i have to agree with this. I'm not a huge Halo player but 2 and Reach are amazing competitively.

I'm glad there's gonna be another Modern Warfare. This game will undoubtedly wash the horrible memories of Black Ops multiplayer away (at least I hope) but wait...a $10 online pass? Go screw yourself Infinity Ward, I ain't paying you a penny for what is free on other shooters and your [B]PAST GAMES! Could someone tell me how this crap was allowed? [/B]
I think you've read that news wrong
thats only for some fancy online mode.
EA To Launch It's Own Competitor To Call of Duty Elite And It's Free
According to the official Battlefield blog EA has decided to bring its players closer together much like Activision are doing with their recently announced Call of Duty Elite.The major difference is that EA's version will be completely free with no announced plans of having gamers pay to upgrade which gives their new Social feature a slight edge.
"Of course there are things we will not be showing at E3, including the game’s extensive co-op campaign, the introduction of Team Death Match mode and the Battlefield 3 Battlelog web destination – featuring powerful social tools, feeds and detailed player stats. Battlelog also lets you manage your friends lists, squad up, create platoons, use voice chat and follow your friends’ progress in real-time, and more. Battlelog will be available for the monthly fee of (drum roll)... zero dollars. We look forward to providing more information on these features in the near future!"
I wouldn't expect it to have as many features as Call of Duty: Elite but at least it shows just how series EA are about finally taking Call of Duty's top spot.
😆

Perfectly balanced and yet you have people who will still complain about certain weapons being either too weak or too powerful. Lets not talk about the armor abilities and all the rage they have caused 😂
Since MW came out COD has always been an unbalanced piece of shit. Fun but unbalanced as ****. I am not fond of the killstreaks, let alone the perks that reward you for dying like a pussy and all the other BS they have come up with to cater to people who can't play for shit. I may sound like an elitist douche but it just irritates me.

As long as a game is fun people are going to play it. MW games will probably continue to have a long life. I understand what you mean but then when I play CoD i don't take it seriously at all.
As far as the armor abilities go, I friggin love them. They allow for great strategies amongst players who often team with each other. The only thing that's a bit broken is Armor Lock, which I learned to use very well by playing Legendary mode. Mostly I stick to sprint though.
So, a lot more light has been shed on the game. Tons of interesting tidbits in the following links:
Some campaign info and redundant MP info
Some highlights for me: No more stopping power, IW isn't discouraging quickscoping, the killstreak overhaul looks awesome, the "specialty" system looks pretty good (though it seems like a huge coincidence that its implemented, considering BF3's doing the same thing...), and no more danger close and one man army. **** yeah! Grenade launcher spammers can die!

Interesting...I myself have another strategy...stop getting attention by claiming your game will kill COD and just let COD kill itself.
Probably not going to happen. Look at how long Halo has been around, Basically the same ole thing with a few tweaks and yet people still love it. Don't see too much of a difference with COD.

Because no game - on any platform - keeps giving me the FUN, like Modern Warfare. There is no other franchise that keeps me playing for 10 solid monthis until the next yearly installment, on no other merits than being awesome. And i suspect that there are many of me out there. Playing MW2 online with 5 friends from work, in one group rampageing through Team deathmatch is the very height of multiplayer fun for us.This ELITE addon is a social network for the machinima hardcore and nothing more thana glorified facebook. If they introduce something to do with character customization into the service (anything to distinguish myself on the battlefield and create my own personal persona/avatar) then i'll pay a months sub and get it for that alone.
However the inclusion of this service doesn't mean the game will be inferior in any way to previous (mw2) (mw1) products.
I'm with you buddy. It's really the only online game I want to play. I find it to be faster and more fluid than Halo and much less boring than Bad Company.

I really don't think CoD is any more unbalanced than any other shooter I have played. I think the killstreaks are what make it even more fun. Besides, the deathstreaks really aren't that great anyways, so they don't really bother me. i really don't know of a game that is completely balanced. Everygame has there ridiculous spawn trapping, rocket launchers, over powered guns, glitches, hacks,etc.

Not surprised you think that way.

Black Ops was garbage compared to MW2, imo. Everyone I know who plays CoD either reverted back to MW2 or traded in BO.
BO has zombies and is therefore far superior to the trash that is MW2. Honestly, the only reason I would buy another CoD game is for zombies so I'm passing on MW3.
