Myabe the team you play with sucks cause when I play with ym clan we can set traps easy on maps. Example on outpost you can set up clans in tht bunker tunnel and just storm in and kill them all. Every map has a place for traps even dome does so idk what you are talking bout.

Its not that the maps are too small, there is just ZERO tactical ability in any cod maps, theres places you can go and fight, and theres places you can go and die. You cant lay ambushes, set traps, you cant do **** other then run around with akimbo weapons and silencers and pray that the team your playing has poor aim so you might get your AC-130. They need for the next cod too make it more team friendly, less lone wolfy, bigger maps, and have game modes of intrest, like take the beach or secure the crash, i duno. like you gota get 75 kills to get off the beach(TDM) then blow the gates(DEMOLITION), Take and hold the base till they route(Headquaters). IIt will make the games last more then a few minutes. and you will have to WORK AS A TEAM. coz at the minute this is far from a team game!

After a few more days of playing this game, I have not changed my mind. As a matter of fact, it has made me think that the maps not only suck, they are EPIC FAILS!! I have read numerous forum posts BEGGING IW to fix the spawn problems. Well, they can't!! The maps are so damn small that they can't fix them. They also have programmed a revenge spawn location so you can easily track down the person who just killed you so you can get that REVENGE title. Don't believe me?? Well ask yourself this....How many times have you killed someone, respawened, and realize that the guy who just killed you is running your direction? I would bet at least 3-4 times a match. I can only play this game an hour or so because the maps and spawn systems just make me irritated and not have any type of fun at all. The guys I play with decided last night to put in MW2 and play it for old times sake. Guess what happened???? We had a ******* BLAST!! We laughed, ran around, won, loss, and had a great time for 6 hours. We didn't noob tube, quick scope, commando lunge, or any other cheap trick that's in MW2 and we won every match except for 2 in 6 hours. Even if the other team was doing that crap...the maps allowed us to flank them and get the upper hand. Tell me a map in MW3 that you can do that with?? NONE!! If anyone wants to play some MW2 later, message me, i'll be on that MW, not this one.

i agree that this game didnt have much effort put into creating it but its still a call of duty modern warfare game even though cod4 was way better. The maps sucked for me at first I hated playing this game but after around 10 hours of play i got a bit adjusted to them found a good spot in seatown where i always get like 25 kills in a team deathmatch. but i have to say the guns suck and are totally unknown unlike cod4 where u had m16 m4 ak47 mp5 uzi etc. and in cod4 there were so many good sniping spots in mw3 there are ZERO sniping spots because there are barely any buildings in this stupid game. i disagree with activision for putting prestige mode in this game because it goes up to rank 80 and u lose all ur stuff when u enter a new prestige icon. its only meant for those who play this game 24/7 and know they will make it there to the top. cod4 was so fun i had all the golden guns and i was rank 55 10th prestige and was ranked around 3000th in the world in everything in the barracks/leaderboards (i played for 36 days) world at war was good to but i didnt like the world war 2 theme but i liked how they kept it real simple and the same as cod4 just new maps etc (which were good to) i never had a chance to play mw2 or black ops cuz my ps3 was ylod that time but whatever...im sure i will enjoy mw3 the more i get used to it...but activision really messed up this time and they have no idea what they did to deserve this...i wish they wouldve just kept it the same as cod4 their maps were so kool...i remember crash and crossfire and alot of other ones were all decent and always anticipated to wait for to play in...but mw3 what the hell is outpost it snows so much in that map u cant even see the enemies...and no joke on this...the enemies look exactly the same as the allies..like delta force and spetznas look the same u cant tell them apart but in cod4 and world at war u could tell who was the enemy and the allie because they looked completely different in mw3 u gotta guess before u shoot, activision is retarded for releasing such a piece of crap game..i hope they dont ruin modern warfare 4 because if they do...that will be the end of them..long live the cod franchise boo activision.!

@Snipingdbag, are you serious when you say it's harder to camp? The maps are so much more congested that almost everyone is hiding on a side of a dumpster or box in an allyway waiting for you to walk/run by. These maps were meant to stop camping, IMO, it's made it worse. This game isn't great, it's good. If they put what they have added in MW3 on the MW2 maps, this would be the PERFECT FPS.....

Did you really need to post that 4 times? Bar the retarded spawns & lag spike / frame rate issues, mainly as host, this game is great imo. Maps are good. Yes, some classic maps back would be nice. Yes, more diverse maps would be great. A map like firing range where you can snipe and rush just fine, would be epic, but really the current maps are not half as bad as people are making out, the stupid spawns just f-ck it up. It's harder to camp on you say? Ah, but that's a good thing.

I agree, honestly I just picked up MW3 today, and I tried sooo hard to like it. But honestly I have never been so pissed off and unhappy with a game. There are currently so many things about it I just think are crap and that will hopefully be resolved with some patches. I know a lot of us where probably hoping for an MW2 with no comando lunge, noob toob, one man army, last stand bullshit. You know, just and expanded and polished version, but I'm sad to say that so far this MW3 is not even close, and in my opinon as of now is to full of gimmicky bullshit and cattering to noobs and bad players when you're always going to have them in any game, they always have to learn, catering to them is always going to be a mistake. Sure, make there lives a bit easier, but don't cater to them. Part of the fun of a game is skill progression.

