The first details of the game have been leaked.


In two weeks Activision planned to announce Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 officially, but the cat is out of the bag and it has brought a staggering amount of information, release date, details on game modes, pictures, audio dialogue, and even campaign spoilers.

Here are the important things to know about Modern Warfare 3 without spoilers. If you feel like you want to go into the game without any prior knowledge then this would be the time to turn back.

Release date: November 8th 2011

Multiplayer: Up to 20 playable maps (might change before retail shipping)

Game will start where the last game left off and will have players traveling around the world including Paris, London, and NYC.

New characters who appear to be destined for future Modern Warfare games, especially two Delta Force operatives codenamed "Frost" and "Sandman".

Game modes: Spec Ops mission mode and Spec Ops Survival mode, which is described as waves of enemies at an increased difficulty during progression.

I'll play it, but more excited for Gears of War 3, NCAA, etc. CoD has gotten ridiculous to appease the hyperactive Mountain Dew kiddies.

Survival mode = :clap:

I'll definitely play the hell out of that regardless of how everything else is.

I'm already burned out on Gears 3. If they don't patch the two new weapons, I'm not even going to buy it. :D

It's the equivalent to NCAA and Madden for me. Regardless of how good/bad it is, I'm buying it. I'm just really hoping they return to the roots with COD4. COD4 was single handily the best online shooter I ever played. There's also been murmurs of the game getting dedicated servers as well which would automatically improve things greatly.

Still though, they release like two map packs after they release the game when they probably already had the maps finished when they shipped the game. They are going to make as much money as they can just like any other company, who can blame them.

More MW3 info from USA Today:


Get ready for another Modern Warfare thrill ride.

Based on two levels shown at an Activision pre-E3 event last week, Call of Duty is in good hands. That means more outlandish action for players when COD: Modern Warfare 3 lands Nov. 8 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PCs.

The level called "Black Tuesday" picks up the story of Delta, a special ops force deployed to New York City to help combat the Russian advance that has continued since wiping out Washington, D.C., in Modern Warfare 2. "At this point, Russia has invaded and taken control of the air space and has complete control of the harbor," says Michael Condrey, vice president and chief operating officer of Sledgehammer Games, which co-developed the game with Infinity Ward.

Your character is Derek "Frost" Westbrook, a U.S. Army Ranger and a Staff Sergeant in Delta. The action begins ominously when the Humvee he is in gets hit and Frost must extract himself. That done, Frost and Delta squad press forward through Manhattan to Wall Street, led by "Sandman," a Master Sergeant who "is sort of your Captain Price," says Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling.

The fighting goes to the floor of the Manhattan Stock Exchange where a rooftop-based radar jamming tower must be destroyed. "Taking that down is the first step in clearing airspace to allow the U.S. to begin to push Russia out," says Mark Rubin of Infinity Ward, the game's executive producer.

A new addition to the franchise is the dual scope for the M4 assault weapon, which allows for close combat and distance targetting on a single weapon. "As the situation changes or environment changes you can flip it up on the fly" by hiting left on D-pad on the Xbox 360 controller, Bowling says.

Fans of the series will also be rewarded with wielding an XM25 air burst grenade launcher, an experimental weapon being used in Afghanistan and costs about $1.5 million each. Delta is also armed with the latest nine-bang incendiary device. "That's most likely what (the assault team) carried into" Pakistan to capture Osama bin Laden, says Condrey, who previously helped develop Dead Space at Visceral Games.

Once the tower is brought down, Delta climbs aboard a chopper that is pursued in an aerial battle amongs the skyscapers. It's a more claustrophobic gun battle than the series' previous helicopter clashes and, despite a close call, the mission is a success. "One of the things we are trying to capture in that first scene is just the epic scale of urban warfare in an environment you haven't really seen before," Condrey says. "It is epic adventure action on a level that we haven't seen on this scale before. It starts at the ground level of Manhattan and it ends in the sky. You really get to see all of Manhattan."

The other action previewed takes place in London with the player taking the role of British SAS (Special Air Service) operators, which have appeared in both previous Modern Warfare games. "The SAS is a very different type of unit than Delta force in just the way they operate," Bowling says. "They have intelligence that has piqued the interest of the SAS that has come into the port of London that they want to just get eyes on. It's purely recon: let's figure out what this is and why it's here."

