Lag Comp (Xbox & PS3) - TDM has some settings that replicate to an extent MW2 lag comp settings. More to be done here. Moving to all playlists soon. Probably sometime next week barring any issues. PC is still being worked on as well but is a different code path.
Matchmaking (Xbox) - Domination has a new matchmaking schema. It no longer uses Hilbert regions but rather country code based on your IP. Improvements to that coming in upcoming patch. But if you have been matchmaking a lot with people from other countries please try this out and see if it is better.
Spawning (All) - Faceoff maps have had more spawn points added and a slight tweak to the logic. Should reduce the amount of spawn trapping. But the maps are small so spawning will always feel dangerous. Part of the fun of the mode. A full re-write on spawn logic is in the works but will be some time before it is ready.
DLC - Terminal is out for everyone on Xbox. I'll be able to announce the date for Ps3 and PC sometime soon pending PR approval. Probably next week or so. Yes Terminal will be free for everyone just as it is on Xbox.
PS3 DLC Issues - Some of the issues with PS3 DLC have been resolved. There are still isolated cases of people losing their Elite Subscription (me included) and also of some DLC content that seems to be either unplayable or un-downloadable. We are still working with Sony on those issues. Hit up You must login or register to view this content. for possible solutions for DLC issues.
Weapon Balance - We have started our pass on weapons here at the studio and are testing out some changes. We are just hitting ARs and SMGs at first. Our current philosophy on this right now is not to nerf but rather to buff those weapons that are under-performing. Not sure yet on the eta of when these changes will go live.
Playlist Updates - I don't have any info yet on Playlist updates just yet. Hoping to get to that soon.
Anyway that's all I have for you guys right now. Feedback as always is very welcome. I know I have been AFT a lot lately and I apologize, but my work has gotten in the way of being able to respond as much as I would like. Have a great day!

They are doing a balance pass, looking at all the weapons and just starting with the ARs and SMGs. They probably won't buff the ACR, MP7, etc, just some ones that aren't as good such as the PM9 or M16.

In Flames Much?
I knew they would fix the face off maps. Also goes to show the main issue with the spawns.......in this game.
Map design and spawn locations which is what i said it was
Who else spotted that have a cookie your a good player
Matchmaking being changed shows you that whatever method IW was using you to pair clients together was not working right.
Lag comp i wonder what changed between games..
Weapon balance ideas
M16 should have no idle at all. This makes it a long range weapon. Close range it poor but that where the type 95 does better.
CM901 needs looking at , reduce it idle stat wise it poor should have little to no idle bit more than the M16
In SMGs MP5 need looking at so does PM9.
MP5 should have it recoil reduced
UMP should have a range increase
UMP and MP5 balance each other out range wise i believe
PM9 give it the best hipfire in the game moving and standing still.
LMGs not sure what to do........
Shotguns need a pellet boost/ damage and spread decrease

In order to balance the game you need to compare SMGs to SMGs and to ARs
This happens with all weapon classes you get a balanced game each weapon does something no other weapon does.

So damn true. The lag is just as bad as black ops, maybe even worse. If you have a 3 bar in MW3 and you're going against the host, he has a 2 second advantage over you. In fast paced games like CoD, milliseconds decide gun battles.
