(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I personally dont think that much of these? Everybodies always raving about getting a MOAB or how many MOAB's have you had? I bought the game when it came out and im 12th Prestige and I can onestly say ive had 1 MOAB, I play to a KDR of 1.96 so an average player.

I understand it requires some skill to get one but to me all the hype about them makes them overated? just my opinion

I am 4th prestige and I got the game the day it came out, though I don't play much. I have 1 MOAB and it's from like infection, the way I rush prevents me from getting a MOAB no matter how good I do in a game.

Swap the MW2 Nuke with the MW3 MOAB :y:

In MW2, the nuke ended the game and the 25 killstreak was easy to get because you could use Harriers > AC130 > Tactical Nuke. This was annoying because people could tube their way to 7 kills and it was pretty much game over.

Now in MW3, not matter what anybody says, and 24 gun streak is pretty difficult. Since it doesn't end the game, it doesn't seem as rewarding.

Basicly what I'm getting at is the MOAB should go to MW2 and not end the game because a 25 streak is easy to get with OMA DG Tubes, and the Nuke should come to MW3 because a 24 gunstreak is difficult by an stretch and players should get the full reward.

With that being said, this is never going to happen :carling:

It's just as easy to get a good w/l. If you always play with a decent party, it's virtually impossible to lose. My w/l is only 1.1 since I mostly play solo and I rage quit a lot, but my streak is 73 (was 80 but the stat loss error ruined it). In the three days it took to get that streak I played only with parties, and I never had to time out to save my streak.

There's really no way to measure skill based purely on stats. I have friends on my list with 1.9 k/d ratios and 1.5 w/l ratios who could destroy almost any 3+ k/d 4+ w/l in both 1v1s and teams. (They mess around in pubs alot)

Back on topic, MOABs don't mean much either. I have a friend with a 2.8 k/d and no MOABs, whereas I had 10 with a 1.9 (now at 11 with a 2.1). He goes purely for kills regardless of the gamemode, while I go for both kills and objective, and he doesn't have a MOAB yet.

Cake is a lie
I never really see people discussing MOABs though. This seems like fabricated hype.

I mean people boosted for Nukes and it ended the game and was a more common occurrence so I could see how it could be overrated. But a MOAB is more difficult to achieve and actually does less AND it occurs less so what exactly makes it overrated or even underrated. It just is what it is.

Accuracy is the word. You can know if someone is good or bad looking at his/her accuracy. Not only the global accuracy. Each weapon accuracy and how many kills with each weapon too.

This is my point of view, of course. =)

I don't play with good players though. I play with friends who couldn't give a crap if they went positive or negative.

Creep-creep!!
MOABs would be overrated if everyone would get them in games, but to be honest i still haven't been MOABed even though i play solo most of the time

People who rushed all the way has some sort of meaning I guess, even though it mostly has to do with luck but then again luck is a big part in everyone's game, people who camp the whole way or start camping after they realize they are on a streak are just ..
Infected moabs don't mean much as well.

All in all, stats are meaningless in this game, w/l and k/d is easily affected by playing in parties, the guns you use, how hard you camp, or how often you dashboard/sign off PSN. Personally, I play solo most of the time and avg a 3+ kd rushing using only specialist, but getting good w/l is just ridiculous, I don't sign off PSN at all so my games aren't erased if I lose or do bad, domination solo is just silly when most of the games you join are in progress with air support up or the other team has a party going, -1 loss every time, rarely do I ever join a lobby waiting for the game to start when playing domination. Kill confirmed/TDM is the easiest to win playing solo, I can win 3/4 of the time, but that's if I stay in the same lobby, joining games in progress is just so annoying, not to mention playing with some of the randoms out there, some of the games I get MOABs in end up in a loss, I've even lost a TDM game once 6300-7500 going 46-2 on specialist with a MOAB =_=, how are some people out there prestiged and going 2-21.
