So it came out several hours ago - who is playing and what are your thoughts?
Also put your steam name and add each other so can play together multi and spec ops

My thoughts:
im not going to compare it to the competitor (BF3) as I haven't played it. It certainly looks like a typical dice multiplayer game and lets face it - both are vastly different styles of FPS gameplay. Its like comparing counter strike with Rainbow6: Raven shield.
Also origin means bf3 will never be as popular as it could have been

Anyways. Most can probably already guess that this game is an improved version of MW2, which in some ways is good. Its instantly familiar but many small improvements are made
I haven't played it extensively yet (for me its a game best in small doses :P ) but things i have noticed

Maps: maps are a lot more complex and detailed. The design encourages constant movement as no place stays safe for long. Also they just look nice :P

Killstreaks: same ol here but one new thing is assault killstreaks versus support killstreaks
The former working as per normal but the later doesn't reset upon your death but you only have access to helpfull support bonuses like UAV or turret.

Perks: now perks feel more perky rather than... massive boost.

Campaign is still meh like the previous. Black ops still reigns supreme there

I haven't received mine yet, but Steam ID is Tyesh. Should be getting it the next day or two. Super pumped that it's basically MW2 fixed up a bit.

the BF3 multiplayer is in my opinion better than MW3's. However, the campaign for MW3 is better. A lotta ppl I know share my views on this. Also, do the MW3 killstreaks seem a little off to u guys?

Other shit to buy first, 4months til I can buy it T.T

[TADivinity]

Id love to hear any comments Re: CoD Elite?

[Zanderax]

Should I buy MW3 or BF3 if I only care about the multiplayer mode?
What features make it better then the other?

[wTlzq]

definitely BF3 IMO, i bought both MW3 and BF3
BF3- Bigger maps, more realistic weapons. teamplay slightly more important than individual skill.
but personally the jets and jumps from helicopters won me over

MW3- More variety of weapons ( advanced), individual skills more important.

I'm not gonna get to play for a while : Steam DL WAY to slow (13kb.s)

[iMSystem]

Stopped playing CoD when MW2 came out, it died for me
So I havn't even played Black Ops yet, not sure if I am missing out on something or not.

My guess is that I am not :P

Played most CoDs myself... your doing yourself a favour :D

[Meatex]

both games BF3 and MW3 are vastly different style.
My favourite fps multiplayer is still raven shield

MW3 is very frantic run and gun style with lots of customisation
BF3 isn't like that.

If you have any COD games and BF games you know what to expect from each. Get the one that suits your favourite style

[Meatex]

Black ops had the best FPS campaign in a while IMO
I couldn't play the multi cause dedicated servers are only useful if you live near one

Have only got BF3 so far and if I do get MW3 it won't be for a bit. I've bought every COD game since the 1st installment many many years ago but I've lost my passion for the franchise I think. Maybe it's the incredible popularity it's gotten and the know it all 14 year old 'gamers' playing it and thier attitudes. Only got BF3 because it was at a bargain price ($57) but I've still only loaded it a few times to play it.

Bring on Skyrim.

haven't played/probably won't play mw3 but for bf3, you have vehicular control, bullet drop, bigger maps(maybe?). this of course is a very shallow and brief introduction to what bf3 multiplayer offers you. I have played mw2 and i would say they are two very different experiences and both are just as enjoyable as the other.

Wait what?
So your saying you would rather play P2P then play on a dedi server in NSW when your in QLD?

[Benji]

P2P was fine for casual online multiplayer, unless you're playing at the top level, you're just taking other peoples arguments and using them without any thought into whether they matter to you.

Ive got 11 min left on my install, gunna hit it up with my non nerd friends tonight after they hit the gym ^_^

[iMSystem]

I was a pretty successful CoD player so its not someone else's opinion

[ToRDeathsFang]

In the couple of weeks that i played Black Ops before getting bored of it, i was getting <60ms ping to servers everywhere in Australia, so it was pretty decent. The lowest pings i got were about 27ms ping to ones that were probably close by.

[ToRsupapower]

i play on xbox one of the only who do

11 mins? im so jelly, i have something like 11 DAYS of downloading

[Meatex]

@system - i live in Seoul Korea and usually no deciated servers here
in japan you get a couple but they are either empty, full or still 200+ ping TT

It sucks they were too lazy to police elite for pc so we only get to compete with friends - but its free so meh
