Yes sir! Worst cod I have ever played. No patches for the out of map glitches, more lag then ever before. Semtex/frags are of no use, camping is worse than ever. Robert Bowling is harder to find than Waldo...Maps are too clustered with nothing going on but head glitching...shotguns are a joke.

And finally the spawns are fubar.


RIP COD 8/11/11

Kinda bored of the MP already. Maybe that will change if I go back but its just not as good as black ops imo. Bad maps are just bad. Matchmaking is sh!te on PC, no swan dive, bad spawns, assasin.

Worth it for the SP alone for me but MP just doesn't compare to black ops and doesn't even rate close to battlefield. I will give infinity ward one thing though! they sure do know how to decive people into giving them their monies year in year out.

Played it four days solid last week
Absolutely love it but not having any lag issues that is killing it for a lot of people

None of the above - happy enough at the moment, not ecstatic though.

I think its a little premature to condemn the game 9 days after release. Give them time for the first substantial patch. If that doesn't fix it, then feel free to noob-tube it out the door.

Yes, they should have had the ranges on guns fixed. They are working on it - the SPAS range has increased and the 95 has definitely been nerfed - and proper too!

Re glitches, in fairness, all of the maps are new and notwithstanding the fact that they had tonnes of time to test the gameplay, some of them only come out in the wash after being released to the public.

Spawns should definitely be fixed, Assassin, the Elite website and connection issues in games also.

My verdict is..

it has the potential to be a great game... we'll have to wait and see if the aftercare which was promised materialises.


On a side note, I believe that there is now a lot less fixation on stats - alot of the people I play with are less concerned with their K/D ratio, and are now legging it about the place actually having fun while trying to win games. I can only conclude this is due to the lack of readily available stats in the lobby (sorry Floyd). This has always been the way I've played, and I think its a definite improvement.

poll lacks option: SP was nice; MP was er...

Enjoyed the campaign but I will be spending more time on TF2.

Single player campaign is great popcorn fun so far. Really enjoying it

Spec ops is also fantastic craic.

however the big one, the real reason we buy the game; Multiplayer

-maps are far too small, it seems once you get a kill you die
-SMG or bust seems to be the only option now for kills
-Killstreak rewards are frivalous now, no sense of achievement anymore, and makes your own life less valuable in-game
-Quickscoping has become even easier, that even I can snipe with ease

Having great fun with it spent over 26 hours so far on it, fair enough lag is a pisser but to be honest not as bad for me as blops was and the maps are grand once you get used to them, K/d is not an issue because I simple don't give a **** about it I play to have fun not a rage fest, loving the fact you can hear some one for a few seconds after you kill them, loving the fact I can take out 3/4 people at the same time, it's made me a much improved player so thumbs up from me;)

Nalz

Love it... I'm not a mega positive killstreak hunter so if the game plays well with a bunch of mates and you have a laugh then I'm more than happy.

Kill confirmed, domination and HQ keep me entertained for hours. Maps are a bit messy and smallish and the spawning can be a bit messed up at times (the amount of times I spawn right into a bullet or shoot a guy in the back the minute I respawn is way more frequent then MW2 or Blops).

Quickscoping is back....grrrrrrrrrrrr but if it happens to much too me I just bring out the noobtube class

All and all it gets the thumbs up for me.

Anyone encounter any boosting yet?

Shammy

Campaign was ok .

Enjoying multi-player so far .

Love spec-ops .

stampydmonkey

Yay, really enjoy MP when I get on but can take ages for me for some reason. When I get an invite tho or join a game I'm straight in. Like the levels, and the non stop action and also the strike packages. Haven't played much of SP yet so will reserve judgement.

Plumpynuter

I much prefer it to black ops and MW2. Feels responsive and fast and balanced to me. I like the new maps as they force people to play out of their comfort zone. I like the toned down explosion damage. Hit detection is good and runs very smooth on XBL. Map design solves quick scope issue and shotguns are about right to me. Elite is just about there now and is a great addition to the series.

I am looking forward to the new maps.

krudler

underwhelmed so far.

The Pros:
single player was great, really enjoyed it.
spec ops is brilliant, its a game in itself.
the sound, back to is glorious self.
looks fine, moves at a great framerate(when not lagging)
specialist setup is brilliant
kill confirmed is class
like that streaks are more support based, everyones running uavs and sam turrets opposed to chopper gunners and ac-130s, I've seen 3 legit ac-130s so far not care package ones.
guns are cool.

