Re: Will they patch that BS Snipers Insta kill?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 07:41:02 GMT

DropShotting is just as bad as Halo Jumping. It is spraying while falling. If you can't even aim, why are you even on a video game. Do you even have an accuracy over 15%? That is only hitting with 15 bullets for every 100 that you shoot. It shouldn't be too difficult if you actually cared about anything. And if you cared enough to come onto these forums and try to claim that you would "pwn" anyone with your DropShotting. Snipers should be less accurate as short ranges but I guess that would encourage ppl to barrel-stuff others more but w/e. Snipers should have less mobility, slower ADS but OHK to the upper chest and head. No OHK for shots to a foot. Why do so many ppl hate legit snipers.. Who mainly use bolt actions or dont spray semi autos.For those who actually take a moment to stop, ADS, take a breath and go for an accurate shot.

Re: Will you prestige?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 05:19:17 GMT

Why just reward Prestigers? Why can't they reward players who play above it. Especially with the lame players who still use the level 1 M16 until the prestige level and when they do prestige they dont lose much because they start off with their OPed M16 anyways. What about the players who actually try to play the game and not just pull the trigger to spray thru walls and get these annoying lucky kills..

Re: Lack of sniper-friendly maps

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 05:13:37 GMT

For snipers, give us better maps but decrease the mobility even more and make scoping in a tad longer. Yes it would make sniping a bit more useless on the short/small maps where most players just run around like headless chickens. I do love having machine pistols back and Overkill but having maps that are mostly rush maps, having only 1 bettie/claymore which cant be resupplied just SUCKS! I hardly have time to even find a decent spot to stop, scope in and get a nice shot. since so many players just run run run around the maps.WHAT HAPPENED? Why did CoD start to suck after CoD4. Great all around maps for runners, for campers, for snipers, and even great for Sprayers. I cannot wait for them to bring those back for MW3

fallenshadow.. In your map list, out of any of the Black Ops maps you put, why no Jungle or Cracked?

Ya man, lets mess with all these people who will buy our game and expect someone to go thru its files. And if they do, lets add these fake files to screw with them..

That's exactly what they were thinking? Has any game that had a sequel used the same name for a map that was nothing like the original?

Should be like a 2x multiplier for shots to the head and like 1.5x multiplier for upper chest shots.

The other thing with QSers is that some enough like to "360 scope" which for 1, looks absolutely retarded and 2, they are just so cocky.. Well good job, you ran around did a lil girly spin and sprayed your sniper rifle (which u cant seem to use properly) and u got a lucky kill. Ya, that totally equals "Skill".. *sarcasm*

All hail the "Great Walls of Text"! theyre a lot better than short replies like, Bring back my CoD4 M16 cause i need it and i suck without it...

Re: Lack of sniper-friendly maps

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 03:55:14 GMT

Bring back CoD 4 MW sniping maps. The BEST by far. My favorite has always been Overgrown. A lot of clear sight lines for sniping plus it also has a lot of opening for runners to skip back and forth around the map. Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare! Remake it like 343 is doing with Halo 1 haha (If only if only! lol)

Re: Assault Rifles need some re-balancing.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 11:32:38 GMT

No offense but I see your please meaningless. The CoD 4 M16 was OP just like in MW2 and BO. Why else would majority of AR users USED it. In BO, it was the gun you got at level 1 and I still saw 15th Prestiges using it because they knew they would suck without their OP M16 (or FAMAS). They put the Level 1 gun at level 1 because they buff it for new "level 1" players so that they can still get kills against higher ranks until they themselves get to higher ranks so THEY can move on and drop the M16 but NOO.. they hang onto their OPed M16 for dear life. I say put a level cap (haha) once you reach X level, you can use the weapons you started off with at level 1.. Every burst weapon since CoD 4 has always killed me more than any other single weapon because it was so dang easy to get kills with. "Just Spam the trigger!"

To the dude who said you snipe just fine with any of these maps, we aren't taking about red dot sight/ ACOG sniping.. (jeez did I hate CoD when they started giving sniper rifles those attachments (in BF3 too haha)) In my honest opinion, I consider true sniping to be "hard-scoping" at long ranges getting shots in the chest or head with a single fire and not spamming a semi automatic (even though the 50 cal is a semi, it might as well be a bolt from how I use it)

Re: Lack of sniper-friendly maps

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 03:06:17 GMT

Is it just a single claymore or do you start off with two?

Re: Lack of sniper-friendly maps

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 03:02:40 GMT

I have hardly even touched a sniper rifle now in MW3. I have not gotten to claymores yet but with the bouncing betties, you only get one and they can't be resupplied with Savenger. Hopefully with the actually claymores, it's different. Yes, giving Snipers the Machine Pistols and the perk Overkill can help but still doesn't balance out like back in CoD4 MW. Why couldn't they understand that, CoD4 is their best since then. Far more balanced than WaW, MW2 and especially Black Ops. Double claymores or being able to resupply them. In CoD4, when I sniped (at) someone, I didn't have to worry about having some enemy rush up at me within a couple seconds. With the upcoming DLCs, please be larger maps that aren't as "Run and Gun" as the maps are now...

Leaderboard Bottom Lines

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:15:41 GMT

This is mainly for the accuracy leaderboards. Put a bottom line where you have to at least shoot 1000x bullets for you to finally show up on the leaderboard. (like in BO, you had to play x games to show up in the weekly/monthly leaderboards. Putting that bottom line would filter out a lot of the top players who only shoot once or twice to get that 100% accuracy. As no one can legitly keep 100% accuracy after shooting over 1000x.