After dispensing with a smattering of surrounding protective forces, the squad gets to the particular box truck in question. When they open it, there's nothing inside. Suddenly, a new wave of attackers assaults them. The player must push them back toward a Metro subway station. As the enemies commandeer a subway train, your team hops into subway maintenance trucks and gives chase in the tunnel.

The moving gun battle results in a Mission Impossible-styled chase and crash with your truck struggling to avoid the careening train cars -- as seen in the trailer that hit the Net and NBA broadcasts earlier this week. "It's really a different feel of gameplay than we usually have were you are usually pushing through bad guys who are looking to stop you," Rubin says.

Another note to hard-core fans, he says, is that the SAS will be carrying MP5 submachine guns, a weapon from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare that was cut from Modern Warfare 2. "That was a huge fan favorite in the game," Rubin says.

Many fans have wondered what effect the dismissal of Infinity Ward co-founders Jason West and Vince Zampella would have on the game's development. (See Game Hunters' past coverage of the rift and subsequent legal battle between Activision and the studio co-founders.)

Joining forces with Sledgehammer felt natural, Bowling says. "Being two studios with a similar attitude but from different perspectives allowed us to push each other," he says. "That's really where this game comes from."

From the Wall Street Journal ('Call of Duty' Sets Sights on a Fee Read more: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304563104576355310423496054.html#i xzz1NtPt2Qv6):


Consumers are used to paying $60 each for videogames that run on consoles like the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Now the publisher behind the industry's biggest videogame franchise— "Call of Duty"—is about to find out whether it can get them to pay a monthly bill, too.

Activision Blizzard Inc. plans to launch an online service called Call of Duty Elite this fall that will work with the next major edition of the game, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3," and future installments of the hyper-realistic combat-simulation game. In a move industry executives describe as a first, Activision plans to charge a monthly subscription fee for the service, which will provide extra content that isn't offered on game discs sold in stores, including downloadable map packs that give players new "Call of Duty" levels to play.

Activision executives said they haven't yet figured out how much to charge for the service, but they expect the cost to be less than fees for comparable online-entertainment services, such as a $7.99-a-month Netflix Inc. movie subscription.

Portions of the service will be free, including features inspired by Facebook Inc. that will let "Call of Duty" players meet for online gun battles with others who share various affiliations and interests.

Another feature of the service will give "Call of Duty" players tools, modeled on those from stock-trading websites, to analyze their performance within the game, gauging factors such as which weapons have been most successful for them in killing enemies.
The plan—which comes a week ahead of the videogame industry's big E3 trade show in Los Angeles—is a potentially risky bet by Activision that it can further milk profits from consumers, who could feel the $60 they spend on "Call of Duty" in stores is enough. Charging a monthly subscription fee is more common for multiplayer games that run on personal computers. The most successful of those is "World of Warcraft," a fantasy game from Activision's Blizzard division that has over 11 million subscribers, who typically pay $15 a month for the service.

So begins the fall of Activision and Call of Duty. Everyone knew it would happen eventually. Activation just has bad timing. While Call of Duty still sets records, the fact is, a lot of gamers are getting CoD fatigue and starting to look elsewhere for their FPS fix (Battlefield anyone?) Now that Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk are dead, once CoD is milked to powder form, Activision is going to need that Bungie joint to keep themselves swimming in cash.

It may seem that way, but it's truly not:

Most played 360 titles last week (http://majornelson.com/2011/05/25/live-activity-for-week-of-may-16/)

It's not just last week, either. It's been like that pretty much since Black Ops released. It's an uber popular series that I don't see going away for a very long time because it's a one of a kind game. It's pretty much on the same level as Angry Birds...it's something you can pick up and play and it's the "cool" thing to do nowadays and talk about with friends. It's a very casual shooter, so it only lasts me about a month(unless it's COD4...which I still occasionally play), but I can still admit that I can have fun with it.

If they bring back the nuke, I'll be thrilled. I played MW2 for a solid 3 months every day with friends just competing to see who would be able to get the most nukes. I stopped keeping track about about 30 I believe, one friend had around 25 and wasn't all that far behind me, while I never saw the other friend get one but he claims he did. :D

Playing basically any game mode other than Team Deathmatch on Rust was an easy nuke. I guarantee you half my nuke launches were on that map and I had the perfect strategy for it. If I still had the game, I'd definitely be sitting in Rust all day trying to get my nuke still.

