Modern Warfare 3 To Have Limited Party Chat, Better Spawnpoints

4.7
Infinity Ward removed Party Chat from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to prevent players from cheating on servers or rig matches, but the resulting complaints have convinced them to bring Party Chat back in limited form for Modern Warfare 3, Creative Strategist Robert Bowling explains:
A major focus of Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer is allowing you to have a lot more control over how you play, looking at those restrictions, and doing away with stuff like Party Chat blocking that's super hardcore. It's about giving options. We will have places where competitive guys go where you might have restrictive voice chat. And then you have an option to maybe play that same mode without the same restrictions if that's the type of player you are.

The only place where Party Chat should be blocked is Search & Destroy and won't be blocked for modes like Domination.

Likewise, he details, in a statement with Kotaku, how Modern Warfare 3 will take a step back from air strikes and killstreaks and return to the original Call of Duty 4:

I feel like it's something we nailed with Call of Duty 4. We moved away from it a little bit with MW2, relying heavily on air support, killstreaks, perks, and stuff like that. Modern Warfare 3, very much [is] building up from that Call of Duty 4 mentality of gun-on-gun, fast-paced infantry gameplay...

The hotspots are a key thing [in] Modern Warfare 3. We went into each map wanting you to be able to turn a corner and know very easily that these are three—no more than five—places I need to check.

For the hardcore guys who have been with us since the beginning, that speaks volumes: the map design, the return to focus on gun-on-gun, all that stuff. I like to always make sure the hardcore players know we're building it up for them.

Tonz0Funz It's good to know they are finally moving back towards Call of Duty 4, a game that was almost perfected. Sometimes taking a few steps back is the only way to move forward.



took the thought outta my head

RecklessMirror ii guess this is better...but ii like mods/hacks but in multi-player it just ruins the game cause everyone has god mode and noclip... ii just want lvl hack, all guns, all camos(if), all emblems(if), and stuff like that...


Okay just tell Robert Bowling you only want those hacks and I'm sure he'd be more than happy to oblige.


LOL

Thank god for Infinity Ward knowing what we actually want.

Next thing we need to know is if there going to Go Treyarch on us and ban us if we are Prestiging to "Fast"

SilentSlayer Thank You Infinity Ward!
At least I don't have to make an anti-air class like I did in MW2. I hope they do what they say and keep it a 3-5-7 killstreak like they did in MW.
Hopefully the spawns are good so that you cant throw a throwing knife or a tomahawk across the map and get a sorrible opening game kill, or at lest give them less power so they can't do that because that is so unrealistic. I mean come on!

Well correct me if I'm wrong but it's a game so not everything is realistic. If they wanted the game to be realistic they would make it a 2-3 shot kill for every gun.
