Ill still buy it...

[Joker]

I hope they up the graphics

[nordic97mist]

The campaign and zombies is the only thing im looking forward to. Their "strike force" feature in the campaign might be cool. Pick your mission and how you want to play it, if you fail it changes the outcome of the game. Unless they go back to the mw2 connection style multiplayer will suck dick like the first one and i really hope they do not bring back the mw3 spawn system -_-

[schardbody]

Tryarch did black ops and this one and I think world at war or one of the other old ones. Its pretty safe to assume it wont be anything like mw3 as infinity Ward does things a lot differently.

From what I've heard the multiplayer will mimic black ops original with a few new additions but no drastic changes.

The graphics on black ops trumps mw3 in my opinion but a lot of people disagree, I personally think mw3 and infinity Ward are garbage and I hope that was their last attempt at a FPS.

[nordic97mist]

Yeah Treyarch did WaW, BO and now BO2. IW did COD4, MW2 and MW3. Treyarch as of yet has never done anything "new" to add to the series, they more or less copy IW and how they changed it up. COD4, three set killstreaks....WaW three set killstreaks. MW2 customized killstreaks, BO customized killstreaks. It looks like Treyarch finally might do something new, which will probably only be the futuristic looking game aspect. I expect more or less what MW3 had more or less. Treyarch had a really balanced game in BO, but their connection was total garbage and unless they fix that im gonna put the game in the toaster.

[Matts94Z28]

Not interested.

[schardbody]

seriously I feel like mw3 connection is garbage. I find more trash lobbies in mw3. And on any given night there will be 300k people on each game so its not the over populated servers.

[nordic97mist]

The connection in MW3 is garbage. It's because of their lag comp system. Typically they pick the worst host and lag everyone down to make it "equal" but it really just lags everyone out. Black ops i would say is worst just because it dropped host alot and i pulled host, giving me a shit ton of losses that shouldnt have happened. Atleast in MW3 i can play a game all the way through. If it wasn't for the bs spawn system MW3 would have been a really fun game.

[Joker]

Everyone always bad mouths COD games but then they end up buying and playing the hell out of it.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Not interested.

Nope. I kill fuckers in real life.

Exactly.

Because if nobody did Treyarch never would have patched any kind of glitches or cheats in BO. They only did after they saw how terrible IW did and how many people bitched with MW2 and all the glitches and crap that went on in that game, and IW followed suit with MW3.

[schardbody]

Mw3 spawn is a trillion times better. Its meant to keep you in the action. Blops spawns are too easy to camp.

In blops the only time the game is dropped is when the actual host backs out of the match or losses connection with the server. The lag comp on blops is horrible because its based on ping. I ping really low but have a download of about 3mb and upload 1.9. So I don't send data to the server fast enough to give smooth gameplay yet half the time I'm host over my buddy that pings 75 download 18mb up 10mb. When he is host I normally get 30ish kills per match, if I'm host I'm lucky to get 15 and break even at 1.0 kdr. So the lag compensation is not working.

I enjoy playing even though most of the time I rage quit out of anger towards campers.

[nordic97mist]

Mw3 spawn system is the worst. Im not sure how the spawns in TDM are but the way the system works in domination is total crap since its based on some sort of revenge system. I lost connection to the server on blops almost half the time i pulled host and i pulled host alot. Mw2 i very rarely got dropped. Mw2 by far had the best connection

[Joker]

I been playing Resident Evil Racoon City multiplayer and have no complaints. Just wish they had more maps.

[94zson]

It's nowhere near the real thing and if you think it's cool to pretend, get a life!

[schardbody]

its not pretend, its a game, alot of people take them too serious, to me its just entertainment.

[94zson]

The too serious people really piss me off to no end!

[schardbody]

thats one of the most entertaining parts of playing. especially MW3, when you kill someone you hear their mic for like 3 seconds, so all i hear all match is "WTF a NOOBTUBE" "faggot", "BULLSHIT", "HACK"..... etc.

then you have the people that get all tough guy "i'd fuck you up if you come up to Ohio blah blah blah". its quit enjoyable.

[nordic97mist]

death com is by far the best thing mw3 did i love it lol

[94zson]

That's what I am saying. Maybe they should have actually joined the service and served and they would know what it's like to feel the rush of combat followed by the extreme pain of losing of your friends. Instead of being f-ing couch commandos.
These fucking punks

[gearmesh, inc.]

