I'm actually getting kinda excited for this. I'm a sucker, I know.

Was Combat Training or bots mentioned at all?

Nope. Pretty sure there isn't going to be combat training. That will make my brother sad. He has MS so his hands don't work quite like they should. He doesn't like playing against humans but he got a lot of use out of combat training.

what exactly does Elite get you? I haven't been following it at all

 

[Mastadon]

Has split screen multiplayer been confirmed?

I hope not

=/ why?

That sounds kinda reasonable actually

 

[Lionheart1827]

I hope not

Ditto.

CODplayer 10-12
CODplayer(1) 1-25

I always imagined two friends playing and one friend just doesnt want to play and just puts the controller down, giving the other team easy kills. Terrible.

 

[Brian Fellows]

All DLC content. Some of which you will get earlier.(apparently this will be more than just map packs)
Access to tournaments and contests for real money and prizes
Access to a couple of shows. One done by Ridley and Tony Scott. The other is by Michael and G.O.B. Bluth

I'm sure there is more but I'm blanking right now.

I don't think split screen players are inherently more likely to be shit. Plenty of solo players go 1-25, just depends on the player.

That sucks I am sorry to hear that, hopefully they at least add bots to the offline private matches.

I think it is worse on the PS3 where they don't have dual login.

 

[Gaogaogao]

I am disappointed by the lack of dual mags and bayonets

The amount of split screen players I see end up going negative is much higher than the ones that do well. I'm cool with it though, lets people play together if they're on the same console.

But, it makes the framerate unstable as fuck, and you see less on a smaller screen. I would much rather just trade off playing every round.

It would be cool if two people could login and then switch between names in the lobby between matches. That way two people could play on one console using their own names and a full screen.

 

[Kingsora]

So what about the multiplayer with 32 players online. Any word on if it was true or not?

Huh, guess I've never really noticed. I play mainly split screen and we always do pretty well. My TV is a decent size though, which I guess helps.

 

[nomis]

That's all I needed to see.

A skilled player shoot a guy with a gun? That happens to be a sniper? OH NO.

probably fake, ui looks a lot different

Same here. Hell, it's easy for us to communicate with each other, since we're sitting next to each other. lol

 

[wonderdung]

Is there a difference? Wouldn't you just be less aware of split-screeners if they could dual login?

 

[ZROCOOL]

Still going on?

 

[jgminto]

I hope they at least have one splitscreen playlist. Just a TD variant at least. I usually play on my own but my brother and I enjoy playing together sometimes. At least there's Spec Ops and survival now.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Archived version of the multiplayer keynote?

 

[Brian Fellows]

I just think you end up with a lot more people who don't play the game(or games in general) when they don't even have to have a PSN login to play.

 

[legacyzero]

Really wish they'd have brought back the M40 Sniper. Gun was a dream.

 

[buhdeh]

I pre-ordered this game back in April... now starting to feel like I should cancel it after seeing this reveal. I mean I don't play enough to really need Elite and it sounds like they're going to add way more DLC this time around (which I never buy). None of the new additions in the multiplayer really seem interesting either.

 

[Anton Sugar]

I'm a little worried about the knife being mightier than the gun as it's been a problem in every game in the series and it looks like it is still a fucking problem after all this time as you can see in this video starting at 45 secs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ERCEFj6XQE

The guy gets shot point fucking blank but is still able to knife the guy?

Not trying to derail, but I really like BF3's solution. It gives danger to using your knife. In the COD series and even BC2, you may have a small delay, but in close quarters, it's more feasible to do a OHK than to aim/shoot. In BF3, can only get one hit knife kills from behind, but it plays an animation so you're vulnerable. From the front, it takes two slashes.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Random question. I see spec ops, but they've mainly been focused on survival. Did they say if they were going to include as many spec op missions as MW2 had, or more?

 

[Untracked]

45 minutes of MW3 gameplay:

Nice tour of Create-a-Class in there.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Weapon sway confirmed omg

 

[JonCha]

Is hit detection actually consistent now? That short vid suggests so.

 

[Lionheart1827]

I believe all they said was survival as well as missions will be available. They haven't elaborated on how many missions there will be. I do know that Bowling said all 16 maps will be playable in Spec ops survival I think, but thats really it.

 

[Animator]

Ahahahahaha


Aim assist = skilled player

goddamn you are hilarious.

 

[DRE Fei]

It looks like the Barrett and the L118A bolt action (basically the L96A1 from black ops) are available from the start for all you 360 no-scopers out there.

Also in the 45 minute video they said once you complete all the challenges for the guns, you unlock gold camo. The other camos are the same ones from MW2 though. So lame. I wonder if the golden deagle from cod4 is in the game.

 

[snack]

I like how MW3 reminds me of MW2. Black Ops graphics just didn't cut it for me.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Ahahahahaha

goddamn you are hilarious.

Because cod is totally the only game with aim assist.

 

[madmaxx350]

Ahahahahaha

yea I'm taking it you don't play on Consoles eh?

that was Black Ops, that's all that need to be said.

 

[LeMaximilian]

Holy fuck. Just watched the Gamespot bit.

Support even if you die your killstreak continues?! That's crazy.

 

[Jarmel]

so predator missles, deathstreaks, and heartbeat sensor are back?

*miz voice* really? really?

This. What the fuck. Has NOBODY learned from Black Ops and the horrible game that is MW2?

 

[The Xtortionist]

So is it still possible to choose between the CoD4 and MW2 RDS?

And the new M4 sound effect is AMAZING

 

[madmaxx350]

Holy fuck. Just watched the Gamespot bit.

the thing is though they dont' seem to have any offensive killstreaks.

 

[crimzonflame]

Where can I read more about the perks?

Yeah this is the way it SHOULD be. My thought is that essentially the knife does 99/100 damage. If your opponent is flashed, had a bullet put into him etc, but not dead, you can OHK with the knife, otherwise it should be two. And as mentioned, from behind should just be one hit. Seems so silly that if someone is putting bullets into you from a few feet away that you'd be able to pull out a knife and kill them instantly. I know it's not reality etc, but still!

 

[Jarmel]

If advanced UAV is anything like Blackbird, there doesn't need to be an offensive killstreak.

Edit:WTF! They took out Marathon and Lightweight? What is this shit?

 

[DRE Fei]

The only thing I want to know is if people using the assassin perk will show up on advanced UAV. If they do, then it's support killstreak loadout for me all day erry day.

 

[essyouemeight]

1. Die until you get advanced UAV
2. Profit

 

[rezuth]

Maraton is now a weapons perk
