Hey its new MW2 map pack! o wait...its $60! no way!

edit: I read the title and its MW3. Looks good and its rumored to have dedicated servers.

KingDustero4724d ago (Edited 4724d ago )

I never thought MW2 would be getting SP DLC. Makes sense that it is $60 though since TWO maps cost $15. We're getting a great deal I guess.

sdtarm4724d ago

wow this actually looks so bad, it looks so dated

MaxXAttaxX4724d ago (Edited 4724d ago )

After paying $45 for map packs in MW2 (plus the amount of hacking and cheating) we better get a discount on MW3. Like half off. No joke.

I see they lowered the saturation so it resembles BF3 a little more, lol
Technically speaking though, it's still not up there.

Game still seems a bit cookie cutter-ish.

lol, look at the haters.

They hate COD, but are always the first ones to post a comment on a COD article. lol

MaxXAttaxX4724d ago

I don't think people hate just the game.
It probably has something to do with the hype and overexposure in the media that idolizes mediocrity and unoriginality as well.

hassi944724d ago

Not sure on this one, don't think it's worth it. I do like playing the SP but I've been bored of the MP for ages and I doubt this'll change it.

I can borrow it for a few days a few months after it comes out I guess!

guys, i am a COD4 fan, and i didnt like MW2, but MW3 looks promising from the looks! so stop the hating! it might turn to be a crap game, but from what we can tell now it looks promising.

so stop hating and start appreciating!

jeseth4723d ago

Hey guys, I'm with you on many aspects of COD. I can't stand how it caters to weak players with rediculous perks, akimbo shotguns/sub-machine guns (what human can accurately run and shoot a shotgun in each hand? Not even Arnold as the Terminator ...nuff said), Killstreaks that take over a game, etc.

But we are so hard on this game because after all the dust settles, its still the best online shooter you can find from community, matches, game modes, etc.

We just hold COD to a higher standard and I get that but lets not forget that MW is a great game and changed online shooters on consoles forever.

Easy on the hate, we still haven't played it yet.

hiredhelp4723d ago

Lets all face it the MP is what has made this game around the world love it or loath it.

So stop with the SP footage show the cod fans the mp footage cos after all thats were i get put off. (My opinion people)

antz11044723d ago

C'mon now people, the story in MW 2 was pretty good, I thought the end was great.

Having said that the story for BLOPS was worse than the third Pirates of The Caribbean movie.

IcarusOne4723d ago

I agree with Antz. The MW series has had very respectable SP storylines. Not really sure what everyone's been complaining about. If you're looking for white-knuckle action in a compelling political thriller, MW is sort of where you go. I don't really care about the MP. I just want to hunt down Makarov and stop WW3.

im betting the gameplay will be the same ...

antz11044723d ago

....and it still looks better than most games out there, as MW2 did, so stop with the "needs a new engine" b.s. MW2 was a good game.

If you don't like it, don't play and leave the rest of us in peace.

FFXI1014723d ago

Don't forget about the story.

MoH has better story than MW2 and probably will be better than MW3 as well and so far everything else is looking better on BF3 than MW3.

to be fair to this piece... the graphics look slightly improved.

show me the bf3 console gameplay

SolidStoner4723d ago (Edited 4723d ago )

BF3 will be not as good on consoles... that is the true, less players online, and graphics will not be like in the teaser.. and even on PC, you have to own very, very good PC to run it to the max performance.. so tehnicaly MW3 and BF3 will be very similar on consoles, its all about the gameplay now..

Im still hoping BF3 will be better and I hope they add more game modes like in MW, like TD, S&D, Capture the flag etc..

superrey194723d ago

xtremeimport4724d ago

my main problem with the COD games is that you could change the title from Modern warfare through this new one(maybe even including blackops) and I bet most people wouldnt be able to tell which game it is. its just the same thing over and over...and its not like its over the span of 10yrs..its over the span of like 4. its tired and dry, and i wish they would develop a new engine and try to make their game deeper and not just produce mediocre games and release them knowing people will buy it because its a hype train.

Jaces4724d ago

Can't wait to get it...once I find it used somewhere, maybe a pawnshop.

Undeadwolfy4723d ago

rent it, campaign will be short anyway. And the online will be messed up in some sort of way.

Jaces4723d ago

I would but I usually find myself enjoying the online when it's not being hacked at the time.

So I'd rather buy it for around $18 rather than rent it then get that craving after it's returned. ;P

syanara4724d ago

Call of duty has really lost its touch since CoD4 MW2 was just a god awful game that ruined everything I liked about 4 and while black ops kind of brought it back it was not enough. I doubt MW3 will do anything to wow me this time around though the hype train they have going is pretty good.

IcarusOne4723d ago

What was so awful about MW2?

syanara4723d ago

@icarusone

on top of an awfully shallow, misplaced, and disorganized story. extraordinarily unbalanced multi player. kill-streaks that basically paused the game for many of the players. and people who can get a nuke in 60 seconds that ended the game. What I really dint like was the ungodly KDR some guys would get in any game using exploits and cheap ways to do so, the reason I did not like this was because say I am playing CTF If my whole team is just going for kills and not actually playing the gametype where is the fun in that? the rewarding was blown so out of proportion people did everything just for the next kill or killstreak and the incentive to play half the gametypes was either misread half the time or just flat out ignored.

that is what I did not like about the gameplay online or the story.

