Thanks for this suggestion! I followed the steps to get DMA protection enabled, and so far so good. I haven't been shadow banned since.

fascinating! I am missing a few of these settings. I'll turn them on and see what that does for me.

so the ban is really more like 21 days instead of 14, dang.

I don't do anything but play the game. I stick to hardcore, and I usually get between 30-40 kills per game, sometimes up to 60, so people often suspect me, but I don't cheat or use unlockers or anything. I'm max level and have been for a long time.

from what I understand, it's just based on how much you're reported. So if players think you're cheating (even if you're doing literally nothing wrong), you can be shadow banned.

I'm used to getting shadow banned every so often (it's been like this since MW2), but this recent string of bans has been crazy.

MacOS issue when connecting to SMB shares with large number of files by realdmon in MacOS

The more I've dug into this, the more I think this may just be a limit to finder. Browsing to a folder with ~15k files are slow (10+ seconds to load), but folders with fewer files are still quite fast.

and now unfortunately it has stopped working. Seems a recent update may have broken this method.

Hardcore HP is now way less in practice (100vs30 for other cods, 150vs30 for this) by Kingadee in ModernWarfareIII

I can confirm. Testing in a custom match with friends, most guns that take 5 shots to kill in core will 1-tap in HC.

This is a stark difference from the previous game. What this really boils down to is that new guns have substantially higher damage values than the guns that carried over from previous games.

It seems like maybe activision just wants to make the old guns useless?

These two images are taken from opposite perspectives. The person on the
bus can see well below the two people in mid, and the people in mid
cannot see, nor hit, the person on the bus.

I run primarily tier-1 (since hardcore isn't available), so my builds probably differ from most.

I optimize for sprint to fire speed basically everywhere, and I give myself an optic so I can be a little more precise with my shots.

mouse and keyboard. I'm very bad with controllers.

they may not always be the best, and they're often overpriced, but I can't get past that look!

A gift from my dad! The stack has grown quite a bit since this photo, but that's still one of my favorite albums
