MW3 video details weapon progression and proficiencies

“Sometimes, we just want a prettier, tighter, more bug free version…”

+1

“We don’t want them to reinvent it, because the design works. More maps, more guns, more tweaks however, are perfectly welcome.”

This, too.

@50, funny you say that. I recently bought BF3 and though I enjoy it, there are things about it that make me want to punch babies.

Compared to what they did to Battlefield, MW3 has hardly been touched. They took most of what made Battlefield, Battlefield and took a big steaming dump on it.

Again, I go back to the film producer metaphor. They get something like Superman and they start changing so many things about it that it isn’t really Superman anymore and they might as well have just made something new from scratch without ruining the Superman name.

That’s what Dice and EA have done with BF3. They wanted a competitor to Modern Warfare and they put the name Battlefield on it to cash in on the trademark, but it isn’t a successor to BF2 at all. MW3 is at least mostly still intact.

@GIGA…. Dude you just broke my heart a little

No RPD, but they keep L86 LSW? QQ

Still the Type 95 assualt rifle looks pretty lethal, as does the MK46 Light Machine Gun…

*Keeps the faith*

@ 50

dont get me wrong i used to be a huge Cod fan but Black Ops killed it for me.

I have no problem with a game being generally the same like Counter Strike because thats its style but i do have a problem when something like Cod decides to release itself year in year out making no true progressions but rather slapping on a new lick of paint.

Games are expensive nowadays and ones as mainstream as Cod dont go down in price for a long time. Yet still they stick to this idea of tweaking rather than expanding when u can see they are looking to expand and this is what annoys me and in my opinion is plain wrong.

Cod is no longer a game, its a business model.

@54

So vote with your wallet.

Where’s the problem?

@54, There’s nothing wrong with a new coat of paint as long as what was already there is solid as hell. Like Scotty said, “The more you overtake the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain”.

You know i’m not a fan of sports games… But people buy them year in year out. Same game with a couple of tweaks, maybe a lick of paint and thats all CoD/BF is.

Their a Military Sport Sim, where the objective is to shoot people… Lots of people. Why the big rumpus when it fails to reinvent the wheel?

I LIKE it the way it is thanks. You don’t? Move on. But don’t act all betrayed just cuz YOUR tastes have changed.

DarkElfa yeah the framework for the multiplayer is solid but it lacks substance now and has become repetitive and too similar to what we have played before.

I just dont see the value in buying the pretty much same game each year. I just feel it should take the battlefield route and release a new edition when its actually made improvements to the plumbing rather than having to come back each year and work on it. This way the end product will be better hands down.

I don’t see any reason not to have your cake and eat it too. There’s plenty of room for another franchise. I felt pretty numbed by BC2, it was a decent sideshow, but ultimately it didn’t have it where it counts.

Based on what I’ve tried in the BF3 beta, and especially the things that DICE have “borrowed” from CoD, I’d say they’re bringing the best game they’ve done in years, and I would have preordered it if EA hadn’t taken it off Steam. I’ll still buy it if they put it out.

@54 Well I never said I liked the yearly iteration business. Buying Black Ops has pretty much convinced me that Treyarch is useless, and I don’t think even a cold war setting will be enough to sucker me in next year.

Still, both studios get two years to put out their next iteration, and so far I haven’t been disappointed with the Infinity Ward games. This time they’re missing Zampella and West, and generally making some changes that I’m pretty skeptical about, but I’m still not panicking just yet. And that video made me feel a lot more optimistic about it.

Maybe Activision should just bite the bullet and develop a Modern Warfare MMO that they can add maps onto and continually add more weapons and upgrade the graphics.

I think I played this game two years ago

@DarkElfa, I want to disagree, as i hate MMO’s… But maybe the CoD Elite is Acti’s way of testing the water. To see just how many players will sign up to a subscription CoD…

Wow what an improvement… I almost didn’t recognize the game…

Now really, I love the COD serious but it seems they are running out of ideas

Well, at one point he claimed he has a driver’s license from what I recall. People in their 20s who have girlfriends and life don’t entertain themselves with comment sections and /or Blops 24/7. Simple as that. . Come to think of it, people don’t spend that much time on PC unless they work on it.

Ask yourself, keeping in mind how much time he spent in these comment sections that summer, would it be even possible? And that is if and only if he didn’t play anything else. Looking at their Kotaku, Gametrailers and Youtube accounts, as well as a russian board one, and their earlier posts which were downright nuts it’s even more telling.. A person who has a life doesn’t spend time in comment sections arguing about it with strangers, or seek for strangers to talk to.

It’s a trap.

To be fair, you are all just arguing personal taste.

For me, I’m sick and tired of the same graphics year in year out, and having to pay 80 dollars for it (Hello Sweden!).

I’d rather go with BF3, which I have done, which has superior graphics and enjoyable, balanced, multiplayer.
