I just watched it, the COD series is like Madden...theres one every year now it seems and there really isn't much more you can do with this series, same old same old. The trailer itself was a little exciting in a way though, just like if you'd watch a preview for an action movie. Most likely my Brother will be getting it so I'll just play his copy.

This will probably be the first COD that I'm going to wait for a price drop.

I wasn't impressed at all, I got tired of COD since COD MW2, so no matter what I kind of wasn't going to like it. Although I gave it a chance and put down 15.75 just incase. But I'm gonna go back to gamestop and put it down on something else now.

People might hate this next thing I say, but Activision sucks. They ruined one genre of music by releasing yearly/too many music games in Guitar Hero. I think they like to drag down games they sell.


I hope I am not the only one who think Call of Duty had more than its fair share of fun. Too many and now its just getting to be dull.

It was what I expected. Whether that is good or bad has yet to be determined.

It just looked like the same game. Nothing new.

Just kidding. It looked great! The CoD trailers always get mereally excited for the campaign, even though I'll spend most of the time on MP.

We haven't used a C-130 in CoD yet. We have used an AC-130.

Nothing special. I am buying BF3 because I am sick of Call of Duty. I will probably still rent it from GameFly to try it out and see, but I am not buying it before then.

Looked like crap compared to Battlefield 3. What else is new. They are releasing a game every single year. People are going to buy Call Of Duty because of the name now. It can be garbage.. but people will still pick it up and eat it all up.

The trailer looked really good, but every Call of Duty trailer is well made. I'm going to skip this because I'm just not interested in anymore CoDs.

Surely not literally. I think you might mean "eerily similar" or something along those lines. I see what people mean when they say it's "more of the same" but the action in that trailer was very good, the trailer was very well put together.

As were most of the other trailers. The problem I see right now is this trailer didn't show us anything new about the gameplay really, just what the game's story will be. And that's fine because they are at the point where they are trying to lure in as many people as possible to the game, which really is not difficult. With looking at the past 2-3 Call of Duty games, it is the same gameplay just tweaked in the most minor ways (different weapons, perks, kill streaks, etc). I will withhold my full judgement until I see some actual gameplay, especially multiplayer gameplay videos. Either way though, I am going to surely buy BF3 because I loved BF2 and am ready for a change. However, this doesn't mean that MW3 will be the same, most of us just assume that it will be since the franchise hasn't changed much or brought anything new to the table in a long while.

Looked like they mixed a bit of halo's storyline and everything else from Call of Duty 4, but with different characters.

That I completely agree with. I really don't think think that the gameplay will change much, just like you said a few minor tweaks. Going by what we have right now, the whole idea of WW3 seems really interesting, but I dunno if the idea can be properly fleshed out in a 5-6 hour campaign. I'm looking forward to more info on MW3, as for BF3 it's a definite day one purchase for me.

Not sure why everyone seems to assume that one can only purchase either BF3 or MW3. I'm getting both because both satisfy different tastes in multiplayer gaming--fast and brutal in CoD and tactical/strategic in BF. Both look great, and I suspect both will be great in different ways. Why limit yourself to only one when you have 6 months to save up for both? Hell, throw Gears 3 in as well and you won't need a new MP title for a year or longer. As for MW3 offering more of the same, what else would you expect? It's a formula that works brilliantly, has revolutionized most online FPS games, and, if the sales are any indication, that millions of people love. I don't want a radical shift in what CoD offers anymore than I would want a radical shift in what BF or any other established franchise offers. Part of the reason I know I'll like the game is that I know I like what it offers; to move away from that would be to risk the loss of my purchase along with potentially millions of others. Not a wise choice, and one that could just as easily end in disaster as success. Leave major changes and risks to new IPs and leave my standby titles alone, please.

Looks good but if you look good in the trailer then you see the same things as in mw2... example:

Only this time with some moreaction on the background.

Same pacing.... the clips flow along with the beat of the music, giving us hints of what will be in the game, then it gets quiet and someone utters some line and then the trailer gets intense... followed by quiet again and the game's title. Just watch the two back to back.

Oh, I'll most likely be purchasing both. I still play both MW2 and BC2 quite regularly. They both offer completely different things. The only thing that worries me about MW3 is the WW3 idea, the MW campaigns have been short, and a war of such a great scale might not be properly fleshed out in a short campaign which is why I said I want to see more.

I'm actually really surprised ANYONE likes Infinity Ward's teaser trailers, this one was just as god awful as MW2. it did not get me pumped for the game in the slightest. I'm definitely picking up Battlefield 3, but this will be the first Call of Duty that I won't be preordering. If it's anything like MW2, I'm going to hate it with all my being. I'll probably still give it a shot, but I PROBABLY won't get it. Personally, I wish they'd refrain from releasing new entries every year. Map packs and gun packs on a regular, scheduled basis would be a much better option for me. New Call of Duty games should only come around for sylistic changes, like a Cold War-era game as we saw in Black Ops, or WWII-era, or modern-era like Infinity Ward's work. We really don't need a new game every year.

