MW3 Attracts the 'stupid'

[Factor]

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.

The site I write for is running a competition (Euro only) for a free copy, if its of any interest to anyone:

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

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...

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..

Exactly why I didn't buy it.

People will buy it for the name itself, but after the Treyarch piece of crap rehash called Black Ops, I refuse to give this company my money, even if Infinity Ward splashed their name on it.

I don't care how many jeep commercials they show trying to cross promote...

I refuse to buy a game (10$ more than other new releases) just because they are still living off the fame MW2 gave them.

I miss the old WW2 based CoDs, I was a beast with a m1 Garand.

Nope, Skyrim, Dungeon Siege 2, Rage, and even CoD:Black Ops are all 60 dollars.

Frankly any game company that sets their price to that much is a corrupt game company and not worthy of me buying their games. (Not that I can afford them anyways)

Modern Warfare 3 - 59,99€
Skyrim - 49,99€
Rage - 49,99€

DS2 & BO are both 59,99€, tho.

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

What I would like to see as a new game, is the Winter War 1939-1940, as I read how fierce the fighting was, and the tactics were. I have visited the War museum in Suomussalmi. I am sure Dowly will agree this would make a great FPS.

Whilst I don't doubt that MW3 bears as much resemblance to Modern Warfare as My Little Pony does to Horse of the Year Show, it does look quite a lot of fun, cinematically speaking anyway...

The single player in virtually all CoD games is indeed well done cinematically speaking, but the main problem is that it's been paid less and less attention to over time. MW3, from what I hear, is the shortest CoD single-player game yet. The game has become all about its increasingly mind-numbing, lowest-common-denominator-serving multiplayer.

Yep, nice to look at but shorter and shorter. It seems to be about rehashing the MP success of MW4, when that is all that it is, a rehashing.

It still doesn't address the killstreak perks ruining the (mp) game, encouraging people to camp, rather than....I dunno...Capturing the flag/ strategic points, or protecting the HQ.

Just saying. If people just played and didn't worry about stats it might be fun.

I left this game (CoD in general) when my whole team hid to camp, leaving me to capture points on my own, while they worked on thier chopper gunner or nuke...Multiple times, with multiple teams...
