Yeap. We'll have to wait for XBOX 720 for the fully glorious 32 on 32 combat on large maps. All out war.

We shouldn't have to though... there are already games out that support more than 24 player multiplayer. Dice just didn't make it work.

Well, I just have to assume that the XBOX/PS3 can't handle Frostbite 2 with that many people. I don't see any other reason why DICE would chose to limit their game in that way. You know their vision was 32 vs 32 since that's what it is on PC.

Be honest, people like Call Of Duty because it's easy. You don't have to try to hard to be decent, and you don't have to try to hard to find someone to kill. It's made for the masses to have fun, and that's what they do.

I've loved the COD games minus all the Treyarch versions. I'll be getting this one and I'm sure I'll enjoy the hell out of it for what it is.

I would say having 3 separate killstreak tiers is a pretty good advancement. Especially when each class that you have has it's own separate killstreak loadout. I can't tell you how many times I have ran the wrong killstreak setup and was stuck with killstreaks I didn't want. Now you can just change your class to whichever one has the killstreak loadout you want.

The Assault streaks are just like what you are used to from MW2, but now you don't have to die to keep getting streaks, as soon as you reach your highest streak your killstreaks reset. Now if you get 21 kills with your gun without dying and are running a 3-5-7 setup you will get 3 UAV's, 3 pred missiles, and 3 Attack Choppers.

Support streaks reward players who run team friendly killstreaks and you don't have to worry about losing your streak when you die. Plus you get points toward your killstreaks for playing objectives, shooting down killstreaks, and you even get points each time a teammate picks up a ballistic vest. The Support Package is revolutionary because now people don't have to worry about dying, it's a brilliant way to influence people to move around more.

The Specialist Package will let you get extra perks instead of killstreaks. Every two kills in a row gets you another perk, and once you get an 8 killstreak you will be given every perk in the game.

They also added the Prestige Shop, Call of Duty Elite, improved Theater Mode, two new gamemodes, and added a greatly enhanced version of Private Match with ranked leaderboards and unheard of customization. Now people can create a custom gamemode where you can restrict anything you want and post it on Call of Duty elite for others to play, and if enough people play it, IW will add it to the public playlist.

BF is easier IMO. It's slow paced and you can have literally the worst gun skills ever and you'll still do fine.

Bad gun skills in CoD = You dying 99% of the time in a gun battle. Bad reaction time = You dying 99%.

In BF, you don't need good reaction time because the person you're shooting at is about 100 yards away LMAO. It's ridiculous. You can go through a whole game and the closest you'll be to an enemy is about 25 yards away.

A competitive objective game in CoD >>>> All

I love it when in domination shit comes down to the wire and the score ends up like 200-198 and most of the players are capping flags. There's nothing like it.

And for the people who say there's no teamwork in CoD, you obviously haven't played Sabotage or Search and Destroy. You will get absolutely dominated if you don't use teamwork in those games and the other team is.

Complete BS right here.

I'm pretty sure -King- is the tree tackling guy in all those videos. Objective based modes in COD are laughable compared to BF3. COD has much better TDM seeing as the spawn system in BF's TDM is an absolute abortion. That mode is more like an FFA but you happen to be on a team. Just a complete failure on DICE's part.

Agreed....especially the TDM in BF3 spawn points. What the **** is up with that. Seriously, if you stand in one spot long enough, the other team will just start spawning 5 feet in front of you. lol. It sucks bad when you are on the other end of it though.

COD is like a one man show for 99% of the game modes. Sure, if you have a team together you'll win 99.9% of the time, but you don't need it. One good person on your team will make the game close in just about any game mode in COD - you may not win, but you won't get your ass kicked either.

John ****ing Rambo

There were hacked servers that had 32 on 32 on the xbox back in the beta IIRC.

Oh wow, yeah, then I don't know.

Have you played any game mode CoD other than TDM? You're lying if you say that there's no teamwork needed in sabotage or search and destroy or headquarters.
Posted via Mobile Device

LOL, have I played... I don't know your history, but I would be willing to bet I played more COD than you, man. Yeah, I've played Sabotage and S&D and HQ and Domination. There's teamwork needed, it's just not even close to BF3. There's teamwork needed in TDM as well if you want to win consistently, too.

