Re: Spec Ops/Survival Mode best

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 03:03:27 GMT

For me Seatown and Piazza are probably the easiest maps to get a high wave on. I've gotten up to wave 45 on Seatown with my brother split-screen, and wave 39 on Piazza solo.

My best on the leaderboards I think is Mission, wave 33 solo and I'm in the top 1000 out of 1.2 million people on it.

My worst on the leaderboards and worst for total wave is Downturn, wave 18 solo, which puts me at 17500 out of 500,000 people total.

The 8 Best Survival Maps

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 21:53:55 GMT

There are 33 total survival maps (I'm counting the chaos maps separately), and my favorite 8 are:

- Seatown

- Fallen

- Bakaara

- Piazza

- Oasis

- Off Shore

- Parish

- Dome in Chaos mode

The 10 Best Spec Ops Missions (CoD4, MW2, MW3)

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:09:45 GMT

Despite people ragging on it a lot I still enjoy spec ops. By my count there are 48 missions total, and here are the 10 I like the most:

Mile High Club
O Cristo Redentor
Overwatch
Hidden
Breach and Clear
Estate Takedown
Milehigh Jack
Smack Town
Negotiator
Kill Switch

Agree? Disagree?

Re: Next Infinity Ward Game Idea's

I've heard in a few places that 2013's CoD will be Sledgehammer, and IW will release their next game in 2014.

I hope they continue with the MW story, but do so by filling in all the gaps from the games they already made.

- Show why Zakhaev hates the west so much in the 90s.

- Show how Zakhaev and Al Asad connect in the 2000s.

- Show how the nuke going off affects Shepherd.

- Show how Makarov takes over after Zakhaev is killed.

- Show Operation Kingfish (Price, Soap, Ghost, Sandman).

- Show how Allen get into Makarov's group (Shepherd, "You don't know what it's cost to put you beside him").

And I'm sure there's plenty more.

Jan 5th - CoD4 and WaW day

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 03:45:32 GMT

I'm trying to spread the word. The first Saturday of each month is go-back-and-play-your-favorite-old-CoD day starting with January 5th and I think it should start with Call of Duty 4 and World at War. So if you get online this Saturday you should think about playing CoD4 or WaW.

Re: 100% survivability rating?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 21:55:09 GMT

I was looking for this as well. Finally found it:

100% survivability rating

- You can not die at all. This means you can't get killed (obviously) but also the game killing you for straying too far or taking too long will also void this challenge.

Re: Hardcore Modes

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 13:44:40 GMT

Trade out modes every so often. For example if you only have 3 slots for hardcore games:

Week 1:

HC TDM

HC Dom + HC CTF

HC Hardpoint + HC Headquarters

Week 2:

HC TDM

HC FFA

HC Demolition + HC Sabotage

Week 3

HC TDM

HC KC + Dom

HC SnD

Or every two weeks or every 4 days or something like that.

As you find out what games are more popular/less popular you can adjust.

Are you on xbox? If so I can help, gamertag Mojammer8642. I'll be on this weekend a bit for the double weapon xp.

Re: Question about Chaos Mode

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 04:58:19 GMT

It is available now as part of content pack 3 for $15. At the xbox dashboard it's one of the front page ads.

You can play split-screen though, so if your friend is nearby that may be the way to go.

I agree, this could be good on some bigger maps, but very few in MW3 would work.

Elite Game and Weapon Stats

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 06:25:54 GMT

I was curious how quickly games played made it onto my Elite profile and right after finishing a game logged into the web page to see. The last game I played was up, but I noticed that the kills and deaths recorded on the Elite website is still off (way off) of the true kill/death count. My game was 31 kills and 15 deaths, but Elite shows 21 kills and 13 deaths.

That means all my weapon stats, map stats, and more stuff that Elite has been showing me is wrong. That's unfortunate.

Re: Special Ops Chaos mode

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 01:40:43 GMT

I've decided Chaos mode is great for people who like playing with the specialist strike package, and also like playing survival.

Re: Chaos Mode: Port Face-Off Maps?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 21:14:42 GMT

I had the exact same though - Survival on the regular multiplayer maps, Chaos on the Face Off maps.

Although I would prefer survival and chaos to both be on every map in the game.

Re: Can't level up in Chaos mode

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 20:59:46 GMT

When I saw the scores in Chaos mode I set up a new profile to see if I could go from level 1 to level 50 in a single game, but it didn't work.

Related, if you want to level up in spec ops the best way is probably Off Shore survival. Go up the ramp and play the first 3-4 waves. You should be able to get 20,000 points in about 5 minutes.

Re: I almost feel bad for those of you who bought Elite.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 20:56:09 GMT

I agree with the OP about the music volume, but I'm really happy with the Elite subscription.

I don't have all of the items, but I have almost everything for Dome, Underground and Village. I got lazy and haven't done Resistance yet:

Re: What Would Happen to Elite Premium if It Was Decoupled From DLC?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 05:37:42 GMT

I'm sure it would survive if it was a lot cheaper and the clan operations were carried out more like game battles, where clans could compete with each other and there was some sort of leaderboard. Aside from the DLC that's the only thing that to me would be worth actually paying for, and it would have to go from $50 a year down to maybe $5 or $10 per year.

Re: Last DLC drops announced

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 05:35:05 GMT

While I agree that Spec Ops missions shouldn't count as full pieces of DLC I don't think they're trash. I think most people who play multiplayer and zombies underestimate how many people enjoy not just survival mode but also the missions and the campaign.

Still though, look at the content they've added post-release:

12 multiplayer maps (playable in survival)

5 face off maps

8 missions

1 new mode

1 free multiplayer map

2 free face off maps

4 free game modes (infected, drop zone, face off, FFA gunplay)

That is quite a bit. On top of that they've stayed very much on top of cheaters, hackers, exploits, updates, buffs, nerfs, and generally good support. In my opinion IW/Sledgehammer/Activision have done quite a bit to show that they care about their customers. I think this rivals what Treyarch did last year on most fronts and edges ahead a bit in a couple places.
