Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

I never thought I would see the day where I got hit markers in hardcore at knife range with a shotgun that has damage on it... Even the maths of it doesn't make sense, surely if I get a hitmarker it means atleast 1/8 pellets connected and the damage of each pellet is around 40 and your health is 30 in hardcore so surely it must be a 1 hit kill.

The only thing I can put it down to is the game being so horribly out of sync like usual and it's giving me false hitmarkers when on the hosts xbox I was already dead =/ Then again I was still having to take a second shot a good few times with certain shotguns even when I didn't die.

I checked earlier and it appears that I do have the match saved to my HDD even though he did dashboard it, I thought it didn't save the films when the host dashboards it but apparently it does.

It's nothing special though, mostly just him creeping around the same section of the map with Sitrep Pro and me moving from corner to corner until I find out where he is, it really was dull because it was just a case of who ever makes noise first would have been killed. I couldn't even climb over a wall or up a ladder without him knowing exactly where I was and I had no chance of finding him because he made sure he was crouch walking everywhere when he thought I was close by.
 
I could say the exact same about Blind eye, Assassin and Dead Silence, they slow down the game just as much in games like 1v1 or S&D when you've only got one life, because you're sat wondering where the hell they could be and they're usually sat in some obscure corner just waiting for you to walk past.

When I tried 1v1 face of for the first time that's exactly what happend, the guy had all 3 stealth perks with a silenced weapon and he was sat in every corner in existance on that map, 5 minutes in and the score is only 3-2.
 
Perhaps, although at least with dead silence people could play a rush style, now its countered by sit rep pro it tends to not happen so much and you have to crawl around the map in the quiet modes.

No perk set-up is going to be perfect. I think they should have it that if you sit still too long you automatically appear on the radar - would work ok in core modes.

I tend to play groundwar mostly so its not too bad, lots of people dont use assassin in that even with uav/auav spam.

Campers always going to camp of course.
 
I understand where you're coming from completely, but Dead Silence and Ninja from MW2 were never mean't to be completely undetectable, Sitrep Pro was always mean't to cancel it out and since MW2's launch the quiet footstep perk has been bugged and they've only just got around to fixing it after more then 2 years (it's still bugged in MW2 though obviously).

It's annoying getting soundwhored by someone using Sitrep, but people find it equally annoying going up against people with all the stealth perks who are completely undetectable, all you have to do is look at Black Ops and all the rage about everyone using Ghost. Yes the SR-71 does show them, but how often are you going to get an 8 killstreak against a full team of Ghost users with silenced weapons? It's possible, but it's a huge pain in the ass and usually involves using the Ghost/Ninja perk combination yourself.

I'd prefer it if they just removed Blind eye, Assassin, Dead silence, Sitrep Pro, Heartbeat sensor, motion sensor and all the killstreaks, but they want the game to be accessable to new players and all the 'Pro' players can't do well without their crutch.
 
Indeed which is probably why barebones is less popular than the other modes. I dont like people who ninja themselves up and sit in corners, though I do run assassin 99% of the time because other players like playing pacman! I tend to be the player wondering why I'm claiming a dom point solo.

Most of the time if I try to go for killstreaks I do worse than playing my normal game. Maybe they will evolve killstreaks and perks for the next gen (yeah right!). Black ops 2 is undoubtedly going to be very similar. :/

Specialist was a great change in MW3. It's all I ever use now.
 
It's going to be interesting now I have 100Mbps to see what kind of mess the game becomes in those extreme situations you are placed in poor lobbies. Hopefully it wont be much worse.
 
Looks like the LMG's have been nerfed on the PS3 in a hotfix with damage drop off possibly in error, but if the report is right they're different stats than before which is a bit ominous.

It does nothing for gaming if you were previously on a VMNG300 it's more like a downgrade.

It seems like the best thing you can do with a Superhub is run it in modem only and get another router if you haven't already.

I get royally bent over regularly on my 120Mb connection. I do far better when I cripple my connection.
