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.

I think they should have a melee system similar to call of duty 3 which you would try to strike your opponent with your gun and it would deminish a fraction of their health (would also do more damage from behind tho)

And still keeping the knife tho, but instead of it being a button you can instantly click it, use UP on the d-pad to pull out your knife and it stays equipped like a third weapon..using Right trigger to stab.

It would eliminate panic knifing and would make it feel more realistic.

I don't think nerfing a 3 shot weapon is right.. if I shoot three shots with one pull and you shoot 1 bullet with 1 pull.. you can kill in 2/3/4 quick pulls which is 2/3/4 bullets Type-95 shoots 3 at a time, It makes sense and

xGrusomeDeathx All I want is the Y-Y(Triangle-Triangle) ability back. It was a big part of trick shotting in MW2, and its a good way to cancel your reload in the case of an enemy suddenly showing up. Plus, I would like the snipers to be buffed so that almost every shot in a one shot kill, or just make it like MW2. It frustrates me when I'm running around quick-scoping, and I hitmarker an enemy point blank to the chest and he shoots me with FMG9s or a Type 95. I really hope they can take these things into consideration.


Dude I agree so much, trickshotting is ruined by the ability not to Y-Y on MW3. D:

BF3 Has terrible quality, it lags


Battlefield doesnt lag.. ? its run on ACTUAL servers not host's like Call of the children. The reason you have lag is either because your connecting to a server the other side of the world or you have high ping..

The quality (i assume you meant visuals) is epic. unless of course your a console gamer but even still it looks 20 times better then any modern kidfare


This is Call of Duty so **** off and I know a lot of squeakers that play BF3. Also when I played BF3 I found a lot of glitches and yet people say that it is the perfect game.
