Official MW3 Thread - You Knew It Was Coming!

[QUOTE="Metamania"]

Well, when you play a sequel to a game, you automatically expect to see improvement and MW3 really hasn't done that. They failed in that yet again.

And I agree that there's spectacle in it, but the story just wasn't up to the goods again. *spoiler*...

Metamania

Thanks for the spoiler, jerk.

Uh, excuse me? I didn't say anything about the storyline here, nor did I mention anyone specifically. You need to re-read my posts before calling me a jerk. I didn't do anything wrong.

You spoiled one of the main plot points

I mentioned something specific, but I didn't say who was who. I'm not an idiot and I still didn't do anything wrong. HOWEVER, I will edit my post for the betterment of things. Don't call me an idiot, because again, I didn't do a damn thing wrong.

You mentioned a very central character to the story and you said exactly what happened to them. You don't see anything wrong in that?

[spoiler] You mentioned that Makarov dies. Thats a huge spoiler for anyone invested in the single player "Killing Makarov feels the end of a long road though..." [/spoiler]

^OK, I get your point. I see the error of my ways and I have corrected it.

just because this is a MW thread that doesnt mean we should all be acting like 12 year olds. No need for insults dude. Just say it nicely.

People actually give a crap about spoilers in a CoD plot that is as predictable as the simplest fairy tail imaginable? Ya'll serious?

Maybe the first time through, yes, but COD storylines have been predictable since day one. You know that things won't happen your way until the very end of the game. There's bound to be some kind of conflict that remains interesting, but in the end, it's really the same. So far, in each game, I've found the storylines to have a few interesting characters, but we all know that war is ugly, it's brutal, and it never ends, even if we kill the bad guy or whoever is responsible.

That's precisely why I AM like this :P too many people get into stupid arguements over things that they can't easily admit.

like for one i loved BF3 and admittedly hated on MW3 before but the fact is MW3 has a much better campaign than BF3 but to me BF3 has the better MP. But thats just me. Im over the whole who is better debate now

*SPOILER****************

loving the campaign, that ending though wow, how gruesome was makorovs death (or however you spell it), also how will they continue the campaign? with just price left.. new story, new engine?

Okay. So that Paris level was awesome.

If they don't upgrade their engine and go completely new for the next one there will be wars. People simply will not stand for it another time around. They already went crazy this time over it. I say start fresh with a new story and everything

Did they really . So stupid. At least No Russian was a major part of the plot, this had no reason to be there.

dvader654

Yep very tasteless. and PETA attacks BF3 for killing 1 little rat. But nevermind what CoD does. Even if it does have you kill attack dogs strapped with C4 :roll:

No it won't. But it will put very tasteless things in its games to try strike an emotion in people. If there is a valid reason then by all means go ahead. But this is just unnecessary and shameful

Giving this a rent, I'm sure it'll be explosive fun.

[QUOTE="Black_Knight_00"][QUOTE="S0lidSnake"]

Renting it in a few minutes for the campaign. I went into MW2 with low expectations and came away pretty impressed with the setpieces, even if the airport level pissed me off the more i thought about it, and the fact that i couldnt stand how frustarting the game was on Normal. so easy mode it once again.

_Dez_

It's been a while, but remember some annoying levels in MW2 like the Favela in the first act that had enemies from about every corner from every direction. I think I get what they were going for in that section, but I was getting pinged from every direction and had jam on my face, so I couldn't see. The campaign got better, but I didn't really like that section in particular. I'll echo that the campaign feels frustrating at times.

I agree. I think that was the most difficult part of any COD game to date. I just picked it up and the campaign is really impressive so far, moreso than MW2 I think.

I dont get it Im not even sure if we are tlaking about the same section. Is this the one where the dad is recording his daughter on the cam? If so, scenes like that have been done countless times in movies. I thought the Airport scene where you were forced to watch the massacre happen with a gun in your hand was a lot more tasteless.

You weren't forced to do it in MW2. They gave you a choice when you booted up the game.

Yeah I know what you mean. I don't even know anyone who skipped it. but people are just saying that it had a reason behind it for MW2 but to me both are just tasteless. Same with how BF3 shows you slowly shoving a knife in a guys neck. Pointless shock factors

I remember how a lot of people were angry about that scene. I kept saying that it's nothing but a videogame and shouldn't even be taken seriously. After all, it was just a plot device meant to make the player angry at Makarov and his men for participating in such a massacre. Unfortunately, to this day, people still cry about it. I remember Russia being in a uproar about it and I think their version has the scene either censored or deleted from the game, I can't remember which. But I just remember the hell that people raised for such a scene...it was a bit ridiculous. And he's right; you are given a choice on whether to take out that scene or not when you boot up the game, so you don't have to participate in the scene whatsoever.

I disagree 100% but i am not going to s*** up another Modern Warfare thread with this again. Maybe some other time.

Dunnosky about that one. COD1's first level was one of the most impactful in gaming history I think, at least from atmospheric standpoint. All the aa, paratroopers and such going off everywhere was amazing at the time. Atmospherics has always been IW's wheelhouse and MW3 is no exception.

I still think COD2 and UO rocked the most, the latter an MP watershed IMO.

I mostly agree, but with increased realism in games I'm not shocked to see this increase reflect in the most shocking, human brutality. It is war after all and civilians suffer greatly during war unsually . . .not to sound too obvious here. Far worse things are in movies, and I think both fall under the same umbrella when the 17+ label as well. I don't think it's shock factor or pointless. COD has always had a "war is hell" perpective to it.

But I'm with you too on not really enjoying it.

Just finished the campaign. Took me 4 and a half hours on Rookie. Shortest campaign I've ever played. Even MW2 took me 6 hours. Act 3 was like an hour, and I actually died a few times. Regardless, Im glad it was that short because i actually got bored playing it. Im so not a fan of how CoD games play out, but im glad this game wraps thing up nicely so I wont have to put myself through it again. :lol: And wont have to put you guys through my impressions. ;p

Anyway, the game had some pretty great moments. overall I liked the setpieces in MW2 better. What's here is all action without the build up. Favorite moments, the NY levels, the Paris level, the airplane and train sequences, the awesome last breach sequence, and the last fight. The game is at its best when its putting you through crazy setpieces and sniper battles.

I thought the graphics were extremely low res and there were times that they really took away from the setpieces.I kept saying to myself this is an insane setpiece, it should look more spectecular. The soundtrack was nothing to write home about, kinda disappointing since hans Zimmer's MW2 soundtrack was one of the best soundtracks ive heard. I also didn't like how the russians are impossible to spot in the enviornment. Hated fighting them. i got all happy whenever we went to africa, i was like yes!.... though writing it makes me sound a bit racist. :lol:

Didnt think the girl scene was controversial at all. Hell, the game was a lot more sensitive about civilian deaths. the flooded brooklyn tunnel scene in the NY level conveyed more tragedy than anything IW had done prior to that.There were countless other scenes where they finally showed the toll war takes on civilians in Prague and other cities, first time they've done that since the amazing intro of CoD4. So no, no problems here.

just a quick question,

what was the warning for at the start of the gamme, what mission or set piece?
