Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Maybe for Christmas I'll get a headset that will work with the PS3, although I should try my usb ones anyways to see if it works..

I'm liking Piazza a lot more because of the pace of the map, it's quite quick. Liberation is so slow when it comes to TDM or KC because many people are snipers and sit back.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

32-8 on Piazza. CHYEAH!!!! :banger

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Nice game Tyr!!!

I love this emblem, what do you guys use?
Of course I change mine all the time, but this is the most common one for me.
COD Elite shows your emblem, I just copied the URL.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I'm using this one

With the "Far Superior" callsign

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I use my clan's callsign mostly, looks like this but with "IPLAYCOD.COM" written on it:

http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__..._elite_001.png

Should have this one unlocked soon as our clan hits level 30:

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I'm always jealous of the clan call-signs. I don't really have a group I play with on a regular basis so I'm pretty much lone-wolfing it most of the time. I love the Griffin one though :tu

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Yah I wish you where on Xbox, we can almost alway use one more good player. I think our clan is now full at 100 players but we play with non-clan members too. Our clan was advertised on the xbox dashboard a couple weeks ago for a MW3 play date. It's kind of annoying because you get messages with questions about joining all day long when you play. I have all my communications blocked except for friends so I luckily avoid that part:tu.


I have been using the FAD lately, never really used it much before. I took it with this prestige because for some reason I am not playing well with my MK14 lately. My overall KDR with it is around 1.85 so far, I always compare my individual weapon stats to see what works best for me. In Black Ops I loved the MPL and used it all the time and then all of a sudden it got really popular and I stopped using it.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Louie's a king now? I thought he drowned when the tsunami hit the jungle.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I need to start playing again. It's always fun to team up with Shane and his group. :tu

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Gonna play all night. Add me on XBL. BHalbrooks
Make sure you say you're from here.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I finally feel like I am getting the hang of this game after playing for something like a total of 4 days. :r :r

I know most of the maps (although I have not been playing the new ones that much) and still do a good amount of camping, but move around more from spot to spot. I have gotten my KDR up to 0.75+. It is going to be a while before I get it to 1.

For my first prestige, I unlocked the ACR and Assassin (I got a free token for being an elite member or something). I usually use Blind Eye (I do not like getting mowed down by helicopters), Assassin and Marksman.

For my next prestige, I will probably unlock Dead Silence or the Bouncing Betty. I really like the Bouncing Betty, it is great when I am camping as I can use it to protect behind me.

I have been using the ACR and P90 a lot lately. My KDR for the ACR is above 1.0 and I have been trying out the P90 as I have heard good things.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I used the RSASS tonight. Unlocked everything up to the heartbeat sensor. I'm **** with a SR if I haven't unlocked Acog. I never use the massive scope...

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Looking at your graph it appears you had a good few games lately!
Since you like to camp, you should consider unlocking the portable radar instead of the BB, it is an amazing little device for securing an area, your team mates can use it as well.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I can tear it up with a L118 with acog running around, not so much with the scope.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I really like the new maps. I am mostly a Run N Gunner, so Piazza is awesome, but I do love Liberation as it is fun to sit back and snipe sometimes.

What Turtle Beach headset are you all using?

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I use the cheapest ones I could find, they suck but are better than the stock ones. I couldn't justify spending $200 on a nice set, but I wish I had them.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I'm the same. Love the RSASS but only utilize it with the ACOG scope. The variable scope is a pain in the ass really. Also, I've just never gotten used to the thermal, although I bet it really is handy!


Ear Force Delta. There's a pic a few pages back. Best investment I ever made for gaming. An absolute pleasure!

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I got the $60 pair. After two wireless worthless ear pieces it is much better.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

How does the portable radar work? I tried it a couple of times and I didn't see anything. I usually play HC, does it only work when the UAV is up?

