I just get tired of playing the damn thing over and over. And I'm not seeing it in the rotation as much as some people are.

Noob, I feel your pain regarding people camping on Terminal in MW3 ... but I think you were playing a different version of MW2 than I was. I was not fond of Terminal then and I'm not now because the only way you have half a chance against all the campers is to camp yourself.

For the life of me I have yet to figure out how Terminal got recycled as a fan favorite whereas something like Rust did not.

I don't like playing anything on that map.

HCKC is an objective game, just not on this terrible map. You couldn't pay me to play TDM on this map.

That's why I don't play non objective games, because people can win by laying on their snatches the whole game.

And I get easier wins sitting in my spawn sniping it up while kids try to launch inaccurate destined for a trophy system tubes my way in HCKC.

Getting what they deserve? I get easier wins this way because the retards of today want to sit in their spwan with snipers while we have 2 flags. They go negative and lose, we go positive and win. I guess we are getting what we deserve.

Oh yeah, cuz this just represents how awesome the community was back in the days of the abomination known as MW2. The map didn't need to come back, and the people that liked it back then are getting what they deserve for making it a "fan favorite."

They should have brought back a better flowing map like Favela.

I can't speak to some of the stuff you were saying because I play differently than I think you do. I have a much slower internet connection than most people who play MW3. Only 1.5Mbps / 0.512Mbps and 90% of the time it isn't even close to that speed. Especially the upload speed.

The point being I really like this map because it is a little easier to play when what I'm seeing is a little behind everyone else and what I'm doing is slower to get up to everyone else. Which for me is like every night. I like the maps size and the way it's laid out. I like the look of it too.

Some of the newer maps are so hard for me to play because of this problem. That it's like I get shot then a micro second later I see the player. It's like a micro-slide show all the time. Until the standards for service get better for everyone maps like this one help and are fun. I'm glad they gave it to us in MW3.

The tiny maps like Rust and Scrapyard.. maps like Nuketown make close quarters action fun because it pretty much means more kills for everyone, or more people going negative. I absolutely love ruining a tryhards K/D, W/L ratio on these small maps.. they can't camp or spawn trap you anywhere.. it's all based on who can kill who quicker. It might be a tube fest on MW3 though.. truly wish they would nerf Blast Shield into Flak Jacket.

it's the same as it was back then.. minus the tube warfare. The map is still just as crappy I mean campy as it was in MW2.. there were 0 changes made to the map so it's not like those who frequented the map previously changed their playstyle from then to now

the map is perfect all that they need to change is the drop zone spawns.

The map itself is good, it's just that the CoD community has changed since the days of CoD4 and MW2. Back in MW2, people weren't afraid to run around the map and go for objectives. Terminal was a great map back then. Now, all people do is snipe from the cockpit, their spawn, or from behind the plane. I hate playing Terminal now because todays CoD players don't even care about winning, only kills. I'd rather have Shipment back.

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 20:00:59 GMT

have to disagree, terminal was one of the maps I hated the most in that game. I would rather play shipment or favela, or rust before playing terminal.

But, one mans' barf is another mans... steak.

terminal is better than 80% of mw3 maps. So its welcomed.

Terminal blows.

It's a quickscopers wet dream.

I avoid it on the level I avoid playing on Underground, as in... NEVER.

I will pull my team out if either of these maps ends up being the selection.

I agree with you 100%. Although, I love the fact that they brought back and old map, because it brings back good memories of the game and how it has advanced in some places. Unfortunately, like you said, they didn't revise the map at all and is completely out of place in the new MW3 territory. If they were going to bring an old map back, they need to revise it so it fits its new location. I'm surprised they didn't realize this would happen, especially since Treyarch did the same thing but actually remade the maps to fit their new location and was a great success and extremely fun to play. Hopefully they will learn from their mistakes and not let this happen again.
