official Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

My little brother managed to get a copy of the PS3 version early. He told me that he acquired it from someone at a flea market. As sketchy as that sounds, the copy is pretty legit. He was playing online all day today and as for me... I'm still jealous. And a little mad that he didn't tell me about it as soon as he got it. I would've bought copies for myself and my friends.

My brother's copy isn't arriving until release day. Had an email from GAME yesterday saying that Activision's put out a delivery embargo on all UK retailers; they're not allowed to ship out any copies until Monday. :/

I was watching Spike last night and the played the new BF3 trailer then a few minutes they played the MW3 trailer. Sorry, they just do not compare. I know MW3 is on the PC so the graphics have to be better than what is being shown on TV. Why would they not show the best this game can be? Or is that it? It's just not fair when they run the commercials back to back.

Man, I can't find a pre-order for the Hardened Edition in Canada. The only websites I've come across that even have it listed are Best Buy and Future Shop, and they're both sold out. Gamestop and Amazon (the Canadian versions) don't have it listed at all, which is a little odd. Still not entirely sure if I want the regular edition or the Hardened Edition, but if I decide to go for the latter, it sounds like I might have to line up outside of Best Buy in the cold. That's a little more dedication than what I'm prepared for ;).

I hate to say it but the game will more or less look the same on consoles as well as PCs.

Check this for comparisons of MW2 across all three platforms.

Thinking I might cancel my pre-order from Gamestop and swap it to Walmart. They're having a huge tournament Monday night and I'm sorta interested in doing that.

That literally looks absolutely identical to Modern Warfare 2. The voices, the sounds, the interface. Maybe once the map packs come out and they include them in a purchase for Modern Warfare 3 with the price still remaining at $60, then I'll get it. No way I'll get this at launch date though like I did with Black Ops.

The new Point Streak systems looks excellent, though!

Going to purchase the Hardened Edition, the fact that you can keep the maps after your COD Elite subscription ends is awesome.

You may not even have to pre-order it, winner gets a free copy.

So, there graphics are so bad and not to date, they have to use this gimmick to get sales? (<this is a joke)

Pretty good ad. Though still, single player (campaign) imo is all mw3 has going for it.

I honestly think I can take most people here locally, I consider myself a really good CoD player. At least in TDM. I'm hearing that it's Survival Mode and also heard it's Local MP. I'm sorta confused on that part.

Pre-Ordered my Hardened Edition from Sainsburys for ?59 and had the email this morning saying it was Dispatched today.

Holy crap, after watching some footage of MW3 this game looks pretty much identical to MW2. WTF. Like someone said above, even the sounds, voices, graphics are the same. lol.

If it plays like CoD 4, I have no issues with this.

And that attitude is what is holding the game industry back. Enjoy your stale bread.

Stale bread makes great french toast.

The engine is so old, I don't know what you're expecting from them. I mean, yeah, a new engine would be great but most likely when the new consoles come out will something will be made. I'm just saying, CoD4 was a great MP game. If it plays anywhere near that than I'm ok with it. Don't hate on what makes me like a game as it might not appeal to you.

[SimplySchizo]

I'd be damned if I paid full retail for a game not much different from that of a game over 5 years old.

Madden comes to mind for some reason...

I agree with this, yet, I will only buy IW CoD's from here on out. I didn't like WaW and I didn't like Black Ops. Madden was only relevant to me back in 2004-2005 with Mike Vick and Ray Lewis on the cover. I do believe, Call of Duty can offer a lot more. Although, this is my view and I don't like Battlefield, I didn't like either BF:BC2 or BF3. It's preference.

[Green_Eye]

I have to say after watching a lot of footage of this game I have decided that it is just not worth a purchase, in my opinion this game is completely inferior to BF3 and does not warrant spending my hard earned cash especially considering that it offers nothing new, I always found that team work is virtually non existent when it comes to CoD and that is why I cannot be bothered with it, Battlefield understands team work and is why it will probably take over my life :p This is not an attack on the game because it is a solid game but after playing Battlefield 3 it feels like I am taking 12 steps back in terms of actual gameplay. I may end up recieving it as a present in which case I will probably finish the SP just for the sake of closure and then sell the game. The MP is truly dead for me...

I loved WaW. The best in this new day of gaming. Though I am a ww2 historian, so biased as it is. I hate the modern warfare games and I wish we could go back to ww2 gaming. I play Madden daily so, here I think the point is moot, as it depends on the gamer.

Exactly how I feel, word for word.

I am going to pick the game up on Friday, I am looking forward to it. No need to fix something that is not broke, I still think the games looks good and plays good as well. The game is arcade and not set to be realism like BF.

There is no grain of realism in BF3 either. It's just kids shooting rockets in narrow corridors. I made a mistake buying this... up for sale

I liked COD 5, and Black OPs but I did not care for MW2. I wish the devs would just did to WWii type action.

so much hate on madden, the new madden's are pretty good. not as good to other sports game like NHL and FIFA, but still damn good.
