Re: The Casual Gamer

You can't really compare this game to a MMORPG. I played Dark Age of Camelot from release to just a few years ago. In those you built up stats and abilities that a new player just didn't have access too. Same thing with special armor and weapons that would take 100+ people to complete a raid in hopes to get a drop. This game has to cater to the casaual player. Who has time to play a game 2-3 hours every day. In the MMORPG days you left the game for a few weeks of couldn't go on a raid or 2 you were at a huge disadvantage in fights. I can not play Black Ops for a month, come back and pick right up where I left off. That is one reason I never prestige. In the grand scheme of things it gives you nothing special. No abilities, you are no harder to kill, etc. a level 1 can kill a master prestige as easy as a master prestige can kill. Level 1. Any other game this would not be the case. I believe the real money is in the initial sale of the game anyway. Make the big push on the release and then most players only play once in a while afterwards. It is win/win for the manufacturer. There should be a higher reward for the legit high prestige but that would create more people hacking and also discourage others to play. Kinda like the WOW South Park episode. :)

I couldn't play a game like that. It is a bi*#h move to hide behind a shield in a corner much less a few of them doing it. However it is a option for them to use and I could do the same if I chose to. I doubt if I would stay in the lobby where they were doing this repeatedly. They seemed to be having fun. I guess that is what the game is about.

Re: Is it important to you that you are good at a video game?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 19:26:56 GMT

Being good and doing well in game are 2 different issues in my opinion. I people were to play in a perfect lag free environment then I could say yes. Everyone has experienced issues with this game. I don't know that anyone can be good consistently. If you are on the bad side of lag comp and quit the game are you a bad player now? It is just a game, outside of that no one can really say they are a beast unless you can dominate regardless of lag, team mates, campers, etc.

Black Ops 2 Replacement?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 02:44:43 GMT

My brother in law and myself usually play a hour or 2 a night. We played Black Ops 1 for a few months before MW3 came out. We hated the lag and seemingly BS deaths we were getting and couldn't wait for Black Ops 2 to come out. All our problems would go away. We were horribly wrong. We both have high speed cable, hard wired to our PS3, and still routinely get killed after putting a full clip into someone running away from us that turns and drops us with one shot.

Is there anything out there at all similar to Black Ops 2 that has either dedicated servers or a better system?

It doesn't have to be as pretty, story line doesn't interest me we only play player vs. player

Or is just the best there is in this gaming type?

I have heard a lot about Battlefield 3

Any opinions are welcome. We need a change because this game is becoming more frustration than fun anymore

Re: I thought this was supposed to be the anti camper game?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 13:40:10 GMT

I am not complaining about people's play style. Play however you want it is your game. I just thought by what I have read and heard that if you lay motionless anywhere for any length of time you show up on the map. Regardless if there is a UAV in the air or not. Maybe I just completely misunderstood. So if no UAV is in the air and you have a surpressed gun you are invisable like in MW3?

I thought this was supposed to be the anti camper game?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 05:20:48 GMT

They are literally every where, on every map. Laying down in the grass etc. We're they not supposed to show up on the map? Maybe my map is broken?

Re: abusive language

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 17:13:32 GMT

So you are playing a rated M for mature game. In this game your only goal is to kill people by any means possible, shooting, stabbing, or blowing them up?

Should I call the waaaambulance for you?

Put on your big boy pants, delete the message and put the person that sent it to you on ignore and move on.

Not worth worrying about what some random person somewhere in the world typed to you in a game. I kinda take those messages as a compliment to be honest

Re: New Sniper Carreer

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 19:49:50 GMT

Completely depends on what type of sniper you are wanting to be. I am the most hated camping sniper. Assassin, Blind Eye and Marksman. I hard scope but a very effective in picking spots that a lot don't. I have had the enemy walk right by me or even prone out in front of me more times than I can count. I started with the Barrett 50 and fell in love with it. I use the stock scope. Not really too fond of the Acog. I don't run a silencer. I found that I lost a lot of kills as opposed to running it without one. If your enemy watches the kill cam they are going to come back most of the time in my experience and if you don't get a good head shot they aren't a one hit kill with a silenced 50 cal. Here lately even with unsilenced it can be iffy.

Re: 3 Man Broab! Triple Moab On Interchange, First ever Broab.

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 23:43:05 GMT

In all honesty who in their right mind stays for a match like that. Prestige 7 going 6-33 from what I can tell from the horrible quality, at least on my phone. And he was the point leader on the other team. Call it being superior or ultra skilled. Or call it staged. I have never, ever been on a team that had a MOAB called in on it. Just takes far to much luck/skill to pull off much less a triple. Who knows what the stats were on the 2 players that backed out. It is just about as believable as a team going 7500-0 on TDM. Just doesn't happen unless there is some shenanigans going on.

