Why Modern Warfare 3 Can't Do Weapon DLC Like Battlefield 3
MP1st - A couple of weeks ago, Infinity Ward took to Facebook asking for feedback on whether a double weapon XP event would interest Modern Warfare 3 players. Shortly after, the first double weapon XP event was announced.
(Battlefield 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
Apparently and lol they pretty much JUST said they didn't make the game properly in regards to RAM for te consoles. If they can't find a way to add new things into the game they've failed hard a developers. And the RAM is a poor excuse when bf3 (with superioir textures and models) is doing and will continue doing it. He's full of crap I say!
And for every map pack that Battlefield comes out with, gamers have to download over 1 gigabyte of content.
I have no interest of buying the Close Quarters Expansion in BF3, but because of new weapons/etc that I cannot unlock, EA and Dice make me download it.
The reason why you have to download the DLC files is because even though you haven't bought the DLC and can't unlock the guns, your system still needs to load the files for the new weapons. Even if you can't spawn with them, you can still pick them up from anyone who drops them when killed.
@shadow_dr2 I know WHY we have to do it, but it's unfair to gamers who do not which to download this extra content. I have enough hard drive space, but what about those with smaller hard-drives? It's unfair for them.
That is true. One alternative is that you should be allowed to only download the patch and gun files without the map files. It would save a bit of hard drive space which BF3 can eat alot if you have the disc installed plus the patches and HD Textures if your on Xbox.
I would literally laugh my ass off if they show an apparent "next gen" COD and it still look's like current gen COD. Now that would prove that they are lazy and don't care about innovation when their are developers who don't milk a series and when they do(Assassins creed series) they actually make a quality game so it actually has effort put into it. Treyarch hopefully can do a better job then IW cause MW3 was just so sad.
Yeah, I like how he's saying they can't do it, basically, because there is too much stuff going on in MW3. Really? They are using an engine from 2007 with some minor adjustments. I think that's their problem.
Any chance too bash on cod I guess... Just sad, why are kids up so late? Just ignore it if you don't like, silly comments aren't going to sway anyone. I thought 360 was the lead platform for cod not pc... Patience dudes/gals oneday people are going to realise these problems but untill then they just don't care what you think.
Well, considering COD's success has inspired numberous of FPS to follow their development-platform, I think EVERY FPS-fan as a duty to hate on COD.
Look at Far Cry 3, they *trying* to emulate COD's MP. We, FPS-fans, don't want anything to be more like COD, even COD.
I don't blindly hate COD, cause I used to be a huge fan of the series, up until COD:5 I loved the games. Since then the franchise has avoided change like it's the plague. (remember how COD:5 had VEHICLES! Yeah, that's right - COD had vehicles at one time - then they went back on their innovation and stuck to being corridor-shooter)
We bash COD because we ought to. We want to stop it's contamination of our favorite genre.
Totally agree. The problem with shooter franchises these days is that they try to copy CoD. Luckily there are rare examples where you don't see CoD elements: franchises like Battlefield, Bioshock, Deus Ex, etc.
But these are rare. I wish developers started copying elements from Battlefield, if they really want to copy!
Things like a class based shooter you only see in Battlefield. More devs should take note.
I know, I know and I feel your pain/hatred, soon cod will be old news as it is killing itself... Its just a shame it has to take quite a few other games with it...

You can check BF3's stats at bf3stats.com at the left. It's a real time tracker.
