    i have a problem why i try to play in multiplayer on the pc, it always starts with "connecting to online services" then it fails and tells me to look at callofduty.com/mw3/status/ and its at defcom 5. So i go on the forum and find out that the dlc had something to do with it (possibly) so i decide to get it and it still doesnt work. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    Waving Riot Shield Fix – NWF’d

    • the animation is the explosive pain animation
    • every player plays the same animation with every weapon and every perk
    • this doesn't defeat the purpose of blast shield, blast shield reduces flash effects and reduced explosive damage, which it still does.
    • the slight movement of the riot shield in the third person view is unfortunate but not significant, the riot shield still protects the majority of the player during the animation
    • the player is taking explosive damage and should be playing an animation to indicate he has taken damage

    With the already poor coverage and somewhat flaky behavior of the riot shield, any movement can be significant.  You can die even with the shield in place.  It is simply too easy to die when you have an inch of exposed skin.  That is why Riot Shield users scrape for any improvement that they might get.

     

     

    Surviving a Riot Shield semtex stick plays the explosion damage animation, doesn't it? Surviving the semtex itself isn't guaranteed, but in that situation the animation is a death sentence if someone thinks to spray you during or immediately after the semtex explosion.

    Haha, the riot shield is a joke! I've been OSKd killed through the middle of the shield by snipers a few times now, and I'm not even sure why.

    Question! I play knife only. I know it's not a "conventional" play style, but it has a fairly sizable following...

     

    Why can I tac knife or throw knife someone and they go into final stand, yet I knife them while not using the tac knife attachment... And they DIE... #justsayin

    Hi,

    I'm looking for an explanation of how the playability of this game can degrade after being so crisp post TU14? My ENTIRE friend list had improvement in accuracy statistics that are now going the other way.

    It seems connectivity has worsened during double XP when logic argues due to an increase in player numbers. Now I understand the next TU doesn't even address the issue.

    2 million hits on this thread by peps wondering and hoping for improvement. Screw buffing this and nerfing that, fix the problem!

    When can we expect the next attempt at a lag compensation fix because this game is still completely ******* awful. I am still getting instakilled by 1 bullet to the foot while it takes me half a clip before I start to get a hit marker even with a 4 bar connection against other 4 bar connection people.

     

    It's almost like this game is predicting what it expects people to do and kills you even when you don't get shot. They seriously broke this ******* game and I am almost certain it is because of Elite. Of course they would never admit this but why the hell else would they be completely unable to fix this problem since Black Ops came out? There is no way they are going to get rid of their new cash cow until they completely whore out the franchise until it dies like they did with Guitar Hero.

     

    I am absolutely ******* done with COD and have completely lost all faith. I am sick of these ***** completely screwing over everybody who has supported them over the years just to make a few million extra. I am tired of beta testing your broken ******* games for you only to never have the game actually fixed.

     

    I truly hope that Respawn gets the rights to Modern Warfare because that is our only chance in hell of ever getting a working COD game again.

    There is an explanation. We know what has happened and we are going to resolve the issue. I'm sorry that I cannot explain further until I have attended a meeting with Activision early next week.

    GHANDI: can you answer or look into something...When a player is firing the Stryker really fast why when near your player why do frames skip? It happens a lot. Thanks

    The Striker puts out a lot of bullets if you fire it really fast. In certain situations when the host is over burdened all the many bullet traces are expensive. This is paticulalrly noticeable in Infected, for example, when a lot of Striker's are firing at the same time, not necessarily in your view. This is why we didn't buff the AA-12 which is full auto.

    Did you really say what I think you said? That the AA12 is intentionally a trash weapon and that you dont want people to use it? THEN WHY IS IT IN THE GAME?

    Ghandi, when can we expect TU 15 on PS3? According to Call of Duty: MW3 PC Patch 1.13 and PS3 1.15 Updates, the patch is already live, but I wasn't prompted to update yet as of now. I live in the US if that makes a difference.
