Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer Improvements

Not being a massive Modern Warfare fan myself (Despite pouring hundreds of hours into the title, as most of us have) I wanted to try and focus on the multiplayer improvements which IW have confirmed for MW3. This is an objective look at lessons they have learned and ways they will tackle previous issues.

What with the BF3 beta being such a let down let's hope this works, was really hoping to avoid yet another CoD game.

fingersports4588d ago

Don't write off BF3 because of one map, technically you have seen no team play or squad based cooperation yet. That's the whole point of Battlefield! Agreed DICE picked the worst map to use for Beta but the game will not dissapoint!

princejb1344588d ago

thats the thing about battlefield i loved the beta and im buying the full game but
im scared of the team play
while i was playing the beta most of the stuff i had to do by myself cause some idiots was all the way in the back camping and spinning in place
without team play is pretty much useless to win most of the game modes
while in call of duty all you need is 1 really good person to win it for you the majority of the time

fingersports4588d ago

While I agree with you, is winning what you are playing for? Or are you playing to enjoy the game?

I'll get both games, and play both games differently. Good time for gaming?

princejb1344587d ago

im very competitive i got them from my sports side so i enjoy games but i mostly enjoy it when im winning not as much when im losing

InTheLab4587d ago

@Fingersports

Why enter competitive multiplayer if winning is not your priority?

fingersports4587d ago

@InTheLab It was a genuine question, I think if you read what I said again I enjoy both aspects, teamplay and winning and will play both games accordingly.

One map? Have you been on Caspian Border lately? Tanks have become jets, literally. They fly in the air like a helium balloon.. and then drop so fast like a.. well.. tank?

Fact of the matter is, this Beta was released so late in comparison to other betas, such as Uncharted 3 MP Beta. They did such a good job, and DICE failed.
The game will definitely go Gold in the next 5 days. Thus meaning, that DICE have either created the most buggy game of all time, or day 1- there will be a HUGE update.

I'm pretty sure that if they can't fix ONE map for the beta, then the rest of them are fucked, and 'Operation Metro' is a small map compared to the others.

I'm still going to buy the game on day one, call me a hypocrite all you like, I'm just stating the flaws of this game, really hope DICE/EA pull them selves together and release a good game.

I'll also be purchasing MW3, all they have to do is create a good experience in the first week, no lag, no connection issues, no overpowered perks/guns..
Then they can win over the BF3 players who switched from CoD.

I'll be purchasing them both anyway. LOL

I always find it funny that Patching the game is such a struggle for Infinity Ward? They make a big deal out of it, how it supposedly sits with Sony/Microsoft for a month being "Q&A'ed" and what, while other games seem to be able to release patches on a whim? Even Black Ops, Treyarch seems to be immune to these issues Infinity Ward seems to face..

Unable to Patch weapon balance before? What? Treyarch did it, a Patch can do this with any game ever made..

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.

Gridknac15d 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-2314d 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

Christopher30d 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_vulgaris30d 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”.

OtterX29d ago (Edited 29d 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.

Palitera29d ago

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

fsfsxii29d ago

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

crazyCoconuts29d 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

OtterX29d 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

Knightofelemia30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos29d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast29d 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.
