Complaining about MW3

A lot of people i'm around always complain about MW3 and they never have much positive to say about it. I feel that MW3 is being done an injustice because I truly feel that they did a great job at leveling out the playing field making it possible for anybody to hop on the game and get a kill or two. When people start going off about things like the MP7 or the EMP I can't help but feel like people go bipolar about the game depending on how they're doing. I think for every bad remark towards the game there is a good one.

People are always camping - Recon puts enemies on the radar without you having to actually know where they are

Stackable killstreaks are too easy to get - Stinger shoots down almost every airborne killstreak in 2 or less shots excluding the AC130 and the recon drone!

Recon Drone is overpowered - If you shoot at it without Blind Eye Pro it still goes down really fast

Specialist Killstreaks give unfair advantages - They don't have the ability to use any killstreaks that help out anyone but the player

Trophy System in general! - People who have problems with this obviously have never even used it!

Lag - It's not like they're trying to make you lag, there is lag compensation and usually it's your fault if you're lagging bad enough to get upset about it!


As far as guns and gun balancing it's not like they purposely made the mp7 a monster or the FMG9 Akimbos crazy good, and every time they try to fix them someone feels that there is some kind of problem with them still because since there was a problem before they feel that the required re-balancing has not yet been met.[/COLOR]

You want to know a statistic that I pulled out of my ass? More than 78.5% of people on MW3 unlock akimbo on the FMG9's every prestige whether it is unavoidable like when playing infected or intentional to dominate the close quarters!

And yet the people who complain still play the game :dumb:

That was random af -__-

Yeah I agree with your statistic that you pulled out of your ass, because I do it all the time.

This is a stupid post for many reasons.

1) Most people who complain of lag do so legitimately. Compared to MW2,, the amount of games I get put in with foreigners on Black Ops and MW3 is ridiculous. Apart from not wanting to play with people who don't speak my language, it always generally picks either a really poor game host in general i.e. mass lag and eventual picking of new host or the host is half way across the world and as such I am naturally going to lag. These issues were not present on MW2 and were not present on Black Ops either when selecting the Local connection preferences. The fact that you don't have a choice on MW3 is what is annoying.

I work for my ISP and can tell you with 100% confidence that there is nothing wrong with my line and I get the maximum possible speed out of it. MW2 always picked me as the host, whereas MW3 never does so and Black Ops very rarely did so. Therefore, this suggests the logic of picking host has become somewhat flawed.

2) A Stealth Bomber should not be on a Support Killstreak, period. This is because it really pisses me off when i'm on a legitimate killstreak of 9+, close to AC-130, only for a Stealth Bomber to wipe me out despite the person getting it having an awful KDR and having been smashing them all game, but I could not stop them getting that killstreak. So, that is profoundly unfair that they can stop me getting my hard earned killstreaks by being too crap at the game to use an assault package.

3) EMPs are legitimate complained about because A) They last far too long and B) They are on a Support Package. This isn't balanced because when playing a lengthy game such as HQ or Sabotage, if everyone on a team uses Support Package with EMP (btw I have seen this done), after the first person gets an 18 'streak' you are EMP'd for the rest of the game because as soon as the first EMP is gone, another calls his in and this repeats itself for 12 minutes until the first person has again received his EMP, thus making every assault killstreak I acquire completely useless despite again, smashing them for most of the game.

4) Trophy system has it's flaws, although I just simply choose not to use this - I don't complain about this because I have a choice not to use it. I have no choice about 1-3

5) Weapons are extremely unbalanced. Throwing Knife is effectively more powerful than an RPG. Thing about it logically for a second, imagine saying to our troops in Afghanistan 'tanks... guns... RPGs?.... what the fu$k do you need these for? Here is your all powerful throwing knife... oh, and don't worry about enemy IEDs boys, they'll only get a hitmarker '... NO, that would be bullshit just as it is in the game. YES, the noobtube situation on MW2 needed addressing, but they have gone one extreme to the other. It should take 1 RPG to kill them if it's within a reasonable distance, rather than 15 miles away like on MW2 or having to be pretty much direct hit on MW3. You know something is wrong when you've had hitmarkers with an RPG on Hardcore TDM!

I do complain about this because it's absolutely ludicrous and I have no choice about it.

