BEYOND BROKEN

BLOPS2 in November, cant wait. MW3 just gets worse and worse each day. From unplayable lag, insanely stupid spawning, frustrating matchmaking, unbalanced weapons, kill and deathstreak problems, boosting and players exploiting every weakness they can find...which isn't hard, this game is up for sale. Which is entirely dirty as I already paid freakin $110 between the game and Elite. Enjoy your overpaid holidays now IW. Release another title as problematic as this in the future, your fruits could be short lived.

 

Killstreaks---How can I get three care packages in one game and have them all be UAV's???????????? Killstreak, not support streak. Better yet, how can I get Juggernaut twice in one TDM via carepackages??????????????? Fun, but ridiculous.

 

Matchmaking----Can I please not be dumped in a match that is 5 kills away from being over????????????? Automatic loss...wow thanks. Two weeks ago, it took my party of four 30 minutes to find a game. Switched up party leaders and that didn't help either. Buh. That night we got in 5 games in two hours. We got to shoot the **** alot, meaning all we did was chat, not play the game.

 

Lag compensation---Unescapable reality of online gaming. Although this is beyond anything I've seen before. Frustrating to say the least when on the negative end, but I almost feel guilty when I'm on the positive side of LC, just dirty.

 

Gun balancing---Fact, people will always complain about what gun is overpowering what in any shooter. Between lag comp and poor gun balancing, at times you just dont stand a chance head to head. Do you at IW even play this game?? EVER????? Cant you guys see what is ridiculous and what isn't? Or even what's fair? Doesn't seem like it.

 

Spawning---Can you create a stat or an accolade titled "you died with no chance"? I love getting killed after taking five steps.....great! Once again another issue facing all online shooters, and once again not pleased with how MW3 handles it. Not everyone wants to be forced into using Tac Ins.

 

Camp heavy---Everyone has thier own play style, great. Even though I run and gun, I think camping to an extent is part of the any shooter. With that said I believe the levels in this game are nearly laughable, but more like frustrating. How about your next COD you seriously address it and discourage it even a little. Or create a game type called "Camp your ass off" where teams can just huck grenades and fire javelins at each other from some corner on opposite sides of the map. You can make the winning score be 2000. Booooooring.

 

I wont lie, at times I have enjoyed this game. Also you cant please everyone. But after six months, it seems it isnt worth my time anymore. Bottom line is, you as a company made millions upon millions since MW3's release. I think you should feel guilty, because we who made you all that dinero deserve better than this ****.

 

Have a nice day

    Re: BEYOND BROKEN

    Whaaa!!!! They did not make the game play the way I think it should play for it to be fun for me more than anyone else.

     

    That is about all your post read like.

     

    There will never be an online game that has good or near perfect gun balance. because there will always be someone(probably you) that will complain about dieing to a weapon that they felt they should not have died too in a a give situation.

     

    There will always be camping in games and no they will never do anything about it, there will never be a loose health or die system if you do not move like some people have suggested. So either learn to deal with campers or just keep crying about them.

     

    CP are a chance to get a random item, never did it say it only will give kill streaks kills. It is a random chance to get one not a gurantee ever. So stop assuming it should be.

     

    As long as there are people leaving matches for what ever reason leaving holes in lobbies people will get dropped in to them to try and keep the match even for those that are left. Stop caring so much about a stat in a game that means nothing once the game is turned off.

     

    And your biggest mistake was thinking that a company that is out to make money would ever feel sorry for the likes of you not enjoying the game every moment you played it. For as long as people continue to buy the game year after year, they will not ever have to change how they do it ever.

          you aren't crying but yet you want them to discourage camping... why?  Because it impedes on your playstyle of blindly run n gun?  How about you slow down a bit and perhaps more a bit more strategically instead of running like you just popped a bottle of ritalin

              You run and gun and YOU  want them to punish/discourage camping....  sounds like you do exactly as I say or else you wouldn't be crying about a camper now would you?  As for me, I know how to camp and I know how to run n gun... Considering that I've got well over 80 miles sprinted this prestige.. I'd say I'm not camping much,  But, please,  continue with your, panty twisted in your crotch, rant.

