    Even the gametrailers.com review said it gets ridiculous at times, with the screen shaking for several minutes at a time because of all the air assets. Anyways....

    I guess you're right in that it's what most everyone expected. Apparently I'm one of the only ones out there that expected, or perhaps just wishfully thinking the developers at IW realized how terrible their last game was and decided to go back to their MW1 roots. But this game is literally no different than MW2. Same graphics. Most of the same sounds. Same gameplay. Hell, I even caught myself asking my friends if we've played this map before because many of these maps are awfully similar to maps in the last 2 CODs. Some new killstreaks and perks, but mostly the same. Haven't been killed by a noobtube yet, so progress! Maybe in Modern Warfare 4 we'll finally get killstreaks that don't count towards other killstreaks so it won't be suck an awful cluster****.

    Yea, waa waa. God forbid we hold these money hungry developers to the same standard that we hold 2K sports and EA sports when they release the same ****ty Madden and NBA 2K year after year. IW is by far the worst though with the map packs and this new COD Elite premium subscription nonsense.

    Speaking of COD Elite. Anybody able to get theirs working? Doesn't seem like very many have looking on the COD forums, me included.

    If you were an IW developer, and you just made a butt ton of money on MW and MW2, I'm sure you wouldn't be laughed out of the building when proposing totally mind blowing CHANGES to what got you there.

    What does that have to do with anything? So you're trying to tell me it's ridiculous to expect developers to actually improve a game and innovate than release the same exact game with barely different maps and the same guns with different skins year after year? Guess that explains why companies like DICE, Bethesda, Bioware, etc. have become so respected in the gaming community while Infinity Ward, EA Sports, 2K sports etc have left gamers so disappointed. Like I said, makes no difference to me. I'll just stop buying call of duty games like I've stopped buying Madden games, and will only be pirating NBA 2K games from here on out.

    I think you both actually have great points on this but in the end it's all about money which speaks to what FS said. IW, EA, etc. have franchises that sell like hot cakes every year so they have a built in reason to do little but tweak. After all they aren't trying to get recognized but simply stay on top. You see the same thing from politicians and every CEO around the world. The goal is to give people more of what has made them so popular in the first place. Their thinking is essentially, "Our games are selling in the millions and we're making huge profits. We're happy, our customers our happy, and that means everyone is happy."

    If people are buying COD and Madden games every single year I suppose they must be doing something right. I agree with you R&R that it would be nice to see more variety but people seem to be happy with all these big name franchises. Which is all that matters in the end.

    Couldn't agree more. But like I said, I'll stick with the companies that are actually innovative and don't release the same crap every year. Companies that are more concerned with releasing great games than breaking launch day sales records to leave their customers disappointed. I'll probably buy another Treyarch game since I do feel they made a lot of improvement between WaW and Black Ops. Done with IW though.

    That's the thing though. If companies like IW, EA, etc. are leaving a majority of their customers disappointed then how can they break a new sales record every year?

    Because the people who buy call of duty are casual gamers and 12 year old kids. They need a FPS so they just get the most popular one and simplest one. Not to mention Activision has a terrific marketing team. And Call of Duty has been on consoles much longer than say, Battlefield. Battlefield will always be more popular among PC gamers than Call of Duty. Call of Duty will always be the most popular on consoles. Longevity is a big part of the sales. I'm sure if all the PC exclusive Battlefield games were released on consoles as well, it would be Battlefield selling the most games, and if it was COD releasing games on PC only, and sticking to their PC roots, they would be the most popular on PC. Just like NBA Live/NBA 2K and Madden/NFL 2K Activision won't be able to continue to release the same game every year though forever. They're not able to pull an EA and pull in an exclusive license to get rid of the competition.

    There's still hope for me and MW3 though. All of this BS happened on TDM. The only time I every play TDM on any COD is on release day when I want to get used to the game. I play nothing but Search and Destroy the rest of the way, and I highly doubt I'm going to see an air show every match in that. If so, the game is getting returned immediately lol.

    So you don't think they change their games, yet feel the need to pirate them from here on out? If it's the same thing year after year, why would you have to pirate it more than once (or at all if you have any iteration of their franchise)?

    All I play are objective based games and there is a ton of air killing going on. In fact, the games I've played play just like deathmatch. I was the only one trying to capture flags in most domination matches I played My teammates ran right by and wouldn't even cover me. The maps are so small and everyone just runs around guns blazing. I don't know why they put crouch and prone in the game. Barely anyone users it.

    I like BF3 so much better. Maybe because I am in my 40's. They should rename COD, ADD.

    Air support is really no big deal... It's nothing like MW2. In fact, it's so much harder to even get high KS now because of the pace and map size. Not really sure how anyone can complain about it...

    The game is not MW 2.1. IMO, it's worth the price tag.

    I love sports, and need my sports games regardless. Not the same for FPS because there's plenty others to go play.

    Domination is complete ***. Always has. Every match I'm the only one actually capping points while everyone else is sitting in a corner somewhere prone. Search and Destroy isn't bad though. You only get one life per round so it limits the amount of kills therefore limiting the amount of deathmachines in the air.

