MW3 Attracts the 'stupid'

Quote:

A leaked copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has been sold on eBay for $1,725.

Unauthorized copies of the game were mistakenly released into the wild this week, when a retailer placed the game on sale. MW3 is not due to be officially released until November 8th.
The worst part is that with shipping, the game probably wont get to his house until the 8th or later. :haha:

I know I'm quite eager to play Skyrim, but I wouldn't pay nearly two thousand dollars to get the game 4 days before release.

I'll bet this old gem is still on the mark about what to expect from yet another COD: Modern warfare title.

Why anyone would pay that kinda money for another COD title is beyond me.

Thread title says it all! :har:

Title describes 90% of MW3 players:haha:

MW3 Attracts the 'stupid'
That is so true:yep:. Only problem with them is they don't spend 100% of their time online -- they somehow seem to find the time to hang around on places like YT, flaming every other FPS game on the market. Makes me want to buy BF3 just to piss them off:DL.

Looks like MW3 also attracts the criminals: :arrgh!:

Armed robbers steal 6000 copies of Modern Warfare 3


In France, two masked men armed with tear gas and knives stole a truck thought to contain around 6000 copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
French news channel TF1 (translated by Eurogamer) claimed that at 8am Sunday morning, 10km south-east of Paris, a car crashed into a van containing unspecified video game cargo worth €400,000.



The two men driving the van left the vehicle to "make a report" - presumably phone emergency services. It was then they were reportedly sprayed with tear gas by two men whose faces were obscured. The criminals then climbed into the van holding the video game cargo and fled.



A subsequent report by AFP revealed the €400,000 cargo to be copies of Modern Warfare 3. Mathematically, this was said to represent 6000 copies of Modern Warfare 3, or thereabouts.

I've read somewhere it was two 14 year olds, and they were camped waiting for the van for the last wek!

:D



Tongue firmly planted in BF3's cheek!


That sounds so wrong now I've read it back! :o

I was just remembering how I used to like the COD series over the MOH series... but that was back when both series were firmly implanted in WW2.

Nowadays, i regret buying any Modern warfare title, and am certainly NOT going to buy any more of them. They're all the same.

Same, COD1, UO and COD2 were nice. World at war was kinda good too, didn't
like the pacific bits, but the ETO bits were mostly well made. :hmmm:

kiwi_2005 11-08-11 04:45 PM

COD2 is a favorite for me., never tried the MW series but seeing many MW players are dumping their COD & switching to BF 3 says it all.

I liked Word at war for the theater, (I mean, seriously, anything PTO is cool because their rarely made) but I thought the gameplay was on the cusp of getting a little more hyperactive then i care for. I never much cared for hyperactive in my older age. In particular grenade spam. I think the pace I like is about perfect illustrated in OLDER versions of Day of Defeat mod for HL1 before it was moved to the source engine and speed up a little bit.


EDIT:
One thing i never liked about the COD series in general. It never allows you to take cover for very long. The game FORCES you to move forward, or you get a rain of grenades into your position. And yet, if you move forward, you get shot to pieces. The death screen and that whistling sound in the background, represents 50% of what I see in COD. You can't get tactical at all, its all rush rush rush.. hunker down and the game flush's you out. I hate that.

Guess it's personal preference then. To me, the PTO felt a bit repetitive,
then again, ETO's been done to death in WWII games, so. :DL

Couldn't agree more (scary ain't it? :O:), HL1's DoD was and still is one of my
favorite WWII online shooters. Dod_Caen + Kar98K = :yeah:

WTF is Modern Warfare 3? by TotalBiscuit

TotalBiscuit takes an extended look at the multiplayer (let's be honest,
the singleplayer might as well not even exist) of the annual shooter series, Call of Duty.

Ducimus 11-08-11 06:16 PM

I think the most entertaining part of MW3, is probably this trailer, and how ridiculous it is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuzaxlddWbk

While I laughed my ass off, it only reinforced my opinion of the modern warfare series. Which is to say, it is a big heaping pile of excrement.

EDIT:

BTW, i noticed on steam the entire Arma 2 series is on sale for 50% off.

OUCH. Looks like more consoleized garbage.

Factor 11-09-11 03:18 PM

I don't see the fascination with this game series. I mean 65 million people play this mindless garbage. I dont know, maybe I am getting old.

7 billion people in the world...
Over 65 million Modern Warfare players...

I AM THE 99%

:haha:

The site I write for is running a competition (Euro only) for a free copy, if its of any interest to anyone:
http://www.allaboutthegames.co.uk/fe...ticle_id=12209

Not my cup of tea but free game is free game!:rock:

It saddens me that 90% of the people that are playing Modern warfare 3, or are going to play it, know for a fact that it's a rehash more or less of MW2.


And still this game will sell more copies than the bible

Biggles 11-09-11 08:23 PM

My verdict on MW3?

SP: Took me three hours. Shortest of the three games...way to short. Had it's moments of fun action, but still...
Graphics: Somehow, they manage to make the game look even worse than its predecessor, which I suppose is an achievement in itself.
Sounds: God Awful. Apart from some heavily scripted parts of the SP.
MP: God Awful. Just like MW2.
Co-Op: Here is where I'll get my money's worth (as I expected). Tons of fun actually, since you are cooperating with someone, rather than the dreadful business of MP. As said in WTF is MW3: "There isn't really any teamwork, you just let the other guys go ahead so they get shot first..." Had great fun so far, expect to spend quite some time at this mode.

MP really is a joke, just as MW2. The fact that you have to level up just so you can play CTF for example...:nope:

I hate it when games do that.

It's the same thing as releasing a game and on release day, they release a DLC.

NO ! release the full game on release, don't make us pay more just because you feel like it :(

and they wonder why so many games are pirated, I'm not even a little curious about MW3, not one iota of this garbage money grabbing thing they call a game will make me buy it.

Releasing a new version of a game every year is just too damn fast in my opinion, they have been running the same engine now for 3/4 versions, do something new.

And also, MW3 is the only game on steam that's 60 bucks i think

Why? everything always has been 50 bucks for PC, what makes you so special MW3?

Sorry for my little rant here but I'm just so annoyed that this game is selling so much, every year and people still don't know it's the same damn game :(

Sigh..