I've had plenty of friends through the years that could smoke the hell out of a video game. I mostly just watched in amazement as I never was worth a damn at most of them.

I never could get into video games because they provided no real world feedback for my other senses to tune in on. For me to be good at any kind of game, I need to feel some g-forces, some acceleration/deceleration, smell the gunpowder, feel some recoil, etc. I guess that's why all my game playing gets done outdoors.

Of course, video games may be much cheaper than what all my outdoor games end up costing! I'm sure those of you with broken rides could relate!

[nordic97mist]

...its just a game not that many people use it to compare to real war experience o.O

[94zson]

...its just a game not that many people use it to compare to real war experience o.O

And you have been where? Have you ever seen friends die far away from their homes and families? Have you heard him ask for his mother as he is crying and squeezing your so hard that you want to pull away but you know the importance of holding as he breathes his last breath? Have you had to clean out his vehicle after 120 lbs of explosives split it half and his blood and brain matter are splattered inside all over the place?

If you have, you wouldn't question. If you wonder and never had the balls to step up to the line and sign your name, fuck you

[94zson]

...its just a game not that many people use it to compare to real war experience o.O

And if you want to know what happened to Dominic Ciarmataro, Sean Callahan, Joseph Whitehead, please PM me.

Otherwise, stand on the front line beside me and fight as my brother or stand across from me as my enemy!

[nordic97mist]

o.O i said its a game not real war experience o.O

[94zson]

o.O i said its a game not real war experience o.O

Again you just don't get it

[nordic97mist]

Its a thread about a video game, theres nothing more to it. Nobody is comparing it to real war experience and i dont really see the need to pm me calling me a punk when you have no idea who i am. But if you must know i have all my Army paperwork done and ready to go pending what happens with this job, even if i get i still want to do the reserves within the next year or two. I have plenty of friends who are in the military who play call of duty, are they punks to who arent willing to sacrifice for their country?

I have plenty of friends who are in the military who play call of duty, are they punks to who arent willing to sacrifice for their country?
Let's analyze what you just said:
1. "This thread is about a video game": yes, it is. I also stated that I think that these types of games are gay!
2. "Nobody is comparing it to real war experience": that is my main point of why I don't like these types of video games.
3. "I don't really see the need to me PM calling me a punk when you who have no idea who I am": that is my attempt to not "call you out" in a public forum. But if you want to make it public, please go ahead.
4. "But if you must know i have all my Army paperwork done and ready to go pending what happens with this job": here you are stating that your "potential" military service is contingent upon a job? If you were serious about serving you would have already signed up not using military service during hard economic times as the "10 years war" is winding down.
5. "even if i get i still want to do the reserves within the next year or two.": again, you might within a year or two. Man the fuck up and sign your papers.
6. "I have plenty of friends who are in the military who play call of duty," of those military personnel, how many have: 1. Served in a combat zone, 2. Served in a unit that actually fought? I too have friends that are 03XX Infantry Marines, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, who like to play the games. However, they too agree with me in the fact that people who:1. Take it too seriously are hated, 2. It pisses them off that "punks" think that it is like "real war experience".
7. "are they punks to who arent willing to sacrifice for their country": No, if they actually signed their papers, attended all schooling and served honorably/are currently serving honorably, then they are not punks such as yourself!

In the end, allow me to summarize my opinion without personally attacking you in public forum, in which you already opened.

I think that these types of video games are Gay! I feel that anyone who feels that it in any way represents "real war experience," needs to get a reality check because there is NO GLORY in war and it shows individuals what hell is.

Additionally, if you would like to know what my Marines' and I went through during our "real war experience" and the emotions that are felt when our men die far away from home, please let me know.

Thirdly, anyone who cannot decide on whether to sign up for military due to pending employment or might do it within a year or two, should take a long hard introspective look at themselves on the real reason to serve your country. (I will reserve the rest of this section for PMs)

Finally, I chose to sign my contract right as the "10 years war" was kicking off back in 2003. I became a Marine Officer, who volunteered to serve forward deployed in one of the most austere environment while being partnered with Afghan Army Personnel for just under 1 year and being being deployed on 2 separate ships.

If you would like to see my military records or ask Some people on here, who have known me, please let me know and I will get you their names.

So do me the favor and cower behind people who actually serve and stay out of our way.

