[ALL] Modern Warfare 3

[StealthShot]

Just wanted to get thoughts on the campaign from the guys who have finished it.

 

What do you guys think they will do for the next campaign? Yuri was shot in the head, but it seems that Price could have made it back into everyones good graces and Frost (the playable character from Metal Squad) did not go on the rescue mission, so that could be the new Task Force 141.

Or they could go in a new direction, but I somehow doubt they are going to let Price stay on the sidelines and there was a purpose for Frost not being killed off.

 

If they were to make a MW4 I think they will have to start a new story this one seems pretty wrapped up I don't know where they will go from here.

I think they'll start a new story. They'll take Captain Price to whatever story they use, b/c remember, he was also in COD2.

There has been a price in every IW call of duty story

I never played the first one, so I wasn't sure if he was in that one or not.

It's over. The achievement for beating the game on veteran is "This Is The End"

I just can't see them taking this world any further.

Spoiler for the spoiler... don't click if you haven't finished the Campaign.

 

Treyarch gets the next game.

New Zombies Mode featuring Dead Gaz, Dead Roach, Dead Ghost and now... Dead Soap!

I'm really enjoying the campaign. I'm on like chapter 9 or 10? I really was not expecting much out of it but it's been damn good so far.

I also was impressed with myself when I immediately recognized the voice of Sandman in the cut scenes as this guy:

Also, Timothy Olyphant voices Grinch? No shit.

 

[spiker]

is it just me or are their people using lag switches b/c on some games a guy goes +12 and the whole time the game is lagging off and on

Possibly. The game has been laggy as shit so far so I'd guess it was just that.

I recognized Bruce Greenwood as Overlord right away, took me a little I realzed it was Fichtner for Sandman.

Pretty cool.

BTW.....hardcore MP still rules

Its a good thing I haven't run across many people using the Stealth Bomber unless I am playing with people from here. It is such a great perk I think, especially if you are playing Domination and are getting points for taking the objectives. Although when I hear it coming, I am very good about ducking inside a building to avoid it.

Apparently Louisville's problem is....

Charlie Strong has seen the enemy of Louisville’s focus, and its name is ‘Call of Duty’
By Matt Hinton


Typically, when coaches talk about the distractions consuming their players, they mean the Big Stuff: School, family, money, relationships. Times are hard. Earning a degree is hard. Kids come from some pretty hard places.

That's true at Louisville as well as anywhere else, and Charlie Strong is as accustomed as any coach to dealing with the diversions that follow his players into the locker room. As Strong admitted Monday, though, less than 48 hours after the Cardinals came out looking flat and unprepared in a 21-14 loss to Pittsburgh, his powers of motivation weren't able to overcome the release of an addictive new video game:

"Young people are dealing with so much," Strong said when talking about his team's lack of focus and preparation for the Pittsburgh game. "I told them Tuesday. I get them off the practice field and we weren't sharp, so you're thinking you come back on Wednesday and we weren't sharp then. There's a new video game that came out and those guys are so... I said, how can you allow a video game to take control of what you have in your hand and what's ahead of you[?]"

[…]

Strong said he told the team Wednesday, "This video game is that important? We'll see how important it is on Saturday. I said, in about a week or so, you're going to be throwing that video game away. But we let a video game take control of us. […]"

The video game in question is "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3," a hugely popular title released last week in which players are tasked with executing complex missions around the globe, preferably involving maximum carnage from their vantage point as a first-person shooter. Many thousands of potentially productive man-hours — quite possibly even a few by football players at Pitt — have been sunk into playing alongside other gamers in the game's highly popular online mode.

"Our guys talk about it. What's the buzz? You hear it all the time, what is it, 'Call to Duty,' the new video game out?" Strong said, slightly mangling the title. "So it was a call to duty [against Pitt] and they got called to duty Saturday."

Indeed: With Cincinnati's loss to West Virginia, Louisville had an opening to move into a tie with the Bearcats atop the Big East standings. Instead, it squandered the momentum of last week's upset over West Virginia with a home flop that left Cincy in sole possession of first place and the Cardinals caught up with four other teams — Pittsburgh, Rutgers, UConn and West Virginia — in a hopeless tangle with two conference losses apiece.

Whether he knows it or not, Strong may be on the cutting edge of neuroscience: Despite a strong push by engineers and other gamer-friendly types to spread the word that video games may actually improve cognitive abilities, a more recent study released in September says that's a lot of hogwash. So your parents were probably right about putting down the controller and going outside, after all. Now, reading football blogs, on the other hand...

 

[spiker]

I'm not sure if that's funny or not. I hope it's the last time I hear a coach blame his team's bad performance on a video game. How was Louisville doing this year up to Nov 8th, btw? 5-4 you say? Go figure. I don't know much about Charlie Strong but it sounds like he's got to go.

:wut: The only person I remember being as good from MM was MVPete

Were you not Monumental man or something like that?

That's another thing that pisses me off about CoD games in general. It's no fun at all just hiding in a building for five minutes while you wait for some AI controlled air vehicle that just basically hovers in place to finally leave.

At least in Bf you know it's an actual person at the wheel and they can rarely just hover in the air in the same place for minutes at a time, nor would they want to.

Or hiding in each doorway corner with a silenced weapon and a claymore in front of you.

Just finished the campaign. Very entertaining. I also got all 46 intel items. Now to go clean up some of the chapter specific trophies I missed.

Ummm....that's why you play with someone like me who has SAM Turrets and toting a Javelin/Stingers to knock that shit out of the sky.

Dead Silence pro is the best. I haul ass and jump off the highest places i can find and don't die.
