COD: Modern Warfare 3 ~ Begins 12:00 am, 11.08.2011

All these BF3 threads and nothing about the COD franchise? Dont get me wrong, I'm one of the biggest Battlefield fanboys out there, but I think MW3 is going to be pretty good (even if it's the same canned poo every year).

They've apparently done alot of revamping with the way character classes/points/killstreaks/etc. are handled. I've always been more of a support player (think teamplay in BFBC2/BF3), so I'm liking the fact that there will finally be other good ways of gaining exp/points instead of just racking up kills.

My biggest gripes from the older COD games are the noob tube and knifing BS. Hopefully they've slowed down the melee, put an end to those bastards that do nothing more than run the map with knife in hand :/

Im not going to buy mw3, instead I am just going to send them checks for $60, then $15, another $15 for the same game with minor changes and new maps...

[Zaximus]

I'm getting it tomorrow shipped, but kind of thinking I wasted $100 cause I'm loving bf3 so much.

[4Corners]

I'm gonna wait a couple weeks b4 I buy it.

[g5jamz]

50% discount? where.

used Black ops (one year later) are still $49 at Gamestop

[tarheelblue89]

I dont see how the fug people can pay $60 every single year for that poo. I love Call of Duty and I plan on getting MW3 eventually but it sure as hell won't be for $60 on release night. I'll wait 3 months and get a 50% off discount.

Because I enjoy playing it.

You call it "poo" yet go on to say you "love Call of Duty"?

[Mattiekrome]

It's taken the same path as the Madden franchise... more/less the same game every year, but they'll throw in a couple new things to get people to keep coming back. From what I've seen online, this one looks to be a bigger jump from Black Ops than Black Ops was from MW2... same basic idea, but a couple new twists on it.

fools and their money..

[Jackofalltrades]

I'll be in line at Game Stop tonight at 11:30, should get thru pretty quick since mines prepaid.

[YoungPanthers89]

meh, its pretty much mw2 with new maps/guns and a some sparkly stuff.

[iamcline]

I'll pass. MW2 was garbage, and this one will be garbage. Activision won't care because the sheep will line up without a hitch.

Infinity Ward (creators of MW2) didn't work on MW3.

false

People close to the matter said Infinity Ward is working closely with Sledgehammer, which is led by a team recruited away from Activision's rival Electronic Arts Inc. The two studios are equally sharing duties of producing the single-player portion of the game, the sources said.
