[RoXer]

I don't think anyone here who hasn't played with me understands how good I am with the riot shield. I honestly wish there was the theatre system in MW2.

I may not fire a bullet in this game, I haven't decided.

[Kalyx triaD]

They should have Captain America edition riot shield DLC. Complete with boomerang toss. 1200msp.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm serious.

[LoDownM]

If this MOAB stuff is true, I don't know why they would make it give off an EMP, it's just a really really really big normal bomb.

[El Fangel]

That is something that plagues me: Even if we're not a unit, I expect some semblance of common sense. There were times when I'd click with a bunch of randoms and magic happens. But usually, I yell "What the hell are they doing!"

Did that a few times on Battlefield yesterday.

All of this.

Copies of the game I leaked. Most interesting thing I saw was that there is apparently a hidden killstreak called the M.O.A.B., which kills every member of the opposing team once and puts an EMP on them for the remainder of the match. Apparently it's 25 kills, and other killstreaks don't count towards it.

I really hoped you were lying but sadly,

Well fuck. Just when the game got me interested.

Looks like I wont be picking this up then, might get BF3 instead now.

[Blitz]

Is everyone in this thread serious right now.

[El Fangel]

And I gotta give Roxer mad props at playing CTF.

[El Fangel]

Is everyone in this thread serious right now.

Well given how much "fun" the nuke made the last one. I'd say yeah, I am.

[RoXer]

Serious. Not going to press the right trigger once.

[G]

fallen angel will be playing this within 1 month of release. would say 1 week but a month is enough time for him to feel really lonely because everyone is playing this

[Blitz]

Well given how much "fun" the nuke made the last one. I'd say yeah, I am.
It's not a nuke. It doesn't end the match. It gives whoever uses it 6 kills and EMPs the other team for the rest of the match, which, if you've let someone get 25 kills not counting killstreaks, ain't gonna be that long in any case.

Seriously. Focus on that last line. 25 kills, not counting killstreaks. How many people do you suppose got a nuke in MW2 via 25 honest-to-God kills, without using harriers/hinds/chopper gunner/whatever?

It could be match ending, but only because if you let the other team actually get it, they'll have about 7000 points to your 1200.

Yes, yes, you're worried about boosters. Always a problem. IW is supposed to be watching them more this time around. And btw, everything I just said, and everything that's been posted is based on sketchy info from leaks. For all we know, it could only be available in custom gametypes or private matches or something.

Just saying, I wish people would wait for a little more info before they go off on "MOAR NUKES IW I HATE YOU MOST BROKEN GAME EVARRRRRRRRRRR~!!" tirades

[El Fangel]

I agree with everything you said there Blitz.

I just want to say one thing, IW has done nothing to earn my trust.

[LoDownM]

I'm not even worried about the MOAB, I got nuked once in MW2.

[D Mac]

I'm still buying on release. So I guess I'll have to find another clan or some shit since Blitz is the only other TPWWer getting this.

[D Mac]

I'm probably the only one that's also interested in the single player campaign. It looks badass.

I'm interested in it, I wanna see how the Makarov storyline ends.

[Blitz]

I'm probably the only one that's also interested in the single player campaign. It looks badass.
Nah. Big reason I went with this over BF3 is because I know campaign will be awesome.

[D Mac]

Soooo from that IGN video they played a lot of Spec Ops Survival and it looks like mad fun. I can easily get into it way more then I could zombies.

[El Fangel]

This game has single player???!!!

[Captain of Fun]

I'm still buying on release. So I guess I'll have to find another clan or some shit since Blitz is the only other TPWWer getting this.


Saved a bunch of money today buying a winter coat. Got hooked up enough where I can buy Modern Warfare at launch, and still get Saints Row.

Well not at launch, but on the 10th. You me and Blitz will tear it up. Maybe Funky's bro too.

[RoXer]

I am invisible I guess

IGN:

A leaked copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has been sold on eBay for $1,725.

Unauthorized copies of the game were mistakenly released into the wild this week, when a retailer placed the game on sale. MW3 is not due to be officially released until November 8th.

