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?

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It reinforced my loathing of Kill Confirmed but it made me really appreciate S&D. Especially on Liberation

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.

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.

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.
