Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

Unfortunately, that's been a Treyarch trademark. They make pretty good games and have some good ideas, but they screw themselves with busted code.

I don't remember WAW being like that. In fact it was pretty solid IMO.

IMO they should forget about god damn pumping these sequels out and perfect what we paid good money for. Especially with all these DLCs which are almost sort of required to get the full enjoyment out of multiplayer. With how many COD titles they still can't fix the ____ing net code to make online multiplayer enjoyable and playable.

stop being so ____ing cheap and just create dedicated servers already! give us what we all deserve for making you billions activision. if EA can do dedicated servers with BF3 there is absolutely NO REASON why you guys can't. ____ing _____es.

WAW was and still is one of my favs, it's just getting harder and harder to get into a clean game that isn't hacked. As for busted code, I'm not sure if that is the best way to explain the problems or problem with WAW (modded controller spamming single shot rifles and MP40). Treyarch should have nerfed the MP40 when they realized the problem was there but they didn't and honestly it doesn't make the game unplayable in my eyes. I combat it with a fast trigger finger and/or out playing the opposition. WAW was a solid game from the single player down to the multiplayer...end of story.

This has been an argument since the days of COD 2. At least they incorporated host migration into the newer games. There was nothing worse then having a good game disappear because the host quit. Many of the problems with the multiplayer in the COD series could be addressed by having dedicated servers. Hell, even Homefront has dedicated servers. For those of you that haven't tried out Homefront, do yourself a favor and pick it up. I've seen it sell used for as low as $10. Solid game!

It actually was notorious for it's spotty hit detection. I didn't play WaW much online though, so I can't testify to that. Its just the rep that Treyarch has developed.

I actually went backwards in that MW2 got so stupid, I went back to WAW and prestiged a few more times before I quit playing it. I agree with Nash, we've given them more money than they should ever spend, it is time they do US a solid and do something different. Something that makes you excited like a kid at Christmas I guess, to want to hurry up at what ever you were doing to get home and play.

 

[snappahead]

Yeah, you won't find too many people who will argue against dedicated servers....unless you aak the cheap ____s at Activision. Considering that CoD is one of only two franchises they have that makes them billions and they no doubt plan to milk it for the next forever, servers seem like a sound investment. From their perspective...why bother? They're breaking records every year without them.

Yeah, you would think though eventually people will get tired of the crap and walk away for good, I'm to that point with gears, the only reason I play is to play with my friends. I just hope Cod doesn't do that. We will see, I don't expect much from the next one. Didn't they say IW is working on a " next gen cod"?

I was at that point after Gears 2. That game's online was so craptastic I couldn't stand thinking about Gears for the longest time. Then, the online beta for 3 came out and it made it look promising enough for me to buy it.

It's just not the same, the first gears was awesome!! Every night all night!! I didn't play cod4 that much but from what I hear it had the same effect on people. I just wish they would find that luster again.

We keep voting with our dollar. I complain about lag, no real improvements and whatnot, but still buy them.

That makes sense. I still think we'll see the new consoles in the fall of '13. I could be wrong, but it wouldn't surprise me, so it stands to reason that IW is working on a "next gen" CoD. Maybe, just maybe they'll actually create a new engine and not just put polish on this dusty ol' game. Hey, I can dream. It was a great engine, but man...it's time for something new.

I couldn't get into Gears multiplayer. Horde can be a lot of fun sometimes though.

 

[magman3]

Played a few games last night but no one was online. I think I played literally like 4 games and then jumped off.

That's how it goes for me too. Just don't enjoy playing alone. I've been obsessed wit Kingdoms of Amalur this week, but I'll probably be back to CoD and BF3 soon.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

sorry, I've been playing Black Ops with my brother lately. I also started playing Resident Evil Revelations. Then I still have my backlog:
Skyrim
Uncharted 3
Assassin's Creed
Splinter Cell HD collection

I have a 4 day weekend coming up, and besides completing Resident Evil I'll jump online to play some MW3 with you guys.

 

[magman3]

I just started playing Gears 3 which so far is great! I've still got to finish up Mass Effect 2 and Gotham City Impostors is taking up some free time too...oh did I mention I just started playing Uncharted 3? I visited a friend this weekend that sent home Gears 3 and Uncharted 3 and insisted that I play both. I just plan to run through both quickly but I may end up buying a copy of Gears for myself.

 

[gotham_collector87]

Gears 3 is a badass game, didnt really care for the multiplayer part but a lot of people seem to really enjoy it.

 

[snappahead]

Yah, Gears 3 was an awesome game. I had a blast with the co-op, but Gears multi just doesn't do anything for me.

 

[magman3]

I don't care much for 3rd person multiplayer games. I tried the multiplayer in Uncharted and I just couldn't get into it.

Same here. Another thing those two have in common is bullet sponge. Two MILLION bullets to kill somebody. I hate that.

I never did understand that. A head shot is a headshot, but minus a sniper rifle shot it would always take several bullets to get a kill in Gears' games.
