Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

Looks like damn Gerard Butler.

Sounds like you've made your mind up before playing the game, bud. Fair enough though if you think it is getting stale, I can sort of see your point if the campaign on this only lasts 4 hours and the multiplayer is no different. Though, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I do feel that people think it's cool to hate on the modern warfare games, however.

If you've seen footage of this game, it's not hard to tell. All the multiplayer footage from that CoD XP event was enough to tell me what id be getting...a subtly reskinned MW2. I honestly couldn't tell if it was 2 or 3 footage. I wish I was kidding. The campaign will be different, but it'll also be the same. The multiplayer will also be different but the same. It is what it is and I sure as hell ain't no hater, but for the first time in the history of this franchise, I'm not excited about the new one. That alone says a lot.

Perhaps it's "cool to hate" on MW3 because many see this years iteration as a weak entry? It doesn't take much to satisfy the COD fans. Im one of them, so i know. The fact that so many are criticizing should be a sign to Activision that they need to try harder and stop milking this great franchise every year.

I don't "hate" on MW3. Hell, I'm going to buy it. Doesn't mean I don't recognize that the series is getting stale. I don't say that because it's "cool" to. I say it because it's the way I feel. I've been a fan of the series since 1 and I've thought that all of the Infinity Ward games brought something different to the table. MW3 is the first time where I don't believe that.

This is the mandatory annual cash-in without the real Infinity Ward at the helm and it shows. They simply took what IW did in MW2 and did as little as possible to call it a sequel. I'm sorry if that hurts any diehard fans to hear it, but everyone else sees it as it is. This is a .5 game if ever there was one...outside of the sports franchises of course.

I'll be getting it and I'm sure I'll have fun with it though. I enjoyed MW2, so I know I'll enjoy this.

I totally agree. I would be booking the day off work to get this probably at midnight. Im now waiting to see the reviews but have a pretty good idea of how they will read. I may leave this until christmas when the price drops as there are so many great games on the way. Since modern warfare 1, the series hasn't gone forward for me in all aspects. I feel it worked better when treyarch and infinity ward switched from old war to new as it kinda kept things fresh. I really hope im pleasantly suprised with this but from the in game video's iv seen, it looks very much more of the same. For some thats great but for me, it will be another good shooter thats lost its magic.

They upped the game so much in MW1 that it was a standing point in shooters. It changed everything. They need to go back to the drawing board like they did with that game. Create something new and different then they ever have. I was kinda excited about the rumors that the next COD from IW was gonna be set in the future. They just have themselves on repeat and only improve on the gameplay not the mechanics. Pretty soon COD is gonna be a Pay 4 Play service, their gonna scrap all the campaign stuff and make it online only. The campaign has become "back of the box" bullet point. Whereas the campaign in MW1 was more then half the reason to get it.

I love the COD franchise but I think that two Modern Warfares was enough. I was never excited about another MW after #2, it's old and boring to me.

I was really impressed by what Treyarch did w/ Black Ops and I personally preferred that game to any other COD. Treyarch's pattern also seems to change things up a lot more than Infinity Ward, so I think Treyarch's next COD game will be much fresher than Infinity Ward's.

Treyarch certainly seems to put everything they've got into their games. I just never like them that much. Theres something about their net code or programming that seems off to me.

The hit detection just feels random and I eventually had to stop playing BLOPS because of it. I never know what's going to happen when I shoot someone in that game. Between the lag, spotty hit detection, high recoil and bullet spread, it's a miracle you can kill anyone. Some games, I beast and others, I can't seem to hit the broad side of a barn.

The thing that really grated me about black ops is that they went way overboard with the customisation. It worked fairly well with the modern warfare's but It just got really silly watching the kill cam of you getting shot buy a guy with a tattooed gun with a smiley sight. I actually didn't mind wow as it required skill without all the modern perks of the new cod games today. Its a great game if you arrange a deathmatch with a load of friends in your own room but other than that, it feels dated now. It actually annoys me because the developers know they will sell a shed load regardless and wrap up another cod for a another year. It deserves better.

The thing is even with its steady gameplay, the graphics and general running of the game always improved but if you seriously look some in game action from modw3, you could argue its a map pack from 2 games back. I really do hope im surprised when it comes out as I loved the series all those years. And your right, the campaign on mod1 is still now one of the best single player games iv played. I will be getting this. I just hope its on launch because infinity ward has pulled the series back and not just out of interest at a later date.

Is that the Elite thingy or MW3 itself?

 

[farrrs]

Gotcha, but you are paying for all the other CODS too, so the servers should be better on them

[snappahead]

Yah! Killstreaks for everyone! It's going to be a hot mess. Fun, but a mess.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

hmm...that was interesting. I like the idea of the different streaks catering to different ways people play.

 

[nash]

Sounds like one big cluster____ of bull____ like we've never seen before.

Glad I've got BF3 to keep me busy. F all these ghey killstreak crap.

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]

this is going to be so awsome !!

I cant ____ing wait.

day one for me.

 

[jonny88]

So kill streaks for everyone, sounds stupid to me. You keep your kill streak even after you die, don't like the sound of this. I hope they aren't going to start moving in the direction where retarded noobs will be right there with the gamers because everything is tailored to help them or make it easier to keep up.

If you keep your streaks then their will be choppers, airstrikes and everything all the time and it will get overwhelming and stupid in no time. Guess we will have to wait and see.

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

Did he really just say at 8 kills you have every perk... turning you into a super solider? What a joke . . . everyone can do that. Just goes to show how their catering to camping noobs. This is gonna suck donkey ____ like all CODs have after the first MW.

So glad there is battlefield 3.

Quick question, does anyone know if this will have a training mode like BO? I liked playing that when I felt bored but didn't feel like going online. I like going all relaxed shooting dummies in the face at times instead of the actual MP action.
