MW3 tips!

[Flipip]

Well i am by no means an expert but there are a few things you can try out, they might help you, they might not but hey ho. These are just off the top of my head so i apologise if they are not too good:

1. Experiment
The ability to create a class allows for a lot of flexibility when used correctly and it is important to exploit this for a few reasons. There are several different ways to play CoD, whether you want to focus on speed and running and gunning, stealth, or all out firepower, the chances are you can find a way to create a class that suits your play style. I would recommend that once you have found your preferred play style that you make some variations that a geared towards you. For example, I like to keep moving in CoD so i have three classes that are geared towards quick movement around the map, but each has a variation that means it is suitable for different situations, one is based on remaining undetected for example. I then use the fourth as a general purpose class with no fixed specialisation and the fifth varies but recently it has been based on firepower. I am constantly changing and tweaking different parts of each class from weapons and perks to killstreaks to try out new things and to see if i can improve the class. Now i am rambling so i shall move one.

2. Learn the maps
It is important to get an idea of what to expect on each map. Each map tends to be designed with a certain type of battle in mind such as long, medium or short range. There might even be maps with a mixture. Furthermore, each map has 'high traffic' areas where most of the player activity will take place. Once you get an idea of where these areas are on the maps you can exploit this information by avoiding these areas or setting up traps, flanking etc. Now i am not saying that you should sit down and study printouts of the maps (unless you want to) but you should learn about the maps just by playing them. The high traffic areas will become apparent based on the amount of fighting and kills/deaths you get in certain areas on the maps. It might take a while but you should learn all you need to learn based on your experiences. If you get a good enough knowledge you will even be able to predict other players movements reasonably well. I remember on Black Ops, i was able to get a few early kills based solely on my knowledge of the map and what players would do in the opening minute etc. Furthermore, this knowledge could save you a few deaths at times as you might be able to outmanoeuvre attacking enemies etc.

3. Play smart but have fun

Hopefully some of these helped you out but for all i know they could be non-sensical ramblings. Anyway, If you ever want a game just send me a message

P90s for everyone!
Add a Silencer, Kick. Slight of Hand, Hardline and Steady Aim and I run around blasting everyone in the face from the hip.

Much fun.

UMP 45 >>> All other weapons.

third perks do a lot in MW3 and it's difficult to choose. I Use Stalker or dead silence
Use Specialist or assault pointstreaks
use the:
type 95
M16A4
ACR 6.8
PPM101 (whatever that SMG's name is)
UMP45
(most over powered guns, you're definintely better off using one of these guns)

Sleight of hand or scavenger
assassin (for assault killstreaks)
Hardline (for specialist) for your first pointstreak perk reward put on assassin that way it's only one kill to get assassin (or 2 assists if you have hardline pro)

The Barrett is your friend if you like sniping.

 

[Smithburg]

Basically I do everything to up my firing and maneuverability speed, so I generally use Stalker pro, sleight of hand pro and quickdraw pro, it makes a major difference when you can quickly recover from things like throwing tactical and offensive grenades, switching weapons and faster moving with aiming. I also generally use tac inserts and claymores, tac inserts let you bypass the terrible spawn system so you dont get spawn killed so much, just place it somewhere out of the field of vision, and claymores are great for that random kill, and they also click if someone triggers it and it doesnt explode, so you know someone just ran by it so you know to head that way or turn it around if your using it like a rear guard. If your using fake care packages, throw them at the same place that an enemy care package gets called in, other enemies wont know which one it is and blow themselves up. and they can also be used as a sniper lure, throw one out and head shot everyone who goes for it. EMP's are great for calling in right when the enemy calls in something good like an AC-130 or a Osprey Drop.

Any submachine gun has rapid fire which can make a major difference in game, also dont put silencers on sniper rifles unless your really good at head shots as they reduce your one shot kill capacity.

There are all sorts of things you can do just work at it.

2. sensitivity: keep it 2-4 this is what MLG players use as a low sensitivity allows you to be more accurate especially over long range and lead to you winning more gun fights

On the other hand high sensitivity; once you get used to it, can let you react really fast to things.

 

[WaysideMaze]

what works for me?

