F2000's already on the list, FAD is a very rare and underproduced weapon and can't be considered.

I'll add P90 for the sake of it, but with the 5.7x28mm rounds in rarer supply than 5.56 it is a maybe.

Dragunov's already on the list, M24 is already on the list (M24 is the military designation of the R700), PTRS-1 is way too old. Most WWII weapons are too old, although there are certainly exceptions. The PTRS-1 is not one of them.

Yeah, most of my suggestions aren't "future" style, just weapons I'd enjoy seeing again. Since the game is going to be Multiplayer, it's not as necessary for them to be as strict. I just like the listed weapons because they were some of my favorites from previous titles.

Assault Rifles:

F2000

FAD

Sub-Machine Guns: Just give me the P90 and I'll be happy

Sniper Rifles:

Dragunov (CoD4 power)

R700

PTRS-1 (WaW Gun)

Those are the main ones I want to see. Anything else is optional for me.

Re: Hidden Stats

I think that's a good idea. Give players the option to hide their stats (except for Leaderboards), you should show up on the leaderboards.

Re: Game Modes you want to see, both new and old

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 01:21:41 GMT

I guess I'll include some of my hopeful favorites:

18-Player Domination outside of Groundwar. I've always wanted a more fast-paced version of the game mode, with more action going on and more people fighting for flags.

War - Anyone who has played World at War knows that this is a fan favorite game mode that constantly gets suggested, but has yet to return. I would love to see it finally come back and be implemented though. It was such a fun game mode.

These are a couple game modes I suggested on another Forum for a separate game, but they would be equally as good in Call of Duty.

Gun Set (name needs work)

Respawn Delay: None

How to Win: First team to x number of kills/Most kills at end of time limit

This is a variation on Team Deathmatch. At the start of each match, a "type" of weapon is selected. This could be "Power Weapons", "Sniper Rifles", "Explosives", ect.. When a match starts, you can choose your class like normal, except instead of your regular classes, you would have pre-set classes that match the "Weapon Set" selected. Think like "Goldeneye 007" from the N64, except instead of players choosing the weapon type, the game randomly selects a weapon type.

Saboteur

Respawn Delay: None

How to win: Successfully plant and defend 2 Bombs

Rounds: 2 - Teams switch each round. In the event of a Tie, a 3rd round starts with the team that has the most kills on defense.

This mode should serve as a replacement for Demolition, except that there are multiple locations through out the map that you can select as a bomb site. You only have to successfully blow up 2 of them. Because of the increased difficulty for the Defending team, bomb timers are ~2 minutes. The increased number of bomb sites should alleviate the Spawn Trapping issue, and make matches more interesting and not play out the same every time. Strategy would be key.

I think maybe the font colors could use a little adjustment for the Thread Titles:

Edit

Just to avoid a Double Post I also wanted to ask if it would be possible to make all links include the "?view=discussions" thing in the URL. It makes a huge difference in the way the threads are formatted. For example, compare the two pages here:

http://community.callofduty.com/community/call_of_duty/english/ghosts/forums/spa ces/general_discussion?view=discussions

http://community.callofduty.com/community/call_of_duty/english/ghosts/forums/spa ces/general_discussion

You'll notice that in the top one, it organizes the threads by those with the most recent post, but it also includes Post Counts, Views, and who started the thread, and it just looks cleaner and more organized IMO. I don't know if there's a way to do this by default, but it would be hugely appreciated if it could be done.

Re: Thoughts on larger servers

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 01:05:19 GMT

I think 64 would be a bit much, but I think 24 could work well, or at least more 18-player game modes, like a Standalone 18-Player Domination playlist.

Re: Online Multiplayer Split Screen.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 00:57:01 GMT

I agree. I've been against this feature since basically day one. It's so hard to get into a lobby these days where at least half of it isn't split screen players. It's especially bad in game modes such as Infected where it creates a booster's paradise. When it comes to Game Mode voting, split screen players are afforded 2 votes, which means that 3 players can usually dictate the direction the entire lobby goes in terms of which map to play.

Overall, I think it'd just be better to scrap the feature. It was an interesting thing to try out, but I'd like to see it gone now. Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to happen. It's been in since Black Ops I believe, and has been in every game since then, so I can see it continuing on.

Game Modes you want to see, both new and old

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 00:35:12 GMT

Just thought I'd start a discussion on game modes you hope to see in the game, both from previous titles and maybe new ones that haven't been tried in Call of Duty before. We all know of the standard list:

FFA

TDM

S&D

Domination

Capture the Flag

Ground War

And then there are usually some variations in which others are introduced, things like Kill Confirmed, Headquarters, Sabotage, Demolition, and things of that sort, followed by "Party Games" like Gun Game and One in the Chamber. So I'm curious to hear what you think should make the final cut, and what new game modes you would like to see included (if any), and maybe game modes you think can be removed.

