Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Um... whatever it is, it's not fake.

It's a live action Modern Warfare trailer.

It's too high budget to be a fake anything.

Official announcement very soon?

could be a movie, wouldn't be half bad actually.

Kotaku has leaked details.

Biggest thing: it's a direct sequel to MW 2.

Now thats promissing

Lets see this time if they can do something better then the godawful history of Black Ops, and a better balance

You expected HARD HISTORY from a video game, let alone Call Of Duty?!

Whats so bad about it?

Anything is possible. Althougt I do admit than I dont really care that much about the story (And I dont think anyone really does that much...), I guess its ok. Who knows, maybe it will even be favorable or something idk.

At least it isn't a prequel with ghost in it then.

I was like "What's the big deal about this thing?" and my friend, which in retrospect is a really dick move, showed me the ending of Modern Warfare 2 and the infamous nuke scene.

It sucks that I am spoiled (he pretty much told everything else and I know all the spoilers from MW 2 thanks to him) but the ending? That's the most awesome thing I ever seen! I can't wait to actually play it. Is everything else throughout the play that awesome?

You can't really get spoiled on Modern Warfare 2's story because half the story isn't told and the other half makes no sense.

Well, all the better for me.

Speaking of spoilers, Kotaku has revealed anything they possibly can about MW3, including plot twists and spoilers, before the game was even fucking announced.

Spoilers, obviously.

Oh wow. Someone is losing their job for this.

...And they're saving face by releasing the first teaser.

So we're having a firefight in New York. This would be revolutionary if had it not been done to death before Activision got its grubby hands on it.

In other news, I discovered this. Which is ten times better than anything Activision can make.

Oooh, I can't wait to buy Battlefield 3 and ignore this.

That. Is. Amazing.

Now it's England.

I honestly don't feel like hating for the sake of hating. Gonna see how it goes first.

One thing I noticed is how Co D games tend to be extremely hectic and fast-paced with no time to breathe, where areas in the Battlefield games it can actually get slow, almost relaxing even.

You know, one thing I'd like to know is what exactly causes the tremendous Hype Backlash faced by the Call Of Duty series.

Oh yeah, looks like teasers for France and Germany are out.

Though it does look really exaggerated. It would make way more sense if it took place in an alternate Cold War. Maybe World In Conflict: the FPS.

Simple. Call of Duty games are essentially marketed to mass of jocks and "hardcore" gamers as Micheal Bay movies: paper-thin plot, forgettable characters, and explosions everywhere. It's easy for people to get trapped in the hype, only to be heavily disappointed.

Please don't turn into one of those hatedom types who bash a game just because it's become mainstream, I find that awfully annoying and hypocritical.

But even then I'm kind of disappointed that they've decided to turn Russia into an all-out evil antagonist so much to the point that they've become the Soviets from the C&C Red Alert series (even down to the surpise attack on NYC!)

It's no secret that America and Russia aren't the best of friends, but I really don't think they should be the Antagonist in damn near every game. Though it would make sense in this specific one, since the heroes would be trying to get back at Makarov for what he's done.

American forces could easily be the antagonists in some missions; Shepherd's lies may be to the truth to most of them. Soap and Price might be targeted or they might escalate the conflict with Russia.

Don't worry. I hate Modern Warfare 2, but I have pretty good reasons to. It was buggy as shit on launch, deathstreaks reward losing with overpowered abilities, killstreaks reward sitting in a corner and letting your airplanes and helicopters do shit for you, they can't balance weapons for shit. main story was filled with plot holes and was about 4 hours long, etc.

Wel I for one always thougt than the game was FUN, despiste all of what you said (Witch I dont belive its true, anyway. Well except for a couple of weapons, maybe)

Then again this was one of the first FPS than I have ever played, so I may be a bit biased. And I started playing this game about 1 month ago, so I guess I am a bit late.
