^^you can buy the MP Map Packs separately, but if it's like MW2 they'll be $14.99 a piece. So some people are just ponying up the full $50-$60 for Elite and getting everything.

"I'm the same way, and now that they've implemented prestige tokens and "unlock gear," I'm going to continue to prestige. I have pretty much unlocked all the weapons and perks that are part of my "go to" classes, so I don't get annoyed for ~30 lvls anymore after I prestige. They also made the pro variants of most of the perks pretty easy to achieve, so I figure why the hell not, prestiging will keep me engaged."

the hardest thing for me to get used to is when I prestige and have to go back to standard sized magazines. I run extended mags on almost all of my AR classes. I only realized lately how much of a benefit Scavenger is early on and will be using that on my next prestige.

Right now i've used Unlock Gear on the ACR and Assassin Pro. Thinking about using it on the next one for one more thing. It's either going to be Scavenger, Portable Radar, or C4. Thoughts?

also, watch that. it's worth it for #3 and #2. I hope none of you people are like this.

1/23/2012 1:18:50 PM

^^I unlocked a stinger b/c taking down air support is an easy way to rack up XP and also to get killstreaks faster.

1/23/2012 1:27:53 PM

^same, i've got the ACR and stinger as my unlocks so far. not sure what i'll get on my next one.

1/23/2012 1:36:01 PM

C4. learn it, love it, live it.

1/23/2012 1:38:44 PM

I thought about the stinger, but one of the guys i play with all the time carries a Stinger in almost each one of his loadouts. That and I swear it makes you move slower, even when it's on your back. oh and i'm a sucker for last second sidearm kills, even though they don't happen as often with extended mags or scavenger. hmmm.

1/23/2012 1:54:38 PM

I used my two unlocks on Dead Silence and the MP7. I love that gun. I should be mounting tonight, without a mic and with a noob roommate. Any bad games I have will be blamed on him.

1/23/2012 2:57:05 PM

if you play split screen does the second player (1) K-D ratio affect your own?

1/23/2012 2:59:55 PM

idk, we won't be split screening though. just alternating games.

1/23/2012 4:43:08 PM

Unlocked:
ACR
MK
C4
Scavenger
RPG

I don't need the extra classes in this game, so way better to just unlock high level stuff.

1/23/2012 7:11:47 PM

I hate Resistence. Only level I consider leaving the lobby for.

1/23/2012 7:23:41 PM

I love Resistance. Used to hate downturn the most but I like it right now. I think I'm hating Village these days

1/23/2012 7:52:31 PM

my game froze, so I'm done for the night

1/23/2012 9:43:02 PM

http://www.youtube.com/user/Matroix?feature=g-all-u#g/u

2 recent uploads of the new maps. look pretty good, still spawn issues everywhere though

1/24/2012 9:43:40 AM

downturn is definitely my least favorite. I'm not a huge fan of Carbon either

1/24/2012 10:04:29 AM

Carbon you just have to stay out of the middle. I play the edges of most of the maps regardless, but especially on Carbon. it's also such a great map to lay down an IMS in some heavy traffic spots and rack up a few easy kills.

played awful last night for the hour or so i played. just could not get up over 1:1 K-D, so tonight i'll need redemption.

i think a lot of it was that i was trying too hard to play with C4 and set up getting kills with that instead of paying attention to my surroundings

1/24/2012 10:28:14 AM

What do you fools do on Hardhat? I try to stay out of that middle room, it seems most people just go in there the whole time and you can pick them off when they are running around the outside trying to get back in.

i too had this problem last night.

1/24/2012 11:06:56 AM

Piazza looks miserable. Liberation looks pretty cool.

1/24/2012 11:19:54 AM

I will procure this game next week.

Too many cheaters playing in world at war. I sat there and emptied a machine gun clip into a guy's face and he stabbed me. then i noticed the final score of the match for him 30kills 0 deaths.


I hover in my kill death ratio as i try to split time equally between different guns but some just suit my game play better than others.

1/24/2012 11:44:14 AM

^^I feel the opposite, Liberation looks like a snipers dream. Piazza looks like it could be fun

1/24/2012 11:50:02 AM

I run a 30 Mbps connection. I just have nightmares about people turning corners and firing on me before the game even shows me that they're there.

Liberation looks like another Village. What's not to like?!

1/24/2012 1:17:03 PM

Village was fucking awesome

1/24/2012 1:25:04 PM

^was that called Village, or Jungle?

and was there literally zero sway and recoil on the guns in Black Ops?

1/24/2012 1:56:47 PM

oh yeah thats Jungle

i think i had a AK74u with grip in all those videos, so not much sway with that weapon setup

1/24/2012 2:18:09 PM

New maps:

Piazza is fucking nonstop run & gun.

Liberation is a camp fest. Spawns are terrible. You get lined up in front of snipers constantly.

1/24/2012 3:00:16 PM

fourzerotwo: Updated #MW3 today; you'll notice improved lag comp, theater fixes, nerf to Striker, buff to all other shotguns, upload to YouTube faster.

Why Dead Silence? I haven't really seen much use for that perk, am I missing something?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Why Dead Silence?"

hard to hear other people running on the headset if you don't use it. plus other people with headsets will hear you.

1/24/2012 3:33:24 PM

i wish you could bring one perk from a previous COD game into a new one

1/24/2012 3:47:05 PM

i usually run dead silence on my SMG classes where the gun's range doesn't necessitate marksmen.

1/24/2012 3:48:23 PM

from the horses mouth.

akimbos nerfed across the board. decreasing range, rate, and power.

bump to all shotguns less striker. each shell has 9 pellets.

striker nerfed to 6 pellets per shell.

watching live gameplay for a few minutes and you can really tell a difference on the striker.

1/24/2012 3:53:21 PM

fuck, I've recently switched my run and gun class to be the Striker with Extreme Conditioning

1/24/2012 3:57:04 PM

NM, the patch to weapons is only on XBOX. PS3 has been delayed. jesus

Ahhh, I don't use a headset to that would make sense. I have gotten to like Stalker Pro, being able to aim faster while moving is nice for my style of play and I love not having to worry about claymores.

1/24/2012 5:08:56 PM

meh, i caved and bought elite. lets see how these new maps are.

1/25/2012 7:56:57 AM

so what's the verdict on the two new maps, i haven't sprung for them yet

am i missing anything?

1/25/2012 8:51:02 AM

Getting shot in the back by snipers on Liberation.

1/25/2012 9:20:42 AM

i only played a couple of rounds last night and was only able to play liberation.

those trenches are a murder zone.

1/25/2012 9:26:10 AM

the spawns on liberation blow, piazza is fun.

1/25/2012 9:36:34 AM