It's popular now because it's $60. It won't be as popular with a $5 monthly tag on top of the $60. Plus, like the Wii, it's impossible to sustain this upward momentum forever. I can't see it become MORE popular then it is. It has to have peaked. It's more like to level off then increase in sales and it's more likely to decline then level off with annual installments.

The fee isn't required, nor do you gain any particular advantage if you do decide to purchase the optional subscription. As for hitting it's peak, I sincerely doubt it. I have absolutely no doubt MW3 is going to shatter just about every video games sales record when it releases this November. I'd say it's a very, very safe bet at the very least.

Let's say MW3 does break every record. Will Black Ops 2 or World at War 2 or whatever next year's game is break this year's record? It can only go up for so long. It's going to come down. It has too. Call of Duty is closer to it's peak then it has room for growth.

And sure enough, I'm sure the service won't be mandatory but I bet Activision is going to do all they can to get you on board. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave subscribers dedicated servers and make the non-subscribers play P2P. Activision knows that at $5 a month, that's an extra $60 out of you for a year of service. That's $30 more then the standard $60 + $30 they've been doing (2 $15 map packs). Multiply that extra $60 for the service by a million or 2 and you have yourself a nice piece of easy coin in the bank.

I still say it's the beginning of the end.

They would never do that and they'd be completely moronic if they did. If they did such a setup, they'd be cutting their fan base into sections. P2P cannot mix with dedicated servers, so you'd only be able to play with the people who had the service or vice versa. They said the features would be purely cosmetic and not game altering, so as long as it remains that way, people shouldn't feel pressured into buying.

As for Black Ops 2 or whatever, it's definitely possible. There's more 360 and PS3 owners coming onto the market every single day, so in theory, all games should be getting a sales boost because of it. But to answer you, no, I don't think people are growing tired of it. I personally feel the series has become stale, but I don't think everyone else has. If they make slight improvements and give them the addictive game play they want, Call of Duty will be around for a very long time. Look at the sales numbers for MW2 and Black Ops - it's just staggering. They could lose half their sales and they would still be one of the highest selling video game franchises.

Calling any of the CoD games "hyper-realistic combat-simulations" makes me laugh SO hard.

Personally, I won't be buying any more CoD games again. I have a PC to play REAL FPSs on now so I don't need to play shitty console ones anymore. Especially shitty console ones that don't have dedicated servers.

Interesting. Not sure what to think really. I keep telling myself that I refuse to pay for another CoD game because of how incredibly bullshit that are compared to real FPSs, but, then the remembrance of how much fun MW2 was when it first came out before all the bullshit started keeps making me hope that there is more to come.

morsdraconis
06-01-2011, 12:57 PM
I'd actually be MORE interested in the game if they didn't add anything that had the destructive killing power of the Gunships from MW2 and Black Ops. Stop making killstreaks ridiculously powerful (and almost unstoppable) and instead, make the killstreaks things that not only help you, but help your team win the match.

That's why I like Domination (and, to a certain extent, Headquarters) better than any of the other game modes. It forces the players to work as a team instead of everyone just running around shooting everyone. It's far more tactical than Free-For-All or just normal boring ass Team Deathmatch.

From Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/07/31/commando-perk-removed-from-modern-warfare-3/):

Commando perk removed from Modern Warfare 3

Love it or hate it, Modern Warfare 2's ninja-inducing Commando perk has gone the way of the dodo, and will not be flipping out and killing people in Modern Warfare 3. The perk, which allows for furious cursing near instantaneous melee attacks over an extended range, has been removed as part of an overall multiplayer balancing effort, according to a tweet posted by Infinity Ward Creative Strategist Robert Bowling.

At the moment, it is unknown whether or not Commando's absence will also remove its Pro variant, which negated fall damage and provided a strategic advantage on key maps. It's possible that this enhancement may be reassigned to a new and/or different perk, however it could just have easily been sacrificed in the name of balance. In related news, replacement controller sales are expected to drop by a hundred billion percent.

