Are you buying MW3

[xenocide]

Released with dedicated servers.... check

Welcome to 1998. Most games not related to Call of Duty have used Dedicated Servers for the better part of the last decade. BF3 is no exception, neither was BFBC2, BC1, BF2142, BF1942, or BF2. Origin at it's worst will never be as bad as what IW Net was.

yup but the point is that it's one more moving part in a machine that can fuck up and cause the whole thing not to work... plus I never updated my FB in a war and am pretty sure you didn't either

And I'm pretty sure you never would dual-wield bright red shotguns with laser scopes and purple dildos attached to them in a combat zone. If you want to bicker about realism you're defending the WRONG game.

Plus I see how you skirted around the Origin issue

I have never had an issue with origin but others have I cannot deny that. I guess I was just lucky who knows. Yes I wished It would have been released on steam and from recent news, it may be soon.

If they changed every little thing people would bitch that it wasn't even the same game...

I dont know about you, but im not in the habit of purchasing the same game (or what is POTENTIALLY the same game) 2 or 3 times in a row. Especially when they charge $60 per game.

In MW3 the situation gets worse. as you need to pay a $50 subscription fee to 'unlock' the full game.

at least we don't HAVE to deal with orgin or have a web browser open to play a fking game

at least we dont have to pay $50 subs for the social networking side of things and stats tracking.

Origin and the web based server browser are quite a big change. and obviously most people hated it when they first started using it but many people have grown to it. and in most cases its even faster then using an ingame browser.
I really hated it. It has it flaws, and its still buggy as its something new but, it WILL get better.

In anycase. Origin and your web browser doesnt take that much resources unless your running it with hundreds of tabs.

Most users on this forum have more then enough resources to spare and dont see this as a big negative point of the game let alone be something to complain about.

If your complaining then maybe switching over to the console would be perfect for you.

I'm not a fanboy

Could have fooled me

To each his own. If you want to spend your money on MW3, then have fun!

None of the arguing over which game is better is gonna make HL2:EP3 show up any faster.

Off Topic.... I seriously just farted in my cubical at work and I think my boss smells it!

no your right I've been in a war and this is just a game

Ya need to read... 50 will buy you map packs for the year instead of dropping money on each one plus you get extras... basic version is free

awww... I feel sooo silly now

Who knew me cumming would cause such a rift this early in da morning

 

[brandonwh64]

Gary your the man! I say you play what you wanna play and I would not put you down for doing it. My only complain is that COD could have been changed since COD4 in big ways but no they decide to keep the same ole stuff.

Speaking of this! I need to install COD4 on my cruncher to play at work!

Some of these guys may have a point that I don't see cause I didn't play COD4 until I got it free with the prepurchase... but like ya said I enjoy each game for different things

I picked up COD4 while on my second deployment and we played LAN matches with 2 platoons on the FOB. I didn't get to play the full multiplayer until 2009 and by then I already had all unlocks due to getting them by playing on LAN. Its fun and stuff but it gets old quick unless you do domination or something.

 

[H82LUZ73]

they shouldnt be charging $60 for a 'basic' game. since you havent played many of the CoD games (been there since CoD1 - GO MEEE!!!!) then you wont recognise that more then just a few of the maps that you get in DLCs are just reskins with a few tweaks.

why pay for content that youve already payed for in the previous games??? Its not the first time Ive seen 'Brecourt' get rehashed from CoD1 - Brecourt is still there as a reskin with some minor tweaks and adjustments here and there.

thats why I dont buy DLCs very often.
Activision dont put any effort into what they do, why should we reward them for it by buying their game or DLCs?

So I dont buy or play their games....however I will still be 'borrowing' their game for the SP campaign but that as far as it goes for me.

- my personal opinion of course. I wont buy another CoD.

 

[digibucc]

that's why i said - have fun playing cod 4 for the 5th year in a row.

