Modern Warfare 3

Holy fucking moly, that movie was extremely maximally awesome!
Yes, that's the thing I fear most. More noob stuff and therefore less balance and more laming.

This game will be incredibly noob-catered (not saying BF3 won't be either because of its multiplatformality) so yeah MW-rehash nr 3. Too bad they didn't go for a more daring approach, but I guess with the strong competition of BF3 all Activision's financial advisors could muster was ''milk!''

Wow, biased article much?Anyway, I only like that it's less complicated. It does away with bullshit like projectile bullets and other nonsense that only serves to make gameplay slow and annoying. If they added all that bullshit I wouldn't buy. CoD works so well because it's based around simple core mechanics that work perfectly for a shooter. Changing them could only make the game worse.

i agree.
anyway, i really don't know what to think of this. my opinion is that it's either going to be bad as fuck or... slightly better. they're going to have to do some crazy stuff to convince me off of MW2 (which i still play). i can't possibly imagine what they could add to make the game more interesting.

What they should be do is to stop spamming COD titles every year and create something polished for all platforms.

Well first of all, don't assume that Battlefield is worse off because it forgoes some of CoD's mechanics - it's not meant to just revolve around mindlessly running around shooting people. So even though the projectile bullets thing isn't one of its finest points, I'll gladly put up with it if I'm getting a game with considerably more depth and variety than what the CoD series has been offering since 2007.
Secondly, DICE developing a new and advanced engine certainly isn't particularly profitable, considering Activision's successes with CoD, but it might be because they actually want to make a great game that will serve as more than a money printer for them.
If you want another CoD game that doesn't change much of its formula, that's fine, because it's clearly your preference. But I brought up that rather biased article primarily due to this rather apt analogy:
Quote
It's funny because it reminds me of Activision being a sleazy pimp that sends out a fat, unclean, unwashed, haggily old prostitute with dollar bills hanging out of every orifice that takes money from casually inept consumers who think that’s the best way to get thrills every holiday season. At least the smart marks have realized that CoD is haggily and old.
I'd like to think you're certainly not this "casually inept" customer the article speaks of, but the fact that you'd be happy with Activision re-hashing their favourite cash cow once again, with minimal variation, makes me question how much that analogy applies to you.

As I recall, many people here said they would not buy Black Ops, yet they did. So I'm skeptical of this.
But by not developing a new engine, all you're going to see is CoD clones over, and over, and over. It's just going to be a repetitive cycle of a rehashed engine that's been worn out (And it already is oddly enough). It'd be like if Battlefield 3 was on the Refractor Engine from the majority of DICE games, it'd look awful and most likely play awful.
Now I'm not saying "Fix what isn't broken", but the whole idea of just leave it alone makes gaming what it is now. A TON of CoD clones and games that just don't do anything new, and if they do, they do it pretty badly.

Yeah, you're right. Next time I won't let myself be talked into buying a game by people I don't even like, as I did with BC2, remember?

This is true for all gaming, and another reason I dislike consoles.

In b4 Chyros has multiple orgasms over the reloads
Well, at least it shows that they're taking it seriously. Although tbh I'd rather they redo the running animations. Looks like a fast waddle last I checked

Yeah they do have really good running animations as far as games go, I like watching the guys in front of me dart out and run with some sort of purpose.

Those pics of the maps look like they still need a bit of touching up here and there.
Edit: Seems rather "Eh" to me.

How are obscure weapons an issue? Surely you're tired of the same M16/AK47 setup we've all been playing since 2005, if anything it could use more obscure weapons.
