Call of Dooty: Modern Warfare 3

[Pooky]

If you come to the point where your complaining about the gun color, you are just knit picking and being an up-tight asshole. If you actually played MW2 and Blackops and didn't just say how bad it was, you'd see that they weren't horrible. They weren't even bad.

Played shitloads of MW2. Not as much blackops, but still a lot.

They both sucked compared to Call of Duty 4.

I know that every game can't be a masterpiece like CoD 4 was, but seriously. In a series with as little innovation as this one, there's absolutely no excuse to be doing anything but improving with each installment.

As opposed to generic pink?

Do you just want more guns with cosmetic camo? Because it would be more realistic if they just used all black, I don't know of any military that issues colored firearms with the exception of the Canadian Forces. Our latest C7A2's/A3's come with OD green stocks, grips, scopes, etc... Mostly all the colored stuff is reserved for special forces and/or PMC's.

USA issues tan and desert camo weapons to troops in the Middle East. Colour is too region-dependent to try and give everyone the same colour, so black is the default. There is a lot of surplus black.

That aside, this game looks like the same tired CoD visuals we've had since CoD 3. Game-play will likely remain similar, though that by itself is not a problem since the same can be said of BF3 vs. BC2. However BF3 has far superior ambiance and better game-play already, so I am not too interested in MW3.

Guns are easy to paint anyways. You just remove the bolt and paint it with a can of Krylon.

The same thing cannot be said for BF3 vs. BC2. The visuals are far superior in BF3, but the gameplay reminds me a lot of Medal of Honor (2010). Since we have only seen scripted campaign gameplay we can't make any real judgement as to what the MP will be like. Since we've had the same shit cod game rehashed (MW2-->BO) we have a pretty good expectation of what MW3 is going to play like.

I'm talking about multi-player here. The formula has not changed since Battlefield 1942, and it is unlikely to change appreciably this time either. The only thing that is really going to change is how they balance the game. Pray for death zones above uncaps, people.

I actually swear they broke BC2 with the latest patch because now everybody is one-shotting me with sniper rifles (I used to be able to take two hits) while I'm wearing body armour and everyone is somehow a god with headshots while sprinting and jumping over obstacles. Say what?

[TeeKup]

Everytime Dice touched BC2 it got worse. The first 2 patches were ok but after that I just can't play it anymore.

[Warsaw]

It's still mostly the same, but those two things have made my K/D go to shit on more than a few occasions. But still, knowing your game is supported by the developer/publisher is better than what we get from Activision/CoD Devs. All they do is throw more DLC at us to get our money. Few, if any, patches. No cheat protection. No dedicated servers. This is why I have shifted as much of my play to PC as I can. Cheat protection is better, we have better servers, and you don't get fucked by the controls every two encounters.

Also, please tell me you don't play Reach over BC2, because Reach is far worse. It's almost as bad as MW2.

[TeeKup]

I don't have reach anymore. I honestly hate the game.

This.

On the subject of COD price gouging:

Activision has kindly offered a 10% discount on the new Escalation DLC for black ops on PC.

Hmm, didn't Treyarch promise a May release for mod tools a few days ago? Looks like they blatantly lied - there's no way Activision would allow mod tools to cut into DLC profits. At least Battlefield DLC is free, so I can forgive the lack of mod tools for that one.

It looks like this is never stopping. I'll likely just borrow MW3 to play once on either 360 or PS3, and stick with COD4 for PC multiplayer.
