By actually zooming in, aiming and picking off a target.

The FOV in some of those videos is making me nauseous

Never noticed how bad it was on the console versions

A lot of the interface stuff looks the same. I'm just glad the noobtube is nerfed and I heard something about a "Prestige shop" which sounds interesting. Maybe keeping certain weapons after prestige?

I'm happy for no Commando, no Last Stand and all the other annoying things, but I feel that the Quickscope thing could go away too.

It's not that I don't like it, but I like to play the sniper class as a sniper not running around with a .50 cal to do a spin and give an headshot. It's my only complain because it motivates people to try to get the last kill in a classy way in SnD for example and if they fail, the team lose.

EDIT: Oh and the auto-aim help a lot, I guess.

I wonder if anyone agree...

Honestly, Hardened edition off Amazon seems like a no-brainer.

I've already got a $20 gaming credit from pre-ordering Gears of War 3. If I put that towards Hardened, then it's only $79.99.

Unless I am mistaken, you get the game and one year of Elite in that package. Elite covers the cost of all DLCs for one year. So, in actuality, that's an amazing deal.

Quick scoping is fine if you don't have auto aim as a crutch. It's pretty clear it is one in CoD games.

It's funny it takes them two iterations to realize something is so broken they need to remove it.

Even though I want to buy through Amazon, I know I'm probably going to go to the Best Buy by my house at midnight. I could still pre order from Amazon to get the credit, and return the unopened copy to Best Buy. Ethical?

It looking very similar to MW2 should not be a surprise to anyone. Activision had to basically bring in the 2 studios they had on map pack duty for the Infinity Ward/Treyarch tag team to finish this game.

I'll definitely be buying it, but my expectations were scaled back when Vince Zampella and Jason West were fired from IW in early March of last year. I doubt they had much, if anything, done on MW3 at that point.

So is hardened 100 or 80? BB has it listed now for 80, which would be nice if I use it as one of the 5 for their $100 coupon deal.

I've seen the PS3 and 360 versions listed for $99 on Amazon. Best Buy could be trying to undercut or something.

Maybe it's full price but you get a $20 BB store credit?

Taking a look at how even the small things like that didn't change shows just how much of a fuck they gave here. I mean, the main new mode that they pushed was just TDM with the added "idea" of having to run over the the body you just killed to get points.

Listed straight up as 79.99, placeholder date of 12/31/11. If it's supposed to be 100 it's a goof, I suppose. If this is the standard price I'll definitely jump on it... just put a preorder in.

that's preaty much imposible in CoD, there are maybe 2-3 maps per game that have the line of sights for you to be able to play like this and they aren't popular for the same reason, without QS sniper rifles are preaty much useless in CoD and I say this as someone who has over 150h (I think) in MW2 and maybe 20 kills overall with a sniper

Seemed like there were way more hardscoping maps in MW2 than BLOPS.

So are killstreaks confirmed to stack in MW3 as in MW2?

This is what I like about the CoD series: The amount of weapons they offer. It's like gun porn in a sense.

What other series aside from Counter-Strike and Battlefield offers that much?

counterstrike offers much?

Its not COD weapons, I believe they are just weapons, you know, real.

Better than fighting with a explosive crossbow I guess.

In COD 4 you could be successful with a sniper rifle on Ambush, Backlot, Bloc (especially) Bog, Countdown, Crossfire, Overgrown and Pipeline.

In Blops you could be successful on Havana, Jungle, WMD and Crisis. All they have to do is cater the maps more to snipers in MW3, but instead they bring this back.

eh there was wasteland, that snow map (derail?) and I think highrise on certain spots maybe, kinda, but 2 days in everyone knows these spots and avoids them like the plauge, so it's hard to do anything decend with hardscoping, I mean, I am sure more maps had other sniping spots, but those can be learned very fast and are easy to flank, the only ones that seemed to be designed with sniping in mind are imo wasteland and derail (maybe forgot one)

don't know about the dlc ones

There was also Afghan.

But anyway, another question: does MW3 have performance unlocks like MW2 or is there a credit system like BLOPS?

Don't have a link but Robert Bowling said no credits. Unlock system similar to MW2.
