MW3 no different than MW2....(some MW3 gameplay)

[AnarchistFish]

I'm not gonna buy this so it doesn't really matter. But it says a lot about the CoD fanbase that they can get away with doing this and still make a fortune out of it.

I just hope I don't get overrun with MW3 spam on facebook like I did with Black Op

 

[theriddlen]

MW3 is no different than MW2. Well, that fact was known as soon as Activision announced that there will be MW3.

 

[AnarchistFish]

Man Seananner is just a delightful person.

But it's just MW2.1
It's the same game with like little bits added on. I just.... ugh...
Vote with your wallets people!

And that is.. bad? I loved MW2, the campaign was great, if a little bit short. The Multiplayer I loved, minus the balancing issues that were far more in your face than other CoD games. If they can clean it up, make a longer campaign then I will be very happy and will thankfully spend my money on it.

So you want to pay for a game that you should have already paid for?

 

[Bobbity]

Well...it is using the same engine (I believe), so it being MW2 with different guns and different settings makes sense. Still looks fun to me.

Lol, not even different guns, I still see everyone using the UMP45.

Haha, I'm betting that they had all the files left over from MW2 and wanted to see how much that they could get away with.

Modern Warfare 3 doesn't look better then Crysis 2. Nor does it look as fun to me. But with hackers people will have no choice but to play Modern Warfare 3.

 

[Abedeus]

So, different story and different setting means it's not different. I learn something new everyday.

People played CoD for story?

Hasn't it been "America VS XXX" for the past few games, ever since they stopped making good campaigns and started relying on scandals and 6-hour movie cutscenes?


...Wait, you mean that cutscene was the actual game? Geez.

I didn't say people played COD for the story. I imagine they play it because it's fun.

I said it's not logical to say that it's the same game when the story and setting is different. I don't understand why this is such a hard concept to grasp.

Umm. People buy Madden and Fifa every year, with every edition. There is not plot, story or setting. Explanation?

People are dumb and if someone says to them "BUY SUPER NINTENDO 65! It's slightly better than Super Nintendo 64! I mean, it's YEAR OLD, PFFT!", you can bet there are some that will instantly jump to their wallets.

Also, swapping "Russia" in "Russia attacks USA" for "Vietnam/Japanese/Koreans/Arabians/Canadians/Mexicans/British" is not "new story and setting". It's still "XXX vs America", where America always wins.

Now, if they made Modern Warfare: Native Americans, where the Indians attack America and try to take it back, and they succeed, THEN it would be a different plot and setting.

I don't understand why people are complaining, new maps, new guns, new killstreaks, new perks, new spec ops mode how is that the same as MW2?

And don't tell me "because it plays like MW2", the reason why it's like MW2 is because MW2 sold a lot.

So you enjoy paying $60 for something a normal company would release in a patch or a cheap $10-15 DLC/expansion? Thank God you're not the average consumer...

It took me a couple of minutes on the first video to realize that it was MW3, and not MW2.

 

[Your Fearless Captain]

I don't see the problem. Acivision can recycle COD game play as much as they want. Games aren't all about to become gray brown shooters. Games like COD appeal to the lowest common denominator to reach as large a demographic as possible. They have a good formula that works with the Bro type gamers as well are small children.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

So the lack of killstreaks, the addition of strike packages, new campaign, new gamemodes, etc. means that it's the same thing because you're a CoD hater?
Okay.

wow i cant belive it mw3 is the same as mw2 oh wait i knew that for 2 years already bf3 ftw

You knew that the next game would be like MW2 because MW2 wasn't like any CoD before except 4? Okay.
Also you should probably take some english lessons.

(On a side note, reserved the Hardened Edition at Gamestop, I only have to pay 20 bucks for this because I finally traded in all the doubles of other games I had.)

Strike packages is just the killstreak system revamped as it seems after seeing MW2 and BO with the complete over saturation of imbalanced ones they actually realised they fucked up badly in area and found out more doesn't always mean better. A new campaign is pretty standard.

