(I know... a came to that conclusion on very little footage :P... but sure its better not to expect too much and not be disappointed if it turns out that way)

Exactly, its like 3 seconds of footage and after watching and analysing it once I'm guna not do so again, try not to over-hype it in my mind. I am liking the new mini-map details and that it wasn't a snow map in the MP trailer lol!

The UAV is crazy detailed compared to the last ones.

Little bit concerned by that tbh, every kill streak had a down side like the remote control ones took you out of the fight and vulnerable and UAVs was that it didnt give any depth on the map so on multi level maps it wasnt fool proof. With the new map it looks almost isometric. It wont be totally accurate as to what level the opposition are on but it will defo give a lot more info compared to mw2s map..... dud move imo.

Why ?

Personally i think the close games are always the best games, they dont even have to be 2 partys of 6, if its a party of 3 vs 6 then have a system that'll try and get 3 randomers that are roughly on the same level as the other team. Doesn't have to be super strict, but at least make it more of a challenge than it is right now where you'll have a full party of players with say 2-3 K/D players vs 6 randomers with 1.5 and lower K/D's. May as well be playing vs bots as you'd get more of a challenge. Noone benifits from these kind of games because for the group its just more of the same ole spawn trapping killstreak stacking, while the randomers aren't getting a chance to improve their own game. Usually resulting in lots of rage quits.

just to clear that up. the problem i was foreseeing was joining together 2 groups made up of parties of similar size and skill . as in one team is made up of a group of 4 players that are good and a group of 2 players that are excellent and then finding a team also of 4 and 2 that are good and excellent. the problems i found sometimes is that as a good player your team mates can be lacking. so despite a flawless game on your part your still a loser. or your in a group of good players but one or 2 on the team are poor and they give the game away. it just doesnt seem possible to have a matchmaking system that can group people appropriately according to party size and skill. which i think would make games closer and cut out pub stomping/getting raped

Im not entirely sure what you mean, but matching groups with groups WILL make the games more fair.. be it you have 2 random noobs or 2 random pro's. Compared to what you get now where it will be a group vs a bunch of usually average to poor players. Your still going to have one sided games but you'll also have far more challenging games. I really don't get what would be so hard about making a match making system like that. I can almost imagine the code in my head (A very basic form obviously :P) and its not like other games don't have it.

The way i'd imagine it working is say every player has a "Player score" based off of your K/D + W/L. A groups combined playerscore is then used to try and match up against another groups playerscore..... and if that fails then 6 randomers whos combined score is about the same, it doesn't have to be 4+2 vs 4+2, it can be any kind of matchup as long as the combined scores are roughly the same.

I mean even in random solo games you can have 12 players playing on their own and still the teams can end up very unbalanced. I've had that happen loads of times where you'll have the top 3 or 4 players from the previous game end up on the same team next game against 6 sub 1 k/d first prestegers.

HoN has a great lobby balancing system that would work well for balancing teams in CoD.

Juggernaut Killstreak = IW attack dogs

Sure you didnt just read my comment :P

Looks the exact same as COD4 and MW2? Why didn't they just release the maps as DLC?

everlast75

Dogs with explosives??


Reminds me of that bit from the Simpsons....

Homer: Or what? You’ll release the dogs, or the bees, or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you? Well, go ahead—do your worst!


Great to see Riot Shield back!!

You blind? There was alot of different stuff in the trailer, it not even the normal multiplayer

.E_C_K_S.

Game looks great, don't want to hype it too much or it will turn out to be a steaming pile of $hit like MW2. Looking forward to Multiplayer footage.Any confirmed dates yet?

dre_jspeed

If i wasn't told that I watching a trailer for MW3. I really thought I was watching a COD4 montage on youtube.

Time too replace the frost bite engine me thinks.


Come Infinity Ward finger out

Is there something wrong with the graphics?

Also, it seems that the riot shield is destructible...

My pointis CORaven is that infinity ward need to build a new engine, it has been nearly 4 years. The graphics look the exact same as COD4. Which isn't good enough for the "Best" online FPS series of are time.

The graphics are so much better than COD4. If you had said the graphics are similar to MW2 graphics I would have agreed with you.

sierra117x

they could step up the graphics a bit. the cartoony(in my oppinion) graphics from battlefield threw me off. but now they've improved them a lot.......and cod are still the same old same old. id say the in game skins are the same but the hud has been improved. looks sharper and newer. and that crazy detailed uav. but a new hud isnt much of an improvement

His point was he was unsure if you were trolling or not :P Since the frostbite engine is BF's.


Im happy enough with the graphics, looks slightly improved on MW2 which isn't that bad.

frostbite is Battlefields engine. which is the engine at the mo going on the footage from it, looks stunning.

From looking at the last bit of clip with regards the multiplayer, it seems to me that it wasn't a "bouncing betty" that killed him but the ac130, the ac130 icon came up in the bottom corner. This looks like a new ac130 killstreak at 4 kills and not a bouncing betty.

It further indicates that killstreaks count towards other killstreaks. There was 13 out of the 14 bars full yellow. When the enemy trips the explosive, the player is given a 14 killstreak; Juggernaught. Then the killstreak bar in the bottom right goes to 4. That means that either the killstreak bar reset back to 4 meaning the ac130 bomb is a 4 kill killstreak or less likely there is another killstreak at 18. Seeing as there is the animated icon of an unmistakable predator missile I'd nearly rule out the second scenario but for one small thing.

There is a small but discernable right arrow next to the predator before the 14th kill and afterwards there are 2 new arrows. One up and one down to go with the original right arrow. Maybe there is a 4th killstreak?

From the few seconds of multiplayer:

The ac130 bomb is a 4 kills killstreak,
There is a predator missile between 4 and 14 kills in a killstreaks (duh!)
(Some?) Killstreaks count towards other killstreaks.
Robert Bowling is really bad at his own game.
That fmg9 looks class.
