I've been underwhelmed by each COD game since COD4, so I've learnt not to highly anticipate them.

These are my initial thoughts based on the leaked information:

The campaign story is likely to be as extraordinarily ridiculous and plot-hole ridden as MW2's, making Infinity Ward the Michael Bay of video games. I will cut them some slack for that, though, because FPS games rarely have great plots. The most promising bit of information about the campaign is that it's set in several different locations, which should translate to a wide variety of vibrant multiplayer maps.

The multiplayer maps are supposed to be quite larger, in their attempt to gain the interest of Battlefield fans and retain the interest of COD gamers who may switch to Battlefield. I'm not a fan of large maps for 6v6 gametypes because they slow down the pace and hinder rushing. Other than that, I'm glad they're using Infinity Ward's superior engine and that the beastly MP5 from COD4 is returning.

Do you guys want non-killstreak vehicles like tanks to be featured in MW3? I think they detract from the best aspect of COD; fluid gun fights.

I dont want fucking killstreaks to be tanks and that id rather they just be in spots in the map and you can just get in.

I really hope they dont make the maps bigger, every single large map on previous CoD's imo have been the worst maps. Small maps are always better, so much more action and you get a lot less campers (bar nuketown on black ops what a shitty designed map)
I wouldn't understand them trying to appeal to the Battlefield gamers either, they would lose a lot more CoD fans than they would gain Battlefield fans overall.

I don't want vehicles in the game either it ruins the balance and also makes the shit players look much better than they are. CoD needs to stop trying to appeal to the bad players and focus on making the game more competitive.

Hope they keep the Black ops way of killstreaks though, it's much better when they dont stack, MW2 got stupid sometimes with the amount of air support flying around. Guys used to just get harriers and sit in a corner until they got their chopper gunner it was pointless.

im not gonna ger this. i say that now though but i probably will. they are bringing them out too soon after each other. black ops aint been out that long really. will definatly be getting BF3 because BF is better than COD

**SomeYout** · 14th May '11, 12:33 AM

i feel like saying "I'm not gonna get this" but I probably will so no need to gas.

I agree above about big maps though, battlefield is slightly slower paced with vehicles, more suited to big maps.

Regardless of all of its flaws, and there are a lot of them. It is without doubt a very good, and very polished game. With so much support comes greater criticism even from fanboys, thats what makes games (hopefully) better each time.

That the info that Kotaku gave out wasn't 100% accurate.

A lot of hype & a lot of leaked info on #MW3, some still accurate, some not. To avoid spoiling the experience, I'd wait for the real reveal.

Should get these threads merged tbh

**kyro** · 14th May '11, 09:12 AM

Do you people think there going for a World War 3 story? I mean a lot of MW2 wasn't in major city's and places bar Washington DC off the top of my head. I'm intrigued to see how their 'destruction' is going to work or whether it will just be set pieces like COD has always done.

Agreed. I made this one back in February, made a thread and it turned out to be fake info

**Boris Bowser** · 14th May '11, 10:51 AM

how exactly is Modern Warfare different from the other COD games? (I've only played black ops)

**Pred** · 14th May '11, 10:56 AM

Modern Warfare is exactly that. Although you still get a lot of crossover with weapons and such. You still see guns like the AK47 in every war FPS ever.

Also, I merged Kyro's original MW3 thread so that everything is in this one now. There will be a lot of speculation, news and so on for most of this year so it might as well exist in one place for the time being.

Should bring back Nuke tbh

That was one of the biggest fuck ups of MW2. They should never put a game ender as a killstreak again. It encouraged camping and boosting.

I hope with 3 different developers working on this one there might be some better balancing with the perks, guns, kill streaks etc after how bad some of them were in MW2.

I hope Kill streaks are done like Black Ops too when kills gained from Kill streak rewards don't count towards the next kill streak as everyone in MW2 used Predator, Harriers then chopper gunner.

The nuke was a terrible addition to MW2, especially in objective gametypes, and coupled with boosting. It incentivised people to disregard the objective and undo the efforts of others to win the game. That's a prime example of bullshit.

Sledgehammer Games and the remaining Infinity Ward staff are developing the single-player while Raven Software is developing the multiplayer. I hope Infinity Ward forewarn Raven Software about the backlash they will receive if the multiplayer is unbalanced and contains frustrating, noob-friendly perks.