I bought the new X32 with the variable wireless, while it is not surround sound, I like it. It does eat batteries, but I did not want a cord going across the room while I play. I have not had any interference issues and the sound quality is good. I think they were $99. I might eventually get the signal processor to upgrade them to surround sound. The new X42s were not out yet when I got them.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I'm using the Turtle Beach PX-21. It has separate controls for the game volume, chat, mic on/off and bass management. Great headset.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

No it works all the time, I don't play HC so I do not know if it is different.

You place it and it gives you a UAV like sweep on your map in a large radius of the area you placed it. All team mates can see the sweep on their map too. If you have a few people place them at key locations you can really benefit as a team and you can actually do away with the UAV perk all together.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

In hardcore, you have to contantly be checking your map with the portable radar, which I do anyways. If you don't frequently check the map, every 10 seconds or so, it won't be of much help. :tu

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Oh there is no hud map in HC? That would take away much of the purpose of using a portable radar if that is the case. I can't stand HC so I am ignorant to the functions of equipment in that game type.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Yeah, completely useless in HC IMO unless you have a team where someone is constantly throwing up the UAV. With the new maps I've been forced to play modes other than TDM, which is both good and bad. It reinforced my loathing of Kill Confirmed but it made me really appreciate S&D. Especially on Liberation :tu

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

No HUD map, you have to constantly be checking your map on your own. You also don't get to see where you got shot from. This is porbably why the better players play hardcore and the noobs stick to regular. Must be nice to know where everyone is all the time. :D

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Actually most noobs I know like HC better so they can camp and not reveal their position when firing. Also they can get kills easier, snipers are almost always OSOK. Most noobs complain that it is too hard to kill in regular and therefore prefer HC. The better players I know (some are semi-pro) all play regular, most play Dom though and not TDM. I prefer regular CTF myself but don't get to play it much because I don't like to play without a full team. I have been playing Team Tac mostly lately.

I love S&D, it is so much more intense without respawns. My best game was 11-0 a couple weeks ago. We play Team Tac alot and always vote for S&D if possible.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I agree with your assessment on noobs in HC Shane. However, all it takes is a player or two in the game like ucubed to make them pay for their extended camping sessions. Its actually quite hilarious as they get very upset when receiving some well-deserved punishment. LOL

I prefer HC simply because to me, it is a more realistic experience. I like not knowing where my enemies are located. I like that its not just bedlam run-n-gun on a map. The tactical part really floats my boat.

I couldn't agree more on S&D. It is a very INTENSE game! I'm almost never the bomb-runner in the game. I generally stick to the perimeter of the map and pick off enemies for the runner as he approaches them. It works very well most of the time. However, a few times during the last few S&D matches all my team mates get killed before I can set up their path for them. There's nothing more frustrating than trying to take out an entire enemy team as a sniper while still planting the bomb in time.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I find HC is less tactical and more instinctual and requires more patience than Core. I find Core more tactical because there is more tactical equipment usable and more diversity among enemy play styles. As far as realism, hands down HC is way more realistic. I have argued this point on COD forums for years: I don't seek realism in my video games, I seek entertainment, tactics, team work & fun. To much realism can start to take away from entertaining IMHO. I am just glad we all have a choice of Core or HC so we can enjoy playing the type we most like. This all being said, I used to only play HC in MW2 until the noob tubers took over the game.
I love to run'n'gun, running around killing at a fast pace, but I really add value when I play defensive. I wish we were all on xbox.

Don't forget, the enemy knows where you are as well. ;)

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Here's to hoping they can find a vehicle for Xbox and PS3 owners to all play on the same network. THAT would be worth paying a monthly fee :tu

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

That would be incredible!
I played a game before that allowed PC users and xbox users to play together, it was awesome.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

If you have a problem with campers, then I would suggest a portable radar or heartbeat sensor. Now I typically only use heartbeat on S & D, but typically campers with a sniper of the sort use quickdraw and not assassin unlike all my classes. If you play on HD then a class with a heartbeat sensor or one with Marksman can help tremendously.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Yeah but that would be really unfair on the xbox users as even with max sensitivity on my controller it never felt as fast as my nice razor mouse and unfair for the PC users if auto-aim was kept on.

