I think the weapon 'proficiencies' is a bit contrived, basically you just unlock effectively a new attachment every so often. Other than that, it does nothing. You don't really improve your weapon with more usage, you just unlock more attachments for it (in effect), as you can only use one at a time anyway.
Pawning?

Ok, you asked for it sookie..
First few hours I hated it, MUCH prefer (and still do) black ops. My (detailed) thoughts are below:
First few hours I hated it, MUCH prefer (and still do) black ops. My (detailed) thoughts are below:
- The unlock system is pretty gay. Especially the weapon proficiencies. Before the game came out, they were saying the more you use a weapon, the better it becomes. Thats bullshit. Effectively, all that happens is you unlock extra attachments. A proficiency is effectively just an attachment to the weapon, you can only have one at a time and it improves the weapon slightly in one way. Its not like the more you play, the less kick the weapon has. Just that you can CHOOSE whether you want less kick, or better range, or 2 attachments instead of 1 etc etc.
- Survival mode isn't that great, I think zombies was better. That said, it is still probably the only good thing about the game. Again though, rather than pay more money for better items, you just need to KEEP playing it to have access to better weapons. This is backwards, it should be so that the longer you last in a game, the more money you have, the better weapons you can buy. And the upgrades should actually UPGRADE the guns, not just be a red dot sight or underattachment.
- Perks are underpowered. Basically they don't do shit. This doesn't really matter per se, but I'm used to black ops where almost all the perks were attractive. Now its a choice between a douche and a turd. eg Ghost is now split into two perks, Sleight of Hand is now split into two perks, scavenger no longer replenishes grenades (which sucks as its pretty much the only useful first tier perk with the weakening in Sleight of Hand).
- I don't like the killstreak system. The decent assault killstreaks take WAY too many kills to get. Killstreaks chain, sure, but none of the lower level killstreaks seem to get you more than 1 or 2 kills (at least so far, in my experience). I've earnt the strafe run several times (9 kill streak), and it hasn't got me ONE kill yet!!! WTF. Even the attack helicopter has only scrapped up a few kills. The little bird guard is better, but has got me about 3 at best. The AC130 is nowhere near as good as the chopper gun, but requires 12 kills. I think I've gotten the most kills out of a sentry gun, but still not many. Basically, they have watered down the aggressive killstreaks, they are nowhere near as powerful as in black ops. Not to mention the inclusion of EMP which knocks out any killstreaks. Some particular killstreak gripes are below:
- Advanced UAV (12 kills). What a shit killstreak. It seems to be good at first, until you realise that assasin makes you immune to it. And once people level up, it is going to be a very popular perk. Not only that, but its not real time like the blackbird, it sweeps like a UAV. So basically, it is just a UAV, but with arrows (and it can't be shot down I guess). But for 12 kills?? Hardly worth it.
- Escort airdrop (18 kills). It takes a bit over a minute to drop the care packages, by which time the match is usually close to over. But the worst part, it CAN be shot down and an EMP can get rid of it entirely = waste of 18 kills.
So those are my thoughts. My K/D is pretty shit too, only about 1.7 or so. Without being able to rake in the kills with killstreaks, its far harder to do better. Plus most of the people playing have been pretty good I've found, not surprising I guess as all the huge CoD fans would be getting the game straight away and playing it heaps in the first few weeks.
Went back to black ops last night and first few games went 33-4 and 39-5 lol. I think I'll stick with black ops....

you're too picky, just enjoy the game lol.
what level were you at after you decided to return it? the higher i ranked up, the better weapons/perks i unlocked which made the game more enjoyable.
personally i see nothing wrong with the killstreak system, if anything it's better than black ops & mw2 because it makes you work for the killstreaks. i see the downside to the game though if you worry about your 'kill/death ratio'.. but in the end it's just a number
my favourite killstreak setup is the 'specialist' where you get extra perks as your killstreaks rise, after 8 killstreak you are a 'specialist' - you have every pro perk equipped and feel unstoppable.

About level 45 or something, I just wasn't enjoying it lol.
The straw that broke the camels back was two things - firstly I kept getting laggy games cos there was no option to select local games only or good connections. And secondly, it doesn't even let you watch theater mode in first person (other than your own). So if you want to see just how that person managed 20-3, you gotta watch it in 3rd person.
Some of these issues will probably be fixed in patches, but I just couldn't be bothered with it.
Black ops killstreaks were much more fun, nothing quite like having dogs on the ground and a chopper gunner in the air at the same time and getting 20+ kills over 30 seconds or so lol
Specialist seemed useless to me, as the perks are all pretty crappy. Its probably still better than anything else though.

I do enjoy the game as I said before but not as much as black ops. I find the kill streaks are over kill and the menu's suck. I am only around level 37 ish. The graphics arnt that great for a new game in comparison to bf3.
I have not played mw2 online which I heard was very similar. I guess, with more time, I will become adjusted to mw3. For me, it doesnt have that appeal which black ops has. I find that black ops was more tactical for some reason. Mw3 is more like rush rush rush with ump45. Its cool hiding behind cars and being able to shoot through small cracks and windows. When I die in mw3, I am not fussed. I really dont like the death streaks neither.
On the brightside
I killed a Juggernaut last night! yay for me.
