MW3 In Depth - Green / Yellow Perks

[@kingapex3285]

Sitrep illuminati confirmed

[@FernandoGarcia-dg8ml]

King Apex Stalker Chupacabra Confirmed

[@goukigod]

Just recently crawled out from under a rock and found your show. Good work sir!

[@Drift0r]

It mutes them for you. You won't hear friendly footsteps stamping around all over the map but the enemy team can hear you all just fine.

[@RealRushinRussian]

Dead Silence doesn't completely save you from damage. It just scales it down drastically. It is still possible to die from fall damage with Dead Silence if you're already badly injured and you proceed to repeatedly fall from a height a bunch of times. I thought it would be worth to note that.

[@CampyMcCamperPants]

Decibels are measured logarithmically. A 4 decibel increase could very well be double the original volume. I haven't memorized the scale, but the difference between a shout and a whisper is something like 100 decibels and the volume increase is something like 1,000,000x. Fun fact.

[@Evrando]

that in depth outro edit was awesome!! use that in future episodes!!!

[@Ey3Zick]

the only way driftor could have been more wrong about sitrep was if e said it was a blue perk. it cancels dead silence, does not cancel ur footsteps or ur teams. also dead silence doesnt make it 100% silent

[@Vordb666]

Oh, yeah, there is. A ton of people use Trophy System and Tactical Insertions in Drop Zone, plus the helicopters drop decoy care packages, so SitRep Pro will help you avoid accidentally picking one up.

[@SpzProz]

The Dead Silence perk reduces the time that Recon allows you to see the enemy on the map, in half of course, so 10 seconds that you can see the enemy with it, you can only see them for 5.

[@02foolofatook]

When noise doubles, decibels only increase by 3 units. It's not proportional. That might be why the game guide says differently. The more you know...

[@gold3263301]

Also, I think Marksman isn't really "see people's names at longer distance" but rather "at any distance". No matter how far they are, you'd always see their names as long as you have a clear sight of them (or if they're behind very thin cover, as mentioned).

[@slyden12]

Dude are you even LEGALLY BLIND!

[@hoodzeo]

the perks either look green or yellow depending on your TV and monitor settings and the level of colorblindness you have

[@mcossack8267]

drift0r is colorblind.

[@Somethingcrappy]

The color of the perk icons are actually almost completely yellow, not green. I put the icons in paint.net by taking a screenshot and then picking the colors from different spots of the icon the color menu shows colors that are around 99% yellow. Also it kinda makes sense for it to be yellow since the 3 colors people usually refer as the "main" colors are red, blue and yellow.

[@Drift0r]

I'm aware of this. That's why I punched it into an online converter to get the volume level difference :P It came out to slightly more than double.

[@davidfoster8433]

Sitrep pro mutes your teammates footsteps and your footsteps to YOU, so you can hear the enemy footsteps better. Dead Silence mutes your footsteps to the enemy players so THEY can't hear you. If somebody is using Sitrep pro, the enemies can still hear your footsteps, but you can't hear your footsteps. It's actually a pretty good way they've coded that into the game :)

[@ElementDragon555]

Great intro. I love how you don't have this show as bland as it could be.

[@xCelticxCowboyx]

Had an Assault Rifle class with Stalker Pro on it. It's awesome! When I changed it up to Marksman it felt so different. One of those game play changing perks.

[@MegaWiggy123]

What some people dont know is, dead silence also mutes ur character from callouts like HEY OVER HERE SHOOT ME CAUSE IM RELOADING! and mutes noise from falling or vaulting and stuff, dunno about muting the noise when reloading or switching weapons though

[@Vordb666]

I'd recommend running Specialist in S&D with Hardline Pro, set your main third perk as Dead Silence Pro, and make SitRep Pro your first unlock. SUPER soundwhoring, plus you get to see enemy equipment.

[@CagedZebra16]

I can hear footsteps of people running dead silence with sitrep. It is faint, but it is there.

[@deejnispeejnis]

On any soft surfaces or rock surfaces, you won't be able to hear a thing. On some metal surfaces, you do hear enemy footsteps, but the volume has to be turned up very high.

[@Drift0r]

:/ I turned up the raw volume in Sony Vegas until it hurt my ears and heard nothing. That being said, my ears are rather sensitive and normally play with the TV close to mute. I couldn't hear anything, the audio profile didn't change, and the dB meter showed nothing.

[@GabiCutlac]

I can hear my footsteps too when using dead silence. At first I thought the sound is coming from other players but I tested this in a private match. I was alone and could still hear footsteps. You can barely hear it, but the sound is there.

