I played s&d on cod4 and mw2 but on this game it's impossible all my team mates are kids just fannying about rubbish

MW3 is impossible by yourself. Ive gone back to COD4 and MW2 when playing by myself. Only time i play MW3 is when i have a party or a Clan Op is on.

Me & my buddy will have to carry teams all the time.  It seems when the game decides to team us up in the lobby, it almost always chooses us to be with the more crappy players.  The people who obviously haven't played the game a lot, still level 0/59 or whatever.  I think it does this on purpose though, because it happens all the time.  Like it pairs up the best with the worst and then the kids that are kind of in the middle all get paired together and even though they aren't very good, you'll still end up loosing due to being put on a bad team. 

Best way is to solve it is to run with a full party.  If not, you simply have to put up with the matchmaking and make sure in the end you go positive. 

Agreed man. I find that whenever I'm put into a lobby, there's always a lot of good players and some bad ones. For example, there could be me, a 5th prestiger, 5 15th prestigers, 3 2nd prestigers and some level 30 noobs. The team balancing is almost always stupid, they put like all 5 15th prestigers in the same team and I'm paired up with the level 30's or a couple of 2nd prestigers. If it's not that, there could be a few high prestigers on the enemy team and a few high on ours, but how come the ones on our team are always the worst? For example, the ones on the enemy team will go like 30-2 every game whereas the ones you get stuck with get like 10-10 every game and don't play the

objective. Maybe a more advanced way of picking the teams would be more effective, as at random it's pretty dumb most of the time. Maybe by looking at the player's k/d's and making balanced teams or something, not just shoving all the best onto one team and letting the rest of the players go on the other team. I understand sometimes there are parties of good players which all get put on the same team but still, even when they aren't in a party almost always it's the pro's vs. the not so good players. It was so frustrating trying to earn that ninja head emblem for winning 15 Hardcore TDM's when every game I seemed to get into my teammates were just sitting in corners and getting negative KD's all the time. It's not always like this but often it is. Maybe if I.W put together a better way of selecting teams rather than making it just random, it could be better.

I wont play unless I get at least 4 or 5 friends on. Otherwise I use a diff acct and mess around in the elite playlist learning the maps or playing FFA. Sometimes going solo is the best way to find new friends tho. I have picked up a few good players this way, now we play together more often than not

I hate when that happpens though I've also been one of the crappy teammates though.  Usually if I'm having a bad day or if the lag is horrendous.  I always feel bad for the top guy who has a decent K/D and the rest of the team (including myself) is garbage.  I usually go positive too but sometimes...some lobbies...there just isn't much you can do about it. 

People who suck should get an own playlist, they can play as well.

With suck I mean well below average stats Minus 0.75 kds and Low spms. Give them an own playlist. Together with splitscreeners. Having these players on your team is a nightmare and them playing experienced and good players isn't fun either. I mean going minus 20, 30, 40 constantly can't be fun. So yeah, add a boot camp playlist for low levels and people who suck mega donkey co-ck.

I do try to win the games with these people occasionally, you are basically forced to run blind eye and uav / ballistic vest setup to stand a chance.

If it was up to me I would disable split screening

I always seem to come across the worst teammates. The ones who go 3-20 and feed the enemies killstreaks, the idiots who block doorways by going prone in them or the douchebags who spend the entire match attempting to trickshot

Idk why but for whatever reason I never seem to have positive experiences with randoms. I've run into a handful of solid randoms, but more often then not they frustrate me so much. General incompetence aggravates me more than anything, and 80% of the randoms I get on my team all suffer from that

Yeah this is definitely true, especially with all these clans/ parties making games so one-sided