One copy of the game was placed on eBay and has been picked up for nearly 29 times the retail price of the game. It received a total of 88 bids.

But early play may carry an additional price. Xbox Live's Director of Policy and Enforcement for Stephen Tolouse warned that playing the game online pre-release could result in a ban. He tweeted, "Pre-release play not authorized. Please be patient. Playing early may impact your account!"

In other news (SPOILER ALERT) a leaked video from the game has appeared online showing a scene likely to cause controversy in the days ahead. The scene portrays the death of a child in a central London terrorist attack.

[Crimson]

People waste money on anything..hope that person goes bankrupt

[Emperor Smeat]

IW showed off how the whole CoD Elite and social features actually work in the game.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BFZQoQct--U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Kalyx triaD]

Halo Waypoint/Bnet essentially. Not complaining, just seemed obvious. Hope more games do that.

[Emperor Smeat]

Walmart holding a launch tournament for MW 3 at 2700 stores starting at 8pm on November 7.

Walmart is also giving away the choice of a free CoD Elite t-shirt or MW 3 patch for all copies bought at the store.
http://www.screwattack.com/news/wal-mart-hosting-mw3-tournament-2700-locations


CoD Elite was also delayed for the PC with the main problem of Activision calling the platform "insecure" in terms of hacking for stats. No date on when it will actually arrive on the PC but the console versions of Elite will launch on time.

The issue here is that the PC is an insecure platform. Without a central, trusted resource for stats, a lot of our competition features become unfair. We can’t give away prizes when people can easily cheat their stats. Leaderboards are less fun when a lot of the users are there unfairly."

[El Fangel]

Alot? You mean the vast majority?

[D Mac]

My copy is bought and paid for, all I have to do is pick it up at Gamestop at Midnight launch. :cool:

[The Pope]

I want to see how the Kill Confirmed mode works out as well as the customization of local matches. Who's getting this on launch date?

[Captain of Fun]

Getting it on the 10th so don't look for me til then.

[Blitz]

I'll have it on launch.

[LoDownM]

The PS3 version will be in my house at launch, I probably won't get anytime on it till Tuesday night tho. Will probably be to tired, plus have stuff to do Tuesday.

Grabbing this after work tomorrow afternoon.

Probably won't be doing some serious playing until friday.

[G]

got no work tomorrow, so i have all day to "kill these bitches"

[Ermaximus]

You know it's bad when your entire staff decides to troll the CoD fanboys.

Working the midnight launch tonight for CoD, in a mall store mind you, and the 8 of us working tonight are all wearing Battlefield 3 shirts to the launch of this game. It's likely going to cause a major bitchfest, but my boss is all for and so are we.

[ClockShot]

Nice.

[Emperor Smeat]

Install sizes revealed with the non-mandatory sizes being just 50 MB on the PS3 and 4.7 GB for a full install on the Xbox 360.

The actual mandatory size for the PS3 version wasn't revealed though.

If anyone complains, back of the line. :y:

I'm over in the States just now - saw like 20 people queuing outside a pretty small Gamestop at around 6:30pm, presumably for this. Seems a bit sad, really.

[G]

Can't believe I seriously thought about waiting 11 hours in line for a Wii.

[El Fangel]

Decided I won't be getting this, at least right away.

[Captain of Fun]

Having second thoughts as well. The time I have to play online isn't what it used to be. Dunno if It'd be worth it. Might be better off using the money toward something else.

[FearedSanctity]

My boss worked out a trade with the guys at GameStop a couple doors down from us. They claimed other stores had "donated" pizza to other GameStops in the city but he refused to just hand over free food. So instead they paid for 6 pizzas and got 16, and he got MW3 at 8pm. Didn't see him again after the pizzas were delivered.

[Blakeamus]

Had some people BBQing it up at one Game Stop. Walked by around the shopping center at 8:30 and GameStop displayed their TV w/ the PS3 console outside and witness a few 1v1 gaming of MW3...looks identical to MW2

[El Fangel]

Here is the reason I am not going to pick up this game for the first bit at least.

As you probably know if you ever seen me in a CoD thread, you know I play MP competitively and to test my skill and see where I place against other people who play.

