What's so bad about it?
Kinda glad I'm broke rn, othereise I'd probably have bought and regretted it by the sound of things.
Is it really as shit as they say?

You imply that you have MW2 and probably the recent Cods before that as well. If you enjoy the modern Codslop then there's really nothing wrong with MW3, it's just more of the same.
I heard it's just a glorified DLC tho
Like the campaign id ridiculously short, there's only a handful of maps and Zombies is a letdown
is 16 maps a handful?
16 maps with more coming post-release is a shitton, hardly a 'handful'
considering most of them aren't new, no
IGN didnt get the microsoft check and everyone now is trying to jump on the band wagon
The campaign is shit and it's basically just 70 dollar DLC for MW2 except unironically in this case since everything from that game is getting put in 3. Zombies is kinda fun but it's not worth the price.
How long will I be waiting for a cheap CDKey for my PS5?
im having fun in the multiplayer especially since all the guns and operators I got in 22 carry over. The maps are tried and true but not really people are finally realizing MW2 2009 really had some stinker maps like derail, Karachi, Wasteland, Quarry
Rundown is kinda garbage too.
I swear MW2 praise is just for highrise or Rust everything else is actually fricking gaaaaaaaaay
Single player sucks, multiplayer is great if you enjoyed MW2019, improved based on player feedback from MW2022
SBMM and horrible UI. The rest is just MW2 with map pack.
The SBMM argument is an argument co opted by youtubers who have brainwashed the masses into thinking its bad when they want easier content.
You can play a game like Titanfall 2 and see how fricked the game is without SBMM, it's extremely needed to prevent casuals from getting repeatedly curbstomped by nolifers
Titanfall 2 has SBMM its just so dead it doesnt kick in
Oh well regardless, it pretty clearly illustrates how fricked a game is when you don't properly separate 1000hr players from new players. Every time the game gets popular, lots of people pick it up for $2, get shit on repeatedly then immediately quit, and the population spikes and then starts dying again. You need only play a few rounds to realize why SBMM is needed.
SBMM is ok if it's used as intended
the way modern gaming uses it, it's to create a perfect 50/50 Win/Loss ratio to keep you artificially engaged.
You never really know if you're improving, feels artificial, and it's frustrating as all hell when you feel the game is rigged against you.
It's why you just don't let devs touch match making, they can't get it right or don't want to. Sure I can tell you what SBMM is in theory, but in practice it hardly ever works as intended.
>SBMM
Whats with this shit now? Why is it only a complaint in the FPS sphere? Whats with FPS players nowadays complaining about sweat lords so much? I see this in Halo infinite and apex legends but not in games like counter strike where playing to win is encouraged
COD youtubers used to make videos of them bulldozing casuals but with SBMM they can no longer do that, so they poisoned their youtube communities against it, even though for the average player it is largely a positive thing
Every major FPS COD, Fortnite, Apex all have SBMM this gets youtubers angry they cant post good and easy gameplays as much anymore so they make videos to "convince" the devs that its bad.
The thing is the same youtubers agasint it are all in personal meetings and get personal requests all the time and yet SBMM is never taken out.
Ganker is this guy a shill defending a shitty new rewrite or is he right?
This too
please go to /codg/ and own this dumb butthole shit who thinks shitting on the old trilogy is justifiable
I can't comment on the new ones but the originals did tend to have moronic plot points.
They follow the casings because they have no idea where Makarov is and the arms dealer is their best bet.
Shepard outright says Makarov works for the highest bidder. Him being there doesn't mean the attack is from Russians.
The guy is a moron
$70 DLC for MW2. Same game, just a few maps and guns added. SBMM still ruining multiplayer. God awful zombies mode. Dogshit joke of a campaign. Priority is still pushing Warzone and selling skins. It should have been $15-$20, but even then, it's bad and a technical mess.
Which youtubers told you that opinion? Especially with SBMM being your main highlights lmao.
Face it SBMM is a boogey man its like seeing a pro NBA player complain he cant stomp on the 5th grader league.
>Face it SBMM is a boogey man
Are you just pretending to be moronic?
>MY FAVORITE YOUTUBER SAID SBMM IS THE REASON YOU ARE DOING BAD
>YES ITS NOT ME ITS THE GAME!
>SWEATS ARE RUINING LE GAMING REMEBER BACK IN THE DAY WHEN GAMING WAS FUN
get fricking good
moron. SBMM is dogshit because in one game you can get paired against drooling morons and go 50-0 and feel like a God, and then the next game get paired against aimbot masters and go 0-50. It's a shitty lazy device that shouldn't even exist. People should be allowed to find their own servers/lobbies to play on and find people of similar skill to play against. You don't improve by playing against morons or by getting curb stomped.