If they'd have actual fuckin' servers for their games instead of having shitty US internet peer to peer hosting, it wouldn't be a problem to begin with.

Nothing is more frustrating than to shoot someone 6 times (and the game, on your end, show them being shot 6 times) only to die and their end only show you shot them twice. Commando wasn't bad. That bullshit is bad.

Once again, Infinity Ward is putting band-aids on a gaping fuckin' hole that is their multiplayer experience ever sense they decided that they just weren't making enough money so they'd stop using servers for their multiplayer and make even MORE money.

Probably, but it's still Modern Warfare. I have way over 50,000 combined kills between COD4 and MW2 even though I wasn't a huge fan of MW2. I like it a lot more than I do the Call of Duty games that Treyarch puts out and other than BF3, there's no shooters coming out the rest of the year that I'm even remotely interested in. At least I can't think of any other ones.

Not in Call of Duty. Quick scoping is so effective you can run around with a sniper rifle all you want. It will encourage moving, though, so that's probably the mode I'll play the majority of the time.

It's really dumb. They need to balance it by making it where the sniper rifles don't do anywhere close to as much damage up close. You really don't even have to be halfway good. I've done the bullshit too and I SUCK with sniper rifles.

Actually, looking at this video, I don't see that killstreak on there at all. Might be one of those Care Package only killstreaks or something, in which case, I'm ok with it.

Of course, also looking at this video below, they brought back the god damn AC130 and it looks like the Care Package is an Assault package killstreak instead of a Support package pointstreak. That's kinda lame.

K-Mart accidentally sold MW3 early, one went on eBay for way too much. (http://www.geek.com/articles/games/modern-warfare-3-sells-for-1725-on-ebay-4-days-before-release-2011114/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter)

Either the price was hiked up by someone not intending to pay, or they just have too much money on their hands. Plus, if you go on XBL early with MW3, you could get banned. Which is a shame considering a retail store released it early.

I don't know. It's pretty much always been an unwritten rule of not including kids in a situation where you'd be able to kill them in a video game (thus the reason why Oblivion and, most likely, Skyrim won't have kids in the world, or they'll prevent you from killing them somehow like in Fallout 3).

Neither were all that disturbing. This stuff happens in real life, so it's hard to be truly disturbed by it or "No Russian".

Looks like the nuke is back! You do not have to equip it as a killstreak, it just unlocks once you get 25 kills in a row. The only difference is that while it does kill everyone, it does not end the game - it allows everyone to respawn. Fucking sweet. I loved the nuke in MW2 so much that I played it well into February SOLELY going after nukes.

I loved the nuke in MW2 so much that I played it well into February SOLELY going after nukes.

That was always something I hated in MW2. If you had someone camping somewhere that was difficult to get to without dying, or you had a group working together, there were many times the game would only be a couple minutes old and it was already ending because of a nuke. It was like "thanks for wasting my time douchebag". Taking away the "nukes end the game" is awesome. Finally those that camp and rely on cheap shit to get their nukes that they would never get legitimately, will finally not ruin random games for everyone.

I never got nuked. When I saw someone at more than 15 kills in a row, my only mission became hunting their ass down. There were several times where someone almost got one on me, but I never got nuked. On the other hand, I probably launched over 100 - 25+ of which were on Rust. :D

Reading more into it, most people think the nuke will only be available on private games and not during matchmaking, but it hasn't been confirmed. Either way, it's 25 GUN kills in a row - killstreaks do not count.

If I had the nuke on i would have gotten one with just C4 kills. the best part i still kept a 1/1 kdr just playing with a riot shield.

This is the first time I haven't bought the new COD right away since I got my 360. I bought COD: WaW within a day or two after getting my 360 for Christmas, then bought MW2 and Black Ops on release day. This, it can wait.

This seems to be the most logical review I have seen on Metacritic....


