Most important thing to be considered is to revamp the Matchmaking completely.
I hope Activision releases a Beta beforehand so that most of the major issues with multiplayer get fixed before the final product is shipped instead of Day 1 Patch.

my MW 3 wishlist. get rid of COD elite all together

geniusgamerdoc5128d ago

Superb article mate.Nice 16 points to implement in Modern Warfare 3.
Though Quick scoping is a controversial matter it should not be included in modern shooters as it has be proved impossible in real life in a Combat facts video on Gametrailers.

KyRo5128d ago (Edited 5128d ago )

While I agree mostly some of these need a rethink.

Quick scoping needs to be addressed. I admit its a good skill for those that can pull it off but when the shot ain't even lined up and sometimes the person not even fully in the scope and it kills you, you feel cheated 9 times out of ten.

Shotguns should never be secondary weapons. Look at the uproar there was in MW2. It was too unbalanced (something IW is quite good at it seems), some people could snipe with shotguns lol

Vehicles didn't go down well in WaW or the RC car in BO. It would result in more people camping in buildings too, something that is countered in BF with destruction, something that I don't think we'll see on this gen consoles COD.

I agree with the rest.

Shackdaddy8365129d ago (Edited 5129d ago )

Good list except for number 4. Don't bring back quick-scoping but don't take care of it like they did in Blops. That was horrible. Make it like MW1.

P.S. The only way CoD will have destruction is if they make a new engine. They can't just add destruction into a 6 year old engine that wasn't made for it. Any destruction in MW3 will be scripted.

shreeveera5129d ago

You are absolutely rightly right.
Sniper rifles with QS felt too campy and irritable in MW2 while they lost their usage totally in Black ops where you could hardly see any snipers.
Infinity Ward gotta fix the Sniper rifles just like in Bad Company 2-Powerful yet not misused.

PoulCast5128d ago

Sniping in CoD4 is fucking annoying, it's so easy. If clan matches allowed it, my team would use five snipers all the time.

BALLARD325129d ago

Quickscoping should be eliminated COMPLETELY. It's an exploit plain and simple. Snipers were not put into the game with the intent of having people run around abusing the aim system.

shreeveera5129d ago

You are right if Quick scoping gets exploitable.
Im not saying that QS should become so easy so that even noobs could pull it off.
Its definitely required to somehow fix the Sniper rifles found in Black ops where they for some reason not so fun to use and lacked flare like in MW1 or Bad company 2.
It takes quite a bit of mastery and perfection even to QS since the rate of fire of any average Sniper rifle is too low for comfort at close quarters combat.
Best thing to do is to release a public Beta and then sort out thing before release.

CrimsonEngage5128d ago

Vehicles and Destruction is what you want? Play Battlefield.

Joe29115128d ago

This is so true!

I'll probably buy both MW3 and BF3 - both gunna be killer games.

geniusgamerdoc5128d ago

Sniping should be done similar to Battlefield Bad company 2.Its not too spammy and perfect.

Modern Warfare 3 flooded with cheaters after arrival on Xbox Game Pass

Players are using hacks to gain an advantage in the game, such as aimbots and wall hacks. The first gives a player superhuman aiming abilities, while a wall hack lets you see through walls to gauge where other players are.

“These hacks are typically used by PC players, but those playing on PC via Xbox Game Pass are identified as Xbox players in multiplayer lobbies.”

This is pretty dumb to say the least.

Cacabunga318d ago

All about them headshots for Xbox

badz149318d ago

Gotta pump those numbers up

blackblades318d ago

That's a WTF, they suppose to be labeled as pc users even if its on PC game pass. They mess that up big time.

XiNatsuDragnel318d ago

Oh bad this will be entertaining to watch

ZycoFox318d ago

If AI keeps getting better (and it will) it's just a matter of time before there's more sophisticated cheats even for consoles, and they wouldn't even need to be running on it, I have little doubt about that.

lelo2play318d ago

Don't Gamepass online games have anti-cheat systems?
If not, that's pretty dumb. Microsoft need to fix that asap.

