I've been keeping an open mind about this game but aside from different maps this looks almost identical to MW2

Some screenshots, the originals are HUGE, so I downsized them the only way I know of.

[Hey You]

I wasn't planning on getting MW3 and I was just gonna play BLOPS till the second one came out, but damn seeing all the details has sucked me in.

 

[Pranay]

Those screenshots look quite good

Just some impressions (I actually watched that whole 45-minute Gamespot video):

- I like the more minimal HUD. Yeah, it's virtually the same as MW2's, but the info that pops up on your screen is less gaudy and oversized (like the name of the player that captured a flag, the icon/prompt for the streak you just earned, etc.).
- No TAR-21 is a huge bummer. Hopefully one of the new ARs will have a similar feel, or maybe the ACR will get an upgrade in damage.
- Deathstreaks are still stupid, but mostly harmless — looks like they took out Painkiller, the most annoying one.
- The different "strike packages" are pretty significant, but will anyone EVER choose Support? Will some gametypes make it a requirement? This could really have an effect on teamwork, for better or worse.
- Leveling up even weapons now really makes this Super Bar Filler Turbo HD '12.
- Glad to see that the points system from Black Ops was eliminated (wasn't expecting IW to carry on with much of what Treyarch did anyway). Hopefully that means the unique challenges are back for unlocking titles, emblems, etc. It gives players more incentive to mix things up and take chances in-game.
- I'm glad that things like OMA, nukes, etc. have been removed, but with all of the new stuff they've added, I feel like there's still opportunities for there to be some game-breaking stuff. I wonder how significant some Proficiencies will be when combined with certain perks?

Ultimately, I like what I've seen so far. I guess that makes me a pathetic dudebro "sheep" or something according to most of GAF, but whatever.

What's this "kill confirmed"-thing?

 

[Raide]

What's this "kill confirmed"-thing?

You only get +1 point to the Team Total if you kill and collect their floating Dogtag. I guess they are trying to cut down on people just running and gunning, instead they run, gun, collect stuff, run and gun again.

 

[spindoctor]

What's this "kill confirmed"-thing?

You can kill someone with guns but you only get points if you run over his dead body and collect the dog tags that he will drop. Likewise, if you run over a dead team mate's body and collect his dog tag, you'll prevent the enemy team from getting the points.

 

[fierrotlepou]

At least it doesn't look as laggy as Black Ops. Although it's xbox footage. Framerate was incredibly bad on PS3.

 

[Dabanton]

Can't wait to try Kill Confirmed.

 

[legacyzero]

As long as they put out mod tools on PC, they've secured two sales from me.

 

[buy teh haloz]

I'm kind of disappointed that they've reverted to only giving you two spare magazines instead of three.

Can't wait to try Kill Confirmed.

I wanna pick up them tags!

I swear to god if that won't make people pull out the god damned AA class nothing will

 

[RedSwirl]

Have I already talked about this here (I can't find the post)? I'm seriously thinking about jumping on MW2 for $15 on Steam, and I'm not sure why.

COD4 on PC is still as enjoyable as ever. I got BLOPS on a deal for basically nothing because I wanted something a little more balanced and less hectic, but Treyarch did a shit job of optimizing it for PC.

I haven't played MW2 since a PS3 rental around the time it came out almost two years ago. Does any part of the game hold up? I never even touched Spec Ops mode. I don't know when or if I will buy MW3.

Spec-Ops is amazing with a friend, but MW2 is far less balanced and far more hectic than Blops in multiplayer.

I wanna NOT pick up them tags so I can rack up more kills!

Spec Ops was garbage because you could only play with one friend.

So is there any site I can visit that has collected all the info they can regarding guns/maps/attachments/etc....?

I think the idea is to encourage run and gunning.

Okay. I just gave in. Preordered the Hardened edition for $95. Take my money!

Someone has to collect, else you get no points. I can see it being a great game for a Rambo player to sprint around the map killing everyone and 1 playing laughing as they play street cleaner and collect tags.

Now combine it with those Gun Match things in Blops and you might have something a bit more interesting.

Yeah I saw that yesterday in my sub box and I came.

So are you going to wait until the perks are officially released, or is that for another video?

41% off the DLC is not that bad if you were planning on getting it anyway.

 

[Stallion Free]

Spec Ops was garbage because you could only play with one friend.

So by your metric, all 2 player co-op is garbage?

Yes

Basically none of my Steam friends plays MW2, so I can count that out.

Then pass on it.

 

[TestOfTide]

I think everyone that says that it LOOKS like MW2 are missing the point about this game. The focus wasn't on taking MW2 and improving the graphics. It was on taking the game and making the gunplay feel better.

In MW2, your choices were simply the weapons and their attachments. In MW3, you can choose how the gunplay feels by choosing whether to reduce the sway, reduce the kick, or keep the sway and kick in exchange for dual attachments, or faster melee, etc. Like in CoD4, the feel for the SMGs is going to be different from the ARs and the LMGs will feel like more than slow ARs.

no dual shotguns was already confirmed

 

[Polydeuces]

Seeing as there is a prestige shop, I wonder how many times you can prestige in MW3.... But then again, having to go through 80 levels just to earn a prestige.....

 

[Anton Sugar]

Shit. I'll pay $15 for Spec Ops.

 

[Enosh]

don't know where else to put this (well new thread might be an idea), but this is awesome

Grab double XP after your first prestige to make it less painful.

Is that the full price for hardened?

 

[kamspy]

Gonna need a FOV slider for that.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I'm not familiar with Amazon that much. Can I use the $20 credit I got with Gears 3 on the Hardened edition? They don't have any rules about using those credits on limited/special editions?

 

[Nelo Ice]

Pre-order Gears of War 3 and get $20 off a future video game purchase

that means the credit works on any game LE or not.

only difference would be if it says $20 off anything on amazon and if its just general promo credit then the only exclusions would be on kindles and other things im forgetting.

http://www.imodernwarfare3.com/modern-warfare-3-prestige-rewards-shop/
Has the number of prestiges been confirmed yet? Looking at the "prestige shop", possibly more than 10? The extra custom class reward I'm guessing can be used at least 5 times (possibly more), but what about something like double xp or stat reset? I'm also curious about this "unlock gear" reward.

 

[Stallion Free]

So according to a leaked achievements list, there are 48 stars in spec-ops mission would which means there are only 16 missions. That's kind of disappointing after there were 23 in MW2. Maybe this time they will actually release expansions for it though.
