Modern Warfare 3 to Feature Bigger Story

While still unannounced, sources who have seen the game in action tell Kotaku that the next Call of Duty will be a Modern Warfare 3 that pushes the bar on what people have come to expect from the series. And it hits this fall.

rabidpancakeburglar4726d ago

I don't see it being that much bigger

Dart894726d ago

I wonder if by longer they mean 30 more seconds added to the story.

rabidpancakeburglar4726d ago

No way, it will almost certainly be at least 2 minutes

awiseman4726d ago

That would mean bring the total single player length to...31 seconds in all.. NICE!

AllroundGamer4726d ago

30 seconds more aiming your gun or knife in slow motion at the final bad guy :D

limewax4726d ago (Edited 4726d ago )

Way I see it, all these articles on next CoD being bigger is just an attempt to grab attention from BF3. It wont be any longer of course, they lied through and through about Black Ops why would they stop now?

ilikestuff4726d ago

i plan on buying it used from gamestop to beat the "bigger" storymode within a week (smart money says i can beat it in one sitting) and then returning it within the week for all my money back. boom! free rental! see? gamestop isnt all that bad

vickers5004725d ago

Ugh, just do away with the story all together. Nobody plays Call of Duty games for the story. I'd rather have an extra 20+ maps (in addition to the 15-20 it will probably include even if it did have a campaign) making it like 40+ maps (well, maybe not that much now that I think about it) and an extra 20 weapons or so.

And have them spend the time on multiplayer to make sure it's balanced, functional (glitch/bug/connection issue free) and to make sure the maps don't suck.

That's what I think they should do with what they have, since they have no freaking plans to change their engine or do any major upgrades, so they should at least jam that sh** full of content and make it work properly.

Greywulf4725d ago

Ok,

I know I'm not alone here...

Black Ops story was amazingly stupid/rambling/all over the place.. just kept setting up scenarios to blow things up. The guys interrogating you yet he knows everything..

Its long, but the bad type of long. MW when you jumped on the boat, now that was a good/action movie/story.

And its so hard to watch the game pan out due to the engine being so terrible. The lip sync is bad, the visuals are lacking, the animation is mediocre...

Am I alone?

the last decent cod single player was WAW. it was challenging on veteran. it was fairly long in gameplay. and the story was pretty good.

id say call of duty 2 (not MW2) on veteran was the most difficult and gripping single player. my fave 1.
although cod4's was a master piece it was too easy on vet.

El-Fenemeno12134726d ago

So much hype around this game. I will not fall into it XO. Don't need to be disappointed again.

Fishy Fingers4726d ago

Great, I actually enjoy the COD (specifically MW) campaigns so the bigger the better for me.

Blacktric4726d ago

Agreed. I wish they weren't too short though.

Fishy Fingers4726d ago

Me too, but it does allow for a constant spectical, rather than just sticking in a load of 'filler'.

Kingdom Come4726d ago (Edited 4726d ago )

The Modern Warfare Storylines are quite good, Infinity Ward were brilliant designers of characters and were capable of creating engaging plotlines and characteristics, however, Black Ops' story was just recycled elements of films...

gamingdroid4726d ago

I enjoyed CoD MW series as well. The campaings were fantastic and looking very much forward to spec ops!

Shackdaddy8364726d ago

I liked MW1's story but I have to disagree on Blops and MW2. If you look carefully, you will see a massive amount of holes in each story.

"Modern Warfare 3 to Feature Bigger Story"

In other words, they'll copy off MORE Films!

Fishy Fingers4726d ago

Or that could be seen as paying homage as the subject matter is similar and the movie is incredibly well known and respected.

rookeagle4726d ago

I have no problem playing movies :D fun <3

chazjamie4726d ago

I do, because they only 2 hours like most of the campaigns

Destructible Environment means, it has to have Dedicated servers.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac7d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-235d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher21d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris21d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera21d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii21d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts20d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX20d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos21d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast21d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