Oh please, you wanted dedicated servers becasue you would kick any good players for playing too well. I know your kind and besides playing on games that still have dedicated servers like Team fortress 2 still has soldier mains stomp a whole server.
>I know your kind
ok schizo, don't forget to resub to MWIIII next year
SBMM becomes blatantly apparent when I play with my friend. Normally when I play solo I have more average games like you say, but my friend is a sweaty nerd. When we queue together I end up getting stomped on way more but he still leads the charts most of the time. So it doesn't feel like it does a very good job of balancing at all in a group. Maybe solo, sure. Poor implementation can lead to smurfing as well.
You're portraying SBMM as if the worst case scenario is common. For most people, they get matched to games that are roughly their skill level or slightly above or below. The only times you're going to get wild variations is when you've just started (system doesn't know your ELO yet), or if population is low and no good match can be made.
With that said, custom servers should always be an option, BF2042 and Team Fortress 2 struck a decent balance here.
you are describing the opposite of what SBMM does. it's true that some devs are not competent and will frick up the implementation of basic stuff like this, but you still want to play their badly made game, which is the bigger problem.
People are upset about the story missions a lot. Apparently single player is just solo Warzone mission, except it’s all open world AI type shit.
>Sledgehammer are lead devs
It was always gonna be shit.
Yeah Vanguard was so soulless. They got an amazing engine in MW2019 to build on and still managed to produce a turd game
>if server browsers still existed we wouldnt deal with sweats!!!!

Holy frick I think this needs to be its own thread the difference is astounding
What the frick happened to FPS games
Its not exactly true but on *average* I think gamers are better now then they were back then
Esports wasn't a thing in 2008, people played for fun, not to be as cancerous as possible like they do now
I think shit like this really breaks down the SBMM vs server thing. Even if games went back to a server browser system you wont go back to how people used to play games youll still run into the tryhards you hate so much.
Do people who play FPS games have fun playing them?
Why is gameplay back then so slow in comparison not even game speed people barely moved back in the day.
>good person joins server
>stomps
AAAAAAAA SAVE ME SBMM!!!!!!!!
If I didn't buy mw 2
Does that mean it's ok to buy this ?
I only really wanna play zombies as Lara Croft
it's good, it's the original mw2 maps not sure why that's a bad thing, yes it would be better as a remaster but it's the closest thing we will get
it also has war mode, ground war and invasion which I enjoy
and zombies is open world if you're into that
how young and dumb can you be to even consider buying a game this close to launch? a multiplayer game on top of that, those are even buggier at launch.
What do you mean? Get it now so you don’t get stuck with no unlocks
>What do you mean?
I mean stop buying games at launch. people's willingness to be early adopters of unknown quality products is WHY EVERY FRICKING PRODUCT SUCKS NOW. if they can get your money without having to first offer a good product then why would they ever make a good product?
People played the open beta a month ago, it's fine, there's no egregious bugs
The way people are talking about this open world zombies is like it's a whole other gamemode where you have to survive in a city, loot what you can, work with other random players in the world (or kill them) and extract.
I love how all my matches end with a D F AT, or a C ORY
I played MW2019 back around release as my first cod game in a long time and I was impressed with the visuals and found it a little fun. I got a little bit into microtransactions so I stopped playing since I was having a hard time restraining myself. I didn't want to get MW2 but I did so I could play with some friends (none of whom ended up joining me). The game is fortnite kiddie shit. Popular streaming app TV series characters running around, cartoon characters, fricking druidic tree-people comprised of roots hat are difficult to see. The non-paid characters are generic, ugly soldiers with few or no options to play a soldier with a face covering.
And you're forced to play with gamepad players using auto-aim. A game pad player just pulls their trigger when they run into an enemy when turning a corner and their aim snaps to target.
I won't ever buy a cod game again, it's just so shit.
MW2022 did frick up the game pretty badly, it's impressive they managed to go from a solid return to form in MW2019 to ruining it because of greed
They're probably more profitable than ever. Kiddies with credit cards, whales, and miniwhales are driving the videogame market and it's not leading to quality experiences.
I get that its financially rational to sell all this technicolor garbage, it just makes the game feel cheap and nasty. I wish 'game feel' was on the priority list but it clearly isn't. Even Rainbow Six has limits on how dumb they let their skins get, because they recognize it's immerson breaking to have a team of operators with some anime character embedded in them
>Even Rainbow Six has limits on how dumb they let their skins get, because they recognize it's immerson breaking to have a team of operators with some anime character embedded in them
anon...
welp, I'm wrong, all modern FPS games have this cancer now
What about Ground War mode? Is that still in and have like 40 vs 40 or whatever? I haven't played since MW2019 I think.
Ground War is identical to the MW2019 mode, they also brought back better industrial locales instead of weird desert maps like in MW2022
