Post: Why I believe Mw3 wasn't as good as expected.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); 5 reasons why Mw3 is why it is and what could make it better!

1. The Challenges were almost exactly the same.
Only around 1/4 of them were either changed or added. Some titles and emblems were awarded for the same things e.g. How the...? was awarded for shooting an explosive through a material However you awarded the same emblem from mw2!

2. The killstreaks were absolutely crap.

The assault killstreaks - They were alright, I liked reaper, assault drone, and AH-6. I hated IMS because everyone just shoots at it because a about 1 mag of shooting it, it would already be gone! Strafe run for me was basically a boosting machine, every time it was called in, all you needed was blind eye and a stinger to shoot all 5 down, and for this to be possible, having it as a 9 killstreak was a bloody waste of 9 kills. I actually liked juggernaut because of the absolute carnage it caused! The Osprey Gunner is just again a waste, as soon as it comes in, some douche with a stinger would almost immediately shoot it down before it even droppped the packages. but what p***** me off the most was that 8/15 killstreaks stayed the same from mw2

Support Strike Package - This was ok in the first sort of prestige, however it is a right frustrating thing because now noobs, (people who get 18 kills and 59 deaths in domination) can now be rewarded for camping and spraying at someone!

Specialist Killstreaks - This is a nice addition and I liked it, having more than 3 perks is a great boost in killstreaks for the next generation of call of duties, I don't think I have anything bad to say about this however please feel free to leave any comments.

3. A Shocking Choice of Guns - How come the same guns keep arriving? M16, AK47 and MP5 - these guns have been in the recent CoDs - CoD 4, Mw2, Black Ops and Mw3 - (however the Spas wasn't in CoD 4, and also I am super sorry, I didn't get W@W :O) How come the AK47 makes it into every game, and no I don't mean just a few, I mean every single gun warfare game, GTA, All CoDs, - however big up to battlefield 3 who don't have it! I just hate seeing that sight with the U and the l inside it. Its an ugly gun and overused, built by the Russians, although I only see a few people use it. - The MP7 is a gun once unlocked everyone used, also who didn't use there prestige token to get it in there 1st prestige, if you didn't am 70% sure you will buy it with one of your prestige tokens in your next prestigious futures. Knifing I find really annoying, someone will walk round the corner, they'll dodge and turn round and kill me with there gun, I hardly ever get knifed anymore, also when I do knife, it is absolutely inconsistent, one time it will lunge, the next time it'll just stay in an area just like CoD 4. And am sure you all know, the PP90M1 is overused and noobs spraying everywhere!

Game Modes - Kill Confirmed and Team defender, they were originally the first newest game modes added to the game, and IW knew this ao they had to add, Drop Zone, Infected, FFA Gunplay and the all knew face off maps, but now they have the issue of boosting which I love!

Maps - I am fairly mediocre on the maps, Mission, Arkaeden, Dome and Seatown are in my opinion, the best. I hate snowy map, (sorry outpost, derail etc). The DLC is quite good, the maps are fun and big, but take a lot of getting used to.

Past CoDs - MW2 was simply unexplainable, it was absolutely taken by storm, so it was hard for the next CoDs to beat it, so I feel the next CoDs to try and equal the population and liking that MW2 received. I would still be playing that if hackers hadn't killed it (don't blame 'em it was just so easy and fun to bypass the patches!)

And finally - MW3 were so fast to take our hard earned money, espescially in rough economical times like this, but them being fortune earners, couldn't they just take the fame rather than the fortune and make the best cod ever? taking at least a billion dollar cut for the fastest and best selling franchise in the world will take a turn for the best, more people will buy a better game, therefore generating a lot of money for it being a massively big and popular game, money for it winning awards and also having to make a later release for the next CoD, this will give time for the next CoD to make it better ,therefore not rushing it and making it a better game, so taking a loss one year will increase the long term success for the future :jim:

- I hope it doesn't sound like I am a hardcore hater, but I am sorry if I am, It may also sound like I am a noob on MW3 but I am actuall pretsige 14,and have a ratio of 2.61, so for a person like me to complain, I think there are a few issues with this game.

God. Everyone complains about guns. The ONLY gun you should ever complain about is the Type 95. The PP90 SUCKS at longer range and the MP7 gets demolished by the PM9 at close range. These sub-machine guns are made for CQB, so that means stop taking the small cornered, no cover routes; and start using your weapon to its range advantage.

Assault Rifles = Stay at places with a lot of cover and a lot of traffic running through, you'll have the advantage.
SMG = Run tighter routes to rush and quickly kill enemies that are in the open.

Im sure i don't need to mention the rest.
Also, it's funny because the AK47 was in the BF3 beta.

Also, in maps like Dome, there are no real "longer ranges" except for suicide routes through the middle.

yeah, i agree with almost ALL of this, you really did a good job on this post. the only thing that i would disagree on is the weapon recycling throughout the COD series. the AK-47 and the M16 are two of the most iconic firearms in history, so i would expect them to leave them in the game. besides, we all know that both the m16 and the AK-47 suck in mw3 anyways. the m16 is weak, and the AK-47 has a very unique recoil pattern that almost everybody hates b/c it has more horizontal kick than almost all the other weapons.

and the fact that the M16 resembles the American forces, whereas the Ak-47 resembles the Russian forces

The Challenges was some bullshit. Same damn titles and emblems. I don't understand why they didn't give gold titles for the Stinger, RPG, Reaper etc. It was half ass on IW side.

The main thing is that they spend 2 years in developing mw3 while it's clearly a copy paste.

I do agree with you about the titles/emblems and challenges. I was really hoping for completely new titles and emblems with MW3, but I guess IW lacked creativity a bit...

Modern Warfare 3 was only made to finish the story, it wasn't made for a huge multiplayer. Hence why 90% of it is stuff we have all seen before. They didn't put all there work into Mulitplayer because at the start of development for MW3, Infinity Ward wasn't sure if there was gonna be an Infinity Ward to due to legal battle between Activision and IW. So all action was focused on the story line.
