Possibly. It's all speculation for now. If their next game is on the next gen consoles then it will most likely use a new engine.

join the club. I traded Blops in for MW3 and then after about 2 months of frustration I traded MW3 back in for Blops :p
 
I forgot what the game gets like during the summer holidays (more then usual I mean)... I only wanted to play a few games to see what the new weapon buffs were like and I'm greeted by nothing but idiots hiding in corners on the enemy team and my team are the ones who have ADHD and they can't stop sprinting into gunfire all game. In case anybody is interested:

FAD - increased damage and range
M16A4 - increased damage and fire rate
AK47 - reduced kick
UMP45 - increased damage
MP5 - increased fire rate
PM9 - reduced kick

I've only had a chance to play with the FAD & AK47, but there seems to be a small improvement in both weapons.

I noticed the ump45 was much better too.

Is the downloadable update or just a change 'in game'?

It will just be a hotfix, but it will eventually get rolled into one of the patches since the hotfix system only has limited 'slots' for different fixes apparently.

No changes to the shotguns? :(

What do you care after going all incredible hulk on your game? ;)

This update was just for the under performing Assault rifles and SMG's, they won't even discuss shotgun balance so I won't hold my breath at them making any meaningful changes to them.

It will probably be the same, you're just probably noticing the lag adjustments they say they've made if you were playing TDM. When they say 'damage increase' they will be referring to it's minimum damage since the UMP45 already did 49 up close and 17 at it's maximum range, a 3-6 bullet kill (not counting head shots). All I can see them changing is making it a 3-5 bullet kill instead.
 
I tried the MP5. It did seem a bit better but it could just be a placebo affect for all I know! Nice to see a bit more weapon variety in game though. :)

My word the summer holidays are awful. I can only concur with whats been posted about corner campers and idiot team mates alas. :(

This has to be the worst CoD to date. And that's coming from a guy who's been around since the release time of CoD4 and played every one to date. Every game I go into my team seems to consists of a bunch of noobs who have no idea what they're doing. And as for the other team, the only time I'm ever killed is via bullets to the back, people 2/3v1ing me or people sitting in corners for entire rounds of SnD. Maybe the occasional 1v1 outgun if they're lucky. Every other CoD I've been able to play for hours upon hours and on MW3 I've only managed to play 2days worth online in almost an entire year. I get bored after around 30 mins of play because of how these things stress me out. The guns are hardly balanced at all, ACR, MP7 and PP90 are all incredibly overpowered. And as for equipment, they're just as bad. Who wants to be killed by a C4 that's flown round the corner because people are too scared to challenge you.
Another thing I absolutely detest is the IMS. I can't even comprehend how annoying it is when I hear the stupid noise that it deposits.
I went back the other night to play a bit of bops for fun and it was just that, I enjoyed it so much. Balanced maps, guns, killstreaks is like heaven.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Well it probably isn't any different, since people have been arguing with them for the past 24 hours as to whether the hotfix has even done anything and I thought this myself after quickly testing a couple of weapons after posting yesterday. Either the hotfix isn't working as intended or they've just made such insignificant changes that they may as well not have bothered.

People have been doing tests such as using a 40 damage LMG to shoot someone twice, then shooting them with a UMP45 from range (17 damage) and then using stun grenade to finish them off (1 damage per hit), it took 2 LMG bullets, 1 UMP45 bullet from range and 3 stun grenades (i.e 40 + 40 + 17 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 100 health). This test shows that the UMP45 in fact didn't receive a minimum damage increase, since it's still only doing 17 damage because it took 3 stun grenades to kill them.
