Modern Warfare 3

As a gamer- and I know we have a lot on here- I always look forward to the bi-yearly updates to the Call of Duty series (I don't count the utter shite put out by Treyarch in the years between) and since the first Modern Warfare came out I've been in love. Now with this years newest addition to the series it looks to be one big scope single player, although rumors abound that multiplayer won't be much different from #2... so, released yesterday- here is the new trailer for Modern Warfare 3!

Out 11-8-11

it looks awesome!!!!! just bummed they wont allow gun customizing like black ops :(

I just posted that one on facebook too, heh

Impressive, but I've got better 3s to play...

Yeah, I'm stoked about BF3.... Is MW3 for console only?

X360, Ps3, Pc

I am definiely going to try to pre order mine. I thought that game was going to cause a divorce when I first started playing it, now I quit and my wife plays it more than I do.

Im pretty stoked. I like Black Ops, but the multiplayer is hacked pretty bad now so I hope this lives up to the hype.

I've been playing the BF3 multi-player beta since it came out last week. It's pretty fun. It should be running until Tuesday and is out on all platforms.

The beta has.......issues.

I have both MW2 and BF 3 on order. Can't play black ops any more with all the hacking. Never understood the point of the hacking in these games.

lol that's pretty funny. It was awful the first few days. It has improved a ton though. Still far from perfect but it is free.

I'm looking forward to both Battlefield and MW3. I'm on PS3 if anyone wants to play send me a PM.

i'm in college so of course i have both BF3 and MWF3 pre-ordered!

i too have been playing the BF3 beta when i can get in a game! server been pretty shitty and yes it has a lot of bugs! but its free!!!

if any of you are on and want to play on xbox 360 gamer tag is coopoloop68

P.S if you pre-ordered it with game stop they are having a ton of give away's in a sweepstakes online called pick your perks! cash, tricked out jeep, vortex bino's i looked them up worth around $500 bucks and radios and various things you can pick to try and win every week!

As long as MW3 has the same smooth fast multiplayer play as MW2, I'll be happy. BlavkOps was a hyge disapointment to me. I still play MW2, but the amount of hackers is starting to really piss me off.

I'm looking forward to it. I also saw they started making Ace Combat for PS3, instead of just for X Box. Should be a good one as well.

I'm definitely in on PS3. Definitely.

I'll be playing the shit out of MW3 on 360. My screen name is the same as here...

I don't know how you still play that game. I was the most anti-Treyarch person before Black Ops. Hell, I didn't even buy it until a month after it came out due to frustration on MW2. I hated to admit it but BO is MUCH better than MW2 and they fixed a LOT of the problems that MW2 had and still has. A few months after BO came out the servers went down one night for about an hour and I had a buddy over who I was trying to show my theater setup to. I took out BO and put MW2 in and I couldn't believe how ****ty that game was once I got use to BO. My very first game in I got a nuke and it reminded me how kill-streak dependent that game was. it was boring actually. Endless air support and with kill-streaks earning kill-streaks it really doesn't take much skill. The next game got hacked and I couldn't get a legit game after that and gave up. I did note how blurry the graphics looked and how muffled the audio was in comparison to BO as well. In all I'm glad I bit the bullet and made the jump to BO a year ago and have got plenty of miles out of my money. My only regret is not selling MW2 the day I bought BO.

I should note that all of the above is multi-player. I actually preferred the campaign on MW2 a little more than BO but I feel as though BO had a better storyline. I only go through the campaign once on Veteran on each game before I switch completely to MP.

I bought BO the day it came out, I tried to play that game over and over and never could do it. I did like the fact that it took away the ability to use certain perks to make yourself seemingly invincible. From what I hear, MW3 is going to be MW2 style game play with BO type perks and what not. Also looks like killstreaks are either gone or greatly reduced. From the multiplayer preview, it looks like you get one secondary backup measure and that is it. In all honesty the only reason I still own BO is for zombies.

I didn't notice MW2 being grainy at all. It looks amazing on the 50" HD tv. BO looks too cartoony for me. Which is kind of how I see the game play, cartoony. I hate to say it but i liked homefront more than BO.

