Modern Warfare 3

Finally gave in and bought this game since my friend got it.

 

It's not that bad. However I wouldn't buy it if I didn't have friends to play with.

Like to know how you came to that conclusion. The campaign in MW3 was much, much better then MW2, but that was quite possibly down to how many action sequences we had within it, compared to MW2. The only gripe for me was the length of the campaign, which, even on Hardened mode, seemed far too quick, even for a newb player like me (hence Hardened, not Veteran).

 

When it came to the MP side of the game though, this is where MW2 is still the better of the two. Yes, we all get pissed of at the 'exploits' or the 'cheaters/campers', but it's sh*t like the ability to actually hide in a f*cking bush, unlike MW3, where their attempt at eradicating campers is to make everything solid. This also saw us not being able to jump on a table, or other tiny objects. In terms of team-work and that, I do agree that MW3 is much better, but that's all down to the game still being in the early days. People seem to work in teams, but really they're all just following each other around the map. Give it a few months and you'll just find all the same problems in MW3, as that annoyed you in MW2.

 

The 'clan' I play with actually only play MW3 because of Game Battles, in which we have yet to participate. Apart from that, we still spend the majority of time on MW2.

 

Have said it previously, but will say it again. I'm not in the same boat as all those saying this is just MW2.5, but I am saying that MW3 as a whole was not worth the price tag, especially those poor sods who got the Elite edition.

 

Quite happily sold it today. Can't wait to buy BF3 and get rewarded for my money.

Oh, to be honest I don't think any CoD past CoD4 was worth $60, but I still bought it because my friends did. I haven't played single player yet admittedly. Those rankings were based on multiplayer. I hated MW2 multiplayer because all it was was airstrikes all day everyday. I haven't had that problem yet in MW3.

[SPMovies]

Anybody here play MW3 GB?

Clan I'm part of has been trying to get a game going on there for a while now, but attendance has always been to crap to go ahead with any of the matches.

Have you guys ever played gamebattles before? If not, good luck. No mater how good you may be or think you are, it takes A WHILE to get good in GB. It's a whole different animal.

 

To Butters, MW3 multiplayer IMO is far superior to MW2s. MW2 had very bad maps, while most MW3 maps are good. The weapons are better balanced in MW3, and none are overpowered(Type 95 was, but all 3 bursts generally are, now its being nerfed with akimbo fmg9s.) In MW2, the Famas, Ump, ACR, Scar were all overrpowered as heck(no recoil, crazy range etc. Glocks akimbo were too)

 

As a big time Cod guy, I'm very dissappointed with the franchise. I liked the first Cod, Cod2, Cod3 was a fail, but then Cod4 came and completeky took Cod to the elite level. I loved that game so much, I use to be a GTA guy but Cod4 blew out the GTAs for me(Still love GTA though.) Ever since then, every game has been a setback. WaW was ok, but guns weren't balanced, no camos, weird attachments, WW2 again. Then MW2 came out, it was sooooo hyped, but it was a FAIL. It failed starting with the newer graphics/engine, then with no Cod4 MP5. To go with that all of the OP guns, bad maps, leaderboards etc. Black Ops wasnt a bad game, but the maps could've been better and most guns were too bad, the Famas was about who had less recoil.

 

MW3 is very good IMO, and lives up to the standards Cod2 and especially Cod4 put up, but MW3 should've been MW2 in my eyes. You know what I mean, like no gay perks, OP guns etc.

[The Unvirginiser]

So I edited some classes, unlocked some stuff and got some titles and emblem (Harder they fall, stickman), and I was looking at video on my vault, went back and they're gone and my classes are how they were half an hour ago. Emblems, titles are gone.

[friendly luggage]

I was really disappointed with MW3. The series is just seriously tired now. I thought Black Ops was bad but seriously MW3 has just ruined it for me. The maps are awful (too big, grey and generic) and there's hardly any hardcore playlists! The Special Op missions aren't as good as MW2's but the Campaign was ok. For me CoD 4 and MW2 were the best. I loved the maps on MW2 as they were colourful and varied. Yes the grenade launchers on MW2 were annoying but then again too many kids cried about it and now they're useless on MW3. Everyone cries about an 'overpowered' gun so then they nerf it and make it crap. People just need to learn new tactics. Anyway I've moved onto BF3 now and have not looked back, although it feels like they rushed it just to compete with Call of Duty

 

Best shooter online games I've played:

Halo 2

Halo 3

GoW

GoW 2

GoW 3 (free maps and is so much fun with friends)

CoD 4

CoD MW2

Halo Reach (I love Halo)

Bad Company 1

Bad Company 2

Battlefield 3

 

So there I'm not really sure with MW3

[Guns N R0se]

Just finished the story. It doesn't make sense to me.

