Maybe they will upgrade the graphics this time...

Dont get me wrong, I LOVE 60 FPS in shooters, but is it really a necessity? BF and Halo have proven that you can look great AND play great without it.

....right?

I guess it depends, some people care more about graphics some others don't, I personally do and I love 60 FPS (PC Gamer here) but the "necessity" comes in when things start looking dated and other games are looking better.

But since it's CoD they don't give a shit since they know the game will sell anyways.
 
Warhawk 3....believe. (there have been 2 already...could happen... :/ )

I found Mw2 to be such a clusterfuck online, that if they don't realize the treyarch version are better thought out in some areas of multiplayer, I'll wait for blops 2.

I really did prefer WaW and Blops to their MW counterparts, I know Im not alone...

Modern Warfare 1 beats both hands down. WaW and Blops both had features I wish IW would integrate but after the whole fallout at IW I have lost interest in the MW series completely. BF3 coming out only reinforces my indifference to the MW series.
 
They dropped Call of Duty for 2, it's gotten so big, they can even drop Modern Warfare for 3. We'll all be playing "3", the other games with superfluously long and descriptive and/or evocative names can go home now.
 
Hmm, be interesting if it is up to scratch after the bail out. Bet it cannot make a Nov release date, which would be great justice against He-Who-Shall-not-Be-Named.

Modern Warfare 2 was still called Call of Duty, and now they won't drop the CoD or MW branding. But if they do it right in terms of marketing, they can make the "3" iconic enough to be the main branding of the experience.

It will launch in november like always.

Multiplayer done by Treyarch, singleplayer done by Infinity Ward with a subscription allowing for a new MP map every month (which is what Raven and Neversoft is helping with), and for those that don't want the subscription, there will be quarterly DLC packs with the maps released.

Subscribers gets the maps earlier, and will gain additional things like more slots for classes, unique emblems and double CoD points plus more.
 
My local GAME store is taking pre-orders for 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3".

I went into the store and I asked in a shocked way "What, is this real or did you guys just make it up because there is a COD game expected to come out"

The store guy said, no - apparently they announced it to retail partners but they haven't announced it on the net yet - "I follow the game industry on the net like a religion" he says.

I said, "well I'm certain that there has been no announcement of Modern Warfare 3 anywhere so this is a bit of a surprise to me".

He says "it was a surprise for me too, but that's the word from head office".

The moral of my story? Well... did anybody doubt that it would happen?

Then shall we see "Slightly Future Warfare", "More Slightly Future Warfare", "Future Warfare" "Yonder Future Warfare", "Well Yonder Warfare" I wonder what Treyarch will make next considering I doubt they'll go back to WW2.

Personally - it will be the first for me in a long time, but I sort of kind of doubt that I'm going to buy a COD game this year... that's interesting to hear myself say and think, but if it's still running on the same old engine and is the same old game with some tweaks and changes and not a drastic evolution, then I'm totally not interested.

Who knows though, it might be a serious evolution.
 
This can only mean one thing...

Though Reach suffered greatly from an unstable framerate, especially in Multiplayer.

Modern Warfare 3 vs Battlefield 3 vs Gears of War 3 vs Uncharted 3 vs Resistance 3

The battle of the 3's this fall, I personally will be getting into Uncharted 3 multiplayer (it also helps that the game will likely also have the best campaign).

Don't forget Half-Life 3!

...oh...

If they did a Call of Duty 3, as a sequel of Call of Duty 2, set in WWII... only on PC... glory days
 
The chances of me buying a CoD game are zero. But, I am interested in seeing if this game represents (in any form) a departure from the original formula of the series.

Excellent!


In a sense, Mass Effect is a bit like the futuristic shooter, but when I look out onto the market and think about how REAL WORLD future warfare will happen for soldiers I can't help but think there isn't a shooter that fits that mould.

Red Faction? Yeah... not really, it's a bit far-fetched and crazy in many ways.

Halo? Maybe, but it's based way out in Space against Aliens... I don't think Humans will find Aliens unless we can create some sort of FTL travel... but is that possible in Physics? Anyway... even Halo doesn't feel 'future / sci-fi' enough for me, I mean the weapons are all the same and I suppose some of the covenant stuff is futuristic, but it doesn't fit with what I'm trying to describe.

I don't think it's the evolution of futuristic weapons that I'm talking about, although rather than gunpowder I would expect us to use magnetic railgun type weapons eventually... lasers? Perhaps...

Crysis? Yeah - that's probably a decent example of the direction I'm thinking of (actually many people have said that Crysis 2 could fit if it was called "Call of Duty: Future Warfare".

So, I think Ghost Recon Future Warfare definitely seems on the right track (the quote "each soldier is equivalent of an F16 fighter jet" I like the idea of that.

But currently? I don't believe there is a futuristic warfare game yet, and to be honest I think that is a big opportunity for whoever goes there first.

Modern Warfare games are getting tired out like WW2 era was and have and something new needs to come about and I certainly think it's Future Warfare that will be the big appealing factor. Honestly I think Infinity Ward and Activision are silly to make 'Modern Warfare 3', though I suppose they are saving 'Future Warfare' for when sales of the Modern Warfare games start to waver a little. Just wish they'd do it now.

Battlefield 2142, yeah... but nah - the soldiers individually aren't powerful enough. Crysis is on the right track though (I just said about that I think there isn't a futuristic warfare game yet but I think I'm wrong - Crysis 2 is that game).

not much of a surprise. played the shit out of bo and even mw2 and i cannot imagine how activision is going to sell me on mw2. The regular formula of "kill guy to earn xp and buy weapons and stuff with it" is getting a bit old. ....

By the time Black Ops came out that was already the fourth yearly game with the same formula. The fifth is where it suddenly gets old?

COD4 was perfection, W@W was pushing it as a COD4 WWII skin, MW2 jumped the shark, and Black Ops was the beginning of the end.

I bet they will going to release a DLC mission based on the Osama's death.

I wonder why people think that Treyarck, IW, or Sledgehammer will do this?

Danger Close will do it! After all, they're the ones doing the Afghan war.