But when the leaderboards are hacked and the a lot of the ones who didn't hack their stats used glitches and cheats you really can't measure yourself properly.

So I guess you play for a good K/D ratio or Win/Loss record (yeah, there might be 3-4 people out there who try for this) Blitz or someone will quote this message saying I am flipping out when I am only stating the reasons I do not wish to purchase it. A large argument will ensue telling me to not buy and how the person never sees any cheating at all.
The problem with this is, if I wanted to put my K/D over 5.0 at the start, it would only be as simple as starting a domination game and spamming a capture point for kills by camping and killing anymore who comes along or at least that was the way in MW2.

About the only real measure is Win/Loss ratio and K/D ratio together but the problem with that is, you can still be a wretched player who plays on good teams and look good because of it.

So with no real concrete measure of how good you are at the game, really I would only be playing it to pass the time as the end goal of hitting the end of prestige is not much of a goal but an indication of how much time you spent playing (Or in most cases, where you found the hack)

I love playing online with people, it is fun but I really do not see the point in spending $70 on a game which given past history will be broken and full of cheating and glitches given that its Activision.

[RoXer]

How are you just now coming to this realization?

And not just about call of duty. Video games in general.

[RP]

Probably getting this for the box in a couple weeks.

[El Fangel]

With CoD, you can compare absolutely nothing to any other person unless you know them personally and know they didn't cheat to get what they have. That is what I am trying to say here.

I suppose you CAN compare amongst your friends to see how good you are and that I think would be the sole reason I would purchase this game I think.

As for games in general, Yes, they are only past times but with single player/multiplayer offline stories the goal is the completion of the story and enjoying what you are doing along the way.

There is a less gratifying feeling when it comes to getting golden guns in BlOps because alot of people had them and you werent sure if it was due to skill or hacking.

[LoDownM]

lol @ the idea of getting gold guns/doing prestige takes any skill what so ever. All it takes is time FA. The worst Black Ops player in the world could of gotten to their 14th prestige.

[El Fangel]

Yes, eventually.

My point is, how do you measure how good you are at this game? Since Activision has historically done little to nothing to deter cheaters.

[LoDownM]

It's like I never even stopped playing Call of Duty two months ago. First game I go 23-9 :cool:

Played some survival before I called it quits. Gonna spend a lot of time on it, love it.

[El Fangel]

I am asking this because I wish to know. Was there anything you had problems with?

[LoDownM]

Kill Confirmed in ground war. The AK-47 not being unlocked till like rank 78 or some ridiculous shit. Only played for 45 minutes or so, gonna have to play more first.

[El Fangel]

How does Kill Confirmed work?

Also, booooo on not getting the AK to start.

[Blitz]

K been playing for the last 4 and a half hours or so. It's good. Spent a bit of time with campaign and it's suitably epic, I look forward to finishing it.

Multiplayer...I don't know quite how to describe it. Obviously it's COD. But there's a different, more customizable feel. It's tough to talk about play patterns when the game has only been out a few hours, but right now I feel like stealth perks are almost indispensable. UAVs are everywhere. And the reason for that is, support strike package all the way. Assault strike package feels almost useless unless you're really good at stringing kills without dying. There's some pretty good stuff in the support one. Expect to see A LOT of advanced UAVs. I shudder to think what a really good, co-ordinated team can do with this new style. Would be scary.

Ummmmm....Stalker and Recon are pretty useful perks. UMP with Blind Eye/Quick Draw/Stalker is my go to class at the moment. Not much to say about the maps yet, they're all sort of blending together still. But yeah overall, I'm definitely digging it. Could see it becoming my favourite COD.

And no Fallen Angel, I haven't noticed any gamebreaking glitches.

[D Mac]

Got it, like it. Survival Mode is mad fun. The first level of Campaign was fucking badass. Lots of customizable shit in MP. I like Kill Confirmed. This game should hold my attention well into next year.

[D Mac]

Read on IGN that 6000 copies of this were stolen in an armed robbery in France. Wow.

[RoXer]

Thank you for your purchase from Amazon.com. It is our pleasure to let you know that you have earned a $25 credit toward the purchase a Xbox LIVE 12 Month Gold Membership.

