Ok, it's friday, i'm bored... so...
What are your favourite weapon/perk loadouts on mw3?
I'm using blindeye and assassin on all my classes, with stalker on my assault rifle ones, steady aim on the smgs and marksman on the sniper as the third perk.
in terms of guns, the cm901 assault rifle, silenced and with kick, the L118a sniper with kick and the pp90a1 smg (at least, i think that's what it's called!) silenced and with range.
The cm901 is a real quality weapon. I'm surprised it unlocks so early, and yet has the same power but a higher fire rate and accuracy compared to the AK47.

I've been put off the AK because of the recoil. It seriously is all over the place. Will definitely give it a go at some stage though as I do like to use every gun in the game.

Loving the update to the mercenary playlist adding in domination as well as kill confirmed and TDM was an excellent idea. Up until now, you've always known that playing domination meant you were likely to be up against a clan or party - now you can play it on a more even playing field
was a little disappointed to not get a title or emblem for getting my cm901 to level 31 though

The new update has sort of fixed the lag. I think they got rid of the lag compensation so now you are not handicapped playing against players with rubbish connections and so far i've had decent connection and hitmarkers seem to have improved as well. At least they are fixing the issues with the game this time unlike MW2 so thats a good sign. Spawning is still terrible though

yeah, it does seem a lot better since they did that update.
the lag compensation made such a difference to how you play, it's now taking me a while to get used to it not being there

I could see the idea behind it but like always people found a way to exploit it. So it didn't work. I mean by now everyone has broadband so most people should have good connection and should be matched with people from the same country/area, that should usually give good connection as long as you have decent upload speed. The amount of money the CoD franchise makes, they should have dedicated servers. That should be nothing to Activision, not even a small scratch on their pockets.

dedicated servers cause their own problems though. client side servers generally mean a lower ping on games, unless you live near the server. if for example the server is in london and you have 3 people playing from london and 3 from manchester, the london ones would have a huge advantage.
client side means that the game will auto balance to the best person to be the server based on pings.

Isn't that how p2p servers works. It usually picks the person with the best connection to be host. The whole point of lag compensation was so the host didn't get an advantage, didn't really work very well when your 2 seconds behind the action most of the time.
Connection was really good in MW2, not perfect but good, and was ok in BO.

yeah, client side and p2p are effectively the same thing.

well, finished off the prestige last night... my 1000th kill with the cm901 gave me 20100pts and pushed me over the mark... which was sweetly timed
Now i have to pick a new sniper rifle and a new assault weapon to do the next prestige with. I'm thinking maybe the barrett and the ump45, or possibly the m4.

I still haven't hit level 80 yet. I'm on level 73 atm, got the gold ACR the other day. I'm not sure I'm going to prestige any time soon once I get to level 80, if ever. Athough recently the game has really been seriously annoying me. The spawns the hit detection and they didn't fix lag compensation, its awful. Just so frustrating, empty a whole clip onto someone, only for them to just turn around and kill you with one bullet wtf...thats what was happening mostly yesterday.