BO killed sniping! MW3 plz bring it back!

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 04:40:40 GMT

Not saying that my sniping stats weren't good as well but it just became too tiring and boring to continue. Having only 1 claymore and can only resupply them from a Resupply care package isn't much of added protection. Yes, a sniper can become good with a pistol to defend themself against single opponents but now what about when you have enemy after enemy rushing in at you while spraying/blindfully throwing grenades, smokes, stuns, flashes; it is just plain rediculous.

Putting lead throw someones upper chest or skull with such force behind it, a silencer will not determine between life or death if the bullet hits bare flesh of a person's upper chest or head. When it comes to a sniper rifle, I don't think there have ever been any reports of ANYONE survive after being shot in the head with a legit sniper rifle.

If I had any of these following, sniping would have been a lot more enjoyable and I love picking up a sniper rifle and sniping in every game.

1) Still had 1 shot kills when I silenced my sniper rifle(s).

2) More starting claymores or resupply of claymores with Savanger like MW2

And due to the care of players lacking the care of how unskillfully they play, this would never happen but..

3) People stopped SPRAYING!

Bring back CoD4 MW1 sniping!

Die Hard "Hardscoper"!

Petition needed to remove aim assist from ONLY sniper rifles

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 04:27:28 GMT

I forget who mentioned it but I loved the idea of decreasing the amount of AA as you level/prestige. IMHO, as you level/prestige; I think you should lose the ability to use certain weapons. There is almost nothing more pathetic than watching a 15th Prestige still using the incredibly way overpowered M16 or FAMAS. Or for pete's sake, as your accuracy begins to drop (Lets say below 15% which in only 15 bullets for every 100 shot, shouldn't be too difficult.) that you lose the ability to use fully automatic weapons. (Which is why I don't play HC, all everyone does is spray to EVERYTHING to get that lucky single hit for a kill.)

Now mralpharogue, I love at the end of your post you put "Don't challenge my intelligence..". That sounds extremely cocky, especially for someone claiming to act 'civil'. Quick-scoping is just spraying. I don't think AA has much to do with QS but still, QS just has to be elimated to its fullest extent. Not only to rid these games of nonsense but also, to hopefully keep the arrogant & cocky "quickscopers" away. Teach them to try to actually snipe by preventing them to spray their sniper rifles and call it Quickscoping.

Opinions are opinions, pretty much everyone has their own. This is mine and I will stick with it and everyone else who shares my feeling on how unfair, unright, unrealistic, and just plain silly looking of what people call QSing.

Die hard "hardscoper"!

Re: Sniper Discussion.

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 04:00:10 GMT

For the dude that 'warned' of Quickscoping haters, you are dang right. Quickscopers have no place in a FPS. Every single "Quickscoper" that I have met always wants to 1v1 when you call their "sniping" to question.

How can anyone say the 50 cal sniper rifle is "overpowered".. It is the 50 CAL! If you hit a person in the leg with it IRL, they might as well kiss their leg goodbye and they will bleed out rapidly. I wish they would just get rid of these low recoil semi auto snipers like the WA2000 and M21. Bring back the Intervention, L96, 50 cal, M40; the true sniper's sniper rifle.

Die Hard "Hardscoper" all the way! The REAL way to snipe!! Increase their weight by decreasing the players mobility while holding a sniper rifle, increase their power, make silenced sniper rifles 1 shot kills in the upper chest and head.

Re: Quickscoping looks like it is balanced in MW3

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 18:01:21 GMT

Elimate Quickscoping and no-scoping all together. It is not sniping, nor should it ever be. They are both spraying tactics but with a sniper rifle instead. Remove the 'From the Hip' sights on all sniper rifles, nerf quickscoping even more. I am tired of hearing those two terms, "Quick-scopers" and "No-Scopers" are some of the most arrogant, cocky players ive ever seen on any game. Sure, there are some times that I have gotten a kill due to a quick scope or a no scope but both were just merely accidents. Turning around and a opponent jumps in front of me and i start to zoom in and just shoot a tad early (I actually feel a little bad when this happens) and sometimes i run straight into an opponent and either realizing it or not, i pull the trigger and woops, i get the kill. (yet again, i feel bad when i do happen to accidently do this)

I "feel" bad cause I cheated myself, I got a kill with a sniper rifle but it just wasnt a legitimate snipe.

AND.. thank you ONEZEROFIVE for wanting to keep sniping real! =D

BO killed sniping! MW3 plz bring it back!

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 17:45:45 GMT

I was extremely sadden and disappointed when I realized the full extent of how much Black Ops had killed the sniper class. You didn't get multiple claymores, you could resupply your claymore unless you got a supply crate, (To me, Regular core seems more realistic) and you couldn't silence your sniper rifle while continuing to get 1 shot kills even in the chest or head, we could only use semi auto pistols which usually would be no match against almost every primary gun. It's bad enough that eventually after I snipe several players, I just constantly have rushers and opponents spraying random fire in my direction, throwing grenades at me almost non-stop.

So..

You couldn't snipe silently.

You mostly couldn't defend yourself in a close up firefight. (And a LOT of players just ran circles around the maps.)

You could only have one claymore to try to protect your back.

And to hopefully get a resupply from a care package, would bring even more opponents rushing towards you.

PLEASE save sniping in MW3!

Thank you for reading my rant.
