You will be back. MW3 Mp is just awful

Re: noob tube on MW3. are they OP?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:06:16 GMT

You can hit someone square between the eyes with a noobtube and still get a hitmarker. No joke. Balance in MW3 is worse than MW2.

You will be even more annoyed when you get into a game and realise what a massive pile of sh*t it is

Re: MW3, looking awesome...Only two niggles dev's...

Sorry to disappoint, but none of the maps are similar to any of the old COD maps, as they have gone in a totally new direction. Unfortunately, its not for the better. Im afraid the skys are filled with twice as many killstreaks now. The gameplay is not fun, because its TOO fast and the maps are just mindless mazes. Once you have an SMG with kick, you will not need anything else. Perks are more or less pointless as the combat is so close quarters and quick, that they make minimal effect.

Re: did IW do too much??

Its not the worst shooter in history, thats just silly to say. Sadly though, it is the poorest COD as far as MP goes. It is TOO fast and things like "Kick" and QS are just overpowering. The maps are terrible.....I could go on. I got to lvl 41 before I shamefully stuck BO's back in.

Re: My take on the multiplayer after 23 hours of playtime.

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 20:54:31 GMT

This isn't the COD that the majority of people want. Its TOO fast paced. The perks are just little bonuses rather than something that changes your play. The support K/S's are so easy to get that despite being pretty lame at the game, I am getting an Osprey support drop in 9/10 games. All maps feel the same. QS is stupidly OP. Grenades are just assist spammers. You can't survive for long no matter how good you are, as every place in the map has at least 3 flankable routes and they are very close quarters. Assault K/S's are crazy OP, if there is a pavelow up, you are going to die....a lot. SMG's dominate, as people are just rounding corners hip firing. Balance is worse than MW2 as equipment is massively underpowered and any weapon with "kick" is just crazy OP.

What have they done do our precious COD formula?!?! I hope the fans rage on the forums come the 8th and IW learn from this travesty.

Re: will this game last longer than other CoDs?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 20:45:41 GMT

No, because its very fast paced and gets a bit much after a while. I got to lvl 41 and went back to BO's for a while to play real COD. MW3 changes the COD formula so much, it doesn't feel like COD anymore. It feels like Quake with COD graphics. I was really dissapointed.

Re: Extreme Conditioning seems worthless...

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 18:34:13 GMT

None of the perks are as useful as in previous CoD's. They are literally a little bonus rather than something you rely on. I have been mostly rolling with Blind eye and Assassin, but the maps are so frantic that it doesnt make much difference.

Re: What the hell.

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 15:23:34 GMT

Its like MW2 minus the fun! MW3 is definitely going to damage COD's repututation. The problems at IW obviously effected the quality of the game.

The games are so dissimilar that you really can't compare them. BF3 is a slower pace more strategic affair, while MW3 is an all out rush Twitch game. As far as I am concerned after playing them all. MW2 > BO's > BF3 > MW3 > BFBC2.

Re: Worried about perks.

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 13:35:05 GMT

Perks don't add much tactical depth to the game. Everything is so close quarters, perks are literally a bonus, rather than something you rely on as in previous CoD's.

I started off with TDM just to get a feel for it. Got to lvl 14 and started to realise all of the maps were similar. Decided to try out the new Kill confirmed mode, which to be honest is definitely the best addition. I am currently lvl 37, but I'm sorry to say I don't feel motivated to play much more. You're best off waiting till you play and making your own judgements, but I think most will agree, MW3 lacks the usual refinement. The best thing about COD is it allows so many styles of play. MW3 supports two.....Rushing and camping. I am not particularly good at fast paced twitch gameplay so im not doing amazingly, but despite that I am getting an 18point Osprey support drop in 9/10 games. MW2 was filled with overpowered cheap tactics. MW 3 is filled with perks that provide no real tactical depth, equipment that is next to useless and Quickscoping that is just ridiculously easy.

No, im old, I started on the very first COD back on the PC. I agree BO wasn't the best, but it beats MW3 hands down.

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 21:25:44 GMT

I apologise if I sound like a spoiled child, spitting his dummy. MW2 (despite its balance flaws), is one of my favourite games, and I was expecting MW3 to be a refined and increasingly balanced sequel. CoD games of the past have catered to the Pro and the Noob alike, which I believe was why it was so successful. Unfortunately this instalment will not go down well with the later. Expect some heavy critisism from fans come the 8th.

On the conterary, I enjoy run and gun gameplay, but in order for it to work there must be room to breath. One of the reasons I stated that the maps were poorly designed, is that no matter how well you play, you will constantly be flanked from all directions with people hip firing SMG's. Until you actually play, you will not appreciate what I mean. Every map is extremely claustrophobic.

Re: Disappointed Fan

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 21:13:44 GMT

I am not suggesting anyone avoids buying it. The point of the thread, is an opinion that MW3 does not live up to the standards we are accustumed too. Once you have played it, then feel free to share your opinion of the new direction.

Disappointed Fan

As a true hardcore COD fan, I was thrilled to recieve my copy of MW3 early. The first thing I did, as many of you will, is continue the stellar campaign story of the Modern warfare series. I was hooked from start to finish. Simply brilliant stuff from the guys at IW.

Then naturally, I was excited to jump on to the multiplayer portion where the real essence of CoD lays. To put it mildly, I was shocked! I have no idea what was going through the Dev teams head when they were building this.....frankly, pile of c*ap. I have a feeling the troubles at IW after MW2 really effected the development of MW3, because the MP portion of the game does not live up to previous COD standards. It genuinely feels like a fan made mod for CoD 4.

I'm really not going to go into all the problems with the MP, as come release day, this forum is going to be filled with furious fans. Lets just say, CoD "Quake arena" is a huge step down for the series. Every map is poorly designed and forces rush play, the weapons are unbalanced, grenades are useless, Perks feel pointless and the Killstreaks make the rich, richer. All the CoD's of past have had me addicted for at least 6 months. I found myself uninterested in MW3 after two hours. I keep going back in the hope that I find something I like, but I just can't.....I am hugely disappointed. All I can say is that I hope IW learn from this disasterous mistake in direction.

I would be interested to hear from any other fans that have been playing the MP early....

Re: Is there any way to stop Modders from modding ranks & stats?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 21:50:38 GMT

A dedicated security team has been mentioned before and would be very much appreciated by legit gamers. in MW2, the plague of modders really ruined the satisfaction of earning and showing off a tough challenge reward. I don't know how difficult it is to ban and remove these idiot's, but one can only hope that there will be a lot less modding than in MW2.