Re: MW3 Sniping and Throwing Knife montage. Advice?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 04:48:32 GMT

I never said no one should make montages. Those are your words. I did say that anyone can make them because everyone has had those moments when they were either on top of their game or were on the good side of lag. You posted the video, bumped it because you wanted feedback. You didn't get any initially because we have all seen the same type of videos over and over. Then when you get feedback you don't agree with you want to argue. It is what it is. I don't play the game modes you play. I doubt you have killed me. And in all honesty I don't care near enough to do any research on you. You made a video that a thousand people before you have made. Congratulations. Here is a cookie.

Re: MW3 Sniping and Throwing Knife montage. Advice?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 01:17:37 GMT

That is the problem with a montage. It only shows your best and brightest moments. No one knows if you quit every match where you don't get first blood, don't know if your KDR is in the crapper, and don't know if you play all the objectives in the games you play. Even the worst player has moments of greatness. Take all of those and string them together and you have a montage. nothing personal. You may own every match you play. But after watching hundreds of MW3 videos they all are the same after a while

Re: MW3 Sniping and Throwing Knife montage. Advice?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 00:18:15 GMT

Any one who plays this game with any type of regularity hear these throwing knives clanking around the entire match. The overwealming majority of players simply launch them every time they respawn in hopes for that OMGWTFPWN moment. There are others who use them to kill when they come across someone hard scoping or not paying attention to work on their titles. Very few people can get knife kills as you have in your video consistently. Just like you can't do a 360 quicks old headshot consistently. But a lot of those sure do show up in videos. So if you toss your knife across the map enough times you will ultimately get more kills with it than others.

Re: MW3 Sniping and Throwing Knife montage. Advice?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 23:03:46 GMT

It is what it is I guess. First of all that isn't sniping. It is quick scoping that you are doing 90% of the time. Secondly I don't know what to call the throwing knife kills except for 95% blind luck. Nice editing and C4 kills. The others most would call cheap abuse of game mechanics.

Re: Im a CAMPER so what!

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:21:47 GMT

Yea I read your post, didn't watch the video because it won't open on my phone. I am commenting on this

End of story. That's why they're making it harder on all out campers. We all know that everyone camps here and there. But to sit in one spot with your back against the wall the intire game is gay.

How are they making it harder on all out campers? And if they do they are indeed alienating a rather large chunk of their gaming community if camping is as severe as everyone here is claiming. So you go run along now....

Re: Im a CAMPER so what!

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:51:02 GMT

So what you are saying is they are going to take in your opinion a large segment of their player base ( campers are everywhere OMG )and tell them to change their play style or not buy their game? Bad business decision. I highly doubt it will fly. To be successful you need to appeal to a broad base of customers. Young/old, talented and noob. Because admit it. If lobbies were strictly set up be KDR, win loss percentage and prestige how many would like that? No MOAB's anymore at all. Everyone wants to be the beast in the lobby but doesnt want to loose. Tell me you get dropped into a lobby with 4 level 5 split screeners going against a clan and stay.

Re: Im a CAMPER so what!

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:28:40 GMT

Your basketball analogy works only if one point remains constant. If I stand at half court and steal the ball 50% of the time or more then I am definately helping the team. I camp a lot. Don't care what others think tbh. I have a KDR of 1.64 I think. Always go positive and in my humble opinion help help team. While I may not top the leader board every match I also don't feed the other team by blindly running around Rambo style either. Even if you are on top of the board after the match if you are upside down were you really helping the team? So would you rather have a camper go 10-4 or a run and gunner going 18-23?

Re: On this day, We have returned to bring shame and humiliation to Campers.

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 18:01:19 GMT

Funny video. I have to ask though how often do you all get steam rolled trying to make your videos? Like following one guy and someone else get a triple off of you. And do you do this a lot? You say you play straight but do you go as far as some do and loose a game for the team because you are goofing on one of the other team mates?

Re: Camping

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 17:55:53 GMT

You are just plain wrong. I camp, or snipe which the way I do it is also camping. I have a KDR of 1.45 and climbing every time I play. I rarely if ever go negative and typically are 1-2 on the leader board. If you camp smart and know the maps it isn't hard to do well. There are so many other players that would rather run like a headless chicken because that is how the game was intended right? They are just free kills. In TDM the object is to win correct? You want a run and gunner going 7-15 or a camper going 10-2? Remember every time you die the other team gets points. A lot forget that little tidbit.
