No, I meant, what DATE did you enter your elite premium code?

If you had entered your elite premium membership code BEFORE 11/30, you AUTOMATICALLY have founders status and thus do not need to use the Founders code on the separate black card.

Code was entered on launch, 11/8. I see where you're going with this, but their support team is having me continue even though I've already received the auto-assigned Founder status & perks. I dunno, maybe they're debugging some issues with that site. The Elite site still craps out from time to time; I can only imagine they're running into a whole new flood of bugs with the Founder's site.

When you log into Elite, do you have a green skull next to your name? If so, you have founder status. I also bought the hardened copy and entered it all on launch day. I never used my founder card since you dont need too. If you follow Elite Call of Duty on either Facebook or Twitter they are always giving update information.

If you already had founders status, why did you even bother trying to input that code?

So since I already have founders status and I have a card from my hardened edition is it possible to give/sell the card to someone else to use?

How did you do that?????

The Hardened edition came with 2 codes. One for the elite yearly premium membership, and the other for founders status.

However, if you inputted the elite yearly prem memb code by 11/30, you automatically received founder status and did not need to use the other separate code.

The separate founders code was designed for those who received the hardened edition after 11/30 (say as an xmas gift) so that they could still get founders status.

Same deal here. Just registered elite code from hardened edition and activated my founders status. Never activated my founders card code.

Has anyone tried patch 1.07 yet? Supposed to really fix "lag compensation". I'm still at work and can't try it out till later.

Also, they introduced HC richochet now. Not sure if I prefer that or the system in place now.

its interesting to see the differences in the pc and console forums about MW3. People in the pc forums just bash the game non-stop, even for threads that have nothing to do with how the game is. any mention of it receives immediate bashing.

Here in console forums it doesn't seem like that happens as much.

Tried it for a bit earlier, lag felt basically the same. Still had wtf moments pretty regularly.

I don't worry about too many specifics in the game. I personally wish they would just leave the game as is when they release it

Probably cuz many people on the PC side have fond memories of COD 1 and allied assault and even MW1 was pretty big on PC as well if I remember correct. Then activision turns MW2 into a console port on the PC side, eliminates dedicated servers for them and such. So, I can see where all that hate stems from.

I personally didn't get into COD till I started playing on Xbox with some friends. I may have felt the same way if I was involved in that whole pc community at the time.

Hmm...I don't see Hardcore Ricochet HQ anywhere in the playlists except under HC Ricochet: Team Tac, but that's only 6-8 players.

Is there an option to only play HCR:HQ?

Gotta complain about the lag again lol.

This weekend was crap. I felt like I was constantly 1-2 seconds behind what I was seeing on screen. I would get the jump on people shoot 4-5 bullets but of course none of them hit since I was lagging.

1.07 and the hotfix seemed to have made things worse for me. I feel like my game/skill has gotten worse since that patch/hotfix.

That's because it's not very good on PC. It's great on Xbox considering the options, and that's where I tell people who want to play it to give it a shot at. Similarly, playing BF3 on Xbox is asinine.

What's so bad about it on PC? I get the impression its basically the same as the console version...the main issue being that it's essentially the same as the console version. It might not be pushing limits like BF3 does on PC, but it's pretty much the same game isn't it?

More or less, but the real problem is that hardly any serious PC FPS gamer wants to play CoD, the whole scene was abandoned after the MW2 debacle.

With Xbox, you've got basically the entire community of millions upon millions of total players, and a massive competitive and social base. If I were so inclined, I could load up MW3 on my Xbox right now and probably at least 20 people I have on my friends list would be in there.

With PC, it's pretty slim indeed. It's akin to two old men playing bridge in the stands at the superbowl while the real game happens on the field below. Probably 50x more players on Xbox if not more, and a good number of the PC players probably only mess around with it for a little while after completing the SP campaign and moving on to something better on the platform.

Makes sense. I personally abandoned the series on PC with cod4 once I saw how perfect the console version was running at 60FPS. Pretty much abandoned PC gaming in general since then.

I still remember being part of the elitist PC gaming crowd that looked down on all console gaming. I get the impression that even if they hadn't screwed MW2 up, the series would still be suffering on PC if only because it's the flagship console game nowadays.

The problem I have with the Modern Warfare series is their laziness and how they basically gave us PC gamers the finger.

I enjoy playing my Xbox 360 but FPS games are one genre that I just can never enjoy on a console. I'm sure a lot of the gamers out there that are big Modern Warfare fans have probably never played FPS games on a PC and only really "know" the controller, but I could be wrong.
