Tbh, I know I bitched about QS sometime, but it seems like it's not as fast as MW2 (I could be corrected). Hopefully most ZzirGrizZ fanboys will keep to the dedicated sniper lobbies .. hopefully.

Yes, as my previous post saying they need to find a balance, well, it looks like they've found it!

Just can't see that happening. People might go there to learn how to become a "real" sniper - AKA quick scoping and then just jump back into normal games of search for the epic YouTube moment Killcam.

I don't like quickscoping...at all. I think they're appealing to sell to trickshottzzsxopesss folks.

I like the SpecOps survival modes, and the fact you can play on 16 maps.

The more i see the more i like tbh, lots of gun on gun, noobtubes are apparently ****, quickscoping is back, elite sounds awesome and the maps look great.... #smbbf3+uc3

I love the M4 looks like ze sex!!!!!!

Death streaks only 5 seconds now

Im still not entirely sold. Im goin to get the game anyway but I just hope it works on a technical level unlike blops which the ps3 and pc got shafted, proper hit detection and a decent host system

From Sam5000's Twitter..

Also something that i haven't seen people mention is the fact you can have different killstreak setups for each class.

and

On top of that your killstreaks cycle. So if you run 2,3,5 and get a 10 killstreak, you get those killstreaks twice in your life.

..not sure what to make of the second one, he just tweeted saying KS stack. Does that mean we get say 5 kills, let off a pred get a triple and you're back up to 3?

He means your killstreaks repeat, you don't have to die to get a UAV if you already got your Juggernaut, once you hit your top killstreak your killstreak goes back to 0

Yes I gathered that, but if it reset to 0 and then you used your top Killstreak does that count towards the new counter? I'm sure IW would think this beforehand, but in theory there's nothing to say otherwise.

I don't think killstreaks stack, but one of them carries over through deaths.

The game is looking seriously noob friendly in comparison to Black Ops. 80 levels to prestige aswell, its going to take forever. Some great information here

Every CoD game after CoD2 has been noobfriendly :P Besides, 90% of the people that play the game are noobs, appeal to the masses !

80 levels tho.... im guessing xp wise it'll take about the same time as blops/mw2 did to get max level.

True but a 7 killstreak to equip all the perks in the game sounds a bit ridiculous lol

I dont mind that tbh, its good for gun on gun gameplay, would rather watch/play that than how people play blops where its 3 or 4 mins of running about killing people and another 4 minutes of letting your killstreaks do the work. At least you have to aim with the specialist package and one lucky shot and your back to zero.

Im just concerned about the assault killstreaks tbh, seems like its gonna be more of the same with it, but thankfully if you want you can pretty much nullify most of them with support package.

We'll have to see i guess, i'll reserve judgement till i play it. Worst case scenario... it'll last me (Along with bf3) till CS:GO :P

It really seems to me that they have just lifted the best parts of Homefront and added them to MW3.

I heard a rumour that we'll be getting it a week or 2 early

so are the consoles getting dedicated servers and was those perks that woody had on his channels right?

hmmm that's strange I also heard that i'll be getting it early too

Snake Plisken

Looks basically like a MW2 mappack, 80 levels to prestige is going to suck as well

Right I've been away all night (and now have a shiny macbook pro to show for it ) just watched the 40 odd mins video and theres a lot of stuff I like. the dual scopes are cool, having red dots and 4x on the same gun is nifty. the sound is as fantastic as ever, graphics are nice, nothing massively different to MW2 but still looks bright and a massive improvement on Blops. there's a massive, almost baffling amount of perks,streaks and customisable stuff, gonna be fun playing around with all of it. like how you dont have to do challenges to unlock attachments now, so long fmj kills :pac:

no RPD though, ragin :mad:

oh, and NOBODY will want to be on the French team :pac: I hate that announcers voice already lol

GEasy

Looks like I've some catching up to do ! What's this codxp malarky ? I've fallen behind it seems .

Does anyone know if the consoles will get dedicated servers?

don't be silly. Dedicated servers cost more money than conventional P2P tech

Knowing how cheap activision are what do you think?

redman85

By popular demand, Modern Warfare 3 will support dedicated servers, allowing players to browse, filter and join dedicated servers as they wish. Players can set up their own servers and administer them with direct control over features such as game rules, setup and ban lists.

My guess is this is for PC. oh well
