Non-premium members have to buy the DLC in a collection.

Players who do not have Elite have to buy the DLC in a collection.

They are effectively the same thing when it comes to matchmaking.

The general playlists have only added those maps that are in the collection so you get a 'split' identical to that in Black Ops - those with and those without. It doesn't matter if you are an Elite Member or not.

You are correct in what you say.

Maybe it's just me but the matchmaking is just so much slower in MW3 compared to Black Ops.

Yes I agree but that is to do with the matchmaking itself and (I believe) not the maps (DLC or otherwise) Matchmaking has been slow since they patched it to try and get more local players to yourself - it was faster before but you may end up playing with anyone from anywhere. Now it is supposed to link you with players closer.

I would prefer it to have the option to search Local (maybe same time zone, Country - like UK), Continent (Europe, USA, Asia etc) or Global.

C4 in Dead Mans Hand is WAY TOO OVERPOWERED!!! It seems to be a mini nuke and devastates any in range - which is far greater than standard C4. If it has to remain in MW3 PLEASE amend it to be like standard range C4. Hopefully Black Ops 2 will NOT have deathstreks - they need to be removed forever!!!

By moving the number of players required to start a match from 8 to 6 would be ok (but in certain modes and maps however, that would be a joke. FFA fine on all maps but for anything other than Dome that would be silly - Liberation or Black Box for example seem very unpopulated with 4 a side let alone reducing it to 3. I would rather wait a minute till a couple more join the lobby in this case.

Collision detection with your own team is most noticeable at the start of matches and is very annoying. It can also be annoying during the game and I often get killed by it. Especially if one idiot stops or lies down in doorways and you can't get through. I have also been bumped off the edge in overwatch by team mates!!!!

As far as I am concerned I want a game that is balanced for ALL players - no advantages or disadvantages - just a level playing field.

I also want Grenade icons to be displayed ONLY if they are from the enemy and are going to damage/kill you. Again this can be very annoying and lead to unwarranted deaths.

I understand the character flinch though and this can be greatly reduced by using 'Focus' proficiency. I admit it is annoying at times but you might as well remove Focus too without it. It is annoying when you line up a perfect shot but get hit by a bullet and throw your aim way off target and can't get any on because of it. This I find most annoying with a Sniper Rifle as someone hits you from across the map with a AR, SMG or even Machine Pistols but you can't aim to hit them because of excessive flinching. So I suppose I am on the fence with this one too. Maybe the Flinch could be tamed a bit and focus stops it entirely???

Lean on the PC version has no interest to me as I am a console player.

There are several factors that to me make this one of the best FPS shooters online (notice I said 'to me' and not a sweeping statement like THIS IS THE BEST FPS ONLINE SHOOTER as others will have different opinions) and smooth 60fps and 'feel' are just some of them. However I do play other games as well - not just FPS or shooter games but many games do not have the same appeal or 'feel' when online.

The only other thing I would change that you ahven't mentioned about the gameplay would be a 'buff' to the weaker weapons to offer more variety and choice. It seems that I am continually using the same few weapons -- although now I am trying others to get them gold as my favourites (and everybody elses) are already gold but I must admit some are really not FUN to use and have no distinct reason to use them over others in the same class. I don't know why anyone would use or want to use the MG36 for example over any other of the LMG's. I like the look and overall feel of the CM901 BUT also know that I will lose every gun fight as it's fire rate is so slow even if I get the first shot in - why does the Type95 have rapid fire attachment  but this doesn't! I like the FAD as well but it does so little damage and takes 4 bullets minimum to kill - it has lower damage than the PP90M1, has slower movement speed (I compared these 2 has they have the same fire rate and still require 5 bullets at range although the range is better on the FAD). All primary weapons apart from the FAD take at least 1 bullet less at close range although it does have a better headshot multiplier to compensate. However I would prefer it to have a little more damage maybe raised to 35 instead of 30 and maybe reduce the headshot multiplier to 1.4 Like the other AR's. The M4A1 struggles at range too and it seems these weapons are best used on smaller maps or CQC maps - but they are often outgunned by SMG's in this area and you lose movement speed as well. If some of these were Buffed they would be more competitive and offer more choice and variety in the game - It is no point having these things in IF they are not as competitive - that is why the majority of players use the same few weapons.

Spawns can be funky, but for the most part I don't have an issue with them. I play mostly domination and kill confirmed. We seldom have an issue with spawning unless we're tac inserting incorrectly or we're hosting an 18 player custom match on the smallest maps possible.

 

You're either lying or ridiculously lucky, all that happens to me is revenge spawns. If there's some formula you know of to prevent this please share it.