Teamwork in COD:

Player 1: Oh shit, he shot me. He's running around... try and kill him.

Player 2: OK I got him

Player 1: Cool

Don't get me wrong, we had a pretty badass CP group during the MW2 days, we'd go on massive winning streaks because we'd work as a team, but by no means was it a requirement like it is in BF3. Like others have said, both games are incredibly good. MW2 MP was a thing of beauty, it's just that I've moved on from that game and MW3 is going to be that same game. Obviously, others don't share my views and that's fine. To each their own.

yup

me and my boys might lose 1 out of 20 games in COD. Unless you go against another team, but most of the time it's against a group of random scrubs and we pwn the shit out of them.

LMAO These d-bags are already lined up 40 deep at the campus Gamestop.. WTF.

HA! no need to wait in line really. I go around 3 AM to walmart and there's no line by then and I can get the game and head out all in under 5 minutes.

Like I said, you can't single handedly win a game in bf3, you can in cod.

It's amazing. It's like they don't realize that the stores will still have the games later on in the day.

I'll be damned if I stand in line for hours when I can just walk in and walk out within 30 seconds a few hours later.

I can't wait. I've been sitting out in front of this ****ing Gamestop for 4 hours. I just now finally have had company for the last 40 minutes or so.

About 40 of us now. Mostly college kids though.

I sent you an invite on Saturday.....asshole.

****, people are already there?

I was planning on heading to gamestop around 11.

You really thought you were going to be able to show up at 11 to a midnight release of MW3.....and you'd be ok? ROFL

ya, I didn't think that one through. I haven't been to a midnight release in years either.

the last midnight release I went to was for Halo 2 for the original XBOX and there were probably 30 people in line for that one. What would expect these days? hundreds of people? 4 hour wait?

Shit, I might just try to finish Arkham City tonight and pick up MW3 in the AM

LOL! I feel the same only better - I preordered mine from Amazon months ago and for .99 it will be at my house when I get home from work tomorrow. No need for the store trip.



:toast:

I figure I'll head down to Gamestop on Thursday or so. The line should be down by then.

You know how people are, they want to be the first to get it and have that little extra edge on everyone else. I would have gotten mine at Wal-Mart, but I had to trade in Gears at Gamestop and put it toward a pre-order to get a 20% markup in trade-in value. So I may just roll up at like 11:45 and snag my copy since I already paid for it, or I'll just wait until after class tomorrow... Either way, I'm not an idiot.

Yeah i saw that. I was logged on but in the other room. Was waiting on my brother. Got back, saw you had invited me but you were gone by then. Just barely missed ya.

Yep same here. Was kind of worried that I wouldn't get it on release day because of how quickly Amazon sold out of the Hardened Edition but I just checked it and it is already on a truck headed to my closest sorting facility. :)

I just wish that Amazon used Fed Ex, I live less than a mile from their sorting facility and normally get packages at like 8 AM from them.

It's definitely going to be a good game - well, until the hacks come out - then after they fix them.

Seriously, I hope they have some bullshit "weapon" like riot shield. That was awesome.

Riot shield with the blast shield perk. Headquarters king!

Machinima is going to be livestreaming MW3 multiplayer 24 hours a day for the next two weeks.

This guy is going to piss me off if he doesn't start aiming down sights soon. Not every shot is meant to be a hip fire LMAO

Good grief that's a tiny map.

ROFL That part was hilarious when he got killed by a killstreak he didn't know about.

"WHAT THE **** WAS THAT??" "WHAT WAS THAT?"

What the ****? that wasn't a killstreak. That was a gun. What the ****?!?!

Yeah thats the XM25 or something. I don't know why they put that in the game. I mean jesus, they gave that gun so much ammo and it fires grenades faster than the Grim Reaper in BLOPS did. That is stupid.

This paris map looks pretty big

I cannot wait until I unlock the auto tube. Holy hell, I may never prestige.

So all you crazy people that got it early...how is it?

I got a call at 11:30 last night. One of my brothers good friends was at gamestop to pick up his pre-order. They for some reason had him down for 2 so he got his brother one. Then he called my brother and picked us up 2 copies. So all four of us got em.

I'll be swinging over to his house over noon hour and firing this bitch up. I'll be all over this game tonight.


