Re: Modern Warfare 3 Title Update and Hot Fix Notes

Add to the hot-fix list "Adjusted Akimbo Scorpion hip fire spread (NERF)." I'm not quite sure why bowling chose not to mention this in his notes. Beyond this though, I cannot possibly understand why increasing the hipfire spread of the Scorpions was even a concern while the current overpowered deathstreaks are around. Final stand is absolutely outrageous, and needs to be patched. It is beyond unfair. The current deathstreak system does not improve players' ability, it simply justifies and rewards poor play. Dead man's hand does nothing to make a bad player better. There is absolutely no way to argue/justify that it does. All dead man's hand does is make a player think, "Oh, it's no big deal if I die over and over, cuz I get to blow people up anyways!" This leads to players not only not improving, but even getting worse. Deathstreaks do nothing but infuriate good players who actually EARNED their kills. There's no reason I should go 15-0, shoot a guy four times with my striker, and have him drop to the floor and explode with more explosive radius than any other explosive in the game. Bowling made the argument that "Final stand is not a perk like last stand, so it's not as bad." It is many, many times worse. Final stand players have more health, can use their primary, and have an automatic drop shot right down to the on-the-floor position. It's not fair, plain and simple. Maybe make efforts to develope productive deathstreaks, say, when the person spawns, they get one sweep of an advanced uav. Beyond the selectable deathstreaks, you've already put into the game a very brief spawn protection period where the players do not show up on radar and have resistance to explosives every time they spawn in. This in conjunction with the deathstreak I meantioned previously along with copycat, juiced, revenge, and maybe even hollowpoint would create an environment in which bad players could recieve a bit of assistance to perhaps improve their game, but it would not be at the unjust detriment of good players who are actually earning their kills. Just my two cents. As I have no clout at all, this may mean nothing to you, but let it be heard. Changes to address this problem would make your game much more enjoyable.

Sounds like you just want a remastered COD 4...

Also:

Consider this, make the knife do just as much damage as the "knifer" has health. For example, if I shoot a guy twice, he won't be able to get a lucky knife off on me and one hit k.o. me. This would all but elminate panic knifing, yet still allow the knife to be used as a stealth device if you sneak up behind someone, without the need to introduce new controls for pulling the knife out to kill people. I feel as though this would remedy if not all, the vast majority of the problems of knifing.
