Is this anything new?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 02:14:42 GMT

Hey, wondering if I should get this game from a MP standpoint. Is there anything new and compelling, or is it the typical CoD garbage with people whoring OP weaps, exploiting dumb mechanics like the dropshot/dive, baby monitor camping, etc.?

Re: ELITE is a big joke

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 02:26:41 GMT

I totally 100% agree. I logged on today to see if it improved in the past few months, and it's every bit as craptastic as the day I swore it off. The developers should be ashamed of themselves; they are terrible, worthless programmers, and ruined one of the finest shooter franchises ever. I will not pay one red cent for any CoD title after the abortion that was MW3 and Elite.

Re: How often do you use C4?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 20:22:30 GMT

How often? Every single match, it's all I ever use in the lethal slot. It's the best option by far.

Stories? My best is a quad-kill on Hardhat in Dom. I also sometimes get into showdowns with people, run around the corner and toss some C4. When they give chase, *BOOM*. I've gotten good at hiding satchels by objectives so alert enemies or those using SitRep can't easily see them. A lot of times when I come upon a prone camping sniper, I'll just drop a satch on his rear end for grins >:)

Re: What is your 'try-hard' class setup?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 20:01:54 GMT

This is probably THE try-hardest loadout in the game. Except, I'd roll with a Portable Radar, and swap Hardline & QuickDraw.

Re: Great Double XP Weekend

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 19:36:00 GMT

40 to 40, an entire 'stige. Two hours of quad XP on kill confirmed, all the other time on dom. Ran specialist the whole time.

Re: Double XP Weekend + Clan Double XP + Prestige Coin Double XP = 6X XP

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 12:53:02 GMT

2 x 2 = 4

4 x 2 = 8

so, actually 8x XP. go nuts.

Norway gunman "trained" on MW2

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 12:51:14 GMT

Word out of the Breivik trial today that he trained for his gun rampage using Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Likely the No Russian mission, right? If it were multiplayer, he would've based his attack on the OMA/DC/Pro Pipe setup rather than actually, you know, shooting people. Sick to think I could've been playing a MP game with this guy.

Re: Call of Duty Dying?

The franchise is dead to me after the colossal disappointments that Black Ops and MW3 were. But what really put me way over the edge was getting so ripped off on ELiTE. Unforgiveable; I'm out. I don't care if BO2 is the Jesus of video games, I will not play any more CoDs, ever.

Re: Will you be renewing elite?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:58:06 GMT

i wouldn't even take it for free next year. beachhead is totally incompetent, they really should be ashamed of themselves.

Re: Idea - The Firing Range

Outstanding idea, OP!

Re: Does anyone else get mad?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 14:35:13 GMT

I get mad, sure. I'm a lot more vocal this game due to the feature whereby the guy who killed you can hear your mic for a second or so after your death. I use that to verbally abuse opponents.

Re: REMOVE QUICK SCOPING!!!!!!!

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 19:50:09 GMT

I tried QS'ing the other nite. I didn't really set out to do it, but rounded a few corners and found myself face to face with an enemy. I did atrocious. You get one shot as a QSer; if you miss, you're dead.

So I wonder - among good QSers, what is your hit accuracy?

I'm thinking 50%, which would give you a K/D of 1.0, would be the breakeven point. Maybe good QSers hit 75% of the time?

Re: Light Machine Guns

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:30:09 GMT

yeah, this is the biggest reason for me abandoning LMGs in MW3.

Re: MOST OP KILLSTREAK?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:21:53 GMT

what? the stealth bomber was in MW2, pretty much with the same effect, and no one ever used it because the other options at slightly higher & lower KS were way better (harrier, pavelow, AC130, CG).

most OP in MW3 is probably osprey gunner, but it's the highest KS, so it should be highly effective.

there are a ton of countermeasures to KS's in this game - blind eye, scrambler (same effect as BE within its radius of effect), and tons of buildings to hide in.

Re: Strafe Runs

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 17:54:08 GMT

agreed, they are basically a free predator missile for me. but i think mexican2005 is right that you can only get 4 of them by yourself. the problem is, this is no secret, so you typically have your entire team spamming stingers to get the easy points.

i have the reapist as my 9 KS slot, and will never use strafe run or ah6.

Re: Clan Operations flaw?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 17:31:39 GMT

at this point, is anyone surprised anymore when ELiTE gets dumber and dumber? it has been an abortion since day 1. operations are boost-fests, no one has ever won legitimately.

Re: why no one uses pistols.

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:44:59 GMT

I like how there are about 7 different pistols, and nobody uses any of them.

I'd argue that they are ignored because they're difficult to use effectively (semi-auto, no optics, low damage, poor range), not because there's not enough ammo provided.

Re: Type 95 unlock tweak

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:09:32 GMT

yeah, making it a higher level unlock would just mean that people use a prestige token on it.
