Modern Warfare 3 Weapon Rebalancing and More on “Panic Knifing”

4.4
Modern Warfare 3′s creative strategist, Robert Bowling, discusses panic knifing, quickscoping, weapon balancing, and potential nerf to Type-95.

Earlier today, we reported on Bowling’s suggestions on how to deal with panic knifing. In a nutshell, Bowling suggested that players should be careful when walking around corners. This advice aggravated one fan to jokingly demand Bowling to remove corners all together. Robert’s response was quite amusing, “roger. Got it, the answer to camping is to remove all corners. Call of Duty: Circle Warfare will be amazing.” Now that panic knifing is under the magnifying glass, one fan suggested that everyone hates it. Bowling disagreed, “the guy doing the knifing is loving it.” Another fan tried to persuade Bowling by bringing up the realism argument in regards to knifing, Robert answered “that’s the thing about war in video games and war in real life. One is fun; the other is real.” In terms of quickscoping, some players believe that there is a difference in quickscoping mechanics between semi-automatic rifles and bolt actions, Robert refuted these claims, “I don’t believe so. It should be the same mechanic.”

One fan approached Bowling with an interesting observation, basically he stated that Treyarch “messed up” Black Ops by “nerfing everything.” To which, Bowling responded, “I agree that weapon rebalancing should be a very selective process.” I don’t believe that Bowling is criticizing Treyarch, but offering his thoughts on the weapon rebalancing process to be more conservative. As previously mentioned, no additional tweaks are planned at the moment. Read more about the weapon balancing in patch 1.08, which will be released soon on PS3 and PC. One weapon that is still considered to be overpowered is the Type-95, Bowling stated “We haven’t discussed any additional nerfs beyond the slight one we made a few updates ago.” Type 95′s hipspread was slightly reduced back in December.

Manaconda127 I think they should take out crouching becuz its an unfair advantage to me standing. Cmon people just give it up MW3 should be dead. See me on Battlefield3
battlefield3 is not on top! And you can't even compare the two they are two completely different games! Battlefield3 maps are way to big in my opinion and the gameplay is slower! It's not on top It didn't sell even close to the ammount of copy's as Mw3! And half the people that bought BF3 sold it back. MW3>BF3
U care about numbers or quality?? seems only numbers and playing MW3 with 6 year olds doin stupid sh!t is your thing. then your right totally right
BF3 maps are big in your opinion? dude are you dumb, they are big, thats better because there is not a wall on every corner of the world is there? no, there gameplay is slower? they wanted to "TRY" to make it realistic as real war and in real war you don't turn a corner and get a kill instantly every sec, MW3 is garbage, don't say I suck at CoD because I am max rank on every CoD and almost 7th prst on MW3 I would be tenth if I cared for that shiity game.

BF3 Has terrible quality, it lags when you run and has slow responses. The reason most people play games is that they aren't too realistic. Also on BF3 Online to get to the action it takes all game to get where the battle is but when you get there the game is over? WTF!? And being honest on MW3 I haven't played with many '6 year olds' this is just a stereotype of the CoD Series :)

Forget bowling, i gave up on this game already, it really is a kids game now (not even old myself) the quickscoping is so easy i feel like a pro when im really not. And i don't think bf3 is better, but bf3's bullshit is far less annoying than mw3's bullshit.

I've never heard something so dumb. You walk around a corner and get knifed so you cry? What the **** do you expect to happen if you walk around a corner and someones there. To the person that said knives should be taken out all together holy shit are you that much of a **** that you get that upset over getting knifed while walking around a corner in a video-game. Come on seriously.

iM_iNFeCTiioN Who the **** does Bowling think he is? Gonna criticize Treyarch when MW3 is complete **** and clearly the worst Call of Duty game made.



LOL. Look at this hipster. Hating the newest call of duty because he was a Black Ops band wagoner who camped in corners. STFU kid. You just suck at Call of Duty. Go play Castle Crashers or something.
I Fu.cking hate MW3 and I never ever camped in Blops. The game was way less "camper friendly" all mw3 maps suck my D, at least TREYARC Knows how to build a map! you are just ignorent and he didn't say anything about being good, he wasnt debating the "best" cod. You STFU you are a bad camper if you like MW3 and are the same as everyother 12 year old kid. Spamming people with gay infections!

ALSO MW3 is not the least bit balanced, and with little or no updates this far in nothing is really going to change, every update the make does not really do anything yeah they finally took out the token glitch but everyone and their mother did it and still have the double xp working. The Type 95 is still the same one bursting op gun, yeah they added a very very minuscule amount of recoil but it still is a one burst nothing changed, honestly the game sucks, filled with 8 year old children. I could go on forever listing all the bad things about this game. Call of Duty numbers/sales don't mean shit every year it will continue to break the same records the previous title scored.
