MW 2.2 Nothing new really. If you play black ops for MW2 there is no reason to get this one. Not the best console port
MW2 could have been the best, but not having dedicated servers made in infested with hacks, annoying kids, racists etc. That said, I still enjoyed it a lot and private matches, were great when you could get them together. I am not an IWNET lover and I hate the matchmaking system. Its fine along side server browsers for those who can't figure out how to use it, but it's a step back.
Black ops was very good and I still enjoy it. The most polished to date. It had it's hiccups at release though and I had to upgrade my PC to play it the way it was meant to be played.
That brings us to MW3...or should I say MW 2.2. Its a huge step backwards in many ways. That said it still is enjoyable. If this game came out in 2007, I'd probably be much higher on it. I was just hoping for MW2 w/Dedis...we got that but they are unranked. Ok fine, I don't get that into unlocks/prestiging, but it bifurcates the community (just like map packs).
The graphics are ok, but a step back. It performs smoothly though, but you can't edit the config at this time so we are locked at FOV 60 which is headache and eye strain inducing. The maps kinda blow, unless you like running and gunning around corners and cooridors constantly. A few are ok, but nothing memorable...some are downright bad and ill placed for "battle". They are not as good for HC games either (oh and HC playlists are missing a few key modes)
Too many killstreaks and air support going on at once, worst spawns in franchise history(yeah, I didn't think they could get worse). The game caters to noobs...deathstreaks, pointstreaks, etc.
If you already play COD4, MW2, Black Ops or even WAW, there is no need to get this one unless your playlists are empty.
It's very much a console port. All that said, I am having fun playing, but I don't know if it has the staying power that Blackops will have. I really think a new game every 12 mos is stupid. I would rather just keep the same core game and have DLC with new killstreaks/perks/maps or whatever. Better yet, let the modders fix the game. COD4 was really the best of the bunch. They did not need to rewrite the whole game. MW2 added some cool Killstreaks, but they are too concerned with making the PC experience match Xbox./PSN.
SOUND EFFECTS are very SUBPAR and the game is not customizable like Black ops and previous titles.
IF you a die hard fanboy you can find something to like and you will find gripes in the game. It's a game though. Its fun, but far from perfect and nothing really new.
