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.

Currently party matchmaking is slower than it was in Black Ops because the current system is trying to match you into a session where all players have an equivalent ping to the host the theory being that disparate pings to a host lead to lag. This, however, takes time and can lead to low connection lobbies being joined by all players.

We are changing this to a paradigm where the party leader dictates the area in which a game is searched for and optimum sessions to join. If 5 players are in LA and 1 in New York, for example, use the select as party host feature to ensure that one of the 5 LA players is host.

This is being updated in the next TU.

How about checking out the range and strength of the 1887 shotgun. You can snipe across the map with it. The power is way too strong in my opinion. I have had the real thing and it is not that powerful. It is an unfair advantage. Also, even if you are shooting first the player using the shotgun wins the fight. Check it out....or everyone will be using nothing but shotguns...

OCool1031 thank you for this post. I am currently discussing the SGs with the MP team but it's good to hear a counter argument to the BUFF, BUFF, BUFF mantra that is regular on this forum. It's good to see there are opposing viewpoints.

Ghandi, are we still on schedule for the matchmaking patch sometime within the next two weeks? Thats all i really care about, i can deal with everything else in the game.

Yes all going well. It may be delayed on one platform, however, due to first party submission policies.
