Blooming hell Xbox get thier 2nd map pack before we even get the first one. So effectively they'll have 3 new maps before we even get to try out this new DLC,
I couldnt help but spoil it for myself and check these out on youtube.
Liberation is a great sniper map.
Piazza is totally run and gun with tight corridors etc.
I have ELITE premium so they I will be getting them.
BTW MW3 has grown on me and I quite like all the maps. They have grown on me but none of them are classics by any stretch.
On MW2 I used to tolerate all the maps but I used to get extra excitement when the likes of Highrise and Terminal were selected.
The maps I didnt really like were....can't even remember the names now but one was the level with stacks and stacks of those large cubed of what looked like concrete or paper slabs.
The other one was the level that was always raining and had the bridge above that I frequently lost my care package on. I tolerated them, but they are similar excitement wise to most of the maps on MW3 IMO.
2nd map pack? i wasn't aware they'd had any yet.
i'll have to check out some vids of liberation - imo what the game is missing is a quality sniping map.
I too hated the raining map on mw2, but for a different reason - it gave me a stinking headache trying to peer through the murk.
2nd map pack? i wasn't aware they'd had any yet.
----------------------------
i mean apart from this one....
Yes Xbox are getting 1 new map on Feb 24th I believe?
BTW your not a quick scoper are you????
I blooming hate those cheap tactics which is totally unrealistic.
I snipe alot at times and do it the PROPER WAY!
BTW your not a quick scoper are you????
-----------------------------------
good god no! when i snipe, i snipe. I don't use a 15kg, 4ft long rifle like an smg i feckin hate quickscopers. i can't understand for the life of me why they put it back in after removing it for black ops
Microsoft have a deal with activision that they will get all the dlc's first - apparently there are 20 lined up to arrive in the next 9 months
what modes do you play? i find some of the maps are great for one format, but not so good for others. for example resistance is a great map on domination - but it's a bit dull on TDM or KC
I play mostly Ground War with my mates along with domination and kill confirmed game modes to play the smaller maps.
When I get a substantial amount of friends online we'll play team defender aswell.
Infected is hilarious if your in a party.
I don't even touch S&D, CTF or Sabotage.
Yes resistance is best for domination I agree. Thats my official sniper map. Capture C, quickly grab B and take my spot on the balcony in front of B aiming down the sights at the other end.
If I had to choose a favourite map it would be....................god I can't even choose, they are all too similar and not that great to stand out.
Liberation looks like a sniper map, seeing as Snipers are annoying as it is, since its mostly stupid 12 year old kids thinking they are great exploiting the auto-aim with quickscoping, I'm not sure I'd enjoy it that much. I play MW3 on the xbox but didn't really bother buying Elite Premium.
Anyway, I think most of the maps have grown on to me, I think 'Hardhat' is the best map in the game, I hate Seatown, Carbon and Lockdown though, awful maps.
lockdown is one of my favourites - and i despise hardhat. it's terrible, just a complete run and gun fest. the worst map on the game to me is arkaden. i don't even play it any more, if it comes up, i leave the server.
guess that's the thing though, different people like different things.
quickscoping kids probably won't like a decent sniper map much, because it'll be too long range for quickscoping to be very effective. my mate's little boy used to be forever quickscoping on mw2, but as soon as a decent sniper map came up, like derail for example, he couldn't deal with it because he'd have to snipe properly.
I used to hate snipers, i'd call them every name under the sun - but then i taught myself to do it, and realised how much skill is involved, particularly if you're battling another sniper or two, so now i don't mind so much if they take me out. i look on it as my own stupid fault for letting them get the chance
Whats your favourite gun? I used to use the ACR quite a lot, but since I unlocked the AK47, started using that (I don't bother prestiging, took me long enough to get to level 80). Love that gun, and the fact that not many people use it since it takes a while to get used to due to its recoil, makes me want to use it. The less common the better. Also slap a silencer with 'kick' on it the and guns a beast, I have it in gold and it looks great. Probably my most used weapon now.
Oh...I hate people that use the FMG9's and Type 95 combo, sooo cheap.
I respect all snipers that snipe the proper way.
My fav guns are obviously ACR, SCAR and the PM-9 SMG.
