Modern Warfare 3 (Cancel your pre-orders…….seriously)
So I went ahead and read IGN’s preview of the game because I was curious to see what exactly they added “new”. Then I watched their 3 Hour long Livestream thing on youtube. This is what I observed and got out of it:
- Multiplayer wasn’t their “MAIN FOCUS” of the Game (According to IGN). Which actually makes sense to why everyone is saying it’s the same as MW2.
- (According to IGN) Their main focus is the Survival Mode in Spec Ops; Which is pretty much like Zombies with infantry instead.
Black Ops had to rely on Zombies to keep people interested in that horrible game.
- Akimbo is still in the game. I have no problem with this, but only with pistols. You can’t dual wield with Shotguns or Machineguns. What is this Halo?
- What’s New In Multiplayer? Killstreaks are now group into categories called Strike Packages. Each package is catered to different styles of how a players plays the game. One is for the regular attacking Killstreaks everyone is used too. Another is for Support, like Vests to help defend themselves and teammates. The last is for Unlocking Perks.
- Strike Packages allows the encourage of cooperation between team members…….hmmm wonder where the inspiration for that came from?
- Juggernaut Suit; One of the killstreaks that allows players to become almost invincible. Really? Now they have a superpower type of perk in the game? What’s Next………Fireballs?
- Perks - Some perks are fine and actually add value to a game. The perks that actually give you reasonable attribute upgrades like faster and longer sprinting. Those are fine, but perks that add power to your bullets (Stopping Power) or perks that enable you to morph and Knife someone 7 yards away from you…….yeah, there’s something work with that.
In the words of IGN:
Modern Warfare 3’s multiplayer is not a ground-breaking game changer. Sure you’ll find new weapons, new modes, new streaks, and new maps, but it’s really the same game.
- New Maps
- New Weapons
- New Killstreaks
- Spec Ops/Survival Mode
- Continuation of the Modern Warfare Story
The best thing about Call Of Duty is their Maps. Their all unique and provides something new with each one. But as small as they are this is a must have for the game to successful. New killstreaks are a must have for new call of duty games. As long as they aren’t ridiculous like the rumored Sentry Gun on wheels and 4 Predator Missiles at once. It would’ve have been better if all the killstreaks allow you to have full control of them and you would have to actually earn those kills yourself instead of the computer earning for you…….I mean Call Of Duty is for people who have skills right?
At the end of the day, I hope everyone who buys this game is buying it for the Spec Ops missions and the Campaign mode. Anyone who pays for $65 or the $100 for the Elite Package and Multiplayer is getting rip off……and they’re getting ripped really bad. Everything in the multiplayer is worth nothing more than 2 DLC releases for Modern Warfare 2.
Like I keep telling people, I would’nt buy the same game twice. Thats exactly what you will be doing with Modern Warfare 3. If you just want to finish the story……rent the game. I did research on this game, possibly more than most of the people supporting this over Battlefield 3. The next time you come to me saying MW3 is better than Battlefield 3, do your research first……that includes researching Battlefield 3. Actually start with Bad Company 2, MW3 still haven’t proved it’s even better than that game.
