You've never watched ucubed play then

There's no "sitting back" about his playing style at all

Yah sorry, I wasn't saying he isn't good. I wasn't trying to comment on him at all. I was talking about how KDR is perceived and that it isn't a realistic stat to determine somebodys skill. I wasn't trying to say he isn't good, sorry if it came off that way.
he would prolly score sky high on my suggested rating system then and it would be a better gauge I believe.

I played a bit last night and did absolute sh*te. Usually I do fairly well but I was having an off night. Kept getting killed by a 3 man run-n-gun team that attacked simultaneously from different directions. Ugh

Play again. They have eliminated the throwing knives, and have added different guns. LOT OF FUN!

Yah but they can still just camp a corner and kill you before you can get into kill range so I don't think I would enjoy that.

My sig from a COD forum, thought I would share. I am never on there anymore though:

[LasciviousXXX]

Very cool

I can't wait for the new maps to finally come out on PS3

Oh man that sucks, I forgot you don't have them yet.
I really like both maps. Alot of snipers in the central park one but many other routes to get to them so it plays well and is balanced. The one in Italy is a great CQC map, great for Run'n'gun style.

[LasciviousXXX]

The one in Italy is the one I'm most looking forward to so far because of the multiple levels of the map. Having a 3-4 tiered map is something I really haven't experienced since I started playing COD when MW2 came out. I'm on my 2nd prestige in the 20's right now so hopefully I'll have unlocked my RSASS by the time the maps come out on PS3

Yah it is mt favorite out of the two. I love jump off a level while killing somebody below me.
I think we are at the same exact spot in prestige.

[LasciviousXXX]

Sweet! Good to know

I used my first prestige coin from Black Ops to unlock the custom title and emblem. First prestige coin I unlocked the ACR for use and the 2nd prestige I used for the Claymore. Third time around I'll unlock the RSASS. Unsure after that. Probably Assassin.

I unlocked MK14, PP90 & Assasin so far.
I will prolly unlock the Portable Radar next.

[LasciviousXXX]

I just can't get used to the portable radar. I tried using it for a bit but never really got the feel of it. Maybe I'm using it wrong LOL.

The nice thing about it is if your whole team uses them and spreads them out correct you can cover most of the map. Yours works for everybody not just you. I also really like the trophy system when I am on defense but the portable radar isn't unlocked until level 77 so it is worth unlocking I think.

This is something I often wondered about. Why are all maps either 1 or two stories high? I mean the buildings often are taller but you can't actually access areas above the second floor. I think more of that third dimension would improve gameplay. It would be ad advantage for snipers, but not if there were other perchs that could help keep them in check.

BTW, I too was on last night. I made a discovery not long ago that my TV settings were causing input lag. Meaning all my movements would be delayed by about 200 ms. They happened in realtime but weren't reflected on my TV until 200 ms later. I was also seeing enemy movements 200 ms after they happend. I know it sounds like no big deal but it's often the difference between killing or getting killed. Anyway, last night was my first time back on since I've corrected it. What a huge difference. I had multiple positive KDRs last night. I know that doesn't mean much for many of you, but it's a huge thing for me. Of course my parade got rained on when my internet connection crapped out.

Just hopped on MW3. I dont have the patience to play with people i dont know, especially since theres no team work. Just started playing with a guy from my unit and his buddies since my friend list is 11 and 9/10 of them are never on (people got kids and dont play or are deployed.)

Got my K/D around 1 right now. half the time I'm at 17-20 kills with 8-10 deaths, others i'm 9/15.

Not a big hardcore fan but anything else is good if i'm playing with people that actually talk.

When our party gets too big for TDM we usually fire up an infected game.

Survivors have a 1887 shotty and a magnum. Infected will usually start with a shot gun or SMG. After the first kill infected only have throwing and tactical knives. It a good format. We always play on Dome.

When I play with my team you'll have a guarantee of at least 3 portable radars up in choke spots. Portable radar is pretty decent if most of the players don't use assassin on the other team. You just need the radar on your far end and defend the area in front of you. You can also use a bouncing betty or claymore around another entrance of where you are so you have time to react. Using these in conjunction with portable radar is fantastic!. I used my tokens to unlock ACR, Portable Radar, Assassin, and Claymore. I need to unlock Scavenger next because not dying means I don't have any ammo =P

Which forum is that?
I frequent mw3forum.com a lot, but most of the recent posts are just bickering and whining about akimbos, quickscoping, op, nerfed, boosting, and hackers.
