Modern Warfare 3: 7 Facts That Everyone Should Know

GB - "Ever since the release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare back in 2007, the Call of Duty series can seemingly do no wrong. Ever since then it has seen blockbuster after blockbuster, and has become one of the most lucrative media franchises ever."

*Expect multiplayer to blow you away.*

Yea we know it will blow you away with glitches and unbalanced perks.

[MatthewMk2]

With Raven Software working on multiplayer there is still hope. While their games may not be the most unique in the world they are deffinatly some of the most polished. Singularity, their last game is amazing, multiplayer is loads of fun and incredibly well balances and glitch free.

"Modern Warfare 3: 7 BS That Everyone Should NOT Know"

here
fixed

this is nothing but you average hype article
like look at his
"Expect Something Unique This Time Around"

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooool
NO

@above
"With Raven Software working on multiplayer there is still hope"

who is Raven Software ??
i never heard about them except recently when it was stated that they'll work on the next cod

just googled them
all their games are ... well nothing THAT good
i mean look http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

[Dannehkins]

I can't speak for the rest of those games, but the multiplayer for SW:JKA was very unique and very addictive.

It is in fact the game that got me into PC gaming, purely because it was so addictive.

I still think there are people playing it now.

It wasn't a personal comment, but it was just the one game from Raven that I think was amazing.

[AtomicGerbil]

It may be different devs working on MW3, but as I've said before it's still the same puppet master.

Activision will not change anything substantial as they will consider it risky.

I would expect the same lag and glitches that have been common since MW1, let's face it, they've had 3 titles since then to put things right.

[bodybombs]

i personally have liked a handful of ravensofts games.
-hexen 1,2,3
-heretic
-the new wolfenstein
were all personal favorites of mine

[LightofDarkness]

Raven were a big deal back in the day. I used to love Hexen1/2, Heretic 1/2, Soldier of Fortune, Jedi Outcast/Academy, even Elite Force was pretty damn good for a Star Trek game. X-Men Legends 2 was pretty good as well.

Quake 4 was when things started to turn sour, I think. It was an OK game, and not up to scratch with their best. Everything after that was pretty downhill, IMO.

[DtotheRoc]

captain-obvious IDK what you say bro. raven is out of madison fuckin wisconsin the best city in the midwest.

[blumatt]

I so WISH they'd go back to the old style of perks in CoD4. Aslo, there were just three killstreaks. It was simple. 3 Kills: UAV ; 5 Kills: Airstrike ; 7 Kills: Helicopter.

That game had the best multiplayer of all the current gen CoD games.

[Kee]

Yes. That was the way I liked it. I could still go back to CoD4 and play it for hours and hours because of how much fairer it is.

[dawgsfan117]

Exactly. The three kill streak system should be brought back. It rewarded players without being cheap. COD4 is still my favorite online shooter. Sadly not enough people playing anymore.

[midgard227]

blow us away with How much of a copy paste the game is.

honestly every new COD is just a big map pack mixed with a short lame SP

[awiseman]

The single player component in MW1 and 2 were some of the most exciting campaigns Ive ever played.

[AyeGee]

@awiseman

You must not play many games.

[hoof123]

@ awiseman

MW1 campaign was fantastic, good if predictable, memorable missions and set pieces, excellent pacing.

MW2 campaign was just crap. Pacing was all over the place and the story was inconsistent and convoluted. It just tried to hard to be awesome all the time and fell flat on its face.

[hassi94]

Stupid article.

How is "Expect Something Unique This Time Around" a fact - it isn't even a statement!?

Typical hype article based on nothing but hopes. Yeah the lighting effects are good but that part of CoD graphics has never been picked on, the lighting has always been good. The textures are where it lets down the most.

[antz1104]

Larger maps aren't really a great thing. Spending half the time running to a point and the other half trying to find enemies isn't that fun. Give me Nuke Town any day.

Twenty maps would be pretty nice though.

[DtotheRoc]

nuketown is garbage for anything objective though. it's a killstreak spam fest do to tubes and spaz12ers

[antz1104]

Thats a matter of opinion, but if you like TDM (like the majority of people playing online) Nuketown is a great way to gain xp. Sure everyone rains grenades at the beginning of the match, but the action is tight and easy to find.

[ZippyZapper]

I have always wondered why only Sony fanboys hate CoD. Must hate being in the back seat.

[Gawdl3y]

Only Sony fanboys? You're kidding, right?
I game mostly on the PC, but some on the 360 and PS3 as well.

Call of Duty continues to under-perform with every game.

[BeastlyRig]

"We’ve already caught wind of the twenty maps that will supposedly comprise the game’s competitive multiplayer. Infinity Ward have said that they are also taking inspiration from the Battlefield franchise in terms of larger scale battles. Expect epic sixteen aside fights across larger maps. An increased level of diversity will help the multiplayer stay even more relevant in today’s exceptionally competitive market. "

[FlintGREY]

*sigh* When will people see the light...?

