Anybody playing on Xbox?
Game is pretty cool so far. Mostly playing special ops missions and survival waves to get used to the game. Haven't yet tried multiplayer or the campaign.

I'm in. 8) ............on PS3. Sorry.
I'd love to see a thread about who likes MW3 compared to BF3. That should start a flame war. :lol:
Neat stuff. pew pew.

I still haven't tried BF3 yet...too many games and not enough time.
Let's see, there is Forza 4, MW3, BF3, and Batman Arkham City - all released in the last month!! On top of that, I still have games like Portal 2 and others I haven't gotten to.
Wish I had these things in college when I had loads of free time. :wink:

You mean playing "Pong" on "Intellivision"? :lol:
The difference between MW and BF is vast.
If you like to run and gun, then MW (CoD) is your bag.
If you like strategy and teamwork, then BF is your bag.
(of course both of those a sweeping generalizations, to a certain extent, but not too far from the truth)
I was a CoD fanboy for a several years, until I played my first BF, which happened to be the newest release of BF3 a couple weeks ago. The shear vastness of BF was lost on this little ol boy.
It's....so....much.....bigger...... Trust me.
Maybe rent it for a weekend?

Bob,
While my kids think I am old...college for me was the original version of Xbox...junior high was Colleeco Vision and Intellivision was a little before that. :green:
I have all the games I mentioned, so no need to rent, just have to find the time.
I can switch between Forza and one of the FPS games (which is MW3 for now), but I don't like playing multiple FPS games at the same time.

Hmm...I can see that. For sure. :thumb:

I know just what you mean. I can do GT5 (racing like Forsa) and do a FPS in the same night without a problem.
But going from one FPS to another in the same night is a bit of a bitch.
This old(ish) mind can't "think" fast enough to adjust between the two. :?
But even though I suck at them all, they amuse me. And that's all that counts. :thumb:

Modern Warfare 3 makes me want to punch babies in the face.

I got to 15th prestige and a whole mess of golden guns. I was cleaning up pretty good. I ended up developing a nintendo thumb :thumb: because of it. Every morning its stuck in one spot and i have to crack it back but it clicks all day. It maybe some type of authritis. IDK, i had to quit xbox outright. Got MW3 and it looks great but leaving it for the kids. Might get it for the computer instead since the keyboard is not targeting my thumb like the xbox controllers do.
oh well.

Sorry to hear about that Lorne. I really enjoyed playing Black Ops with you.

I'm really digging MW3. IW did a good job balancing it out. My girlfriend and I like to take out our daily aggression on this game. Funny story. When we first got together she said how playing video games are a waste of time. She never had a problem with me playing them as I'm not a hardcore game, I like to play every once and awhile. One day she was watching me play MW2 and started to saying watch out for the guy in the window with a sense of ergency in her voice. I didn't think much about it until one day I came home from work and she was playing MW2. I said "I thought playing video games is a waste of time?" She looked at me and just smiled. I told her I know it's a waste of time but it's surely a fun way to waste time. She agreed enthusiastically. So I bought her a PS3 and MW2 and we played together often. She bought her and I a copy of MW3 for my birthday. She has gotten pretty darn good and smokes me in TDM occasionally. :lol:
Bob - What's your "go to" weapons selection?
-
I probably have 10-20 hours into the game now and overall I think it is pretty good.
Is it "better" than Black Ops? Not really.
I do like the new options for killstreaks. Since I don't generally kill lots of people in a row, choosing the support path and having my kills accumulate instead of getting reset each time I die allows for access to some cool items that I normally would never reach.
One thing I am not totally crazy about is the way weapons have experience points and that your weapon level determines what feature/functionality you have access to. You need to get fairly high up on each weapon before you get access to the cool stuff. :-( In Black Ops, it was all predicated on your overall level and money.

Was BO the first COD series game you purchased? I don't like the game engine Treyarch uses. It seems really primitive compared to IW's. Although, I REALLY like the Zombie sub-game. Treyarch nailed that one. It's very addictive. It's really comical how Activision is milking every last dollar out of the COD franchise. The Elite service is a complete waste of money, IMO. And the Doritos marketing is a riot. COD has definitely become a serious cash cow.
What are your favorite weapon, kill streak combos Mr. Zybar?
-
I just got it yesterday along with Batman AC, I have a whole boatload of shooters and was picking between BF3 and this, well I think I'm going to get BF3 also. This one is sharp and I have only one of the ones before it but the beta of BF3 looked better to me but at the urging of my boy I got this one-"it will be easier for you Dad". He plays 360 I play PS3 and I'll get both as I'm now officially getting hooked on these as my abilities to play them increases. I actually kill guys now....LOL!!!!!!
Batman--is incredible, and fun to play...in fact 4:30am last night even after just being discharged from the hospital--Drs. Orders!!!! :thumb:

I had played MW2 somewhat before Black Ops, but not a lot. I didn't really play the Zombie game in Black Ops, maybe I will have to try it.
Right now I have been using one the default light machine guns and either a machine pistol or launcher for my weapons. I need to play around with the assault rifles more and determine which is best for me. In Black Ops I was a big user of the Famas, Commando, M60, and AK74u.
As for killstreaks, I have mostly been using UAV, Counter UAV, SAM Turret, Recon Drone, Ballistic Vest, and Sentry. When I get a little better, I can start selecting some of the 18 kill choices like Juggernaut, EMP, etc...

