MW3 won’t have Black Ops’ Character Customization, but will have an “Enhanced” Theater Mode

Although Modern Warfare 3 is a direct sequel to Modern Warfare 2, comparisons with the previous Call of Duty title, Black Ops, are bound to happen. Robert Bowling shed some light on some of the similarities and differences between the two games in question.

Criminal4580d ago

Face paint was a gimmick in Black Ops. I don't mind that it's not coming back. As long as they work on balance, I'm happy.

Mister_V4580d ago

I dont think I ever used face paint even once!

jbl3164580d ago

I didn't even know the game has face paint lol. Although I haven't played this game since last year...

blumatt4580d ago

I just hope that the theatre mode doesn't become Elite only. I don't want features taken away that the older games had, just to become Elite "features". I'm not going to buy Elite, because I don't buy into the whole DLC map pack thing. I'll buy the game (regular version) and play it like hell, but I'm not giving them more money for stuff that could've been on the disc when I picked it up. lol

Criminal4580d ago

@Blumatt
Theater mode will be available to everyone. Elite paid members will get extra features.

rabidpancakeburglar4580d ago

I used face paint a lot when I was a kid but when it came to black ops I just wasn't interested, I guess I'm just growing up :(

blumatt4580d ago

Oh, ok, man. That's definitely good news to hear. I hope this game can bring us back to the CoD4 days.

Corepred44580d ago

Kind of a downer that they won't have character customization. I know its not a big issue but I would love to have my own custom guy instead of one of these generic faces they give you. Just gives it a personalized feeling especially when you are playing with friends and you kill their character! lol oh well i'll still enjoy the game.

Dolphin diving? lol, good one Rob. I think it's pretty sad how people who work at the same company (Activision) like to ridicule each other.

BTW, I liked the face paint, it made for good camouflage.

Mister_V4580d ago

Never cared much for it. I won't find it a loss.

narutogameking4580d ago

They're not "ridiculing" each other.
You're just being paranoid.

Sukebe_Gamer4580d ago

I think Rob is a little ticked that BO out did MW2 in sales. It's good that they have some kind of rivalry within the company. In theory, that competitive type of environment should push them improve their games to new heights. lol

JohnApocalypse4580d ago

Facepaint wasn't really small add-on. I prfer my character to wear a gas mask anyway

Mister_V4580d ago

From the early leaked pictures of MW3, It looked like we were going to be able to customize masks n such.

Heartnet4580d ago

they were leaked :) said it all xD

SpartanZero4580d ago (Edited 4580d ago )

Thats sucks I liked to hide in the bushes in jungle with the face paint ghillie suit with my camo sniper.

Criminal4580d ago

It's cool on paper, but do think it's an effective strategy?

EazyC4580d ago

Its about time they implemented proper character customization, with appearance, build, tattoos, outfits etc..

Criminal4580d ago

Just to clarify MW3 will not have that.

Fishy Fingers4580d ago

What FPS does? Let alone a military shooter. Military kind of like the outfits they issue.

KaBaW4580d ago (Edited 4580d ago )

Brink had it! :D There's prolly been others, too, I'm sure. Duno what though!
I'd like to see a military shooter have an in depth character customization..

jimmywolf4580d ago

don't worry MW4 will it big the biggest update to the game

Lavitz20124580d ago

If MW4 is the biggest update to cod since cod4 i will buy it but until then no buy.

BuffMordecai4580d ago (Edited 4580d ago )

Yeah, they should put Saint's Row level customization in. I'd be running through the jungle as Forest Gump.

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

melons15d ago

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.

Gridknac14d 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-2313d 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

Christopher29d 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_vulgaris29d 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.

Palitera28d ago

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

fsfsxii28d ago

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

crazyCoconuts28d 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

OtterX28d 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

Knightofelemia29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos28d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast28d 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.
