Juggernaut playable in Modern Warfare 3

During a demo of Modern Warfare 3 at Gamescom, Activision revealed a co-op mission that involved one player strapping on a Juggernaut suit and wreaking havoc as a near-invincible walking tank.

nothing new, been done many times before...

Big Daddy in Bioshock 2 multiplayer
Tank in LFD2

Nice try but not the same.

Have you watched The Hurt Locker? I would love to play a game like that.

You can try to down play COD because it popular but cant deny that the games are entertaining and fun.

Edit @ Caleb - I really dont get what sucks about COD. The game has good graphics, great voice acting, decent story, fun game play and does does stuff like the Juggernaut suit - I always wanted to see that implemented into a game.

I respect your opinion but just want to know what makes the game suck that bad for you.

Caleb_1415028d ago

@Skyrwalker

He's not trying to downplay COD because it's got popular - most people trying to support COD always bring this argument up when that's not the case at all.

It just f**king sucks monkey nuts

evrfighter5028d ago

you can try to be a tank...or you can be a tank

tough decision?

calibann5027d ago

It's new to the COD series, idiot.

gamingdroid5027d ago

May the force be with you this November 8! :D

You will hear the same BS every single time about the CoD hate. The excuse is usually the same variation every single time:

- it sucks, simple idiot (no reason to share?)
- it's re-hashed every year (as if a shooter isn't rehashed?)
- cheaters (understandable, but I have rarely met cheaters and CoD being the biggest game will have them. All games have them....)

SixShotCop5027d ago

Perjoss is not the smartest dude.

ConstipatedGorilla5027d ago

@ Skywalker

It's just that people here tend to think they're part of some elite group of gamers. It's cool to hate the popular games because the majority likes them.

HenryFord5027d ago

They are like the "hipsters of gaming" ;-)

Seriously - I enjoyed every CoD for a while but got bored really fast, but that is just me - I don't like that gameplay, the run&gun-thing (multiplayer-wise) simply isn't mine - the Coop (despite the fact that the PC is missing Splitscreen which I hate bigtime) is really well-done and so is the SP. Except for BlackOps - I just couldn't get into it and the weapons look/feel like plastic in it... But every CoD before was great.

jeseth5027d ago

Yeah, it's not "cool" to play COD now! LMAO.

Get over yoursselves people. I hope you all crap on Battlefield the way you crap on COD once/IF (doubt it will) it becomes as popular as COD. There isn't a game out there that revolutionizes itself from one iteration to the next...

MW => MW2 => MW3
BFBC => BFBC2/MOH => BF3
KZ2 => KZ3
Halo 3 => Halo Reach
Gears => Gears 2 => Gears 3
Resistance => R2 => R3

Each successor if each franchise gets a little better looking each time, adds new modes/features/weapons, and gets a little more streamlined than the last.
What really gets me about the COD hate is that people make fun of how cheap and noobish it is but in Battlefield games are littered with camping snipers and cowards in vehicles. Its like everything that they hate on in COD is acceptable in games like Battlefield and Killzone? Whatever makes you feel better about your argument.

COD is an awesome franchise. Black Ops is a side step IMO, not my favorite, but I'm sure Infinity Ward will make MW3 the best yet. Just like Battlefield 3 will be an amazing game. Stop hating. You sound like a troll.

The juggernaut mission in MW2 spec-ops was so intense...

princejb1345027d ago

they better not include them in multiplayer, a lot of people gonna get pissed trying to shoot a walking tank
i remember that spec ops mission on mw2 where we had to kill several juggernauts

AngelGirl165028d ago

I hate playing as slow moving characters so im not liking this.

Twizlex5028d ago (Edited 5028d ago )

Yeah, I'd rather be a ninja than a tank.

But I'd also rather be an alive tank than be a dead ninja.

The Meerkat5028d ago

I'd rather be a ninja IN a tank

Best of both worlds.

