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.

The only guns that should be patched or nerfed are the striker and the type 95.

They say "PATCH THE MODEL BLAH!!" but think about it.

The 1887's damage may be bad, but it has great range.

If they patched it, that would mean great damage, and great range.

great damage and great range = "NERF MODEL BLAH BLAH BLAH"

and the striker should definetly be dealt with.

Pin What I hate more than anything on every cod game is when your trying to quickscope (or even just snipe) in a public game, and then you get a kid with an overpowered gun running round the corner and killing you.

The solution?

More game modes! I think MW3 should have a 'sniper only' game mode, or 'no-knife' game mode. It solves all the problems stated above. :/



I was thinking about this the other day. An all sniping game would be awesome! Even if it would be considered "copying Halo".
Yes there shuld be more game modes more of these should be in the community, "Drop Zone" is just a spam of gernades and javelines... please listin to the community Infinity Ward.

Clovr everything is perfectly fine right now but because you cant expect all guns to be the exact same, some are bound to be better than the other. Thus leaving all the 12yr old kids to complain about the slightly better guns until they have to choice but to tweak it. After all the guns are tweaked were back to black ops... If little kids weren't running around trying to 720 no scope (what ever they do) they wouldn't die as much. They complain its the fault of the person killing them because they are using a cheap gun but really it just so happens the person killing the quick scoper is just using a popular gun. Try playing the game to its fullest and you won't complain so much. That being said I don't like Call of Duty anyway, I just play it because that's what all my friends are playing.


Why can't everyone playing xbox / ps3 be as educated, and well rounded as you?

Because the average age of a COD player is 12 :(
Wrong, average is probably closer to 5 or 6 years old according to the background noise i hear all the time of children complaining.

Even in a game it should be...random knife < 6 bullets to the face

I used to play call of duty, then I tool a knife to the knee.

I feel that I am the only person that when I nervous knife someone... I send them a message apologizing; because I know it is just frowned upon.
