MW3 Attracts the 'stupid'

DS2 & BO are both 59,99€, tho.

Must be a regional difference then because they are all $59.99 USD here.

I bought the game for £37.99 installed it and can only play 38.2% on sp before it ctd's.

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...

Dunno actually how good a game it would be if it was about Winter War.

I mean, it was mainly a defensive war from the finnish POV, so it would be rather limited.

Continuation War might make a better game, ignoring the most awesome feature
it would have; StuGs for the Finns, it would allow both defensive and offensive
missions for both sides.

There actually was an fictional review of an fictional mod for Half-life or WWIIOL,
that I read from a finnish gaming magazine Pelit ages ago. Very good read it was,
sounded like a very cool mod, of course, if it would've been real. Sadly, I couldn't
find the article to translate.

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...

Co-Op is decent fun, other than that, it's not worth that much...

What's worse is that appears that BlackOps and MW3 have not only not addressed these problems, but have actually made them worse. The killstreaks are pretty ludicrous now from what I've seen - the game seems to increasingly encourage people to act out the "superhero" and screw any sort of actual teamwork.

Otherwise it's great to have nice cinematic games, but paying $60 for a few hours of play at best seems a bit ludicrous.

For me the peak of CoD games was the early games, especially the United Offensive expansion. Great set pieces, great atmosphere - and simple but effective multiplayer that was obviously meant to be secondary. I wish we could have that again...

Think what Lewis said in the Yogscast video Krauter posted on page 2 really sums it up:

"The game crashed at one point and it said Modern Warfare 2 has stopped working"

Which I think is bogus tbh, happened to me and it clearly said MW 3

Unless it said MW2 first and they fixed it before I had a chance to see it myself.

It was before one of the patches, my friend had the same problem. Playing along fine and then the modern warfare 2 has stopped working error

Just wanted to say, I picked up Red Orchestra 2 on steam the other day, and my hat's off to Tripwire. The level of stupification that Modern Warfare has , becomes patently obvious playing RO2.
