Because we paid $60 for the game and if we sell it we lose like $40 on it so that's a stupid idea. If someone bought elite that's another $60 they would lose if they sold or didn't play it anymore. It's just a matter of money. Also I'm sure everyones friends are playing it so if they want to play with their friends then they have to play it.

You know for a couple of month there I actually though I loved it after playing it constantly, after the weekend and playing Bops I realized that I didn't love it, was only used to it, now going back to Bops for a couple of month and the game is going to my brother until the new maps are released to the public quite simply because I paid for Elite so want to get a shot of my new content.

Because we want the game to improve. But to improve the game you have to play the game.

Firstly, I've already spent $NZ 230 on the Hardened Edition & already pre-paid for new maps.

Secondly, a majority of my mates have sold Black Ops for MW3 so I don't get to party up with them. The time I play Black Ops are with mates who play zombies only.

Because we want the game to improve. But to improve the game you have to play the game.

Lastly, this

I don't find MW3 completely unplayable but the negatives outweigh the positives compared to Black Ops. The only two aspects of Black Ops that frustrated me the most was Second Chance & the choppy hit detection. If I was ever frustrated at Black Ops, I'd just play zombies. Spec Ops survival is just bland when you can only have 2 players.

Friends play it.

I am one of the palyers that actually quit. I played for about 2 weeks and that was it. I have been enjoying Black Ops ever since. MW3 is just way out of sync as to what a COD should be. Nothing will probably ever surpass COD4 for its simplistic fluid gameplay, but as far as "modern" COD games goes, Black Ops is by far the best. This is including W@W, MW2, and MW3.

As a player that gets host 99% of the time, this game is literally unplayable. I play hardcore modes only and it is literally like 11 other players in the lobby are playing hardcore and I am playing core against enemies that have jugg and ballisitc vests. Also as host there were TONS of times where I would sneak up behind an enemy a unload 7-8 shots in their back only to have them turn because they heard the sound of my gun and panic spun shooting killing me instantly.

I really wanted this game to be good, but it failed miserably. I went on vacation and brought MW3 with me and played it on a hotel's internet connection and it was night and day. I have a 50 down and 5 up connection at my house with 15-20 ms ping to ANYWHERE in the US, and at the hotel it was a 1 download and like a .45 up with 150 ms ping to a 50 mile away server. The game played almost flawlessly on this garbage connection. I literally felt invincible. The lag comp is HUGE in this game. It punishes people for having a great connection.

I looked the other night and I literally have 13 hours into the multiplayer on MW3 and over 30 DAYS on Black Ops. All of the other COD's all the way back to COD1 I have over 10 days played. I have yet to prestige in MW3 and STILL have 15 hours of 2x XP from the Mountain Dew promotion. I will probably never use it. In my experience the ONLY players that enjoy MW3 are people with poor internet, quickscopers, cheaters, and bad players.

I still play for the reasons listed, and this...the older games are hacked so bad they are almost unplayable.  If W@W was still supported, I probably would be playing that, as it was my favorite COD.

Which also explains why it is no longer supported, no one would buy new releases.

I still think MW2 and MW3 should have just been expansion packs for COD 4.
