I didn't see any MW3 thread on the first 2 pages in search, so I decided to make a thread about it since it's coming out soon.
I'm really looking forward to this game. I have a couple of reasons for this:
- It can only be better after something like Fail Ops. The multiplayer on the PC was a huge disappointment because of serious issues on a lot of PC's that met minimum requirements. Even pretty decent mid-range PC's were struggling to get normal gameplay. It seemed to work better on XP which is a hassle to install on any newer version of Windows. Then I switched to the PS3, which had a lot of issues as well. A universal issue for all platforms was the spawn system, which is full of fail. Latency issues (bullets going right through targets, etc.) and other players are really frustrating. A lot more corner camping than any previous CoD I played (I don't mind defending objectives or 'defensive' playstyles, but hiding in corners pisses the majority of players off.) Sprayers get rewarded for spraying while people who actually do aim, and aim down sight get screwed by latency or some dude one shotting you in the leg with a python from a mile away, after you got a ton of hitmarkers on them with an assault rifle. Also Sniper Rifles which take three shots to kill at point blank is completely ridiculous.
- I really like the style of the Modern Warfare series when it comes to graphics. It is much closer to reality than the dull colored graphics Treyarch used in their games. Treyarch games are much more cartoony and that shouldn't be in a game that aims to be as lifelike as possible while steal being reasonable for a game (i.e. healing after a period of no incoming hits).
- The entire storyline in the Modern Warfare series has been very interesting for me. Especially since it depicts events that could take place in this age. (After all, it's MODERN Warfare) This game is supposed to bring it even closer to us. Cities like London, Paris and New York get involved. I have been to London and Paris myself so I'm really interested in what's gonna happen on these maps. Also I like the idea of playing multiplayer in London. =D
- Instead of the same old zombies they implement a new spec ops survival mode. Really got fed up of zombies so this is some nice stuff.
