I just have a nasty suspicion that with all the turmoil surrounding the IW breakup, coupled with the forced introduction of 2 outside developers to get the work done, that this iteration in the series will be the beginning of the fall for MW.

I understand it is quite early and we have no idea at what stage of development the screens were grabbed from, but they look a full generation behind BF3. The lighting, geometry and textures are all disappointing in comparison.

Also if you listen to the sound clip they posted, well I was quite surprised to find the voice work has suffered too.


So far this all seems so slap-dash to me. Just have a bad feeling about this version.
 
That audio sounds like two guys tossed it together in their garage. As for BF2 those games have always been good looking but never as fun as COD. Never since modern combat on the PS2 have I enjoyed one of those games. Those trailers are probably not a direct representation of what we'll see on console either. BF3 will be good, lots of people will buy it and some may even enjoy it but 6 months later not as many will be playing it as will be playing MW3.
 
PSN is back and working fine. I'll probably be playing most of the day.
 
I am in the process of the system update now and will probably be playing until the Thunder game.

Thank goodness the official trailers have much better audio, that intial leaked clip really had me concerned for a moment.

The squad centric aspect of BF I found really cool, but it took me awhile to get used to it. I do agree that BF is not as "pick up and play" friendly as CoD. Anymore the way I generally look at the 2 franchises is that BF is more of a, kinda duh here, battlefield simulator and CoD is more of a skirmish simulator. I definitely appreciate both for what they do well and I still think Activison's greedy management of MW is gonna eventually bite them in the butt. Whether that happens with MW3 is yet to be seen, but it is gonna happen.

Also comparing the BF3 PC shots to console MW3 shots is not apples to apples I agree.
 
I hope with MW3 IW we be more active in the community like Treyarch.
 
You guys need to start the MW3 thread. :lol:

I've been soured by Activision as you guys already know. I'm also very skeptical of me buying one. I never bought Black Ops.

Brett: I also thought the G21 was bit wide. I've never shot with a laser though. I will own one eventually, and you pretty much confirmed my impression of them. I'd love to have that, and flashlight added to both my G17 & the shotty. And if I ever get a Glock .45, it will be the compact.

My opinion on Black Ops has changed slightly since PSNgate. I played a bit of BO today with Time_Attack and it was pretty fun.

I have only short five rounds of .45 ACP with a laser attachment and it makes the weapon a literal point and shoot.

Yeah I thought about it before I first posted the MW3 leak stuff, but then decided I just couldn't be bothered. Tired of Activision and their shovel ware attitude.
 
It was fun because we had an objective minded team in an objective game. I'm so burnt out on TDMs these days.
 
A6 playing something other than TDM?
 
You guys don't know what you are talking about. I sometimes use silenced PimPin 2000. Also, I don't wanna brag or nothin', but I've played domination a long time ago. I remember, because it was the first game that blew me away on my Turbografx 16.

Add me Leo, but only if you want to play TDM. :lol:

I only play TDM, sometimes 3rd person and Hardcore.

We had some fun. Do you still play with Random or Breakpoint at all?

Anyone from GTP want to play with me on PSN? I've been just horrible, and when I do good, I end up being like the only guy in the positive on the team. Really unstable matches. :crazy:
 
I hardly see them on..or their playing other games. I think Random joined your ranks, A6, your not horrible..your connection is.

It's completely true. It's either my connection, or something is wrong with my gun. To be completely honest, there are times it's actually the fault of my controller.
 
I remember you said that your gun jammed on you before.

It's happened more than once. I SWEAR to god.

It happens only with the M16. I have no idea what triggers it, but when I run out of ammo, and if I'm still trying to fire, firing mechanism(or the simulation of it) keeps going *tick* *tick* until you die. During this time, you can't do anything, except move around.

I was kidding about the rest, obviously, but the M16 jam thing is completely true. It's happened more than once. And this part is kind of foggy, but I could swear it's happened in CoD4 as well.

Edit: I just tried it on MW2, but could not duplicate it. When I told you about the gun jam, was it on the CoD4? Because for some reason, only place I can remember it happening was on the map Strike.

Sadly, it only happens to you..
 
Black ops is still where its at. I almost got a 5 man spray on sunday. That would have been epic. I ran out of ammo after number 4 and pulled out my 1911 and got a couple shots off but couldn't get the job done. Had I been using extended mag instead of dual mag I would have pulled it off.

I tried duplicating it on MW2 last night, but I couldn't. I'm gonna try searching online, because I can't be the only one who's experienced it. I'll also fire up the good ole' CoD4, and see if I can duplicate it on there. Honest to god, I am not making it up. :crazy:
 
As the resident GTP M16 expert from COD4 and MW2, easily my most used gun in COD4 and definately top 2 on MW2, I have no idea what you're talking about A6 :lol:. Anything can happen on a dodgy connection though.
 
My old internet was worse than his and that has never happened to me.
 
Whatever Drag. You show up to the thread many months later just to put me down! :lol:

OK, I found a video:

Hmmm... well when I watch closely, right before the apparent "jam" the remaining bullet graphic actually displays empty for a brief moment and then resets to 14. So I'm guessing that the firing engine (for lack of a better term) is working properly but there is some weird display glitch giving the user the impression he has ammo left when in fact he doesn't. At least that is my take on the vid.

I explained it earlier(ie before a lot of BSing lol), but it gets stuck on that tick-tick-tick of the trigger. And when it happens, all controls are disabled, except for moving around. You can't even use your knife, and only solution is death, which resets things back to normal.

I hate this glitch, because if you are using M16, and if you are out of ammo, it usually means that you are on an awesome kill streak. Then the gun jam hits, which prevents you from picking up another weapon, or even a use of melee. It has made me say many bad words in the past. :sly:
 
Simple fix. Don't run out of ammo. Switch weapons before that and keep going.