I'm still new, new to being able to live long enough to enjoy these, you guys got any tips for me?? I have some questions, from a rookie so be nice.
1) I run out of ammo all the time, how do I change this?? Do I constantly swap out weapons??
2) How do you really step into a hand grenade throw?? I always throw them like 20 ft. I tried arching back and trying more arc, is that the best I can do??
3) Health? Do I heal over time?? I just seem to be hit a bunch then die and haven't seen health packs yet or health power-ups, am I looking for something that doesn't exist??

1) I run out of ammo all the time, how do I change this?? Do I constantly swap out weapons??
I rarely run out of ammo for guns (launchers are a different story) - what weapons are you using? You can either use the Scavenger perk to replenish your ammo, or grab guns that are lying around.
2) How do you really step into a hand grenade throw?? I always throw them like 20 ft. I tried arching back and trying more arc, is that the best I can do??
I believe that you can run/jump and throw for added distance (at least I could in Black Ops). How far are you hoping to throw the grenade?
3) Health? Do I heal over time?? I just seem to be hit a bunch then die and haven't seen health packs yet or health power-ups, am I looking for something that doesn't exist??
Yes, you heal over time (and rather quickly I may add). You know when you have been really beat up by the sound of your breathing and the screen changing. I am not aware of any health packs or power-ups. However, you can get items such as a Ballistic Vest or use Perks such as Blast Shield to limit or minimize damage.
Hang in there and keep playing. I know that sometimes it can be very frustrating to get killed quickly and constantly. Learning the maps and figuring out which weapons/perks/equipment work best for you will go a long way towards making you a better player.

Wow! Busy thread! :o
lemme see if I can catch up...
--nomeans - I love the story of the girl friend, that's great! :thumb:
If she's REAL interested, and a forum kinda gal....I've got a bunch of "girlfriends" that belong to a PS3 gaming clan that I play with sometimes.
Have her check out:
http://www.womenwithweaponsclan.net/index.php
Great bunch of ladies there, and they've even let me be a member. :lol:
I am a member of a male clan with a bunch of their husbands.
Regarding my "goto" weapons....Gee....It's been a bit since I played. I've been on a BF3 kick for a few days and somehow can't even recall what gun classes I have set up in MW3. :duh:
I'll get back to you on that one. But suffice it to say, there's about two weapons I stick with.
Ed, hell yea we have rookies. Regarding the couple hundred guys in my clan, I'm actually one of the worst players, but they still treat me like a rock star, and send me invites to what ever game I'm playing at the time. You're always welcome, just join me.
Speaking of which, "nomeans".....If you want, send me an invite: "KryptosPhantom".
Let me know if my list is full, I'm constantly having to "cut one", to have another friend.

I passed it on to my girlfriend. Thanks for the link. I consider myself very lucky to have a girlfriend who enjoys playing MW3. :singing: What's the forum you're apart of called? If you don't mind me asking. I will send you an invite when I get on today. My ID is toofarzong. I purchased BF3 when it first came out, I wasn't very impressed with the character movements. I wanted so badly to like it, but the game is much slower paced than MW3, so it was hard for me to get into it. It's like the guy is a 400# soldier, the movements are too realistic in my eyes. I like fast paced game play. The BF3 campaign was top notch though.

Sorry for the numerous posts, but I have a question regarding gaming headsets. I'm moving to San Francisco at the beginning of the year and will probably be moving into a smaller apt. So I will have to downsize and I want to keep the neighbors happy. Do any of you guys use a gaming headset? I was doing some research and found myself a little overwhelmed. I was thinking the Turtle Beach PX5, but have heard some cons about interference with routers and cell phones. I was wondering what, if any headsets you guys use and what you gentlemen think of them. Thanks guys.