Weapon Customization:
Last but not least, there?s going to be a new system for weapon customization. We don?t know much about this yet, but we?ll give a quick summary on what we?ve found out so far.
The new system will be called ?Weapon Proficiencies? which will work by unlocking new upgrades on your weapons as you use them. So, unlike the past Modern Warfare games where you would slowly unlock more attachments for all of your guns at the same time. Now, the more you use a certain gun, the more attachments you will have available for it ? thus encouraging players to stick to the same weapons.

Now I don't know how they did it in MW2 but this is exactly how weapon unlocks worked in previous games so hardly a new feature. The only game to deviate from this way of unlocks(ie more use = more unlocks) is BO which went with the CoD points as currency which is hardly a new feature.

Yes there are total of 2 new game types one of which(Team Defender) from the name sounds like it will be defending 1 key player which will probably lead to lots of griefing. While Kill Confirmed sounds like something that might be decent.

32 player is not new to CoD. It may be new to CoD on consoles and something sorely needed given how bad they have been with maps lately although this one goes more out to Treyarch. How on earth you make maps seem clustered with BO's limit is fucking beyond me.

They may have copped on and added Dedicated Servers but we have yet to see if they will fix problems that have been with the series for years and recently like the shitty spawn system, some serious power creep in weapons, imbalanced 40mil(more of a HC problem) and imbalanced melee system.

I disagree MW3 was done on a whole new engine and had twice the number of mechs and simulation then the first two MW. Not to mention it was before Micropros was bought out by Microsoft. Which was both a good and bad thing. Microsoft had money. But they utterly ruined Mechwarrior with the Xbox versions. Enough that smith and tinker are rebooting it.



Oh wait your talking about COD:Modern Warfare 1/2/3? Thats not MW.

No its not its the same engine actually, no way did they develop a new engine i such a short ammount of time

This is a simple Problem that woulde be resolved by simple Dungeons and Dragons tactics.

Don't split the party.

Over the last couple of years the Cod franchise has reeked of samey familiarity ever since MW1 came out.

Now since that time there have been 4 games, and 10 map packs.

That is the same kind of game, that you already own, with the same engine dividing the community of players 14 ways.

Unless of course you paid the grand total of 240 bucks pre tax for the games, and say the 10400 microsoft points for the map packs, another 151.25.

So instead of having one epic game on the engine and working for 4 years on a sequel, You get the same game every year (reskinned of course) and then sold a retail games worth of small maps(4 blops packs 20 maps for 70 bucks) that some people buy and others don't.

Related note to all of this:

Everyone gets upset that Madden releases a game every year and charges full price for what is basically just a minor graphics update with some players and player stats tweaked.

So why is it that nobody seems to mind playing the same Call of Duty game, full price, every year. If you like it, go ahead spend your money.

-Also note: Medal of Honor used the Support/Offense action before Homefront sirs and madams. If you reached 50 points in the game, you could call in a mortar strike or a UAV to help your team. Eventually it got to Predator Missile or Flak Vests. (Just to list a few that you may know off hand)

 

[aescuder]

Makes you think what the game developers have actually been doing this entire time.



Developer1: "Hey should we get working on some gameplay mechanics on that sequel at any point?"

Developer2: "HAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! [snort]"

 

[natster43]

Looks alright, I am still getting it for the story if anything.

 

[hazabaza1]

That's not true. The one handed sprinting looks a lot sillier now.

 

[Captain Pirate]

Seananners, your charm can't make MW3 any better any more than polish can make shit shiny.

That just looks even more fucking stupid than ever. The guns used to sound weak, now they sound retarded. Flat out retarded.
And it... You know what, no, I can't even be fucked to list why it's the same as MW2, I just feel insulted at how similar it is.

Do excuse me gentlemen, I'm going to pre-order Battlefield 3 right now.

 

[bootz]

just get red orchestra 2 it looks amazing and it actually improves on the first one

 

[crepesack]

The map in the second video looks like a reskin of a cod2 map.

 

[AT God]

I understand that the CoD series is apparently the best on the console market, but does anyone expect a game that is released every year will be different then the last one?
If I had a console and money wasn't an issue i would buy the games every year but I wouldn't expect anything different except a few new made up guns with aimpoints and another rediculous story that makes america the hero again.

 

[crepesack]

I love the fact that the reviewers seem to have no actual compliments toward the game other than "it's like mw2 with more colors"
