MW3 Callsigns Display Prestige Ranks from Prior CoD Titles

MP1st - "The 'callsign' became a very popular idea when it was introduced into the Call of Duty series with Modern Warfare 2."

Criminal4553d ago

I hope it's not console specific 'cause I played WaW and CoD 4 mainly on the PS3 and the others on the 360.

Mister_V4553d ago

Good question, but I'm not sure if it's the case. EA does the whole Origin Account thing and saves all info from all platforms there but I'm not sure if Activision has the same type of thing.

fluffydelusions4553d ago (Edited 4553d ago )

I played MW2 and Blops on both systems. Think I prestiged once on both PS3/360 for both games. After buying Blops on PS3 day 1 I think I'm going to get MW3 for 360 this time around though. PS3 version was a disaster to say the least. Frame drops everywhere not to mention the constant disconnects. Played the 360 version at a friends and it was night and day. 360 version was smooth all around + the early DLC which depending on whether or not I like the game I may buy is a bonus.

Jac5al4553d ago

MW3 will be fine on the PS3. Just like cod4 & mw2. Bops is the only cod game that doesn't run as stellar on the PS3 as it does on the 360. Constant disconnects? Happens with every cod game on both platforms.

fluffydelusions4553d ago

@above yeah but even MW2 looked/ran a bit better on 360.

Lavitz20124553d ago

I just seen a video on youtube about this seems ok but not enough to warrant a purchase.

Criminal4553d ago

I see where you're coming from. I feel they are rehashing a lot of assets from MW2.

fluffydelusions4553d ago (Edited 4553d ago )

I think they said MW3 ships with 16 MP maps though. This was in the 1hr gamespot playthrough they said this in.

NarooN4553d ago

16 maps or not, I can't find any good reasons to buy this. I'm not just bashing CoD though, the only games I'm getting this year are SR3, MGS Peace Walker HD, and Tekken Hybrid. Sick of these modern-day military shooters to be honest.

farhad2k84553d ago

Get some friends, have a blast with CoD. Have no friends? Cod will be frustrating for you.
Simple as.

The only reason I love CoD, is because most of my friends who are CASUAL gamers, buy this game EVERY year. And thank god they do, because we have such a blast together!
Those Saturday nights where you come back home at 2AM and just stick in CoD, priceless.

NewVegasTroop4553d ago

can not wait to play spec ops, that was the funnest part of mw2, me and my bro are going to have a great time, i had black ops but i traded it for a blue ps3 controller just for co op.

Grimhammer004553d ago

If your sick of military fps. Nothing is going to change that in that genre. Right!

But if you play a mix of genres, at least for me....I can easily get back into it.

For me it's mw3, unch3 & either a racer or fighter. I just finished a 95hr dark souls and I'm not touching a rpg for a while. That games gameplay is so good, I'm seriously afraid skyrim will be too simple for me.
I'm talking about gameplay not exploration or atmosphere.

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

melons12d ago

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.

Gridknac12d 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-2310d 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

Christopher26d 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_vulgaris26d 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”.

OtterX26d ago (Edited 26d 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.

Palitera26d ago

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

fsfsxii25d ago

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

crazyCoconuts25d 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

OtterX25d 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

Knightofelemia26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos26d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast26d 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.
