Shooting people in the face saved my life

^ i love mp7 cept for the shitty iron sights on that thing.

also seems like alot of AR and akimbo machine pistol classes in game

I copped a PS3 160gb Holiday bundle for $200 and Amazon messed up on my order and let me get MW3 for $30! Should be getting the package early next week and I'm down to play some games with you guys. BF3 maxed out on my PC just isn't cutting it... It's fun with a full squad of friends, but not nearly as addicting as COD games.

I was pretty decent at xbox 360 MW2 and Blops (2.5kdr+) but it's been a long time since I've played and I need to get use to the PS3 controller. Seems like you guys are pretty good too so I'm excited .

[bdotwells]

anybody playing BF3 online in the PSN? I've had it for few days, it's really distracting me from my finals work.....

agreeing with lozinski here. I tried some hardcore TDM and it was just dudes camping in stupid corners of buildings/walls. with no incentive to move much because you're playing TDM people will lame out.

I have the most fun playing Sabotage or Demo or some objective shit. Team Defender is new I think(?) and it's pretty cool.

also created a sufu clan on elite

i just prefer HC because of the dynamic and higher quality players.

I wouldn't say that hxc necessarily has "higher quality players" cuz each mode will have its chumps and champs. I've got friends that play MLG on the hxc circuit that don't have half the success playing in core. It's just personal preference/experience with the dynamic.

@DUM - Pretty sure you have to send individual invites for clan recruitment.

can't stand hardcore. i don't like waiting to spawn so i haven't even tried it out in mw3.

[Lozinski]

Invite mweeeeee to dat claaaaan shiiiiiit

[DüM]

thats stupid if there isn't at least a request system in place. I don't want to have to invite everyone all the time.

[Method]

Do you guys have CoD:Elite premium?

I don't usually buy CoD map packs which seems like the main reason anyone would get it.... but the other features of Elite seem kind of attractive. I'd be down to try for the competitive prizes for fun.

I'm on edge for it... I'll most likely end up getting it once my funds are more stable.

Bumped my sensitivity up to 4 recently and looking to step it up to 5 in a few days.

What are you guys running??

[Solix]

Aside from the map packs, I really don't see much else benefit for a casual player. I'm on Elite (solely for the maps deal), but checking out my brother's account, the free edition offers enough for my wants. Could be different tho if you plan on going more competitive and stuff.

^I run 6 generally, sometimes 8 for sniping. Been trying my hand at just mastering everything on 6 tho cuz 8 just fucks my game up too much.

[Lozinski]

How are the 'strategy guides' and shit? I'm probably going to get it for the map packs but it seems interesting enough..

So far tho, their little tips and shit on the free version have been either captain obvious or plain wrong.

Telling me to equip range on the mp7 PFFFFFF. DAT SHIT ALREADY GOT THE RANGE<--imagine all caps. Rapid fire = much better

[DüM]

yeah I'll prob end up copping for the maps since I tend to cop anyway.

I was running 8, but I got a slightly bigger screen (24" now) and bumped down to 7 cause it felt better.

I bumped up to a 51'' and had to drop back to 3 just to get my groove back haha (back at my usual now). I never tried increasing it in the black ops days. I don't know why..

[Method]

I think for CoD games higher the better until you feel comfortable. I remember gradually moving up from default to about 7-8 in MW2. It does throw your game off quite a bit though which is annoying but its worth it in the end.

[rizzleryan]

If i plan to move up sensitivity, i usually play a couple of matches at 2-3 settings higher than the setting i want. so for example, if i want to play at 7 i play a couple of matches at 9 then put it down to 7. it helps me adjust to it faster.

[Solix]

5th moab, first this prestige. Anyone know why I can't render vids? Tried uploading a clip cuz I used the striker, but the option is greyed out even tho I'm within the restrictions.

[DüM]

you cannot say 'wack' on elite. it will turn it into ****.

wow

[Lozinski]

Hahaha so you went 25 (or 24) - 0 yet your team was only winning by an extra 400 points?? SMH teammates...

[ROYALEFATALE]

i still can't login to callofduty.com, keep getting a server error 500, can't accept any clan invites for now...smh

[Lozinski]

Can we do this hypebeast shit soon? We're all at decent levels/nearing prestige again.. Unless we wait another week. Fuckin tryouts

[DüM]

I'll hit up infamous to pick a date

[Lozinski]

is it just me or is the FAD garbage? I can't seem to get many hits with it...

[Solix]

I thought it was pretty good for the short times I've used it. Better than the scar/g36, worse than the acr/901 on my list. About even with the m4, trading off a bit more recoil/crappy iron sights for a bigger clip.

Been running nothing but support for the past week and can't say my w/l got any better, but my kdr definitely dropped by about .25. Had a cold streak where I was running only uav/cuav and still getting rocked. Looks like i'm headed back to running my lone wolf specialist setup.

[Lozinski]

Yeah.. Support doesn't do shit if your team is crap.

If I run assault (predator, chopper, overwatch) or (predator, reaper, ac130), my k/d is either WAY higher or a little bit lower than specialist.

Marksman+stalker is really beast tho...

Edit: Just copped some astro a40s for mega cheap. Very excited.

I've only been able to put a few hours into the game but I have to admit I'm having a lot of fun.

Killstreaks and perks seem to be a lot more balanced this time around. Not like in MW2 where every other second a killstreak was going off... and with support, there are a surprising number of UAVs going up from teammates which is nice. I don't see as many people hitting higher then 5:1 ratios in games so I guess that's saying something about the balance improvement.

The maps are pretty bad though. They feel generic and too small. And the graphics suck worst then I remember.

Anyway, you guys have any advice on leveling really fast? I'm going to be starting a new account next week (basically starting all over) because I'll be playing on my own PS3 then. Everyone keeps saying go with the Specialist strike package but I don't see how that would be very helpful in leveling, or at least more helpful then going assault and getting offensive killstreaks.

[ROYALEFATALE]

specialist sucks, assault will give you the best K/D from kill streaks, in good games i get at least 50% of my kills from killstreaks

[Solix]

Once I get that 8 kill bonus tho, I feel invincible.

That said, I went 45-6 with specialist and another MOAB today.. we lost by two. Second best dude only had 7 kills. *sigh*

[Premo]

specialist helps level you up faster because after getting 8 kills, you get all the perks as well as +200 for every kill instead of +50 or +100 because of the specialist bonus. specialist pretty much lets you win every single gun fight

support users can go eat a dick. stealth bombers all day ey

[Solix]

But you also get xp for calling in your killstreaks for assault/support. It all about evens out, unless you go whole games on specialist without dying.
