Still haven't seen it confirmed anywhere, anyone know if MOAB is in all modes or just private match? Fucking retarded if they brought that crap to ranked games.

 

[twinturbo2]

Stupid question, but will there be any Steam sales of the previous COD games? I got COD4 from the summer sale, and I'm waiting for World at War, MW2 and Black Ops to go on sale before completing my collection.

The PS3 version is really smooth online, even in Ground War (9 vs 9 players).

Thanks, that's a good thing to read. I hope to be that way when the game releases to everyone.

I was obviously kidding, but I do think Pres is the most entertaining cod commentator. His rants and videos are hilarious. On topic, I liked Wings of Redemption's videos back in the MW2 days. His gameplay may be a bit on the boring side, but he was very insightful about map layouts, weapons, etc. Not sure how his channel turned out after MW2 though as I did not play Blops a lot.

I'm fine with it since it doesn't end/win the game.

Do Titles in here will unlock in the same way in MW2? Or you buy them? I loved those in MW2.

It's in ranked games, but it's still a 24/25 kill streak with your gun. Not easy, not common.

Awesome news! Apparently what was left at IW was still good enough to make a relatively equal cross-platform game.

No but it's just going to result in boosting/more camping/ignoring objectives. Makes absolutely no sense to put it anywhere near ranked games. But then again they seem to have made quick scoping even more effective.

If you want a more grounded commentary that you can take seriously, WoR is the guy. He still does commentaries for all FPS pretty much.

PARIS -- In a heist worthy of any video game, brazen French bandits stole more than $1 million worth of copies of the new blockbuster first-person shooter "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3," newspaper Le Parisien reported.

Two trucks containing thousands of copies of the game -- due to hit stores Tuesday -- were hijacked within an hour of each other Saturday morning in the suburbs of the French capital, with the value of the loot estimated at €780,000, or a little over $1 million.

In the first incident, the attackers hit a truck carrying the games with a vehicle, forcing the delivery drivers to stop and inspect the damage. They were confronted with two men wearing ski masks and armed with knives, who threw tear gas and made off with the truck.

An hour later, a truck carrying another consignment came across a vehicle blocking the road. When it stopped, three armed men jumped out, and one of them pointed a handgun at the driver, forcing him to abandon t

I cannot fathom labelling WoR 'grounded' after his meltdown documented on YouTube, culminating in his breaking of a controller and pleading for the tape to be buried...

I don't see a point in boosting for it. I'm sure people will do it but after while they find out it's basically a complete waste of time, I think it won't be a problem.

It doesn't end a match like the nuke and kill everyone in the game. It just kills all enemies. What's so bad about it?

 

[Hanmik]

the danish site gamereactor.dk just answered a question about the review..

Jeg ved faktisk ikke meget om formatet, da Activision var ret strikse og kun tillod anmeldere at spille under låste døre. Dvs. vi fik tre dage med spillet, og sendte vores svenske kollega (ham der også skrev besøgsartiklen) på vegne af norden.

I do not really know much about what format they played the game on, since Activision was quite strict and only allowed the reviewers to play under locked doors. That way we had three days with the game and sent our Swedish colleague (he also wrote the article about our visit to activision) on behalf of the north.

it seems strange to only allow playing games under strict conditions, when you are supposed to do a review..

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Hour and a half and level 14 or 15, all went down hill from the first game, meh hosts.

Gunns4hire is a pretty good commentator on YT thats unbiased.

search TheGUNNSHOP on YT.

There was a guy that always started his videos in the same way:

Hi, my name is "...?" (can't remember) and I make Call of Duty videos.

What was his name? He was good.

This dude?

Yes! Thank you kind sir. I always liked the way he talked. Very easy to listen, good tips, good gameplay. Good chill out attitude.

Is he still around? Wonder if he will do anything similar in MW3.

Oh, he's still around. He works for Machinima; you'll pretty much only find his videos on the MachinimaRespawn channel.

Thanks for answering. Good to know, always liked him.

Man, I can't believe the nostalgia I have from watching MW2 videos. There's nothing better for me than playing with some good old friends on a cold winter day.

Didn't watch the whole thing, as it looks extremely boring. But how is that a meltdown? He bitched when he was losing. Don't we all? Or am I missing the 'meltdown' part of the video?

What about the bit where he destroys his controller and calls someone a faggot? And when the guy's being empathetic and says "We've all been there" he responds with a polite 'FUCK YOU!'.

That's pretty meltdowny.

 

[BackwardsSuggestions]

Just went and payed off my pre-order. Now, I wait for midnight. 0_0

Same. Well, the store opens at 10.

I'll be enjoying Battlefield 3 as my multiplayer FPS this year, but am definitely going to play the singleplayer on PC, I want to know the conclusion to the story.

Anybody know when reviews drop?

 

[Rendition]

Does MOW3 or COD: Elite have skill based online matching like Halo Reach does?

 

[Ilive1up]

when do the reviews go up?

I can add a small disclaimer and say that i havnt tried every map yet, so i cant say for sure if some maps are better or worse than others. But i have tried about 4 different maps in Ground War and i havnt noticed a single framerate drop I have noticed some small lags once in a while, but that might be due to the host, i dont think that it is game related at least, otherwise i think it would be constant lag.

Do Titles in here will unlock in the same way in MW2? Or you buy them? I loved those in MW2.

It is like in MW2, you have to complete challenges to unlock them. There are no currency in MW3 like it is in Black Ops. Everything in MW3 is unlocked through challenges and leveling up (as far from what i have seen so far at least).

 

[bobs...onGaf]

CoD 1v1's are pretty stupid. Especially if one person camps. Not sure if thats what happened in the video, but CoD 1v1's are a pretty flawed test of skill.

tomorrow morning 08:00 UK time..

Wow, that's a late embargo.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I'm kinda glad there are no emblems in this one. It was cool seeing some creative designs in Black Ops but it got tiresome seeing swastikas in your face in every match.

does the constant shift of host have any effect on gameplay..? (or do hosts not change? )

Was gonna say... is there any sort of customization besides the weapons' camouflage?

After that match he then went on to offer Syndicate $3000 to play a rematch and let him win...

The guys a joke - There was another video recently where he was claiming to be a 'Level 1 Xbox Administrator' and then threatened to ban someone in the lobby lol

something, something, lack of confidence

I think you can have the thing etched onto your gun no? I forget.

same as mw2 and black ops

Also penises. The maturity of the community is quite obvious.

I hope there are a bit more to choose from this time around in the emblem/title department.

 

[BackwardsSuggestions]

So the suckers (i.e me) can buy it at midnight before the reviewers get then to change their mind,

I only saw that a few times. The emblems I see in every match now are boobs or rabbits humping :-/

The number of XBL pop-ups and notifications in that video is crazy.

 

[Hanmik]

So the suckers (i.e me) can buy it at midnight before the reviewers get then to change their mind,

don´t think the first reviews will be very harsh.. I read that Activision only allowed reviewers to test the game under locked doors, and they only had a limited playtime with the game.

Can't wait to get my hands on this tomorrow. Who has the best youtube channel for MW3? I want to watch some multiplayer videos.

I'm not even buying MW3, but I'm looking forward to his RTC.
