****Official Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 thread****

[James J]

i have had 5 hours of this game.

i think the game play is better than black ops, but they are very similar.

the weapons do not do as much damage as mw2. the maps are big. i think they should have included some of the classics maps from mw2.

i can honestly say that i have not been killed by a tube, maybe because the damage impact is low and you can scavenge them.

i have uninstalled mw2 and black ops and will continue to rank up on mw3.

gonna take a while to learn the maps.

Only level I'd genuinely like to see in any new COD game from the previous ones is skidrow from MW2 as that was insanely well made and I never got bored of it. One of the few maps that actually promoted teamwork via camping Theres a little building with 2 floors, with the ground one facing down an alleyway with a window at the end of it and the upstairs covering the courtyard and middle passage. Me and my dad use to routinely set up our camping tents in there and get some ludicrusly high scores due communicating properly over voicecoms. As soon as the other team mates realised, they also joined in at various places in the same area

Never got tubed on BLOPs to be honest and put in a good 180 hours or so into it on multiplayer so tubing died out last year. MW2 was a tube fest sadly, although not to the extent BC2 introduced with the "gustav" launcher, which use to really boil my blood.

I'm in too minds to pick this up or not at the moment. It's really tempting as I enjoy the previous games and sunk a few hundred hours into MW2 and BLOPS, which kinda negates the price of the games when you look at how much enjoyment I got from them.

The massive thing that puts me off is the fact I'll have to get DLC down the line to continue playing the multiplayer properly, as the map rotation on both MW2 and BLOPS favoured the newer levels and kicked none DLC owning players, which was seriously annoying -.-

to rank up, unlock perks, guns etc you need 2 use peer to peer system like consoles. dedicated servers are unranked and need teh server admins consent for teh selection of guns and perks etc to be selectable. i think lol

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH *breathe* That's almost as funny as the ending to this weeks House.

Is using Russian cheap CD-keys ok for steam?

I got mine from Direct2play bit cheaper too and all fine and dandy, you'll have to download the English files aswell of course and I will say that when I bought BO's on a Rusky Steam key, Steam kept on reverting the game files to Russian which I had to patch with the English ones quite a few times.

Got up to 450th overall. will probably be back to 3000th after i sleep. Seen my 1st blatant aimboter too coder121, did not take long!

I like Dome, Hardhat, Village and Mission. The rest of the maps are pretty forgettable.

I'm really struggling to play this on my laptop, it plays MW2 flawlessly, just not MW3?

i7-2640M
525M GPU
8GB RAM

It's almost like it's trying to play it on the discreet chip rather than the GPU. I know it's a 525 but is should still be able to play it fine.

Anyone?

If quick scoping is still in use, don't think I'll play it much tbh.

I asked this earlier, apparently QSing is easier than before and more common because of that reason.

.

I'm sorry to sound like a ****... but this is by far the most stupidest thing i've ever read on PC forums.... Why would you want "classic MW2 maps".... first off there is nothing classic about MW2. 2nd if they put MW2 maps in then the game would be Mw2!!

 

[DirtyJester]

Anyone any hassle with Russian cd keys ? I've sourced some for £18 so just wanted to check first

The weapons doing less damage is a good thing, and big maps basically means less of a cluster ****, and as Goon mentioned, using maps from CoD:MW2 would make this game CoD:MW2.

I would say if you want the game for MP, wait for it to be reduced in price, same as if you primarily want it for SP, if you want both, then buy it now really depending on your budget.

Sorry if this has already been posted but this was an internal memo at HARDOCP

Modern Warefare 3 graphics suck



Oddly childish approach IMO...

If the game is fun and people don't feel jipped then where's the issue? Other than perhaps paying full flesh for a rehashed engine...

BS as well? Read somewhere the FPS is capped?

The MW2 map packs include some classic COD4 maps, except with a graphics upgrade facelift, and they are some of the most popular maps in MW2.

They probably mean the single player.

It is true that there is no point writing a guide to get good performance from MW3 when it is such an undemanding engine.

This, i'm getting 60fps constant on my 5870 with V-Sync on, it's not demanding at all.

 

[Showboat]

I finally got round to playing this for a few mins before i had to go to work.

Have to say i am very disappointed, i think it's a step back from black ops.
Coupled with the fact there was a cheater on the server

I will have a full play around with this later to be sure it sucks ass. Glad i only paid £19 for this!

Anyone else finding the default key configuration ridiculously fiddlely? Can anyone recommend any decent changes?

It's been a while since I gamed on the PC, so I'm rusty. However I am missing the 360 controller at the moment!

 

['Wes]

I am missing the 360 controller at the moment!

Why don't you use one on the PC?

 

[dirtydog]

Anyone else finding the default key configuration ridiculously fiddlely?

Nope (Well I make a couple of minor changes, middle mouse for melee and I prefer E for use) - oh also I use F for flashbangs etc.

Can anyone recommend any decent changes?

Only you can answer that I would say! Change it to what you are happy with?

 

[jrwagh333]

As above, I use middle click for melee and E for use
I also have 2 side buttons on my Razer Deathadder and use the forward click for frag/semtex etc and the back click for flash/concussion etc

 

[LateX'Dog]

SLI doesnt work?

 

[Kanifee]

the one thing i am hating is the blasted 4 keys it takes to have all your killstreak rewards, i use a belking speed pad and have limited buttonige as is, should really have a option to combine to one key like it used to be.

Other than that im liking it a lot, found it hard to settle in to it at first and spotting enemy was a struggle but im getting back into the twitchy play needed for a cod game to compensate for the shocking FOV, really wish they would patch that out but i know there is zero chance of this.

Maps seem varied and you are pretty much forced to play through all game modes to get a good spread of the rotation, really wish they had worked in a server system like cod, hate being connected to a 75+ ping server on my 50MB connection.