It seems silly to me that people would bash this game based solely on its similarity to its predecessors. The reason you were so excited for this game was the fact that the previous iterations were so good! The creators have found a recipe that works, and rather than tearing it down or making large adjustments, they have added to its successful already model. It is similar to the first two titles because they would be foolish to ruin a good thing by trying to reinvent the wheel (see: Madden). The natural instinct is to compare this game to Battlefield 3 (due to similarity in game and release time) and I will be one to do so positively. My roommate plays Bf3 on the PC, and, it's true, it is an incredibly polished gem. On the PS3, though, it is slow (30fps), occasionally grainy, and the Frostbite 2 does not seem nearly as smart. MW3, on the other hand, is in its wheelhouse on PS3 with quick refresh, better blended high and lowlights, and better perspective in terms of scope. I own both and will play both, but MW3 will get the nod from me. I'm reading a lot of reviews that fall prey to failed expectations, not failure to deliver a great game. Rather than whining about it, stop back over by your local GameStop and trade it in for Heavy Rain or Arkham City. You'll end up happier and I won't have to listen to your ill-conceived disappointment on PSN.

My guess is all those people who are k/d whores aren't able to right off the bat and are whining about it :D

No, my guess is people are tired of getting fed the same shit for three years in a row, while having to shell out $60 for it when it's the exact same game, cause it really is the exact same game. It looks the same. It sounds the same and they didn't develop one new original killstreak (their pride and joy of the series) for the game. But, of course, that's how I felt about Black Ops, MW2, and WaW. It's all the same, yet 30 million people still buy the shit.

Yeah, I don't really care what other people say either. This is the best Call of Duty since COD4 and it's not even close. I'm having an absolute blast so far. The game came with 16 maps(most games come with 8-10), a full Spec Ops co-op mode, and a 7 or 8 hour campaign that will be at least enjoyable for one playthrough, so it's more than worth the money in my eyes.

I REALLY started out badly. I don't know what it is with Call of Duty games, but my first 5 or 6 games on a new COD game are always atrocious. I've been using the SCAR so far with a good amount of success, so I'll probably stick with that for awhile. The gun battles feel a LOT better and the killstreaks were toned down a good bit, so it feels a lot like COD4 so far and I'm really enjoying it.

Modern Warfare 3 pre-orders near 9 million, analyst says... (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/08/modern-warfare-3-pre-orders-near-9-million-analyst-says/)


According to Lazard Capital Markets' Atul Bagga, as reported by GameSpot, pre-orders for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 were nearly three times that of Battlefield 3, which pegs Activision's shooter at around 9 million pre-orders. The estimate puts Modern Warfare 3 pre-orders roughly 70 percent ahead of those for Modern Warfare 2 and 55 percent beyond Call of Duty: Black Ops. Furthermore, the analyst expects Modern Warfare 3 to move a full 20 million copies by the end of the year.

Those aren't exactly outlandish estimates, given the success of the franchise. Perhaps a more interesting study would be to gauge how many people are skipping work to play. Frankly, with Skyrim launching later this week, we fear worldwide productivity will flatline forever.

Activision: Call of Duty Elite capacity increasing to serve user rush... (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/08/activision-call-of-duty-elite-capacity-increasing-to-serve-user/)


Wouldn't you know it? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and its premium "Elite" service are damned popular. And somehow, much like EA with every Battlefield ever, Activision has been caught unawares by just how popular it is, warning potential users that "Registration requests for our new live service Call of Duty Elite are exceeding even our most optimistic expectations, which is creating a bottleneck and some players have not been able to register."

Beachhead studio head Chacko Sonny (writing from the beach, we hope, for symmetry's sake) assured players in this status message that their "gameplay data is safe" and will be right there when they finally manage to get signed up for Elite. Activision and Beachhead are working "around the clock" to increase Elite capacity. Of course, when more people get in, it'll stop being elite. More like Call of Duty Inclusive.

Thing is I never played COD before MW2. I wasn't into shooters really. I'd get the game (Ghost Recon) beat the campaign then take the game back. MW2 was the first shooter I played online.

Good, that's nice of them. I'm up to level 51 and haven't really found a gun I love. I know shotguns are borderline useless and so are assault rifles. The most immediate success is going to be found running around with an SMG while just spraying the hell out of people. The Type 95, which is a 3 round burst assault rifle, is just fucking straight up nasty when you have rapid fire on it. I have it up to weapon level 30 which is just one short from maxing it out and getting gold camo. I've been using the ACR and the PP90M1 as of late, though.

I don't use the pistol all that much when playing Reach, but while playing Reach on Monday and Tuesday, before it got shelved for my new games, I used the pistol a lot in some games and racked up maybe 50 kills over a period of two hours or so between both nights. So the challenges are nice. Gets me to use weapons I don't normally use and play game modes I don't normally play.