[Kris P Lettus]

How coveted is Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3? Enough for thieves to hijack a delivery truck loaded with 6,000 copies of the game, tear gas the inside of the truck and disable the innocent drivers. Man, Modern Warfare 3 is going to be huge when it launches tomorrow.
UltimatePS3.fr reports that the robbery happened on Saturday morning in south Paris's Créteil and was performed by two masked thieves.

The total value of the the 6,000 copies of Modern Warfare 3 is reported to be worth about 400,000 Euros. There has yet to be any report on what platform the stolen copies of Modern Warfare 3 were for. They could have been for PS3, or Xbox 360 or both.

If you happen to live in Créteil, you might find yourself without a copy tomorrow, even if you pre-ordered. It's kind of hard to replace 6,000 stamped discs in just a few days.

Just to be safe, even if you do manage to get a copy of Modern Warfare 3 early for Xbox 360, you might want to hold off on playing it because it could get you banned on Xbox Live.

And while playing legitimate copies of Modern Warfare 3 ahead of the tomorrow's official release date could get you in hot water, I've confirmed independently from my own sources that pirated copies of the game are already out there and being played on Xbox 360 consoles not connected to the Internet without any problems.

As they say, you'll sleep easier knowing you're legit. Do the right thing and don't buy pirated copies and definitely don't buy any goods that "fell of the back of a truck."

[Blitz]

Detructoid gives it a 9.5. The ensuing shitstorm in the comments reminds me why I've never had any desire to post at Destructoid.

[El Fangel]

Are they saying it should be a 10.

[Blakeamus]

I heard another interesting story that some dude had used up his bank account, which was roughly 1,000 dollars and bought $1,000 worth of MW3 games and was selling copies for more than the regular price. Bought a new vehicle with the money. Don't know if this is legit, but quite interesting.

[The Jayman]

9.6

[Blitz]

Are they saying it should be a 10.
Everyone pissed that the score is so high (higher than BF3).

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Detructoid gives it a 9.5. The ensuing shitstorm in the comments reminds me why I've never had any desire to post at Destructoid.

Jim Sterling has started reviewing everything and generally just trolling. I have no idea if this is better than BF3 or not, but I'd never trust his reviews to be honest. Everything he does is for reaction and he used to be funny, but he bought into his own hype and everything he posts now is 50+ comments of complaining usually.

Stay away from the Jim stories and it's fine. The chat on the homepage is alright too, bar a couple of douches.

[Kalyx triaD]

Ah here comes the review score war. Fucking gamers.

[El Fangel]

Just found out that our local EB gave an extra $5 towards CoD if you traded in BF lol.

[DS]

What? Let's do some quick math.

1,000 copies / $60 per copy ~ 16 copies of the game.
I'm assuming by new you mean a new vehicle and not just new to him. So let's say it was around $20,000.

$20,000 car / 16 copies = $1,250 per game.

Nope.

[DS]

Also, why isn't this just in the MW3 thread and why would you quote something without sourcing it?

[Kris P Lettus]

This isn't just about MW3 though.. It's more along the lines of piracy in the gaming world..

Why do I have to source it??

It was the first thing that popped on google, along with all the other stories stating the same thing..

Do you think I made this up??

[Kris P Lettus]

No wonder this forum is full of virgin nerds..

HEY GUYS THIS SHOULD HAVE GONE IN VIDEO GAME NEWS

It might matter if grenades were anything like last game. I think I've been killed by explosives once.

[Requiem]

I don't want to turn this into an argument at all, but after hearing that you didn't experience some of the most glaring issues (issues that large groups of people complained about) in MW2, I can't help but take everything you say about this game with a HUGE grain of salt. :-\

Also, a bit hard to tell what issues the game might potentially have since it just came out. Dunno, don't really want to discuss it at length or anything cause I'm still not going to buy it. Just got Dark Souls, Skyrim coming out, playing BF3 too. Definitely isn't a game on my agenda.

[RP]

I seriously don't understand how someone can come in here and talk about refusing to play a game.

1) no one gives a fuck about your opinion. Its based on hearsay and you don't know what you're talking about.

