Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

I know what you mean that it's getting repetitive now. Call of Duty used to be released sparingly until suddenly, 3 comes out in a space of a couple of years. Maybe it's time to call it quits.

Yheah right they have already confirmed that the backbone of the game will be on MW2's current engine. So I'm sure that means no dedis (but on the plus side hit detection should be much better than that of Black Ops).
 
Hoorah for it being on the backbone of the MW2 engine.

TBF, it's a good engine, and with some tweaks it could be very good.

Fingers crossed it delivers.
 
Yaaay welcome back to quick scoping, stacking killstreaks, getting shot round corners, awful weapons balance and deserting a game after release.

Can't wait!
 
They make so much money from each release every year that they don't need to put in dedicated servers and the only way they will even consider it is if they charged us for using the servers.

TBH, the way the last games have been (and thanks in no small part to Virgin Media for dry-bum ****ing connections), I would actually consider a nominal charge to have dedicated servers.

The fact they make so much money is the reason why they should give us servers.
Thanks for the $3billion. Here's some servers to make the game play better :p

Did they not just release a patch for MW2?

Oh well done to them for fixing an issue after months. Just like all the other months it took them to fix issues or ones they stopped even caring about like the Quick Scoping.

Or the complete abandoning of the best thing about MW2, Spec Ops.

I actually can stomach MW2 again on barebones, it's actually pretty good. Yet few people play it because of the complete noob nature of camping up killstreaks and watching them stack.

The best thing they could add is crysis 2's system that to add to a killsteak you have to pick up the dog tag. Sure you can camp and snipe people but you aint getting 15 kills killing from afar without moving if you don't pick up the tag.

Spec ops type gameplay or co-op features might interest me in a future release but MP gameplay that is P2P in a shooter has had it's day in 1999. After playing games on dedicated servers I can't be bothered fighting it anymore.
 
MW2 still plays way way better than Black Ops for me. Getting shot round corners happens far more often in Black Ops and Bad Company 2 in my experience. This isn't a true IW title and it seems like without a true sense of direction they've decided to ape a game which Bowling has a hard on for.

Unless you equip retriever with Crysis 2 ;) no need to pick up those dog tags!

Though I do agree it was a good system, I actually felt Crysis 2 MP was far superior to that of any of the CoD games and even Halo...

I didn't bother with BlOps and I doubt i'll bother with this - SP is only challenging on Vet and only because of constant respawning enemies and grenade spamming - and the MP is full of idiots and imo; not very engaging/good - been the same formula for a couple years now

The engine has dedicated server support, it was just partially stripped out/disabled in the final branch - infact the game works by running a listen server on one of the players as the host.

Nothing wrong with the engine IMO, aslong as they give the renderer another lick of paint, throw in some more advanced shaders to keep things looking nice, the netcode is excellent, performance is great, runs very smooth and stable overall.
 
I despair that some of you are getting excited about MW3.

The majority of the Infinity Ward that was responsible for CoD4 (and MW2) have left. This is just Activision coasting on the momentum of a good game that they released a few years ago.

If you buy it you're basically just propagating the crap culture of churning out endless sequels for a once decent game instead of allowing developers to go and do something creative.

Pretty much this for me.

I think I actually offended someone the other night when I said I prefer MW2 to Black ops because of the better maps, a better spawn system and much better hit detection. He couldn't seem to accept the fact that I didn't like Black ops that much so he came up with lots of reasons why I didn't like it all of which were complete crap.

I explained to him that it was the crappy hit detection, spawns and the crappy maps but he still just couldn't seem to understand... I gave up in the end :o