 

Makarov staged the Airport attack to convince Russia to attack the United States. Then why were Russian troops also in germany/france/england? Wouldn't the Russian President (who seemed pretty reasonable) realize he's being played? Especially after the gas attacks?

[Chinatown Wars]

MW3 is definitely going to be one of those 30+ days logged on like mw2

Played all day and didn't realize it was already another day

[Finn 7 five 11]

^^I decided i won't be buying this game, for some time at least, i have played it several times, and i don't really like the game that much, wasn't a fan of MW2 either i am more a BO person, and i can't say i like the way that every second person is a sniper and, BO had continued support, MW2 had barely any, and i am assuming MW3 will have the same issue.

 

The lag compensation is pretty f*cking stupid as well i don't know how it works, but its a cheap substitute, has activision heard of dedicated servers? That is what really pisses me off, the biggest selling game and franchise in the world and they do not pump some money into dedicated servers for the console versions, the host advantage used to be ridiculous in BLOPS, they would see you well before you saw them, but now with the lag compensation the host is the one that gets f*cked up.

 

Im sick of this petty bullsh*t, EA games has them for Battlefield, why the f*ck doesn't COD?

 

I am not a troll, i am simply a distraught fan.

Finn, your right about the sniping... Seems like everybody thinks there a great quickscoper now, which is incredibly annoying. To go with that, they made quickscoping so much easier. When I rarely snipe, I snipe, I dont quickscope, and its so annoying hearing "Ohhh you fag keep hardscoping" etc.

Must have been me, but it seemed like QS'ing had become much harder in MW3. I only tried one of the snipers, but from that alone, it was impossible to QS anyone. The QS'ing in MW2 was just perfect once you get the basics of it. I used to bash on anyone running around a tiny level with an Intervention, but after trying it myself, it was actually quite fun, and rewarding when you pulled some fast ones off. Always found that having a joint or two helped with this.

It is fun at times, but is is pretty annoying when you want to run and gun and oyu get picked off with snipers, thats just how the game is, it's great for some, but for people like me, i find it more of a nuisance.

 

@SPMovies i hate people that do that, what is a sniper for? personally i would rather see someone take their time and line me up with a decent shot and kill me rather that scope in and out 50 times and miss.

Quickscoping at close range makes sense, ut at a distance its nonsensical, sniper is a long range weapon, make use of it.

Funny story playing Co-op on XBL with a friend, we were playing sticks and stones, and it was just about the end and my mate pulled out his tomahawk/throwing knife and had it held ready to throw, some kid came around the corner and he threw it.

Then all we heard was some 10-12 year old kid whining "youuu hardscoped me with your tomahaawwwwkk" he continued to repeat it as well.

But getting a QS from quite a distance is actually rewarding at times, especially when the enemy appears to the side of you. I know it's all down to the flicking technique, but it's still a technique.

 

Saw this posted on my wall for "Fastest MOAB":

 

 

 

Watching this annoys the f*ck out of me, but not the guy who's getting his kills. It's the ones who continuously run into the same spot, from the same entry point, to be picked off every time by one guy. One thing MW3 made sure of was that every part of the map was accessible from multiple points, so why is sh*t like this happening?

[Dwemer Centurion]

Managed to get a pretty badass final kill. 360 Throwing knife, I knew exactly where he was but didn't expect to get the kill. Not one of those stupid random throw in the air shots either.

 

 

[KilnerLUFC]

Oh f*ck me, the amount of times I got killed in that small, tiny area, due to somehow not seeing people behind the bush. That whole area was a nightmare for it, but that little corner was where I found myself getting killed a lot.

 

As for that kill, regardless of knowing he's there or not, still a pretty good kill.

Quick-scoping is stupid imo. Back in my day (CoD4) I never once came across a quick-scoper. It was a MW2 invention. In CoD4 snipers were actually snipers, and actually quite fun. (Bloc anyone?)

