Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 |OT| Got 99 Problems, But Sales Ain't One.

Is playing with a party still as terrible as every other CoD game before it?

If you still can't get a party into a lobby without the group disbanding, or someone not making it in and throwing us into the loading screen before we can even back out to get the party back together then I am going to laugh so hard.

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!

How is the field journal content wise? Is it an interesting read?

UPS is sitting on my package in my city, so I'll have to wait to open my Hardened Edition tomorrow. Oh well, that's what I get for choosing free value shipping.

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.

Ok so I've read through this thread...I am still on the fence about buying this. I'll probably pick it up over Black Friday if I can be convinced to buy it.

Anyways, disgruntled COD fan here. Convince to buy or not to buy.

-I loved MW1 and how every gun could be used
-I hated no scoping
-I hated MW2, WAW was ehhh, and BLOPS was ehhh
-I hated how games after COD4 were all people using AR's with the occasional SMG, noob tube, and over powered shot guns.
-Death Streaks are dumb
-The kill streaks were overpowered in MW2/BLOPS
-I'd rather not prestige (don't have time to do it over and over) but I don't want to miss out on big unlocks
-I really enjoyed MW1/MW2's campaign. BLOPS was pretty good too.
-I liked Zombies before they added all of the crazy things to it, I liked the simple mode that it was before DLC with WAW, hated it in the DLC/BLOPS (I don't know if there is any similar mode in MW3, I know there was not in MW2)
-I want to use a variety of weapons ARs, LMGs, Snipers, etc
-I want quality multiplayer maps ala MW1 not MW2,WAW,and BLOPS
-Spec Ops was fun


GAF, based on this, would I like MW3?

Anybody else disappointed with the Osprey Gunner?

Seems kind of dumb to drop 4 care packages when I can't get any of them before my teammates pick them up. :/

Call of Duty Elite site seems to be working now.

Bit of a joke that it has been down until now, did they not expect many people to use it? =/

MW3 is a lot more like MW1 than MW2.

Look, I think the game is fun, I really only have issues with the maps (they're bad) and the overpowered guns. The perks, streaks, and everything else seems pretty nice. I guess they can patch the gun damage, but the maps are pretty bad so far.

I think you'd like the game more than MW2, WaW, or BLOPS though.

I am convinced that there is some black magic deep inside the Quake 3 source code that just makes weapons 'feel' good.
It's no magic. It's a lot of sweat and tears from the developers. Some developers who give a shit about those "minor" things happen to be successful with their games.

Jesus the Type 95 is just stupid powerful. Normally I am terrible with burst fire weapons but I am tearing the other team to shreds with this gun.

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

I know. It was an empty attempt on my part to rectify the issue. Needless to say it didn't do much.

Is anyone else experiencing serious in-game lag? It's absolutely terrible for me. My connection is always faultless as well. Ruining the game. Bullets don't register and I'm warping periodically. On Xbox in UK if that makes any difference.

At this point I'm sure EA is paying a large group of people to troll every MW3 related thing on the internet.

Perhaps, but the fact that there aren't even close to an equal amount of positive user reviews (considering COD has more than 3x the players than BF) is a little weird.

Also people overreacting. I was let down by the weapon balance and maps last night, but there's no way I'd go troll metacritic as a reaction. People are doing it for that reason and because there are hiccups with Elite.

Sorry for the massive post. Thought we should start a think tank here.
 
I'm primarily a Halo guy, so I guess I'm just not noticing that the weapons in this game are more powerful than previous CoD games?

CoD to me has always felt like 'first guy to see the other guy and pull the trigger wins' to me...

Other than the code to get Elite going by redeeming, do we need to get into Elite for anything else (since it's currently down)?

A large chunk of my kills in the other games come when people fire hit me a few times but can't finish me off. I then turn and fire a few short bursts and BLAMMO! They dead.
 
Question guys..so I got mw3 for my ps3. I had cod4 for mu ps3 as well. However I have waw, mw2, and blops on my 360. So on my name card those games don't show up. But waw and played by my friend on my ps3 till like level 8. Can I somehow put my 360 levels on my ps3 tag? Through elite?

It's actually more like MW2 but with bad maps.
 
This game plays like a Black Ops/MW2 hybrid to me. Also no maps will ever be worse than the MW2 ones, those were atrocious and bordering on offensive. These maps seem like they'll take more time to learn, that's neither a positive or a negative to me, just the only conclusion I've drawn so early.

GAF, based on this, would I like MW3?
After some of the impressions that MW3 was more cod4 than the other were, I bought it. Well, its not. The weapons kill you to fast. Killstreaks are still overpowered, but now that you die so fast people don't seem to get them as often. Campaign is not good, the worst out of the mw series and I think Black Ops campaign was better.

If your looking for a more cod4 style gameplay, I don't think MW3 is it.
 
All this game needs to be better than MW2 is a significantly lower amount of air clutter, and less stupid-looking perks and weapon combinations. Seeing a dude skate around with dual shotguns just doesn't... work.
