A Quad Q6600 and an HD6850 will still trick this game out right?

 

[legbone]

I'm on PS3 so that might be why. I'm wired and have a really good internet connection so it's not that. Right now I'm attributing it to launch day problems.

Also, for some reason when I hold down the button to sprint my gun is switching to the alt fire. Really weird because i've never had that happen in any COD game before. Right now I'm playing a loadout with no grenade launcher so it doesn't happen.

yeah, probably launch issues. i use my ps3 wired also since it's wifi is utter shit (i have a launch unit). and i don't have issues with it as long as it's wired.

 

[Darkerkamikaze]

anybody here tried the specialst yet? unlocks at level 20.

I've been messing around with it, seems alright.

 

[Omiee]

i just cant find the option to control this on the pc with a controller.

if thats not in like in black ops im going to bring it back to the store tomorrow and trading it in.

this sucks =(

 

[MustacheBandit_]

i feel horrible that I activated this game (it was steam gifted to me). i wish i could regift it and give it to somebody who likes this crap. the game is soooo bad

 

[Shady859]

I Miss the dive feature, seriously.... I'm at work counting the hours till I play all night.

So according to that update. We could sell our founder status card and that person could still use it after the 13th... You know Ebay gamers have loose pockets...

 

[Brian Fellows]

Oh christ Black Ops all over again. Let me guess, it's near impossible to snipe properly as every roost has like 3 entrances?

IMO its way worse than Black Ops. Every map on this game feels like Silo from Black Ops to me.

 

[KaYotiX]

elite site still down?? geezz

 

[vilmer_]

I've only been able to play for about a half an hour or so in campaign mode and I have to say it really looks like absolute total crap (PS3). Regardless, the frames per second are smooth as butter.

 

[R2D4]

Well the Hardened Edition is a let down. Why such a big box for a dumb art booklet and credit card sized thing. Just cram them both in the steel book. What a waste of money and paper.

 

[Omiee]

seriously anyone?

i found sites that said it had an option to be controller by a gamepad or 360 controller but i cant find the option

How does the system know that I'm playing the hardened edition (which includes Elite)? Do I need to enter the founder code in that 360 Elite application or something?

Crash is still the best CoD map ever

Your opinion is just so right.

 

[Interficium]

IMO its way worse than Black Ops. Every map on this game feels like Silo from Black Ops to me.

This (the sheer number of pathways) was apparently an intentional design philosophy in MW3, to prevent teams from getting locked down and spawn-trapped. Unfortunately the sheer tininess of most of the maps, combined with the fact that due to the number of pathways it's extremely fast to get to point a to point b, makes "getting killed by the guy who just killed you" or other random death-by-spawning-enemy nonsense the #1 way you will ever die in MW3.

#2 is the 50/50 around-the-corner-who's-hipfire-registers-a-headshot coin flip.

 

[Card Boy]

How's the PC version? Better port than Black Ops?

Other than no FoV option, no console commands, and making dedicated servers unranked its excellent.

Don't know I haven't played it yet.

 

[Kyoufu]

I've been playing for 8 hours straight.

Falling in love.

 

[Proelite]

SAME HERE.

WTF man. I can't believe that it doesn't allow me to play with a controller on PC. Unless I am missing some hack.

This game feels terrible on the PC with M&K.

 

[mxgt]

This game feels terrible on the PC with M&K.

Uh, no. It feels as tight as ever with M&K.

 

[Miggytronz]

I told people whom sought Hardened this week it really isnt worth it to try and hunt down. Its core product was the game and ELITE. oooooo concept art............

 

[The Antitype]

I am convinced that there is some black magic deep inside the Quake 3 source code that just makes weapons 'feel' good.

It's not something that can easily be attributed to presentation, but you just really get a sense (lag aside, obviously) of when you're landing shots. It's not just a CoD thing - it was back in Quake 3 arena too, when people were trading rockets with rail-guns.

I will say, I kinda wish the guns SOUNDED as powerful as they 'felt' though. Take the sounds from BF and the weapon feedback from CoD, and you might have legit 'Gun Porn'.

 

[Sanic]

Other than no FoV option, no console commands, and making dedicated servers unranked its excellent.

Excellent. Just wanted to make sure I wouldn't run into performance issues like I did with Blops.

 

[LifEndz]

This engine is really starting to show its age. I have the PS3 version and the colors just look so bland. I tried upping the color bar on my tv and it didn't do much. I can overlook that were it not for the lag, which makes the whole online experience really frustrating. I will say that guys go down much quicker than they used to. I'm going to jump into the single player campaign to see whether the sprint/alt fire problem is something unique to the multiplayer.

I won't have a complete opinion on the game until I get some games going with my friends, but at this point I'm kinda glad I didn't spend the extra 30 bucks for the hardened edition...got a feeling I'll have re-sold this long before the dlc comes out.

