Re: Here's why Assassin is OP and must be nerfed

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:56:58 GMT

assassin is only lame if people use it to hide in dark corners or glitch spots .. i say remove camouflage from the game and put one team in bright red jumpers and the other team in bright blue jumpers .. problem solved : )

i regularly use assassin .. but only so i do not get sniped by campers myself .. i dont wanna use it but if campers do i feel i have to as well in a lot of maps and modes there are just too many campers and they dont even have to see me but my bright red name is so easily visible when they use marksman as well

Re: Why do you care about your K/D Ratio .. or any other stat ?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:38:21 GMT

well .. im normally a huge stat freak in games but only if the environment is controlled and conditions are equal .. and in call of duty there are just way too many variables that influence your KDR .. ive seen great players with a lousy KDR and aweful ones with a really good KDR .. and as mentioned before... now that infected counts towards your KDR it really ruins the whole stat for me...

i find it funny to enter a game with mostly lower prestige people and hear them talking on their mics about my stats and how bad my kdr is for being prestige 10 .. and then i kick their ass ingame (if the lag isnt too horrible and i did not get host...)

because i played many different modes and tried all weapons and many different setups i definitely did not always just try to keep up my KDR and it is only at 0.9 or something i think

yeah .. they can be useful like that .. just takes some getting used to the shorter detonation time! they go off sooner than flash and concussion grenades : )

another fail in this mode is that now more and more people just leave the game once they are infected and search for a new one to start camping for their MOAB again .. this really messes up the games and just rewards camper KDR whores... either way camping in unreachable places is lame and should not be rewarded!

i agree that commando and marathon are not that much missed .. but the shield really seems broken or incompatible with the lag compensation... have you actually used it succesfully in mw3?

the shield should repair itself as people are also healed over time .. in hardcore matches people dont heal and the shield could then stay broken as well .. but otherwise it should definitely repair itself over time...

and the shield should be meant to be indestructible because it is a primary weapon! there isnt that much you can do with it to begin with .. its mostly useful in tactical game modes and there are so many easy ways to deal with shield users already... im not asking for it to be a moving wall that cannot be beaten whatsoever .. but i bit of a boost would be nice none the less

yeah so true .. a knife beats a shield so easily .. crouching with a shield and somebody runs up to you and knives you from above .. blerk : (

i still like to use the shield in some hardcore modes but overall it is nowhere near as usefull as it was in mw2

im disappointed with this mode .. overall it just feels like an invite to boost .. and not even a kick for inactivity...

and i dont like how streaks in this mode also count towards leaderboards killstreaks .. i would also prefer to have the moab disabled in this mode

overall the mode kinda feels like some beta test so you can all get more data on certain guns and what not...

ow and i hope you take a look at all those hard to reach camp spots and other glitch locations where people go in this mode and actually fix those spots while you're at it...

hiding is just lame .. if all people hide there is no game... maybe you should hide from the forums too...

Re: Wanna know why it's called the ACR 6.8?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 02:08:52 GMT

i really dont see how its that over powered .. if you aim well and fire in bursts then most ARs do pretty much the same in terms of killing .. sure there are a few that do a little better or worse... some guns are better for hardcore matches and some are better for people that spray and pray some are better for people that dont care about long streaks and vice versa .. the main problem i have with them is that people can use rapid fire controllers in regular online matches .. and rapid fire controllers give a bigger advantage with certain guns...

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 01:58:15 GMT

yeah please buff the riot shield a bit .. i like using it but with the lag compensation it is extremely hard to keep it aimed straight at your opponent at all times .. a bit of a curve would be awesome and the shield should also repair itself after some time cause if its cracked too much you really cant see anything anymore .. and of course bullets shouldnt magically curve around it and shoot me in the butt! many times on killcams i do not understand how the bullets actually hit me .. so maybe some do penetrate the shield? i dunno... does impact affect bullets hitting the shield?

what i would like to see changed as well is that the shoot button actually works as a melee attack while using the riot shield .. i always use tactical button layout (playing on PS3) and pressing the circle button instead of r1 is really annoying .. and switching from tactical to classic all the time doesnt work well either for me)

my setup for a riot shield class usually has slight of hand pro tho .. ill let people empty their clip on my shield and then switch to my secondary weapon and kill them with that if i cannot melee them...

for the 2nd perk i tried using quickdraw to quickly throw some grenades or c4 .. but since scavenger doesnt replenish those it doesnt let me go on very long streaks so my 2nd perk will usually just be assassin or hardline or even blast shield at times (or of course overkill and the riot shield will be 2nd primary weapon then) .. my third perk usually is dead silence as well to make sure people dont hear me running up to them from behind : ) if not dead silence then steady aim and akimbo weapons or a shotgun

happens to me well regularly .. it forces me to turn off my receiver cause the sound is just deafening and wakes the entire neighbourhood .. a fix would be appreciated but i doubt we will see one soon...