2) you have nothing to add to the conversation. You're not stopping me from getting the game. I form my own opinions thank you. So why the fuck are you even coming to the thread?


That said. Played this for four hours today at a friends and I loved it. Can't wait to get it.

[Requiem]

Cool story. I was worried you couldn't think for yourself.

[DS]

Taking Requiem's advice, I too will be refusing to play this now.

Do you think Activision pays me to come here and say good things about the game or something? I have no vested interest in anyone here buying this. I'm just telling you what I saw. Tubes aren't close to what they used to be. They're weaker, and there's too many other more useful options.

[Captain of Fun]

Interesting.

While skimming over the videogame forum, I notice that I have posted in threads about games I am interested in, and did not post in threads about games I am not interested in.

What a novel concept.

[LoDownM]

First gold gun already. Thank you double xp from the prestige shop

does double xp work for just kill points and such, or for challenges as well

[Savio]

I got this and played it for an hour....not because it is bad but my girl is deciding to blast madonna for 4 hours strait in the same room.

[Savio]

you mean for each mode of play? CTF, TDM, etc? thats gay

[G]

I'm disappointed ricochet didn't return

[RoXer]

90% of the maps are pretty awful

[LoDownM]

you mean for each mode of play? CTF, TDM, etc? thats gay

I mean how to unlock say, Flak Jacket Pro in Black Ops you had to go into like HQ and planet bombs to unlock it. None of that crap in this.

[El Fangel]

ARGHHH That still incites rage in me.

Getting Flak Jacket Pro was the most hateful thing you had to do to get a Pro Version.

[El Fangel]

90% of the maps are pretty awful

Also, Since I hold Roxers opinion in high esteem, this really sways me in my decision.

What is so bad about them?

[Splaya]

I have thoroughly enjoyed the game so far, dunno about you guys

[RoXer]

Also, Since I hold Roxers opinion in high esteem, this really sways me in my decision.

What is so bad about them?They are absolutely way too small. Even the larger maps aren't big enough. It could be because everyone is new and hasn't learned the maps yet (and they're also really stupid) but I am constantly running into and getting stuck behind two teammates. I'll go the other way and I'll run into two more. I wait for them to cross a threshold and they get killed by two enemies. They're not "dynamic" enough in that there is hardly any high ground. Most of it is on a flat plane with the only elevation changes being two story buildings.

One small gripe Requiem had with a few of the maps in Black Ops were the small areas of "wasted space". The wasted space in these maps blow the ones in Blops out of the water. It is so stupid and unnecessary. There are also not enough climb-ables in the game. Cant climb on a dumpster, can't climb on pallets, can't climb into the hollowed out jet engine in the airplane hanger. Which is essentially, more wasted space.

BUT, on that flip side, perhaps they made these maps this way so that you're constantly in action. With the new killstreak system, there's always shit going down and everyone has a killstreak up their sleeve to counter someone else's. It can get a bit hectic at times.

If you're a COD vet, you can figure out these changes within a few games. Whether or not you can adapt is up to you. Personally, I don't really like the multiplayer on here and I won't be spending as much time in it as I did others. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying it's not for me.

And I don't think it would be for you either, Fallen Angel. My recommendation to you would be to not buy it.

That said, I can't wait to play with you in about a week.

[El Fangel]

I plan on getting it Thursday. Whether or not I still have it Monday is dependent entirely up to how it goes.

[D Mac]

I'm having fun, and that's all that fucking counts.

[alvarado52]

So far I have no complaints. I think the game is pretty balanced, the maps are smaller enough to keep pace high, and that's why I choose cod over battlefield. Nothing wrong with bf, i just know comparing the two is apples and oranges, and i enjoy the "on your toes" pace of the modern warfare.

[D Mac]

You never answered me. Is Elite Premium worth a shit.

[OssMan]

Disappointed that people are buying this.

[Savio]

You never went into a match where you were bombarded with air support from start to finish? :eek:
Nah, only within a realistic time for people to actually build up the killstreaks to get the air support rewards.

I probably did run into people boosting and stuff though.

Finished campaign. Was awesome, but the end felt extremely abrupt.

