Do you want a more balanced MW3 experience?

This is something I've been thinking about doing for a while:

Every night I would go onto Xbox Live from 7-9pm ET and host private matches with my custom game modes.

We would be playing:

12 player TDM Extended (10,000 point maximum)

12 player FFA (up to 50 kills)

18 player Domination (up to 300 points)

possibly more

Custom rules/restrictions:

- Primary Weapons: No ACR 6.8, Type 95, MP7, or Striker.

- Proficiencies: No 'Melee' proficiency or 'Kick' proficiency (yes, you will have to learn how to deal with recoil) However, I might have some pre-made LMG classes with Kick, since they need all the buffing they can get.

- Stealth: No Assassin, no UAV, potentially no silencers. Advanced UAV and Counter-UAV are still allowed. If no silencers, Advanced UAV will be banned as well.

- Attachments: No heartbeat sensors, no akimbo, and possibly no rapid fire (if the lobby doesn't want it)

- Deathstreaks: Absolutely no deathstreaks

- Killstreaks: No ballistic vests, no care packages, no stealth bombers, potentially no Escort Airdrop. (and no UAVs)

*Depending on how the lobby feels, Reapers could be banned as well.

- Equipment: No motion sensors

- Secondary weapons: Currently I only plan to restrict the XM25. I am okay with machine pistols because there is no akimbo option. However, I could also restrict all machine pistols in order to allow akimbo for regular handguns.

- Map Rotation: Everything except Downturn, Carbon, and Outpost, but this is up for debate.

- If you don't currently have much unlocked, there are always going to be awesome pre-made classes to choose from (like the Spas-12 with Dmg+Ext Mags).

Unfortunately Xbox 360 is the only platform I own, sorry PS3 and PC guys.

This would also be a good way for forum users to get to know each other. I plan on posting this on the Den Kirson forums as well. If you would be interested in doing this, let me know on this thread, there has to be enough people for me to start doing this (obivously not going to play TDM with only 6 players). If you know you wanna do this, send me a friend request on XBL. GT = KryptikSpaniard

  That would be fine, you could probably use rapid fire as long as the rest of the lobby is okay with it. I'm kinda on the fence about rapid fire

    I can safely say that your FFA with 18 players is gonna become a spawn camping experience. Having it played with 16 players on a LAN, no map was large enough to prevent spawn raping. Not even baraaka was large enough.
    
    Also (your probably know this:P) but you can adjust your gametype to exclude all these attachments. That will prevent anyone from cheating of some kind.

  I've debated disallowing quickdraw, but then I only have 3 usable red perks, and people use quickdraw for non-sniper weapons as well, and I don't wanna ban the entire sniper class simply for other people to use quickdraw on other weapons.

Re: Do you want a more balanced MW3 experience?

question: "do I want a more balanced MW3 experience?"

answer: no, not really. I can adapt a playing style to do well with any weapon in the game, despite what my enemies are using.

People say the Dragunov, KSG12, USAS12, M16 etc are useless and inferior yet they clearly arent aware that these weapons perform just fine in HC mode.

People say that pistols are inferior because machine pistols are better but I disagree. Play HC mode with a pistol and when you realize that the steadiest, most accurate, quickest aiming weapons in the game are a OHK at any range then you'll begin to forget about ammo wasting machine pistols.

This isnt all about HC mode either. LMGs are beast in Core yet no one else likes them. I slay ACRs and Type 95's all day. The MP7 and PP90M1 arent the only useful SMGs... The PM9 when used correctly is a monster and we all know the P90 can run matches.

The MK14 is a beast weapon too. Requires a little skill but it can smash ACR/Type 95 users down the drain alllll dayyyy loooong,

The game is balanced fine. There isnt a single weapon in the game that can dominate to the point of making other weapons completely useless. I use what I want, when I want and I do just fine.

Re: Do you want a more balanced MW3 experience?

LMFAO!!!!!!

quite honestly he deserves it =p

BTW vileself: This isn't a "is this game balanced?" thread. It's a "do you want to play a game mode like this?" thread. If you don't wanna play it, you're more than welcome to stay in the public lobbies. Some of us will go play with settings that take a little bit of skill.

A balanced experience would be-no perk's,no attachment's,killstreak's at 3-6-7 uav/airstrike/attack helicopter(maybe pave low?) just like in cod4. This way there's no b.s.

  Re: Do you want a more balanced MW3 experience?
  
  Yes, playing a more simplified, truly gun-on-gun COD4-esque would be really nice, I'd be up for doing that too, but of the perks, attachments, and killstreaks allowed on my list I don't really see what's imbalanced.
  
  A COD4 mode would be only 2 perks as well. Remember in COD4, the blue perks were your equipment (RPGs, Claymores, C4, extra nades, etc). Pistols as the only secondary option, etc.

Re: Do you want a more balanced MW3 experience?

Tomorrow is going to be the first night I try to do this. I'll sign on at 7pm ET and play in public lobbies and I'll see if I get any messages. Unfortuntely despite people saying this would be nice to play it doesn't seem like anyone actually wants to, so I'll see how it goes
