An old engine that has un-noticeable tweaks, and gameplay that looks exactly like MW2 with some different guns, the guns even have the same sounds as MW2 (e.g the MP5).
It's just going to be a re-hash of MW2 and a waste of money.

Battlefield 3 innovates and is bringing some of the best graphics to the table along with it's new edition of the Frostbite engine.

How on Earth do you come to the conclusion that MW3 is going to be better?

Its got the UMP-45 the game is already Runied!

1) Same old, same old.


The Call of Duty formula has not really changed since Call of Duty 4. Whilst minor modifications have been made to the engine, each new iteration is essentially a cosmetic rehash of the previous. Whilst Treyarchs efforts have brought about some initiative into the series such as through the Zombie mode, Infinity Wards efforts have been lacking. Spec Ops of Modern Warfare 2 was nowhere near as engaging as the co-op play offered in World at War. Treyarchs trend continued in Black Ops with another Zombie mode with 2 excellent maps and showed creativity in the wager matches and COD Points that brought about a new feel to the multiplayer yet the core gameplay remained very similar. Unless major changes are made, then Modern Warfare 3 will probably play a great deal like Modern Warfare 2 and with the series being so lucrative for Activision, its highly unlikely that any drastic changes will be made to a winning formula.



2) DLC


Its almost a dead-cert that a lot of features will be left out of the core game to sell as DLC. As if 40 wasnt enough for a short SP campaign and a select few maps, feel free to fund Activision by paying 10 for another 3 maps every few months. Oh, and if you dont get it youll probably be the only friend that hasnt done so. Awkward. At least with World at War and Black Ops map packs you had a zombie map to go with it (which was often a great deal of fun to play with friends) but map packs for Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2 were simply rushed, badly designed and cash cows.



3) Release timing.


A Call of Duty iteration has been released around October-November every year since 2005 in order to appease the mass market rush of the holidays. However, this year November is proving to be a great month for gamers. Uncharted 3, Assassins Creed Revelations, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and more are all scheduled for release shortly before or after the release of Modern Warfare 3. Many people will simply be unable to afford all these games so a new Call of Duty might have to take the backseat! However, this is usually the case most years and Call of Duty comes out on top of the charts so Activision need not worry whilst superior games linger in the shadows.



4) Battlefield 3.


Maybe this should have gone under Point 3 but I felt it deserved its own point. Lets not beat around the bush, Battlefield is easily one of the best FPS series to date. Whilst previously it was the turf of hardcore PC gamers, the release of the games on consoles beginning with Battlefield 2: Modern Combat has brought the Battlefield series to a much wider audience. Battlefield: Bad Company caught the eye of many gamers with its destruction-centred Frostbite engine and the sequel is currently regarded as one of the best shooters this generation. With the series reverting to its roots away from the Bad Company spin-off, Battlefield 3 clearly has the potential to become the greatest shooter to grace gaming. With the in-depth and addictive multiplayer of the previous Battlefield games modernised with the Frostbite engine, this is set to be one of the best shooters that the gaming world has seen.


5) The Single-player campaign.


Just like CoD4 and especially Modern Warfare 2, expect a very short single-player. Yes, it may be impressive and resemble a Michael Bay movie but at the end of the day a game should be able to stand on its own via the single-player campaign and in modern times, building a game solely around the multiplayer is not good practice. Many people buy the Call of Duty games without even touching the single-player but once youve had enough of campers and bugs and poorly designed maps, youll probably want something else to fall onto to assure yourself that spending 40 was a good idea.

Hope not. but i still dont think it will be as bad of a let down as black ops was. some poeple like BO, but i personally hate it!

ok youre a battlefield fanboy we get it. I like Modern Warfare so i will buy it. when november rolls around i dont want to see you in the mw3 forum but i know i will anyway. i dont know why battlefield fans spend every waking moment trashing cod.

how is it not changed ????????

way more people like cod because thats the only thing they've seen. Battlefield has always made a far superior game, but noone every notices.IF DICE markets Battlefield well this time, people will notice that its far better than the poorly built CoD series..

Bf3 looks horrible :facepalm:

GOOO BF3! I have always been a cod fan but I have totally changed my mind getting bf3 for sure instead
