You trolling?
Really can't see how your comparing effectively reconstructing a terrorist attack, and having real political figures as bad guys. Which by the way has happened hundreds of times already (Hitler)

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
They haven't used living figures or figures that are in office at the same time as the game's release. It would be a real smear for them to have this reconstruction of actual terror events and then actually linking them to Al Qaeda.

idk, i feel like reconstructing an actual terrorist attack, as long as youre not glorifying it or anything, would be a good story event and mood setter. like, avenging the death of those people in the attack or whatever.

I havent seen Flight 93, but I did see World Trade Centre (the one with Nick Cage). That is a different angle of what we are talking about.
Considering the inquests into what happened has just finished, therefore the pain and heartache the families of the victims and survivors has painfully been brought back to the surface. Now this, which is obviously depicting what happened, even though Activision has denied it is linked - saying the scenes are entirely fictional and not intended to recreate any historical events. You have all clearly shown that you believe it does.
A truck cuts in front of the tube train, causing it to derail and explode, the train is identicalto those used in the underground.

Destruction will feature heavily in the latest title however it will all be cinematic and throwing grenades or shooting bullets at surfaces will have no effect on buildings bar texture changes.
The mission known as "Black Tuesday" sees you climbing to the roof of the New York Stock Exchange to detonate a Russian radar-jamming tower and as you do it crumbles and falls realistically however this is fully scripted.
No surprise here.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
A lot of the previews I'm seeing have been saying basically that it's more of the same gameplay, but in bigger and denser environments. To be expected, and the massive IW exodus can't have helped things along. Expectations are firmly set to "ok cool."
It's quite likely they're focusing the bulk of the effort into multiplayer, which they'll almost certainly show off at E3. IW PR has been saying that the MP will include some major innovation but for all we know that could just mean a new gametype or two, so I guess we'll have to wait a couple weeks to see if there's anything
That SAS picture really looks like COD4 and the underwater one looks exactly like MW2. I like the art style of the US soldiers, but the engine is really done out. This is probably the last squeeze. At least with some sense it would be the last squeeze. Just for shits, though, I'd like to see them pull another CoD out of their ass with this engine.
Okay, to be completely honest, I hope ridiculous things like this keep happening. I just cannot bear to see more mediocre CoD games be released. When I think back to the days of CoD:UO, CoD2, and CoD4, it makes me so sad to see the new low that the franchise has come to.
We need to euthanize this bitch and nuke it hard! The only way for us to continue to enjoy CoD is to kill off the series and go back to CoD4.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
My steam clan, =LIGS= are huge BlOps fans and play it religiously. I brought to light the atrocities of Activision against PC gamers, and they simply don't care. Some of the members just ignored my posts and then posted their own "OMG NEW MAP PACK" threads. They are finally seeing the devil in ATVI now, though. Almost all of them have expressed disgust in another Map Pack (Escalation) and its price since the map packs so far have been lackluster. To my pleasure, most have said the same about MW3.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
For BO owners on PC, an auto patch claims that "mod support is being added in preparation for upcoming mod tools release."
I'm starting to suspect that the mod tools might not even have level geometry editing at all, in other words they might actually be worse than H2V's. I wouldn't be surprised if the mod tools limited us to mixing the colors up in the stock maps or something. After all why would they release two $15 DLC packs when even H2V level of modding tools would render it useless.
May 27th, 2011, 10:43 PM

