not sure if you can search for and join a clan, so if not post your gamertag here and I'll send you an invite.

Already did. I sent out invites to a lot of you already. Might have missed a few though.

I get a 404 - Elite is so fucking broken, it's ridiculous. Still can't link YouTube and I get 404 error messages still. :thumbsdown:

Pretty sure I'm going to sell my copy of mw3 while it still has value. Its utter trash compared to black ops, and I didn't really like black ops all that much.

How the hell do you find a group on the elite website? I see how to do a search for Clans but not groups.

When you click on "Connect" on the left the default is the groups page. However, it looks like the search field has disappeared

Didnt they have a beta for Elite? You think they would of caught some of the small errors. I like how I went from getting a 503 error to 404. Maybe since its counting down they almost have it fixed and it only took them 2 weeks

A lot of the features in Elite now were not in the beta. And, Elite barely worked when it was in beta, so who knows what they expected.

Looks like either they patched the Type 95 with the latest update or hit detection is worse after the patch.

Stopped using it as I'd get of a times 3 burst and hits with it and not drop someone. Was extremely annoying.

Been using the MK14 mostly this past weekend and seemed to up my KD a bit at least. Had a 17 kill streak with it which was better than I ever got with the Type 95.

What's nice about the mk14 is that damage does not seem to drop off much with it at range.

I still like the ACR the most though.

Really? I felt like it had no dropping power. Like I'd empty a magazine per drop. Maybe I didn't give it a fair shake though. I just like having my shots drop someone right away before they have time to drop me 1st.

The power of the M4, SCAR-L, G36K and ACR is their ROF and accuracy. Keep yourself aiming at the chest and you'll generally get a headshot kill quickly. If not, it only takes 2-3 bullets to take someone down ... honestly, if you have no problem with the Mk14, then the issue won't lie with lag - you need to adjust to the guns. Too many people stick to one weapon and don't want to learn another, but it could take some time to adjust. Hell, going from the SCAR-L to CM901 took me some time to adjust, I thought the CM901 really sucked.

Yeah I get that. it's easy to get comfortable with one gun and do OK with it but more and more I've been trying to move to each gun as I unlock it and give it a fare try. I did not however spend much time with the ACR when I unlocked it. I'll use it tonight and see how it goes.

I love the ACR suppressed. I can get so many long shots because it stays on target so well. Its the only AR that ive really used so far. I have used the SCAR, CM901, and TYPE 95 but to me the ACR is the best.

The weapon balance is really good...if you think any gun sucks, you're probably not using it right, or just not used to it.

Last night I was really digging the mp7 + range + rapid fire. Accurate out to a surprising distance and able to drop people with enough fire, still melts faces from the hip up close. Was consistently at the top of the KC scoreboard because I had the firepower and the speed to grab tags.

My preferences for AR's are as such:

ACR + Kick + Silencer
Mk14 + Attachments + Silencer + Rapid Fire (This is retarded)
SCAR + Kick + Silencer

You can substitute on the ACR and throw on the extended mags if you can control the accuracy well enough.

I use ACR suppressed with Kick proficiency. Pretty good combo. Sometimes I run out of ammo b/c I get on a good streak w/ the gun.

I hate trying to complete the Shotgun and Grenade Launcher challenges for rifles.

I realized that in past games, grenade launchers were annoying and OP at times, but it seems they really nerfed GLs to the point where you need to get like a direct hit in the face to kill anyone with.

And with the undermounted shotgun. This thing is super annoying too. It seems like at times you can hit ppl directly and still require 3 shotgun blasts to kill someone. Typically, u won't last against someone good if you need to hit them 3 times w/ it.

I agree, I'd say that the guns in this game are balanced better than any previous CoD. Shotguns rule CQC, followed by SMGs - you can take down an SMG user with an AR and Quick Draw - so on and so forth. There are a few that have some strengths depending on range, etc. but nothing that seems stupidly overpowered.

Why are you doing those challenges? Gone are the days of titles and icons requiring them, and max proficiency doesn't require them completed. For the shotgun, try playing some hardcore, but I do agree - they suck balls.

the ACR is a beast. Love the gun. Put extended mags on it and it's ridiculous how many kills you can rack up.

I like the AK but the ROF just feels too slow for me.

Speaking of titles, do you get anything when maxing out headshots on a gun? I know that for 1000 kills you get an emblem so I was wondering.