Cons
Elite not working properly even now, a joke for a paid service.
Some maps are fine, some are crap.
spawns are AWFUL. guys spawn behind me even at my own domination flag ALL THE TIME. spawns flip even though the teams are on opposite sides of the map. fix them or it'll ruin the game.
lag, lag. laggggggggggggg on ps3. 4 bar connection, framerate drops, random pauses, emptiing clips into people and gettnig hitmarkers.

if the lag and spawn issues are fixed then grand, will get back into it, until then its spec ops and Skyrim for me.

TerrorFirmer

I think it's good - great SP and Spec OPs modes, worth of the price alone - but the multiplayer is cracking too, though I've yet to find a true classic map, like Terminal in MW2. The only con at this point for me is the atrocious spawning online, it's dreadful.

Battleflag

23 hours in now..

First few days I was blown away by it, think the new point streaks and game modes are great but now I I'm thinking "meh". I'm a bit disappointed there hasn't been any change to the game. I knew full well what to expect out of it when I bought it and was equally happy to part with my money as Im a huge cod fan.
But now that it's here I'm disappointed. Ah well, another prestige will really make my mind up.

Poor map design and the community are very hard cons to forgive.

The gun sounds, gameplay and quality are very good though. The dlc will make or break it for me, if they are good maps then it will clear 50% of my gripes.

thewing

As an old skool gamer who took a long hiatus from quake, unreal tournament and counter strike (at its peak) to return to shooters with blops, I am not enjoying MW3 - camping is mental, spawns are brutal, air support is worth at least 5 or 6 kills if no one takes 'em down and the lag is brutal at times.....they better get busy quick with the patches before i'm off to battlefield to check that out..

SooooBored

Yay .

These game's will always take a few weeks to settel down, with players finding there best classes, perks, get used to the maps and what not.

With the game only costing 53 blips ya cant really argue. I got close to 20 days game play in Black Ops which works out bout 11cent per 1 hour of game time.
Ive often paid 200 euro for 1 hour where I also get to shoot :eek:

I love MP. It takes time for a patch to be released and certified. Im not experiencing much lag (Xbox).(For those complaining about lag, what console are you on?) The only problem i have is with the spawns. They need to be addressed. Every game has issues on release so i wouldnt go saying its rubbish so quickly

Havent played SP
Spec ops is great
MP is great. (Just needs a few minor tweeks)

My opinion.

It doesn't a whole lot of time to say on Twitter that we are addressing the issues and a patch will be released Silence has been deafening.

Not every game has issues on release.

_______________________________

To keep it brief...

Against better judgement, I'll wait for the patch. But up to now, multiplayer has sucked. Spec Ops and Campaign are excellent though.

I agree with you there that IW have been fairly quiet lately. Havent seen a tweet from Bowling in a long time. When i say every game i mean a cod title. My bad.

No bother. Lag (or simply hits not registering for whatever reason) wise which seems to be the main problem for many thus making it unplayable for the most part wasn't an issue in COD3, COD4, MW2 and BOPS as least.

If they put a classic MW2 map in the dlc and use the current spawn system I'll cry.

Modern LAGfare 3 is a piece of junk and should never have been released.

When he had all the knowledge and us none the prick could say what he wanted, now that he's showed his hand, he's backing off. I've a feeling this is gonna be another MW2.

Lab_Mouse

Happy enough with it.

Like the maps.Couldnt care less about snipers whinging that there's no big open maps so that they can camp like biatchs and work a kill streak.


The killstreak classes are a good idea and I think the MOAB is a hell of a lot better than the nuke .

Having said that it does have its issues but hopefully they will get it sorted out.

Finally,and I've said it before,Its only 50 odd euro for the game so its more than likely you'll get your monies worth.

cherryghost

Undecided.

Single player was alright, multiplayer has glitches, stupid hitboxes, and terrible spawnpoints. Maps are designed in such a way that its basically a cluster****.

Probably skewing towards dislike but I'll keep at it for another bit.

Loving the Wii version still though :P

complete nay. spawns, guns, sound, maps, lag, killstreaks, looks, all terrible. will wait for a patch. ive only put in 4 hours since launch day which works out at 10.50 an each hour of misery. to make things worse a patch for MW2 was released TODAY.

:eek: any idea what it does. I've been told by the ppl I play with if they catch me on it again they'll "break my legs" but I do have a second secret account for such reasons
