official Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Is it just me or is anyone else disappointed with the MP? I mean the graphics are basically the same as MW2. Black Ops was way better IMHO. Looks like I'll be going back to playing BF3... pathetic version of MW for its standards. Didn't think I was paying 60 bucks for MW2 again.. expected better.

Does MW3 have vehicles?

COD online is like the greatest form of crack/heroin ever created... you'll suck at the start, fumble a bit, think the high isn't worth it cause you are doing it wrong but after giving it another shot, you'll see why it's the best drug ever.

Thanks for the encouragement, I may try it.

It's amazing at all of the people complaining about this game, it is a direct sequel to MW2. There is no need to go and rebuild a game from the ground up when what you have works just fine. The lighting seems to have been upgraded over the past games which is nice as that seems to make or break a game graphically to me. The game looks good to me and it's nice they didn't change a formula that just simply works. As for the same gun sounds and models, in real life a M4 from 2009 is not going to look or sound any different 2 years later and as this game seems to pick right up where MW2 left off there is no need to go changing all of that for no reason. I will be picking the game up on Friday and I am looking forward to it, the CoD games have never really disappointed me as I know what I am getting.

So all they have to do is make sure that every CoD game in the MW series, picks up where the last one left off.. No need to innovate ever then.

and you have the other guys all trying to copy them, talk **** to hype their own failed products and all in the meanwhile wish they were half as successful as these guys. people troll while they laugh all the way to the bank. it's actually ****ing hilarious.

I don't see how the "other guys" are copying them? I mean, COD isn't the first military shooter... so technically COD is copying the other guys ;)

lol.. "Advanced UAV"... Might as well kept the name for it in Black Ops...

That's not what I was meaning...

BF single player is, new MoH was, rainbow six games are pretty much CoD clones now, ... over the top scripted action in a FPS is a CoD thing. started with CoD 1.

[rajputwarrior]

Sure sounds like it.

They don't need to innovate because who needs innovation when the motto "Don't fix what ain't broken", is what Activision goes for EVERY god damn year.

Seriously... I can't even take you seriously any more.... your blind lies, and fanboyism is pretty far reaching....

Call of Duty - Release date - 2003

Medal of Honor - Release Date - 2001

fine my bad, but still the EXACT SAME IW guys who created both games originally ;)

[King Hippo]

Do I have to have Steam running in order to play Single Player mode? Or do you mean about BF3?

I am referring to the Bf3.

I knew i wasn't crazy when i ran through the building and was like I've been here before. Kotaku Ah I remember fond days of sniping on that map.

Broke down and rented the game from Redbox, Ill admit so far the campaign is not half bad and I am a few missions in. It definitely feels like a Call of Duty game, looks like one too. But there are also "woah" moments I didnt expect to have. Hoping to beat it in one night as I actually have alone time. Maybe even trynsome MP after the campaign.

[downhillrider]

SO after a couple of hours playing it (on xbox) I came to the conclusion that while fun, its a expansion pack to MW2 at best. at least 1 - 2 recycled maps from COD 4. It should have been a $29.99 DLC or something. If I payed for MW3 I'd be ****ed right now. COD Elite will fail completely and its still alot more fun that BF3.

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

These are my own videos that I've uploaded for you guys to view, hopefully this gives you a little more insight on the maps and how I feel about the game in general. Please take the time to watch the videos as they are full length matches. It should give you a view on how the games actually play out, what to expect, and what gun I might have fallen in love with. It is in 720p, so be sure to swap it to that option.

I got COD4, WaW, MW2 as gifts and my brother bought black ops so paying for MW3 didn't feel bad even though I felt the same way,

[Vykranth]

I am going to concur on the MW 2.5 side of things. It is quite true: same old engine (that is now really showing its age), same old MP modes, similar campaigns but it is still a very good fun game.

I did the first four missions and there are some Wow moments in the campaign. Then the friends came up and we played Domination. I got all my reflexes back in 10 minutes and we had a blast for two hours.

There are some balances changes in MP, some good: no more Lightweight/arathon/Commando Model 1887 (yay!), some bad: can I have the Tar-21 back, please?

I do not know if I am going to play as much as MW3 as I did with MW2 but I am not disappointed.

Man, the developers are getting lazier and lazier. This is what you get when MW3 crashes:

And this is funny, too:

Seriously? Wow, I've not read much about MW3 despite my original intentions of buying it, but the more I seem to read the more disappointed I think I'm going to be with it. They just don't seem to have made the effort this time.

[mikebiacsi]

Played a few hours MP and a couple of hours of the campaign last night, I love it! I'm only in Hamburg at the moment but so far very impressed with the story.

Exact same thoughts here

[neoadorable]

have to disagree with my friend Vyk and others on the engine, it looks at least as good as Black Ops, better than MW2 for sure. of course not as good as it could look, but i wouldn't call it ugly on the 360 compared to BF3. that one only has a slightly higher res and better lighting. this is COD, it's like complaining about a long running TV show, of course it's more of the same, why do you even watch it if you don't want more of the same? the MP is just as fun as ever.
