Much like the people hated on MW2 prior to release, then it came out and it turned out to be one of the most adrenaline-pumped and entertaining game in the world. Much like people didn't expect Black Ops to even contend with the rest of the FPS (like Halo: Reach), it came out, revolutionized the CoD franchise, and is now the top played game in the world. Exactly this is what happens in 2011. So many people doubting MW3's potential. So many people hyping up BF3 as the CoD killer. Or Crysis 2, or Rage. You name it. All flopped horribly. This leaves us with Modern Warfare 3--a game with not so impressive technique, but all focus on the gameplay, the most important part of a game. I like it how everyone hates on CoD prior to release because it's too popular, they know it's going to sell so they try to be unique. But as the game release comes close and the game is released, they are: "eh, whatever, let's go with the flow, they can't be wrong!". Oh, history has been repeated, and once November 8 hits us, the earth will once again tremble!

That's a stretch, but CoD is without a doubt, the greatest ever series in the history of the FPS genre. Such a gigantic revolution hasn't been witnessed since the original DOOM.

I don't think those games really "flopped" like you said. Flopp in SW is just tounge and cheek and it's a game, it doesn't mean those games are bad you know?

Anyway I use to think that Battlefield was going to better than COD, but then I got Bad Company 2 and the maps are too big and there isn't very many people to shoot at, so you just spend the whole game walking around. It's boring, vehicles are fun but people always steal them so you rarely get to use them.

COD is fun all the time and I'll get MW 3 .

Did Black Ops or MW2 even get FPS of the year here? I think Killzone 2 got it in 2009 but I don't know about last year.

EDIT: I remember now, Halo: Reach got FPS of the year last year.

Rage and Crysis 2 are awesome imo, but they were never meant to be direct competitors of MW3, since Crysis 2 came out over half a year ago and Rage is a SP-only FPS (if you don't count the car combat MP). The only direct competitor to MW3 is BF3, allthough we'll have to wait for MW3 reviews to determine the winner. From what i've seen of BF3 so far seems rather disappointing though.

Blops didn't revolutionise anything. IT was an average shooter with a good MP component. MW3 will have a 4 hour campaign and the same MP we have been playing for the last 3 years but with newer perks and tweaks. Wooopdydooo! Thank god games like Skyrim and Zelda are coming out. How many GOTY did Black ops win? Yeah that's right. Being the best FPS isn't saying much.

WaW was pretty good. MW2 was fun if you got in a good lobby, but the chances of that happening were slim and none. Nothing but OMA noobtubes, 15 foot Commando lunges, Danger Close, constant overpowered killstreaks in the air, etc...

Black Ops... lol. Let's just say, the only reason I still even own that game and play it occasionally is for the zombies. The multiplayer is nothing but people hiding in corners with Ghost and silenced weapons.

Even if you were in a good lobby where people would actually move, it's still boring and frustrating thanks to copious amounts of lag and hit detection issues, plus perks like Second Chance which are totally broken. (e.g. Invincible while falling, being able to use your primary weapon in Second Chance)

I actually liked WAW. It was darker and I liked the feel of that game. MW2 was utter crap and BOPs was thrown on the shelf after 1 hour.

Maybe it will be the best of the best for you, but not for me. Labeling something the 'best' is an opinion that can never be validated. I prefer BF3 no matter how 'good' you think MW3 is. Gaming at the end of the day is a preference. I don't care if MW3 gets a 10/10 everywhere, I still won't be getting it until the price drops (a lot) because it's a Call of Duty game and I don't want it. Plain and simple.

All these debates about which game is the best get so tiring; who really cares? There are a ton of BF fanboys that won't jump ship when MW3 comes out, and there are MW3 fanboys who won't try BF until MW releases. Neither will 'flop'...

So wait until the game comes out, go buy it and have fun playing it. Not everybody will be joining you though because COD isn't all that great to everybody.

So... level 1 poster, 16 posts, and already acting like they know the place? I'm sensing alt account. And I doubt MW3 will be the best of the best. That honor goes to Zelda, methinks. November 20th will be a historical day. And it can't come soon enough.

It's easier to hate what sucks. CoD 4 was the last game that had decent online To this day the online for CoD 4 has very little lag, while each iteration after it are laggy turds of online gaming failure.

It's a perfect franchise for the tweens leeching their neighbors wifi to get online.

I can't think of any situation in online gaming that screws you over as completely as being picked to be the host in a CoD game, which unfortunately happens to me all the time.
