Seriously? Still No Fixes?

I keep playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and its still NOT balanced more than 4 months after the release date. This is with countless amounts of user input, but what I'm learning is that the companies Infinity Ward, Beachhead Studios (couldn't find a website), and Raven Software are just incompetent enough to not fix it. So here's what I am putting out there, he's my message to the world, the one that says FIX THIS YOU DUMB MOTHER F***ERS!

1. Striker - Seriously? You call that a nerf? I believe the exact quote from fourzerotwo was "The Striker is losing power and all shotguns are increasing in damage." Now I might be wrong about something, but isn't [50 +5power to all shotguns -5power to all shotguns = 50]? SO I don't think you did anything. NERF THAT THING. Here's how you balance it (pick one):
  • Down the damage so much that it literally take either 3 close range shots to kill, 5 medium range shots to kill, and impossible from long range
  • Add Kick. Add a lot of Kick. That thing should kick so hard that each shot makes you do a half-backflip.
  • Make the person slower when they run with it and down the reload rate by a lot.
2. Type 95 - I don't understand how you guys can "nerf" the gun more than once. If its NERFED then it shouldn't need a second nerfing. SO god damn it, learn to NERF a gun! Again, pick one.
  • REDUCE THE DAMAGE! It should take at least 3 shots to kill or 2 perfect shots.
  • Add kick! Add kick so that you fire that thing and it bounces.
  • Reduce the range.
3. MK-14 - This gun doesn't get talked about a lot, but its 2 shots to kill, has no kick, is long range, lets you run fast, can be silenced and used easily, doesnt sway, etc. Are you getting my drift? Its just too god damn good unless you miss the shot, but even if you do you can fire it like a machine gun.
  • Put a minimum fire time on it that's higher than 0.5 seconds. Make it take at least 1.5 seconds before you can fire a second shot. With rapid fire, it should decrease its fire time to 0.5 seconds but increase kick (because of more shots).
  • Add kick. Why is it that this seems to be a good solution. Oh wait, cause its easy to do and works.
  • Make that weapon sway! Its a sniper (or close to the snipers in almost every way) so why not add some sway to the end of it.
4. ALL MACHINE PISTOLS, though mainly the FMG9's - You've tried nerfing this weapon like 50 times in 50 different ways. Why hasn't it worked? Because your idea of nerfing them is slowing down the rate of fire. Their fire rate was ridiculous to begin with, now you've just made them like all the other weapons. So take away the power on them.
  • Decrease the damage by A LOT (its a side arm, not a main weapon).
5/6. PP90M1 and MP7 - Both of these weapons have to much power, almost no kick, huge clips, and let the users run fast. Oh, and add on the range proficiency and they only get better. SERIOUSLY? When I saw the videos for MW3 and the douche bag came on and said the PP90M1 where his favorite new weapons, no joke I thought right then and there that the reason he liked them was because they are Overpowered and Not Balanced. Why is it I'm always right.
  • Decrease the damage. Lets just state the obvious that these are too powerful for what they do and should have a damage reduction.
  • Increase the kick. Make it that the things are off center after about 2 shots fired, make sure its by a lot and make sure that it kicks sort of out of the way of a headshot.
  • Decrease the range and accuracy. These guns are way way way to powerful at any range. Decreasing the range and accuracy would really help with how they can magically get headshots from across the map.
7. Grenade Launchers - Honestly, this is the 3rd time you guys have failed at balancing out this weapon, and so far this has been the 2nd worst attempt. Here's an idea:
  • Make grenade launcher under barrels cost 2 slots (requiring the attachment modification to use) and leave them as they are. Now for the launchers ones, take away the persons grenade. I guarantee people with twice before using them. While you are at it, make all launchers take away the grenade slot. That'll help balance out the "Helicopters are weak"
8. Recon Drone - Seriously? This thing gets a jammer, can put people on the map indefinitely, flies super fast, can see the enemies as red arrows, gets a flare, gives the player 100 points for each tag (which add to the score board) and also only costs 10 kills not in the same life? SERIOUSLY? (For this one you need to choose 2 or more... this thing is so overpowered)
  • No flare. Its hard enough to lock-on as is so the flare is just stupid.
  • No jammer. Why.
  • No red arrows until they are within range. That way at least it has to be able to see them and isn't just flying around perfectly tagging people it shouldn't be able to.
  • NOT FOREVER - Make the recon go away after 10 seconds or so.
  • Make it cost more. 10 kills is easy as all get out to get something this over powered.
  • AND THIS ONE IS REQUIRED: STOP LETTING IT ADD THE 100 POINTS TO THE SCORE BOARD! It doesn't make sense why this thing can boost someones score on the board from last place to first when they technically haven't done anything that helps increase the score. The assists they get for the kills will show up on their already, so theirs no need to show the 100 points also.
Well Infinity Ward, Beachhead Studios, and Raven Software, I've done literally the hardest part for you guys in cleaning up your mess, all you have to do is change some numbers and click update. I know, its hard having power, but for the $1 Billion you get paid you better start working harder for it.

How to be a Good Roommate

So I thought I would just post this list, because I'm highly annoyed that my roommates tend to be rather inadequate at figuring out these simple rules. Also, these are very general rules, little things, that tend to go a long way with any roommate because they are good habits to get into. I'll try to sort them by area.


