Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Hype/News/Info Thread (PC Dedicated Servers)

The street date for the game has been broken in some areas. I found a guy willing to sell me a copy tomorrow for $170. I might bite if I'm able to play the multiplayer.

Like, you seriously you can't wait a few days instead of overpaying. Looking to get burned out before the game even comes out.

hahaha you're joking right????
 
As someone who never played World at War before, the way Treyarch handled DLC in this fucking hideous. If you don't have DLC, it still throws you in lobbies with other DLC owners and just shits you back to the lobby? Not only that, but it automatically opens a marketplace content list to nudge you into buying the DLC. Shameful shit.

I did get a laugh though that you can buy World at War from Games on Demand for a cheaper price ($20/1600MS) than the DLC bundle of all the maps ($25/2000MS).

Let me repeat: The actual game costs less than the DLC. Hideous.

Nope dead serious. Cod is the only game that I play anymore and having the game early will let me enjoy it before any exploits are discovered. Plus it'll be nice to have a competitive edge.

Apparently, you can use a nuke in private matches. :lol

EDIT: According to the person who posted the video, it works differently from the MW2 nuke.

OH MY GAWD YES. Don't know how they could tell if it only works in private since the servers aren't up yet.

Also, he got a challenge when he hit the button. I don't know of any private match challenges in COD games?

Holy crap, Activision pulled the nuke video already, and it had less than a thousand hits.

They might be wanting to save this one as a launch surprise.

Is it really that big a deal that they're being so tight on it. I find that a bit weird.

I think it is. For myself personally, it's huge. MW2 had this element of magic to it because of the nuke when the game first came out. A prestigious symbol of your skill that everyone in a match was forced to watch...it was pretty cool.

It went to shit later down the line, when they became easy to get...but regardless, I was upset that MW3 lacked a 'prestigious killstreak'. It's just something to have as a goal, or get insanely excited about...and it's in MW3, and it's going to be hard as hell to get since it's a 25 streak of gun kills only. Essentially, the Specialist is going to be the best way to get this.

I can't wait to start making videos o _o

I wouldn't get your hopes up. They've inexplicably said that there was no nuke in this game, there were challenges in the combat training and offline mp portions of Black Ops so they're probably doing something similar.

yeah but if it's only for private matches it doesn't seem like a big deal.

ah maybe they just went on a spree

I hope the nuke is limited to private matches only. I'd hate to see them bring that back and give people more reasons to camp instead of playing the objective.

its a split screen game. split screen is like LAN and LAN had leveling up in MW2. So it may be possible, that this Bomb (it's at least no game ending nuke) is also public online.

But what me bothers more. if there is again unlocking and ranking up in LAN Mode, bye bye CoD at LAN Events... No more MLG :(

Nukes aren't in public games, that's been confirmed many times.
Does anyone have the nuke video above? I'd like to see what it looks like this time around.

Where are all the PC screens? it's 8 days before release, surely no one is going to steal their zomg gr4phixs/ development ideas etc this late in the game. It's done, on crates and in trucks in warehouses throughout the world.

Why no PC media? I'm still seriously considering picking up the PC version. The lack of screens is a little disheartening.

Regarding the tokens from prestiging in previous games…
 
Can I use all of them once I prestige in MW3 or is it limited to one per prestige?  (ie. prestige level 1 use a token, prestige level 2 use second token and so on?)

Bowling said "there's no game ending nuke" or "no game ending killstreaks" ... he also said that there is no last stand, but final stand comes back ... so i don't give much on their word...

video:

I was just about to post how I remember him saying the nuke wasn't 'game ending'. Also, I don't think the ranked servers are up yet, as they usually don't go live till a few days prior to release.

He's posted or tweeted something equivalent to 'No nuke in mw3' many times.
On reddit: robert bowling AMA

On twitter: "Lots of false #MW3 info being reported as fact. There is no Stopping Power, OMA, Commando, or Nukes. Beyond that, you’ll have to wait & see."
There's been more that I've seen, but I don't have the links.

Either way, I'm pumped for Mw3, next Tuesday can't come soon enough!
And final stand != last stand.. when you have to die 4 times to use it and it's not called Painkiller, it doesn't bother me.