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
I noticed this about an hour or so ago, as well. "In preparation." They are dragging this WAY too far out now. Notice how it was the first thing on the note list? They just want the PC crowd to hold onto some hope of still getting hold of the tools. They are trying their hardest to milk every last penny out of BO before MW3 in November and it really shows. This is just disgusting. I don't see how gaming journalists can dismiss their contempt of PC users. They go out of their way to piss off real CoD fans.
I found some comments on the patch list at PC Gamer.
Perk 1 : Name: Covert
Feature I: The first feature to the Perk ‘Covert’ stops the enemy from viewing their killcam when they are killed by you. The main feature also prevents deathmarks from being placed when you kill a member of the enemy team making it hard for hostile forces to pinpoint your location.
Feature II: The second feature to ‘Covert’ allows you to remain hidden from enemy UAVs. In addition you will no longer render a red name or crosshair when an enemy is close to you.
Feature III: The final feature is as expected, you remain hidden from all enemy killstreak rewards making it easy to venture throughout the map without having any trouble from any killstreak reward owned by a hostile player with the exception of Counter UAVs. Name: Recon
Feature I: The main feature to the Perk ‘Recon’ allows you to gain killstreak rewards with one less kill than normally required. This is the ‘traditional’ feature to Hardline in the last two games.
Feature II: You can now switch your airdrops one time for a chance to get a better reward by double tapping the Square (ps3) or the X (xbox). In addition you can also capture enemy airdrops faster. And finally you can detect when a hostile has booby trapped an airdrop.
Feature III: The final feature is slightly more complicated. Let’s say an enemy calls in an airstrike, well on your screen you will see a long red line showing exactly where the airstrike is going to hit, this is also shown on your minimap. The same goes for when an enemy calls in a helicopter, you will be able to see exactly where they called it in to. Overall this Perk is mainly for players who want to benefit with their team and on their own depending on which features they choose to act on. Name: Specialist
Feature I: The main feature to this Perk allows you to move faster similarly to Lightweight from previous games. Not much else to say about this.
Feature II: The second feature to Specialist allows you to run for a longer duration much like Marathon from previous games. Again, not much else to say on the second feature to Specialist.
Feature III: The third and final feature of Specialist allows you to walk crouched or prone faster. Name: Scavenger
Feature I: Pretty obviously the main feature to Scavenger allows you to resupply from dead enemies, from this you can resupply rounds and lethal grenades.
Feature II: The second feature to this Perk allows you to resupply tactical grenades and equipment from dead enemies.
Feature III: HAVEN’T DECIDED. Perk 2 : Name: Sleight of Hand
Feature I: The main feature to Sleight of Hand allows you to reload all weapons faster. Not much else to it.
Feature II: The second feature to Sleight of Hand gives you the ability to ADS faster.
Feature III: The final feature to Sleight of Hand allows you to switch weapons faster. Not much else to this Perk. Name: Reflexes
Feature I: The main feature of ‘Reflexes’ allows you to use your knife a lot quicker.
Feature II: The second feature to ‘Reflexes’ grants you less flinch when shot at.
Feature III: The final feature to ‘Reflexes’ allows you to crouch/prone/stand up a lot quicker. Name: Sharpshooter
Feature I: The main feature of this Perk doesn’t reduce your recoil but it makes it more controllable and more predictable. For example, it will recoil more in the middle and top rather than to the left and right every so often, this Perk doesn’t decrease recoil, that’s what Grip is for.
Feature II: The second feature to Sharpshooter increases your hip fire accuracy.
Feature III: The final feature to Sharpshooter reduces your idle sway, you can also hold your breath longer if you have a sniper rifle equipped. Name: Bling
Feature I: Allows you to equip three attachments to your primary weapon (default being 2).
Feature II: The second feature to Bling allows you to equip two attachments on your secondary (default being 1).
Feature III: The final feature to Bling allows you to equip two pieces of equipment.
NOTE: This Perk cannot be combined with a Grenade Launcher, and normally Grenade Launchers take up two attachments. Name: Weapon Master
Feature I: The first feature to ‘Weapon Master’ replaces your secondary with another primary weapon.
Feature II: The second feature allows you to drop no weapon on death.
Feature III: The third and final feature allows you to equip a pistol of your choice along side. Perk 3 : Name: Bandoiler
Feature I: This Perk is pretty much the pro to Scavenger along with some extra helpful features. The main feature to this Perk allows you to spawn with full ammunition at the start of matches and every time you respawn. Very helpful when it comes to big games, combined with Scavenger this feature makes it dominant.
Feature II: The second feature to this Perk allows you to have up to two lethal grenade slots and three tactical grenade slots. You also spawn with the extra grenades.
Feature III: The third and final feature of this Perk allows you to hold three extra magazines onto your loadout. So if your gun usually holds 200 bullets and each mag was 30 bullets you would end up with 290 bullets, if you combine this with Scavenger it will be dominant over one man army and teamplay operations. Name: Tactician
Feature I: Allows you to take no falling damage.
Feature II: You can throw grenades quicker and farther.
Feature III: The final feature to ‘Tactician’ allows you to reset the fuse on grenades when throwing them back. Name: Infiltrator
Feature I: Your footsteps are silent.
Feature II: Enemy equipment no longer affects you unless it’s a proximity explosive.
Feature III: Your knifing, defusing, reloading and etc is now silent. Name: Engineer
Feature I: You can see enemy equipment through walls.
Feature II: You can now booby trap enemy airdrops and you can hack enemy equipment.
Feature III: Finally, you can defuse the bomb quicker in bomb based game modes. Name: Navigator
Feature I: Enemies who have shown on the radar now last longer before fading, in addition it also shows the direction enemies are facing.
Feature II: You are no longer affected by Counter UAVs.
Feature III: Finally, enemies close to you will get their radar slowly jammed, the closer they get. Killstreaks

Some of the perks sound like what they should have been, others seem irritating. Weapon Master, Bandolier and Scavenger seems like it would be very rude.