Kitchen
  • If you make a mess, clean it up - I think this is self explanatory, but no one wants to clean up your messes in the kitchen. You made dinner, that's nice, but you also get to clean up your pots and pans and all the spills too. Also, it takes 15 minutes to clean up your mess, maybe longer if you made a bigger dinner, but it goes much farther for your roommate.
  • Dishes go in the Dishwasher, not the sink - I can't tell you how annoyed I get when dishes are in the sink. First of all, they get in the way of  your roommate trying to cook or clean his own dishes. If you want them to get clean, you better put them in the dishwasher. The exception to this rule is if you are in a hurry and will clean them ASAP, but to be honest I don't think that's a good exception.
  • Keep it fresh - If stuff goes bad, throw it out. I hate finding stuff that went bad 3 days ago in the fridge and the worst part is I can't throw it out cause its my roommates and he'll be like why. So keep it fresh for your roommate.
Bathroom
  • Help clean it up! - I really hate that I have to put this on here, but of all the roommates I've had it seems like none of them ever learned that I don't really want to have to clean the bathroom every time. That's nice that you vacuumed the main room, that's lovely you learned how to press a button on the dishwasher, but lets be honest none of those compare to what's in the bathroom. Rule of thumb, help out instead of stinking it up. (My current roommate still thinks its okay to let me do it)
  • Always flush unless otherwise - Basically, I don't want to see something in the toilet. If you toss it in there, I'm going to assume its a bio-waste I don't want to touch and you need to flush it. If you are tossing it in there cause its just a little thing, think if it can be trashed instead and save me the hap-hazard of seeing it and being disgusted. Also, convention says unless you agree on stuff that can sit, always flush.
  • NOTHING DOWN THE DRAIN! - Seriously, don't clog the drain with things you shouldn't be dumping down there. If it comes off you while you shower (dead skin, hair, oils, etc) then its fine because you can't help that, but if you purposefully are putting something down the drain to get rid of it, just stop and don't. You clog the drain and cause someone else to fix it or yourself problems. So simple rule, nothing down the drain that wasn't suppose to go there.
  • Stay out of my medicine cabinet - Simply stay out. People take medical things for various reasons, some more embarrassing that others. If you don't have permission to be in there, then don't go in there. Its like viewing someones personal stuff but not understanding that they take it for a certain reason. So stay out of medicine cabinets and drawers and anything else that aren't "yours" to keep privacy!
Common Room
  • Clean up your mess - I think we get the point by now, but if you make a mess then you need to clean it up. No one wants to clean up your stuff and unless no one has a problem with a decoration or something a certain way, then keep it out of there and keep it clean.
  • Share the Vacuum - It sounds like a weird rule, but I know a lot of people that won't help clean up the messes that just naturally happen. If you take the time and both do it, you both end up happier with one another.
  • Don't hog the common room - It sounds weird, but people tend to hate it when they can't use their rooms the way they want to. So in basic, don't hog it all to yourself because you never know who else may actually want to use it too. And if it seems like they aren't using it and so you deserve that time, it probably just means that they don't go in there because you use it too much. Hogs don't notice the annoyance they cause.
Your Room
  • Keep the private, Private - We don't need to know your personal life. Keep what you want private, private. Enough said.
Girlfriends/Boyfriends
  • WE DON'T NEED TO HEAR THAT! - Seriously no one wants to hear you having sex, making out, talking all lovey dovey, or any of that other crap. So try to keep it to a minimum. Seriously, I'm sick of hearing sex. Go somewhere else. Go do something else...
  • WE DON'T NEED TO SEE THAT! - Same as above, but no one wants to see it either. If you are the type of couple that can't get your paws off each-other, then get out of the room with that. It makes everyone else feel like a third wheel when you are always attached at the lips and no one likes to watch other people make-out or touch each-other. No sex in common areas please.
  • Spend less time with her/him in the Apartment - It sounds weird, but actually don't bring your girlfriend/boyfriend home to the apartment as often as possible. They don't live there, they don't have a room there, they don't pay rent there, they shouldn't be there (if they do live there [and pay], ignore this rule cause it doesn't apply). I have a roommate that seriously thinks I want to see his girlfriend all the time. I hate her, I really don't want to see her. SO it would be awesome if they could, you know, either pay me back since I didn't ask for another roommate or move him out since he just wants to live with her.
  • If she/he is loud - Kill them. I'm not joking, I hate hearing girlfriends/boyfriends talking so loud that I can hear them through the walls. I don't care if you mute them by stuffing their mouth (no moans though) or if you literally duck tape that trap shut, but no one wants to hear that voice all the time.
  • Just cause you like them doesn't mean your roommates do - I think that's self explanatory.
  • Its not her place, its not her stuff, its not where she should go - She/he needs to bake, well don't bring her home cause I need the kitchen that I pay for for my own cooking. She/he needs the washer/shower/couch/TV/sink/Anything, well too bad. Seriously I can't drive home how much that this isn't her/his apartment and he/she doesn't actually have a right to the stuff in it. So stop letting them have it.
I hope these rules (which is a smaller list) show my frustration with my roommates girlfriend. That's why that's at the bottom, so that I'm kinda fizzled out when I get there. Sorry for the random service announcement.