[iGaMei]

Does anybody remember the perk were you can listen to the other team on cod4 ?

What are the chances we see some kind of difference since the game is being worked on by 3 companies.

[e-p-ayeaH]

lol the most useless perk ever

[MARKUS_MAX1MUS]

Cant say listening to 12 year olds screaming about how I killed them gave me any kind of tactical advantage.

[evilbart]

Get ready for a shit load of comments from COD haters saying how crap the game will be and that they will definetely not be buying it but yet feel obliged to comment on every COD article and tell us about it.SEE YOU ALL ONLINE DAY ONE

[Jumper09]

the game is trash

[shoddy]

sound like million that bought the game disagree.
it worth your money since you'll be playing it for like at least 6 months.

cod hater tell me what change will make you like the game.

graphic?: for 5 years what else you expect from mutiplat games(I thought crysis2 would raise the bar). don't expect U2 level of visual.

gameplay?: it propably the reason COD is so popular.

Story?: like %50 don't even finish story mode.

[Kee]

@Jumper09
So.... you're here to tell us all that... why? Or is there no reason and you just had nothing better to do?

If it's trash, you shouldn't care about it therefore you wouldn't be giving the article hits yet you come on here and tell us it's trash? We don't want to hear your hate-mongering.

Kindly go away and watch some Battlefield 3 gameplay or something and comment on that. You're wasting your time here, troll.

[retrofly]

Aye, along with the other few million gamers. Going to be awesome as ever.

F**k you haters, I've had enough of you talking bullshit. If you don't like the game don't read the articles!

[DeadIIIRed]

I have been playing this franchise for years and hate the direction its been nose diving into. Sales mean little in terms of quality. The now infamous E.T. game sold over a million copies and I think we all know the end to that story.

[AtomicGerbil]

So it's not permitted to dislike CoD huh?

There have been 4 CoDs in 4 years, each one has had very similar issues that have never been fully addressed. Considering the amount of money that the CoD franchise has accumulated, we should not be seeing these kind of problems again & again.

There are many other reasons why myself and others dislike CoD and it's now getting tiresome that whenever we comment on a CoD article (which is well within our rights)we getted dubbed "haters" in a way that suggests we are doing it for the sake of it. No,some of us comment because we have an opinion that is just as valid as yours.

[DtotheRoc]

cod4 had and still has no issues ON PC of course cuz consoles are trash when it comes to shooters anyway

[Otheros00]

Cod is TRASH.

"SEE YOU ALL ONLINE DAY ONE" Don't bet on it.
I'm glad to say I've never bought that trash in my entire life.
If it's really new and different why does it have the EXACT SAME BUGS AND GLITCHES AS COD4?

[L6RD7BLU3]

Her's all 7 it will be the same as all the other Call of Duty's

[Pandamobile]

"Graphics Will Be Highly Polished"
*screenshots that looks worse than COD4*

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Yangus]

FIRST!!gameplay trailer tomorrow.

You see one beta screenshots,not final-build!

And once again,CoD/MW haters-FIRST!!gameplay trailer tomorrow!

JUDGE AFTER THAT!

[captain-obvious]

lol why you call everyone cod hater ??
its called criticism

and we've heard this with all the cods dude
its nothing but the same over and over :\

i even bet most of the perks are going to be the same
like slight hand etc

[Pandamobile]

"JUDGE AFTER THAT!"

Why? We already know that it'll just be the same engine with a few extras. That's how it's been since 2007.

The most significant change in the last 4 years has been the introduction of texture streaming.

[Dart89]

Lol anyone can throw a trailer together to make they're game look good so in reference a trailer is just to advertise their game it could be the best trailer you have ever seen but when the game releases it could be utter shizznit.

[gemc666]

oh, hi, the first gameplay trailer of BF 3 for example blow us away and is ALPHA build, i bet we are going to see the gameplay trailer for COD and it will be the same sh*t

[L6RD7BLU3]

EPIC LAUGH!

[blink3020]

I've already pre-ordered it

[GoldPS3]

The 1 fact we do know about MW3 is that it will be the same crap like the others and ever year it's always the same people who hope the next COD be better than the last but they get disappointed when it's not. Then once again they complain and blame Activision. Next time keep your money in your pockets so you won't have to complain.

[fei-hung]

dont matter who makes it, it all depends on how much time they have been given to develop the game and how big a team they have working on it.

Black Ops was a copy n paste job and although it may have been the fasting selling game, it probably was the quickest game to be traded in to as every Cod fiend on my ps friend list went back to MW2.

