First off, good no more Semtex Juggernaut kills. Second, I play for Wii so I would hope they updated Wii with the "all platforms."  Please don't patch the Outpost hanger wall glitch

Dude if you love MW2 that much.. Play it! Problem solved.

Full of cheaters. Not much point in playing it, although it's still more enjoyable than the lag-ridden MW3. They promised to properly patch it to get rid of the cheaters, but that was just another lie. We never received a patch, and I waited 9+ months for it.

 

I don't feel like playing either of these games. I've ordered BF3, should receive it some time this week.

 

These guys created the lag issues by ruining the perfectly working netcode MW2 had. I'm quite sure they did this on purpose to cater to casual players with their crappy casual net connections (the majority). They probably figured that giving those players an advantage would keep them happy and maximize DLC sales.

 

I don't believe for a minute that they haven't been able to reproduce these issues in their testing like they claim.

 

They know what changes they've made and I'm certain they know what's causing these issues. The problem is that they don't give a **** about the minority.

I agree there's still lag issues (although not as much after the patch you guys are still waiting for), I don't think they've deliberately made it laggy, they've done some things for BKs for sure (DMH, FS, QuickScoping, STILL panic knifing). But apart from that it's not too bad.

If they can't reproduce lag issues in testing they should just join a few public matches!

I don't think the people that care too much are that big of a minority, I'm guessing maybe 15-25%+ of players are quite regular players of CoD that do get regularly annoyed and affected by these issues.

Btw I totally agree with the patch issues, I think CoD4 especially should get a patch to stop all the infections as it pretty much ruins arguably the best CoD released, if you can't ban the cheaters at least fix the problem?

The LMGs do need a buff. I feel like MW3 is close to being well balanced (especially now that most of the shotguns are really good), but the LMGs desperately need a quick buff, right now they have:

- Worse range than ARs (partially a result of the close range damage being 40 or less instead of 42 or 45 and partially a result of the damage drop-off being set too close).

- way more recoil than ARs unless you are prone. The prone thing is a great idea in theory but in practice there are too many areas that prone is not a viable option, especially when you consider the fact that going prone actually makes it harder to see people in the distance (try using the prone trick on hardhat in the middle and you'll see what I mean) The recoil is even more ridiculous when you consider that the recoil is still high even with:

- A slower rate of fire. The LMGs actually fire much slower than what the game guides say. The LSW, MG36, and MK46 all fire at a rate of around 715 RPM instead of 800 RPM, 769 RPM, and 859 RPM, the PKP fires at around 615 RPM instead of 705 RPM, and the M60 fires at around 575 RPM instead of 600 RPM. The M60's slightly slower RoF isn't too big of a deal but for the other guns it's ridiculous, especially for the LSW and MK46. This low rate of fire also applies to the rapid fire attachment where the weapons are firing faster than before, but not as fast as the game guides say rapid fire should be.

- Very obstructive iron-sights with no ironsight zoom bonus like the ARs, which forces the player to use marksman if they want to use the LMG's ironsights for long range (even though LMGs are supposed to be great at long range).

I'm okay with the other disadvantages (slower movement, slower ADS, more vulnerable when sprinting, etc.) because those are what an LMG user expects.

And the M60 isn't even that bad, mainly because the 50-30 damage, but the other LMGs need to be buffed, and a great start would be to increase the RoFs of all the LMGs to what the guides say they are coupled with a small decrease in recoil. That way the LMGs would at least have a higher damage per second than the ARs.

There is also the glitch(?) where the grip reduces the RoF of the MG36 to that of the M60.

As I said, I Iike MW3 and enjoy that right now 4 of the 5 non-riot-shield classes are viable. I just wish that more than one of the LMGs had real advantages over ARs in more than magazine size.

Maybe some characters should be excluded from this discussion as they are neither constructive nor entertaining.

im not trying to flame anyone but lag in fps games has always been around, ive played fps games since the first doom games, was a hardcore counter strike player, guys i know its annoying and we all think lag compensation is rubbish but this is a game designed for everyone not just enthusiasts who spend a ton of money on their connections and headsets. i feel ya pain too i spend 100 bucks a month for a good connection and i rage also but at the end of the day its just a game guys. relax!

what bugs me with comments like "it's just a game" is this. If it doesn't matter why would I buy it, why would I buy a year subscription of Elite to stay ahead of the pack, why would I buy a new controller when my old one is worn out and why would I upgrade my connection to stay competetive? yes it is a game and I'm playing it for fun. getting a righteous kill is fun and getting mowed down by someone who hasn't entered my vview yet is not. multiply this by a few thousand and you find a) someone who's pretty pissed or b) someone who lost interest in this whole thing. just my 2 cents.
