I recently acquired MW3 and I started playing online, I am not interested in story mode. But the maps that I have played so far don’t really offer anything close to the previous editions of COD MW.
I don’t have too many readers so if you stumble on this post I will have you know that I completely skipped the Black Ops iteration of Modern Warfare. But MW3 has fallen short on Map supply for the online gameplay. I’m thinking on going back to MW2 and the original COD4 MW.
This iteration of MW is becoming a boring yearly recurrence like Madden or what-have you. They switch around a few things here and there, put out some garbage maps and there you have it the 2011 iteration of MW.
On MW2 they made a billion dollars but the maps were fantastic. They perhaps made a map-pack for MW2 which I wasn’t interested to buy, it should have been free. In addition it seems that now the map packs are a new way of increasing revenue. Perhaps this is the new strategy, produce something bad but quickly and then improve it with service packs, sounds Microsoftly familiar? The one good thing they added since Black Ops was the ability to play online split screen. However you can’t have two profiles signed in, just you + guest, or maybe that bug’s on PSN only.
The guns, there is some improvement there but definitely the attachments not a great improvement. They just switched around the perks a bit and voila, the New MW3.
They should have an online play section where you have the ability to choose all the attachments possible on your favorite weapon and three perks or more. They should name that version of online play, Loaded guns, No limit Death-Match, Weapons Reloaded, Loaded Weapon and the list could go on. Moreover the designers could take this to a new level and create a completely free character where you could completely customize it. And you can call it “Totally BadAss”.
In addition Activision should create a Map-Making Contest where everyone in the know can create the map of their dream and submit it. But this time they should go trough with it not like Infinity Ward on COD4 where they announced it and they never went trough with it. Moreover people should have the ability to create their own maps and play them online, however the process should be done on a computer with exactly the same tools the manufacturers used.
MW3, it could have been better, I’ll play it for now but totally disappointing! It’s definitely not worth 60 dollars!
I love the previous maps in COD MW, so whoever is responsible they should port them to the new MW3. All the maps from MW1, 2 and black ops.
It is good that now you can move your claymores and all the other deploy-able explosives, but it sucks that you can’t reload your (explosives, grenades, claymores, noob tube and what have you) with the scavenger perk. That makes the entire perk useless, why would I use scavenger if I only get bullets. I guess you win some, and you lose some.
I hope Valve will come up soon with something better for consoles because this series is going down the drain, and it’s not even rewarding the creative players. Valve had a map contest for HL2, where they appointed winners and everything.
Valve we need you BACK!!! Please step up to this plate, and take it further.