Also, we should assume based on previous titles that the Hardcore and Core game modes will be split into two separate categories, so if you suggest a game mode, make sure to clarify whether or not you'd like to see it in Hardcore too. I think we can safely assume that at least FFA, TDM, and S&D will make it to the Hardcore Playlist.

Ditto for the Samsung Galaxy Note2. Using Chrome though. Any time I try to reply to a thread in a subforum I can't . Only can reply to thread by being on main page.

I think this is mostly just a side-effect of them rushing to get the forums out, likely didn't work out all the bugs and kinks with it. Personally, I think they'd have been better off just using something established like vBulletin. Less hassle, easier to set-up, quick to add new categories, easy compatibility across different browsers and devices.

Re: Modern Warfare 3 Title Update and Hot Fix Discussion

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 21 May 2013 09:13:05 GMT

Yeah, it would be nice. It's good that Tina was able to acknowledge that we're waiting on a forum, and to know it's on their to-do list. I just hope they can get it up within time for the reveal, or at least close to it. If not, I suspect the Moderators are going to be quite busy in the MW3 forums once more.

Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing this community lively once more.

Thanks guys! We're working hard to prep for the reveal of our game (May 21st!) Also, we're working on getting the Ghosts forums up and running. Time is still TBD

I'll let you all know when I get an update

Sounds good, hopefully there's enough time between when the forums go up and the game releases to take on board feedback and make changes (if needed). I have a few suggestions that I've been holding onto for when the forums go up for Ghosts.

Tomorrow the reveal, good luck on your first E3 Performance (I believe it's your first, right?).

Edited because I'm a derp and forgot it wasn't E3.

I didn't really expect much. Just really something to hype up E3 debut. Although I don't like the approach of advertising the game along with the Xbox. Excuse me for being a Sour Patch Pete... that doesn't bode well for the PS Confederates.

Indeed... though what I find amusing is that Microsoft still announces these "Exlusivity Deals" at these events, as if it's something that nobody knew was coming to begin with. I mean, we all know what the deal is. A "we get it first for 30 days" deal. They're still going to use it as this great advantage, when really, it's the same thing we've been hearing for years.

I'm not worried though about DLC deals. I rarely buy DLC anymore anyway, so these deals don't really affect me. As long as the versions play the same and get the same level of support, then it really doesn't bother me all that much, even though I'd prefer no back-room deals to begin with.

Re: Shooting the gun in AoN? Whats your thoughts. MW3 [PC] - (20-0) AoN on Village(NO GUN)

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 02 May 2013 01:24:19 GMT

I see no problem with it. The gun is there, the bullets are there, so why not do it? It's the same thing with Gun Game and knifing. People hate when you knife even though it's a perfectly valid strategy and aspect of the game.

Self-imposed limits are nice if you want to improve your skill limit, it's almost a necessity really in order to get better, but it's not a requirement to play these games.

I know you probably already saw it, but you will wish you didn't.

Candy / Teena - As community managers (or whatever), could you just answer one simple question? Where is the creativity that we had seen in past trailers? You know the little things that kept everyone guessing and replaying the video over and over looking for something that could be decoded. Where is the effort to at least create something that leaves the viewer wanting more?

Most importantly...where is the voice?

If this is the effort we see that was put into the hype-trailer, what is to be expected of the game itself? #disappointing

You have to remember that this is just the announcement trailer that they released. No real details, just them announcing the title. I suspect when it comes to actually showcasing a trailer for the game, we're going to get a lot of that cryptic detail and hidden little things that the trailers are famous for.

It was indeed very well done. I hope you guys have something equally as funny for MW4 (or whatever you're going to call it). Maybe build something into the game in anticipation for next year when April Fools comes along so you can do something massive or much bigger for it.

Re: I can't go online using the maps I downloaded

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:13:46 GMT

With Terminal, I believe it's because everyone has that. It's a free DLC Map, and I believe they made it so that it was a mandatory map, though I'm not 100% on that. Regarding the number of combinations, well, with 4 map packs, that still comes out to around 16 (a few possible combinations (assuming I figured it up right)).

That many combinations really fractures the player base. Now, I would imagine (though I'm not 100% sure) that they have some way of doing the matchmaking so that it minimizes the amount of fracturing that goes on. Maybe I'll ping Candice or Teanah and see if they can explain it better. I don't want to unintentionally give you wrong information and discourage you from buying future DLC incase I am wrong.

Re: Sprinting

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:17:57 GMT

I'm not sure what you mean in terms of "unrealistic and slow". I played a lot of Battlefield 3 a while ago and a lot of MW3, and I'm not too sure I understand the comparison or what you're wishing they would change. Is it just the speed at which you sprint? I know BF3 almost has a "heavier" feel to it, if that's what you're referring to (which I wouldn't mind).
