Gah. Contrary to what I originally said, I'm in two minds over MW3. The trailer was complete garbage yes, but having seen actual gameplay videos and heard peoples' opinion on the game it does look somewhat decent. I still have concerns about everyone running Blind Eye/Assassin (= Ghost), camper, deathstreaks, explosives, derpscopers, Overkill and something being overpowered, but the game looks a lot better than the trailer made it out to be.

On top of that, pre-ordering MW3 on Steam comes with a free copy of COD4, and COD4 is fantastic as we all know :irked:

You know, I'm not too sure about that. I'm amazed how many people DON'T use Ghost in Black Ops. In MW2 there was Stopping Power to compete with Cold-Blooded so a lot of people didn't use it, but there's really nothing in BlOps other than Lightweight. I know I'll for sure be using Blind Eye/Assassin/SitRep. I foresee a lot of Sleight of Hand or Extreme Conditioning/Quickdraw, Assassin, or Overkill/Dead Silence...which is fine by me. If someone wants to go 24-20 and be taken out by any and all air support then let them. I'll go 20-4 and kill them all with my air support. Now, if it does turn into a ghost fest, they might have to tweak things. They should be able to see what's getting used the most with all the info Elite will be collecting. My only real gripes are the return of Auto-Aim and Quickscoping, and the inclusion of the XM25 Grenade Launcher in MP. The last thing we need is a 6 round noob tube even if they nerfed explosive damage. Someone should inform IW/Sledgehammer/whoever that sniper rifles are not shotguns, they should not be used as close quarters weapons.

IW doesn't have much of a track record when it comes to rebalancing stuff post-launch :ouch: Although on PC one can probably look for a server with those perks disabled, so I suppose the point is moot as I'll be playing it on PC before I play it on console (if I ever do buy it on console).

Yeah, the XM25 is a bit concerning. Either it'll need to have, say, a two-round magazine (or whatever you call a grenade launcher's magazine), a really low fire rate or literally no splash damage if it's not to be massively overpowered. As for the abuse of auto-aim with snipers... like I mentioned above I'll get it on PC before console; PC has no autoaim which should on the whole take care of that.


On that note, I've decided that I am going to get the game and will be preordering it on Steam tomorrow. The free copy of COD4 with MW3 preorders didn't influence my decision, honest >_>

Pure gameplay trailer. Vastly superior to the first trailer.

Why do people still fight about wich is better get what you like or by both there both going to be great games
 
There has been a crap-load of videos from that event... The main ones being this interview with Gamespot:



And the tournament finals:




Definitely looks like it's going back to COD4 roots with the styles of map. Closer quarters, not a gazillion places to look for enemies camping, less sponging, etc. Hopefully this will be the first COD since COD4 that I'll properly enjoy. 👍

There are lots of other videos floating about but there's too many to link!

I dislike the amount of anger about the graphics.

Mw2 had impeccable graphics, then Black Ops had toned down, average ones, I don't see what the issue is with going BACK to an engine that worked? I mean, look at Counter Strike? It's been a HUGE PC shooter since it came out, the graphics on that aren't anything like they are on this, and thats run on PC! Something capable of way more than a console.

Exaclty 👍 And i think many dont understand that COD could have looked better, but then we would have 30fps insted of 60fps like bad company. Many more devleopers should aim for 60fps! 60fps with less detail look much more impressive then 30fps with more detail IMO.

Heard that QS is back? Really hope not..👎 Look at mw2, 70% of online players use QS, its not really balanced then is it?
 
Black-Ops didn't interest me in the slightest. But i'm actually getting quite moist the more i read about MW3 :O 👍

That looked like the most annoying MP FPS ever.

The more I not play MW2, the more I want it to play. But once I start playing the MP again, the more I remember why I quit playing it in the first place.

Seriously, how hard is to place a decent sniping map in FPS games these days? All I'm seeing are these overly annoying, way too busy, maps. Get killed, spawn at the other side of the map, which is 5 yards away, to be killed by the blast wave of the grenade that previously killed you :boggled:

No thanks, I'd rather keep myself to a classic CoD game in the future. My cousin still has the very first CoD game with the United Offensive expansion pack. Now that's how an FPS should be!
 
Well, they are showcasing the madness that I like on the campaign mode:



Not too bad, maybe having both BF3 and MW3 isn't a bad idea.
 
Having just caught up on all the news from mid-August on, all I can say is wow. This will be a definite buy. I got days and days of play out of MW2 (check my activeness in the MW2 thread over the summer :lol:) and this looks even better. I'm normally pretty garbage, so the Support killstreak system seems as though its custom made for me. I also like the "Prestige Store" feature and the Weapon Proficiencies. I can't wait 👍. The Javelin, SPAS, and SCAR are back as well among other weapons I adore, it just seems like the total package right now :).
 
I pre-ordered this game today but they said the hardened edition is sold out and I had to get the game and the elite separately. That was kinda lame.
 
Is the Hardened edition worth getting? $40 sounds a bit steep for (basically) just DLC, since only 2 sets were released for MW2.
 
Not only is the elite essentially free with the hardened edition but you also get a metal case and an illustrated history of the cod timeline all for $10 less than buying them the way I have to.
 
I'm guessing the DLC will be 15 dollars a pop like last time? And will it be just map packs?
 
That'll be a tough decision. Thanks for the help :).
 
Hadn't heard of the weapon proficiencies and prestige store before. They both sound quite good.

Ultimately though, the proof will be in the pudding.
 
I am actually looking forward to the Offline alot.Having a WW3 Story line done right is something I will buy in an instant.Online will be same old same old though.
 
I played MW2 for the first time in about a year today (have not removed GT5 before from my PS3, before that was Prologue) and it was great. I was expecting only elite players online since it's quite old now but there were still inexperienced players too.
Anyway to the point I really love the simplicity of MW2. After researching stuff about the upcoming game it looks a little bit complex... I hope this isn't a bad thing. The only problem I have with any upcoming game is the price. It will probably be £45 which is a lot for me and to be quite honest I'm not really sure that it would be worth that. My plan is looking to see the reviews of the game (plus THAT competitor) and if it acclaims a positive response I'll wait a while and buy it second hand. By that time any glitches will be probably fixed which will be a bonus.
I just hope it does not become too complex and inherits the pure strategy of the previous games.
 
I hope these extra tokens aren't a timed thing. I won't be picking up MW3 until sometime next year and I'd hate to lose the 2 tokens I should get. I don't plan on going past Prestige 2 or 3, so 2 extra tokens would be pretty helpful.