Kill streaks are still there and from what I've seen/heard some kill-streaks can earn kill-streaks once again which I'm not to excited about. Looks like some can reset w/o dying too should you cycle through them. I had hoped to play zombies more but have only played it a few times since all my friends just want to play MP.

I play on a 110" screen with a HD projector and there's a noticeable difference between MW2 and BO when it comes to graphics. Maybe on smaller displays it isn't as noticeable but for my it was immediately apparent. I was invited to Alpha test Homefront and that game was just awful. It was a blatant ripoff of the CoD franchise but with worse graphics and gameplay. I didn't bother with the final version.

Hated BO, hated how they tried to make the purchase system- great idea, just falls short...
MW3 will have different class based killstreaks, like assault and support and one other yet to be announced... should be pretty cool- assault has the predator strike, and AC130 type killstreak rewards whereas support will have UAV and Care packages.

I don't mind killstreaks. It's fun to get momentum and keep it rolling like a snowball.

But here's an honest question for you military types or those that appreciate added realism in a game.

Aren't killstreaks a bit backwards? By that I mean shouldn't things like mortar team support and AC130 gunships be given to a guy that's getting his ass kicked? Not someone who's not dying and doing just fine killing peeps with his M4?

I'm mean realistically, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I would think that on a real battlefield if your infantry is doing just fine on the ground with their small arms, would they call in close air support? Or do they call in support when they are pinned down and losing the fight?

I know, I know, games aren't real and in games they "reward" you for things like not dying. And why give people that suck and die a lot an advantage. But that would really even things out if you got an AC130 for a 10 death streak or something. I mean it sucks when I have 25 or 30 kills with 10 deaths but still lose because some guy on my team went 5 and 25.

If you got it, call it in. No sense in shooting somebody with an M4 if you can pound him with mortars or air support.

Yep... when in doubt call in CAS!

I agree that they should give some aids to those who are playing like crap, but nothing as extreme as an AC130, or even a Harrier Strike... give them something small, like UAV or juggernaut- oh wait, they do give juggernaut after 4 consecutive deaths.

Fair enough. I guess make them regret ever fighting the US of A by pounding them with the best we have to offer as frequently as possible. Sounds good to me.

Same here- hence why I DVR stuff and never watch it live... I have better things to do with my time than sit through commercials... like cleaning my guns, playing MW2, and uh playing with my balls.

Like I said, the BO graphics aren't grainy, just don't seem realistic to me at all. The plasma mat not be huge, but it has the best display I have ever seen, and i worked in the electronics industry for a long damn time.

I just will never like BO. And I can't wait for MW3. Already have my copy paid for.

Something we can agree on.

Excited

Xbox Eyeonthapye MW3 [M2]

Anyone here still play MW2? We should get a little party together sometime soon while we wait for 3 to come out.... I put my gamertag in my sig just for FYI. I'll be on tonight after work.

All you console gamers don't know what you're missing in PC gaming. Aiming with a thumbstick is a joke.

As a test, Microsoft put professional console players up against mediocre PC players... the console players on consoles, the PC gamers on PC's, in the same game.

The console gamers got absolutely smoked. It was from that play testing that came their decision to never allow console and PC gamers into the same servers for first person shooters. It's the difference between being able to about face and get a shot gun blast off before dying when someone is at your six.

Not to mention the consoles are six years old now... and Graphics Processors have been beating Moore's law all six of those years.

I couldn't get into Black Ops at all. The entire thing seemed off after playing so much MW2. I'm really looking forward to MW3.

I know what I'm missing and I really don't care. It's a level playing field and all gamers play on the same platform. This is why cross-platform will never happen and if it did I wouldn't even attempt to compete. I agree there's a big difference but that doesn't mean it's better for everyone. Different people have different needs/wants & likes/dislikes. For me, consoles are for gaming and PCs are for work so it's easier to draw that distinction from years past of making my money on PCs on my time. Had I not made that decision to separate the two I would probably be homeless today.

I'm looking forward to this one for sure. I only like the story modes though, and really can't stand multiplayer.

Black ops was for sure a bit weird in story mode, but it was kinda fun fighting somewhere different than most of those other games.
