No Dive to Prone in Modern Warfare 3 But There Are New MP Modes

Robert Bowling has just confirmed via Twitter that there will be no dive to prone in Modern Warfare 3, however there will be new multiplayer modes. He did not specify what they will be.

LOGICWINS5062d ago

No dive to prone, no one man army, no nukes, no last stand, no commando...lookin good.

Dart895062d ago

I hate cod but it sounds like they're trying to take it back to cod 4 but i still wont buy it until.

1.REMOVE AIM ASSIST COMPLETELY
2.NEW ENGINE
3.BETTER ANIMATIONS i've seen my bro get killed while the enemy character model was still reloading seriously what kind of crap is that??

Jezuz5061d ago

That's why I play BF3.

KingDustero5061d ago (Edited 5061d ago )

I agree on ALL of these.

IMO CoD could actually be a game that takes skill to play if aim assist was removed. It just makes the game too noob friendly.

The "new" modes are probably some of the modes that were for some reason disabled in MW2.

MidnytRain5061d ago

"i've seen my bro get killed while the enemy character model was still reloading seriously what kind of crap is that??"

That's actually a trick attributed to "high-level" play. Anyway, I don't think the aim-assist is going anywhere. It'd change the pace of the game.

-Alpha5061d ago

You can turn aim assist off for Blops.

Aim assist is in every console shooter to some degree. COD does have too much though.

@Dart89

"BETTER ANIMATIONS i've seen my bro get killed while the enemy character model was still reloading seriously what kind of crap is that?? "

its called lag which every game has(depending on your internet speed) u ignorant troll.

@ Jezuz..give it a rest. different people different opinion,just because u dont like cod dose not mean u need to troll every cod article, cod fan boys r online playing there game while bf fan boys r on n4g trolling,if u love ur game so much then go play it and stop trolling.

Tr10wn5061d ago

3.BETTER ANIMATIONS

CoD maybe is been redone over and over again but sorry mate the animations still pretty good, check your brother internet. and about the engine, well if we still play games from Valve "Source Engine" we can play CoD with the same engine, Valve is doing it and Activition is doing it, if its working don't change it upgrade it.

Pixel_Enemy5061d ago

COD is dead to me until I see a new engine. I am officially done buying the same game year in and year out. I refuse to allow them to make tweaks to their engine and call it a new game.

Ducky5061d ago

^ Why does the engine matter?

It looks decent and runs at 60fps, what deficiency does the current engine have to warrant a new one?

There's so many great games that use the Unreal engine, and all of Valve's recent games have been using the Source engine as well.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5061d ago (Edited 5061d ago )

Even the sound of COD is not as good compared to BF3.

BF3 offers better things as Quality and Quantity.

FoShizzlenizle5061d ago

Battlefield games have aim assist just like COD.

bozebo5061d ago

"3.BETTER ANIMATIONS i've seen my bro get killed while the enemy character model was still reloading seriously what kind of crap is that?? "

That's called lag, it happens in every multiplayer game unless you are on LAN.

evrfighter5061d ago

10 bucks says they ripped off more cs/tf2 game modes.

we gonna see surf maps, jump maps, soccer maps, melee arena maps, aim maps.

MonopolyRSV5061d ago

@-Alpha

No you can't. It SAYS you can disable it but it's always there slightly, at least in zombies.

gamingdroid5060d ago

Call of Duty tends to deliver one of the best campaign experiences combined with fantastic co-op modes.

I'm most likely buying it, and maybe even day one if I ain't to busy with Gears 3.

What was wrong with dive to prone? I thought it was nifty :(

Urrakia345061d ago

It's a Treyarch thing. :P

miDnIghtEr5061d ago

Ya Treyarch are the ones who innovate COD. From making your squad mate show up in blue, to zombies, to gun game and money games to prone to dive.

I thought it was a great and awesome button to have. Can't tell you how many cool moves I've done to escape death using the prone dive.

vickers5005061d ago

I liked dive to prone as well.

Jumping out of windows was some of the more fun times I had in Black Ops.

arjman5061d ago

Every year we say the same thing, I'm reserving any sort of judgement until I actually play the game.

blumatt5061d ago

I'm reserving my judgment too. Until the gameplay gets back to the CoD4 style that I learned to love, I won't be happy.

ReservoirDog3165061d ago

I actually liked dive to prone. Always wanted that in an FPS since I always jumped and crouched in singleplayer. It always seemed cool to me.

Meh, whatever I guess.

princejb1345060d ago

dive to prone was very useful, it saved me so many times from grenades

dive to prone is bad? lol i liked it.

Forbidden_Darkness5061d ago

Yeah, I could have imagined some awesome quick scopes with it in.

FAGOL5061d ago

It was only cool for a while. But then you realise it's more annoying than helpful.

DA_SHREDDER5061d ago

Take out dive prone but add aim cheating? Screw you IW!

CDbiggen5061d ago

I once scored an amazing dive to prone final kill. On the highest point on WMD with lightweight pro on so no damage is taken from any height (lol...) dived off, ballistic knife to the poor guy in front of me. Little things like that make Black Ops fun to play.

JellyJelly5061d ago

"lightweight pro on so no damage is taken from any height"

Pretty sure they are working on a patch for that. It will be out in 3 years.

jdktech20105061d ago

Please make it interesting and not a reskinned multiplayer mode.

I would love for you guys to steal Treyarch's WAR mode...just saying.

LilDeja935061d ago

To be fair the "War mode" on WAW was pretty fun.

jdktech20105061d ago

Definitely....I would love that to make it to MW3 but it probably won't.....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III & Warzone - Season 6 Combat Pack Trailer

Free for Playstation owners

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.

Jin_Sakai325d ago (Edited 325d ago )

“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.

Cacabunga324d ago

All about them headshots for Xbox

badz149325d ago

Gotta pump those numbers up

blackblades324d 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.

XiNatsuDragnel325d ago

Oh bad this will be entertaining to watch

ZycoFox324d 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.

lelo2play325d ago

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

Rynxie325d ago (Edited 325d 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).

StormSnooper324d ago (Edited 324d 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)

pwnmaster3000325d 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-ro325d 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.

StormSnooper324d 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.

just_looken327d 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.

S2Killinit327d ago (Edited 327d 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.

@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.

S2Killinit327d ago (Edited 327d 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.

smashman98327d 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.

S2Killinit327d ago (Edited 327d 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)

thesoftware730327d 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

S2Killinit326d 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.

thesoftware730326d ago (Edited 326d 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.

S2Killinit322d 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.

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.

montebristo327d 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!