The other thing I did not like was all these reviews giving MW2 a 10/10 in graphics when it was blatantly obvious that the engine was showing its age and things like foliage, interior walls, and many other textures we all so low res that the game just looked like garbage or at least dramatically outdated.

for example: gametrailers praised the physics in MW2 in their review and showed a grenade rolling down some stairs. not only has this been around for a while but that was the only thing they seemed to care about in the way of graphics.

Now the graphics weren't ALL bad, certain story set pieces stood out well and lighting effects were at par with other games but the bad outweighed the good in this case.

what I will give MW2 credit with though was the 2 player spec ops. that was probably the only thing I actually enjoyed about MW2.

PS. during my online experience I did not see anything that showed massive hacking or cheating. so this is my opinion of the online without the reports I have heard from others about such things.

IcarusOne4722d ago

To each their own, I suppose. I for one very much enjoyed the story and single player campaign. I mean, how often do you see helicopters falling from the sky, and for my money, they nailed the eeriness of a Soviet invasion. Shephard's double-cross left me speechless and the final run for retribution was exhilerating. But that's just me.

One thing I don't think should fault the game though if the reviews. Infinity Ward has no control over the ratings, and to hold any dev responsible for the reviews of their game - whether you agree with them or not - just doesn't make sense to me.

But I see much of what you're saying, and while I don't agree with you 100%, it makes sense.

SephireX4723d ago

Very good trailer I'll give them that but it looks just like MW2. It will sell like hot cakes at an obesity parade but Battlefield 3 will too and that's the shooter to buy. Why settle for mediocrity when you can play Battlefield 3 instead? It may well be a good game but I'm just sick of CoD year after year after year. Though if you were a shareholder in Activision you wouldn't be complaining. I won't be buying or renting this game but I will give it a go. I think you can read between the lines...

N4G Logic:

* MW 1 Not shit, new, we want more.

* All games from Activision are shit.
* Medal Of Honor release, not shit by all means, cause EA is COD killer.
* All games from EA are not shit.
* Medal of Honor is out, shit.
* All games from EA are shit.
* Call of Duty: Black Ops is shit by definition, cause of old engine, cash cow and Activision.
* Crysis 2 shit, cause new engine is for graphics whores, and the publisher is EA, they don't have good games.
* Portal 2, old engine, not shit. New engines are for graphic whores.
* Battlefield 3 release, not shit by definition because of new engine and it's not a cash cow (Battlefield 1942,Battlefield Vietnam, Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Battlefield Heroes,Battlefield 2: Modern Combat,Battlefield: Bad Company, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Battlefield 1943)
* MW 3 release, shit - old engine and cash cow.
* Battlefield 3 release, not shit because new engine, and they said in interview that MW 2 is shit by definition.
* MW 3 is out...
* Battlefield 3 is out...

But as for know with all the money they made (Infinity Ward) Im sure they can create some amazing set-pieces and cinematic and detailed crafted models environments!! That is one thing having a big budget affords you!! So much environment models etc models..Total immersion!!! I love it!!

theEx1Le4724d ago

I agree, trailer looks nice, but gameplay at e3 will reveal all i suppose.

The graphical leap is unknown-- the trailer is just a trailer so best to wait for the gameplay.

But don't expect any big surprises

I wont jump on the mega hype train, but I wish the trolls in here wouldn't jump on the mega hate train so quick either.

I'm optimistic-- in the end I want MW3 to be a great game. Just waiting for the MP trailer now.

snipes1014724d ago

I could honestly care less about graphics. I've been going back and playing through the Splinter Cell games (attention: the first two look like poo now) so as long as the thing plays well I really won't care. Ill be getting this and BF3.

Zoomer764723d ago

Treyb3yond4723d ago

I agree, but I usually do with you anyway.

DeadlyFire4723d ago

Trailer looks nice. I like how they threw that falling building and flying burning car in there while laying on the ground. Taunting EA are we?

Competition = better Battlefield & better CoD. So I don't see how either game could be bad. Graphics wise yes we all know the winner of that between the two, but do you really need perfectly detailed graphics to enjoy games like TF 2, Counter-Strike, Borderlands, Mario, and etc.

I am a little skeptical that Infinity Ward + Sledgehammer can make up for the developers that are now Respawn, but I have yet to see anything to disprove them as quality developers.

lastdual4724d ago

Yeah, it definitely looks good, especially if the rumors of a longer campaign are more than just empty promises.

That said, I hope we get some non-urban environments as well, and also that the action is well paced, with some good stealth sections, etc.

One of the weak points of the Treyarch games tends to be poor pacing, with all explosions and little in the way of balanced peaks and valleys. Granted, MW2 suffered from this also, so hopefuly IW can recapture what they achieved with COD4.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac17d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2316d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.