      Depends what you mean by balance, COD has a tradition of making a few hugely OP guns and the rest fairly well balanced.

      MW3 has the best balance of the lot because all the guns are just different skins on the same gun.

      For me COD id dead and with BF3 close quarters coming out next week there will be plenty of COD style action.

       

      RIP COD, it was great while it lasted, but inevitably you've lost your way!

      Nah, they do not have to care because they know with enough hype they will make record sales on the next game because of the problems that BO2 will have that people will not like. Each game feeds of the problems of the last. Everyone claims and thinks the next game will be better.

    Re: BEYOND BROKEN

    I cant qait for the next COD game because this one I cant play.

     

    Everytime I get killed someone is either modding or cheating.

     

    I cant get used to the killstreaks or weapons in this game.

     

    Its the companies fault because I wasted 110 dollars on a game that I didnt like.

     

    Boy I cant wait til the next COD game comes out because that one will not be buggy, will have nothing overpowered, will have no internet lag. And I know it for a fact because no COD game has ever gotten worse in history they have all gotten better.

     

    Except for Black Ops and MW2 and one or two others before this one. OK four games TOPS, maybe five games. A DEFINITE 6 games, lets just say that I have had issues with just the 7 games.

     

    ----------------------------------------------

     

     

    sounds like the OP ?

     

    If you are waiting for the next game to come out you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Its just like waiting for the next girlfreind to come out. It may be fine at first......

    Re: BEYOND BROKEN

    The only real issues I have with the game are lag comp, and the spawn system, and I'm not to thrilled of the advantege that people  with headsets get from sitrep pro now. All of these issues have only added to the amount of campers in the game. Now I never had any problems with campers, we all camp at some points. But I do have admit that it does seem like IW wanted to make MW3 a more camping friendly game. Just my 2-cents, besides CoD has not been good since MW2 came out.

    Re: BEYOND BROKEN

    You know the fact that you can't wait for BLOPS2 tells me your just part of the problem of why this game is so screwed up. You see Activi$ion knows that even if they put out broken unfinished game that people like YOU will be standing in line to feed their cash cow the next time they release one, and the time after that and the time after that...so why bother making great games when they can make shitty ones and sell them to millions of people like you?

     

    Now to touch up on each subject you mentioned

     

    Killstreaks- Sounds like you just dont like the way care package works maybe you should try one of the many other killstreaks if your not happy that the care package is RANDOM so you can very well get 10 UAVs in a row

     

    Matchmaking- Umm COD has always thrown people into loosing matches so what makes MW3 worse about it? but I will agree its BS how long it can take a full party to find a lobby

     

    Lag- yea nobody can argue there..yet your waiting for BLOPs2 even tho the lag compensation started going down hill in BLOPs1

     

    Gun balance- Although there are some BS weapons in MW3...what COD has had perfect gun balance? none

     

    Spawns- yea they are ****ed lol

     

    Camping- Again its been in every COD title why did you expect it to magically go away in MW3


    90% of your complaints are about stuff you should of known DAMN well would of been a part of MW3 and I hate to tell ya most of it will be a part of BLOPs2 in November so you better start preparing yourself

      Re: BEYOND BROKEN

      Word... Why would these scum change anything for BO2? Think about the cash they pulled - Think treyarch is going to design a game that isnt a $60 coaster like this pos? BL1 was just as bad - You want to stick it to these skids, stop buying their crap - force them to put out a product that delivers.

       

      Most of the complaints in this post - ie camping, op weapons - are just response to the poor map designs and the lag comp.. How many ppl are forced to camp bc they are a second behind and will lose every cokc-off they get into?

