Do you think maybe they put in a point system for killstreaks, meaning you retain the points if you die, but, the points for big killstreaks will be very high like 20, so you can only get a big killstreak maybe once a match if anything?
So say you get like 20 points(20 kills) in a game, 20 points is a Pavelow but say you want to use your UAV streak, it takes away and you only have 17 in your pool. So if you use your pavelow, you have to get more points to use other killstreaks.
Dont mind me, just rambling.

Sounds pretty good so far.
I'm more optimistic about this than I thought I would be. Maybe MW2 won't be the last great COD game.

I can see why people would like this trailer but I just can't buy the same damn game again. Three times was enough, won't do it four times.

Bit unfortunate that the first MP footage they show is that of an explosive device...bit of humour intended there maybe.

I'm sure the campaign will be terrible as usual but the multiplayer should be addictive as usual.
I like the look of the map on the HUD, sort of a top down 3D look, I can't wait for the reveal.

Yeah, right. Everything has been fixed and it's completely balanced now. Like we haven't heard that before. I'm going to buy this at least 3 months after launch, if people are still excited at that point. Not falling for their PR bullshit again after Modern Warfare 2.

Dogs were in MW2. I remember them from the stage where you are chasing that guy down and have to shoot him in the leg, i think it was right before the Favela portion of the campaign.

how do you feel about Zelda?

Pretty shitty comparison, at least the Zelda games add in all kinds of new gameplay mechanics, change up their visuals, etc.

We probably won't get any additional info on MP until the XP event.TacticalFox88 said:
Regarding killstreaks, I like the speculation of kills counting as 1 and objectives counting as 2. It looks like it keeps track of how many killstreak points you've accumulated in the bottom right corner. Maybe it will allow you to use those points any way you choose. Like maybe being able to throw up multiple UAVs in the same life if you have enough points.
Also, I hope those armory icons can be turned off. There is no need to have three big red icons constantly showing on screen. Once you learn the map, you don't need that.

I happen to love both, I just don't get people that claim its the same game over and over. the same can be said for gears of war.

Nah brah,cod is literally the same game and look. Even the hud doesn't look that much different. Also zelda,gears,etc doesn't come out nearly as often.

It does come out every year though, Zelda has like 5 years between an iteration, Gears has 3, it's expected people will shit on COD more for it. And you can also factor in the length and quality of the campaigns.JetBlackPanda said:
I like both series too btw.

Bring on the damn juggernauts. My favorite spec ops from MW2 is still "high-explosive" where u have to take out like 10 of them using only explosives. This looks awesome.

Brah? wtf?
anyways I will give you that it comes out way to often.

It does come out too often.
That said, CoD has really only been recycling the same formula since 2007.
Zelda has been recycling the same formula since 1998!
BTW, does anybody know when us pleebs will be able to pre-order the damn Hardened edition?

In all seriousness this game is dead to me without Combat Training. Best part of Blops.

JetBlackPanda said:
Well come on, you can look at the footage of the game and it looks identical to the last one. You can't say that for a zelda title, and each zelda adds new obvious gameplay changes and features, along with having more time between releases. Recycling formula with Zelda? To a degree of course, but not the same thing at all. Pokemon is a better comparison

Sounds to me like you've never played a COD. If you think they are exactly the same... you're either blind, on drugs, or just talking about something you don't know aboutSyphon Filter said:
MW2, Blops and MW3 look as much as each other as the Gears, Pokemon or Uncharted series.

The issue I had with the BLOPS maps was the lack of verticallity. Verticallity is a key ingredient to ANY mp fps game and the best way to add variety and spice up maps. It takes talent to implement, but that's the point. Treyarch simply doesn't have the creative drive or talent to put 3 floor in a space, but insisted on having 2 on every...single...map and it made every single map play feel like each other.
Also, not to put fuel on the fire, but there were more changes made to MW2 compared to COD4 than Twilight Princess to OOT. The amount of time between 1 game and it's sequel has nothing to do with anything. It's all about mentality. It's all about experimentation. And, in terms of gameplay, turning something non cartoony to cartoony without changing much of anything else means nothing.
The Treyarch games on the other hand...(and possibly mw3)...well, yeah. My hopes are not up. This very well might be the first IW COD that brings nothing new to the table, like a Zelda game but coming out sooner and thus unable to disguise the lack of experimentation and creativity with half glass full but-it-looks-different fanbase memory.

So.. at 4 "points" or whatever he gets that fugly ass explosive device. What is that? Is it something real? Looks like it would be incredibly easy to spot and avoid.
And JUGGERNAUT streak award! **** yes. Going to be amazing. And you can finally skip one streak award to activate another.

Some of you guys are ridiculous. The last COD game came out in 2009, two years ago. The one before that was released in 2007. If one game every two years is too much for you, I sure hope you bitch equally about the Uncharted or Halo series.

They're making the game together without assigning specific parts to IW or SH, they just fly the people they need from one team to the other since they're relatively close.Jibbed said:
Link to the interview with Schofield btw i don't think Raven has anything to do with MW3.
The problem with verticallity is that it's hard to implement.Mr. B Natural said:
For one, it's harder to control on a console because of the controller. Another (bigger) reason is that your screen is 16:9 panoramic on the horizontal line, so you get much less vertical space than horizontal. Usually when you can see a small building from side to side, you can only see one or two floors, so if you have someone on a third floor, you have to look up and be unable to look at the door anymore, whereas if you have tons of windows on the first or second floor, you can look at most of them at the same time without moving the camera so much.
Another reason is that when you look up and stop seeing the floor, it's easier to get your position wrong and stop knowing where's top, where's down, front, back, etc.. It's hard to explain, but basically if you stop being able to see the floor, you might go a bit crazy for a second (this doesn't happen to everyone, but probably many people here has been in a situation where you were looking top or down while shooting at someone from very close and suddenly not knowing where you were looking at for like a second, until you move the camera around again.
That's why most games usually don't have much verticallity when it comes to FPS or even some TPS games like Uncharted (for the multiplayer maps for example, they have more verticallity than many FPS but still less than if you compare it to the campaign levels).

For me, knife runners in addition to Commando/Commando Pro ruined MW2 for me. I enjoyed playing the game, but fuck me if the knife runner/commando combo didn't make me rage hard. So glad IW got that perk the fuck out of MW3. Had no business being there in the first place. Glad air support seems to be toned down a bit as well.
Nice job with the thread, Strider!

I really don't even know what to say. That's completely ridiculous. You should play a game with laser rifles if you want laser accuracy.
Meh footage did little for me, the environments outside of that giant radar dome looked rather bland and uninspired. The levels seemed flat mostly and I was never much of a fan of the 'wave' gameplay to begin with. This is hardly a COD thing, it seems to me that many shooters released this year are just not up to par. It might be lower budgets or rushed development but still a weird trend given the focus on FPS games these days.

Ok so in that screen, right on the Dpad to activate the Juggernaut award, down to select the predator award, but what would up do?

Knives and explosives being nerfed is a step in the right direction. There are almost no gun battles in MW2 anymore.
I would also like them to build rooms so there are no or few blind corners when you go through doorways.
