Probably in about five years or so, when the used price is around what it's actually worth. I can't bring myself to fund Activision, plus it's basically going to be the same game as all its predecessors.

Blatant lies and misconceptions. All of which so far I have given profound evidence for and if you really, really fucking want, now you have pissed me off; I can write you a FUCKING list with the faults with MW2's game engine. I can write you a fucking list of the faults, and explanation as to how it's a fault in the first place, how it slips past most people who are IGNORANT to said fault & how the fucking developers can fix it if they put the fucking time into maintaining the game. Another fucking point in why 70% of IW told Activision to fuck off (because they weren't being given the time to maintain the game like they wanted) much like I'm about to tell you to fuck off.

Fucking hell; I'm trying to give you a constructive argument and all you're doing is calling bluffs; of which there aren't any; and now you just call me ignorant for having the ability to prove your beloved game is bullshit & why the next is going to follow suit too.

EDIT: If you look back my posts have been constructive, informative with profanity kept to a minimum while yours have not. This post is being borderline rage. So don't you fucking dare mention it / use it as an example as I haven't brought anything to the table for a change.

I actually like CoD games because they are fun and relaxing and you dont have to play fifty hours a week every single week to just be average.
Relaxing? Really?

Its frustrating as shit online when you pay attention to your K/D ratio, have a crappy connection so you shot someone like 15 times and knife them and they somehow dont die and lose to stupid things like care package gunships but if you dont care and your connection doesnt activly try make you not have fun it can be relaxing and you can just dick around with an asp pistol and enjoy yourself

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning."

Not that I would know there is any napalm in those games. I've barely played them.

You took the words out of my mouth, I was trying to find a way to say that without trading on toes and starting a stupid fight. I do not find the game relaxing because of all the bullshit and I spawn and die 1 second later all the freaking time. I'm not one of those stereotypical loudmouths you hear about, I usually am a calm gamer, but this game gets my blood boiling.

So I havent bought any of the past CoD games, or BF, Ive just never been a big FPS person, and almost everyone I've ever seen/heard online while playing at a friends house or at school was a complete ah... troll... but i was going to buy MW3 partly because I've liked playing it enough at other peoples houses that i thought i would get it, and partially so people have something to play at my house because I really only play one player games, and am just not a big fan of the online communities of any game for the same reason as CoD but usually to a lesser degree. But after hearing about the free exp with doritos and other chips, my brother and I both strongly feel that we shouldn't by it because we dont want to support this marketing strategy/sponsorship or anything having to do with it.
We are both "hardcore" gamers, and I personally think the Wii and people pandering to casual gaming can get struck by lightning for all i care, and the trend is worsening the quality of games and gaming a a whole, but oddly enough the subway thing for uncharted 3 Multiplayer doesn't bother me...

so are you going to buy MW3, wait until the price drops, or not buy it at all? why or why not, and has anything changed your stance on the matter?
are you complaining about chips giving away exp? please explain how and why thats bad

That guy, Bvenged? Give this man a freaking medal. He has stated everything wrong with the game, and the series. Bloated, buggy games with a campaign whose attempts at modern are just the same cold-war pro-usa gunwank, a community thats half 5-year-old inbreeds and half "pro gaymerz", not nearly enough side content, and multiplayer so imbalanced only MVC3 beats it out. It has its good moments, like the nuke scene in MW1, and the Vorkuta escape in BlOps, but its just not enough.

Oh, and the Doritos? That is a terrible idea and I hope the codes on the marked packets actually ban you so we dont get any EXP whores.

Two words: f*ck it. Seriously, I no longer give a sh*t about COD. I loved the first one and MW1, but every other one has just hurt me. I genuinely only came on this thread because of the Doritos thing.

I'll let the cynical brit stage this one for me.

Its just absolutely disgraceful, telling kids to buy tons of our fattening products and get a ingame bonus, what does that speak to gamers as a whole? It tells the outside world that were all overweight, obese people who fixate on killing muslims or equal and live in a fantasy world.
This is also bad for the image of Activision or Battle Field 3's producer / developer. Their basically rewarding lounging there drinking / eating all of these fat foods, for what? So you can cross promote of this shit in the future?

Seriously, fuck you companies that are running this shenanigans, its reasons like this people can not take gaming seriously or respect it as a medium, fuck you guys.

Actually, yes, its like the Sin to Win contest EA had for Dante's Inferno, you want to know how that turned out? It turned out with both Gaming and real world bashing on it. What did this simple and harmless contest say about the gaming community? That we are all under 18 and want nothing more then to see boobs. Thats not all, I'm going to point back to the original ad for Dante's Inferno, the one to where EA payed protestors money to fakely protest their game and feel like they were religiously offended by it. It basically shows that the community are all children, really. Even look at EA's trailer for Dead Space 2, they made an ad which wouldn't boost game sales, and marketed the game to pre teens or younger.

