Funny how that has happen in France because thats where you actually go in the game
and that quick scoping dammit i hope those types of people online for this franchise.
It's getting great reviews across the board, even on relatively unbiased sites like metacritic.
The bottom line is that if you like Modern Warfare gameplay, you'll love the game. It's pretty much MW2.5, but the online system has been completely overhauled. So, that'll keep things fresh.
On the other hand, if you don't like Modern Warfare gameplay, don't bother with the game.

So..... worth it?
Yes!
No copy and paste from MW2. Thank goodness they threw out all that shite from Black Ops.
Thank goodness I didn't bother with that Battlefield 3 horseshit.
Multiplayer is just like I wanted. The righ perks and the matches last longer. Domination could not possibly be more perfect for me.
Noobish friendly...yeah, this is what we should have gotten in MW2.
What the F am I doing here...back to the damn game!

Usually, you don't tamper with a winning formula. The game is just what I wanted it to be. Tighter controls, better visuals, but same great speed. The perk system is also well done imo, as is the killstreak setup. I'd give it a 9/10. Multiplayer is still the best around imo.

Wouldn't know about Fear because I only played the first one. MoH just made it to the current-gen last year. Gears...well yes it could be said it is the same, but they do change the game engine. As for Halo...no. Halo Reach is so different to the rest of the Halos some people don't even consider it Halo.
There is just one big difference in that none of those games get yearly releases(excluding Halo, and Bungie/343 admit that ODST and Anniversary are just meant to compliment Halo 3/Reach respectively)
Did you really buy all of those games and their sequels o_O?
Yes, I bought them all. I use gamefly, so I get games cheaper.
Reach felt just the same to me, but I guess so.
Gears may have changed engines, but it was still the same thing. Hide behind cover, shoot over cover, repeat for several hours. Not saying it wasn't fun, but it didn't change much.

Yeah. Don't get me wrong with all my seemingly negative feedback. I enjoy CoD.Wondering what you guys like perk/weapon/killstreak wise.
RIP M16
Godly in MW. Decent in MW2. Pure Garbage in MW3
I have only used the m16 like once or twice when I picked it up off a dead guy. It's still acurate and the recoil is minimal, but it is still kinda slow.
I just started playing so I'm only rocking the first few perks. I use sleight of hand pro/stalker pro/can't remember the third.
For gun, I'm really loving the m4 in this game. I got impact and red dot on it.
Killstreaks, I'm using sentry gun, attack helo, and that predator bomber.
What do you use?
"According to figures by VGChartz, Modern Warfare 3 sold a total of 9.3 million copies on launch day making it the biggest industry launch of all time. The Xbox 360 version had 54% of the sales, the PlayStation 3 version had 42% of the sales, while the PC version and Wii version combined had the remaining 4%. As a whole, Modern Warfare 3 is up 33% over Black Ops first day sales, and 55% up over Modern Warfare 2 first day sales.[65]"
"'When will this franchise peak?' Many asked this after last year's Black Ops defied all odds and outsold a Modern Warfare Call of Duty game (the very reason the series is so big today); a brand within itself. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that Call of Duty has yet again broken industry records, but it's by how much that makes it staggering.
A reported 1.5 million people queued at midnight globally to get their hands on Modern Warfare 3, with a total of 9.3 million copies sold on the first day. The Xbox 360 version sees around a 54% share, meaning it's the first game on one platform to pass 5 million on its first day. The PlayStation 3 version held 42%, which is around the 4 million mark. Both day ones are only slightly behind Black Ops entire first week sales. The PC version and the Wii version held the remaining 4%, which is around 370,000 units.
As a whole, Modern Warfare 3 is up 33% over Black Ops' first day sales, and a whopping 55% up on the previous Modern Warfare. the US and the UK combined account for 7 million, which is just over 75%.
Early data suggests first week sales are on course for around 12 to 13.5 million. With just over 87 million Call of Duty games already sold on home consoles and PC this generation, by the end of this week the Call of Duty franchise will have sold over 100 million games this generation."
Comparetively, Battlefield 3 sold 5 million units in a week.
So, there we have it. Once again CoD hasn't just beaten Battlefield in popularity and sales, but it's destroyed it in sales, and once again no one is even looking at BF3 anymore, aside from the BF fans.
Hence my point earlier in the thread. Why would BF3 become the standard for gameplay, when copying CoD gameplay results in "[i]the largest launch in history history".
Say what you want about MW3's actual quality as a game, but, this is the sad reality.
Like anyone thought Battlefield would beat it.
It is sad really, because if they actually bothered they could make a much better game, but alas gamers and people in general do not like change. So that is why the franchise is so succesful IMO. People fear this word: adapt . Why bother learning a new metagame and mechanics if I can just rape faces like I have been doing for the past 4 years.
Edit Battlefield sold a ton of units though. Glad for them.
