......everyone had the same equipment right from the start, you could be a casual player and still destroy someone who played 10 hours a day if you had skill.

Totally agree with that.

Another reason why MP is so biased nowadays. Those with the better connection get the more and more capable weapons and attributes to smash those of us who don't, then wallow in their KD fantasy world. It's not competitive and levelling those attributes more from the start would help tremendously. But as long as it would appear quick snipe functionality is viewed as acceptable by the developers, it would be futile to think they would understand that sentiment.

I'll stick to campaign and co-op with friends.

I wonder if you will be happy with the move to the near future, as I know you are quite fussy with the type of weapons you like to see in FPS games? Hopefully the handheld weapons wont be "too" futuristic. I think this video makes some long awaited promises.

Roll on E3 I say.

Body, arm, leg or head shot and any bullet and they should be dead or seriously incapacitated. Even if you are wearing body armour.

This is where my biggest gripe lies with FPS games, I know it's just a game, but it's no fun watching multiple bullets hit a target and it turning around and start shooting back.

Just an opinion, I know most won't agree with it, that's why the likes of COD continue to be a success and why I tend to stick to games with more realism. Sadly they tend to be less polished due to lack of development funds and thus don't draw as many players as the main titles. Which is a great shame.

It amazes me that I can be the machine gunner in a tank in BF3, hit someone multiple times and yet they still manage to RPG me to death :/

PC upgrades are about once every 3-4 years which is about what most concolses should have their average lifespan though the curretn generation is a exception.

As to the development cycles of Cod it needs at least a 2 year gap between games so that they can establish otherwise the newer title just kills off its predecssor on console, pc still mostly play cod4.

Yea console games do get old very quickly. MW2 was infested with cheats and unplayable as soon as the new one came out. The developers just abandon a game once they have a new one. So much for customer loyalty

Actually swanny that is not quite correct,Infinity ward are renown for not supporting there games but Treyarch apparently do.

There has been many flaws and issues with MW3 since it release last November and even the basics have not been addressed

You don't get banned for being a good player. You're either lagging or cheating.

If you weren't, you would probably be a little less complacent about it.
