this has to be made or break time right? they cant really release another game that plays exactly the same as all the others?
I hope they deliver, as COD4 was amazing.
Everything since has been awful steps back imo.
I used to swear by COD, now im a newly converted BF supporter.
If they dont deliver an absolute golden genration COD, then BF3 is going to continue Dice's and EA slow march forward, and Activision slow slip backwards.
November 8th seems to be the release date
Retailers that we spoke with confirm that they are now officially accepting pre-orders for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 which has a scheduled release date of November 8th.
According to those in the retail trenches, they are starting by accepting pre-orders for the standard edition of the game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. These friends, however, whisper to us with a wink and a nod that they expect at least one special edition version of the game to be part of the release plan, if not two special edition versions, according to what they are hearing from distribution sources.
All that is really left is for Activision to officially confirm the November 8th release date and announce the special edition version(s) of the game beyond the standard edition. It is pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point that once Activision confirms November 8th as their release date, Electronic Arts will then announce the release date for Battlefield 3, which is something a lot of people are looking forward to.

Pretty much expecting this game to be a failure due to 2 main reasons firstly It's being co-developed by 3 different companies (IW and sledgeghammer co-developing singleplayer while raven software do the MP) because infinity ward basically only exists in name now because of the mass exodus to respawn entertainment.
Secondly Battlefield 3 is due for a release at or just before the usual CoD november release date and if the current gameplay videos for BF3 show anything it's that the game is the most graphically advanced FPS there has ever been.
Right...so this is a "new game engine"? It looks nowhere near as good as BF3!