BF3 is better than MW3 in my opinion.
Saints Row The Third is a hoot. Funny stuff, no slick, super slick graphics, just plain old funny characters with big attitude and normal game play....some nice very unique touches....I Like!!!!
Guys my PSN tag is guess: eclein

It's tongue in cheek, of course, but the only requirements are that you have to be over 23, and married. We don't give a ratsass about KDR, as long as you know how to be a good in game communicator and want to have fun. The clan is founded on a lack of desire to play with douchebags and 9 year old little boys that talk about what sexual acts they'd like our Mother to perform on them.
We're a great bunch of guys, and fantastic bunch of teamplayers.
Join on up.

Aahh.... :duh: That's the aggravating thing about my dudes. Their hard and fast rules have never been bent.
I gave them truckload of shit about Ed, trying to get him on (Ed didn't know until right now, when he reads this) that a guy that's twice their age, was married longer than some of them been alive, is in his fifties, but happens to be divorced now can't be in the clan?
WTF is wrong with that? :dunno:
I've fought tooth and nail on that one.
The whole point of those two rules was to keep the rif-raf kiddie drama bullshit out of the clan/game matches, but they don't get the point that a fifty year old gamer that was married for thirty years is the most "anti-bullshit" member we could ever ask for.
Arrrgh.....I can feel my blood pressure raising....
Although, once your'e a MAAN, you're always a MAAN. If you get a divorce, you're still in.
Just between you and me, if you want in, tell em you're married. That still goes for you too Ed. :wink:
Bob
-
I put that I was on the app so we'll see...I knew that would trip these guys up, Thanks Bob, should I persevere or let it die???
oh, last night I took a rpg I think? and blew up a building as part of a mission and it shocked me that it seemed so real and I had so much power. Very odd feeling afterward like, wow, thats what its like? Gave me a whole new respect for our men and women in uniform!!
-
Ed, I saw you filled out the form thingy, but you need to copy and paste it in the new members section here: http://www.maanclan.com/viewforum.php?f=215
That's the "welcome area" where all the guys say hi and all that crap. You've joined on the forum, but nobody will see you until you post your "hi, look at me" post. :D
Bob
-
Cool...thats why I waited until I heard from you whats next, don't wanna be a 53 yr old divorced dumb shit!!!, I mean married.....er..um,ah.....
-
so yea...... sign up! :whip: :eyebrows:
-
Thanks for the invite Bob. However, unlike eclein I've never been married. I'm not about to lie to justify me joining a clan. I do appreciate the offer though. Thanks. :thumb:
-
nomeans I think I may stay back also....I have fun, scheduled fun is never really fun to me. I love racing with Bob and his son and I'd play with you guys any time and it would be fun because I think we are all rookies and laughter is what I seek. So not 100% sure yet but I may just chill....
-
Well Damn.... :cry:
Alright, I understand.
nomeans, that doesn't mean you can't send an invite. I'd like that. Chances are, if we get together during a match, you'll see "MAAN" in the clan tags. If you (or Ed) are vocal and helpful during the game, the MAANguys may send you a friend request. Hell, you be a buddy of MAAN.....
Anyway, we can game together without the clan. It's all good. :thumb:
Bob
-
Now that's something I would enjoy to do guys! Hopefully see you guys soon. :thumb:
-
Mr. Bob - So apparently I had some issues trying to play with you and your son. I couldn't hear you. I tried to play 1 game with you and was so confused. :oops: I didn't even know how to switch classes. :duh: I would be worthless teammate in BF3. However, I would love to play some MW3 with you and your son. :thumb:
-
No worries dude. BF3 is so massive in every way, that's it's very hard to just ...... play......
There's a bit more going on, and a much steeper learning curve than MW/CoD.
Not sure what was up with the mics though, that was weird. :scratch:
We've got two copies of BF3, but only one of MW3.
But sure, I'll do some MW3 with you. :thumb:

I agree with you regarding the complexity of BF3. And well, a moderately trained, caffeinated monkey could hop right on in an MW3 match and get a couple kills. Maybe that's why I do so well. :o Now where did I put those darn cymbals? I'll work on my BF3 skills (lack of, that is) this week so I can do more than just walk around and look at all the purtty bullets whizz through my forehead.

Has anybody else come across this when they're playing? This happens to me at least three or four times a week. I'm worried that it might have damaged my tweeters. Very painful. VOLUME WARNING!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BstrSZBqS1E&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Can anyone give me advice on a way to determine wether or not my tweeters are damaged? I'm starting to hear some distortion when an explosion occurs in the game. :banghead:
-
I can't hear the video here at work, but I've never heard anything that concerned me regarding damage to the drivers.
Hope it turns out to be something quick, easy, and cheap. :?

Wow. I guess I'm the only loser who plays this silly game. :oops:
I play it all the time...but on the Xbox.
This week I played a little Black Ops with one of my boys and I have to say it wasn't as good as MW3. The changes in MW3 that I didn't think were that big a deal turned out to have a more positive impact than I originally thought.
