Just so everyone knows, week long double XP starts with the release of map pack 3.
When will this go live? Anyone know when they normally release stuff on Live?

Haven't been too hardcore into this game but been playing it more lately and on PC and while it looks amazing, teh games all seem to be huge clusterfucks and don't remember MW being like this at all.
Would playing this on 360 seem less chaotic than the PC version? Don't know if its the crazy speed on the aiming people are doing plus extra options/players or something, but I feel like I'm getting shell shocked here.

How many people are you playing with on the PC version? Whenever you introduce too many people into a game like some PC servers do, it turns into a mess. The console versions imo have the default proper number of players on a team for a map. When you go above that in COD 4 for example, it turns the game into a mess imo.

I was doing 24 player matches and it still felt crazy fast and way to much stuff going on besides shooting. Whats console player count normally?

2-18. And most modes are 8 on 8.
I can't really speak for COD:Waw but I saw your post and I always felt the same on the PC version of COD 4. The IW games are small scale affairs imo. The more players you start introducing the less it takes away from the moving and finding people aspect. It just turns into a big mess because the game isn't designed like a battlefield game which a lot of PC users try to turn every game into by upping the player count for the server
24 count isn't bad. I've seen and played worse on the PC version although like I said, on a personal level I prefer 16 for most of the maps in COD 4. Perhaps the situation is different for Waw though. I actually don't own it.

Played a bit of map pack action. Not sure how I feel about Revolution or Breach but Battery is very solid in SnD, seems like it could really be good in CTF or TDM.
Der Riese is good but man its hard. The zombies climb and drop down much more frequently than other arenas. You can upgrade weapons and ammo which change their attributes, looks and sounds. I upgraded a PPSh into "The Reaper" and a Thompson into "Gibs-O-Matic" or something like that. The Monkey Bomb is insane. When you're surrounded by zombies just drop one and it sits and plays music which attracts every zombie on the map and then BAM blows them up.

Anyone looking to get in on some zombie action on PS3 with the new map pack? I need more zombie players on my friends list.
And what weapons do you guys think are best to use with suppressors? I've been using the MP40 but it shoots too slow so losing out on stopping power hurts it, and the Thompson but it's default clip is too low so it's hard to take out more than 1 guy at a time. I'm thinking I may have to change my silent class to a rifle...

With all the hype of a new map pack, I thought I would attempt to try out the multiplayer again. Well fuck that shit. Jesus I was dying faster than I could spawn. Grenade death, rocket, claymore, sniper, dog, fucking grenade again. Now I know why I don't play Cod. And how come I'm only rank 11 and the match making puts me up against people on their 4th or 5th prestige.

Well if you play 360,then get into a party with some friends and work together. It won't really improve your skills so much as it'll make it more fun and competitive. You'll be comparing kill counts and scores in no time. Hell even get everyone to change to the same clan tag and play for a few hours. It's way more fun.

Love the new maps. I really like how they feel like an actual real area in a war zone, and not just some crafted playground. Anyone else feel all of the WaW DLC maps are way better than the default maps it came with? The only one I'm not too fond of is the subway station one (the name escapes me at the moment).
Still need more PS3 zombie mode friends! Add me if you want (same nick). Just let me know you're from GAF when you send a request.

Yeah, the new maps are standouts, especially Revolution. I FUCKING love that map. Like it was said, they feel like real locations on a battlefield, and are alot more detailed and multi-tiered than the standard levels.
Battery's another well planned and unique map with heaps of little choke points. Breach is intimidating at first but it offers so many opportunities to flank, so I can see it becoming very popular in TD.
It's very much worth the 8 bucks or so.

Battery is insane. Granted, I don't play too many online shooters, but I've never seen a map like that.
The new maps are amazing for the objective game modes. Really happy with Map pack 2 and 3.

These new maps must be damn popular. Saw almost 300,000 people online last night.
Hopped back into the game after quitting months ago to try out the new zombie map and wow, have they ever changed that mode. I played for a while by myself and hit Level 8 solo then go overwhelmed because I was stupid. The little clapping monkey weapon is awesome, I was laughing when the Achievement popped for using it.

Yeah Battery is my favourite map of all the packs so far, maybe Nightfire or Knee Deep second. I went from level 31 to 41 on my second Prestige today, good ol' Double Experience.

Seriously, what the hell is the trick to finding zombie mode games? I have to let it sit there for like 10 minutes before it finds anyone.
I wish they'd add a zombie playlist to the normal multiplayer menu and have it cycle though all 4 maps like a normal game instead of hiding the zombie stuff under it's own menu, and splitting the players up into 4 different groups.

The lag in this game (and CoD4 for that matter) is so goddamn frustrating, more so than any other FPS I've played. The host can run around like fucking Rambo since that half second or more time delay means all the difference in shoot outs that would otherwise be equal. Every kill cam shows me shooting less rounds than I actually shot off. Every now and then I'll be selected as host, and go something like a 30-5 K/D ratio easily. This problem is even more exacerbated with kill streak rewards. The game is a lot of fun otherwise, but sheesh, how do people put up with this shit!?
I've never thought host advantage was killer in this game. I mean, sure, there is an advantage, but I've never found it game-breaking or anything like that. Certainly never to the extent of the game killing host advantage of Gears.
Everyone needs to download the Iphone app for this. Fucking brilliant.

You can hold out by the last teleporter. Have 2 teammates covering the stairs and one covering the window. Once you hit round 26 ammo becomes a serious problem.Concept17 said:

I've reached round 26 twice and died both times because of low ammo. The game becomes evil when you need a max ammo in the later rounds. At that point, I was hoping for a dog round because they usually drop an ammo box when they're all dead.
Really love this map pack. Best zombie map by far and the multiplayer maps shine. Sidenote: Goosestepping zombies never fails to crack me up.

Man sometimes the zombie mode can be so frustrating. Like if you get backed into a corner by zombies and there's a gap between some of them, and you try to run through the gap but you can't for some reason. I also hate when you stab them with the knife and it lunges towards them and you're kind of stuck there for about half a second.
Does anyone know of a resource where I can get reliable reviews on the map packs? If not, anyone have any recommendations on which map packs are "worth it"? To give a bit of background, I'm into online TDM and I only recently got into Zombie Mode due to introducing it to my GF. Proud to say that over the course of just this last weekend, her record now is 64 Zombie Kills.

You don't have to, but if matchmaking puts you on a map you don't have, you'll just get booted from the game and directed to the marketplace.

In my opinion, the latest (map pack3) Zombie map, 'Der Reise' is the best map after the first original. There is quite a bit more to learn and do compared to the original Zombie Map but it's pretty fun once you get the hang of it. The other three maps are also probably the best multiplayer maps out of the three packs, also. (In my opinion)

Can anyone tell me the song that is playing in the background during the WAW Inside Xbox videos that have been put up in the last couple of weeks?
Its so eerily beautiful. Is it from the soundtrack?