The P90 is my best friend. When used with steady aim I can just run around spraying at the first person I see without bothering to aim down my sights. Works surprisingly well at medium distances as well as up close.
Marathon works quite well allowing you to keep as mobile as possible, maybe swap it for scavenger, but the P90 has plenty of ammo anyway, so I trend not to bother with it.
Your red perk? Assassin can be good, but unless i'm using a suppressor I stick with the blast shield type one (can't remember its name) since once once its pro its helps negate flash and stun as well.
Rapid fire or extended mags are both good choices, as well add more stability.
support kill streak with counter uav, advanced uav and emp, to immobilise your opponent whilst still knowing their location.

hope some of this helps

Well, for starters they've really reduced the amount of viable playstyles available. In MW3 you could go Marathon-Lightweight-Commando and go knife everyone, you could get Danger Close and tube everyone to hell, etc. But now pretty much the only thing you can do is walk around with the AR/SMG of your choice, maybe even a shotgun sometimes.
In terms of ARs ACR is a good choice, MK14 is like a rapid-firing sniper rifle - it's very accurate but single fire.
MP7 is the only SMG anyone uses once they unlock it.
If you've ever used SPAS in MW2 and enjoyed getting one-shot kills form across the map(like I did) you're in for a big disappointment because they nerfed the SPAS to no end. Now the Striker is pretty much the only useful shotgun.
For secondaries, FMGs are the best, especially akimbo, but because they are the best, they are generally considered the cheapest weapon in the game, so get ready for people getting butthurt if you use them.

 

[Fijiman]

The Type 95, as the only other three-burst fire weapon, is a brilliant gun for killing people at range without difficulty and it's also pretty awesome at close range. The downside is it makes you a ****.

Don't forget FMG9 akimbo.(using it is only excusable when you are just starting out) You will be able to tear though you're opponents, but you will instantly be labeled as a giant bastard with no real skill. The Striker and PP90 could also be put in that category, but I haven't sworn to never use them like I have the Type 95 and FMG9.

My suggestion is to try out the different guns with different loadouts until you find what works best for you.

One I like doing though is setting up different classes for different jobs. For example, my heavy class is equipped with an LMG(most of which I suggest throwing a grip on) and rocket launcher, add Blind Eye Pro and you've got instant rapeage of the enemy's air support. For my CQC class I always have a shotgun and I usually have the overkill perk on so that I can also tote an SMG around for when I get caught at medium to long range. I also suggest the scavenger perk on any class using most of the shotguns or SMGs because you will run out of ammo faster than you think.

 

[Smithburg]

on MW3 the guns kill so fast you just die before you can respond unless the other guy is really terrible, MLG players use 2-4 for a reason, you will get much more use out of being able to easily pick someone off on the other side of the map (I know this can be done on high sensitivity but its harder) than being able to turn on someone quickly (unless you rush constantly, which is inadvisable for new/bad players anyway)

the high sensitivity stuff comes from snipers like hutch and from halo players but its bad advice and really hurts new/bad players trying to play on 10 sensitivity, that guy who you play with/against who can barely shoot anything? id bet money hes running a high sensitivity

You make a good point, I do tend to rush constantly with short range weapons, and generally stay scoped in and take careful shots with snipers, and thats pretty much all I use.

I'll have to try it at a lower sensitivity

Thanks everyone for the tips, although I'm still baffled as to how "playing another game" is a good tip in getting better at MW3.

The P90 was my fav weapon in CoD MW2, I don't think I have it unlocked in MW3 though

Right, I'm playing it now, with all the tips you guys have given me... here we go

 

[Ilikemilkshake]

1. Play something else (HOHOHOHO so original)
2. Most definitely don't play on PC (*starts having flashbacks to all the hacked games*)
3. Play Kill confirmed because it's better than TDM

 

[Fidelias]

As someone who has played all of the Call of Duty games, including the modern ones, yes, Modern Warfare 3 is almost EXACTLY like Modern Warfare 2.

Tips and tricks: Grab a weapon and shoot. Keep doing this until your reaction time becomes ungodly. Profit.

I play as a sneaky type. I forget the perks, but the ones that make you invisible on radar and heartbeat sensors plus the dead silence perk.
I use an MP5 silenced and go on killing sprees.

Edit: Oh, and I also use the support killstreaks with UAV, Counter UAV, and SAM. That way I'll usually get through all three kill streaks at least once in a match, usually use UAV and Counter UAV twice.

You pick the weapon of your choice, point it at the nearest squishy lifeform with red text above their head and hold down the trigger until they stop moving.