Disappointed that people are buying this.

Yeah, me too. Never saw the infinite air strike and car package glitches.

There's nothing wrong with the maps. Don't know what Roxer is on about.

[RoXer]

Playing through the campaign and I see magazines with a "Bearded Man Invents Time Travel" headline. Could be a reference to later COD games and their setting in the future.

[RoXer]

Can someone find me a list of titles and emblems because I don't feel like googling.

[Blitz]

There's nothing wrong with the maps. Don't know what Roxer is on about.
They aren't the best maps of the series. The urban ones in particular all seem to sort of run together. I do like the fact that they're a bit smaller though.

[G]

The maps are okay at best right now. I'm sure it's because I don't know my way around yet and get completely lost.

[Emperor Smeat]

Found a partial list of what people have unlocked so far but not a whole list since that might take some time because the game just came out and nobody wants to post the entire list.

Just played a couple rounds with some buddies of mine.

First round all of our opponets were up to level 30 at least. 1 guy was up in the 60's.

Go outside and take a breath of fresh air. It's good for you.

Early sales numbers came in and Modern Warfare 3 almost tripled the Day 1 sales of Battlefield 3 (about 3.5 million) and almost doubled BF 3 week one sales (5 million) with 9.3 million copies sold on Day 1.

It ended up becoming the new Day 1 record and also held the record for pre-orders at 6.5 million.

Activision also promised about twenty DLC packs will be made for MW 3 with about 1-2 packs per month and the majority revolving around Spec-Ops and multiplayer maps.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

That's great, maybe after 61 of your posts in this thread (more than anyone else) we can finally get to the bottom of whether you will buy this game or not.

Perhaps looking back maybe 5 of those posts you will see that I plan on buying it tomorrow.

You realize if you prestiged in the past 4 games, you could get 8 hours of double xp from the second you started MW3 right? I played for less then an hour launch night and was lvl20 because of it.

So you could have spared everyone those 60 posts worth of bitching about the CoD games when you were obviously always just going to buy it anyway? Poor.

I'll probably get it on PS3 around Christmas, I'm in no rush. It probably would be good to have it on X-Box maybe and hear your high-pitched squeals of fury.

No, I was debating with myself whether to get it or not. I figure, get it, try it now and if I don't like it then I could sell it for near what I paid.

Seriously, its humorous the jabs you take sometimes. Do you sit there like some smug cunt thinking "oh that was clever, perhaps someone will rep me with a lol" after all your posts or are you just that much of a cunt to begin with?

I do not understand this argument. No one is forcing you to buy DLC. If you don't, you aren't losing anything. There's no penalty.

[El Fangel]

I agree no one is forcing me to buy it, but when the people you play with bitch and moan that you don't, its annoying.

Also, it turns a $70 game into a $120 game which is just insane since not even a year later you likely won't ever play it again.

[El Fangel]

Can someone explain this Kill Confirmed thing a bit? I just watched my cousin play via commentary on a recording but he didnt touch on the Kill Confirmed.

I worry as I snipe alot and hope I don't have to run to the other side of the map to confirm it.

[LoDownM]

Red dog tags stop the other team from getting points, gold ones give your team points. You still get points for kills, your teams score doesn't increase from the kill, only from picking up gold dog tags.

Your first statement is a valid point. I play with friends every oppurtunity I can. If there truly is that much dlc on the way, then it is doubtful that everyone in your group of friends will have all the same maps. In fact it's unlikely that even two of you will. Unless you coordinate with friends what you are all buying.


The fact that COD is a yearly title doesn't affect the value, considering unlike most series, a new sequel does not mean people will stop playing the previous game. It is still just as easy to find games in MW1 and even World at War, as it is in more recent entries.

[Captain of Fun]

Also, I played this at a friend's house, and I agree with roxer. I suppose it's not something you would notice as much if you don't use high ground that often, but it's a big part of my play style, so it's definitely off putting for me.

I still like the game overall, and will likely buy it, but it's no longer a priority for me.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

I do not understand this argument. No one is forcing you to buy DLC. If you don't, you aren't losing anything. There's no penalty.