I was playing last night and got 5 payback kills within 8 seconds of spawning in. It also works the other way. I kill someone and then a few seconds later im getting shot in the back from the guy I just killed. I dont get why they didnt keep the spawn system from MW2. I never got spawn trapped and when it did start to happen or people got within a certain vicintiy of the spawn you would switch spawn points.

The lag compensation is just ridiculous, the maps are some of the worst I've seen in an online game, and it's just in general, boring as shit. I mean, what the hell have they been doing for two years? It's the same exact feeling I got playing Madden and NCAA the past several years, but actually worse. They've had two years and only minimal improvements have been made and virtually zero in areas that actually needed improved.

I guess that truly shows what a lack of competition does. NCAA and Madden literally have zero competition, so they've been slacking for years. Call of Duty has so little competition that it might as well have none. BF is starting to step up and attract players, so maybe that will get Activision off their asses.

On 360, MW3, Black Ops, and MW2 are still 3 of the top 4 most played titles, with MW3 being 1, Black Ops being 2, Battlefield 3 being 3, and MW2 being #4. They're ahead of great(and way better) games like Skyrim, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Gears of War 3, etc...

It is ridiculous. If they would've just fixed the lag/host advantage and not given us a completely fucked spawn system, I would've been fine with it. I can deal with shit maps, but I definitely can't deal with the game spawning someone behind me and basically fucking me over. It's stupid, unfair, and just straight up bullshit.

I also read a rumor today that said the first map pack wont release until March 1 and will only include 4 maps from MW1 and MW2. If they wait that long to release maps, I don't care if I do have Elite, this shit will most assuredly be gone. The fact that I've managed to play it long enough to get to prestige 1 level 55 already is a miracle and that's only two weeks. Another 4 months on these garbage maps isn't going to work.

For the record, MW2 was definitely flawed, but I had WAY more fun on that game than what I've had on MW3. I still maintain that COD4 was not only the pinnacle of the Call of Duty series, but the pinnacle of online shooters this generation. Killzone 2 and Resistance Fall of Man are literally the ONLY shooters I've enjoyed online this generation up until the point in which I stopped playing.

i wonder what people think when they look at my kdr compared to my win/loss ratio. i am rocking a 0.75 kdr but over a 90% win/loss. I had people asking me wtf i was doing. i rocked a riot shield with overkill. my other weapon was a sniper rifle and i went 4 kills 18 assists and 2 deaths. all 4 kills were no scoped sniper kills. people were yelling at me in the lobby while my party was laughing its ass off. i so enjoy being a moron but the funny part is that while i dont get many kills i average 8 assists per game. thats at least 8 kills my guys get because of my moronicness.

i played some snd the other night, people didnt know what to do when they saw a guy with a riot shield. and i have the funniest kill the other night. playing snd on dome, i was last alive, i pulled out my fng's and shot a barrel a few times trying to draw guys in. it worked like a charm and when 2 guys came into the room the barrel blew up and killed them both and we won. nothing funnier than getting bitched out and called a try hard because your wearing a riot shield :D

Never mind him, that just proves how fucking brutally bad the spawn system is. Infinity Ward and Activision should absolutely be ashamed of themselves. They need to go to a studio like Guerrilla Games, Naughty Dog, or Epic Games and learn how to develop games.

That's not really saying anything. Every Call of Duty since COD4 has been garbage, although none of them have been as bad as MW3. It's just a boatload of all kinds of issues that really isn't even worth dealing with, hence why I haven't touched it for 2 or 3 weeks. Fingers crossed the game Respawn Entertainment is working on will put Call of Duty out of business permanently or until they learn they can't continually fuck over their fan base.

See Beatn your one of those guys I make fun of on the game. You take it too seriously. every game is gonna be flawed, i have played the shit out of it and there isnt 2 games that go by that i am not laughing about something, or at someone. Esp when they get so mad. The best part is I got called a ****** striker and tac insert *** last night. Its funny that when you kill someone that gun or whatever becomes a douche or ***. I love the fact that I have a 91% win/loss record and a 0.71 kdr. and that has gone up from 0.59 since xmas nubs.

and yeah JB we are always full it seems. theres been a few times where they didnt have room for me.

