Now onto the detailed MP info.

All about improvements, new modes, changes and removal of old features.

Overall Multiplayer changes and improvements across all platforms.

  • Killstreaks now are called pointstreaks and there is a reason for the name change.
  • The player can get pointstreaks from kills and completing objectives and that's a game-changer, the good and nice people who doesn't camp all day can now earn streaks by completing their missions...yaaay :D
  • there are three types of strike packages for pointstreaks, Assault, Support and specialist package and are based on player $tyle of play, if you want the old school killstreaks you go with the assault package, you like to play domination and want to support your whole team well..duh go get the support package and if you are a perk whore, the best choice for you is the specialest package because with each 2 killstreaks you get new perks and if you get to 8 killstreaks/pointstreaks you will unlock all the perks, that's called being a supersoldier.
  • Deathstreaks are returning back from MW2.
  • No commando perk, no last stand, no one man army, no game ending nuke, shotguns are not secondary weapons.
  • Proficiencies, new to MW3, each primary weapon can have an additional "perk" assigned to it. These are unlocked along side attachments for the guns as you level up your weapons.
  • New deathmatch mode called Kill Confirmed, once the player takes down an enemy, they drop a dogtag and only when you collect the dogtag the team get credit for the kill, the enemy's team can also deny that kill by collecting the dogtag before the player's team collects so be fast and be strategic.

frrf3

It's AA at best.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the point streak system available only in a certain mode?

The game is going to get a 9 here. Every year they seem to find just enough new to say it's not a copy of last years game. MW2 and Black Ops were both AA games that got AAA.

I highly doubt it.GS is handing out 8.5 to any FPS game theyhaven gotten their hands on this year and COD will also get a 8.5.

Oh let's get real here. The series really doesn't deserve the AAA status but it's way better than a 4.0.

I voted AAAA, though I expect 9.0 - 9.5. What can I say, it's a hype thread :P BF3 has been great fun, but I'll be 45 by the end of tonight and I'm ready for some good hit detection and fast-paced shooty mcshootin'. My main concern for MW3 revolves around the fact that they're STILL only using VAC for cheat detection. We'll see how that goes, but I doubt it'll go well.

Have you ever thought that sports games do the same thing but dont get nearly enough hate. Why do you guys by fallout las vegas with little elements added but with the same bad animations and graphics and think thats ok? Have you ever thought that the masses would gladly find value in those little added elements, theatre mode, custom stickers, etc? By the way, for some reason, people who bash COD think they are 'smarter" than the average consumer, their not. COD has a good formula, quick respawn, quick to go to a game, quick to shoot. and it won our hearts and fingers. dont blame the game, blame people who want less boredom and more quick action. I love bf3 and when im in a tactical mood, ill go on it but when i want some fast paced fun, ill stick in COD. I can name many "fan favs" that rehash the same game and add tweaks that no one cares to argue about but just because COD is popular, you people think its cool to bash it because you want to feel elite compared to casual gamers when you the fact is. BTW, COD TAKES SKILL, twich reflexes arnt easy. my fat gamer friend who plays all day couldent win a single match whereas my baseball player friend who hardly ever games has the mental focus and and twich skill to be the best. A. People who bash COD secretly suck and dont want to admit it or B. you just have differing taste's, deal with it.

7 is much more likely than 10... Anyway, I predict AA. I just get an intense aura of ennui from this game in the press, which wasn't there when Black Ops was coming out. It would be quite a trick for it to score AAA.

I don't see how. The gameplay is last gen. 90% of the budget of these games goes to the marketing and crap that has no impact on the game, and it shows.

A mediocre SP campaign paired with an entirely broken POS MP suite sounds like a 4.0 to me.

It will get AAA, because all games except CoD get points taken off for rehashing and being unoriginal. CoD:MW3 will meet it's hype, and gamers will still bash it and be tired of it, even though they purchased it...

I hope it flops. I hope it flops hard. :x

I'm going to with a safe bet of an 8.5 from Gamespot. I'll probably pick this up sometime down the line, COD games are always fun and I've put a fair few hours into BLOPS.

Not just gamespot though. But reviewers really need to be consistent if they want to be credible. They can't take points off games for doing nothing new and than award COD with an 9/8.5 each year.

Calling it right now:

9.0 PC version

The Good: It doesn't have Battlelog.

-----

Hyping Modern Warfare 3 AAA. Wouldn't be surprised if it got 8.5'd, though the tone of the review would likely suggest it would've outscored Battlefield 3 under the old scoring system.

Better single player? Yes. If previous campaigns are to go by, the action will always be changed every couple of minutes to maintain a fresh feel. For example, in one mission from Modern Warfare 2, your squad had to defend themselves in a restaurant from all sorts of crap. Massive infantry waves coming in through smoke, tanks, choppers. You name it, they (Read: You) probably had to deal with it (I don't remember the campaign THAT well. :P) in a 10-20 minute time frame. That mission alone was more like Battlefield 3's multiplayer than Battlefield 3's entire campaign combined. That mission felt dynamic; not a simple walk through a hallway shooting things every now and then though structurally it is.

Better co-op? Spec Ops. 'Nuff said.

Better multiplayer? Debatable. Fun? Well, if previous games weren't, I wouldn't know why so many people pre-ordered this game. :P
