Technically, until they removed all of the following, you could counter spawn campers with a combination of skillful player advantage, the riot shield, your favorite pistol, flashes, the blast shield, and whatever perks. I always liked Scavenger (Since pistols are hardly effective, as well as down right conservative when it comes to spawning ammo.), Stopping Power (See above. Combine this with Akimbo and Steady Aim and you can go pistolero, with the more accurate pistols (Read: not the desert eagle. That doesn't need either perk, just the attachment, to be effective, really.).), and Ninja (Because if they can't hear me, I can get the drop on them if they're hiding 'round a corner.).Zac Smith said:
In fact, in my opinion, they need the riot shield back. Normal players could kill the users just fine, it was all of the griefers using the cheap sets that were complaining about it! For the most part, at least. It was the one tactical advantage that claimed victory over everything else that's cheap. Knifers, Glocks Akimbo, Shotguns, Quickscopers, Explosivos (When combined with Blast Shield, of course! Read: doesn't counter those who are hardcore noob enough to use Danger Close.), everything. Even just milder complaints, like overpowered SMGs, and campers, dead and gone.
That's every weapon in CoD - really, even the snipers. Point the crosshair at the mans and hold down the trigger until they fall down. Or if you're really MLG Legit, point the crosshair at the mans and burst-fire until they fall down.Monoochrom said:
A very valid point, I do have to agree with you on that, and I like everyone who isn't one of these annoying kids, hates these annoying kids. However, I don't agree that removing the 'crutches' altogether is not the way forward.Aprilgold said:
Instead of removing the aspects of a game that make it easier for new players to beat veteran players, such as yourself, the 'crutches' should be altered to allow for every aspect of a game to determine how well you play.
Not only should perks, guns and attachments determine how well you play, but other aspects of the game, such as the map layout, the way you move your character etc should have more of an impact into how well you play.
People who lie on the floor in the middle of a hallway to look like a corpse, or people who sit in the shadows of a busy room, shouldn't be the people who come out better off in a game like cod.
Quick scoping
Noob tubes
knifing
ALL must be removed.
knifing could become an optional primary weapon that takes two hits to make it fair and then like in halo reach stealth assassinations should be available for when you're sneaking up behind somebody.

Theres a mistake in your article. Infinity Ward doesn't work for Activision anymore and they're making a Scifi shooter next. The company your referring to is the Dead-Husk-Formerly-Known-As-Infinityward
Look at you like what? I just want there to be a 40k game not including space smurfs, I would settle for space marines as long as the divergent chapters get their due for being awesome.Sir Boss said:
*edit* btw, like the hello kitty marines?
Bayonettes imo. You want insta kill melee you have to replace one of your current weapon slots with the bayonette.teh_Canape said:
Sorry, what? Not everything is about you, you know. I have opinions, and I post them on a forum, which is theoretically what such things are for.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
Hey, I actually enjoy it when I make a kid rage in MW2 - it's funny. In this context, though, I was talking about kids who rage about CoD perks on forums.
Everything in CoD kills almost instantly. I remember getting basically the same result with the 50 Cal, Famas, UMP, RPD, or Raffica. It's easier for a player who's starting out to get kills with the noob tube, but once you reach a certain skill level you can easily get kills on anyone you have line-of-sight to with the vast majority of the primaries and a couple of the secondaries.
Fixed for you
You can do that with basically any explosive weapon in the game that has an arc. Comes with the whole tiny map territory.Beware noobs. Infinity ward is cracking down. Although i will miss the pro effects, its good to see this gone. Now all thats left is noob tubeing(really, if a kid is too much of a pussy to leave spawn, or try hards with tubes, they need to hang themselves), quick scopes(the only time when CAMPING is acceptable, you are supposed to zoom in at long distaces and hit the head), and one man army(infinite camping supplies, really?). If these are all taken out i need to change my tag from suicida1 to a f*ckin happy midget.
Wonderful, not only do you forget what you've said in your older posts, you then deny that you generalized everyone who uses the grenade launcher and then you bring out a very specific scenario to try and prove that.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
This is just, thank you, you've made my night. You people seriously make arguing on forums worth it.
They said they're taking out not only Commando, but Last Stand (and I assume Second Chance,) One Man Army, and some other perks.
Well that's good at least.
It was a serious balance issue (although I think the problem was more inherent to the knife than caused by commando)
It's a problem when one build is objectively better than all others. Sure, we could all sink to your level, go marathon, lightweight, commando/ninja and run around the map knifing eachother like retards, but that's not the game I wanted to play when I put an FPS in my console.
The reason people ***** about the build is because they want to play a shooter, not a knifing game. The fact that it isn't an exploit and technically a part of the game (albeit a part of the game that the developers didn't intend to be there) doesn't mean that you aren't ruining the experience for the rest of the players.

Does the Escapist really have to write a whole article about every single new update about every single change of MW3. Soon there will be a 3 page article thats titled "New Perk Added, allows more ammo in clip". No offense to MW3 or its fans but I really wish that the escapist would focus on more important stuff. Unless there is nothing more interesting than this, which i may understand.
I never had a problem with the knife in any CoD game. Primarily because I have a gun that shoots bullets and kills people. He has a knife.
I am so sick of hearing those words. Don't IW have any other people with the ability to communicate in English? Why is it always this guy?Logan Westbrook said:
