Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Tried freshly installed Infinity 2 on this today strangely it didn't pull host that often even though it is a full strength 80/20 connection. Shame I couldn't get used to my mates worn pad and slightly smeary 32" Sony LCD TV.

It seemed like the upside was better and the downside was no worse than my current connection. I think I'm going to order mine tonight.
 
I seem to be only ever able to get into games of 100ms ping or above. Am I also being lag compensated when playing in these lobby's? Is this why I get insta-deaths constantly and crazy bullets around corners and hit markers?
 
Finally get into a 50ms lobby and its a lag compensated mess. I don't get it, you aim directly at them, fire and nothing happens, but you don't insta die, other times you aim slightly away and get a head shot and don't insta die. In 100ms plus lobbies you aim directly at them, get loads of hit markers before they've seen you for them to turn around and insta kill you.

For the most part I dont seem to have all the problems people constantly seem to. Just had a nice game where I went 20-2 playing the objective on DOM waltzing around with someones mk14 holo silenced and it worked pretty well.

Sometimes games feel like Im shooting marshmallows - those are the games Im stood at right angles to the players vision so they cant shoot me first! Definately switch from smgs to assault in those cases and it seems to work better.
 
Why do some shotguns seem so hit or miss, currently using the KSG i was running around with steady aim to improve my -from the hip shots but even scoring headshots at close range was still needing 2-3 shots to kill ppl and yet from close to mid range a body shot was a 1 shot kill, had to switch to using the sights and running sitrep and switching to HC seemed to solve the 1 shot kills ( just left with 3 sniper rifles and 2 shotguns to get all guns at 500 + kills and mastery titles)

Also on a side note why does it take 2 shots from the Saw ( sp?) to take out a heli but only 1 from the stinger when they have exactly the same stats ( has bothered me since i got the game)
 
There is no head shot multiplier for shotguns so you're at the mercy of the randomness of pellet spread. I think you need 3 pellets in this and MW2 was 2 pellets plus you could shoot at what you saw more reliably.

One is a guided missile so I guess they just factor that it would hit a critical area. SAW and a few bullets does the job though.
 
Shotguns in MW2 did more damage by default then the MW3 shotguns that have damage on, so there is your reason for MW3 shotguns being so hit and miss, also the MW2 shotguns could then have stopping power applied on top which put them on steroids :p

Comparing the MW2 & MW3 Spas-12
MW2 = 40-20 (56-28), 2-4 out of 8 pellets to kill
MW3 = 30-15 (42-21), 3-5 out of 8 pellets to kill

I'm not sure, but I think the MW2 Spas has a tighter pellet spread as well allowing you those insane longshots half way across the map :p
 
The SPAS-12 in MW2 was awesome. I had silly amounts of fun with it on maps like Favela.
I don't know why they chose to reduce the power as well as make them primary weapons. It made them pointless really.

Each to there own

USAS 12 - 2.18KDR on that weapon alone according to elite .............

The shotguns are a perfectly viable primary if used on the correct maps.
 
I wouldn't say they're to easy to get. Maybe for good players but the usual idiots won't get many. Also if you get killed by them quite often just use blind eye and hope some idiot team mate doesn't run towards you.

What makes me laugh is there is _so_ much grenade spam on this and you get killed by nades which come from nowhere.

How so? It's not like Black Ops with Warlord Pro, Scavenger Pro and more powerful nades to begin with.

I do hate the predators though I virtually always had cold blooded on in MW2 as an occupational hazard of playing with randoms, but Blind Eye Pro in this is not such an easy choice. You can shoot down a lot of stuff faster with Sleight of Hand Pro and Quickdraw.
 
was playing domination last week and it was terrible,i couldn't shoot anybody felt like my gun was bouncing when trying to aim and i could never drop somebody when we turned a corner and both seen each other at same time,but last night i couldn't do anything wrong,i could walk in front of somebody and they blast the **** out of me yet i could take my time and kill them.I cant work out why one day you feel like the game is against you then the next you know for a fact you have a unfair advantage

I feel dirty using ak47 suppressed with assassin pro, but it gets kills. I should add blind eye for ultimate cheapness.

That's ok, earlier I was rolling ak47 with suppressor & baby monitor with assassin pro... Cheap +1

I was doing the AK attachment challenges so had 40 kills with the thermal scope to deal with later. Still, if I don't get in a lobby with foreigners the game plays alright for me (apart from all the BS that has been discussed over and over in this thread).

I've noticed this too.

Its not even some games, its some players.

I can be in a game, and there are certain people who are too far ahead of me in game. They can come round corners, spot me, react to me, shoot me and kill me all before i've even had chance to pull the trigger.

This is usually when going round corners etc.. when the fact they are above me really shows. One guy today went from my right in seatown on the road, to the left up the stairs to that campy building everybody goes in. Turn left to shoot at him and he's warped back to the right as i pull the trigger !! player positioning was totally out.

But it will be just that one person in the game. I'll come across others in the same game i can kill no problem.

I've come to the conclusion that this game just doesnt do well trying to match up foreigners in the same lobby. Get a lobby full of UK people and everything seems to go fine.
 
Agree with that, I always get into spanish, french or german lobbies. It can't be that hard to code it so it throws me in UK lobbies, they can look at IP address surely.
