Are you buying MW3

I want to see how many people are going to buy MW3.


Please do not turn this into a flame or bring BF3 into it.

For CoD games, I'll either play CoD4 for multi, or I'll play WaW for zombies (though I haven't recently). Anything since has been somewhat weak.

Edit: I voted No btw

I'll probably end up buying it down the track, as I do so adore BFBC2 so much I still occasionally tune into black ops to play with ballistic knives every now and then. But I'd most likely wait for a good deal which I doubt will happen considering.. its CoD I mean FFS the first MW is still going for $49.00 AUD here in AUS.

I haven't heard, read or seen anything that would lead me to buy this game. Big fat no. Plus, if I am ever in the mood to play CoD (which hasn't happened yet), I'll play MW2, CoD4 or WaW.

No, but only because I haven't played the other two. I can get CS:S if I wanted a generic shooter.

lol.

Incredible that this sells at all on the PC.....

......mind you never underestimate the power of marketing. I bought Black Ops on the power of some inexplicable whim and have sepnt less than an hour with the game. Even though I hated the game, Activision still got my money and i still contributed towards thier mega success.

a year ago i definately would have bought it, but after their last game, no chance :P
I played COD WAW & 4 for hundreds of hours but the last abomination has totally put me off the series.

BF3 FTW

(oh and Skyrim i have high hopes for too!)

I won't buy it until it's about $25 on steam. Black Ops was a severe disappointment, even more so than MW2 was. I want to like it enough to buy it, but they haven't sold me yet.

I don't think Black Ops has really ever dropped in price on Steam. My guess is it will once MW3 gets released.

lol j/k.

Honestly I wont be buying it out of respect for the creators of IW. CoD is their baby and what Activision did to them was wrong. However I will be buying whatever "Respawn" come out with. Just to spite Activision.

No, I feel like the MW-series are being milked too far, theres not enough new things being brought to the table, it's simply not worth the investment

Yeah I did, obvious that they are doing this sale for the benefit of some extra cash before MW3 goes on sale.
