Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

ive had a couple of days play out of this (prestige 1 - lvl 60+) but im throwing in the towel, im not going to come ranting about how this is a terrible game because it isn't its a very good game i just don't enjoy it as much i have the previous ones, one game im 20-5 next im 5-20 there is just no consistency with either me or the game (ive been fine on all other COD's though :()

i don't know if im off back to blops (i still miss nuke-town) or giving Battlefield 3 a shot as i always try to keep an online shooter in my collection most of the time but i think ill finish Skyrim and Batman AC first.

im going to do the decent thing now and remove my subscription to the thread and leave the people who like to game to play as i know there are a few that like to voice how much they dislike the game repeatedly just to get a rise

enjoy ill be back for Blops 2 or whatever is next :)

FFA makes it worse due to the fact that every player is out to kill you. In TDM if somebody spawns near you there'll be a slight delay trying to work out if they're friend or foe,in FFA you just open fire straight away.

No the problem is that in FFA people spawn all over the place. In TDM each team has a single spawn which can change under certain conditions so unless you die exactly as the spawns change (or you're spawn trapped) you will be with your team. Equally, if you know where the enemy are spawning (which is easy, there are only 2 or 3 spawns per map) you know which direction danger will be coming from. In FFA it can come from anywhere.

Looks like the perfect connection to me :p

funny thing is that it is not bad enough to rinse everyone so you have some untouchables and then others who can't touch you makes the experience terrible.

I guess if I streamed something at the same time then it would drop in to that untouchable grade but I don't even have enough bandwidth on youtube to stream 360p atm constant buffering.

It's happening far to often now and the fact that there is no unbundled isp's in my area make it worse I want to jump ship but have no idea who to go to.

did one of those tests earlier, get ping: 20, 32.31 mb/s down, 4.15 mb/s upload, is that good or bad, or what? :confused:

That's a very decent connection if your UK based. I get 38/8.5 ping sub 20 on BT infinity and the only thing plugged into that connection is my xbox... As I've said previously it seems the latest patch has really sorted out my issues with the game.
 
can never tell, use Virgin Media and seems to be ace on my PC but a lot of the time suffer from lagging in MW3, though that is probably due to a bad host or something right?
 
I've not used a virgin connection so can't comment but I believe some areas are over subscribed which causes problems with their service at peak times.

Pre-patch I know finite would really suffer if I pulled host so I would assume he had a really good connection to me. Not played with him post patch but would be interesting to find out if his game has improved when I pull host.

The ump is pretty good. The mp5 isn't.

MP5 is much better at close range (the range at which you're supposed to be using an SMG). The UMP is more like an assault rifle, except a little better close range and a little worse long range. Almost like half way between an assault rifle and a normal SMG.

They're both "good". Your playstyle, and the map, determine which one you do better with.

How is the UMP a little worse at range it's damage drop off is terrible compared to an assault rifle actually requiring 6 (19HP) bullets to kill compared to 4 couple that with the slow rate of fire and I have no idea why anyone would run with it all day.
 
Yeah the starting SMG's are so bad at range and average close up it's just better to use the Scar on Quickdraw until the PP90M1 is unlocked. Assuming it hasn't been touched in the hotfixes the Scar-L 3 bullet range is <32m it doesn't go to 5 bullets until <41m. That is 160>240ms kills on a massive range that you can actually use with it's tighter recoil pattern.

10ms very close up is all you give away to the MP5 and you could always use a machine pistol secondary to negate that.
