Not at all, MW3 is pretty good IMO. Though I am annoyed that MW3 won't recognize that I played black ops and got 15th prestige. Because of this I only have 3 prestige tokens when I should have 4.
I think we all got 3.

Same here. I prestiged in cod4 and WaW and I only got 2 tokens. It also shows my ranks from those games as max level no prestige even though I prestiged :/

First thoughts on the game.

It's fairly balanced. People have already found gay **** to camp on, but it's balanced. The looping of killstreaks though? That could get PRETTYYYYYY ridiculous.

tim where you, swamp and I are playing, or trying to play, neither of us are good enough hosts to find a game lmao

:phone:
Sorry to all here who sent me invites over the day, I brought my 360 over to a friend's house for the day and played a 9 hour MW3 session. Tomorrow, I will join your XBL parties/MW3 game lobbies.

Sorry again. 4 bar allday errday.

So my thoughts on this game so far
The game is a lot of fun.It's really fast paced and I like that.The snipers are so so ******* insane in this game.I can't stand it but I'm not seeing all that many grizzes.
The maps.This game has A LOT of bad maps. I mean A LOT of them.Most of them are super one sided or just dumb.
Also the UAV spam is a little ridiculous but i'll stop caring once I unlock stingers :awesome:
The only complaints I have about MW3 (so far):

- Snipers are OP (THANK GOD FOR BALLISTIC VESTS)
- **** assassin corner campers up the ***
- Wanted pro is in the game...x_x
- UAV SPAM (Already have assassin pro :awesome:)
- Grenades are weak as hell
- The map 'Mission' IS TERRIBLE!!!
- The spawn system is worse than MW2/Black Ops Nuketown and Gears 3 combined.

The UMP/SCAR-L/Type95 are my favourite weapons and Dom is my favourite map. Got a triple UMP spray in my first game too, got a kill first before dying and went positive. :awesome:

Friend posted a picture on facebook spoiling the MW3 campaign. I know who I'm punching next time I see them.

How are the maps in this game vs Black Ops. I thought the maps in Black Ops were SO bland so I hope that's still not the case.
Pretty good. (Not 'Mission' tho...)

Arkaden's just a weird-*** map. It's probably amongst my least favorite for FFA. I do like the concept, but I dunno.

Carbon is probably my favorite map thus far. There was another one I really liked, but I can't remember the name of it. Dome has bad spawns, otherwise that one would be up there too.

I freaking love the CM901. Its damage is just so bonkers. And dat hipfire. It'll probably be my weapon of choice unless I find out that there's either a Shotgun or SMG that I have a lot fun with (so far there really isn't).
Dome is an awesome map!

The UMP isn't that good, it loses a lot over range. I use some different assault rifle I unlocked late, like the G90 or something?

Anyway I went on Gears again just now, MW3 gets boring quickly I noticed, it's just start a match, get 2 EMP's, finish match, rinse and repeat.
The UMP ***** in MW3!!! I run: UAV, CUAV and EMP. Support allday errday.

This game is really hit or miss. Some games are really dumb, some are fun. Kinda expected.
So far, I'm loving the game!

Would you guys say that this game is exactly like MW2?
Except, I don't get blown up that often. **** that one noob tuber today...he prolly misses DC OMA pro pipes.

I like this game a lot, but I can't stand how much people camp already. All of my deaths are from queers behind boxes and trucks and whatnot. Like, is it really worth $60 if you're going to do nothing but camp and clip behind **** every single game? I don't understand, never will.
**** those assassin ghost corner campers.

This game has set a new record for fastest a cod game has ever been ruined.

Yayyyyy
Nah.

Well Dom in this game is the worst thing ever invented.

I have such mixed thoughts on this game
Dom is good.

Whoever did the programming for Dome's respawns during FFA should be brutally murdered.

I would be running around, and suddenly I freeze like I'm on a bad connection, and then I'm getting shot in the back from out of nowhere. Look at the killcam, they had spawned on top of me. So even though I was attempting to move, I couldn't. This has happened to me a couple times already, both times on Dome.