And if you wonder what it is like to play against someone like me, a buddy sent me this saying there is a 5 y/o version of me.

Every game is flawed, but very few are as flawed as recent Call of Duty games. Look at Gears of War 3. The spawn system is damn near perfect, the connection quality is smooth as hell 99.99% of the time, and everything is balanced. Compare that to Call of Duty, a game that rakes in way more money than Gears does, and they can't even fucking provide a smooth online experience with a working spawn system. It's a joke.

I'm not even going to mention the hilariously bad map design. It's ALMOST as bad as the maps in SOCOM 4 which is really saying something with how shitty those were. MW3 is just plain bad for ANYONE that plays it competitively. I play single player games for fun. I play online games for the competitiveness of it and when it comes to competitiveness and MW3, I might as well not even(and I don't) waste my time.

It is easy to find flaws in every game. I thought NBA2K11 was a great game...one of the best I've played..but it had flaws. I love this version of Madden but it has flaws. Honestly if someone doesn't a flaw in a game then there is a problem or not many people are playing it to begin with.

Well for ANY respawn game how can you play that as a competitive game? I guess im just too old to see it. I only played Socom serious. Anything that is a respawn game that feeds the need for an energy drink to play or meth then I dont see the point. I play it because of my buddies on there and to piss people off. Nothing is funnier than people cussing me for killing them with a shotgun or a riot shield. I have a couple guys i play with that take it seriously, to me id rather make people laugh and make myself laugh while i play. I am too old to even care how good i do. but its even better when the other team talks shit and then i tell them they got beat by a guy with a 0.7 kdr.

That's me. If there's nights where I feel like just fucking around, I use only my riot shield and shotgun classes, and go around fucking with the enemy team. They get pissed off and start cussing me out, and I keep laughing harder and harder and more and more the more pissed off the get. :D My K/D, I couldn't give any less of a damn about, I play just to have some fun with friends and occasionally dick around with the other people in the game/lobby.

I play because it's addictive and fun. Im not the best at it, most games I have much more deaths than kills.

The only game I take competitive is Madden. And that's because I play in leagues in a sim community.

Love playing COD with my friends though, that's what got me hooked.

MW2 had many of the same flaws that MW3 has, but MW2 had enjoyable maps and a decent spawn system. MW3 had complete shit maps(except for Dome) and one of the worst spawn systems I've ever seen(right up there with BF3).

Any game where you're playing against another human player is a competitive game. If I'm not going to play competitively, I usually wont even play the game online. The joke with MW3 is that any scrub can kill someone good because of all the bullshit with the horrid spawn system, the lag compensation, the massive amount of aim assist(which is higher than previous Call of Duty games), and everything else wrong with it. It's just not worth the headache to me when I can pop in Gears 3 and have a competitive AND fun experience.

I wonder if he's talking about deathmatch, you get a random spawn point there. I rarely play deathmatch though. I did it to get my sniper kills for the assignment though. That was like shooting fish in a barrel, and I suck at sniping.

I'm sure he is, though the spawn system of spawning on a buddy can create some REALLY easy kill opportunities as well.

On Team Deathmatch, it'll literally spawn you 6 inches away from an enemy member and since you don't have spawn invincibility, someone's going to get a bullshit death. Whenever I spawn to start a round, I always sit still because I know within the first 3 or so seconds, an enemy is going to run right by me because it spawned him there. It's ridiculously bad.

SOCOM 2, Killzone 2, Resistance: Fall of Man, and Gears of War 3 are all very near and dear to my heart. I wasn't that old when I played S2 online, so I can't speak for balance, but KZ2 and Gears 3 all have great spawn systems, interesting and balanced maps, balanced weapons, a "skill" factor, and they are genuinely fun to play. There's others I've enjoyed but I wouldn't consider perfect.

Recent shooters, aside from Gears 3, have all pretty much sucked, IMO. I do get a good bit of enjoyment out of BF3, so that would be the lone exception.

I even had fun on Confrontation despite all the issues it had at launch. SOCOM 4, Killzone 3, Resistance 2 & 3, World at War, MW2, Black Ops, MW3, and most others haven't done it for me.
