Yeah that pic shows how much harder it is to see someone using CB.

Well we agree on the wording at least.

Take it from the guy with lots of Thermal experience

Ok, James get your arse on here and defend this thermal shit.

[OzballO]

I'm not saying it's impossible to see them, just your thoughts on how it works seems illogical to me.

[Skuh]

ok, to me a counter (in the mw2 sense, backed up by what they say thermal is supposed to do)is not something that makes it 'normal'. In this case the counter should make it harder to see than if you were not using thermal. So it should be harder to see a guy with CB through thermal than it is to see a guy without cb through a normal scope. If it isn't this way thermal has no downside to spotting people.

same spot as thermal taken at same time but with acog. I honestly don't see much difference. Maybe my eyesight is just awesome.

[OzballO]

Ok if you are talking about a pure counter then yes I understand your point. I'm just saying that in many points it is much harder to see a guy running cb with a thermal than regular.

um. OK..... I'm happy to defend thermal in principle. The advantage of thermal is that it makes people easier to spot against the background. CB counters this by taking away the highlight effect, reducing the scope back to normal conditions. That seems pretty fair to me, it's not as if it's the only thing CB does, it's more of an extra.
Certainly if thermal gets as much use in MW3 as IR does in Blops we're not even going to need to discuss the balance, no one will use it.

5FWD - Modern Warfare 3 Hardened Edition on its way by The Gadget Show

An artbook? What the hell. the hell with that.

Yes, CoD Classic is CoD1. I had it on PS3 before my hard drive was corrupted, and cba to redownload anything.

And yeah, MW2 came with an artbook too iirc

[Jomick]

Month and a half bump.

I think the OP can be updated a significant amount with recently released information.

[Platy]

Done.

[Skuh]

Only just read the perk list.

I can't believe how much of a fuss bowling made at the xp conference saying how they had listened to the community and they have done what they asked and now you can no longer have a shotgun as a secondary. He stood there basking in the glory as the crowd cheered it. Then they introduce a perk that allows you to have a shotgun as a secondary.

Well you could do the same in CoD4 and WaW, but you had to sacrifice a 2nd tier perk for it to happen.

In MW2 you could have a shotgun and still have SP for example.

And let's say you're sniping in MW3. If you don't want to use a pistol or machine pistol, would you rather have a gun that's OHK face to face or an automatic gun that could be effective at any range?

In those two games I always Overkilled an SMG if I used Overkill.

[Skuh]

Wasn't saying I agree or disagree with the shotty as a secondary. I prefer it not to be but it really isn't a deal breaker for me. My point was he made a massive song and dance about how you couldn't have a shotty as a secondary. He paused and stood there smiling while the crowd cheered him and the decision to remove that feature. After all that it turns out you can have a shotty as a secondaary.

As I said, at the expense of not having a more useful perk.

Yes, but that still means what he said and stood there receiving the adulation for was bllx

True, true.

Well you can't please everyone.

It's not about pleasing. It's about saying something to curry favour with the public when it isn't true. Im not slagging Mw3 off for this. It really isn't a big deal for me if they have this. Not because I am not getting it but because even if I was this still wouldn't be a big deal for me. The overkill perk or even if they left shotguns as secondaries full time. just not a game breaker in my eyes. I was just pointing out the fuss Bowling made of this. I am I suppose slagging bowling off.
anyway. I'll stop now

I love the fact I didn't grasp what you meant till just now

[pantstofry]

This is why I'm kind of done with CoD... this to me is kind of like a flat out lie. It's like a salesman sneaking in some shit after the deal's been made, or banks and hidden charges.

It's just really dumb, but obviously little kids can't see through that so he'll be fine.
