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

It's just SO samey; samey to the point that it actively annoys the shit out of me. It looks dated, it feels dated... Surely they could've done something to change up the aesthetic a bit - even just to make it seem fresh. I can't be excited over something that I feel I've experienced 3 times before.

Oh, well. I think I'm a bit over the very nature of CoD. It all seems a bit "juvenile", if you get me.

PC FOV.

What's up with it? Adjustable? Decent at default? I wouldn't even download MW2 for free because I can't take that FOV at a desk.

is there anything here i can tweak to get the ~ console command menu happening?

Or any other graphics tweaks?



Sorry for the massive post. Thought we should start a think tank here.
It is likely that, much like in MW2, if they don't want you to use the console, you won't be able to use the console without changing things deeper than the config files.

will learn eventually
No ranked dedicated servers? And to think I was so close to buying this... Could have been my first CoD since CoD2.
 
Really struggling to join games on PS3 at the moment, its pretty much failed the last 10 attempts to connect to random games, damn release day blues :(

60 default, non adjustable in the menu.

It's pretty awful as I'm used to 90
 
In just my fourth CoD match ever I call in an attack helicopter and it just decimates the other team. +100, +100, +100... I'm in love.

Still no Elite......

Still no Founder's status.....

I paid £35 for this bullshit.....

But then again, they created Survival Mode.....redeemed! :)
 
Really enjoying this so far, played some multiplayer and spec ops, thoughts so far

Survival is really fun, really nice addition
The first few spec ops missions were a lot of fun, hope the rest are as good
Callsigns :)
Recoil is back, awesome
Tonnes of unlocks
Performs much better than Blops on PS3
Gunplay is really fun
Maps, I'm not really sure about, not bad but I can't say that they're great so far
Doesn't seem nearly as broken as MW2

So overall pretty good, gonna try campaign now. Loved MW1's campaign, enjoyed MW2's, WaW's was meh, and Blops was the single worst single player I've ever played. So hoping for an improvement over Blops
 
Alright so I think I'm starting to get used to this game now. The M16 is useless in this game now though :(. It makes me sad since its been my main goto gun in cod4, mw2 and black ops but its junk in this game. They added a slight bit of extra time in between the bullets and I can never get good shots with it. The type 95 however, awesome. And the Scar with silencer is great as well. Also takes a bit to get used to stalker.

Also, the SPAS still has range but it doesnt seem to have the power it used to. :/

Anyone having issues with sound? I swear it seems as if 5.1 isn't working or the I just can't hear anything behind me.

I noticed this right away with the speech in the intro sequence, I could hardly hear it. I'm on PS3 version.

If they would make scavenger replenish equipment and grenades and added shotguns as secondaries then I would probably like this a lot after a couple of retro map packs.

Anyone else really like Arkaden or however it's spelled. Good times in that joint.
My most hated map so far.

I feel the exact same way. It's a boring game to look at and play. I just spent $60 for a new map pack.

It's starting to look like I made the right decision in waiting for GameFly.

Still want impressions on Spec Ops Survival though. How does it compare to Gears 3 Horde?

Holy shit at the lineups. I didn't expect a line-up at noon. Haha.

Got my copy and dog tags because I pre-ordered, and that got me late for work. :p
 
So Elite still not up yet, right? Mine is telling me to play a game of Black Ops; I don't have Black Ops for the system I bought Elite for.

This game is so fast. It's like the ultimate ADHD shooter. I would never recommend it to anyone I know. It's a fucking rehash.

I'm having fun btw, Kill Confirmed is cool.

Just beat the campaign, didn't have much of an idea what was going on story wise for some of it, but all of the locations were amazing to look it. Tons of fun. I am going to jump into the multiplayer in a bit.

I would really, really like one of those. Was it some sort of reward for being at the midnight launch?

Sorry for the late reply! Well, sort of, they had around 100 Steelbooks so it was a first to come gets it but since there was a lot of people at the midnight launch they all (first 100) got it.

I took some pictures so you (and the others GAFfers) can see it better.

Everything is tsundere to me
Just finished the campaign on the Wii. It was short, only about 5 hours or so, but damn if it wasn't a ride. It was really well done on the Wii too. Some stuff I didn't think would be in there was and NYC was competently rendered. I am not disappoint.

I'll have to play through the HD campaign to double check, but otherwise, thank God I'm done with the fucking Modern Warfare story arc,
Figures that they'd kill everyone but Price
