      How does it ruin other games? If u don’t like it ..don’t play it.. nobody will force u to buy cod games

      Yeah it does suck horribly. The only ones who will defend it are little kids and no brain adults who don’t know or care the first thing about combat or guns. It’s not even challenging for the people who exploit the game. Want a real challenge? Play battlefield, or warfighter. Or even counterstrike. Game on.

        once again.. if u are a fan of those games then play them.. im not gonna bash on u for liking a different type of game.. dont try to sum it up that everyone that plays mw3 is a child or unintelligent .. mw3 is a different genre game than battlefield .. its like comparing apples to oranges.. both games are first person shooters but mw3 is purposely set up to force action.. ex. kill cams, killstreaks etc.

      @FTI you’re fucking retarded, the dragonuv was unusable before, and no one uses it anyways so the buff basically adds a usable gun into the game.
      Also, PP90M1 OP? Again, you’re fucking retarded, that shit takes 6 bullets to kill beyond 30 yards. MP7 is also very weak, although accurate, taking 5 shots to kill beyond 20 yards. ACR is accurate, but fires to slowly to be considered ‘OP’; it’s just a good gun. M4A1 kills faster than ACR, and I prefer M4A1 over ACR.

    They should patch the model 1887 in a way to correct its wild inconsistency. Three shot kill, up close, with a shotgun? At least its a good warning to the opponent that I am there, I am shooting at him, and where I am at so he can turn around and kill me, ONE shot, with a sniper rifle……UP CLOSE! WAY TO GO! Always a good time!

      i agree with you and also they need to make a patch to bring back the dual wield Model 1887 and also to take off the damn 2Atatchment proficiency…you cant even put attachments on the damn thing!!!!

    Am I the only one that downloaded the patch but had their elite content deleted. It would download again but it still says it is not there. Any help?

      i´ve had the same problem. make sure that you download ALL available elite content, including specop missions. then it should be working.

    Yeah, as soon as I got the update. It told me that I had no DLC, so I went and checked the memory. It showed that I had it. So I deleted it off my hard drive. Then went to re install DLC. Got it all except for Overwatch. Says I have Overwatch, even though I did not have it…

    They need to do something to fix matchmaking. I get really frustrated after about the 2nd hour of play and I’ve not been put in a room where I can get above the bottom 3 people in the whole room. I know I’m not great, but if matchmaking worked worth a crap I would occasionally get in a room where I can get more than 6 kills.

    The whole game though is geared towards a couple of top players just cream everyone else. Why else would they give you better ways of killing people when you’re kicking butt?

    I’d also like to see a game mode like mercenary where you don’t have to put up with random game modes. What’s with that? Just because I want to play with other random people means I can’t choose the game mode?

    There is no need to dile down any gun or any blast radius, if you ppl don’t like it then don’t play simple as that.,. We have all learned to play with the game the way it is so just leave it the way it is, the more you change it the more we don’t want to play.,. SO THE PPL AT COD THAT MAKE THESE CHANGES STOP WISTING YOUR TIME LEAVE IT BE.,.

    Personally Im glad the dragonuv was tweaked. The Call of duty franchise gets old after simply using just assault rifles and smgs I like looking at the bad guns and saying Ill use this and see how far I go, Maybe now it might make my job hopefully easier

    All this is fine..except when I had to re-download the Elite content. What I want to know is they say we fix all glitches..yet Quick-Scoping, which they admit is a glitch, continues to ruin the game. If you want to.have it make it a perk or just remove it.
