Activision has unleashed a press release confirming that Modern Warfare 3 will be arriving on shelves across the world on the 8th of November.

Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing, then went on to say that “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is by far the most epic Call of Duty experience yet."

"Activision promises to raise the bar"

lol i was drinking water while reading that, almost choked :P

PoulCast4713d ago

People are making assumptions based on MW2 & Black Ops. These two games are the most sold First Person Shooters in history. Obviously, both games "raised the bar" and personally I think the gameplay in both games were really good, but it had lacks and flaws that made me give up on both after ½ a year of play.

With Sledgehammer & Raven Software focusing on the Multiplayer part, you can expect to see a new dimension from outside sources using the IW Engine modified for a 2011 title.

Untill you see actualy footage of online gameplay, don't throw useless comments. It just makes you're opinion less interesting and in most cases invalid.

swishman4713d ago

the only thing they can raise is the amount of glitches lol

DARK WITNESS4713d ago (Edited 4713d ago )

not really in my opinion..

Cod4 raised the bar, MW2 and Black-ops just kept riding on that success.

They added bits here and there, that was all.

MW3 to raise the bar, I am sure I have heard that before.

If raising the bar means making at more noob friendly and throwing in stupid ideas like commando then their bar is not very high.

Scrotie_McBoogerball4713d ago

The bar has got progressively lower with each COD since the first Modern Warfare.

Trunkz4713d ago

"The passion and energy of our developers is reflected in everything about the title."

True, because they keep re-using many things from past Call of Dutys like Animations cause their lazy + save money.

Oldman1004714d ago

I'm still waiting for it to be raised higher than cod 4 milktivision.

DontShoot-Me-Bro4714d ago (Edited 4714d ago )

I was actually breast fed until i was 3, so i naturally have a soft spot for milk....

ufo8mycat4713d ago

This made me laugh

"Activision", "promises" and "raise the bar" in the same sentence.

I guess we shall see.

retrofly4713d ago

I don't belive anything put out by publishers as part of PR. I mean what are they going to say

"actually with the changes in personel MW3 is going to be shit this year so don't buy it"

:)

Give us the gameplay and features and let us decide

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.

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.

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

Christopher23d 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_vulgaris23d 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”.

OtterX22d ago (Edited 22d 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.

Palitera22d ago

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

fsfsxii22d ago

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

crazyCoconuts22d 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

OtterX22d 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

Knightofelemia23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos22d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast22d 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.
