FourZeroTwo Addresses Concerns About Modern Warfare 3 PC Version

dedicated servers - good

mod support after launch - good

in depth graphic options - good

sounds like they may actually be trying to get back in good graces with the pc crowd, what with dice trying to steal all their fans away

I'm getting MW3 and BF3, hope MW3 lives up!

RankFTW4563d ago

Seems good, roll on November the something.

Crazyglues4563d ago

people may not notice this, but it is all the pressure from DICE that is forcing their hand..

That's why they are doing all of this, competition is a good thing because it makes you step your game up..

and the consumer is the real winner -will indeed be checking out both games..

Apocwhen4563d ago

I think the way they addressed the mod support question is basically a nice way of saying no.

It said it won't be available at launch and they'd evaluate it after launch but usually that means no.

GraveLord4563d ago

Weren't they already in good graces with PC gamers? I mean Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops are the most played FPS on Steam.(They're both in the top 10)

Doesn't sound like the PC crowd had any problems with the games....

Pre-ordered on Steam after reading this.

RankFTW4563d ago (Edited 4563d ago )

Did that a while ago when they were giving away CoD4 with every pre-order. Done alot of 5v5 on CoD4 since then and I'm sick of it now heh.

JonahNL4563d ago

The dedicated servers are UNRANKED!

"Does Modern Warfare 3 on PC support an in-game Server Browser? Can you also use matchmaking?

Yes! In addition to the public matchmaking system for finding Ranked public games, you can use the in-game server browser to find and favorite unranked Dedicated Servers to join, which can be filtered by a number of options mentioned above."

IW, blow me.

Pjuice4563d ago (Edited 4563d ago )

as soon as any fps games says no lean its obviously a port from console, when your not pubbing your need lean but controllers can't implement that feature well. This is going to be mw3 on console with better graphics for pc but we will still get the consoles watered down gameplay built for pubz with respawning to keep ppl playing so the masses are happy and pc gamers will get bored of it very fast.

now they have dogs with c4 attached to them, there adding b.s to keep you blind to the fact its same damn game or even worse every time.

@ tachyon some of these ppl obviously think it lol saying there giving it more pc features so there buying it, there crazy

Tachyon_Nova4563d ago

So wait, your telling me that each platform version of Mw3 will be the same game! Who'da thunk it...

GraveLord4563d ago

http://store.steampowered.c...

Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops STILL in the top 10 most played games on steam. Call me crazy but I don't think people will "get bored of it fast"

Pjuice4562d ago (Edited 4562d ago )

first off football manager 12 is beating it out a ten year counter strike game css and tf2 lol, and the core call of duty fans will still get this because how else are they going to play against the other ppl that bought mw3, back in the day all you would see is shooters for top games played, football manager wouldn't be in there pc gamers hardly have any good shooters to play online anymore that aren't 5 years old so they cling to cod every year and i personally know im sick of it and i think allot of others are

p.s i want to see release day multiplayer numbers then 6 months down the road numbers for these games i think mw2 and blackops were over 100,000 and now there 18,000 and 30,000 seems like ppl are getting pretty bored to me. heres the list freaking dungeon defenders is beating out blackops.

56,137 59,058 Team Fortress 2
49,839 60,927 Counter-Strike
46,075 53,224 Counter-Strike: Source
42,749 44,052 Football Manager 2012
24,639 30,221 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Multiplayer
18,445 18,603 Sid Meier's Civilization V
18,222 18,222 Dungeon Defenders
16,610 18,914 Call of Duty Black Ops - Multiplayer
10,356 14,812 Football Manager 2011
10,149 10,450 Left 4 Dead 2

Pjuice4562d ago (Edited 4562d ago )

LightofDarkness4563d ago

Haha, nice how he sort of hid that vital piece of information in there.

Pity, otherwise this ticked all the boxes for PC gamers. It even has things that BF3 lacks, like in-game server browsing. Competition from BF3 was enough to get them to pay a little more attention to the PC audience, but apparently they're still being d**ks about P2P serving and ranked matches.

StealthyRay4563d ago

Yep, I was looking for anything specific about Dedi's being Ranked, but IW is still evasive about it even in this latest effort to answer "All" FAQs.

Just get CS:GO. Made by devs who actually care

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

melons7d 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.

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.

crazyCoconuts21d 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.