[@JaketheB3AST]

I remember before the game came out they told us sit rep pro would paint airdrop traps on your map so friendlies wouldn't get it. So glad they changed it!!!

[@Drift0r]

I got nothing on my recording of the game audio. Or at least nothing louder than the sound of the wind blowing in the background. If the footsteps aren't muted, then they are extremely quiet.

[@dylanchevalier4738]

It's called the millimeter scanner. It detecs enemys within 20 meters of you.

[@gold3263301]

Sitrep only works if you're somewhat close to enemy equipment. It's not like Hacker in Black Ops where you can literally see every single piece of equipment the enemy has at any range, even through walls.

[@MrRockstarnailbomb]

Hey drift0r. Just wanted to point out that decibels and relative loudness are 2 different things. Although both are calculated with a log. Decibels is a literal measure of sound wave pressure. Relative loudness is the real actual measure of how loud a sound is

[@ZaxsP]

I got 2 things to say: 1) With Sitrep the distance you can see stuff varies. 2) With Steady Aim Pro I heard that is also reduces the time it take after knifing to fire again.

[@RikiazGaming]

It makes it so you cannot hear your own footsteps, Enemies and Team mates can still hear your footsteps fine.

[@TheFreakpanda]

Fun fact about marksman. You can level up it to pro with any weapon, not just sniper rifle. Just hold sprint button when you aim sights and kill people and that counts for the pro perk.

[@LwL_]

seems like you are. If you look at the icons, they go from a bottom dark green up to a bright green-yellow, while the actual icons of the perks are rather yellowish. So they just are green-yellow, but as the background is 95% green, I'd go for green.

[@Maniac9099]

You cannot see names through walls with Marksman. Normally w/o Marksman, you have to be aiming directly at a person from relatively close range to see there gamer-tag. With Marksman when you aim down sight all visible non-assassin users' gamertag pops up. THIS PERK IS AWESOME, TRUST ME!!!

[@rapcorerocks]

This is why being subbed to XboxAhoy is good. Final Stand lasts 20 seconds, Hollow Points is Stopping Power/Damage and gives a 1.40 (40%) multiplier to increase damage, Juiced gives a 1.25 (25%) multiplier towards your mobility depending on what weapon you have, and for Revenge just put it on and count the delay between each appearance (my guess is about 3-5 seconds). I can't find damage or blast radius figures for Dead Man's Hand/

[@Vordb666]

True dedicated servers, and tight lag compensation tweaking. Battlefield 3 has true dedicated servers as well, but if you'll recall, during the beta, it was very common to get shot around corners multiple times per game, or instantaneously drop from 100% to 0% health before you have a chance to shoot back. It's gotten better since then, of course, but my point is that proper netcode goes further than just dedicated servers.

[@masticatedaily1]

actually bro, Red Blue and Green are used on TV because they are additive colors describing the color spectrum from black (absence of light) using various light sources. Red, Blue and Yellow are the subtractive colors, describing the color spectrum created from dies, paints, and inks. This is interesting because with "subtractive" colors, mixing all of them makes brown/black, but mixing all the "additive" colors makes white light. I LOVE PHYSICS :D

[@muzikjunkie713]

db is a logarithmic measurement, not linear. which is why it says 4x instead of 2x louder footsteps. a doubling in volume is about +10db.

[@UkrGaz]

sitrep pro also allows you to hear enemys reloads and equipment use, its very useful perk. i am suprised nobody ever found that out!

[@gold3263301]

I think that's more reaction than anything. There'd be no other reason unless you didn't have any of those perks on. As for turning corners while in ADS, it's probably high sensitivity.

[@AvidSniper]

The perks in theory are Red Blue and Yellow because they are the primary colors. Although your tv may show them differently.

[@Mir0skies]

wow i love how tryhard the guys in the open lobby were. Strikers, Type 95's, pp90 ext. mags. ALL BEING GOLD

[@TheKillerDonuts]

TWO of the best perks.

[@gold3263301]

I'm pretty sure noice reduction on Dead Silence is 75%, like it always has been. I can still hear myself taking footsteps.

[@Jonnysea1986]

I wasn't talking about the campaign sniper rifle. There is an attachment that's a red dot that illuminates a stationary opposing player (camper) as a ghostly image in your retical.

[@DaltonsUploads]

Sitrep didnt originally hear through dead silence but unfortunately they did end up patching it so now it does its used a lot in S&D and its not hard to test in a private match to those who are skeptical

[@Drift0r]

@chaser51234 Thank you. Exams went well (for once). However, @TryHardDexter is right. @XboxAhoy 's voice is way better than mine.

[@DemonXen]

Note about SitRep: You can only see shit through one wall; if there are two or more walls between your sight and the piece of equipment, you don't get the red highlights through the wall.

