This, I loved the simple maps of the first Modern Warfare. From then on, 2 and 3 makes everywhere you go a walk of death as you have literally half a dozen different angles you can be shot from. I don't find playing this series(or video games in general) much fun anymore, but I'm willing to give BLOPS2 a shot just to give the series one more chance. I never did try the first BLOPS because I didn't like World at War. But maybe Treyarch can somewhat redeem themselves and the series to me.
As for controls, keep it easy and simple. Isn't that a very big reason why the series is so popular. If you really want to go to a more difficult weighty controls, won't that only be a turn off to the majority of there players? I think that's one formula they shouldn't mess with. Maybe a small tweak, but don't make a huge change.
I've been playing a bit of BlOps and MW3 this weekend, and while I like the layout of BlOps maps a little more, they're just so fucking boring to look at. And the slower movements makes navigating the larger ones (like Array) a real chore.
Which is why I'm excited about BlOps 2 a little more, from what they've shown the maps seem to have a lot more identity.

Really MW3 was one of the worst online experiences I've had, the maps, the low health the online stability.

I think the majority had enough identity, but some were boring. This game definitely looks better. But technically speaking, the black ops maps shit on MW2 and 3 maps.

ugh. it was too one-sided IMO.
Are you speaking about the side that spawned right next to the cliff in the middle? If so. I can see where you're coming from. Cause I always spawned there somehow. Lmao.
Baloney on the recoil claims. It's still a snappy hallway turkey shoot. Whoever says there is recoil in this game hasn't played any other shooters. There is none. At all. Zip.
It looks better than the last few cods tho.
Still, is it just me or do COD maps no longer feel like "locales" within theatres anymore. They just feel like maps. I don't feel like I'm in a warzone, I feel like I'm in a rat maze being funneled toward other angry rats where charging around gung ho and unstrategically wins the day. I miss feeling like I'm immersed in a warzone, working with my team mates to defeat the enemy. Moving methodically around Overgrown, for example, or Strike. If you spent all day sprinting you got destroyed. Now if you don't perma sprint it's like you're not playing right or something.
I do like how Treyarch are rewarding team play in this more so than straight up KDR. Definately a step in the right direction for the franchise. Maybe it's just cause I'm slowing down a bit in my old age, but I'd like to see the game play move toward being a little less frantic and a bit more strategic.
Doesn't look like a big enough departure to get me away from BF3, but it looks a bit better than the last couple iterations.

MW3 maps are good to me. I only play team deathmatch so maybe that is why others don't like it.

Funny how everyone is getting hyped again, even the people who bailed out post-MW2.
I loved every COD up and including BLOPS, and finally, the fatigue has set in for me.
Will pass, I just can't bear the HUD/Graphics/Animations always staying so similar.

Lol. I understand where you coming from but that's something I hear often with the CoD community.

Yeah, spawning on the barn side was almost always a losing fight.
Shit I admit I've done it too. But I can't help it. It's flipping addicting.
*crack addict scratch*
You didn't want to see me when MW2 came out. Oh boy. Addicting.

Yea,as bad as mw3 is the gunplay is addicting enough to make it fun.
Does anyone remember the hype leading into MW2?....naw fuck that
Do you guys remember the hype at midnight launch?
Especially on a college campus?
holy shit
I haven't felt that hype about the series since then. Idk I just never liked the feel of treyarch's CoD. Their cod especially black ops had this very "elitist" attitude to it. I can't explain it.

YES YES YES. Holy crap. I know this isn't Gaf-Hop but dat Till I Collapse trailer got everyone in my Senior class hyped. And a good percent didn't even listen to rap. Oooowwwwweeee. The memories. I was super anxious to pick it up at midnight.

There wont be hype like mw2 again. the reason it got that much is because it was the sequel to cod 4 which was incredible.
yeah I feel like CoD games are worth it if you skip 3 or 4 iterations. Eventually they accumulate enough change to be a sequel.
-Pyromaniac-

same. I was INCREDIBLY hyped for the sequel to COD4. What a crash down to earth that was. Very disappointed.
I really liked Black Ops so I'm pretty damn hyped with this, but like with all COD games these days, gotta be weary/cautious. Also I was pretty damn hyped for black ops as well since I loved world at war.
MW2 was like a massive event. I know the sequels have sold more, but MW2 was the most I've seen the general public ever get excited for a video game.
And I actually liked MW2 quite a bit, unlike most people here. Certainly more than MW3.
loud=/=good
MW2 is the only midnight release I ever been to. So hyped after how incredibly good COD4 was.
the hype is going down but the sales are going up. fucking COD.
Only one game left that can get that level of hype anytime soon...
GTA completely slipped my mind. Truuuuuuuuu. I wasn't there for the midnight release nor did I pay much attention.. But how was the hype for Halo 3?

Didn't BO sell more than MW3?

Halo 3 hype was huge too but i don't think it will ever get that much again. It's on decline.
-Pyromaniac-

yep. Black Ops was the highest selling game of all time in amurrica with 14+ million I believe. And that's just USA. MW3 didn't even match that.
Black Ops 2 will be the game where we see if it's the modern warfare brand that's dipping, or the brand altogether.

In my area, Halo 3 was the biggest hype I've ever seen. Nothing has come close to it.
According to the banned charts website, each game has sold more than the last.
Black Ops - 13.55 for 360 , 11.53 for PS3
MW3 - 14.51 for 360, 12.36 for PS3
And I understand why. Halo 2&3 for life. Lol. Yup. I'm that guy stuck in the past.

I am sure mario bros 3 sold more than 14 million in america.
Life sales are stronger for BO but MW3 I think still crushed BO's launch sales
EDIT: maybe not im not sure lol
Halo 3 was pretty huge then too, It was one of the big launch titles. I gotta agree tho, I don't see it touching that level for awhile now.

I'm the same way as you. Halo is done to me with Halo 3.

Last i heard was that they are getting a texture install.
I hate to be a party pooper but I wouldn't even believe anything the devs have to say regarding the PS3 version. Especially after how bad Black Ops was on that system. Or so I hear.
-Pyromaniac-
Member
I didn't think it was THAT bad, just inferior. Anyway I'm pretty sure they haven't said anything other than the usual things are improved overall with the engine and whatnot.
Also the texture installation is nothing major:

++ same engine so I expect same performance. I don't care what they say. I'll believe it when I see it.
