This is pretty funny. I guess we'll see how much support this will really gain if much at all.

Lets just hope they don't suck because of the other four, only one is what I would consider good, and all of them, except for Overwatch, frequently get voted down on map selection.

Playing through the campaign on this game one last time-- forgot how ridiculously over the top it is! After that I think I'm going to sell it back. I haven't played in more than a month and I really don't miss the game at all as I can always play black ops (which seems to be booming these days) when I get the cod kick.
One question, though, is there anyway to transfer my elite service to someone who might actually be able to use it?? I haven't even played the new maps save that one night I played with you guys on the new high rise/construction map. The only thing that made me keep my disc this long is the fact GameStop will only give me 30 bones for my elite edition! They say that the elite service doesn't matter and they treat it like a standard copy. I get that but still... Elite was such a colossal failure in my mind that I'm pissed I sprung for it and even more pissed that I'm still getting maps I'll never play!

That foundation map looks like sniper heaven. There's so many different angles to and places to set yourself up. I'm thinking dead silent pro is your friend.

The 2 times I played it, I don't think I got sniped once. I died every other way possible but not by a sniper! It's still early though, plenty of time to get sniped going forward.

So...played the new maps quite a bit.

I really like sanctuary, has a great aesthetic and well designed battlegrounds. There's a good variation of distances to engage from, and while I still haven't entirely wrapped my mind around the design...it just seems like a solid map overall. No gimmicks, just a good map.

Foundation is...meh. I don't care for long range maps like fuel and derail...and while this isn't THAT bad...it's just not my style. The factory setting is so drab and boring. Its got some verticality, but not excessively. I'll probably warm up to it a little bit once I get to know where the sniper nests are, but this map is SO dense. If you have a view of the middle it feels like you can get shot from anywhere.

So far I'm finding the DLC maps to be pretty high quality. I was pretty hard on all the maps in mw3 from the start, but they've almost all grown on me. They're just so much more complicated than mw2 or even blops maps that it took a long time to get the hang of them.

Kinda crazy that these maps came out of nowhere though. I guess they haven't figured out how to announce stuff without bowling.

Yeah I think these maps are good. I'll give them a good solid "B" grade. So far they are a bit on the "snipey" side, but nowhere near as bad as Black Box, which I think is the least fun map in the entire game due to the insane amount of people sniping.

I'll put these two maps at the top of the heap for the DLC drops so far, they are good.

Anyone know what the latest update did? I downloaded a 6mb update last night before I went on. Server disconnects seemed more abundant. Also lag was quite bad (for me anyways). Did they nerf any weapons? I am about to melt the DVD in my wood stove.

No kidding! I didn't realize new maps were coming out until the night before, when I was checking through my FB to answer some old messages.

I didn't even believe it myself when someone posted it here. I went right on elite as soon as I saw it and saw no mention of it anywhere.

On a side note, the elite app for 360 can play videos now. The map overviews videos are pretty neat, solid breakdowns, worth checking out to get a quick feel for what the new maps are about. Same guy who does the weapon videos, who genuinely knows what he's talking about. The written info and stat bars on elite and in game have no bearing on reality, but the videos are dead on.

It's my understanding that those updates are simply to add the store DLC purchase options into the game. As far as I can tell from searching online, no gameplay or game changes were made outside of that.

That's because Sanctuary had great inspiration, it is clearly a damn near copy of Metéora, Greece as seen in For Your Eyes Only with Roger Moore (my favorite Bond movie I might add). So yeah, I love this map!




I hate Foundation! It is right up there with Discovery, Fuel, and Shipment for worst maps ever.

That's because this thread is on life support. MW3 has probably generated the least interest in AVS/COD history given the activity here.

I'm still playing and enjoying it at times but to all those on my friends list my wife and I are packing for a move and have a lot going on so don't be offended if I ignore an invite. Lately when I get on I often will step away for a bit after a few matches to do stuff then come back. I should be free Sat night though if anyone would like to party up.

I'm with you on Fuel and Shipment, they were horrid, but Discovery was a damn good map and quite popular if I remember correctly. I remember having some 30 kill matches there. If we're going to list ****** maps, ya gotta throw the abortion that is Liberation in there. Ya can't see anything, 75% of the lobby snipes, if you stick your head out, ya get shot, camping galore in the creekbed area, easy to get spawn trapped, etc, etc, etc. It's the worst of the worst as far as I'm concerned.

What can I say, I guess I'm a strange fig I kinda like Liberation, it's not anything special but it is probably the only map I snipe on consistently. Discovery looked really cool, reminded me of The Thing (1982) but it did not play well for my style for some reason. I'm just an average run and gun guy but the matches almost never flowed favorably for me on that map. I did best when I ran the G11 and Ghost but still.

I want a map like this

I loved me some Discovery. I'd quite often get 50 kills or more on that map. All I ever played was HCCTF and there were a few areas that you could do some real damage on (building on cave side in front of flag upstairs).

These things don't mean squat. I have alot of lag. Like someone comes around the corner, I fire at least 10 rapid fire shots and they stab me lag. Watch the kill cam and I get about 1-2 shots off before they stab me lag.

Agreed. These numbers don't mean squat to anyone but the people connected to you. A better connection, in theory, means a better chance at host which means a better chance at getting bent over the counter and eff'd roughly by the lag comp gorilla. Personally, I start downloading pron before every cod session just to thoroughly destroy my connection and insure I'm the winner of the 'IW hates good Internet' sweepstakes.

I don't experience much lag until...

A. My son signs on.
B. My cousin or nephew invite me to a game and party

Before A and B happen I get 20+ kills with 1.50 or higher k/d. As soon as we party up or my son gets on its barely 1.00 k/d. it drives me crazy cause they all think I suck.
