i am a bit suprised about the hate that is being put onto MW3 by the AG community.
... Aside from me -- and maybe ChillzMaster, who's really been hatin'?
Is it only because of the size and popularity of the franchise,
That's one of the reasons, and one of the primary ones -- although I think the lack of fundamentals is bad for any game of any scale (indie all the way to triple A) and really isn't something I would trust a CoD4-8 as an Indie Title if I knew it lacked that.
If I wanted to kick back I would play Magicka
or just because you don't think it is that great?
Both, really. I can't really think of me liking the game judging from its general game idea -- for what it is -- sure, it's awesome (if they fixed the fundamental problems as I've mentioned), but the idea of it is genuinely unappealing.
The campaign actually is better than what I thought it would be and I like the added killstreaks
These are two features I've already explained why they're kind of poor additions to the game :<
I also like the addition of the MOAB, but I might miss the tactical nuke. =P
MOAB?
Unless you're talking about the
Mother of all Bombs... I have no idea what you're talking about. :P
That's BS. It's the ongoing joke that MW3 is nothing more than MW2.5 and he's just playing along.
So are a lot of people who buy the games -- I'd say half the entertainment (almost definitely much more) is based on talking about it and playing it with friends.
That... and there isn't too much to actually make it to a full 3 :P
However, there are a lot of mechanics that have been changed, such as how perks work, how kill streaks work, and so on.
The way you gained pretty much everything changed with Black Ops... it honestly didn't mean much -- same here?
There have also been many changes to the perks and weapons have been rebalanced.
And so they bring in Quick Scope No Scope and allow Snipers to be the only dominant weapons.
Good logic
And no -- I don't mean they're the only actually dominant weapons -- if you want full view of game balance concerning weapons then I already posted about it
Anyone who says MW3 could have been a MW2 patch isn't using their head.
*Implement Balance Patch(es)*
*Major Content Patch (or knowing how CoD works, a DLC*
Done, a better game.
The graphics don't really have all that much room for improvement.
Go with improving animations, especially in buildings.
The game I hear plays the same, which is what everyone wanted, right?
The CoD fans (no, not "fanboys" -- I said fans) don't particularly care and will buy the game anyway. The CoD haters are either people like me (annoying, persistent, arrogant) or Battlefield fans (arrogant in a different way, ignorant, childish) generally.
Now we have a game like MW2 but with all the fixes everyone wanted and now people are still complaining!
There are still horrendous balance issues as far as I know. That... and what on earth do you expect? No offense but anyone who wanted anything like Modern Warfare 2 isn't bound to be all that reasonable.
I don't think it's fair to expect CoD to become a completely different game.
It's a Triple A FPS that is THE lead of the game industry and represents pretty much all game(r)s on the market. They cover their laziness (for the lack of a better word) with hype and obscure trailers. It's too easy to change the entire game with one simple thing -- because of the influence on the metagame. Being as they can't safely incorporate all the stuff they have now without having one thing objectively stand on top of the other, any additions they make is all for naught.
In you guys honest opinions is MW3 worth it.
Honestly? No :P
and the only FPS I have is Crysis 2 (Which was pretty epic)
CoD is much more simplistic in comparison -- and you're not as mobile. I would recommend you stick with what you have, but if you're gonna go ahead anyway I would say pick the one that's out now and enjoy having full servers in half a second.
I'm kind of sad that I finally have to get a COD game because almost everyone at school has it.
You don't have to get it -- hell, just do something more productive if you want.
Haven't you got Uncharted?
Try Battlefield 1943 on the PS3, if I remember correctly, it's free... that, and it isn't that poor of a representation of Battlefield 3 - just think about having more vehicles, more maps and more teamwork.
And no infinite ammo on a cooldown.
Good luck in your decision... I'd prefer you stick with Crysis 2 but hey...
your choice.