But honestly, one of the thigns that stands out above all the rest, THE SHITTY MAPS! 'Decreased danger spots and power positions', that's crap it takes away the fun and fluid feeling to maps as well as just making games about who has a better connection and OP guns/perks to win the random gun fights every where. But when you couple these new map designes with all the brand new players, the noobs, the shitty players, the spawn system, it leads to so much bullshit and it's not any where near as fluid feeling as all those great maps used to be.

I agree with some of the other posters, I would love to see some of the greats return . Afghan, Terminal (minus the noob tubes), High Rise, Scrap Yard, all great maps. I don't know Black Ops that well, but a lot of the maps had areas that are way to easy to get traped in with a shitty team, and they're not super balanced with nice flanking or escape routes, as well as not much ariel support cover.

I am an avid Call of Duty fan, a hard core skilled player from COD 3. I put a lot into my game and usually enjoy every minute of it, so I really hope some patches and new maps are in the making! (plus side, glad quick scoping is back, but fix the damn hit markers and hit detection!)

I like some maps, some maps are decent, a few I hate. They clearly did focus on gun on gun action, which is a great thing.

my opinion on all maps;

SEATOWN

A costal town. Narrow streets bring hectic, close encounters.

Mweh to easy to camp on

DOME

Small outpost in the desert. Fast and frantic action.

FUN

ARKADEN

Medium sized German mall. Intense Search & Destroy games.

Epic

BAKAARA

Crash site in an African city. Classic Urban combat.

Like it, good for sniping / scoping / ars

RESISTANCE

Parisian district. Great for Domination and Kill Confirmed.

Mweh, too camp / pre-ads friendly

DOWNTURN

Urban map with wide streets. Good for long and short range fights.

Alright

BOOTLEG

Medium sized Asian market. Fun for all game modes.

Also alright

CARBON

Medium sized refinery. Great for any number of players.

Decent

HARDHAT

A small construction site. Fast paced, close quarter action.

Pretty beast

LOCKDOWN

European city center. Great for Team Defender.

Window camping Heaven

VILLAGE

Large African village. Great for all game modes.

Alright, looks nice too

FALLEN

Derelict Russian ghost town. Great for careful, tactical engagements.

Hate it, balcony camping Heaven

OUTPOST

Large Siberian airbase. Great for epic large battles.

Refuse to play it

INTERCHANGE

Destroyed freeway. Great for a wide range of spaces and styles.

Decent for sniping / scoping / ars

UNDERGROUND

Small subway station. Fast paced action both inside and out.

Beast

MISSION

African colonial settlement. Fight to control the center.

Good mix between ars / smgs

I don't think you get the complexity involved in creating a map that is balanced.

It sounds like most people are upset at the lack of classic camping spots. So you won't be able to hide up on top of a building and spam noob tubes with OMA. Good riddance.

And not being able to climb on everything? Are you playing a platformer, or a shooter?

I love the new maps, for the most part. I'm tired of people thinking they are clever by hiding in the exact same spots that every other camper likes to pitch their tent and lob noob tubes out of. If you want a place to catch a breather, work with your team to cover a building. There are not so many entrances to buildings that a 6 man team can't lock it down.

Yeah these maps are pathetic. I could easily make better ones. lol

i just dont get the thought process behind them, every single map is close quarters.

Im a die hard COD fan, ive loved every single COD from day one. This is by far the worst of them yet, going back to black ops until they fix it and release some maps worth playing.

Any way of getting a refund on Elite?

Re: The Maps SUCK!!!

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 23:20:07 GMT

Maybe the maps are all the same cause they want you to get excited for new ones, meaning they are trying to get an extra $50 from everyone.

I don't think they suck but they definetely are all very small and similar. Variety would be nice.

Re: The Maps SUCK!!!

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 22:36:59 GMT

One more thing about this game. I can only play about an hour or two at most because of how hectic IW made the maps to be. I honestly can say I CAN'T wait for the first DLC. I am PRAYING to whomever will listen at IW, PLEASE, for the love of god, bring back maps from the other 2 MW series!! Or at least look at them for the design. I can honestly say that if the maps don't get better, I'll be playing something else....possibly Skyrim, UC3, Batman, and FFXIII-2. Just sayin....

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:56:10 GMT

Lmfao! The maps suck donkey balls ... way to small and to many "tunnel ways". Maps like Afghan, Wasteland etc were really good. I hope they either bring them back or make maps in the similar pattern. Mw3 maps are **** especially dome or w.e I can't even manage to remember their freaking names ...

Re: The Maps SUCK!!!

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:17:03 GMT

@ purplex....wtf are you saying? I thought ebonics went the way of the duckbilled platapus a long time ago. The new maps don't have any personality to them. The maps in MW2 had some room to move with the exceptions of Rust, Vacant, and Skidrow. You weren't hearded like cattle into alleyways to die. You could chose a path that had some space to move in. The MAJORITY of the maps in MW3 all lead to your death. I went over 30 kills and 5 or less deaths in a LARGE percentage of my matches in MW2....even with the other team filled with Noob Tubes, OMA, and Scavenger refills. The majority of maps, in my opinion, have the feel of Trailer Park. Close quarters and no real room to move. I am really hoping they bring some maps thru the DLC that have the size and feel of Afghan, Derail, Fuel, and Wasteland. Those maps were fun because they were wide open, with a few exceptions, and could see in advance where people were so you could plan your attack accordingly. They made the maps so fast paced, it takes some of the enjoyment out of playing. I think they did a lot of good things with the changes they made to make the gameplay better, but the maps take those improvements and throw them out the window in my opinion.
