I absolutely loved MW1&2, so I am looking forward to getting this.

Edit: What JTP said about FPS' on a console too. PC is the only way to go with an FPS imo.

 

Hate CoD multiplayer (fuckin' camo. Whatever happened to good old fashioned Red vs. Blue teams, where I could actually see the enemy?), so I'll probably just grab this game for the SP if it's any good.

Oh, and PC of course. FPS on a console, pfft.

 

This was the first time I bought a CoD game on console out of preference. CoD5 & MW2 I bought on PC first and then later got them on console. Found them both more enjoyable there to be honest. So I'll be bashing some out on XBL later.

 

My xbox is dead. I could not be more raging right now.

 

I'm getting it now, and off to the dentist for a little surgery in about an hour. Hope I feel up to playing it when I get home.

Fast release though, less than 24 hours after the game goes for sale.

 

hahahahha why

 

god damn it, I so want to buy this and waste time on it. Instead I have to be an adult and take care of rl things.

 

I know how you feel man. I'm waiting for the new disk drive I ordered to come in. :/

 

Pretty sure they did this to reduce quickscoping. Treyarch often takes a wildly different approach than that of Infinity Ward so you'll see things that are definitely out of place to the Modern Warfare crowd.

For instance, the frag grenades are now more powerful than the semtex.

We buy the new COD because we want a change in content, not a change in mechanics, and tiny alterations like these can have drastic effects on the way the game is played. Sure some things need fixing from one game to another, but changing things that aren't broken is a bad habit that Treyarch nas never really gotten out of.

I also just hate Treyarch.

 

I don't play the MP aspect due to the camo issues (why can't I fucking SEE my goddamn opponent!?), but when I tried out MW2, I absolutely HATED the level system. Why should I have to play 50 hours to use a certain weapon? Why do I need to wait so long for a game to be fucking fun?

That's the one thing I like about this new CoD MP, the cash system. Play a certain amount, buy the weapon YOU want, not the one predetermined by the dev.

 

Ah I didn't know you had to unlock weapons still. Well fuck that then, I'm definitely not buying the game now.

As to trouble seeing people-Dude, the levels were often drab grey or bright green, with the people also being drab grey or bright green. If you play like how I play (moving constantly very quickly) it's often hard to see where people are, much less whether they're on your team (unless you watch about their heads for the names, which is a death sentence if you wait to check)

I'll stick to my old Q3 mods, the red/blue team never goes out of style there =D>

 

Pyro: Call of Duty has always tried to be as realistic as possible, Treyarch or not, and that's one of its major advantages over games like Quake and Halo to millions of people. The camouflage and lack of bright, ridiculous outfits and maps are a direct result of that and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I always feel like Treyarch works its ass off to bring back the old CoD2 style which Infinity Ward threw away during MW and MW2, but I really don't like the look to everything as much... I was watching my buddy play a few maps and it was as disappointing to me as WaW. Maybe I'm just too big of an Infinity Ward fan.

The changes in sniping seem completely retarded to me. I was a Kar98k and Mosin Nagant fan back in CoD2, R700 in MW and Intervention in MW2, and I'd get some sick scores on PC against players with MGs. Now it just seems pointless, unless the maps are so giant you can sit on one side and just blow through clips.

 

well they arent but there is some map with good high ground area you can hide and snipe off in hardcore mode. but in normal i don't recommend it because of killcam.

 

Yeah, the MP lag ranged from decent to unplayable yesterday. I probably won't put much more time into the game until they fix it. I don't particularly like dying due to being frozen. ~_~

Also, it's pretty damn retarded that you can't fire the Ballistic Knife while running. It's only utility ATM is stabbing people quickly. Hopefully there's a perk that can fix the running issue.