Activision Blizzard Inc. plans to launch an online service called Call of Duty Elite this fall that will work with the next major edition of the game, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3," and future installments of the hyper-realistic combat-simulation game.

Battlefield still works pretty well even if the teams are not working together inside themselves. If *you* are playing the game properly, you will usually have a great time. Only exception to this is when your team is getting spawn-raped. On PC, that's harder to do since servers can set up kill zones in and over the DPZ as well as kill players who kill people who are still in the DPZ.

Yeah but I prefer games like Halo (1) where you can basically win the entire game by yourself if you're good enough. I don't like relying on other people for stuff. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with teamwork oriented games, they're just not my thing.

Still, there’s a silver lining. It looks as though Modern Warfare 2′s controversial tactical nuke that would instantly end a multiplayer game if one player got too many consecutive kills will be removed for Modern Warfare 3
theres no tactical nuke in mw3, is what that says. the game doesnt actually kick the player out.

I only play on AlterIWNet for MW2, because they added their own dedicated server support. Hell they even got B3 working with it.

And watch them make you pay for Elite to unlock the full campaign for MW3 like homefront

Oh shit, really? I've been looking through my games list for something to reinstall. I paused at the MW2 folder and thought better of it. This might change my mind in the coming days.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Well, it's not apart of the main character's storyline. If I remember correctly, the DLC campaign missions take place in Hawaii or around that area of the Pacific. And I believe the troops you are playing as are SAS or some form special UK forces. People see the SP DLC as paying for the rest of the game because the base game is ridiculously short at 4 hours. I am one of those people. I bet they didn't have enough content for the main storyline, but had the idea of getting the Brits in on the action. It doesn't really seem fitting to just tack the UK missions onto the end of the game, does it? "So, what do we do now?" they ask themselves. "But of course! We'll just sell it as DLC and rake in the cash!"
I can't see very many people shelling out the cash for DLC for a dead game.

The only thing that was epic about that footage was the scenario that it was set in. I like the look of the Tomb Raider stuff that is on right now.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Wow, this game looks dated:
Textures looks low-res. Especially on the SCAR.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
They say they're "past their old roots (graphic-wise)" or whatever, but watching the gameplay everything STILL looks like MW2.
What a disappointment [that I was already expecting].

I got that image off Reddit. Apparently, you get that "exclusive" wallpaper when you pre-order the game on Amazon.

Well, they are still using that age old id Tech 3 engine or whatever...there's a reason why people shit in the toilet: so they can flush their (old) shit and make room for the next "big thing".

I'd be happy to play a game that looked like CS 1.6 if the gameplay didn't suck. But it's going to, so fuck it.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
iv said this before, but if activision releases a cod title once per year and rakes in tons of cash from the games plus the 15 dollars for every dlc pack, why cant it venture out and try something dramatically different with one of the new cods. something that isnt cod 4's perk system and mw2's killstreak system with the same glitches in every game. rebuild the game from the ground up and fix the fucking gameplay problems.
they wont though.

Because it doesn't cost them anything to keep recycling the same shit over and over, and they'll continue to make record sales regardless.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Really, what difference would it make in the amount of money they have? The could develop an entirely new engine and not even notice a drop in their cash piles. What do they have to lose? Nothing. They've already lost the trust and confidence of real CoD fans.
Yes, because you are literally forced by hand in hand coercion to look up those shitty videos.
:downs:
because you favorite one cod:bo video and then your "recommended videos" get flooded with 30 second clips from the game. it happened to one of my accounts with mw2 videos because i favorited a video about getting the riot shield on the mounted turret.

I wouldn't be surprised if we later found out that half of that stuff was supposed to be premium but they made it free in fear of Battlefield's offerings.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Did they not say that most things would be free at first and then some would end up under the paid service later?
