Securing a MGB isn't easy when playing the game Modern Warfare 3 (MW3). However, an individual who goes by the alias of MYSTICJESUS managed to achieve this feat in a record time of just 97 seconds. This remarkable achievement, however, wasn't quite received positively by everyone in the gaming community.
The Middle-of-Season Update of MW3 recently introduced the reintegration of the legendary Das Haus map. This map, originally from the Vanguard series, was brought back due to popular demand from the gaming community.
However, the reintroduction came with its share of controversies, partially marring the success of the midseason update. Fans have expressed discontent about spawns within the Das Haus map, citing that they are worse than its Vanguard predecessor.
Regardless of the controversial map returns, one player managed to achieve quite the feat, leaving the community astounded. The anonymous ‘MYSTICJESUS’, procured the highest killstreak in MW3 within the surprisingly short time of 97 seconds.
The impressive accomplishment was shared on MW3's subreddit, creating a buzz in the gaming community. The player achieved the MGB (the nuke), the highest possible score in MW3. MYSTICJESUS managed to score 30 straight kills using only his weapon on the Das Haus map within just 97 seconds.
This is a feat that has left many fans both impressed and shocked. However, the joy wasn't unanimous, as some fans voiced their discomfort about how the feat was achieved.
Players mainly unlock the MGB, by successfully making 30 straight kills using only their weapons. This achievement is emblematic of the player's skill and game awareness. However, some players were left less enthusiastic about the game due to MYSTICJESUS's method of achieving his feat.
The key aspect of the controversy was the use of the Longbow sniper rifle by MYSTICJESUS. Many players considered MYSTICJESUS's strategy as an over-reliance on the Longbow, leading to discomfort and conversations about the gaming ethics within the MW3 community.
Following MYSTICJESUS's performance, a rising tide of complaints about the use of the Longbow rifle ensued. Players spot the swell in its usage since the second season of the game where the rifle got buffed. The increase in its prevalence in small map playlists has caused some concern among fans.
Gamers did not shy away from expressing their dismay and irritation with the situation. They voiced out their astonishment at MYSTICJESUS’s achievement, with several expressing the feeling of being cornered by the Longbow, which ended up leading to their defeats.
Many wished to see someone achieving the feat without leveraging the Longbow, expressing fatigue with seeing the rifle in so many game clips. These comments resonated with many and the demand for a nerf to balance the gameplay was a recurring suggestion.
The conversations also touched upon the rising popularity of the Longbow in MW3. Most players believe that the chances of achieving such feats without resorting to the Longbow are significantly reduced, implying an unfair advantage in its usage. This made the memory of MYSTICJESUS's feat bitter-sweet for some of the players.
Despite its sharp focus on one particular incident, this discussion highlighted a broader issue. It engendered a widespread introspection about the dominance of the Longbow, a contentious issue within the MW3 community.
While the debate on the ethics of using Longbow in MW3 continues unabated, the fact remains that one player managed to raise the bar by achieving the game’s highest feat by securing an MGB in just 97 seconds. Regardless of the debate, this achievement remains indelibly etched in the record books of MW3.
This incident has raised important considerations about game strategy and the balance of weaponry within the game. The reaction from the community echoes the need for moderation and balance in the game's weaponry to ensure fair play and continued enjoyment among gamers.
Game developers and the larger gaming community need to consider this incident as an impetus for change. It calls for a rethinking of the tactics encouraged within the game and a comprehensive review of the weapon's strengths in the future updates of MW3.
While the gaming community waits for the response from the game's developers to the Longbow controversy, everyone agrees that MYSTICJESUS's feat, however achieved; stands as a testament of a well-strategized gaming plan. The best one can do as a player is to adapt, await changes, and hone one's skills on MW3's battleground.