Although i would enjoy the sheer slaughter of it.

PS. camping is a legit tactic just memorise the main spots and if you get killed time and time again going for those revenge kills remember its your own fault if your e-peen morals dont allow you to flash+nade+shotty+tube someone camping in a corner well thats your problem and my points <3

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

There are components you can buy to slap on a mouse and keyboard for XBOX and PS3, but as I said earlier, the point of a console game is the controller. I understand using an arcade controller for fighting games because that's where it started, but I find those using keyboard and mouse on a console platform to be "lame" for a lack of better term.

As for cross platform, Counter-Strike: Go, it was suppose to be cross-platform (minus XBOX, don't even get me started to why they said no to Valve). As of today though, they nixed that project because "Due to the long, laborious and downright obtuse patching processes on consoles, Valve has decided to separate the two platforms so as to provide the best version of the game at all times instead of waiting for the certification committee to stop screwing around all day and actually do their jobs." Highly disappointed, but whatever, I'll just keep playing MW3

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

This red tape and paperwork is why ive gone off consoles (apart from the xboxs built quality being downright crap) for anything els than a few FPS and driving games the fact you "get what your given and like it" annoys me.

PC VS XBOX i would enjoy - they say no
Skyrim modding kit for xbox/ps3 - they say no
The list goes on.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

You also get an audible indicator when opponents have been detected, which is helpful so you don't have to keep your eyes on the mini-map.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Wanna play? XBL: Bhalbrooks

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I don't have any problem destroying campers. I just find them cheap and boring. If they wanna lay in a corner, get one kill on me and get destroyed the rest of the game, so be it. :D


Moving on, I played the new map last night. It was okay. I really wish I could play DLC on any game type I prefer. I dislike KC and that is all I was getting as an option.

Really? I never knew that. I will have to listen for this, what is the indicator?

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

It's hard to explain, but it's a deep pinging sound. Check it out.

I don't think I'd be able to hear it without the headset.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

You can hear it without a headset. Same with the heartbeat monitors. :tu

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I play terrible with the MK14 if it doesn't have a scope. Iron sighting it gets me negative very quickly. It's been like this since COD4.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Acog and rapid fire are your friend.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Silencer and Rapid Fire for me =P

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I am using three guns these days.

ACR6.8 - I usually use silencer and the hybrid sight.

P90 - silencer + rapid fire (I am trying out different scopes, but I like rapid fire :D)

RSASS - suppressor + variable zoom or ACOG

I like the extra vision I get with the ACOG, but the variable zoom is nice for some maps. Since I still do a lot of camping or camp and move, I always use a silencer with Assassin.

I am not even sure what the other Proficiencies do as I usually just stop once I get two attachments.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

In my opinion you just can't beat the Type 95. Its kill power is just incredible. If you are a good shot, one pull of the trigger is all you need.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Some guns work well for me with iron sights, with the MK14 I prefer red dot.
The type 95 has decent irons IMO, but I can fire two accurate shots faster with the MK14 than the three round burst of the 95.

Just logged into COD Elite and it shows my emblem as this:
https://elite.callofduty.com/assets/...6c9f75ee0/xbox
I have never seen this before and I didn't set it.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

With the MK14 my accuracy is 27% and KDR is 1.77 and only 20% with the 95 and a KDR of 1.42.
I just started using the ACR and my accuracy is the same as the 95 but my KDR is 1.96 and I like the irons on it.
IMO I can in fact beat the Type 95. :D

PS, my secondary is the MP9 and I have a higher KDR than the 95 with only a 1% accuracy drop.


Just saying there are many other guns that work as well or better "for me" than the type 95. The 95 is a decent gun though.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Great. A night that I will be up kinda late babysitting some BBQ, the MW3 servers take a dump....

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Ps3?
