Yet it made over a billion dollars in 16 days and the next one will do more of the same. For every person who does not get it, 2 will come in to replace them. They will not make any changes until it stops selling and I do not see that happening. From Modern 2 we have heard people claim how much is sucks and how they will never buy another one, yet each release outsells the previous one.

It does have issues such as a storyline that is to short and some play balance issues with the multiplay, yet it was not the bug-ladden mess that Battlefield 3 was and has provided the best multiplay shooter action of the year by far.

Your calling Bf3 buggy,for real? How many patches has mw3 had now? It is by far the worst mp in any cod. Crappy maps lag, no scoping really that crap. I can't believe the tards who can't see the lack of progress in this series. The only thing that has changed about this game is the name.

[Garethvk]

PC Gamer cited the bugs in BF 3 as inexcusable so I am hardly alone. At least MW 3 does not crash all over the place and lock up like BF 3 did for its first two months on the market. I have had far less lag in MW 3 than I have had in any BF 3 game as well.

You would think that someone your age would have sense,COD has the sells it has because it appeals to kids easy as that, my friends buy it every year it's a casual game that appeals to the to a large group of people.Yes battlefield has bugs but that what happens when you use a new engine and i know for a fact that Dice is working on them because they are one of the top 5 devs right now, we had problems with bad company 2 also and they were all pretty much fixed.

I have no hate for COD but NO true gamer cares about sells or even mentions them unless they are well deserved.

[Garethvk]

And no game has ever sold to the level of COD so they must be doing something right. A new engine is no excuse for releasing a game as bug laden as BF 3. I know tons of adults who play Modern and who were so turned off by all of the issues with BF 3.

While BF 3 had more potential and features nothing can compensate for the bugs as it only helped Modern 3 when they produced a far more stable multiplay experience. It is now three plus months later and BF 3 is still laden with bugs. Yet that did not stop them from charging full price and giving the public at best a beta which is still not as stable as it should be.

@Garethvk I just don't get it you act as if BF3 is unplayable yes it has bugs but none at least for me are game breaking.Then you still don't get that sell does not equal quality COD sell because it is a house hold name Cod4 made that because it was a amazing game so even if battlefield 3 was bug-less it still wouldn't sell as much as cod. Black ops was full of bugs in yet Activsion still sold it at full price with 15 dollar dlc when these devs didn't even try to do anything to the game.

All i have to say is this game is an expansion to MW2.

@ Kill

How could you call the game "Casual" when people put in like 10-20 days worth of time on the MP alone? COD sells well because it's fun. Simple as that.

[Unlimax]

The sad thing is .. you can't stop all those whiny little kids from buying this game EVERY YEAR !

[Buzz7S]

If only they utilised something similar to EA and not having anyone under the age of 13 playing online. THEN the biggest problem with Call of Duty will be solved.

[BtnMshrTV]

Yeah but if you think about it, how many kids lie about their age online? I'm 13, tbh.

As long as parents continue to buy games for their 9 year old kids, CoD will be around...

[StayStatic]

PROBLEM ? noooo i don't believe it , shooter of the year and all that lmao ...

[AgentWD40]

would be to go back to basics, Cod 4 was close to perfection maps and weapons wise and the kill streaks were just right for the size of the maps. In my opinion they have gone over the top with the kill streaks, the amount of attachments you can have on your guns, the perks and the overall balance and design of the maps. They seem to have gone with the notion that more = better but I think it has gone wrong. I have been a COD player since number one and post COD4 they have been getting steadily worse to the point where now COD vets like my self are not enjoying the game. Lets face it most COD players came in at WAW so they expect nothing better than what they are getting. I am really enjoying battlefield 3 at the minute and I don't want COD to go down the same route as battlefield, I just want COD back to its brilliant best.

[Gamer-Z]

That's what all the real fans of the game have been waiting for but I doubt it will happen. As for the next COD I don't see what else they can add/do to the game what hasn't already been done, except maybe add a new ENGINE! <__< but I doubt that will also happen, so the next COD is probably going to be more of the same crap we as gamers have come to expect from the series. True change and improvement won't come to this game unless we stop supporting lazy development by buying COD every year.

Shooter of the year?! Lol get real

I have not played MW3 yet, i played Battlefield 3 that I rented for the Xbox-360 and recently bought MW2 cheap for the PS3, I used to enjoy that game but it felt so old hat next to BF3, and I hear MW3 is not much different, can anyone tell me how BF3 compares to the 360 version on PS3?
