Warfare 3 is quick scopers, they are like an absolute disease in the game, every single last match I go into there are numerous people running around with that bolt action rifle killing in one shot, not even getting into the scoped view, its freaking pointless. this is probably because there are no sniper friendly maps on MW3, unlike Wasteland and such on MW2, but seriously quick scoping needs seriously looked into because it ruins the game. in no way shape or form should someone with a long, heavy and ungainly sniper rifle be able to instantly kill a person with a lightweight personal defence weapon like a P90 at close range.

another problem is the akimbo machine pistols, which are equally pointless. people running around with two FMG9 pistols just murdering anyone and everyone they meet, regardless, there is no skill involved its just spray and pray, rinse and repeat. most of the time if I get killed by a dual FMG9 moron in the kill cam they just panic and spray, but that kills you nine times out of ten.

those are the two things that spoil normal multi-player, but for hardcore, quick scoping is almost non existent, FMG9 abusers are still rampant and everyone camps, seemingly, was playing some team last night called H8U2 or something, the whole team was camping, there was no movement throughout the entire game from anyone on their team seemingly. just feels really bad and shallow to think they just sit their pointing at a door for the whole game, where is the enjoyment in that? it is like a cancer in hardcore mode, campers are the scum of hardcore!

final MW3 problem for me is pointless flash-grenade spamming in both hardcore and normal, the amount of times I get killed as a direct result of being flashed by my own team-mates in hardcore is unbelievable. also in normal game modes, enemy combatants just flash for the sake of flashing, it is terrible on Village where there are times when you cannot take a single step without being flashed...:(

Edit: to be honest would love to play MW3 for a bit without having bleeding aim assist, quick scopers would fail horrifically and it would be hilarious! where-as I do genuinely aim so would probably not suffer too badly.

Gashman, good post I agree with all that. QS = BS. I don't come across that many though, maybe 1 in 3 games. And most of the time, they are terrible at it so it doesn't really bother me. But it's still BS.

Well, it's sort of a fact that it was harder to kill people in Blops. You're right about the aim assist though, but at least in Blops you had the option to turn it off. No such option in MW3. It gets me more deaths than kills and ****es me off no end.

Are you joking? Lag compensation is 10x worse in MW3. In Blops at least if you were the host (which I almost always was due to having good internet) you had a virtually lag free game. Even if you weren't the host, it was still better than MW3 lag. I averaged a KD of about 2.2 in the last few months of Blops, but in MW3 I now average about 1.8, simply because there are so many more BS ways for noobs to get some kills off me.

Why the lol? The aim assist in Black Ops was very bad! Never have I played a game where my aim followed someone along/behind a wall!

Oh dear, how do you cope from going from a 2.2KDR to a 1.8 KDR?

I know it was bad, that's why I turned it off. I lol'ed at "aim resist".

Was I complaining? No. I was using it to illustrate a point. So sue me.
 
I hadn't mentioned MW3's lag compensation as it's in a state of flux and all the other games are final code in that area. Black Ops was the beginning of the end for full party play and MW3 if you can really call it that given the decimated IW and Sledgehammer influence maybe the end.

In Black Ops 19 bullet kills with the Famas at close range when playing in full parties was a regular occurrence. Second Chance was the full clip.

I guess you can expect them to cover the 80's and 90's. I'd rather wait until next gen really if I can still be bothered.
 
If the next game is another IW MW clone, I won't be buying. Not that I hate MW3, I like it, I just don't want the next game to be so similar to what came before. If treyarch make the next game and it looks good, I might consider it.
 
maybe ill just play blops rather than buy mw3 then?

Maps are as fun as MW1? no ott kill streak and perks
?

ANd is it worth to buy the DLC maps. I really like Kowloon single player adn saw it was DLC.

Still many players online on ps3?