Perjoss5028d ago

interesting idea Meerkat, dont some tanks have that feature where they can surrounds themselves with smoke to be harder to hit, just like when a ninja wants to vanish and he uses the smoke bomb :)

aviator1895028d ago

@The Meerkat
That would be nice, but that'd just be overpowering.

peowpeow5028d ago

Tis not the best of both worlds. A ninja tank is the best of both worlds.

The Meerkat5028d ago

Or Chuck Norris in a Ninja Tank

Twizlex5028d ago

Or Chuck Norris as a ninja tank transformer.

Ricardoportillo045028d ago

all of you guys are all wrong ...just plain chuck Norris is the best of both worlds

If you're so adamant in your belief that mw 3 will disappoint no matter what, why do you take the time to come to a mw 3 article and post regarding your "still don't care" attitude??

Really, your comment adds no valid feedback and has no discussion validity to it.

bumnut5028d ago

Thats how this site rolls, people comment on things they say they don't care about.

I hate COD now, it used to be great but not anymore. It has gone for too long on the same engine with the exact same gameplay.

If other franchises had the same graphics and gameplay for so long people would not be happy, but for some reason COD gets away with it.

Godchild10205028d ago

Why are you only going after him? When you have 4 plus members above him talking about ninjas, tanks and Mr. Chuck Norris. Those comments add little to no feedback to the Juggernaut being in the game.

padz15028d ago

@godchild LOL but those comments are at least funny to read where as 'still don't care' is just completely pointless

aviator1895028d ago (Edited 5028d ago )

@godchild1020
They aren't completely pointless. The juggernaut is being conveyed as the tank, the ninja is being conveyed as the wishful speed as to which the juggernaut should move due to fears of the juggernaut being too slow, and chuck norris and the juggernaut do share some obvious similarities, something you should automatically catch if you're fans of the actor and the modern warfare character type.

sprayNpray5028d ago (Edited 5028d ago )

Only to express my lack of interest with this game (and CODs to come that don't upgrade the engine from 3-4 years ago).

Stop feeding them money for these yearly dumps Activision takes on us and maybe we'll get a decent game with little to no bugs.

When I say I don't care it means I don't care about this game but the "care" that I show from posting comes from a love of what COD used to be and a longing for innovation like we saw in COD4. This series needs to move on from what Infinity ward gave us with MW1. I just want them to stop milking a dead cow.

OC_MurphysLaw5028d ago (Edited 5028d ago )

@sprayNpray ...milking a dead cow? You mean like EA has done for years now with most of their sports franchises? And soon to be Battlefield series with its success? How about Ubisoft and Assassin Creed? Activision gets attacked because they were ballsy enough to go on record and say they like and want annual franchises. The rest are doing it too, but just too chicken shit to admit it publically and yet so many here sing the praises of companies like EA because they pump out one BF game that looks amazing.

Too funny.

sprayNpray5028d ago

@Dlacy13g

"milking a dead cow? You mean like EA has done for years now with most of their sports franchises?"

Not arguing with you there, don't know why you assumed I didn't share this opinion...

" And soon to be Battlefield series with its success?"

They had been, but at least they've upgraded their engine and made attempts to listen to the community and bring back things we miss from the older battlefields. I'm okay with new CODs if they get the same time and dedication BF3 is getting.

How about Ubisoft and Assassin Creed?

Don't disagree with you there either...

" The rest are doing it too, but just too chicken shit to admit it publically and yet so many here sing the praises of companies like EA because they pump out one BF game that looks amazing.

Too funny."

I never said I didn't think most of the industry is bitching out just like Activision is. In fact I agree with you. On that note, why would you dis EA and BF3 when they are actually putting some effort into a game. At least it's a step in the right direction.

I am not some random COD hater, in fact up until the shit that was black ops I loved the franchise. But black ops was the buggiest piece of garbage they've put out to date and you would think over time it would be easier to get things right. I just want to hear some news that makes me "care" about COD again.