 

[H82LUZ73]

Okay here is the COD buyers guide Looney Tunes Style Starring Bug,Daffy,Elmer....Watch this closely when the season starts....daffy gets fooled into each season.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=vUv-ivMH34s I can`t resist these,have not seen them in awhile.

so looking at reviews and the game is getting 9 out of 10s

 

[Frizz]

The way I see it in gaming terms,

Infinity Ward and Activision are campers, they are staying in one spot and shooting people in the back while the others try to advance, they also get the most kills and hate every round.

Although if this is really only a Trilogy then we can expect a pretty bad ass game from IW since they've made so much money out of rehashes.

EDIT: Both IGN and Gamespot gave it the same score as BF3 to prevent fan boy gamers from being discouraged on reading their future reviews, this is my theory.

[the54thvoid]

To be fair I imagine MW3's singleplayer is way better than BF3 with it's dick 'press random button' episodes.

The MP is however so good that it doesn't matter if MW3 is any good - I don't have time to play it with BF3 at nights and Skyrim coming up to steal my days. I stopped playing MW2 and went to BFBC2 because i felt it was more fulfilling with the fully destructible environments, awesome battle carnage and multiple vehicles.

Its single player is not that great compared to some of the others.

 

[lilhasselhoffer]

Time to pose a question: how much do reviewers get paid to do their jobs, and how much advertising money comes from the people who put full page ads into magazines?

That said, I will not buy Modern Warfare 3. The only reason I have BFBC2 was because I won it in a contest on these forums.


That said, here are the reasons.
1) 0 changes between games. Everyone enjoyed Grand Theft Auto. It evolved. We now have the gritty story (GTA), and the pointless and violent dicking around (Saints Row). I think we're better of for this evolution.
2) You pay twice for the game. Stat tracking is done by companies for their research, it costs them almost nothing to post these stats for consumers. Companies rarely, if ever, release games that have DLC that is worth the price of the game in a single year.
3) What new maps? Reskinning maps is both time and cost effective. Companies try to pass this off as "new," which irks me to no end.
4) Tea bagging, noobs, and kiddies. These games are embraced by everyone rampantly, whether good or not. I'm tired of listening to people online that complain about cheating, swear someone out because they lack skill, or generally act like idiots. Games are a way to blow off steam, and dealing with an army of vertically challenged trolls is not my idea of blowing off steam.
5) Another shooter, that does nothing new. Blowing up stuff is a catharsis. When I'm good and mellow I need something more. Shooter 8,098,123 may be pretty, but if I want a shooter there are better ones out there. For $10 I can get Painkiller or Serious Sam games. Both labels offer true shooting fun, without the burden of being realistic. Once I'm done, I can move onto Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and the like. MW3 doesn't offer anything special, and it isn't the best at what it offers.

Can you guess my gamers tag...

 

[brandonwh64]

Troll?

*EDIT*

Hell it even has the same score screen HAHA

 

[digibucc]

it's actually pretty disgusting all those reviews. they can't help but admit they game has not changed in years, but still see fit to give it a 9 or 9.5 . what the hell sense does that make unless they are being paid off?

 

[BumbleBee]

I thought Giantbomb's review was pretty honest.

 

[MxPhenom 216]

Its single player is not that great compared to some of the others.

no, the story is horrible. its all about captain price now, "SCREW PLOT" is basically what its saying.

Every review ive seen so far says the story is forgettable and unsatisfying and confusing

i think they are. I think with MW2 they were, i remeber reading how Activision paid.

Ive also read that Elite is suffering hard.

Im really on edge though about the game, because my motocross buddies have got it and want me to get it since we have a distance friendship so we talk and stuff through gaming. However, i definitely don't want to spend $60 on this game again.

Im also rethinking about the change in the series. I don't think people want to much change to it because they love they way its kind of evolved into a fun late night non try hard fun game. However, they do need to bring in a new engine for enhanced animations, mechanics, and slight change in the way the game plays