    I agree the air support is nothing like MW2. It's much worse. Like I said, the last game I played there was literally a deathmachine in the air for every single second of the match aside from the first minute. And this was with me shooting my little SMAW at them everytime I died since for whatever reason they only carry one rocket. Reapers were just flaring my ****s like it's the thing to do. Rockets bouncing off Pavelows like nothing. I did take down one Reaper or UAV not sure, which isn't saying much since another went right back into the sky. I can't really agree that this isn't MW 2.1 though. I'm really failing to see much difference. Everything looks, sounds, and plays the same. Maps are smaller, which I hate, but can live with since it means there's far less snipers. Other than that, sure feels like MW2 to me.

    I'm loving the campaign... can't wait to get MP up and running later. I just like the look and feel of this better than BF3.But they can both coexist. BF3 has its uses...

    Using blind eye now that I've unlocked it.

    Haven't played the campaign, don't know if I even will, but the co-op is pretty damn fun.

    I'm going to reserve final judgement for at least a week. Right now I haven't played a map that I like. They all seem the same. No color. About the only thing I like so far over Black Ops is no CoD $$. I didn't like that. It was always you never had enough or more than you could ever spend. I don't like how fast I'm dying. The other players that have unlocked more **** seem to have a HUGE advantage.

    I'm going to give it more than 1 night before saying I don't like it. I need to unlock lots more stuff and give it more of a chance. But I don't see anything that makes me think I'm going to like this game much more than I did MW2. It probably collects dust for a while once Skyrim gets here...

    TBH I preferred the money just because I absolutely loved the wager matches. Would of been great if they at least kept the Wager Match game modes, or made it so you can wager with the money you use in co-op. Anything to keep those modes.

    I like this game, but I can see why some hate it.

    Also, R&R, totally agree about MW1. Best game in the series. Man, I loved that game so much.

    I loved all of them from 1-4. Just been downhill from there. Black Ops was pretty decent imo, but MW2 was awful and WaW was meh. Won't give a final grade out for MW3 until I get the chance to play Search with my friends whom I usually play Search with. Probably pull an all nighter since I got tomorrow off.

    I love Conquest in BF3 and Domination sounded like it. Now I know better. I tried the one with the neutral bomb a few times and no one would touch it.

    The last Call of Duty game I owned was COD4: Modern Warfare. I remember liking that one. I also loved the WWII based ones. The last Battlefield game I owned was BF:Modern Combat, which I loved. I came into these two new games without a bias. I've only played MW for several hours, so I am going to give it a chance. But first impression has me favoring BF by a lot. BF is way more tactical, which is what I like.

    It takes me a while to like the maps... I think I just don't like getting use to them.

    I played about an hour of the campaign and I think it's really good. The multiplayer is pretty solid too, but the maps are iffy right now to me. And I know it's only because they're new.

    Conquest and Domination are pretty much the same, but the people who actually play these games aren't. That's where the problem lies. COD is full 10 year old kids and "pros" who only care about K/D, therefore there is no teamwork. BF3 has a more mature and team oriented player base, which makes Conquest actually fun to play. Search and Destroy is pretty much the only game mode in COD where you'll find the majority of the team actually trying to complete the objective.

    I know I'll enjoy the game more when I get used to the maps. But I remember the maps on Black Ops, even the new ones, I'd enjoy right out of the gate even before I was used to them. I don't see any maps I find myself saying, "I think I'm gonna like this one."

    Encountered a lot of glitching yesterday. How do you know if someone is using aimbot?

    Anyway, tried to party up with some friends on XBOX LIVE and it kept booting them out. We could only do private matches. Never had these problems on PS3.

    How can people go 48-2 on maps that are the size of a postage stamp. Some players simply can not be killed. Last night was one of the worst mp experiences ever. By watching the kill cam it was obvious that some people are a good half second ahead of me.

    I started off quite well first 3/4 games with K/D about 1:1 then all of sudden some guys came on already in the level 60's averaging 40 kills a match! On one match we lost with the highest scorer on my team was 5 & 30!! The other guys just never missed and was pretty much one shot and down! Also too many airstrikes ruined it as well. I know I'm not the greatest on this but it was almost as bad as the Harrier sh*t in MW2 - hopefully they'll update it soon to sort this crap out!

    Agreed. I am not a great gamer,. but I am nowhere near as bad as the *** kickings I was taking last night. And the maps really are awful.

    If anyone wants to play some private matches, my gt is bickety bam. I play with 4 other older guys like me.

    I don't mind getting owned in a fair fight. But I don't have a chance when the other guy has a lag advantage. I unloaded on a guy with his back turned to be. He was still able to turn around and kill me. Come on.

    Yea these maps really are infuriating. Every single map is basically the same. Tiny and cramped, even by Call of Duty standards. I don't think I've seen a single open spot in a map yet and I've played at least 10 if not all of them. At least in all the other CODs there were maps that I at least knew I liked right off the back. Haven't found one I even remotely like yet.

    Maybe I have gamer ADD, but I want small-med size maps. I want gun on gun action. So for me, I love that IW made those maps and excluded big stupid maps like Derail, Fuel, etc... Hated playing those ****ing places. And I do love the maps... I didn't think so at first, but once I learned some routes and patterns, they became so much more fun.

    When you first get into COD, you're going to suck. Shouldn't discourage you though. MW2 was my first game and I got raped for 2 months straight. A .60 KD... Time and practice will help.

    Got it and accepted :)

    I'll be playing this POS until my friends get sick of it and go back to BF3 or at least alternate. 90% of the enjoyment I get out of gaming is the social aspect. The guys I game with have been gaming with me since Halo 2. And from a football standpoint, one is a Patriots fan but he is really cool. The others couldn't care less about football. Great bunch of guys.
