"Modern Warfare 2's Special Ops modes required 69 stars (23 levels' worth) for 100% completion. Whereas Modern Warfare 3's 48 stars leads us to believe it contains only 16 Special Ops levels.
Activision has gone on the record to state that subscribers to its premium Call of Duty Elite service will receive new in-game content each and every month which lends credibility to speculation that it's stripped out game content in order to then later sell you it as premium DLC."
The developers have provided a little band-aid while PlayStation players attempt to get back into MW3.
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.
Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash
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.
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.
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.
The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob
Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.
The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.
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.
I can't stand this stuff either.
There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those
You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.
I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players
@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.
is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one
Man I'm getting to old for this
... It's Activision. They'd do anything for money. They're evil!
Well Duuuuuuh!
I'm shocked they haven't just sold gamers a empty box for $60 and said the game will be another $60 in DLC!
Do people even need to ask? i took a look at the Blackops DLC on PSN yesterday just to see how much all the DLC cost and surprise surprised $60 total for every single map pack.
If that isn't greed i don't know what is and why wouldn't Activision leave out content if its selling for such a premium price individually.
It does sound that way but mw3 still prob has more content than every other shooter. We get a survival mode where you can play on every multiplayer map, spec ops, and more maps than other games. They couldve sold the survival mode as dlc or had one map per map pack like zombies. COD has dlc because its so popoular, new maps keep people interested. In a smaller community like kz3 or homefront it can split the community but in massive games it keeps it going plus you dont need it. I can still find matches in mw and waw without the dlc so its for the hardcore players who get burned out on 14 maps in 3 months because its all they play. I dont like dlc id rather it be in the game but if they make it after and its not necessary to have why not? Only gripe i have is how its 15 bucks, should be 10 MAX.
If anyone is unsure about how much contents are moved to Elite subscription, don't rush to buy MW3 immediately. Plus if you wait, the online multiplayer will be more patched by then. Somehow there will be plenty of gamers who just can't wait and then complain about it later.
