(Hesitant) Modern Warfare 3 Thread

Haha, quit being such a fan boy. Several million copies of the game will be sold, and a vast majority of those people will continue to play and enjoy it. Yeah, you can think it's no good, but when you are outnumbered millions to 1, you aren't going to hold the community's opinion.

Same for BF3. You think it's great. That doesn't make it a great game.

actually if you're in the game and ask someone, they always say the game is good, but they'd play something else if this wasn't the only game their friends play, and their friends for the same reason. The entire series is one of those stupid fads that everyone does/has even though the majority realize there is no need for the b.s. of cod.

Johnny, playing games is a choice, let alone playing with friends. What you are saying here is that the reason for everyone playing the game is because 1 person decided to and everyone else followed suite. That is horrible logic and completely incorrect.

And yeah, I saw that. There is another story of a many paying close to $2000 for an early copy of the game

really, then i guess my and my brothers at least 20 friends who have said they wouldn't buy it if it wasn't the only thing everyone else was playing are all just stupid. and it wasn't one person deciding to, it was all the good cod's of cod4 and before, after then it goes to this

good news is they did it right, i mean if you're gunna steal 6k copies of mw3, might as well wreck a car, drop some tear gas, and drive away in another van, although it isn't a good thing, i must applaud their effort, even if they are french :P

You are seriously saying that you based your decision off of your friends' decision who based their decision off their friends' decision. Where did it start? And if you want to play a different game, hell, play a different game. You can find plenty of new friends online.
 
As a fan of both games, they both have their qualities. I'm still split on buying it, since they screwed the PC community over with Black Ops having performance issues where people with i7s and $300+ video cards have stuttering to where they were unable to play the game. I will never buy a CoD game on release for this reason alone. They have no respect for the PC community, and just push them along the side and cater to the console kids.

But to say one game is better than the other is subjective. Battlefield 3 is a new game. It feels differently from all the other battlefields. The first time a CoD game changed the way it felt to play was CoD 4. I still like Blops and MW2, but they're overpriced and basically expansion packs.

That being said, just because something is popular and people enjoy it doesn't mean everyone will enjoy it. Nickelback has 11.5 million fans on facebook. Enough said.

I agree and disagree. There is a difference between clicking a button on facebook and paying $60 for a game.

And you can't blame a game company for their support for consoles. That's where they get a majority of their money.

You don't see the creators of Pokemon trading cards trying to sell the cards to senior citizens. It's a waste of time and money, so why bother?

Oh no, I can blame a company when the support for PC is non-existent. I would rather have them not release a PC version, instead of releasing a broken game, have them say its our fault that it doesn't work, and provide very little patches or fixes for the game. If they release a broken product, I hold them responsible. (This is about Blops)

And yes, that is where the majority of the money is, but the PC community is very tight-knit and the hardcore supporters will eat up any game with great PC support and if a game isn't just a console port. There still is money to be made in PC.

no, it is my, their, and many other people's opinion, the thing about playing another game is that i want to play games with my friends, we don't all have the same games, cod is like the one game we all have, but really we all just play it, we don't like it, he don't completely hate it, so we just deal with it, the only truly good thing cod has had since cod4 was zombos, which over the past few months i've prob got 2x the time of multi in zombos, and of course the main person i play that with, thei dad threw their xbox and now they can't play it, so i doubt i'll be playing cod for a good long time other than maybe a few random matches. DA:Origins and GTA IV here i come, tomorrow, too late to start it up now.

I've played just about every FPS since Wolfenstein, the original.

They are all just about the same with a little spice thrown in here and there. I tend to save COD for my PS3 and BF for the PC. That's what I plan to do this time.
 
Watched my roommates play it. If it wasn't for several little differences and different guns and killstreaks, it looks like a DLC for MW2.

Id have to disagree, i dont think people play games if they dont enjoy them to atleast some degree.

I would never play a game because my friends play it. All my friends have consoles yet i would never dream of swapping my pc for one :P

If your not enjoying the game your playing youve wasted money and only helped make the game worst by making the devs think its what people like.

i also dont like cod for playing with friends, i feel like it is impossible to get teamwork in any of them, other than maybe cod 4. Other than cod 4 there all pretty much just massive killstreak whore houses, the guy who gets that first ac130 or w.e it is in mw3 will generally pwn.

Games like bf3 take this out and throw teamwork in which is much more enjoyable for me personally.

but for the lack of anything to do other than keep up with my k/d score cod mw3 just isnt the game for me :P
 
I do agree with you, Black Ops (or CoD in general) doesn't have a whole lot of teamwork, people just generally go where they want and end up dying within 30-60 seconds and start over.
 
thats why i dont like it, its sooo repetitive, nothing changes, its shoot a few guys die, rinse repeat.

I liked it when i was younger but iv grown up a bit so now its just boring :P

That's like most FPS... the only reason BF3 is more of a team strategy than COD is that on BF3 you cannot go around lone wolf style otherwise don't get anywere. So their simple minds clue in to stick together and act like a team. This takes several games for this to take place, as you can notice a few lone wolf players running around every game.

Hi all anybody having trouble getting on a MW3 server.
Click to expand...

bahahahah... seriously? they are having trouble with that game? Doesn't it use the same server as Black Ops?

My guess maybe like ever other game, a sudden rush of people playing it has slowed the server down. But as far as i knew, it was the same server, maybe i am wrong.
 
Just watched the first mission on youtube. . .
I think this game is designed for campaign. Not sure.
Why are people saying this game is MW 2.5? lol :D
 
I got it last night, its pretty fun but the multiplayer on the 360 is a little junky right now. All in all i dont feel like its anything that is to revolutionary...