WHO ELSE HAS THE GAME ALREADY?!!?!

So should I pick up the game? :D

No.

I picked the game up last night - needless to say, the game's pretty slick. New interface is very shiny. Gameplay (multiplayer) was very fun last night, and on the extreeeme bright side, I only lagged and got booted from a lobby once.

The maps are very detailed, I've already noticed. Also, the extras for the guns/perks/equipment are very intruiging. All in all, I was very impressed with my experience thus far (FTR, I hated Black Ops, but was an avid MW2 player, FWIW).

Got to 23 last night before I quit - SO much fun.

Any opinions on the SP?

I've heard no comments regarding the Sloppy Puss known as knowmo. I'm not sure if he's bought it yet.

BTW - I'll be on XBL playing this around 12:30 or 12:45 pm. Add me if you would like - gamertag is Suddenly Toast

My wife is going to be busy making her bows tonight, so after my kids go to sleep I'll be on.

How's the Campaign? What level did you play on & is it tough?

Anyone doing the Elite thing?

I bought the elite and whenever I try to verify through the email I get this error

ERROR 500

An Internal Server Error Occurred

An unexpected system error occurred.


tried it last night, tried it right now, still no dice. Don't burn your money on it yet. I know its release day, but after dropping an additional $50, I'd like to at least know if its going to work or not, they shouldn't have let me pay for it yet.

Another question:

My standard black wireless 360 controller is all chewed up so I'm looking to get a wired replacement. Anyone have any experience with any of these?

Razr Onza TE

Hori EX 2 Pad with Turbo

MadCatz COD PrecisionAIM

Still have yet to try the Campaign. After I got my copy last night, I went straight to Multiplayer with some friends. From what I've heard though, campaign is kind of a "same old, same old" experience. Meh - I don't pay $60 for a game for the Campaign mode, anyway.

The multiplayer is fun. It's always funny on release day when everyone has to use the same weapons. Makes for some entertaining (and sometimes frustrating) situations.

It's been a few years since I've owned a MadCatz controller, but the experience wasn't necessarily a pleasant one. I'd go elsewhere.

Ya, MadCatz is garb.

This makes me laugh my ass off. The n00b tubing part is hilarious. and the RPG at the sniper. LMAO

That's pretty good. They know their fanbase.

snooze yo. it's the same thing

A lot of people are having problems signing up for Elite right now.

Over/Under on days until Knowmo starts bitching about campers &/or people using Ghost (or whatever it's called in this one)?

-987

We get it. You don't like the game.

Get the **** outta here then you stupid piece of shit.

My friend (who I work with) took 2 days off to play this game. After standing in line for 5 hours in the rain at Gamestop to get it. I don't get all the hype honestly. Doesn't seem much different than any of the CODs that came before it.

I love Modern Warfare 2.

What are you twelve?

Come in here to complain then you try to take the high road?

You're not fooling anyone.

Gotta get it before your friends.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gAaIoCKIWdU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

OMG get the **** out of here!

You're not allowed to say ANYTHING negative!

ROFL

Whatever, it's marketing BS. It's just a money-grab and they need to be called out on it.

You can call me names but you don't rule the message board.

I have been bitching about Assassin ever since I heard it was in this game. I'm probably going to quit playing the right way and will abuse it in this game. Immunity to UAV, Advanced UAV, Heartbeat Sensors, Counter UAV, and EMP's is just too good not to use.

the "right way" ?

I don't really have anything against the game other than the people who play it nonstop for an entire year until the next one comes out. Rinse, repeat. It is fun for a while, but it gets tiring pretty quick. Plus, a lot of the player base are insanely spoiled, annoying 13 year olds. Aside from that, yeah it's fun for a while. Black Ops was a turd though...

The right way is not using cheap things (i.e. flashbangs, Assassin, grenade launchers etc)

Flashbangs :spock:

Wtf? Can't use flash bangs now? Wow, you really do make your own rules.
Posted via Mobile Device

I feel like if you can reload quicker than me, you're playing cheap. I feel like if you can get a killstreak with less kills than me, you're playing cheap. I feel like if you can ADS quicker than me, you're playing cheap.

Flashbangs?

Maybe you should find another game series to play.