[@InZax_x]

Dead silence can be heard with the good ole Astro's. Easy to hear em on GB :)

[@MirgeTreasureseeker]

Just for the right info: SitRep also shows frag grenades as red through walls, not only semtex.

[@SeanRPS]

GO WKS i fricken loved that wicked shrapnel intro :D

[@meuberepic]

i love when i see a foot or arm sticking through a wall so i can get a nice clean wallbang.

[@sunderkeenin]

Yep. Get rid of Deathstreaks overall to fix a large part of the problem. Nerf the Type95 and move Blind Eye and Assassin into to all being in the blue tier and make it so that you can't have assassin and a silencer. That'd fix almost everything.

[@sunderkeenin]

Silencers would have to be disabled unless you get assassin in specialist bonus rather than anything earlier then. The lack of silencers means you can't camp with it.

[@piepwnszmbeez]

I use marksman on all my classes, not just snipers. With SMGs and shotguns, you can see targets from longer distances, which helps EXTREMELY with controlling engagements.

[@gold3263301]

SitRep Pro doesn't mute all teammate footsteps. Again, it's probably half as loud (like enemies are twice as loud), and you can also hear your own footsteps. And, it now cancels Dead Silence, which also doesn't completely mute your own footsteps.

[@dudemanbobthing]

Boo's voice is pretty awesome too. XboxAhoy and Boo should do a duel-comm, that would be epic.

[@gold3263301]

Ghost in BO2 will only work against UAVs, no equipment or killstreak immunity (that's Cold Blooded and Blind Eye respectively)

[@gold3263301]

They're very clearly yellow in MW3. I can somewhat understand if people think they're green, because some previous games have the 3rd tier of perks green (like Black Ops), but other than the fact that their TV sucks or they're colour-blind, I don't understand how the 3rd tier perks in MW3 can be any colour other than yellow.

[@jkc877]

marksman goes great with the newly buffed LMGs that kill in 3 shots at any range

[@sunderkeenin]

Dead Man's Hand has the exact kill range of a Predator Missile. Hollow Points is 1 kill stopping power or a 40% bonus and that's all I can remember.

[@gold3263301]

All 90,000+ subscribers of his (and thousands of other people) would say otherwise. Some just like it because it's informative, not so much because it's MW3. He also does BF3 in depth, if you hate COD that much.

[@krontor98]

If a person with ghost is still for more than like, 3 seconds they are on the map. Doesn't matter if they are spinning or just switching weapons. I think this also goes with people who don't have ghost.

[@jakethebasher]

LOL, I find it amusing that you went with "Green Perks." AND OH MAN!! I wish my Xbox wasn't RROD'd right now. I really want to play with you and WickedShrapnel =/ I'll get it fixed asap!

[@Intrdmnsion]

Yeah, you can turn your headset to immense levels to hear your footsteps with Dead Silence/others with Dead Silence, but that'd be extremely dangerous to your hearing. I don't think turning the volume up to damage your hearing is worth having an advantage in a few matches.

[@ChaosCaster1998]

wow you should use the fan art of captain price as the opening for your videos! i sure the fan will be appreciated.

[@Ntomatello]

you can get 2 controllers and sit in a corner all game (HC always) 1.let player 1 sit in a spot where the enemies cant see 2.bring player 2 and lay down trophy system or another equipment repeat and you should get it in 2-3 games :)

[@sassui90]

some people including me like to switch to a more calm but still deadly combat style, stealth perks give u a lot of advantage stealth wise, but they wont make you invincible, you actually lose good offensive perks like quickdraw, stalker, quickdraw etc. gotta admit.. assassin is a bit overhand... now if you get specialist.. thats a different story lol

[@baron8107]

Stealth perks in MW3 seem a bit OP... I hope MW4 is more focused on assault playstyles, lots of noise, explosions, shrapnel, the kind of stuff that makes a game fun, or at the least chaotic...

[@Vordb666]

They appear as either yellow or green depending on the color settings of your TV/monitor.

[@iplaygamesnoob]

wicked shrapnel made my day

[@TheGeneralsZHMaster]

If you heard Dift0r earlier in the video you would have heard him say that the color depends on alot of things, your TV may be older which may make it more green and he even said on his TV he sees it green he never said anything else.

[@TehNathaniel]

You forgot to mention that the effect of Marksman only works while you're aiming down sight, but I'm sure anyone that spends a fair amount of time playing Cod already knew that.