Yeah. I officially hate that map.
They literally take 'final kill' seriously in this game, doesn't matter if it's 20 seconds before the end of the match. Love how theatre mode saves kill cams too.

I love it! Don't have to die to reset my kill streaks!

Did you play at least one match after you prestiged?
......was I......supposed to......?

That would explain it >_>
Yeah, you have to.

I'm pretty sure Assassin Pro was created just to keep looping Support killstreaks from getting out of hand. It's so good that it's hard to justify using any other red perk over it, so it's almost guaranteed to force a Support streak user to run UAV/Ballistic Vest/SAM Turret as their options if they want to loop to max effectiveness.

Is it me or are SAM turrets hella weak in this game? And why does it take forever to get blind eye pro and stingers?

Okay so my thoughts on the game.

Maps:

I like them! They were all pretty solid. No maps stuck out to me as amazing but at the same time none of them really rubbed me the wrong way so no complaints.

Killstreaks:

Specialist sucks. Assault is the usual but with support there, I see no better option. The ability to die and keep it going is just too good. And I love Ballistic vests. Juggernaut was fun too.

Weapons:

Balanced as far as I can see. Loving the Type 95. No complaints.

Overall Gameplay:

Pretty smooth. I'm really enjoying it so far.

Good games today hotarms, snack, and thunder.

Yeah, SAM Turrets are kinda meh in this game. My guess is they did it to balance out the reliability of getting up to SAM Turret when compared to getting up to even an Attack Helicopter in the Assault Package. It's probably also the reason why Blind Eye Pro and the Stinger take forever to get.

Also I actually really like Specialist. Not having all the killing/utility equipment at your disposal kinda sucks, but getting that 8th kill and suddenly feeling like you're CoD's version of Superman is awesome.

I have not had a problem with snipers yet. Could change of course, but they haven't bothered me at all. I rarely see anyone using them.

I saw a lot of wannabee zzirgrizz's today spinning around like ballerinas trying to 360 no scope me. Good thing I had a ballistic vest on most of the time. :troll:

Did anybody here get banned?
Someone could've reported you with their friends and easily gotten you banned.

There's no high octane action in this game. You run around like a headless chicken, and you get your pointstreaks. This is the number 1 game for rewarding you for doing bad, and because of that it eliminates the whole point of the game, you can't even play for fun because once you've played one match you've played them all.

The USP is soooo much fun. I've been using it as my main weapon and getting in the top 3 in FFA :awesome:

Want some cheese with that whine?

I don't think the Support Killstreak thing is that broken. Yeah, kills carrying over is pretty dumb, but none of the things they get are that great, imo.

I laughed when I read this post.

And I'll add the new contact info to the OP in a bit.

Rewards you for doing bad? Because of deathstreaks? They aren't even that overpowered. Also as for "you've played one match you've played them all" can't you say the same thing for most multiplayer games? I still find multiplayer games fun.

Edit: Also why does CoD Elite say that there's no multiplayer data for both MW3 and Black Ops!?

Have any other PS3 players been having trouble making parties/getting a lot of "Disconnected from host" errors in certain game modes? 9 times out of 10, I get kicked out of Headquarters or anything that isn't FFA.

Oh yeah I should probably say mine.

PSN.

And yeah I've been having the same issue Zook. FFA is ezpz, but entering just about any other game mode is hell. I'm usually kicked a good 4 or 5 times before I finally get into one.

Once I'm in though it's good. I don't think I've gotten kicked at all mid-game (yet), which is an issue I had in MW2 and Blops. I applaud them for that at the very least.

No the Support class.

Slap on Hardline Pro and spam tac grenades and watch as your pointstreak flies up. Heck add on Recon Pro and mark everyone on the map with tacs and bullets so your team has even more chance of giving you assists.

The EMP's just come rolling in.

Support package is meh.If it was just things like UAV/CUAV/Etc I'd probably be ok with it regardless of how annoying the uav spam is.
Having stuff like the jug and escort airdrop is really really ******** imo

Added your PSN to the OP, thanks!

And I loved the 'Turbulence' mission in the single player.

mfw I got to the end and
Makarov shoots you. (Who tipped him off to your location?)