It's hard to say if the new mw3 will be any good. its been a longtime since activision has made a game worth purchasing for a hardcore gamer and no, people who just buy COD are not hardcore gamers.

[Zontar]

Here are 7 more things people should know about MW3

1.Its going to be the same thing as MW2
2.Its going to be the same thing as MW2
3.Its going to be the same thing as MW2
4.Its going to be the same thing as MW2
5.Its going to be the same thing as MW2
6.Its going to be the same thing as MW2
7.Its going to be the same thing as MW2
and just like the call of duty franchise I copied and pasted.

7 Facts That Everyone Should Know
1 BF3 will be hands down better
2 BF3 will be hands down better
3 BF3 will be hands down better
4 BF3 will be hands down better
5 BF3 will be hands down better
6 BF3 will be a HELL of a lot better
and last but not least
7 that it will be the same as all the previous cod's with no changes at all

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Why does everyone shit on the COD series and think BF3 is going to be some bastion of hope? Lets look at the track records of these series/devs/publishers recently? COD even though Activision has pumped one out every year they are using two seperate teams to deliver the games, each game gets a full 2yr dev cycle. EA will have pumped out BFBC, BF1943 and BFBC2, Medal of Honor and BF3 all within 3 yrs. (BFBC came out in 2008) COD games have all been packed from the get go with game modes, variety of maps and co-op modes day 1. BF games have all shipped so far with fewer maps and game modes. In fact they sold their "co-op" mode as an add-on .... why did we have to pay for a game mode again? COD has given us numerous map packs after launch for EACH game they have put out. EA/Dice's support for map packs has been all but non-existent on the BF side (no I dont count that VIP bullshit of adding a game mode or changing the map from night to day or vice versa as real support). We have had ONE true Map pack from EA / Dice on the BF series that that was Vietnam which while great felt clunky and out of place to the rest of the game and the variety of weapons and vehicles was skimpy to say the least. Medal of Honor again gave us a game mode and a couple of maps for $10 and haven't done anything since. The more I look at what truly these two devs/publishers have delivered to us the more I realize how much I appreciate the COD game series on a whole and look forward to hearing more on MW3.

[totallysane]

i didn't read all of it, mainly because it looked like you took a bucket full of words and dumped them on paper. activision charges rediculous amouts of money for map packs that should be half the price not to mention that the same cod comes out every year.

I don't see how someone can look forward to a game that copies and pastes everything from the previous game, repackages it and calls it a new game. not to mention that my room is bigger than most the cod maps. at least battlefields maps are huge and people that hide in a corner are usually worthless people that don't know how to play. so i wouldn't put cod on this pedestal cause its the all mighty. yes it brings in alot of money, but thats just because to many people don't like change. change scares people, hard modes, and games with even a little bit of difficulty put people off.

[fullmetal297]

Except to pay 25 bucks for 5 maps.

[clrlite]

#8 I'm not interested. If I buy any military FPS in the next year it will be Battlefield. Their marketing is exceptional though and some people will be tricked into thinking it's the hottest thing again and "OMFG everyone else has it or at least that's what I've been convinced. I better go buy it asap".

[SpinalRemains138]

Big Red One is still the best multiplayer game. Best maps and no stupid noob perks.

What ever happened to a game where everyone has the same chance of winning based on skill alone and not which perks they have enabled. I know it's fashionable to suck IW's cock, but I'm not buying it. IW ruined the franchise. Unless you're 13 years old with ADD, their games blow.

3. Bugs galore

5. More 8-year olds on multiplayer
6. Another 60 dollar PC game
7. This game will be so jaw-dropping /s

[JMyers]

Dude... well said. Summed it up nicely.

[likedamaster]

COD1, COD2, COD4, MW2 were the only CODs I purchased and enjoyed, and each of these were released within a sizable window... but this is where it ends.

MW3? Once again, no thank you.

[BXbomber]

Everyone saying they not buyin I bet my soul ya be the first ones in line at the midnight launch lol

[Cirran]

what's with people getting angry about this game? I enjoy the more team/objective based gameplay of bad company 2 so I wont be touching this (deathmatch bores me). That doesn't mean i am going to rage and moan at people for liking a game i dislike. Each to their own.
What I cant seem to comprehend is the people that constantly rage and moan and cry and scream and cry again about a game like MW, yet still buy it and play it? Ya'll crazy people.

[fr00ty-wizenhymer]

what a joke

[JMyers]

7 Facts about COD:MW3...

1) Glitches, bugs and patches galore
2) No Innovation

7) Consumer milking at its best.

Enjoy... from Activision.

[Rybakov]

[Jdub895O]

We buy it because everyone else is going to buy it.I just hate when my co-workers say "you cant beat me in cod"....umm yeah i can lol.The only reason to buy it.
