Modern Warfare 3's Multiplayer Focusing on Balance

Velocity Gamer: The graphics and everything else may have not changed much, but I think you can expect a much more balanced multiplayer experience in Modern Warfare 3 than you've experienced before from the franchise. Of course you'll have complainers and haters, but followers of the series should come away a bit happier this time.

Good, that's been the biggest problem in the series imo. I'm not gnna jump on the bandwagon and say I hate COD because I don't. It's Mp has always been fun for me and is one of the only online games that I can go back and play again and again and not get bored. Battlefield 3, Halo and Gears are some others, but games like Assassins's Creed, Dead Space etc. Eh

Dart894557d ago

Sorry but this game has broken written all over it example.

B:Blind eye
A:Assassin
D:Dead eye.

NuclearDuke4557d ago

There is no perk called Dead Eye. The ability to stay undetected by Killstreaks aswell as lower footsteps, how is that broken?

It is an obvious counter to killstreaks, which is needed in certain gamemodes. Yes, you may be undetected by alot of things, but you do not run faster, reload faster or aim faster/hipfire better than people with other perks that defines their playstyle.

"MW3's Multiplayer Focusing on Balance"

lol good luck with that.

princejb1344557d ago

how is that broken, you haven't even played the game yet first of all
and blackflop was close to balance but didn't perfect it

blind eye is good for killstreaks
assassin is good against uav which we know theres gonna be a lot of them since support package killstreaks don't reset

and there is no dead eye perk

Gazondaily4557d ago

Yeah balancing is important but a lot of key issues need to be sorted out:

* Spawn points- these were downright atrocious in MW2 (although I did exploit them a lot to get my nukes)

* Hit-boxes- well we don't have dedicated servers so there's very little that can be done here I guess

* Quick-scope- its back to cater for the kids- why IW?

* No more deathstreaks- so relieved that painkiller isn't back- that had to be one of the most retarded additions to a FPS- couple this with the horrible spawn points where people would spawn right next to you, it just meant instant death- skill got punished

* Weapon balance- this wasn't ALL that bad in MW2 apart from some really silly exceptions such as the model shotguns- before they got nerfed they might as well have come with a scope. Spas shotgun is lethal- I myself have killed countless people with it from miles away.

princejb1344557d ago

i agree QS why IW?

and there is death streaks sorry to tell you, but no painkiller thankfully

My friend got mw3 early and I asked him about it. He said it was like MW2 but balanced. I asked him how he got it early and he said Walmart was selling them and he also said he likes old people because they aren't really informed about games and release dates.

Then I asked him if it was better than bf3. He said he personally liked bf3 over mw3 so far.

Hockeydud194557d ago

"Old people" Lol, taking advantage of them for a game. Kinda sick, kinda funny lol

MajorJackHoff4557d ago

Old people DO have a purpose!

DARK WITNESS4556d ago

We will all live to be old people some day, love them while you can.

princejb1344557d ago

yea a lot of places are selling them
i live in nyc and a lot of pop and mom stores have been selling them since this past monday

TheBlackMask4557d ago (Edited 4557d ago )

Yeah ok then.... ¬¬

Pretty sure they've said this before.

Hacks, glitches, bugs will never make this game balanced

"we want you to turn into this supersoldier" From one of the recent videos when they talk about killstreak awards..

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.

Gridknac14d 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-2313d 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

Christopher29d 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_vulgaris29d 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”.

OtterX28d ago (Edited 28d 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.

Palitera28d ago

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

fsfsxii28d ago

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

crazyCoconuts28d 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

OtterX28d 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

Knightofelemia29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos28d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast28d 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.
