Modern Warfare 3

[CMP_5.56]

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.

and a little of this too -->