Rynxie318d ago (Edited 318d ago )

They won't ever fix this problem, unless they (developers, publishers, Sony and MS) go after the cheat providers directly. You no longer need to hack consoles to use hacks. During the ps360 days, they were going after cheat devices, but it was a cat and mouse game. These cheating methods were around during those days, it's nothing new, but they kept it under control. Since the PS4/Xbox one generation, they stopped going after these cheating devices and it became widespread. Which I find odd, since they started charging for online play (PS4).

StormSnooper318d ago (Edited 318d ago )

Possibly, this is because the companies were going after cheats because the same cheats were being used to pirate the games, whereas today, the companies use online verification to prevent piracy, thus eliminating the need to go after people who cheat only to gain an advantage in the game. As long as the cheater remains below the radar, and does not completely break the game, the companies look the other way as their wallets are not threatened by it. (that is my completely Uneducated opinion on the matter)

pwnmaster3000318d ago

I mean, COD games was always filled with hackers, nothing new. I can’t blame MS on this. Activision had years to try and fix this. Might take MS some time to make some change.

Rude-ro318d ago

It all depends…
Microsoft’s guidance on how to handle gamepass on pc and their love to force crossplay with pc seems like a them issue.
And they own activision, so it is still a them issue.

StormSnooper318d ago

lol well that sucks.

Is there a reason this happened upon arrival on xbox?

Activision Reportedly Sold An AI-Generated Skin In Call Of Duty

The Yokai's Wrath bundle was released despite previous guarantees by Activision that A.I. would not be used for final assets, per the report. Instead, Activision assured developers it was simply for internal concepts. That, of course, was not followed through. For what it's worth, per the PlayStation Store, 2,400 COD Points cost $19.99, meaning players potentially spent real-life money on a skin that was not created by an actual human.

As far as A.I. use goes across Activision, a source told Wired that 2D artists are utilizing A.I. to aid their work. That is a result of mass layoffs, in which many 2D artists were impacted. “A lot of 2D artists were laid off,” the source named Noah said. “Remaining concept artists were then forced to use A.I. to aid in their work.” Mandatory A.I. trainings have been implemented, according to Noah.

I mean, is this even surprising?

just_looken321d ago

It is not ubisoft has a ai tool for crating stories/script's they even talked about npc's having there own ai speech like we see with those skyrim mods.

Ai is the future sadly which sucks in so many way's.

S2Killinit321d ago (Edited 321d ago )

Activision. And MS. They will ruin console gaming forever.

Oh and where the FRIGGIN outrage people? When Sony makes a remaster of a masterpiece single player story driven game, they get roasted. But this, this, goes unnoticed? Then don’t complain that you aren’t getting enough single player story games.

Ea and ubisoft also use ai

ea using ai for development threatening mass layoffs.
https://www.pcmag.com/news/...

ubisoft ai for npc speech
https://www.theverge.com/20...

Almost every big boy in the industry is using ai in some sort of way now

Oh and sony? well they are making spyware ai were they can see how long it took you to do X and adjust difficultly.

@blackblades

Wow this site every time you say the S word or P word they dive in defend there god its beyond nuts

I said "they are making"

You know a term that means its not out yet ffs

S2Killinit321d ago (Edited 321d ago )

How is that a response to what I said? Are they also selling AI generated skins?

Cacabunga320d ago (Edited 320d ago )

Always bringing useless links totally off topic.. just to try to show you are superior in knowledge to everyone else

@S2Killinit

You never mentioned skins in your comment just stated its all microsoft's fault like so many others.

When like i showed they are late to the ball game as every other company is using or plans to use ai in various field.

If you combine everything then its getting closer to hitting a button and poof out comes a game no soul no passion nothing.

Right now its art/3d models/skins/writing/voice work some and coding can all be done via ai.

S2Killinit321d ago (Edited 321d ago )

That was the whole point of my comment, I wrote it in response to the article. Instead of focusing on making exciting games and developing talented developers, they are busy making AI generated skins that people are buying for huge sums of money. Then, some people turn around and shit on Sony when it tries to capitalize on single player classics by making remasters, and the same people then complain that they want more single player games. MS cannabalized the industry because they never thought making games was essential to their business. So, instead of nurturing theor own studios, they let them die, then went and shrunk the industry, hurting interests of every gamer in the world. Anytime there is a bad trend in the industry, MS is at the helm, leading the way. That is what I’m saying.

smashman98320d ago

I'm sorry but do you honestly believe Sony will sit out of A.I. Every executive at every one of these publishers is wetting themselves in delight at the prospect of A.I. You best believe that once we start seeing it spread throughout the industry Sony won't be too far behind. The only people we'll have to blame are the consumers themselves.

