Saying they are working on anti-cheat measures is not the same as telling us what they will be

...This is true.

To be honest I'm not sure what they can do to kill the cheaters off permanently but having dedis makes this considerably easier. We have become, I dare say, extremely efficient in tracking them down and atm we just leave a game if we find one but with dedis we can just kick them out.

Of course this has the downside that we'll be kicked for "cheating" every now and then as well, but still xD .

So, it's available to preorder on Steam.

...at the paltry price of $99.99 USD (~$95.2 AUD)

I'd rather fuck a horse.

For those of you elsewhere, it's £39.99 (~$62.90 AUD), $59.99US (~$57.10 AUD) or €59.99 (~$82.28 AUD).

Hmmm, the Aussies get the short end of the stick again, it seems. Though we don't seem to be off that much better.

Guess I'll buy it with GBPs then instead of euros.

That's the PC price too. I feel even more sorry for the people on consoles who have to pay $120AUD (!) or NINETY FUCKING EUROS for an inferior game.

Now I hope you can understand my massive gripe with all Call of Duty games being mods of the previous title, and why I tend to be negative towards it as a franchise more than just about anything else. I refuse to pay for a game that is so blatantly overpriced, I just wish other people thought the same so that this price gouging will finally end.

This is also my gripe with the franchise as it stands now. And I don't get the arse ripped out of my wallet like you do.

I might just do some of you a favour come release day though *winks*

Yes, I can understand that. However, you can cut the damage by letting a friend from a cheaper zone buy it then gift it to you; you can then repay them in their own currency and save significant amounts of money. I've done this several times now, it works great .

I know that, Wiz has bought me a couple of things before, however I'm not supporting this regardless of the area.

This game isn't worth 40 gbp, let alone 95 AUD.

Agreed. I loved CoD 4, and while MW2 had multiplayer issues and a single player shorter than the average youtube video, I liked that one too. But I've payed for mostly the same game twice. And I won't do it again.

http://saveandquitga...d-perks-leaked/

Earlier this week, leaked information was released regarding the new killstreaks and perks for the new upcoming game MW3. Interesting enough, they finally decided to remove the tactical nuke which gave a unfair advantage for people playing at a higher caliber. We will then have the ability to determine whether or not the Juggernaught Suit is a suitable replacement for the nuke.

Assault Killstreaks

4 Kills = Care Package
5 Kills = IMS 3 or 4 placeable mines that cannot be affected by stun or flash grenades
5 Kills = Predator Missile
5 Kills = Sentry Gun
6 Kills = Precision Airstrike
7 Kills = Attack Helicopter
7 Kills = Little Bird Flock (Mini Choppers Patrol The Map)
9 Kills = Little Bird Gaurd (Big Helicopter follows you around the map and protects you)
9 Kills = Mortar Team (5 Predator Missiles go off at the same time)
10 Kills = Talcon (Mini Robot Tank)
12 Kills = AC130
12 Kills = Pavelow
15 Kills = Juggernaught Suit

Support Killstreaks

4 Kills = UAV
5 Kills = Counter UAV
5 Kills = Ballistic Duffel – Drop Juggernaught perk for the whole team, not jugg suit
5 Kills = Airdrop Trap – Drops a hacked care package
8 Kills = Sam Turret
10 Kills = Remote UAV – Target enemies with missiles
12 Kills = Advanced UAV – Blackbird
12 Kills = Remote Turret – Sentry Gun that you can control
12 Kills = Stealth Bomber
18 Kills = EMP
18 Kills = Juggernaught Recon Armour – Care Package Drop Armour
18 Kills = Escort Airdrop – Drops 5 care packages, one will be hacked

Leaked Perks (+ means Pro version)

Tier 1

Extreme Conditioning – Sprint longer distances + Climb obstacles faster
Sleight Of Hand – Reload faster + Faster weapon swapping
Scavenger- Reload ammo from bags + Spawn with more ammo
Blind Eye – Undetectable from air support + Faster launcher lock on and extra damage to air support
Recon – Explosive damage marks target on HUD + Bullet damage marks target on HUD

