[CoD MW3] General News and Discussion

Really? When was the last some one complained about Willy Petes/ Smoke 'Nades.

There's a limited throw distance on them so it would be hard to launch it into a spawn at the start of a match, a launched smoke grenade would presumably go as far as the current launched frags and it's not beyond comprehension that people would misuse it.

There are plenty of great new ideas for MW3 but the fact is you have to consider the lowest common denominator in COD; the player that will abuse anything just to get a kill, they abuse ghost/motion sensors, OMA/DC, Javelin glitches, you could give them something that would be cool to the average player and they'll find a way to piss people off with it.

With the popularity of the series right now and with past history of the community being pissed off by at least one perk/gun/map etc. in every game, the creators need to consider not only how something can be used but how it could be misused.

How would smoke in your spawn at the start of a match be a problem? A launchable stun grenade followed by normal grenades, now that would be a b1tch.

Of course people will use anything to get them kills, or even ahead in any aspect. It is just that the concept of launched smoke screens is hard abuse. Any mistreatment can be nerfed in not eliminated through tweaking of their advantages and the imposing of stock and usage limitations. I would find it difficult to see significant abuse arising from their use if they had the limitations I described earlier, and possibly by only giving one smoke per spawn (for connection reasons).

Team 1 fires smoke into team 2's spawn, T1 proceeeds to ADS at the smoke waiting for T2 to emerge. More of a problem on small maps than large

This is all hypothetical, we don't know if it would be a problem or not, chances are it won't be, it might not even be in the game, though it's better to consider all possibilities, IW obviously didn't consider OMA/DC would be abused but it was.

Easily dealt with by using the grenade launcher delay but this is just at the start of a match. I cant think of anywhere during a match where it would be better than a normal smoke grenade unless maybe they had regular smokes and tube smokes which wouldnt be balanced.

Maybe a camper or two hanging back launching smokes while the rest of the team pushed on could be abused slightly.

Im not arguing for the use of them btw, this is just what popped into my head when I saw these posts.

Smoke nades isnt a bad idea, my only problem with it would be that people have far too much equipment already. In one warlord setup you could have a smoke nade + 3 Flashes + Claymore + 2 Grenade.... which is insane imo... basically turning you into a one man army.

If you're anticipating the #MW3 Spec Ops Survival Mode trailer we've been working on, I just reviewed and sent final edits back to the team!

About bloody time!!!!

I had both MW2 on ps3 and xbox and Blops on both and they both looks better on the xbox, brighter, textures are better, colours are stronger. Thats probably more to do with the seksbox being the lead development console though. Theres barely any noticable difference between a lot of ports though, sometimes the xbox gets the better one, like Bayonetta, and sometimes the ps3, like FFXIII.

Yeah it just depends which console is lead platform (Nothing to do with game genre :P). MW2 runs fine on PS3 and at this stage blops is fine(Has been for a long time). Apparently there is no lead platform for MW3, they're being developed side by side, so no shoddy ports like the PC/PS3 release versions of blops. Likewise with BF3, PC being the lead platform will probably lead to both console versions being very similar.. (Although rumours atm are that the xbox version is having some problems)

Not on some of the maps. It's still nowhere near the buttery smoothness I experienced on mw2 and Blops on xbox for that matter.. Maybe it's just my ps3 !
