Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

I love abusing sitrep pro.

I was proper winding someone up with it last night, everytime I crept up on him and killed I got called a dirty bitch. :D
 
Haha, new patch. Game unplayable surprise surprise. Death in one shot everywhere. You'da thought they'd improve with each tweaked lag compensation release.

It's not the last few days, it's been like this since the game came out.

The connections were also made worse back in May when the Face off update came out, since they did something to screw with match making. The 'tweak' was meant to find more local lobbies based off of the party leaders connection rather then taking the average ping of everyone in the lobby (but they couldn't even get that right), so we're getting matched up with Spanish, German, French, Itailians and even Canada/America (I got dropped into a South African lobby the other week as well =/).
People are complaining that they can no longer get into <50ms lobbies anymore? I just wish they could come and try my connection since I don't get any lobbies until atleast <150ms.

(Hopefully) The plan is for them to release a patch on the 21st which is mean't to sort the matchmaking issues out (NOT the sync issues we've had since launch i.e "Lag compensation" as people like to scream). If you're hoping the connections will become like CoD4/MW2 before Black Ops 2 comes out then don't hold your breath because they don't have a clue what the issue is and they've already heavily hinted that they won't make any drastic changes/improvements because they don't want those on the good side of "lag compensation" to suddenly start getting crapped all over by those with decent connections.

Which is complete and utter **** IMO, since if your average joe can't be arsed to sort out their network/tweak their line to get the best possible connection for themselves then why should I have to suffer because he's paying £5.99 for his congested TalkTalk connection? As a result he becomes Neo and starts avoiding your bullets while teleporting across the screen.

It is a bit I think, i think on the ps3 the decent players are getting less as all I see now are campers hiding and prone.

Does not help with all the hit markers you get when shooting , ie shooting someone with M16 from a few feet away and not killing them , they just turn around and kill you with 1 single shot , even go hit markers with predator missiles . When back to MW2 yesterday for a change , far better i would say , wish i never bother upgrading to Elite now . . .
 
Lol hit marker with a predator? That's bad. Yeah get the death in one shot thing. It seems that each time they release a patch it gets worse and just before the release it's ok.

Going to hold off black ops 2 and see what happens before I consider buying it.

I doubt Blops 2 will be this bad. I just think this game is a horrible mess because of IW getting split up when West & Zampella left.

I'm on TalkTalk :p
I actually got TalkTalk to change a few things on my connection to see if it'd make the game better. Tried going from interleaved to fastpath ect and nothing made any difference to my game. Eventually I decided against having my connection gimped just for one game.

It depends on whether they pitch it for the noobs (to shift more units) by filling it with easy to get kill streaks (uav, cuav, chopper gunner, reaper, etc) and death streaks (plus bs last stand), how they deal with quick scoping, camping or not camping maps, gun balancing and 'lag compensation issues (e.g **** connection rules).

Black ops was on the right road with making it a bare shooter. Mw3 is a toned down mw2 which was full to the brim with bs (oma, tubes, death streaks, crazy grenades and claymores).

If they want to revive the franchise they will make it feel like a new game and not a map pack. People will buy it though and then mw3 will be the best cod, rinse and repeat.

Blops IMO is a much harder game to be good at than MW2 or MW3.
All the kids cried about not being able to QuickScope in Blops but Treyarch didn't cave into them. I'm kinda hopeful Blops 2 will turn out ok.
 
Well I hope the patch that might come out on the 21st doesn't **** it up for me.

Since getting my connection upgraded to 100Mbps with Virgin the game has been awesome for me. Very little BS going on and I seem to be getting dropped into mostly UK lobbies.

I guess it helps that I get chosen as host pretty much everytime now, but things have been working pretty well for me the last few game sI have played.

If it ***** up again after the 21st I will be disappoint.
 
So the only way to have decent game on this is to get a 100 meg connection?! Maybe they should put that as minimum requirement on the box?
 
I don't know if it's that or a combination of having that connection coupled with whatever fixes/changes they have recently made.

The thing is it's obviously good for other people too because if I stay in a lobby everyone else stays as well, there are very few drop outs.

The first game I played after getting it I stayed in the same lobby with 90% the same people for about 3 hours.

I haven't tried it out with a party at all yet, just playing on my own, so in a party it could be total ****, but it will be worth trying it out with a group.

That was one of the main problems with this game. It would gimp the host so they'd always rage quit or when you did find a decent host it would choose another one the next game and you'd end up quitting.
That's one thing I missed from MW2 - finding a good host and just staying in the same lobby.