That's a fair concern, but I'm not sure if you should really expect an epic single player from a CoD game. if the trailer is any indication it looks like it will be a ridiculous roller coaster of action sequences across the world. That sounds pretty sweet to me. With CoD I'm less concerned about engaging or believable narrative and more concerned about gameplay and set-pieces. I'll stick with RPGs or games like Bioshock if I want a story, with CoD I say bring on the action. The story will likely make no sense, but who cares when everything is blowing up so purty like. :)

Why would they pass up a yearly opportunity to sell over 20 million copies of a single game in 6 months? That's more than most publishers sell out of their entire portfolio in an enitire year. Besides, I'm still not tired of the Call of Duty formula because it is simply far and away better than nearly any comparable game out there. You can flame all you want, but I suspect there are tens of millions of people who agree with me. It's fun, people love it, and it makes mountains of money. Can you honestly say you wouldn't do the same in Activision's place?

I never said Activision had a good reason for going with my idea of regular content, I was trying to say it would be good for the gamers themselves. I, personally, would have much preferred that Call of Duty 4 was continuously updated with maps, guns and perks until about last year or so, where we could have gotten another new game - and I'm sure a lot of people who fell in love with this franchise with Call of Duty 4 would agree with me. I'm sure there ARE tens of millions of people who agree with you that the COD formula is fun, that really has no bearing on anything that I said. People who love COD would still love additional content and longer post-launch support for their games. A yearly installment is absolutely unnecessary. I would do the same thing in Activision's place, but I am not a businessman. I don't come onto this forum and respond to everyone's opinion as if I'm Bobby Kotick. My opinion is first and foremost that of your typical, average joe gamer. Bearing that in mind, I, personally, would much prefer regular content rather than regular instalments. Does this mean I don't understand the reason that Activision does what it does? Of course I do, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with it just because it makes them more money.

@speedfog, great comparison.

I too am tired of COD and may be giving BF3 a shot.

[QUOTE="sixgears2"][QUOTE="creeping-deth87"]I'm actually really surprised ANYONE likes Infinity Ward's teaser trailers, this one was just as god awful as MW2. it did not get me pumped for the game in the slightest. I'm definitely picking up Battlefield 3, but this will be the first Call of Duty that I won't be preordering. If it's anything like MW2, I'm going to hate it with all my being. I'll probably still give it a shot, but I PROBABLY won't get it. Personally, I wish they'd refrain from releasing new entries every year. Map packs and gun packs on a regular, scheduled basis would be a much better option for me. New Call of Duty games should only come around for sylistic changes, like a Cold War-era game as we saw in Black Ops, or WWII-era, or modern-era like Infinity Ward's work. We really don't need a new game every year.creeping-deth87
Why would they pass up a yearly opportunity to sell over 20 million copies of a single game in 6 months? That's more than most publishers sell out of their entire portfolio in an enitire year. Besides, I'm still not tired of the Call of Duty formula because it is simply far and away better than nearly any comparable game out there. You can flame all you want, but I suspect there are tens of millions of people who agree with me. It's fun, people love it, and it makes mountains of money. Can you honestly say you wouldn't do the same in Activision's place?

I never said Activision had a good reason for going with my idea of regular content, I was trying to say it would be good for the gamers themselves. I, personally, would have much preferred that Call of Duty 4 was continuously updated with maps, guns and perks until about last year or so, where we could have gotten another new game - and I'm sure a lot of people who fell in love with this franchise with Call of Duty 4 would agree with me. I'm sure there ARE tens of millions of people who agree with you that the COD formula is fun, that really has no bearing on anything that I said. People who love COD would still love additional content and longer post-launch support for their games. A yearly installment is absolutely unnecessary. I would do the same thing in Activision's place, but I am not a businessman. I don't come onto this forum and respond to everyone's opinion as if I'm Bobby Kotick. My opinion is first and foremost that of your typical, average joe gamer. Bearing that in mind, I, personally, would much prefer regular content rather than regular instalments. Does this mean I don't understand the reason that Activision does what it does? Of course I do, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with it just because it makes them more money.

So you openly admit that your opinion is basically indefensible in light of the reality of the game industry as a business? I guess there isn't much else to say, then. I'm no businessman. I just prefer to ground my hopes and expectations in reality instead of some nebulous concept of what the average Joe would like to happen whether it makes sense or not.

I wouldn't exactly call it an indefensible opinion. It's not as if Activision would not continue to make money off the regular content I was proposing, as I never said I thought it should be free. Admittedly, it makes less sense financially to do that than what they're currently doing. That isn't to say it wouldn't be better for us gamers. I seem to have stepped on some sensibility of yours that everything discussed here should be taken in the context of the game INDUSTRY. I'm only advocating what I think the hobby should be, rather than what it is turning into.

If by game industry you mean the real world, then yes I suppose that I do feel that things should be discussed in that context. Is that so unreasonable? Games aren't about the consumer, they're about the people who make them and the business they drive. Making suppositions or drawing "shoulds" outside of that is a waste of time. We might as well sit around and talk about perpetual peace or utopia. Noble aspirations to be sure, but they simply aren't going to happen in the real world. I can admire that you are looking out for gamer's interestes, but I will warn you that down that road lies disappointment and little else. Still, good debate. I enjoyed it and it got me partially through a boring day at work :)

An enjoyable debate, to be sure. That doesn't seem to happen much around here...
