Modern Warfare 3 – Panic Knifing and Extreme Conditioning Are Here To Stay
If you’re using the standard button layout for Modern Warfare 3, then you know the swing of your blade is only a tiny right thumb click away (on consoles) from downing your enemy in one foul swoop. This reflex tends to be the first reaction of one who finds themselves in a tricky situation all of a sudden. Hence the term, “panic knifing”. This has been a part of the Call of Duty franchise for ages now. But more and more, it seems to be receiving a lot of “hate” from the Call of Duty community. Many see it as a “cheap” and “easy” way to get kills. To add insult to injury, it definitely isn’t fun being knifed after having shot your enemy a couple of times first. In a virtual argument with fans on Twitter, Robert Bowling shares his view on the infamous “panic knife”.
“The lesson here is 1) Get a headshot at that range. – or – 2) Don’t get so close to your enemy,” Bowling argued. He also stresses caution when turning corners to avoid being knifed. “Of course you’ll get stabbed if you run into someone. Thats the risk of not taking your time and not checking your corners.” Obviously, Bowling is ‘for’ the current system of knifing.
Bowling was also recently asked numerous times if anything is going to be done about the Extreme Conditioning perk, which currently allows players to sprint for longer periods of time. Past iterations of this perk allowed players to sprint indefinitely. When asked if Infinity Ward would consider changing the perk back to Marathon, Bowling answered, “No. We purposely used Extreme Conditioning rather than Marathon…” As for any other sort of tweaks, Bowling stated, “nothing planned. Extreme Conditioning is fine as is, in my opinion.”
On a minor note, Bowling was also asked if shotguns would ever be seeing any further tweaks since the recent patch 1.08 as some users declare them to still be underpowered. He replied, “anything’s possible, but no plans currently.”

JUST GET BETTER MAPS THATS ALL I NEED! out of all the maps in this game i only like 4 Dome, Village, Lock Down, underGround i loved all COD 4 and MW2 maps except a few DLC ones and don't nerf guns except the **** STRIKER OMG that gun makes me so pissed off. nerf the type 95? why! its a 3 round burst it has to be 1-2 bursts a kill. The M16a4 should be like in MW2 1 -2 bursts i loved the M16A4 and i cant even use it in this game because it takes 3-4 burst to kill 1 person. ALL IM SAYING IS BE SMART IW. i think my review will help you guys save this Game. **** BF by the way

Modern warfare 3 was a failure in my opinion. And the strike packages are ridiculous. I remember the good old days when you actually had to EARN a kill streak reward. Now you can be 18 and 35 and still **** good players over with an emp.

"Don't get so close to your enemy," Really? What a cheeky c**t. If they hadn't made all the maps so excruciatingly small that wouldn't be an issue.
The knifing on CoD4 was fine, I don't see why it's been changed...
