I don't understand this. How hard is it for them to get someone to post a list of the changes? It would take someone hardly any time at all.

Just seems like we got spoiled with BLOPS with good communication, I guess it's back to crappy support.

Yeah, I don't get it either. This is really basic stuff.

It's getting pretty annoying that they keep tweaking weapons. Get used to something and they change it. Get used to something else and they change that. Such a lack of consistency in weapons feel from release day to now already.

I get some stuff. Type 95 was crazy powerful and dropped someone with one burst. Which is why I loved it but that is one I get them tweaking.

But non-full autos should be more powerful and full auto AR's that's their trade off and what keeps everyone from using them.

They've felt exactly the same to me from day one.

Guess it just depends on what you were using.

I got into the Type 95 early on after the initial release and got my golden camo quickly then a patch game out and it never dropped people the same. Was still pretty powerful but without it being able to drop people like it did before that patch it was just like any other AR that wasn't full auto. Burst and not drop so have to hit with a second burst and that led to more deaths for me.

So I switched to the MK14 after that. Got pretty good with it, it was able to drop better than the patched Type 95 for me and my game play style so I stuck with it until the next update. Same crap after that pretty much that happened with the Type 95 though granted the MK14 never dropped people like the pre-patched Type 95 but it was still off and not dropping people like before. Keep in mind this was pretty much only in FFA play and play style of course varies between people.

Since this I've just been moving around and got stuck on the PP90M1 with rapid fire enough to get the golden camo pretty quickly with that.

I used that through until I did my 1st prestige on Monday of this week and have just been using guns as they unlock at this point since I'm just at level 19 and didn't want to use my prestige token just to carry through a weapon of my choice.

You mean Golden Camo (not ammo) right?

And Gold Camo is pretty easy to achieve for any gun, it only requires weapon level 30. The Autumn camo is the one that is hard to get b/c going from 30->31 requires some high weapon xp to achieve.

Edit: Or do I have the gold/autumn mixed up? I think I have it mixed up, but I could have sworn the Autumn camo was below Gold on the selection list indicating it came after gold.

Oh? Are those the secondary that everyone uses that sort of fold up? I'd check but all of the gaming sites are blocked at work...

Yea they're like walking around with a chain saw used to cut down California redwoods.

Steady aim makes them better.

Yeah, meant Camo.

Gold is the highest Camo level with Elite/Founder "winter" being the only maybe exception. But that's always available if you have it, regardless of level.

Typed that all out on my iPhone while getting a root canal done, no joke

Was there for nearly 4 hours and the Dr. would take a break every hour or so for about 10 or 15 mins to let me jaw rest and tend to other people there.

Ok, just played a game and don't know what this is called.

I would shoot at someone, and the cross hairs turn to an X as usual, but underneath the X was some symbol that I haven't seen before.

It wasn't the blastshield symbol, but something else. Is there something for when someone is wearing a ballistics vest?

Yes, there is one for the vest. Another for the jugg too.

Well, after playing for a week or so I love this game. It's not perfect by any means but I'm very happy with it. My main gripe is the level design, I just don't get it. It has taken me a lot longer to get them down like I did in MW2.(I skipped black ops).

By far and away my favorite feature is the support streaks. I'm not a top notch player by any means, around 1:1 K/D over a match is about normal for me, above that is unusual but I usually don't go to far below. I just don't go on 10 kill runs. With the implementation of support streaks I feel that I make a lot more of a contribution to the team.

For whatever reason campers(I'd like to ban those fuckers) don't seem to be as much as an issue and snipers are much rarer. Whether the latter is due to guns being nerfed or level design I don't have a clue.


One thing I wish I had paid more attention to is the bonus points. If I had been taking advantage of them with every new primary gun I would probably be 10-15 levels higher by now(currently 42).

I have found that I am doing better with sub machine guns on most levels than with assault rifles for whatever reason.

One question, I have read briefly where you can unlock guns using prestige points. I looked around in the locker or whatever it's called and didn't see it.

Ok, second question. What's the consensus on best machine gun and sub machine gun that are full auto? I tried the three shot guy that a lot rave about but I need full auto. I just unlocked the G36(I think that's it) and like pretty well. Finished working through most of the P90 but the recoil rise on that thing is nasty.

Oh, and confirmed kills rocks!

Really? Level design in this game is horrible IMO. Every map feels like a small circle.

Honestly, there's no consensus on which guns are best. The balance is excellent, I could make a good case for any of them in any class.

I really like the scar - high fire rate, accurate, great irons.

Barracks -> Prestige Shop

Each time you prestige in the game, you receive 1 prestige token which u can use to purchase bonus stuff under the prestige shop.

The option to unlock a weapon or any "create a class" item early is only available after your first prestige.

Also to note, if you played the other COD games (starting with COD4 MW1), you get 1 token per game that you prestiged in.

Got MW3....fun but I miss BLOPS COD points. At least akimbos are way more fun now !

This.

Someone earlier said about that one mini being powerful so I unlocked akimbo right away after I did my prestige and it's a great backup when my primary runs out of ammo.

Its sloppy but does drop people.

Feeling back to normal after the prestige last week. Back up to level 48 and have everything unlocked and how I like it and kicking ass again.

Having played the game for close to a month now, I'm really starting to miss alot of things that Treyarch did with Blops. Mainly the stats and theatre mode. Why can't they bring in someone from Treyarch, and fix this? No cat. for the amount of caps in domination, I can't find anywhere a place where I can find how many times I've used a certain streak. In Theatre mode, you can't hit select to see your stats, can't invite friends into a theatre session... c'mon... these are minor things, get it right.

Example, I was in a match where I got like 3 or 4 caps on my own and a bunch of defends. I went 13-6 or so, and was 5th on my team cuz the other guys went for kills.. while I was capping and defending. At the end of the game, I looked like the guy doing no work while infact I was the guy that won us the match.

Because Treyarch is the A team now for CoD.

There, I said it.
