Dashboarding means closing the game. Hit X button select Xbox Home and leave the vane entirely not just the match. It used to prevent someone from getting a loss on their stats.

Bonus points if you're the host and you make the whole match die.

I agree digiram! This game is getting annoying to play. I would say over half the games I play are me entering a team where everyone has quit or starting out on a team where everyone ends up quitting.

What is really annoying about all that is when you are playing Sabatoge or S&D and you lose the first round, half your team quits, when you could have stood a strong chance of winning the second round. I don't understand why they just give up. It annoys me to no end.

Six I'd join you but I've got a full evening of cooking and painting tonight...been pretty busy lately :/ I am thinking i'll be done with all around 10:00pm or so. if you're up around then i might be able to sneak a few games in. my lady usually just plays skyrim when i play the Duty :) so it isn't a bad V Day for her at all :p (we don't really celebrate it anyways)

HC Domination? How does that work, given all someone has to do is get a couple bullets off at you and bam, no flag for you?

Lots of teamwork and hoping you have a bunch of your friends on a party with you to minimize the chances of having some noob teammates who go running after the C flag when the rest of your team is easily holding down A and B flags. ;)

Camp a flag and make smoke bombs your very best friend.

You dont have to stay on the flag once its capped. Just hang out around it and wait for easy kills.

In DOM the trophy system is your best friend.

Trophy is easily my favorite toy in MW3. If I'm holding down a spot (camping), I don't want your silly nades to ruin it. Actually, maybe they should give us tents in the next COD.

I admit I've been playing a lot of TDM lately. I need to get into a streak of demo or HQ and play with the trophy more.

Agreed. Once I discovered trophy, I use it on all objective games. I think I should get extra points for saving my teammates from grenades and predators.

I hate getting killed by my own trophy. Or even worse when I have it down and still get killed by the tube or nade. But I laugh so hard when someone tries to drop a pred on me and bam, nothing!

Yeah stopping a predator is the best feeling. That thud sound sounds like "DENIED" to me. However, you have to get it down quick and hunker down right by it. For some reason, it's really picky and I get killed by the predator at least half the time.

More people quitting games, and more getting dropped into games where I am one of four new players.

Don't you hate it when you're blocked by the enemy trophy though? I was so happy to see 4 -5 red dots once, dropped my pred, and pfff... dam it.. haha.. They got me

Yeah...the first few times it went poof I had no idea wtf happened. But that's part of what makes mw3 so good...everything has a counter.

But I love it while playing dom and you get +2 trying to take a point without the trophy. Nothing like a solid multi semtex to ruin their plans. I dont know how many double and triple kills I get from this.