FMGs are soooooooooo cheap!!!! I'll shoot the guy first yet he still kills me
Btw Arkaden is actually one of the maps i like playing most, along with Downturn. Maps filled with clutter lol.
i don't really have a favourite gun - so far i have done the mastery on all the sniper except the dragonov, which i'm currently working on, for smgs i've done the ump45 and pp90, currently working on the mp5, for assault rifles i've done the cm901, scar, acr, and currently working on the m4 and mk14...
i choose the gun based on what map it is, and what format the game is - but on each prestige i work a gun nutil i've done it's mastery, then move onto another. once i've done that on all of them, then i'll go back and do the kills/headshots for each of them.
my least favourite that i've used so far was the acr - slap the kick proficiency on it, and it feels like you're cheating because it's so easy - favourite so far is either the scar or the m4 for assaults, and the pp90 for smg's.
LMGS and the majority of shotguns especially (besides striker) are just so under powered. Not a good gun balance on MW3.
Who misses the Tar-21 from MW2? I do.
i did like the tar - ugly as sin, but damn efective.
i don't like the lmgs mainly because of how slow you move with them - and the shottys are just useless. the only effective way to use one is with overkill and pair it up with an assault rifle/sniper so you've got a more rangy option.
Tar-21 was great, one of the few guns in MW2 that actually had recoil, close and medium range was where it was really deadly.
I've been trying to use the MP7 lately but for some reason I just can't get used to using SMG's due to how light they feel being a heavy AR user, my aiming is always put off using them...probably becuase I play with 2 sensitivity
if you use assaults constantly, it does take a while to get used to smg's, you'll probably be over correcting all the time - but on sensitivity 2 can you even move the gun as fast as it can move?
after many years of being a pc gamer and using a 3200dpi mouse, the lowest setting i ever use is 7, otherwise its juuuuust tooooooo slooooooow for me.
I don't know why but when I move it up to 3 or more, I just can't aim, for some reason it feels really high in MW3, in BO i played with 4, any higher and my aiming is all over the place. With 2 I feel I have more control on the gun and can land more bullets. I used to play fps games on the PC, played CoD4 on it, its just the controller effect I guess.
However if someones shoots me from behind, I'd be dead and him long gone by the time I've managed to turn around 180 degrees
The respawns on it are a joke
Agreed ^^
Although, they have ruined Demolition which was my favourite game type.

---------------------------------------------
i keep seeing and hearing people say this - but as i have very little life, i've now got a gameplay time of about 5 days, and i can honestly say i have only really sworn about where i have spawned 2 or 3 times - and can only recall a couple of occasions where someone has spawned behind me too - and i can't even be sure they weren't on a tactical insertion that i hadn't spotted.
Overall it's a far better game than mw2 or blackops - the only 2 other cod games i have played, i just wish there were some rooves you could get onto for decent sniping.
^ I liked BO, don't know why people hate that game, is it the developers? Treyarch did a good job supporing the game and actually listened to the more mature community rather then the 10 year old wanting quickscoping and what not. Anyone tried to Snipe in BO, it took a lot of practice to get used to it and thats what I liked about it.
The game was well balanced and it had some of the best maps I've played in....Jungle, Firing Range, Summit, Hazard were great maps, all varied in size and all very unique. I think Treyarch do a better job in designing their maps then IW, most maps in MW3 are rubbish except for maybe a few.
i don't understand why so many people hated BO either - some of the maps were great, a decent range of weapons, and no quickscoping noob tarts.
oddly though, the graphics didn't seem to be as good as mw2 - so maybe that was a part of it. ultra pretty graphics have never been very important to me - playability is far more important.
Apart from the lack of sniping spots, i like the maps in mw3 in general. there are a couple i'm not overly keen on, and 2 i hate, but on the whole i'd say the set are easily as good as BO or MW2. Hopefully they'll re-engineer some of the maps from those into 3 on one of the dlc's - it'd be good to play afghan, firing range and summit again without having to go back to the earlier games.
BO was trash!!!
Rubbish gfx and everyone just used the famas!
Awful game. Nowhere near the quality of MW2 which to date is still the most perfect game I've ever played.
Obviously MW3 is better than MW2 overall but when MW2 came out, I simply could not fault it. The gameplay and content actually backed up all its hype.

MW2 perfect..you sure about that, that has to be the most inbalanced CoD game ever released. Don't you remember 'one man army', 'danger close' and 'grenade launcher' which single handedly ruined the game, then the 'lightweight', 'marathon', 'commando' combo, quick scoping taken to the next level etc etc, so many problems this game had.
Countless amount of gliches which were never fixed. MW2 had so much potential had IW actually supported it, instead they messed up bigtime. I think CoD 4 is easily the best CoD game from them all.