Thanks,
Art Hopkins
Captain, United States Marine Corps

Holy hot shit. Someone needs to take a chill pill. Thank you for your service. That being said, nobody here ever compared it to the real thing. You just took it to a whole other level. It's a GAME, no different than any other game. My brother was in Iraq for 15 months on the front lines, saw several of his friends blown to bits in front of him. He's now on disability because his back is F'ed up from running over too many IED's in his MRAP. And he loves him some COD. Because it's a GAME.

You're in here belittling a guy simply because he likes playing a damn video game, and then puffing yourself up because you've served in the military...? Take a step back, put it into perspective, and relax.

[chrisheltra]

Im a real racer so I dont like racing video games. ha

Thanks for your service. But you missed where he said that he's NOT comparing it to real experience.

So what was the point in "calling him out? He's been saying all along that it's just a game and "not that many people compare it to real experience."

He didn't say HE considered it real experience. Lighten up man, sorry for your losses while serving this country.

Jacob, is it? I understand your point on its a game. That in fact is my point. It's a stupid game that I feel misrepresents actual combat. I know that it is merely a game and my stance is why I don't like just like the original post.

As for puffing myself up, all who know me will tell you that's not the type of person I am. However, I will NOT allow any person to disgrace service members with statements of maybe joining based off economic necessity. I feel that the only reason any person to join the service is to support and defend the civil liberties that they enjoy. In my opinion, every person should be required to serve a minimum of 2 yrs of federal military service, however that will lead even more discipline and bureaucratic problems for all.

And for the record, all posts were rationally thought through prior to posting.

And btw thanks for supporting veterans such as myself

[nordic97mist]

o.O ive never met anyone who assumed so much from a single thread about a video game. You truly do know my character and my views on our military service men because i bought a xbox controller...impressive

[94zson]

You keep assuming the only reason im joining is because of the economy, which isnt entirely true. Like i said you have no idea who i am and if you want to continue to spew shit and pm me then im not even going to waste my time to even share who i am with you.

Do you admit that it is partially true?

Have you talked to any veterans about serving?

Again, let me reiterate. I never stated that you said it was like "real" experience. My issue is the way you responded to my opinion and then how your statements were presented about your "potential" military service.

Any person would have been addressed as such.

As for PMs, trying not to air out business in public.

Jesse, maybe you should ask around about who I am. (I am not saying I am billy bad ass, I am saying that I speak my mind and am true to my word)

[chrisheltra]

Even COD supports veterans.

[nordic97mist]

Like I said i'm not gonna take my time to share my views about something when you're spewing assumptions that you know what i'm about. Dont waste your keyboard.

[94zson]

If you would like to hear a veteran's perspective, please let me know. I am not saying you're a bad kid, just misguided.

[nordic97mist]

I believe you've shared you're perspective quiet well. You sure do like to assume things. You really dont think i've ever engaged conversation with a veteran or know what it does to people? My own personal reason as to why im waiting for this job are my own and none i really care to share with, especially someone who has continually made assumption after assumption. I could multiquote the whole thread showing your douchebagness but my fingers hurt from playing zombies the night before. I've never shown any disrespect towards your time in service so i really dont understand what your problem is. Lulz.

[schardbody]

I think you read too far into his post because I see nothing disrespectful at all towards the military.

In my experience a good bit of people serving our country are doing so for the wrong reason but who am I or you to judge? You honestly think it should be a requirement to live in this country? And I bet you think women and gays don't belong or should be allowed to serve this country either do you?

I think you have something bothering you and you took it out on Nordic but that's just how it looks to me.

If I was opposed to video games depicting war I WOULD NOT visit a thread titled such....

[chrisheltra]

If I would have joined the military my only reason would have been to shoot guns and blow shit up. Maybe even for the lifelong medical and the not too distant retirement. :)

[nordic97mist]

If my sig had a V8 i probably wouldn't have been singled out :(

[94zson]

Not true there bud. Your comment about whether to serve or not based upon another job.

Chris both of those items could have been done, but you would have hated it. In order to do that, you would have to be initiated

The point is proven and I bet your are actually a cool guy.

I tryed to join but they told me no due to medical issues and since I grew up in the navy they knew all of my medical past.

I play these video games and love it. I will talk shit to someone like the next. I am not in the military. Am I allowed to play this game? I also play deer hunting games on the ps3 also, but I do not hunt. I also play road racing games but don't road race. I also play RIO with my daughter but neither of us have been there.

Hal, now you are just being an ass.

In all seriousness, I don't care if you play or not.
