Jesus Mother of gently caress. There's been a million gigabytes of patches to this game and yet they haven't made the Stinger worth poo poo. Takes 5 minutes to swap to, another 5 to become aim-down-sight-able, and then takes you to die once to reload and be able to shoot down offensive air support. They need to ungimp this right effing now, and introduce the SAM turret from BlOps. Christ.

If you want to make the stinger usable combine it with fast hands and make sure to reload cancel it, iirc it's reloaded pretty much right after you remove the magazine

it's still not great but it's not going to work for anything other than UAVs if you just throw it on as a secondary on an assault rifle class because you had a leftover point

Yeah, I love Reznov as much as the next neckbeard infatuated with Soviet kitsch, but that sounds like a recipe for halving your sales without some ridiculously over-the-top AAA reboot... or doing what Wolfenstein did with it's alternate history.

Got the Ameli Subverter yesterday, decided to take it out for a spin and dear lord that gun is a monster with it's 3 hit kill at any range. I just slapped a Thermal scope on it along with quickdraw grip and it's unstoppable at medium to long ranges where it's just enough to outgun AR's.

I'm still hoping to get the Hbar3 insanity variant, it's probably the best one in the game atm because of the last patch.

I just had a 39/9 game where I called in 3 paladins (on loving Horizon, ugh) - so yes, this game is full of lovely players during the day.

Finally tried the maps out.

Sideshow: Kinda torn on it, I did uplink on it and enjoyed it quite a bit though the A spawn is a bit lopsided in terms of ball proximity, then I joined a game in progress and we where spawn trapped in C side, quit after 3 spawns and instant deaths.

Core: Not to bad but seems kinda big.

Drift: Easily my favorite map of the bunch, good balance of cover and sight lines, lots of routes to approach and the middle area is like a huge beacon for sniper pubbies who make easy pickings.

Urban: Absolute trash, they made a worse map than loving Dome. Would work a lot better if the maps was longer not wider, maybe open mid a tiny bit, as it stands its to much of a mess and spawning into sight lines is never fun.

Zombies was fun as gently caress.

All in all worth my $15.

I really like Urban but yeah the spawns on that map can be pretty bad. Was just playing it and I meleed someone and he spawned 10 feet in front of me and I killed him again. Here's the video.

I'm so sick of this game penalising me because I've got a good connection. Some games I'll go 40-3, other times all I get is assist points because apparently point-blanking someone with a the MORS Silver Bullet variant or emptying a magazine into people right beside them isn't enough to avoid their insta-death bullets, also they're able to dance left and right around my bullets like I'm spraying a dotted line around them.

I might get it on there or PC, I haven't decided yet. Hardwired is pretty fun when people play the objective (except when you have a bad driver who doesn't look for laser trip mines and RPG campers).

That's the general opinion. Campaign is fun. Multiplayer is bad.

Also the Target I work at is still selling blops 1 for 40 bucks. Mw3 is 30 and ghosts is 20. Found that pretty funny today.

The stealth mission at Irons' mansion is quicker and easier if you don't kill anybody.
I think I actually like it more than MW2's.

MW3 is like $40 on Steam because Activision doesn't give a single gently caress about post launch sales of the games. I think nearly everything they put out is like that unless it flops incredibly hard and they have to cut their losses by dropping the price 60% in three months for a weekend deal or whatever. For example: Amazing Spider-Man and Amazing Spider-Man 2 are both $40 on Steam. 2 flopped hard and had a price cut nearly as soon as it launched, the first one did relatively OK from what I've heard and sticks around $40.

I liked playing the free bf on the 360 and I like hotwire on hardline but bf isn't buy above 20 bucks fun. I did buy titanfall when it was on sale and its super fun, almost makes me regret not buying an xbone at launch.

TF is the most fun I've had in a multiplayer game since MW2. (We should play it more Yeyo)

COD Online seems like it has pretty much everything goons love about COD.

-SICK RAD GUITAR RIFFS

-COD 4 and MW2 Maps

-SET SPAWN TRAPS

The only minus is that I'm not sure domination exists? But whatever, I need sick guitar riffs.