 

[Proelite]

Uh, no. It feels as tight as ever with M&K.

I am pretty sure I'll get "re-comfortable" with M&K, but I have been gaming single player shooters with the controller for a while. I miss the feedback and accessibility.

 

[Omiee]

Uh, no. It feels as tight as ever with M&K.

im sure it does for most of the people, but i loved playing black ops on my big screen on the couch with a controller

is there seriously no controller option in the pc version?

for fuck sake

have you played rage? just wondering. it is some serious gun porn.

Feels very tight to me. I'm really enjoying the pc version thus far. Have only played mp, havent tried the sp yet.

Only issue I have noticed is slowdown when going for the knife.

 

[kuYuri]

Does anyone else get this problem where after certain things in game (joining a party, joining lobbies, etc.) the game freezes for a few seconds. I'm getting that hardcore and it's annoying.

 

[NinjaFridge]

Just finished the SP. Pretty bad, I know COD is all about the MP but still. Short, boring, and totally forgettable. Worse than Black Ops and MW2, and much worse then MW.

Yep. Seriously annoying.

 

[KaiserBecks]

I've only played a couple of hours, but so far, it makes me like Modern Warfare 2.

I have always felt the same way about these games, even on the 360. The feeling of movement and feedback in these games is amazing to me.

I'm sure a lot of it is due to the framerate being so high, but there is more to it than that.

Which version? It always helps if you're complaining about technical issues to mention which version.

I'm feeling so bad right now that I wasted money on this game. Seriously disappointed by what I've played so far.

 

[The Antitype]

Oh yes, I loved RAGE. One of my top 3 single-player FPS games of the year, alongside Bulletstorm and Crysis 2.

Is there a chart of the levels and unlocks yet? I want to know what I'm aiming for as far as the M4 and hybrid sight.

 

[Syph Medwes]

Holy crap, Team Defender on Fallen is the most fun I've had in a COD game in a non-S&D playtype in ages.

 

[pelican]

Having bad connection problems on the PC. Either not getting into games or server timing out. For some reason my NAT is moderate.

Anyone else having the same issues?

I'm feeling so bad that I wasted time going to work when I could be playing the MP. Seriously disappointed by having to put up with this crap

 

[Brian Fellows]

I like that when you are trying to join a friends match it doesn't dick you around for 30 seconds before finally letting you know the match is full.

 

[RedSwirl]

So are public games on official servers or just P2P?

 

[Dreaver]

Quick inpressions from 1-2 hour of games.
- Game plays like Modern Warfare. Which I prefer above Blops.
- Game feels better balanced then Modern Warfare 2.
- Maps are grey, urban and dull.
- Graphics aren't changed. Sound is improved a little bit.
- I loved the fact MW2 had a lot of vertical combat. (<3 Faleva)
- Recoil is back baby, good thing.
- As stated before, SMGs feel more like SMGs and Assault more like Assault.
- Shitload of unlocks. Always fun.
- Damage is way too high.

 

[Nora Kisaragi]

Idk if this validates its own thread so i'll post it here

http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Mo...ed-Buildings-From-Modern-Warfare-1-36816.html

Apparantly the game contains recycled buildings from Modern Warfare 1, yikes.

 

[Ken Masters]

Holy shit.

The difference in graphics between single-player and multiplayer is like night and day. Two totally different games.

I don't remember a gap like this since Rainbow Six Vegas in 2006, where the multiplayer basically looked like Rainbow Six 3 on the original xbox.

I remember that, R6 Vegas was a fantastic looking game at the time, then when you switch to MP it was a port of the Xbox game

Yeah, I am still seeing those yellow diggers and I am sure the drinks machines are in there also.
Seriously they could have at least given the drinks machines a new skin FFS.
Things like this just stink of pure laziness.

This ^^ soo much.

Hated in Blops were there was nothing to unlock - I dont play CoD to get a good K ratio, or to win the match, i play it to unlock callsigns & emblems

Colors have nothing to do with the engine, and everything to do with the artists.

[Trexid]

Played about 2 1/2 hours last night (xbox360), got to level 17. Loving this game a lot, high damage is a welcome change from Black Ops. Thoroughly enjoying the SPAS-12, feels like the MW2 SPAS to me <3.

- Played with a group of 4 friends and we had no party or chat trouble, didn't experience any lag in the 10 or so games we played.
- Stuck with TDM so far and enjoying the speed and hit confirms when shooting people.
- Support class is pretty fun so far!
- SCAR + Silencer is beauty, M4 is nice too.

Only 3 1/2 more hours of soul crushing work until I can wait till my wife falls asleep to crack out again tonight lol

I got the Hardened edition and the field journal is pretty a cool looking souvenir. Felt like a champ last night walking out of best buy with a Hardened copy. Need more!
