Prometheus Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 "New ‘Elite’ service will include a monthly fee for some offerings" .... Regarding the WSJ COD-subscription fee story: I've enjoyed the COD series, although I didn't purchase the last game due to all the terrible reviews, but there is no way I will buy MW3 if one has to pay a monthly subscription to access MP or features that used to be available on previous games. I sincerely hope that this new subscription service is only for additional perks because although I enjoy COD, I don't enjoy it enough to pay an extra $10/mo just to play on-line. Also, will people still have to pay for DLC (map packs, etc) in addition to this new subscription fee? This is just retarded. And it pisses me off because I know that lots of people will buy it and encourage them to do this. Does anybody know the price p/month? It's hinted that it will going to be "less than fees for comparable online-entertainment services, such as a $7.99-a-month Netflix Inc.", which i predict will be $5. So lets say that, $60 for the game, $30 for the DLCs, $60 for the elite subscription...full package roughly $150. From what I understand as long as you're a subscriber to Elite you get the DLCs for free... No....You get some DLCs that ONLY ELITE SUBSCRIBERS get.

tuareg Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Well that's the kind of bs that just wont fly. I don't care about costly dlcs that aren't worth my money, but this is just a whole other level of gay. I really hope it's just something super exclusive. I don't care about dlcs, new maps, but if you do have to pay in order to use certain perks then wow. Inb4 "you have to pay a monthly fee if you want to complete the campaign again on vet difficulty, but it wont cost more than $7.99 a motnh we promise!" Seriously Activision, just go.

Yeah that elite crap sounds like total bullsh*t. When you pay 100 bucks for a game, you should only have to get that 100bucks worth, not have to pay any extra.

Its pretty much what Halo has had for a while, which is good, just abit late, and abit greedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuareg Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) It's more or less rockstars social club and it does look cool, but nothing spectacular or new and definitely not worth money. Well unless you live in a basement in your parents house at the age of 27 wanking off to anything labelled CoD etc. I couldn't care less for elite i just think it's total bs that they restrict you from playing a game to it's full potential unless you pay up.

KilnerLUFC Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Seems like a great service...if it was completely free... Been off internet for a while so am going to have to catch up on what's going on, but it seems to me that this "online service" thing is making the most of clans, which I'm happy about. I read that you only have to pay for the higher stuff, if that makes sense. Anyway, off to read up on this game, kinda confused now. Wish I knew all this before I pre-ordered it yesterday...

SilentSeas Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I'm not sure if this has been posted, but there are some fairly interesting multiplayer rumors: Kotaku's Modern Warfare 3-leaking mole is back, dropping deets on the game's multiplayer offerings. Before we get into the meat of things, it's worth pointing out that, according to this report, a Zombies mode will not make an appearance in MW3; the Treyarch-developed mode has so far only appeared in its own Call of Duty offerings and that trend will continue. More importantly for the game's dedicated multiplayer ... err, players, comes the first rumors of the game's killstreaks and perks, both of which are reported to be getting tweaked by co-devs Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games. Most MW2 players will be happy to learn that the Tactical Nuke killstreak that rewarded 25 consecutive kills with oblivion (and the end of the match) has been nuked. New killstreaks include a remote-controlled helicopter, a remote turret, an EMP grenade, and more. The most notable scuttlebutt is the addition of "Team Perks," which are – as you no doubt have already deduced – perks that your entire team works to unlock. It's unclear what defines a "team" but we imagine this is something that Elite will help coordinate. Rumored team perks include Stopping Power, which dishes out increased bullet damage; Stun Protection, which prevents your team from being stunned by flash grenades; Health Regen, which regenerates your team's health over time; and Blast Shield, which isn't clear. New non-team perks for MW3 include Blind Eye, which makes you "immune to computer-controlled and player-controlled killstreaks"; Assassin makes you "immune to UAV, thermal, and heartbeat sensors"; Point Guard, which counts every two assists as a kill, helping less lethal players still earn killstreaks; Dead Silence, which makes you dead silent (duh); and Recon, which is still unclear. Lastly, if you're hoping for dedicated servers, you may want to sit down: looks like they're still out, as they were in MW2. Last year's Black Ops did support dedicated servers, albeit in a limited capacity, so it's not clear if MW3 is rolling back to Infinity Ward's previous offering, or adopting something closer to what Treyarch used.

I'll try and screenshot it. Why get rid of Commando? I can only assume that is a joke. The stupidest thing they have ever thought of. The fact that someone came up with the idea of making lag a perk is beyond me. Let alone the fact that they actually put it in the game, when clearly they should have just fired the idiot. I just hope they do what Treyarch did and nerf "quickscoping" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, good f*cking riddance. This news is music to my ears. It increased it slightly, but the best thing about the perk was the no falling damage that came with the pro version of the perk. The thing is though, it still required quick reactions to knife someone, unless they were stood still. Tactical knife, on the other hand, was probably one of the worst things that the game had. And some of the new rewards sound alot like Homefront rewards, with the remote controlled vehicles and what-not. Not a bad thing, just saying. I'm liking how much work seems to be going into creating a team based online FPS game though, such as this Elite thing, and the team perks. As I said a few pages back, the game needed to extend on the whole clan/team aspect of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubbs51 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The fact that he said no one uses the Sentry gun is ridiculous... obviously he doesnt play outside of Core. Commando was easily the worst thing in MW2.... I'm horrible with the knife but with Commando i could go 10-2 with ease on Hardcore cause when you lunge you're invincible and with Tac Knife it made you damn near impossible to kill in Hardcore TDM.

tuareg Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The sentry gun was pure f*ck. It either got stolen or wouldn't kill for sh*t. And whoever came up with commando was a c*nt. It had it's uses. The no falling damage was easy to get used to, but it was useless compared to other third tier perks. I mean again it wasn't game breaking it was just annoying getting knifed in the head from f*cking 30 feet away. And it's always the unprestiged rank 3 c*nts that think they're cool because the game is broken as dog sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilnerLUFC Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The sentry gun was pure f*ck. It either got stolen or wouldn't kill for sh*t. All depends on the map you choose and the location on where you place your sentry gun. On certain maps such as Airport, you just place it either on the corridoor on one side, or along the back wall past the security points. Other maps, just place them in the areas where everyone tries to take control of, such as the big Estate on, uhm, Estate. I personally used to hate the Sentry Gun myself for the exact reasons you pointed out. I'd find myself placing a sentry gun, getting no kills for like 4 minutes, then for one of them to always smash it. Can't go wrong with them on Domination mode either...stick one of those in a corner near the "flag" and watch those dumb kids get killed over and over again.
