Game feels like MW2. Not like Black Ops at all. Played at xp.

You're telling me practicing with the Throwing Knife in MW2 will not prepare me for it in MW3 after having played Black Ops for so long and using the Tomahawk?

All the machinama respawn guys said it played just like MW2. I trust what they had to say over wiggy any day of the week. Hutch straight up said it plays like MW2. Hopefully MW3 wont have terrible sync issues that ruin the game like BLOPS.

To be honest Wigs, I'm sticking to Black Ops until MW3 comes out.

Traded in MW2 a few months due to the fact that I found the game unbearable.

There wasn't a game mode where some douche was tubing or running around "commando lunging" with a tactical knife.

COD4 & WAW is gone from my collection, mainly because of the hackers & the games I get into are mostly 2 bar games.

The only way I see players preparing for MW3 is to start private matches on XBOX Live and place rules to what a player can/cannot use.

I have played some MW2 on the PC via AlterIWnet and played in servers where they can kick players for using tubes or commando so you could follow the same idea on XBOX Live but keep it in private matches.

For instance, if you started your own MW2 private matches, I would "ban" Stopping Power, OMA, Commando, Danger Close & Last Stand. I'm not sure of keeping Lightweight since it's a deathstreak (Juiced) now.

For deathstreaks, I would "ban" just Painkiller & Copycat since most of the other deathstreaks are coming back to MW3.

For weapons, I would just "ban" shotguns unless players agree to treat them as primaries. (without switching to their primary)

This is probably the closest you'll get to playing MW3, private matches with rules.

If you enter public, it'll just be a f**kload of tubes and MLC douchebags.

I would join if you did plan to start up some private MW2 friendly games but I traded in the game.

There aren't that many hackers in CoD4 as you might think... 6/10 of the games I play are playable, and the hacked ones are usually benevolent. Just stick to anything but Search and you should be fine.