Tier 2

Hardline – One less kill for Killstreak + Two assists count as a kill towards next killstreak
Assassin – Immune to UAV, Motion Sensor, Thermal and Heartbeat Sensor + Immune to CUAV & EMP
Overkill – Two primary weapons + Second primary can have 2 attachments
Quickdraw – Faster aim down sights + Faster animation of using equipment and throwing grenade
Blastshield – Flack Jacket (Immune to most explosives) + Immune to stuns and flashes

Tier 3

Sitrep – Enemy equipment is visible + Enemy footsteps are more clear
Dead Silence – Your footsteps are silent + No fall damage
Stalker – Faster movement with ADS + Delay on claymores
Marksman – ID target from range + Longer hold breath on scoped weapons
Steady Aim – Increased hip fire accuracy + Faster aim down sight while sprinting.

I can't say I can see where there has been any mention of the Assault/Support kill streaks, but in principle it's an interesting idea..... whether you're going to get anyone actually using the Support option, based on the numbers of fuckwits that usually play this game, is open to question tbh

Can't say I am liking the Scavenger + Overkill + any tier 3 combo. Not as stupid as scavenging exposives, but there are going to be a lot of players rocking 2 ACR's now.

I am not sure I like the idea of assists counting towards Kill Streaks either. Whilst it will mean you lose the option to use 2 ARs there will be lots and lots of hardpoints floating around the map now if all you need is to put 1 bullet into someone to earn 1/2 a KS.

I am intrigued to see what Blind Eye actually does? Quicker lock-ons will help with KSs but more damage... 1 missle to kill a 2 shot Helo or 1 Blind Eye Pro + 1 non-BEp?

Pleased to see infi-sprint removed though. No more knife runners And immune to CUAV is also an interesting addition.

*waits for Chyros to epic-post*

[Wanderer]

I can see alot of interesting combinations from the perks. Also some annoying ones x.x

[Pav:3d]

Sleight Of Hand + Quickdraw + Steady Aim looks like the most all-round suited combo.

So glad to see that there is no stopping power. So so glad.

[Stalker]

I haven't had the time to go through that lists in detail yet, but it looks alright to me.

I'm a bit confused by those killstreak lists though.
Why two different categories? It doesn't really make sense yet. The 18 kills support streaks seem way to weak. EMP was already useless with 15, now it's 18? Also Blackbird and Stealth Bomber at 12 are a bit strange...

Could it be that support streaks are for actual support points, like assists, objectives etc?

Perhaps you can chose 4 KS, 2 from each category? Force things to be mixed up a little?

That would be possible, but it still wouldn't explain the incredibly high killstreak requirements of the support category

EDIT: I found some more info here http://www.thetechga...illstreaks.html

There are actually 3 KS categories and you have to choose one, from which you can choose 3.

Specialist Killstreaks:

2 Kills - You get 1 extra perk
4 Kills - Get another perk
6 Kills - Get another perk

EDIT2:

Quote

DeathStreaks

Juiced - Lightweight - 4 Deaths
Martyrdom - 4 Deaths
Final Stand - 4 Deaths
Revenge - Last person that killed you is always visible on your mini map - 5 Deaths
Stopping power for one kill - 5 Deaths
Dead Mans Hand - You run around with c4 in your hand (suicide bomber) - 6 Deaths

NOTE: This leaked info is everywhere but I'm not sure if this is 100% legit.

[deltaepsilon]

Question is, will temper shots still be possible?

[Chyros]

In have to say it looks extremely fake. It looks impossibly much like a wish list. The perks list especially so. Certain things are under the current CoD engine impossible or don't make any sense, so it's either true but incredibly badly reported by someone who knows nothing about how the game works, or it's a wish list by someone who thinks he does.

I await something more official before I bite this.

Edited by Chyros, 27 August 2011 - 14:35.

[Wanderer]

In a week we'll know alot more about the multiplayer

[deltaepsilon]

Well, looks like all that stuff about those different killstreak types was legit after all.

[Wizard]

I do not like the idea of AR + SR on the same loadout.....

[SquigPie]

Funny how the original multiplayer video got removed due to the huge amount of dislikes and negative comments.
