Check out the date on this thread...

http://www.mw3-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1402

This guy mentioned that the MOAB would be cool (on July 1) and they even discussed it NOT being a game ending streak.

Not saying the OP didn't send the email but it was on other people's mind as well (oddly enough).

On topic, I do believe your story and it is great that they took your idea into consideration. Hopefully, your idea is another great addition and not some gimmick.

Some of us are just dumbfounded by the fact that he decided to post this AFTER the trailer. If his story is true don't you think he would have posted this before the trailer?

good point. you made me take down the discussion. It was just coincidental i thought of it at about the same time they were wrapping it up. Still it was fun to see them say weapon proficiency on multiplayer reveal ha.

Topic has been removed due to a person logically convincing me it was merely i coincidence i thought of the idea.

Ipokeureyes made a valid point at bottom of discussion:

"to all those calling bs....check the date he claims to have sent it....may 26th of this year.....6 months before release....They wouldnt of had time to discuss the idea raised in the e-mail at a senior level....and then discuss with the designers/programmers how to correctly implement it into the game...and then figure out the exact level/speed of gaining proficiency....and then design the actual interface for it...and then write it into the game programme....and then test it all out to see if it works...and then fix any issues...and then test it again....they wouldnt of had time to get it done as a surprise for release...never mind in time for a trailer...of call of duty XP

Never mind the fact that with 6 months left until release.....no lets make that 4 months for the XP event....they wouyld of all been working their *** of to get it ready in time anyway...never mind throwing in a new concept to be included in the game months before it needs to be ready"

You are right. It was just a cool thing i thought of it back then and at the same time they were probalt in the midst of finishing up the details on it. It makes me all the more wanting to buy it!

You sir have won.

ok pipebimbman well if this was truely your idea then you should just be happy that you came up with it, not going and trying to boast about it because no one is going to take you seriously. Sorry thats just the way it is, just be happy for yourself without seeking others reckongnition. And don't fire back at me saying you aren't seeking others recognition because if you weren't then you never would have posted this. Also about that whole forums just came up thing, you could have posted this immediatley to see what people thought of it but no you decided to wait until a weapon proficiency video came out (mmmmm thats strange).

@ mircro8589 The rbowling@infinityward.com was an e-mail that was designed for feedback that i saw he posted on his twitter account.

@avengedyesterday Never did i once claim it was soley my idea, quite opposite i stated earlier that i knew it had been tossed around before. Where it hasn't been introduced was in COD. I like COD so much because of the portrayal of many different guns, and since i am a very big gun enthusiest in real life i was trying to add input as to how the new COD game might have some realism in it. This idea came to me after thinking about how gun proficiency really is a big factor into being able to fully optimize a gun. The navy seals train specifically to master all guns known to current warfare and even many generations previous warfare.

Yes the devs. at IW and sledgehammer are very creative, but even they themselves admit without fan feedback and input there would be no COD series.

Well it could be true. I know last year when Black Ops was being developed, people had map ideas that they posted on threads. One was a rocket taking off in the middle of the game, look what happened. I'm also pretty sure that guy got recognized by Treyarch, but I mean a ROCKET taking off in the middle of a multiplayer match, you'd think that's impossible, but Treyarch shows otherwise.

How ignorant can you be thinking it is all your brilliant idea? These were all ideas that have been talked about for a long time.

I take that back you are right. Thank you for shining this brilliant light on the game designers who are resposible for producing multibillion dollar games.

You guessed it. Because I'm not impressed about a seemingly coincidental prediction, I am obviously 12 years old.

If you feel that your suggestions were implemented into MW3, then congratulations. On a completely separate note, you have way too many unread messages in your inbox.

what. this makes no sense. these mw3 forums just came up several weeks ago. i sent the e-mail months ago. i didn't need the acceptance from others to send in my idea. i don't see what the fascination with trying to claim something is fake. it's not fake.. at all.
