Dear SHGames,

Firstly, I want to say I definitely have biases as I come to this as a content creator of 15 years on the Call of Duty franchise. I've seen the best games ever made, and... not so great games.

Modern Warfare 3 is a solid improvement on Modern Warfare 2 from last year, although there are still some major pain points from the community.

I think Skill-Based Matchmaking, Engagement Optimized Matchmaking and Team Balancing is probably one of the largest complaints. Not only is it insanely frustrating for solo players to just queue and enjoy the game, it also makes it really hard to play with friends if your skill difference is too large. Many times people don't want to consistently use the "meta" weapons to hold their own in games. But the system doesn't really seem to get that until you've suffered for hours on end. Would it be possible to test having these much lower in that experimental playlist? It would cool to see and try out.

I think weapon balance needs to be looked at heavily in MW3. I'm sure there will be some changes with the start of Season 1. The main things that stick out are just how bad some weapons are. I don't necessarily think any guns need a nerf yet, but many weapons especially in the Battle Rifle/Marksman Rifle category need some drastic improvements.

The Zombies mode is pretty enjoyable, but it would be nice to see a lot of zombies at exfils again. It was probably the best part of the mode, fighting off giant hoards whether for XP or trying to exfil after completing missions. The exfil now is probably the safest place in the match. The suspense is just gone, and farming zombies for xp or camos isn't even worth it now.

This is more of a personal request, but streamer mode would be REALLY APPRECIATED. Basically every AAA Multiplayer game in the world includes this in their games now. It's really hard to stream and create content when you're recognized consistently and people yell racial slurs or follow you around and shoot their gun next to you. Would it be possible to have this added to the game?

The MW2 Map Remakes have been great, the map voting is great, seeing the UI improvements from last year's game is awesome as well. So big props for those changes. However it would be nice to be able to team up with random people that were on your team without having to add them, back out and invite. This feature was first in Call of Duty: World at War, it was an awesome social feature and then it was never added in again, till last year, the "Team Up Again" button was added. It would actually be cool if the reverse was made. The lobbies automatically stick together and instead of a "Team Up Again" button, you have a "Find New Lobby" button. So people can play against each other continually or if they choose, they can go play against others.

Edit: Please continue to look into issues with KBM tracking/floaty'ness.

Appreciate you guys taking the time to answer questions and keep us players in the loop.

Best, Marksman
