I live in NYC, go see our so called WIFI hotspots LOL
That shit is completely barren outside of Manhattan (Midtown East - Upper East Side)
So please WIFI everywhere around you is bullshit, maybe Japan and the Asian countries have built infrastructures that can cater those needs, but not USA and others
Also you're really gonna trust the fast food restaurants with your sign-in info and other things, security isn't top notch

I honestly don't think it's the stick, It's definitely more software and with the amount of aim-assist in COD games, I don't see why it wouldn't. I say wait until Unit13 comes out and make a comparison and if it's still the same as Golden Abyss then yea the sticks are the issue.
A COD on the go with crossplay and cloud saves/transfarring is pretty huge news for the hardcore (PS3) COD crowd. Not PS3/360 big, but will do very well on the Vita imo. The only downside probaby is that they have to re-learn the controls. A combination of touchscreen and backtouch panel is gonna be pretty different than R3/L3/R2/L2 buttons.

They are already making concessions on the big screen versions (sub HD). I don't think they will be aiming at 60 FPS for this one. I mean I'd love it, gameplay > gfx and all but still, not really realistic imo.
I don't think anyone would chose it over the big screen version (maybe a select few, who knows). Fans would probably double-dip.
It's bound to be engrossing.

From what I played (admittedly not a lot of time spent on either vita or frankeinstein 3DS), I vehemently disagree.
McDonalds/ similar places not have WiFi up North? Some of our buses have WiFi now
That zombie mode...
Neat one. But no.
Could exceed 3-4 million.
It certainly could end up that way.
Treyarch were admonished, and have learned their lesson.

Aren't most dedicated COD users on the 360 anyway, that is where the lion's share resides
Why would they want a VITA, even if stats/ranks are cross-platform enabled
I highly doubt that is #GAMECHANGER

Have they said it won't be 544p? Otherwise, I'm going to have to say wait and see. BlkOps did incredibly well, I don't see why they'd be all that compelled to improve it.

To take that experience with them on the go. So far no handheld has managed to capture that.

The potential is there and I would love a CoD with cross-play with the PS3 version. But somehow knowing Activisions great relationship with Microsoft I'm afraid Activision would never do such a thing with a CoD game. I hope I'm wrong on this one though.

If they can pay for COD:Elite, I'm sure they wouldn't mind having the experience on the go. The marketing for this could be HUGE. I could see Sony pushing for a deal or two as this can be a system seller. Combine it with inevitable price drop in Christmas (or COD bundle) and you got yourself a great deal.
The only problem I have right now is Sony raising the price for Uncharted ($50 compared to $30/$40) which would mean every company will start charging that amount if they think their game is AAA, which can be an overall turnoff cause I rather pay the same amount for a PS3/360 game than Vita.
Nevertheless, if the experience is the same as console with wifi (and if possible, 3G) multiplayer then all I can say is:
PC not doing well I see.
59 percent 360.
39 percent PS3.
2 percent PC.
Earnestly, PC is nonentity, put next to the consoles.
Darn, Source is, as we deal with this, more actively played than MW3.
Less than one percent of MW3's first-week (record) sales in the UK (2 million) were on the PC.
It is mortifying.
That's pretty mind blowing.

Let's not get carried away now.
No, it earnestly is, taking into account the PC is "the platform of all FPS games".

Active users, I see. Nevermind then.

This. Seriously, playing on a Vita against those at home using their Dualshocks has got to come at a disadvantage. Either that or Treyarch will have to really ramp up the autoaim on the Vita version. Even if they do, are console players gonna wanna play against Vita auto-aimbots? Crap, Sony couldn't even convince IW to put Move support in MW3.
Pardon?

If there was cross-platform competitive gameplay with the PS3 version, that would be a #gamechanger. Otherwise, I don't really see many people caring about the opportunity to play single player "on the go." Public wi-fi would suck for online play.

I had mentioned earlier that no CoD had outsold Mario Kart Wii.
To be fair, COD gets yearly sequels.
Yea, 20m+ every year is still better than 32m every 5 years.

Yes this is true.
The impressive thing about MK though is that it's only on one platform. To contribute to that 32m figure, you have to buy that one particular system. It's the very definition of a system seller.

I haven't purchased a COD since Modern Warfare 2, but if the Vita version is competent and comparable to what I get on consoles, I'd get the Vita game.
Biggest reasons are:
1) Better online infrastructure with Vita. Cross-play, invites, party chat, everything is integrated better and simply works a whole heck of a lot faster than what is available on consoles.
2) Convenience. With the VITA, I can put the machine in standby at the lobby screen. Booting the game up will be instant, so I can join a match in about a minute or two. I can also play this in bed, or during commercials when I'm watching TV.
Call of Duty is an experience that would really benefit from having near instant quick matches that can come and go as I please, rather than having to turn on my TV, Receiver, PS3, waiting for the title screen to load up, log into the lobby, then get in a match that could take a few minutes. This pick up and play nature really entices me to grab the Vita version.

No, CoD is huge on the PS3, especially in Europe.
And even in America, I think the PS3 version of CoD represents ~35% of total sales. So while it's bigger on the 360 in the US, it's still massive on the PS3.
With the Vita's gyro, Vita players would likely be at a serious advantage, honestly. Vita's gyro-aiming is fantastic. Also, the sticks on the Vita are just as good as the ones on the DS3 in terms of precision, they just have a different feel to them that takes getting used to.
I'm also curious to see if developers will try and make use of the back touch for aiming, bringing the Vita more in line with a mouse.
Still would be nice to have the option I guess.
MK has been bound together with the Wii for quite some time now.

Yea, all that sounds pretty sweet and it'd be nice if they could pull it off. Unfortunately, while the Vita may be up to it, bringing it all together is in the hands of Sony and I feel that'll be the big hurdle. Do they have the foresight and commitment to implement all these ideas and see them through? Years ago, I wouldn't have questioned it but my faith in them has waned significantly of late so anything they announce now becomes "I'll believe it when I see it."

i wish posts like this were longer, we haven't had a good dramatic reading in a long time.
Mortifying? Really? I'd rather consider it a testament to the excellent, refined taste of the PC audience.

Will it be a completely new game or a port of an old Call of Duty?
I played Resistance for Vita on the gamescom last year and that worked very well. I suppose we will see a lot of shooters for Vita in the upcoming years.

It sold the vast majority of its 32 million before then though.
As an example of its system seller status, as I mentioned before, see the NPD when it released alongside GTAIV. GTA did nothing for the 360/PS3 that month, whereas the Wii shot up to 700k.
Back on topic, I think Vita getting a near console-like CoD experience can only be a boon to the platform, but I don't see it pushing systems like some people think it will. It won't be the western equivalent to Monster Hunter IMO.
