[Game] Modern Warfare 3

You know, the maps look pretty good though. Different gameplay themes too.
Not a fan of map-packs I have to pay for though, and definitely not a fan of MW3 either so... But if I was...!

"No one got as pissy about Counter-Strike or Quake being as popular as they did, so why is it that the fusion of these two game types (The arcade FPS and the simulation FPS) seem to be the worst thing ever?"

I guess his daddy didn't let him go Online when we were still complaining about Counterstrike all day.
He's right about Quake though. I don't think anyone ever complained about that game (except die-hard UT fans).
Oh, and obviously 0-1 for the media! Another converted dumbass who believes Counterstrike is a simulation.

Because Quake was honest with itself about what it was. The phrase "tacticool" also didn't exist yet.

Well it didn't at first. The first Modern Warfare I'm sure a lot of people here liked...after that all bets are off. I play it because thats what my friends play and it has its moments. I can say this game is what I was expecting from MW 2. Minus the bull**** Striker.

Looking back at CoD:4 I find the gameplay bland and boring, there was nothing unique about CoD it just struck the right cords with good timing and brilliant marketing, it brouht a sort of sheep-mentality (we'd rether paly a bland game win friends than a bril game by yourself), and showed the world how hype was so much better than substance in a game.

You have to give it to CoD4 MW that the modern military setting was fresh outside of very tactical or milsim games (r6, GR, OFP, etc), even though the gameplay was very shooting gallery like.
The porblem nowadays is though that almost everything is a modern shooting gallery with exceptions few and far between. even those former milsim like games.

I quoted the post mostly because he seemed to be referring to CS as a simulation.
I've played every CoD released so far, and imo, after UO it all went downhill - it was the last one in the entire series (which has been running for 8 sequels so far, if anyone's counting) that attempted to innovate.
True, it did cause a split in the original CoD 1 community, and some people didn't like the new gunplay (Lemon comes to mind - where is he anyways?),
but its combination of larger, longer and persistent SP levels and new MP modes were what made it my favourite CoD.
I need to stop posting in CoD threads, posts like this is what I always end up writing. :|

I'd hardly call it persistent but more pure nonstop grinding. Maybe the veteran difficulty was just somehow ****ed up beyond any belief but it's even worse than CoD2 about nonstop evil nazzee frogmen coming out of a water closet until you jump there ten times and toss a grenade in the toilet to make sure the respawn script stopped. Not to mention the bike chase scene was almost impossible because every rifleman suddenly were using prototype Mauser M134s and you had less than 0.1s time to react and if you didn't you'd better off pressing quick load or restart the mission if your quick save was mistimed.
Never really understood why since CoDUO the SP (at least to CoD4, the last CoD I've played) made the challenge about nonstop respawning enemy waves in every imaginable situation where the only way to play is to spam ****load of smoke and\or just rush through and hope you deactivate the respawn script in time.

Imho, the respawning was much worse in 2 - in UO it was only limited to a couple of places, iirc. And by persistent I meant that it had actual campaigns with missions that made sense and followed one another (with the obvious exception of the Brit campaign, of course), and that the equipment carried over from mission to mission.

Well my experience ->
CoD1 -> epic at the time, great atmosphere and I loved the MP because it was also extremely atmospheric imo
UO -> CoD1 but bigger and better
CoD2 -> felt like CoD1 but more polished, but on the other hand maybe a step back from UO and MP wasn't as atmopsheric and more focused on skill(as in a mp fps with ww2 setting as opposed to a ww2 game with teambased mp part)
CoD 3 -> didn't play. Is it worth getting for 15

Anyone that bashes Quake games is a complete brainless idiot.
Yahtzee talks out of *** to get truckloads of views but at least he did the right thing and give MW3 & BF3 both the award for most terrible game of the year.

I tried the CoD4/MW1 SP demo and stopped when I saw the game's (and the series') sole gimmick seems to be enemies respawning infinitely while you proceed along a shooting gallery.
