Modern Warfare 3 Announcement Tonight?
- Thread starter Dark Sun
- Start date
I don't see many people who are actually good at the game complaining about it...
I was a decent player in MW and MW2 hasn't changed enough to change it so you can put your allusions back in your arse TBH.
I own Xbox 360 and spent some time with PS3 as well. I don't hate any consoles and see the market for every platform but can't understand why people let Activision screw them over and sell yesterday's dinner on a new plate every day.
BF3 will just be like BC2... After all, they're the same engine, just that BF3 will be the improved 2.0!
Gameplay will be no different to the original Battlefields...
IT'S A NEW ENGINE
It's frostbite 2 not 2.0

It's frostbite 2 not 2.0
Don't even bother.
So let me guess, BF3 will be the one that changes things around?
Not for me
I can stomach BF due the large scale carnage and the spectacle of it all, but put it in the same class as CoD.

So no news yet?
It just got GOTY.
Have you ever seen the film Avalon?
CoD has a dedicated fanbase mostly consisting of people who had never played any other FPS up until MW (if that).
CoD has always been a good series in my eyes, but of late Activision have lost the plot and decided to focus on profit over produce.
Dont get me wrong, I loved MW2 and BLOP's is still a good game, unfortunately not for the PC.
This MW3 announcement is blatantly in response to BF3 and should be treated as such. They didnt even have a single cut scene, so it goes to show that development was probably not even into the pre-alpha stages.
Activision have been focusing on building crappy map packs.
Now ive been around long enough to have seen many many games get the favour of the crowd mentality and to me a new super awesome FPS is just another game in a long line.
It could be good, I hope it is good, but be honest regardless of how much you like the game, this series has been falling up it's own backside. Charging you £20 for a small handful of maps is not exactly what I would call consumer friendly.
The facts are these:
So here we are now, talking up a game is only going to make it cost you more in the future. If you want an amazing game then dont order it until it is out!

The facts are these:
- For a PC CoD of late is not a well supported game.
- Activision are clearly milking this game to cash as much out of it at the clear expense of the consumer (I personally hate this).
- Currently BF3 looks like a better game than Black Ops and MW3 (It might not be and reserve judgement to decide), but just look at that 12 min video compared to BLOPs or the lack of video for MW3.
- We no next to nothing about MW3 right now
So here we are now, talking up a game is only going to make it cost you more in the future. If you want an amazing game then dont order it until it is out!

Like most of the people in the "Boycott L4D2" Steam group, who on the day of release, were all playing L4D2
I enjoy the CoD series, but only pick them up from the bargain bin these days.

Here's some more facts for you, every game maker wants your money, they create games, good and bad, to get your cash, who the hell cares.
As for the ridiculousness of your post, COD fans are mostly people who have never played an FPS before, yet you say COD used to be good? Basically that just doesn't make sense, loyal fanbase of people that never played another FPS before, because really its crap but those loyal people don't realise how crap it was...... that makes more sense.
COD 1-4 were mostly brilliant games, COD 2 looks NOTHING like COD 4 or black ops or anything else. ITs a modified engine, sure but this isn't a 206 vs a 206 and some **** has put a wing on it, its taking a 206 engine and sticking it in a Ferrari. Its looking for excuses to call it bad. Its not the best looking game ever, most games aren't, its not comparable in any way to COD 2 so stop bringing it up people, its a VERY weak argument for why a game is bad. Especially as MW2 looked pretty amazing, MW2 looks more than fine, Blackops looks horrible and feels "wrong" somehow, thats that particular company being an inept bunch of morons as opposed to the engine sucking.
COD 4 was, great, epic to play through story, well thought out, good pacing, good actiong, good feel, good characters, good everything. MW2 was decent enough, more rehashed old scenes done prettier than new content, but it was fun enough to play, the game inbetween shouldn't be mentioned, utter tripe and Black Ops is a bit of a joke. Story, action, pacing, graphics somehow seem worse than previously, quality is way down. Its a bad game, so what, anyone familiar with COD should realise the "inbetween" games are utter rubbish.
The next one looks set to be done by a different company, they've neither proven themselves great, or rubbish yet.
Yes, it would be great if like COD 1/2/uo/4 each title we get was epic, brilliant, insanely fun to play and with awesome MP to boot, if not, thats life.
MW3 might be brilliant and you'll look like idiots for trashing it, or it might be a joke.

Ha ha!
Well I for one certainly WON'T be pre-ordering any CoD games ever again and I'll only buy a new one if it's dropped in price and/or it has had decent IMPARTIAL reviews. Some of the PC reviews of BO were laughable.