Obviously no one is forcing me to buy it and I'm not going to. What I dislike is being told from the outset that this game is basically planning to release more parts of it over the next year. I would rather buy the entire game at the outset because it is already expensive enough. I don't like the idea that they have held back parts to wring even more money out of people. I also would prefer they work on ironing out any bugs they have shipped the game with, rather than on more ways to get customers to shell out. Match-making had serious diffs in both MW2 and Blops and the DLC added to it, in my opinion.

[Captain of Fun]

When it comes to DLC, I agree with this when the game seems to skimp out on content on release and charges for more later. This is not the case here. MW3 has tons of content, and is worth every penny.

Sometimes devs act shady and hold back on content that they could put on disc before release.

Most of the time though, it is budget and time restrictions that keep them from putting things on the disc. They tell you from the outset because the content is mostly completed, but getting it on disc would be unfeasible due to the previously mentioned constraints.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Well that's good to know, I'll probably get it around Christmas like I say. But I guess my problem is that the whole idea of paying out money to have different levels of customer isn't appealing and could impact on the multiplayer experience, which is the sole reason I get these games, and the sounds of having DLC pretty much monthly is worrying.

Also I'd rather developers took their time to make completed games. I understand bugs are inevitable but I'd rather they gave vague deadlines for themselves and got the game out as complete and slick as possible, but that's a tired old debate.

[Blitz]

I agree no one is forcing me to buy it, but when the people you play with bitch and moan that you don't, its annoying.
There is a way to turn DLC off when playing, isn't there? So if 2 people have it but one doesn't, everyone can play together?

Can someone explain this Kill Confirmed thing a bit? I just watched my cousin play via commentary on a recording but he didnt touch on the Kill Confirmed.

I worry as I snipe alot and hope I don't have to run to the other side of the map to confirm it.
Sniping is not ideal on Kill Confirmed, but it is possible. Just requires more co-ordination among the team. Obviously you can't pick up the tags, but anyone else on your team who gets them confirms the kill. And you get the points from it as well.

[El Fangel]

Blitz, The game reverts down the list of DLC until it finds the map pack everyone has in common with the basic one being default. I don't believe you can turn it off, but you can delete and redownload it.

I did that with BlOps mappack that I didn't enjoy.

ECG, you would think a company who puts out a game every other year would want to keep their fan base happy by ensuring the multiplayer is fun, balanced and bug free. MW2 had a lot of bugs and glitches months after release. Call me a whiner but until they prove they can release a good game instead of a rushed buggy mess I am not giving them the benefit of the doubt. I'm just hoping they realize past mistakes.

I believe IW never really bothered modifying or tweaking their engine besides some patch fixing nor did they ever used the modifications Treyarch did to the engine for World at War and Black Ops.

It didn't mean that Treyarch's version of the engine was that much better but the same problems from MW 1 ended up occurring in MW 2 and MW 3. They also believed it would have been impossible for Treyarch to tweak the engine to make it work on non-HD consoles or even add extra modes like Zombie maps until Treyarch proved them wrong.

Why?
The call of duty series is nothing more than a cash cow. They push out a new, flawed game every year knowing there will be huge sales, with plans to publish more in game content that people will buy. If consumers were aware of this, then they would not buy the game and these seedy business procedures would cease.

They were both sidekicks on the American Forces side. I didn't notice either of them not because their voicework is bland or unnoticeable, but because they didn't have enough lines in the game.

Except for Sandman who was voiced by William Fitcher (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001209/). He has plenty of lines but even his voice got by me. Maybe I just don't pay enough attention.

Don't you play madden? Cause that sounds exactly like Madden as well.

Also, I am aware of everything you just said. In fact I'm fairly sure most adults who buy the game are aware. We just don't care.

I find the game fun, so I buy it. It's that simple.

[OssMan]

Yeah I mean whatever. If I played it I would probably have just as much fun as I had playing the other two games so I would just stick with those if I still had them. And noh I haven't bought a Madden game since 2008 I think.

IW isn't going to keep anything in that treyarch creates. They are building off the Modern Warfare games, not the treyarch ones.