The actual Doritos / Pepsi contest is also the same thing, shines the whole medium underneath a bad light.

EDIT: the game engine is to blame for a LARGE majority of fault with the game; the rest is down to a lack of effort in testing/maintenance of the game. How is that ignorance, exactly?
You really need somebody to tell you why blaming a game engine of an extremely popular game because you didnt like it is ignorance?


As I said before I have no problem with you hating the game I am just pointing out all of your blatent lies and misconceptions.
Sorry to but in, but the game itself and the engine are all borderline shit on a rythm stick. He is not lying nor is he wrong, he is also not ignorant because those are real problems with the engine, can you tell me how Quick Scoping emerged? It became because it was a glitch, and they still have not fixed it, and its been plenty of chances to do so. All CoD is shallow fun.

Oh joy, another thread talking about how games like COD, or "casual" games like the Wii's library are ruining the quality of games as a whole.

Get off your high horse. Just because you don't like somthing or don't want to buy it doesn't mean it's bad.

As for me, I don't plan on buying MW3. But not because I'm part of the anti-COD bandwagon, I'm just not interested in it what's so ever.
Its not about the games, its about this.

I've got it on pre-order. I don't care what people say, it's one of my excursions into the land of mindless fun.

I dont think Ill be getting it at all. From what Ive played in the battlefield 3 beta I think its going to be my FPS multiplayer of choice (just like Bad company 2 was before it).

Although the doritos thing just sounds rediculous to me. They want people to buy a huge amount of less then healthy food all the time for in game benefits. It just seems like anyone that buys a ton of dorito's for in game benefits is just, for lack of a better word, whoring themselves out. Dont get me wrong though, if you're making nacho's that night and need some chips go ahead and do it but its just the idea of doing it in huge excess that bothers me.

My brother preordered it, but I'm trying to convince him not to get it.

I love CoD but so far everything I'm hearing and seeing worries me. I hear in a certain class type even if you die hundreds of times you can still build up killstreaks with no resetting. I can already imagine everyone abusing that and calling non stop airstrikes.
Theres 3 sets of killstreaks in this game now, the one youre talking about is purely for support. So no, they wont be endlessly calling in airstrikes, just uavs, counters, ammo crates and stuff like that.

The other 2 lists are the really dangerous ones, with 1 list being your basic "kill everyone" killstreaks, while the other list is purely to give you an extra perk every few kills, and i believe ALL the perks you have unlocked in that list when you hit 8.

No I won't be purchasing it. I have Battlefield 3 preordered thru newegg as it was $12 off or something. I am unhappy with IW's take on how to make a game. I don't always want to fight people on the ground. I want vehicles, I want game type options, I want coop.

Their CoDs don't really fit me as well as Treyarch's.

Marketing for games is really random and all over the place. Some companies want to stick to a standard and other companies just want you to notice them. Associating a game with a drink or food is a STRONG form of advertising. Every time I drink a Mtn Dew Livewire, I taste Gamefuel and thus think about Halo3 ... what does that tell you about a game that is 5 yrs old?

Most people can tell if they don't like a game within the first hour or two.

Not you I guess, had to stretch that shit out over a couple of weeks before you decided it was your worst game ever.
How are you not getting this?
Sorry, it's the "few weeks" part that's tripping me up. It's just weird.

They're not crappy dates, they're what I've researched - The campaign was 6 hours of nonsensical scripted bull, I played the spec ops with a friend for a few hours and then when it came to the multiplayer (the usp of the game, I might add) I tolerated it to a degree before it dawned on me how fucking aweful it was. End of. How do you not understand why I hate the game outright?
If by researched you mean wrote a bunch of random dates on paper and pulled one out of a hat then it might be believeable. But if you actually took a couple seconds to look around on the internet you would see you are obviously way off.


I understand perfectly why you hate the game so much. Its because you and me have different tastes in games and saying anything else on the subject is uselss. What I dont understand is why people continue to play games that do not like.

http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Call_of_Duty:_Modern_Warfare_3

there's one source; not 100% reliable I must add as I'm not a fan of wiki's. But it's off the first page on google. It was confirmed pre-production on the 9th April. My mistake, off by 20 days. Still falls in the same month, still little over 6 months total production.

EDIT: Still not worth £45 for a rehash of MW1 & MW2 plus crappy workmanship, crappy community & a random assortment of game breaking bugs. AS for the lack of testing? Alpha testing WAS the CoD XP event, Beta testing is behind closed doors (the least efficient testing possible).
One small thing. You weren't out by 20 days. You were out by A YEAR and 20 days. It's 2011. 2010 was last year.

My buddy is a huge CoD fanboy so I'll just borrow it from him, play the SP and never look at it again.

But OP if you are looking for a hardcore cheap party game try picking up L4D.