       

      Main Point is, the next cod will be no different from this one - decent at times, frustratingly unfair the majority.. F these scum - boycott them by every means posible - dont buy their crap, dont pay for extras (dlc, elite etc) and rent/read reviews before you buy. Eventually when they start losing money and AV stock price plummets, someone might actually care what the customers - gaming community - has to say.. We're the ones with the purchasing power.

    Re: BEYOND BROKEN

    Maybe if you stop taking the game so seriously it'll get better, rather than gapping open a tiny crack. Instead of whining about every little problem you have maybe try mixing it up a bit, like use different guns, perks, k/s. Try even changing your play style, if you're a run and gunner who goes for high kills low deaths try swapping to objective gameplay go for wins over k/d your gameplay experience should be a lot better from the convertion.

    Re: BEYOND BROKEN

    Ill have to say other than the apparent lag... the spawns are the worst thing I have ever seen in a FPS.

     

    When I die I like to watch the killcams to see how I died or where I died from so I can learn.  BUT... there is nothing to be done when 75% of my deaths stem from an enemy dying, then spawning less than 3 seconds (or 9 steps) from me; and most times this is death from the place I just walked past and no one was there.

     

    I guarantee that most deaths are due to this issue.  I dont even want to know how many times  a game, TDM most times, that I watch the killcam only to see another killcam during mine LOL.

     

    "Hey guys... I just spawned and walked 2 steps and killed a guy only to die from his teamate that just died and spawned where I did."  Lame.

     

    All I can say is superb work IW.

    Re: BEYOND BROKEN

    Here's my agree and disagree.

     

    1. killstreaks - disagree, anybody can get random packages, some are lucky, some are not, this is part of the game

    2. matchmaking - agree, still the worst in the COD series, max prestige 20th in the same lobby as a newbie 2nd rank or mixes of players with 0.3 kd and 2.5 kd., takes longer to find matches

    3. lag compensation - agree,for me this alone makes MW3 the shitiest COD ever

    4. gun balancing - disagree, there are better weapons than others but everything else depends on the player, i encounter mp7s all the time but i would still won with my p90

    5.spawning - agree, until now it is still fck, i actually think it got worse

    6. camp heavy - disagree, well, they are annoying but not as common, and i won't mind if they are newbies, campers do not get the most kills in the game, and if you encounter one, give him a piece of your mind, message him that he is nothing but a pu sy camper, it will make him feel guilty.

        well, if you compare the camping in MW3 in all COD games, then yes, and i've encountered a lot of campers with golden guns, to say, that they've played this game that long and still camp. They can get the kill but they are dealt with after that or ill go slow, i don't like it, but proven effective because campers usually are not good enough.

        not sure what game you are playing but I've heard more people get called campers than any other game.. why you ask?....   It's really funny actually.   A sniper laying on the ground called my teammate a camper...my teammate was running the map and found him laying there... teabagged him and then knifed him..  teabagged and knifed him... and the sniper calls him the camper.  So in regards to this game.. you can be at a dead sprint.. you can do whatever you want and you are still going to be called a camper.. regardless of the fact that you may have never stopped in one single place the entire match.

    Look the need to fix the lag comp the matchmaking and the spawning, in that order. I have had every COD game since the first one way back on pc  remember? IW was formed by the guys that made MOH allied assault?  but this is by far the worse COD game ever I can deal with the camping and the deathstreaks but the lag and matchmaking are just terrible. I am on my 5th prestige but i think i will stop after this. one week things are great my K/D is 1.9 the next it is 0.9 have I got that bad in a week? I pay for good internet and all I ask is for a fair shot, too much?

    Re: BEYOND BROKEN

    Lag for me has been horrible and has just progressively gotten worse over the last 2 months for some reason. 