S2Killinit320d ago (Edited 320d ago )

No, I don't believe that Sony will not do the same. But, as I mentioned, MS is always the first to embrace such things and create the worst trends. Once they establish that this is the best way to make money, everyone else will follow. (Have to follow if they want to stay competitive)

thesoftware730320d ago

S2, and blackblades:

All from the Horse's mouth below.

"Artificial intelligence (AI) in video games is crucial for Gen Z and Gen Alpha, who seek “personalization across everything,” says PlayStation executive Asad Qizilbash."

“Advancements in AI will create more personalized experiences and meaningful stories for consumers.”

"He emphasized that AI could enable non-player characters to interact with players based on their actions, enhancing the personal connection within the game."

Yeah, Just MS and Activision...smh

S2Killinit320d ago

I’ve already explained myself twice. Quit your false equivalence, same thing the xbox fateful pulled before and after the ABK acquisitions. Which by the way, blew up in your faces real good. Now, doing the same thing when someone brings up MS’s nefarious behavior, defend them to the end, and watch them scorch gaming as they have been. At least rest of us can take consolation in that the smoke will go in your eyes before anyone else’s.

thesoftware730320d ago (Edited 320d ago )

"Quit your false equivalence, same thing the xbox fateful pulled before and after the ABK acquisitions. Which by the way, blew up in your faces real good."

I'm not sure what you are talking about, you seem to have a issue communicating, because we are on a post about using AI to create video games content, and you put that solely at the feet of MS and Activision, when it's being, and will be used industry wide, right from Sony mouth, I would say it's relevant...then you went on to give Sony a spit shine slob down about a masterpiece TLoU when this had absolutely nothing to do with Sony or TLoU, then you attempted to clean up your rambling spit shine with no real backing for a ridiculous comment.

Obviously you meant to post that nonsensical over exaggerated comment. I also don't know what blew up in people faces, I am perfectly fine with the game industry, I don't have time to be internet outraged about nothingness.

Really read your comment and listen to what you said.

"Activision. And MS. They will ruin console gaming forever."

Bro, for real? Really? Seriously? It's that serious? So there is nothing Sony and Nintendo can do against MS and Activision? MS is 3rd place with you even talking about?

If we stay relevant on MTX, then you still sound ridiculous because again, you lay it all at MS and Activision's feet when almost all companies have used some form of MTX, including yup... Sony.

S2Killinit316d ago

I read this comment, it boiled down to “seeiously?”.

My answer: yes seriously. Since you didn’t say anything else, what else can I tell you? Yes MS is seriously ruining gaming. They have been for some time, and working their way to where we are today, and aren’t even done yet. MS are the worst thing to happen to console gaming.

"The Yokai's Wrath bundle was released despite previous guarantees by Activision that A.I. would not be used for final assets, per the report."

We're talking concept art? Because as of right now there's no way to generate a final 3D model with final textures. So the final assets don't use AI. That's not to say that it sucks for 2D artist that it's easier to generate visual ideas and build from them leading to less 2D artists needed (really sucks), but are they say the final concept art was completely AI generated and then 3D artists built from that? And yes, I'll pile on that Activision as a publisher and their developers I have experience with suck and they'll do whatever, ethics be damned.

OldDuffer320d ago

Thats actually a very useful and informative piece, thank you.

just_looken320d ago

@OldDuffer

Your welcome though it seems it went over many users heads.

PapaBop321d ago

Wow I can just imagine the likes of Activision, EA and Ubi etc having an army of AIs creating overpriced crap and the fanboys just lapping it up. I hope the AIs have a good union.

montebristo321d ago

I understand why people think it’s good idea to Unionize to fight back against such things but it’s not. It’s a bad idea. It’s activisions wet dream to have these pumped out weekly by some AI. Protect your neck!