[El Fangel]

Alright, have played this for an hour so far and I have to say I love almost everything about this game, but a few things I want to say that I don't like so far. And before anyone decides to go all "Fallen Angel is being a whiny twat" I just said I love everything except these few things"

- Type 95 - I know I was killed a ridiculous amount by the gun, the hipfire is ridiculous and it seems like a cross between the FAMAS and the G11. I think they will nerf this in the first patch honestly.

- I see Heart Beat Sensors

- I see Thermal

- All the maps feel...small...I have found one half decent sniping map and maps I think are good for sniping need good corridors and wide open areas. As Roxer said, there isn't a whole lot.

- Shotguns being primary again :( this is more a personal thing as I miss my go to MW2 setup of barrett and spas12 and yes, I know I can have them both via a perk.

- I encountered a lot of dropshotters so far, but I suppose thats been in alot of these games.

Other then that, goddamn impressed.

Really that simple.

[LoDownM]

Hate every map on this. It's entirely to easy to get flanked on all of them. I see what they were trying to do and make it more fast paced and more about gun vs gun, but the levels are not ground war friendly at all.

And it might just be me, but I feel like the hit detection is awful. There is no way I am missing someone standing still as much as I do with my red dot right on the guy.

[Blitz]

I'm starting to dig the maps a lot more, actually. Love the more run and gun style. And I think the hit detection is just you, because frankly, I'm cappin' fools.

- Eb games nearly sold it since I didn't get there in time for preorder
- Net was cutoff yesterday due to a missed payment in October and I have to wait till Monday to see where they sent my money.
- Gold ran up yesterday, thankfully there is a 2 day pass.

Edit: PS3 got a patch today.....probably already nerfed

[D Mac]

So are you enjoying it FA? And you really should try campaign. It's the best one I've ever played in COD.

[RoXer]

Easiest one too.

So the maps are still pretty bad but not as bad as I first thought. I still think they're too small and there are too many maps with buildings in the way and not enough open space.

That one African map with the giant trench down the middle might be the worst map ever created.

[RoXer]

So for me the maps range from "worst map ever created" to "not as bad as I first thought but still bad".

[D Mac]

Campaign on Hardened is pretty challenging for me. Of course I ain't as good as you claim to be.

[Verbose Minch]

I actually enjoy almost all the maps.

The only ones I hate are Underground (The destroyed city with the open subway in the middle) and Village (Some African Village where people just throw grenades at each other).

Other than that, I think they're all pretty good.

[Emperor Smeat]

Apparently some people discovered hidden map files within the MW 3 disc and could somewhat explain how Activision and Infinity Ward planned for 20 DLC packs since all the discovered maps are from MW 1 and 2.

Full thoughts later. I can say it will probably be an epic FANgel-ish rant.

Also, my sensitivity is all the way down and it still feels slippery. Sprinting is too short. And movement is too sluggish for the type of game this is.

None of these maps is my favorite. Like in BlOps I would be happy when Firing Range came up, in MW2, it was Wasteland and Estate but none in this do I really like or look forward to.

Hopefully they put some old maps in or make some good new ones.

Some news regarding the Elite subscription for CoD with both pieces being bad news.

As of now Activision has restricted access to Elite for all non-founding members so that the current "founders" members can actually access the service. They also are still having a lot of glitches and problems with the service itself but everyone who signs up will still have the free 30 days "founders" membership extension once the limited phase is over.

http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/call-of-duty-elite-restricting-access-for-non-founder-members/


The other bad news is Elite might never be done for the PC or at least for this year's CoD game due to Activision having a lot of problems getting the stats to track and the PC being an "insecure platform" in terms of mods and hacking possible.

I mentioned seeing a hack a few days ago, I was referring to that. I agree its exploded recently though.

Hate those bastards on my team as their name blocks the screen.

Yeah, and it's not even cool. So far, my only complaints are spawns and FUCKING QUICK SCOPING! It's so damn bad in this game...

Feel like Activision said "screw a system, just have them spawn behind someone who just got a kill"

And yes, quick scoping is annoying. Some nutfuck tried a 360 when the score was tied 7400-7400. I had the pleasure of hipfiring my barrett into his face for the gwk.