    And the matchmaking is horrible, takes forever, the matchups are bad.  I was almost going to vent and post but just do it here...the last 2 days I've gone 16-46 W/L(I've been taking note just because how awful its been).  2 things, isn't there a way to somehow, someway have better team mates/matchups and of course please stop dropping me in games that are over...the worst I've ever seen was just tonight(part of this great losing thing I've been on lately), I got dropped into a game that was 7300-400!!!  I mean, WTF.  There has got to be some kind of mercy rule, or something to prevent this. 

    And yes, spawns need to be fixed.  I think those 3 things(lag, matchmaking spawns) are fixable in future games. 

    Everything else is just players choice/style, the killstreaks are what they are, the camping sucks but that will happen in everygame.(Although MW3 maps promote it along with the horrible lag, so better maps may take away some camping)  Guns, again, they will always have differences and unfortunatley when players find the OP guns, they then become overused, which maybe is more of the problem.  It would be nice to see them find a way to challenge players to use different guns. 

    As much as I hate MW3, I play it because in the end I like FPS games, and like COD over Battlefield.  So I will buy BLOPS 2, it looks promising.  Loved BLOPS.

    what makes you think that blops2 won't have all the problems that mw3 had.  I dont trust IW or 2arc at all. COD peaked with MW1, everything since then has been downhill.

     

    This is what the industry calls saturation, it only gets worse from there. In their attempt to best cod4 they just make things worse, there is nothing else they can do to recapture the magic of cod4.

      It appears Sledgehammer Games will be working on another Call of Duty project in the near future according to a job listing on Gamasutra. The job post says, ” We are actively recruiting top talent for our Call of Duty development team.” The job post is for a Senior Online Engineer in Foster City, California. The post goes on to say “Sledgehammer Games is looking for an exceptional online engineer to help bring our online experience to a new level. The candidate will be involved in the creation of multiplayer game modes and online community features for an unannounced high-end console title.”

      No word yet if they are combining the efforts again with Infinity Ward for the next “Modern Warfare Game” in 2013 or if it’s for their original 3rd Person Call of Duty Project that was canceled when work was switched over to MW3. We’ll keep you posted once we hear anything new.

        ok so mw2 was clearly the best and then black ops came out and all the trash came out of the wood work with its release, then lag comp. i think blame all the problems on treyarch, the stated the horrible spawns and zero hit registration. also think lag comp stated with them. too just saying.

          Re: BEYOND BROKEN

          yeah, I see what ur saying. I had fun with mw2 and play right up until mw3. I stopped playing it when blops came out, but went back to mw2.

           

          as good as mw2 was, it had many flaws, all the glitches, remember the model 1887's, javelin glitch, lunging knife.

           

          cod4 was the best cos it was simple, no over powered kill streaks, the maps were good.

           

          maps have been good on every form except mw3 which has atrocious map design. The only thing good about mw3 is survival mode which is excellent.

           

          back on point, I think the mistake they have made trying to improve cod is by adding more and more. They need to keep things simple, we dont really need stupid kill streaks, just more modes and sub games like survival.

           

          they should improve survival, allow us to order the riot/delta team like in old ghost recon games, u should be able to choose the weapons and equipment for the team etc.

    MW3 just gets worse and worse each day. From unplayable lag, insanely stupid spawning, frustrating matchmaking, unbalanced weapons, kill and deathstreak problems, boosting and players exploiting every weakness they can find...which isn't hard, this game is up for sale.

    I just sent you a PM.  Click on 'My Account' and 'Profile' to view the messages you have.  I think this one will make your day.

    BLOPS2 in November, cant wait.

     

    That's part of the problem right there. The devs don't have to take responsibility for their product because they know everyone and their mother is going to buy it up just because it's CoD. If Black Ops 2 sucks, people will be like "Man, I can't wait till MW4."

     

    I personally am going to wait a while, maybe check the forums or rent it first. After all, this lag crap started in Black Ops, least for me. The first time I see that I'm clearly synced behind someone else, it's going back and I won't be buying.
