    I have to say - I'm loving MW3.

  • captain_Carl #2 4 months ago

    Yep, looks like CoD

  • Bradach #3 4 months ago

    anyone else think the best multiplayer map designers from IW went to respawn?

  • CaptainQuint #4 4 months ago

    Oh goody!

  • rashes #5 4 months ago

    These maps look like improvements on what's there now.
    @ Bradach
    The best CoD map designers are working with Treyarch :-)

    For Elite subscribers or as I like to call them, plonkers.

  • TazerFan #7 4 months ago

    Bring them on! I have to say the maps really grew on me after I had my initial doubts like most.

    And I'll save the usual negative nellies the trouble:

    COD is shit. You're shit for liking this shit game. Looks a bit shit. These maps look a bit shit, just like COD. Shit is what this game appears to be. Most people think shit is bad, so I am going to use shit to describe Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 in this innocuous article with pictures of the game.

    That about cover it?

  • Gorith #8 4 months ago

    Yay i cant wait to play these new maps.....oh wait i wont be able to because i play on pc where i have to aim and shoot to kill not just have auto aim do the work for me, elite isnt on pc either as it would of made it possible to track and ban the hackers, but you wouldn't want to stop those bad people doing that would you Infinty Ward cleaning department. :(

    @spacedelete - Ahhh... so true. I don't do FIFA or PES though. :)

    If these pictures are supposed to be representative of what happens in MW3 then they are playing a different game to the one I've been playing. For a start, there are too many people out in the open. They should show snipers hiding in bushes, twats with Strikers waiting in dark corners, or someone firing a Stinger from the other side of the map for the whole game. The only people who run around are the Akimbo crew. This game is broken. The network code is fucked, the lag compensation is obvious and annoying. Hit detection is a joke. Shoot someone in the knee and get a head shot? Not a problem. This game rewards campers, drop shotters, sprayers, and worst of all people with shitty connections.(I realise not everyone can afford to have 30/50 meg or whatever, but does that mean you should immediately beat me to the punch?)You can actually feel the lag compensation kick in! Black ops pissed all over this excuse for a game. Map design is dire. It has just turned into a lottery, no skill required. I have Battlefield, which I do enjoy, but I've always played COD from 2 up to this latest installment, I like the immediacy, but this game is pure frustration.

    @spacedelete For a person that has Dave in their name? My name's Matthew, would you say I have Matthew in my name as well?

  • TazerFan #12 4 months ago

    @roundhed

    Hasn't been my experience (working on 5th Prestige) but I can see how that would ruin your experience.

    In your opinion, though, how exactly are snipers supposed to behave?

  • Street89 #13 4 months ago

    @roundhed Sounds like you're playing a different game to me as well.

  • vmanb #14 4 months ago

    Roundhed is pretty much spot on with is views on MW3 at the moment and as this game stands its almost unplayable most of the time with these problems. I've got 100mb down 10mb upload speed all ports forwarded found best DNS setting for my area tested ping which is always below 10 with a jitter of 1 and when i become host i'm about a full second behind everyone. There a update coming on the 27th and if that doesn't solve these game breaking problems then im done with it

  • SHEEPISH47 #15 4 months ago

    Erm excuse me, why weren't these two in the game originally?

  • EvilDavid #16 4 months ago

    Get the fucking clan-leveling working infinity ward....

  • higganos #17 4 months ago

    @Tazerfan & Street89

    You're obviously playing a different game from ME.

    I have 30meg bband and the game is unplayable for the exact same reasons Roundhed outlined. 5 of my mates have the same shitty experience, whilst 3 others get to run riot. Totally bizarre as the latter 3 were weak as fuck on MW2 and Blops.

    The game is rendered pointless imo. I can watch an enemy on an advanced UAV...almost come into my sight....pull the trigg....oh I'm dead. Killcam? Me standing there doing fuck all. The lag for some players is indescribable.

    I used to love CoD, but with whats going on I'm done with it. Utter UTTER pish btw. So fuckin disappointed its untrue. Ugh.

    Mmmmmmmmm, piazza

  • Raiten #19 4 months ago

    And that is why dedicated servers will allways be far superior to these p2p systems.
    Not only is dedicated server structure better for getting rid of cheaters, it also guarantees everyone stable experience when playing the game, which is the most important factor for any online game.
    While we may have two guys who've mostly good matches with good performance, the next 2 guys would have it the opposite, that's just the reality of this archaic p2p/matchmaking system.

    It'll never work the way it should untill everyone everywhere across the globe can have pings closer to 10 no matter where they play, but even then the problem associated with cheating will not disapear, system wide bannings/account bannings take far longer and have never prevented cheating and will never stop it.

    If you realy wanted a proper online shooty experience, you'd pick a game with dedicated servers for online gaming.

    @higganos

    Sorry to hear that mate, the game works for me and it's a blast.

  • roundhed #22 4 months ago

    @TazerFan Yeah, point taken about the snipers, obviously they aren't going to run around in the open. But what with the campers, the lag, the terrible spawns etc the game has just become a joke and frustrates beyond belief. I do have a problem with campers. I mean if everyone just sat waiting in a bush or a dark corner nothing would ever happen. To run and gun is a test of skill, reactions, adaptability etc. Or it was until this game decided IT would make up it's own rules. Sitting behind a box waiting for someone to run past is piss easy. Kill Confirmed seemed to be a great idea at first, people wouldn't/couldn't camp, but now they just use it to rank up their guns, or use tactical insertions and grab 250 points spawning on their own tags. So a guy will die 20 or 30 times and get the highest score in the lobby. I don't blame people for using exploits, but it just goes back to my point this game is broken. Did I mention I hate fucking campers? lmao

  • higganos #23 4 months ago

    @Tazerfan

    Well it will be if you are allowed to play it properly. The game seems to shaft half the players in the lobby ALL OF THE TIME. Woe betide if you're in a party too, the game goes into super-shaft-wank mode.

    Spawn me right in front of the same enemy 4 times in a row? Check. Super-unkillable-host-boy-who-just-sits-in-the-middle-of-the-map-soaking-up-bullets-and-getting-36-3? Check. Overpowered killstreaks that are just getting ridiculous now? Check. Me now playin BF3 for over 125 hours now? Check.

    I haven't had ONE single decent match on MW3 since it came out, I actually cannot fucking believe what a mess they've made of it for a large portion of their fanbase.

    I fully expect the series to go downhill in terms of sales now coz this lag compensation bollocks they've implemented has-FOR A FACT-alienated a significant percentage of players. Twats.