Really? BO was clearly a better MP game than MW2. Plus they added lots of cool stuff like Zombie mode, that top down game and the text adventure. MW2 MP reeked.

Uh, no, how wrong you are - Quick-scoping has been around in every game with a scoped rifle. Be it any of the following, featuring arguably the best guys with a scope in each game:

• (ft. fr0d) - Where you can quick-scope so quickly that a video recording won't capture it.
• CoD1 - Bad example and bad player, but still an example.
• (ft. solz) - One of my 3 favourite CoD2 frag videos, really shows immense skill.
• (ft. Stevy) - Arguably the best scope in CoD4, watch this video and you'll see.

All of those videos minus the CoD1 video feature almost solely footage from real competitions against professional gamers, and there is no footage of public server play there. Quick-scoping has been around for more than a decade, mate. Back in your day, haha.

 

CoD used to be such a good series.

Back in the CoD4 days, your right, NO ONE quickscoped. It was a rarity, and now every lobby has 1 or 2.

[vertical limit]

Couple of things getting nerfed, maps under barrels and the FMG9.

The Type 95 is nerfed a little too. They reduced the bullet spread when hip-firing. That'll be interesting because I've beasted a few people while hip-firing that gun.

[vertical limit]

The type 95 is so powerful, it is one of those guns that you won't remove from your class.

One pull of a trigger and the person is done.

[LittleBlueTroll]

FMG9's annoy the f*cking life out of me, range and damage is crazy, and the accuracy at range makes it even worse, ive been killed from a fair distance by these things sooo many times.

Im really struggling to find a good counter tactic from them, people using them just spray and pray so drop shotting or hip firing seem to always fail

 

Its not even like you can try and strafe and hope they empty the clip, because the clip isn't exactly small either. And whats worse is they are getting so popular now aswell.

 

In other news, hit 4th prestige yesterday, purple badge looks kickass

[friendly luggage]

Hi does anyone know when they're going to add new playlists? I would love to see gun game, one in the chamber and more hardcore playlists online. I really want to play hardcore headquarters but they don't have it It was my most played playlist in CoD 4, MW2 and Black Ops. It really annoys me how they treat hardcore playlist players like crap. They should just copy every core playlist and make a hardcore version. Hardcore ground war would be sick Anyway I hope the monthly dlc will be fairly priced and decent. I can't believe I spent over £20 for two map packs on MW2!

[Jake]

I got a couple hate messages the other night. Some guy telling me I'm a cheater and to go rape my wife like the loser I am or some nonsense. And another member of his clan called me garbage. The reason being because it was their whole clan against me and a buddy and other randoms. And I hit 40 kills in a Kill Confirmed match with under 10 deaths and they got butt hurt that they lost.

 

Bahaha. Suckas.

[KilnerLUFC]

Apologies beforehand if this is already known, but I'm out of the loop with this game now. Anyway, found an article stating that new game modes will be coming this weekend:

 

 

Moments ago, X-Play handed out its "Best Multiplayer Game" award for 2011 to Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. During the acceptance speech, Infinity Ward's creative strategist, Robert Bowling, revealed that player-created game modes will soon be added to MW3's multiplayer.

 

"Since we have such advanced private match options, we've been noticing a lot of user-created game modes, that in the coming weeks, we're going to be adding to the public playlists in multiplayer," Bowling said. "We're going to be adding some in for the holiday, brand new modes that the users created, that we adapted, made more polished, and are putting into the game," he added.

 

Source.

 

One suggestion on the forum was the game mode in where one player is a juggernaut, and all the other players have Strikers, and whoever takes the Juggernaut down, becomes the Juggernaut themselves.

[vertical limit]

Best multiplayer game handed to MW3? Bitch please!

 

I know that is absouletley false, I am not trying to promote fan boyism but BF3 hands down for graphics and multiplayer.

 

MW3 won the single player.

Hate mail is f*cking hilarious. It's amazing how you get some people taking a game so seriously. I made a guy cry once because someone respawned from a Tactical Insertion and I killed him straight away. I take it seriously but not enough to start crying and sending hate mail to everyone that beat me in that game.

What you've got to understand is, MW is still the main selling game in the FPS genre, and that's all these type of awards tend to praise.

Yeah I knew he was there, hence I turned round straight after reloading. You can see him on the radar.
