    Which one's giving you trouble? The final mission?



    Also, what advantage does holographic have over Red Dot? Because I'm not seeing any advantages, and the Holographic sticks up really far, its kind of distracting.

    That's exactly why I don't use the holo, Skull. It takes up too much room on the screen. I either stick to the standard red-dot or just go iron-sights.

    Ah, ok. So there's no added benefit, just a big ol hunk of plastic to plop ontop of your gun.

    Silly thing.

    For whatever fucking reason they gave the holo like a 1.5 zoom which is really annoying. Unless your using a 3x FTS or 5 or 8 on a FTS mount there should be no zoom from a EO or Aimpoint.

    Speaking of that where the fuck is my Aimpoint IW? You can go ahead and brand the Holo with the EOtech name but you can't use an Aimpoint model or even a Trijicon?

    Fucking SRS would have been the perfect RDS for MW3 and they could have collected a nice bit of cash for using it in game and hyping it up for Trijicon...Its not like they didn't use the RMR for MW2 so I don't think it would have been all that hard to get ahold of a beta-SRS for modeling.

    EDIT:
    Aimpoint, Trijicon, EOtech

    So I just played a couple of rounds of team defender with Magell. The final killcam of the last game was 4 pubbies running directly at an assault drone. There was not enough facedeskheadpalmWTF.

    I died in that killcam as well, but I learned something important EMP grenades are not as effective against a robot as I had anticipated. Granted I could have missed the threat of being machine gunned might have hurt my aim. This feels like a thing I need to test sometime. Especially considering the fact that I put EMP grenades on a class for that specific result.

    EMP nades only damage Wall-e they don't instakill it. Stupid as hell as I think it should at the very least lock it up for 5 seconds or so.

    Also, know what's awesome? Banking an EMP nade off a wall and back in your face. I'm so horrible sometimes...

    Yeah, I watched that replay too. It must be some sort of lag thing. It just turns 30 degrees in a random direction for no reason.

    Well, Striker is pretty decent. In a sense that you can actually kill with it.

    Also, that gameplay is entirely unimpressive. I bet if, when I saw dudes on the radar rushing my position, I set up instead of rushing to meet them, I'd die less. But where's the fun in that? I still love those two triples in the first 30 seconds of the game though. That's good times.

    It's just something theater mode does. It's not like the previous CoD game had a theater mode that was way better.

    The game's longer than 15 minutes, unfortunately, so I can't upload it in full to YouTube. If you're familiar with my strategy from the 118-6 video, you're not missing out on much; it's pretty much the exact same thing, only better. By the way: the difference between 118 kills and 257? Gunship instead of Attack Dogs, pretty much.

    Apparently Treyfinity... Whatever, forgot to do prestige in their scoring system overview, as of now, I apparently have gotten 126000 points per match, alrighty then. (It resets your matches, but not your points/kills, so the "Average" per match is going to be bonkers.)

    Quickscoping is getting pretty obnoxious in my opinion, if shotguns has to be shit, maybe sniper rifles should have auto aim turned off and ofcourse Assault Rifles should have more recoil to balance it out, maybe lowered damage too? Same for SMG's.

    EDIT: I never use Shotguns, so it's not supposed to be a "MAKE MY WEAPON BETTER" statement at all, I just think the current balancing is way off in some areas
    I've never been killed by any shotguns other than the Striker, yesterday a guy shot me point blank 3 times with a SPAS I think, and I just turned around and killed him, that is bullshit.

    Stop using shotties and use a SMG. Same close range flavor but with actual killing of mans. This is not directed at any one person. Just in general.
