Your opinion of MW3 on PC?

I'm not a hardcore COD fan, but I've played my share, including COD1, 2, 4, WAW, BO, MW1, 2, and now 3.

Firstly, I want to mention that I don't go easy on graphics. I'm both a videophile and an audiophile. I play 1080p maxed out during single player or I don't play at all. Multiplayer is a different story though.. Anyway..

I thought MW3 looked pretty good maxed out. The textures were very sharp, the shaders looked good and the geometry wasn't bad. The mission in France where you wear the mask was particularly impressive because it felt allot like Crysis. The lighting seems to have improved. The battles are allot larger in scale and the increase of NPCs made it feel more.. war-like. Overall, there was allot more of.. everything. It was allot messier and grittier, which I liked. Sure, it didn't tax my PC like Crysis would, but that doesn't mean it looked bad. As far as SFX.. Well I can't really recall if there's an improvement or not, but it sounds pretty good on my Xonar Essence STX sound card emulating 5.1 surround..

Some have complained that you can run through the whole game without shooting a single enemy because your teammates will do it. That's a GOOD sign IMO. It means your teammates aren't useless bots that just get in the way of things and follow you around. It also means that enemies don't prioritize YOU over your teammates like in previous COD games. At least this time your team has a clue. Still, if you play on a harder difficulty, your survival isn't gauranteed.

The car scenes were clearly the best I've ever played. Absolutely insane.

Having said those things, I still get bored quickly during the campaign. I usually play a 1-hour session and call it quits for a bit, then go back and repeat. I'm sad to see that I'm over 60% done with the campaign though. As much as I want to hate IW for crapping out COD games so much with so little improvement to actual gameplay mechanics, I'm enjoying this campaign a bit.

It looks... decent enough, I mean honestly it is up against tough competition like BF3, it hasn't exactly changed much visually from MW2 but they get the job done. But Call of Duty simply doesn't interest me enough anymore, not to mention the amount of hackers I encountered during one play session, more than I remember in MW2

Its launch was much better than mw2. Plus mw2 was full of cheaters and hacked servers after 3 months from launch. I played mw3 about 1-2months, its good game. I just find bf3 more fun now. I have been craving for good successor to battlefield 2 (bfbc2 wasnt even near it).

You're kidding, right? I've been playing the free weekend, and it looks like crap. Loegi

MW3 looks like crap maxed out. The graphics look washed out, and even on 4xAA they do not look nearly as crisp as COD4. DevilMightCry

The map design is just terrible compared to the older CoD games. I can even say that MW2 was actually satisfying.

Played one round from the free weekend just for lulz, and it was terrible....deleted it right away. Ugly as sin (seriously CoD4 looked better), sound design team probably spent $5 on sound effects, and in general its the same damn game you've played before minus dedicated ranked servers.

Campaign was alright, but the Multiplayer is worst in the series, including the pre-MW 1 games. Bad maps, you are coerced into running and gunning, and the weapons just feel dead. Bad sounds and no recoil.

No Opinion. Never played it.

Don't plan to, either.

uh huh.

Super-Trooper

I didn't even bother with the free weekend. I tried the Black Ops one a while back and the game didn't even run and wouldn't let me put it past 240p.

Single player campaign was the best of the Modern Warfares.

Multiplayer is probably the worst of the Modern Warfares.

COD4 was the pinnacle of the Call of Duty franchise. It truly was a fantastic game.

Graphics of MW3 aren't bad, just blurry behind the times, I will try that native trick, if I ever go to play it again, which may be a while.

The maps are ok, but Too Small.

The fact that there are no user made maps, is a big mark against it. That was one of the better things about MW1, that and the mods.

Also the lag, and dedicated servers are an after-thought, and well over half with decent latency, have a s$#@ fit if you even start to run.

It is nicely optimized though, considerably better than black ops, which kept me from playing it.

Sheer disappointment, and annoyanceare the reasons I have a hard time playing MW3. A bit unbalanced, and pc version is an after-thought all thogether.

Ugly as sin (seriously CoD4 looked better),

Are you just basing that on nostalgia or did you actuallygo and play Call of Duty 4 again? Seriously, cod4 looks pretty bad compared to MW2 and MW3.

Nuff said

Playing MW3 makes me nauseous. Can't sit at it for more than 20 minutes, even after texture blur fixes. Maybe it's the FOV. C_Rule

uh huh.

its interesting but Bad graphics..

Played it for a couple minutes. Didn't like the way it felt, went back to CoD 4.

MW3 looks like its an extended pack of MW2...found it boring...

I had a blast, but it was very shallow and didn't improve much.

I'd liken it to a tuna sandwich. Its like MW2 was a tuna sandwich with some lettuce in it, MW3 shreds the lettuce, removes the tomato and puts a toothpick inside, so if you've had your fill of tuna sandwiches you won't like another just because it has a toothpick in it. Also if you love your lettuce (dedicated servers) and tomatoes (open maps), then you'll just want more of the last tuna sandwich if anything.

Its fun, addicting and great with some friends, but really not a great PC game. It excels in matchmaking and splitscreen, two things PC gamers don't care for or have and focuses more on performance over pushing the limits, which is also something a PC gamer with a great rig won't like.

So I like it, but I don't love it.

I will admit I enjoy the COD campaigns. They're just mindless action movies, and I fine with that. And I have found them all to be entertaining, and intense. MW3 is not the best looking game, but it's not horrible. I enjoyed the single player, more than BO.

The MP is a different story...like most of the COD games, it can be rather rage inducing

Weak, weak, weak. The worst iteration of the game when it comes to online play.

The Moder Warfare 3 is the nice game and i have enjoyed too much. it is the real action video game where you might be find the complete action, thrill and adventures at there. Some thing which you can experienc at here are awesome and nice.