Re: Modern Warfare 3 Title Update and Hot Fix Notes

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:56:32 GMT

i still think that most of the balance issues that people are having with the guns are actually cause by the lag compensation... ive gone head to head with people using an ACR while i had akimbo FMGs or a striker on .. and i would still lose even tho it was close combat and i was ready to shoot the second i saw the other guy .. but if he sees me before i even see him or get the chance to react .. well there is just no point...

the same goes for perks .. whats the use of perks like quickdraw and steady aim pro when my opponents see me seconds before i see them? how can i react quicker than them? it just feels so bad when you're getting raped by this delay .. and i know how godly it is to be on the good side as well .. ive had a few games where people would just keep running into my bullets because i simply saw them before they saw me .. damn the game feels easy then... and it really doesnt matter much what gun you use in those situations

Re: Modern Warfare 3 Title Update and Hot Fix Notes

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:28:04 GMT

Im in the netherlands and I play on PS3 .. mostly Kill Confirmed but ive tried pretty much all modes

my connection is excellent router properly setup with port forwarding etc. i have a 100 mbit full duplex fibre optics line and i dont share my network and when gaming i make sure my other computers are not using any bandwith .. i play both wired and wireless (with a 100% signal) and in both situations i get the same issues

since the latest patch the game has gotten worse for me again .. the lag related crap is just insane now .. people are skipping across my screen like crazy and when i host and get close to people with a crappy connection the entire game just starts to jitter (at least this tells me there is somebody close to me : ) but it doesnt let me react properly as its hard to aim when the game skips beats like that...)

it has simply become even more horrible and before this patch i was kinda forced to switch to camping and sniping because i was almost always what felt like seconds behind the others and that would make close combat impossible for me (unless i was on the good side of the lag compensation and i would actually go on streaks and get a KD of 40-5 and so on) anyway that sniping and camping worked to some extent even tho it was boring .. but now in this new patch people skip across my screen and i am all of a sudden getting hit markers like crazy with my barret .50 cal and it is just becoming impossible to aim when people just magically skip from one spot to another

how can we be expected to aim if we dont know what to aim at? one game i have to aim at the avatars on my screen .. the next game i need to aim behind them or infront of them .. how many times have i had my sniper cros hairs right on someone's head and not even gotten a hit on firing .. then in another game im running around and get 3 headshots in a row with my sniper rifle and not even one of those shots was actually on target... the annoying aim assist and lag compensation seem to not mix very well for me... whats the deal with this?

why in my 12 hours of ingame time have i only been in 2 .. yes 2! games with all people having 4 green bars... this just doesnt make any sense .. why do i have to be put in lobbies with eastern europeans, americans, australians etc. etc. the matchmaking just needs to be fixed so that <50 ping lobbies actually have people with good connections in them... and if people wanna mess with their connections or keep their torrents running while playing a game online then those people should be punished and not the ones with a good connection actually trying their best to make sure nothing interferes with their online gaming

Re: Unable to connect to online services

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 09:10:47 GMT

Alrighty .. I rechecked all settings and there were no errors on that part .. but after contacting my ISP it turns out they are having "issues" .. they are being vague as well but at least I now know the cause and will just have to wait it out once more...

Unable to connect to online services

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 08:02:26 GMT

Since yesterday afternoon I have been unable to connect to the online services... Yesterday I was playing since early morning and things were fine until later in the afternoon when the games just got way more laggy than ever .. when I went for some food I turned off my PS3 and when I came back I was unable to connect to the MW3 server .. I figured it might be a temporary thing .. maintenance or whatever to fix the lag issues .. yeah wishfull thinking perhaps : ) .. anyway, I just gave up for the day (even though I am at prestige 9 lvl 77 and really wanted to get to p10 first) but today I find myself still unable to connect... Furthermore, I am unable to visit the activision support page (activision.custhelp.com) the connection just keeps timing out

I have tried clearing my cache and cookies (on both the PS3 and different laptops), flushed my dnscache, reset my router, turned upnp on and off, now ts off again and I put the PS3 on a fixed ip address and forwarded all the proper ports again... well basically I've tried everything I could think of but I can't get it to work...

Now im wondering if it is an issue with my ISP or with Activision or maybe a combination of the two...

I have a fibre optic 100MBit full duplex connection from onsbrabantnet and a netgear WNDR3700v2 router .. is there anybody out there that is experiencing the same issues? What can I do to fix this? Howlong should I wait to see if it gets resolved on its own? : )
