The force was extremely frustrating in that match. lol

One thing I do like is being rewarded for shooting doing other things besides killing. I was running hardline in a domination match. Capped a flag, got 1 kill, shot down a couple UAV, and got a predator.. lol That's just hilarious.

Yeah, I love what they did with the streak system. It's the single biggest improvement.
 
Overall, the game is still really fun and quite balanced. Just wish lag comp weren't so obvious.

Support streaks are great for those that like to run n gun, and assault streaks aren't as deadly as they've been in the past. So, that's cool. When I run n gun, I like rolling with uav + cuav, and just spam it all day at the enemy. One thing is Assasin Pro is the cheapeast perk... no effect from emp or cuav. That's kind of bs. Whatever though, I just roll with assasin pro even on my run n gun class.
 
You can't seriously be calling me out yet again.

Yes, but not just for the sake of calling you out. You think it gets old to keep getting called out, I think it gets old to have to listen to you mindlessly make excuses for obviously apparent problems ad nauseum. You're a fanboy. We get it. Explaining how lag compensation works in response to a large consensus that this game lags significantly more than the others isn't helpful and doesn't fix whatever the root cause is. It's as if you think we're all perceiving lag because (you don't think) we know how LC works. One is unrelated to the other.

Except you're late to the party. I haven't said a word about it in days. Neither has pretty much anyone else until you dragged that shit back up. I know you can't resist being an asshole, but try, just this once.

Its unfortunate that some are having issues with lag. I hope it gets fixed to their satisfaction.

Maybe late by your standards, but I don't have the time or inclination to watch this thread like a hawk, so by my standards, I'm "fashionably late."

And just because I'm willing to call a spade a spade doesn't mean I'm an asshole. In fact, you're using far more pointed attacks than I am. Stop QQ'ing just because you don't like what you're hearing, whether that's people citing the game's unparalleled lag or me identifying you for the IW shill you are 😎

NOOOOOO!!!!

lol, glad I didn't waste a prestige token to unlock the striker. But damn, I was having fun using the extended mags + range for it.

Why the 😎?

If you are arguing with him, ditch the emoticons and say it like it is! Don't try to mask anything behind a smiley face with shades.

Yeah...seems like a lot of people are upset about this one. The striker was a bit ridiculous, but the shotties do need a bit of a boost.

As of late, you are the only one that is QQing dude.

Oh.. today is nerf day. I was wondering why the type 95 was still beast all weekend. Anyhow, i actually agree with the reduced hip firing spread for it. FMG akimbo was fun while it lasted. Good thing I abused the hell out of it over the weekend to test for nerf which I didn't find. I'll test them out again to see how bad they are tonight.. haha
 
I finally got around to getting mw3 and I gotta say, its very similar to the first two. No complaints here though, its a blast to play. I definitely am lacking in the multiplayer department, I die so much... rarely get a 1.0 k/d ratio, more like .4. 🙁

Any tips anyone?

Shoot the guys on the other team.

Keep playing.
 
What was wrong with the ACR/red dot sight that they had to fix? Anyways, I've moved past using the ACR and have been using the AK-47 the last couple of days.
 
Looks like today is nerf day.

I don't really even know what half of these cheats/exploits are. I know the CM901 one though. It's where for some reason you get a higher fire rate (or range?) if you put a grenade launcher or shotgun attachment on it, right?
 
I was wondering why the FMG akimbo felt unchanged over the weekend. I'll have to see if it's noticeable tonight. Don't really care all that much on that one. Tend to take other peoples guns after I kill them when I'm out.

Have had a few times though that I've spent all ammo from my primary and secondary and couldn't find any guns laying around fast enough so just started chasing people down and knifing them 😛

Was laughing my ass off chasing one dude in circles trying to get close enough to knife him.