The Akimbo situation is pretty much as you said, but again, I have a choice about this so am not really too bothered. If I get sick of people using FMGs then I just get mine out and play them at their own game.

6) Quickdraw with a sniper should be banned or made to take up 2 perk slots like certain things did on previous COD titles. I see no logical reason why Danger Close cannot be re-introduced using the same logic of that it is not combined with Sleight Of Hand or is at the expense of another perk and uses 2 slots.

7) The high sensitivity with Aim Assist situation needs addressing as it would put an end to all this 'quickscope' nonsense once and for all because most people cannot actually quickscope, they merely drag scope with their sensitivity on 9000 and let the Aim Assist do the rest.

Why are Shotguns primary weapons? This is stupid. What made MW2 so great was that you could have a decent distance combat weapon as primary and a decent close quarters weapon as secondary. Some Shotguns were overpowered, but this could have been addressed whilst still leaving them as secondary and in fact, the shotgun situation is in fact worse now with a Model 1887 with a Range attachment becoming almost unbeatable when paired with Quickdraw and Extreme Conditioning because they have the speed, aim and range advantage against everything other than an Assault Rifle and Sniper Rifle. Every close-medium distance range weapon is useless and Assault Rifles and Snipers also become even more useless against a Shotgun in close combat.

9) Campers are annoying, but this is part of the game and the campers could equally say run-and-gun tactics are equally annoying. Therefore, no complaints about this.

10) The spawn system is almost as bad as Black Ops during Nuketown 24/7. The amount of times where you spawn and die within 3-5 seconds is stupid.

11) Finally, I complain massively about this game but has nothing to do with how i'm doing because it's proven just how unbalanced it is when I have a 2.4KDR (maintained right through to 11th Prestige Lvl 77 and still slowly increasing) and that's with all the lagging and other issues! If there was no lag, my KDR would probably be more like 3.4!!!

I complain because having been such a keen gamer all my life, I had huge hopes for this game only to be hugely disappointed. The game appears to have been made for the simple reason of selling it to those who can't really play the game and just generally suck at FPS games and are better suited to Mario Kart.

Couldn't have put it better myself. Anybody who has ever studied/looked at MW2 in depth can tell that 90% of what existed in MW2 is included in MW3...except the bloody best bits!

And why is that? Have you ever tried quickscoping? It is way easier to point and spray an ACR or MP7 and absolutely annihilate a quickscoper.



I only half agree with this one, since aim assist is just stupid in nature. Not everyone has high sensitivity. I run around with an MSR on 2. That's right, 2. It's possible. Aim assist screws me over more than it helps.



Striker/Damage with Steady Aim Pro outclasses Models so hard, it's not even funny. I've never had any issues with Models with any gun. SMGs also destroy shotguns. I only lose to idiots running around with PP90s when I use a Striker.

Those 3 are the only ones that don't make sense to me. All others either make sense, or I don't think it matters enough to comment about (EMP). Specialist outclasses Assault by a huge margin to me, anyways.

EMP and Stealth Bomber do matter because it's illogical and stupid.

Strikers never really get anywhere against me, but maybe that's just my style of play.

In my experience SMGs never destroy shotguns unless you use rapid fire.

I also play with my sensitivity on 2 and aim assist screws me over too. But you miss my point, try putting your sensitivity on 10 and then see how exaggerated it becomes and it's almost like Aimbot than Aim assist.

I used to use specialist all the time, but it's old and boring now and I prefer going for something because once you get your specialist bonus it's like so what now...?

Assassin Pro counters EMP, so for me at least, EMPs are harmless, except for the part where my team usually runs around like headless chickens. Stealth bombers are annoying, but I just look up and see where it's coming from, then run away. I haven't died to a stealth bomber for a while.

I have quite a few kills with the Striker (1k headshots done ages ago, probably... 15-20k kills total? Can't remember) and there is nothing that outclasses a Striker in close range except the PP90 and sometimes MP7. Rapid Fire just increases the chance of killing. PP90 fires too fast at close range for any shotgun to compete.

I see people running around with 10 sensitivity trying to quickscope, and my MK14 always gets them first. Personally I don't think it's that big of a deal, but to each his own.

Once you get specialist bonus, go for the MOBA haha. Off topic, but support killstreaks and deathstreaks need to be removed. That's all. If someone's doing badly, just give them extra experience for the next kill or something.