[@Jaynesslessly]

you can see them through walls just as they enter a building, and its supposed to see enemy names at a longer distance since theres a limited range on everyone.it doesnt make their names pop up faster and the assasin thing was just stating the obvious.BTW infinity ward made this game not treyarch

[@MrStatic0990]

Hey dude for sitrep pro for the every 3DB increase in any form of sound wave the volume doubles. Don't know if you knew that already. Just when you said you math might be wrong. keep the videos coming thumbs up!

[@MrJoseph7097]

Yeah I agree with that. In addition, Im pretty sure enemy sentry guns don't glow red with sitrep either.

[@MAR00NPHOENIX]

One day I was playing MW2 and I thought to myself wouldn't it be cool if they added a perk that made it so you could move faster while aiming down sight and if you could have more perks and when I saw that they had these in MW3 I was like a kid in a candy store.

[@AntiCamperAssassins]

@i703PACMAN No, only YOU cannot hear your own footsteps or those of other teammates. Enemies still can, and teammates still can.

[@EradicateLoL]

This is why I love Drift0r. Actually fact checks all his shit.

[@atxnarf]

I do not know if anybody has mentioned it but I believe that the shotguns do not have the same ADS speed as SMGs pistols, MPs etc. Only 40% according to Den's data.

[@chienmingwang2]

love the fan art

[@nerdlydood]

I think it depends on the screen - they're yellow on my monitor, but other screens with different settings could easily show them as green.

[@jkc877]

marksman is great with the newly buffed LMGs (particularly the L86 LSW with kick, grip or thermal)

[@k0dexHDv2]

I must say. Finally some one, that says the same thing i always said. I could not hear people that use deadsilence, while i had sitreppro.

[@chillboy1996]

If I have my headset on I can hear people's footsteps who are using dead silence. I can also hear my own (if using dead silence) and that's without sitrep for both situations.

[@SkyShadow44]

If you cover proficiencies and attachments that would be fantastic. There's a few things that puzzle me, and this is a solid example: 'If you run the range proficiency with a silencer as an attachment, does that return the range of the weapon to normal? Such as balance the lost range back to average or no?'

[@crunkdragon3]

ur right. campers gonna camp whether they ruin ghost or not. bo2 is out and ive never encountered so many campers in any cod yet ghost is ruined even for rushers because the split second you slow down to check your corner or aim down sights you light up on the uav.

[@MrSomethingred]

no enemies can still hear you, you just can't hear yourself

[@ssthornx]

ahem, it is actually every color in the spectrum but our eyes only pick up the yellowish/greenish color casue it has the shortest wavelength, or whatever it is. trying to troll but epically failing at it XD. love the vid drift0r

[@iAMwReckLesss]

If only Amplify wouldn't let you hear Dead Silence users in Ghosts... S&D is ruined because of that (and the Riot Shield/Danger Close/Double C4 combo, but that's obvious...).

[@Yan.H]

he did most of them, and since they do not have pro variants their effects are pretty obvious to see and explain :)

[@hannesje2]

You can't see equipment from all over, only the close ones for sitrep. Team mate footsteps are also halved, not muted for sitrep pro.

[@Jay2097]

btw drift0r decibels arent the same amount of noise each unit. so keep in mind that double the decibels could be quadruple the noise. i dont knwo the exact formula something to do with linear and stuff. but yeah

[@SkullyGibs]

depends how you play, if you are a rusher use stalker it helps you adjust your aim and makes you harder to hit, and if you play more defensively or use things like the acr, or any low recoil ars and snipers use marksman- just a suggestion

[@Jamie95C]

If you mess around with the display settings of your tv/pc monitor you can get them green or yellow :D

[@omegazeroINFI]

in honesty, assassin has WAY too much working for it, if anything, i feel marksmen at the very least should show up if you stare at them for a period of time, but in essence, marksmen is countered entirely by assassin and many other things. yea, marksmen should do it. but i believe sitrep is gonna be one of the more used perks now currently.

[@terror11400]

You can't see people through walls with marksman, you can see trough tall grass, though...excellent perk for dropzone

[@Drift0r]

"studied" would be a more appropriate term :P

[@SINxWARLORD565]

You hear people with Dead Silence you just don't hear them as soon as you would if they didn't have Dead Silence. For example, and I'm going to make up lengths here b/c I don't know the actual specs. An enemy WITHOUT Dead Silence can be heard starting around 20 feet away from you. An enemy WITH Dead Silence won't be heard until they're about 10 feet away from you. So you can hear enemies with Dead Silence you just won't hear them until they're right up on you.

[@BANNDIT]

Drift0r! Dear heavens watch out for that bike at 3:55. It almost got you.

[@XypherFTW]

@YouGotxPwnd no. It only mutes the footsteps of you and your team for yourself. It's just to let you hear enemy footsteps better
