MW2

Quickscopers Will Return; Marathon Pro Changes

by NotoriousGee88 on November 2, 2011

I cannot wait until 11/8/11, because finally Modern Warfare 3 will be released! I have been waiting for this game for two years and no, I didn’t forget about Black Ops last year. While I did enjoy Black Ops, it just wasn’t nearly as enjoyable as Modern Warfare. The two games aren’t even on the same level in my opinion. There’s just something about Modern Warfare that I love.

The sniper rifles were highly accurate, but sometimes QuickScopers flooded the rooms with their clans. They refused to use anything but that wimpy little bolt action rifle (Intervention) even if you were a foot away. I guess you could say that QuickScopers annoyed me but they never made me angry, I could just whip out my knife and chase them down with my super fast Marathon Pro. In Modern Warfare 2 everyone complained about the snipers, noobtoobs, and Marathon Pro because they were so much more accurate and Marathon Pro was ridiculously fast especially with Lightweight Pro.

While all of these perks were featured in Black Ops, they were toned down quite a bit. No more QuickScoping, running around like a chicken who’s head had been cut off, and noobtoobing from across the map and hitting people that weren’t really even close. However, those were the things that  made me love Modern Warfare, and even though I hate QuickScoping, I can’t wait to stab those idiots in the back as I run by with my Marathon Pro. The only thing is, I do not think Marathon Pro will be unlimited sprint like before. From what I have seen from other sites, the new Marathon Pro will now be called Extreme Conditioning/Extreme Conditioning Pro and will allow you to sprint longer distances, and the Pro version of Extreme Conditioning will allow you to climb obstacles faster. I have not seen anything online that indicates sprinting will be unlimited like before. This is somewhat of a disappointment to me since I am a “run and gun” type of player.

What is your opinion on Quickscoping, Noobtoobing, and the changes to Marathon Pro? Please follow and tweet at us on Twitter @killcampodcast. Also, tell your friends to follow us as well!

Check out the MW3 Perks:

Perk Tier / Slot One

Extreme Conditioning: Sprint longer distances (like Marathon). Extreme Conditioning Pro will allow you to climb obstacles faster (like Marathon Pro).
Sleight of Hand: This will allow you to reload faster. Sleight of Hand Pro will allow you to swap weapons faster.

Scavenger: Just like in MW2, Scavenger will allow you to refill your ammo from fallen foes in MW3. Scavenger Pro will allow you to spawn with more ammunition than normal.

Blind Eye: This will make you undetectable to support (killstreaks etc). Blind Eye Pro will allow you to lock onto air craft much more quickly. It will also allow you to cause more damage against enemy air support.

Recon: If one of your explosive weapons causes damage to an enemy player, that enemy player’s position will be painted on the minimap so that your team mates instantly know where he is. With Recon Pro, shooting an enemy with regular bullets will paint his position on the minimap so that your team mates know where he/she is.

Perk Tier / Slot Two

Hardline will work like it did in Black Ops and Modern Warfare 2. i.e. you’ll need one less kill / point for a killsteak / pointstreak in MW3. Hardline Pro will allow 2 assists to count as a kill towards your killstreak.

Assassin will act like a watered-down version of Cold Blooded/Ghost. It will make you immune to UAVs, Heartbeat sensors, Portable Radar and Thermal. It will NOT make you immune to air support and killstreaks. Assassin Pro will make you immune to the Counter UAV and the EMP.

Overkill will allow you to select a primary weapon as your secondary weapon. Basically, Overkill will allow you to have two primary weapons in MW3. Overkill Pro will allow you to put two attachments on your secondary weapon, much like Bling Pro in MW2.

Quickdraw in MW3 will work like Sleight of Hand Pro in MW2 and Black Ops. It will allow you to aim down your sights at a faster rate. Quickdraw Pro will allow you to recover faster after using your grenades or equipment.

Blast Shield was a piece of equipment in MW2. In MW3, Blast Shield will be a perk. It will allow you to take less damage from explosives. Blast Shield Pro will make you immune to flash grenades and stun grenades.

Perk Tier / Slot Three

Sitrep in MW3 will work the same as Sitrep in MW2 and Black Ops. It will allow you to see enemy explosives and equipment. This is like Bomb Squad in COD 4. Sitrep Pro will allow you to hear footsteps better.

Dead Silence will work like Ninja Pro. It will make your footsteps almost silent. Dead Silence Pro in MW3 will prevent you from taking fall damage, much like Commando Pro in MW2 and Lightweight Pro in Black Ops.

Stalker will allow you to move quicker while aiming down your sights. Stalker Pro will delay claymore explosions in MW3.

Marksman will give you an ID target from Ranger. I’m not really sure what that means yet. Marksman Pro will allow you hold your breath for much longer while scoping through a sniper rifle or a thermal scope.

Steady Aim will give you increased hip fire accuracy. In MW3, Steady Aim Pro will allow you to quickly aim down your sights while sprinting. This is similar to Lightweight Pro in MW2.

MW3

by BammBamm911 on October 31, 2011

Our UAV is up and we are anxiously awaiting the release of Modern Warfare 3. The game is set to release a little less then 8 days from now and after watching all the trailers available on their website as well as YouTube, I cannot wait to see what MW3 will have in store for us. After previously being excited about Black Ops (huge let down in my mind), I still have my faith in the Call of Duty title.

From what I have seen I see a lot of the great qualities from MW2 returning for this title, including the ACR (my personal favorite gun). It is rumored that Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games has completely revamped the killstreak system on multiplayer, as well as the addition of new weapons and attachments. I’m sorry for you non-quickscopers; quickscoping will return in this game. But things such as the “dolphin-dive” have been removed. There are quite a few new multiplayer game modes coming to Modern Warfare 3, “Kill Confirmed” will be a mulitplayer mode requiring you to collect the dog tags of dead enemy players before the kill will count for your team, however if the enemy team collects the dog tag first the kill will not count. “Team Juggernaut” will be another multiplayer mode where your squad plays with an AI juggernaut. “Gun Game” as well as “One In the Chamber” will appear on MW3 with the same concept from Black Ops.

It is also rumored that MW3 will have a “Team Survival” mode, with the same concept as the zombies games from Black Ops and World at War, instead of zombies you will be fighting off waves of enemies. We will keep you updated on everything rumored around the release of MW3 and will do our best to keep you informed. Thanks for reading, and game on.

Enjoy.