JokesOnYou5028d ago (Edited 5028d ago )

sprayNpray you dont care and yet here you are= troll.

bumnut, and all the trolls who obcessively follow COD/MW3, you hate COD yet here you are spewing the same old crap over and over again, you're more focused on the engine than the merits of which gameplay is more fun and why, I could at least respect those who prefer BF over COD for valid reasons, but it seems for many of you games are no more than a pixel count, whats worst is you guys sound more imature than the COD fans you belittle, like followers, you're the type who just cant be content with finding faults in the things you dont like, no you NEED others to agree, and when they dont you just keep coming back spewing hatred, like the little spoil kid on the playground, "Mommies Boy".....lol, lets hope you grow out of it.

Kee5028d ago

As long as it isn't in multiplayer. That would get abused so badly.

MRHARDON5028d ago (Edited 5028d ago )

I guess you didn't get the memo....

Kee5028d ago (Edited 5028d ago )

Yeah, that was in the co-op reveal. And just because it says juggernaut doesn't mean he was one. Could've just been a challenge.

Nice name, by the way

superrey195028d ago (Edited 5028d ago )

@kee
yes that was the co-op reveal, but that last bit was part of the multiplayer seeing as how he killed another player and not an enemy AI.

...and anyone who has played a cod game knows that's a killstreak reward not a challenge.

3GenGames5028d ago (Edited 5028d ago )

1 "POINT" STEAK: JUGGERNAUT lol @ that. Points? Stop being different because you want to feel special, IW, you just look stupid.

I'm so tired of playing with KILL streaks, it's so stupid. But I'm also tired of something like an MP5 just raping my M4 Carbine from 50 yards out, as that make sense. I'm done with COD, it's all just stupid.

DtotheRoc5028d ago

ddue i know they need to offer EVER game mode as an option to play without killstreaks then maybe cod would b fun again.

3GenGames5028d ago (Edited 5028d ago )

That won't happen though, because COD is KILLSTREAKS. Take them out and the sheep will escape.

DtotheRoc5028d ago

@3gengames: actually bro, i know a lot of ppl that are sick of killstreaks after how easy it was to spawn trap teams in objective modes...i witnessed one guy on his team in radiation go 208-3 i know it's in his file share and it's just disgusting to watch. if there was a decent spawn system and a good perk system that makes you invisible TO ALL killstreaks split up into two perks in teh same tier to be balanced then yes and allow you to spawn on a squad leader or something using those perks would possibly balance this out but since black ops is utter garbage and killstreaks are so overpowered lots of ppl are SICK of killstreaks so i believe there is a larger demand than you thikn that would rather play the game based on skill and wins and not having one team get raped by 9 chopper gunners all in a matter of 2 and half minute rounds that's just fucking stupid. if they give us HQ, demo, search, capture the flag, sabotage all without killstreaks i'd be sooo f'ing happy and would actually buy this game. that with the talks of dedicated servers and admin support but i'll believe it when i see it.

MRHARDON5028d ago

Actually its called "Point streaks" and its actually a 15 point streak, not a 1.

3GenGames5028d ago

And that changes what? It's still a streak that goes up with kills, unless they now give you points for only hitting people with grenades as they've nurfed those to Blops standards in this game because they won't get any kills.

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_Sakai296d ago (Edited 296d 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.

Cacabunga296d ago

All about them headshots for Xbox

badz149296d ago

Gotta pump those numbers up

blackblades296d 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.

XiNatsuDragnel296d ago

Oh bad this will be entertaining to watch

ZycoFox296d 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.

lelo2play296d ago

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

Rynxie296d ago (Edited 296d 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).

StormSnooper296d ago (Edited 296d 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)

pwnmaster3000296d 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-ro296d 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.

StormSnooper296d 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.

@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.

S2Killinit299d ago (Edited 299d 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.

smashman98298d 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.

S2Killinit298d ago (Edited 298d 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)

thesoftware730298d 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

S2Killinit298d 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.

thesoftware730298d ago (Edited 298d 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.

S2Killinit294d 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.
