Bring back the 2v2v2(v2) mode from Halo!

It needs lives not kills as the score though to stop morons winning it

But you just know there'll be a perk where you're invisible to that scope.

That's true and it's also one thing that annoys me about COD. I hate having to use up a perk slot(or 2) just so i'm visible to the enemy team all the time :mad:

I hate that too, but I run Specialist quite a lot in MW3 so it isn't much of an issue.

Specialist is pretty awesome. I hope they bring it back.
But if you don't use it then you HAVE to use ghost/cold blooded/assassin to hide from UAV's going up every 10 seconds. Really UAVs should be a higher killstreak.

just get rid of kill streaks full stop. no balancing issues whatsoever then.

biron_w · 9 Aug 2012 at 10:23

Even though i'd be happy for them to get rid of killstreaks we all know that'll never happen.

I can't say I'm interested. Campaign maybe but the multi-player is just too similar. I liked WaW though so you could say I prefer the world war weapons and "effects" where if a grenade goes off near you, chances are you lose an arm. Shame COD lost that effect..unless anyone noticed it in the MW's?

Does anyone know if they've increased the damage of weapons so people die quicker? Got sick of hearing hit markers in Black Ops because people seemed to be bullet sponges, i'm hoping Black Ops 2 won't be the same.

antijoke · 9 Aug 2012 at 16:44

I played it (Black Ops) last night straight after MW3 and that drove me insane the amount of hitmarkers I got to drop people. Especially some French ******* who sponged my bullets.

I hope they have buffed the weapon damage.

biron_w · 10 Aug 2012 at 01:09

It does take quite a few bullets to kill people in Blops.
Going from that MP trailer it looks like the damage has been quite a lot.

oldbag · 10 Aug 2012 at 07:30

Tbh, blops is a better game than mw3 because there appears to be the ability for me to kill people and not get offed in one shot constantly. This does happen in blops but not as often.

biron_w · 10 Aug 2012 at 18:48

Plus in Blops you can usually find a decent lobby and providing the host doesn't leave then you can just stay in it. Whereas you always seem to swap lobbies in MW3.

And in Blops the following happens way less:

1. A map loads up only to dump you out immediately
2. You get dumped into the last 15 seconds of a game on the losing team.

finite · 12 Aug 2012 at 15:03

The last two have little to do with the game and more to do with the behaviour of players and number of sessions.

Splash screen to lobby is when someone has jumped out at the scoreboard and you're just too late to see it.

oldbag · 12 Aug 2012 at 16:59

Will there be prestige tokens again?

biron_w · 12 Aug 2012 at 19:04

On Wednesday there's going to be some live streaming of this game from Gamescon. No idea what time though. Can't wait to see this game running properly.
*edit*
Looks like the MP live stream will be from 5pm on wed.

I'm not sure about this loadout system highlighted by the mostlyusemeblade class. Spawning with a perk laden class and nothing to lose could be as irritating as the kids on Marathon Lightweight Commando in MW2.

It looks like the rumours were true about each class having a certain amount of points to spend. I'm quite happy with that as I only really need 2 perks when i'm playing.

*edit*
If you watch this video at 3:30 it points out that you get 10 points to spend on your loadout for each class.
