MW3 Patches and Hot Fixes Notes

[COOLBREEZE 021]

Nice to see that they are fixing or trying to fix the weapons in this game. Now maybe the rest of us will have a fair chance of winning a one on one fight. Now they need to fix the fact that you cant knife with 2 weapons in your hand. Also would like to see them do something like making someone that camps die(like explode) and the credit goes to the opposing team.

If you sit in one place for too long you anger the gods and they smite you with lightning haha.. really though i don't see much of a problem with the weapons but that's just my opinion there are far more pressing issues in the game than the possible weapon imbalances and after these nerfs what's going to be the next op weapon that people are going to ask to be nerfed? pretty soon we will all be shooting airsoft guns.. but that is just my 2c haha

Why don't they just ditch the lag compensation altogether already!!!

That would take care of all the lag issues for me!

Why do they care about nerfing weapons that people use succesfully and let people Quickscope??????

Sounds like the Quickscopers are getting killed by people using the Type 95. and why not? That is what I've been using whenever I'm in a game with someone Quickscoping, guess the Quickscopers have more of a say in the gameplay then the rest of us!

Total Bullshit.

For those of us who are not fortunate enough to be blessed with even mediocre internet speed it seems the updates are slowly for me taking this back to BLOPS state. The latest update has made the game extremly frustrating to play, because by the time you seen someone your already dead, getting shot around corners and firning seemingly cottonwool bullets. Also a launch there was minimal players from eurpoe and USA now it seems they are slowly coming into UK games, why? I cannot have a stand up gun fight as I have little or no chance of winning and spend most of the time creeping around as not to get seen. I had really high hopes for this game and my love for the game dwindles each night. Maybe they should look at grouping players with slow internet in a game together at least that way only one player get the advantage as host.

Okay is this Hardcore Ricochet going to be S&D like before or will this include other play types.

Just ditch the lag comp completely already, all the other fixes are secondary to the enjoyment of the game!

Sick of leaving the lobby every time I become the host! Getting rid of lag comp would make the game a million times more enjoyable for me and everybody else with a decent internet connection.
