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.

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!

Sounds like they are really listening to the community this time around.

Looks like this game might actually be worth getting. Cod4 killstreaks and gun-on-gun action is the real attraction for me there.

Also, people are saying that there is a mute button for a reason but i would love it if there was a button to mute everyone who isnt on your friends list because most games i end up muting everyone i don't know anyway. I know you can put family settings on for this but i shouldn't have to.

The only bit of this information that i dont like the sound of is " The hotspots are a key thing [in] Modern Warfare 3". It sounds like they are aiming to make the game very camper friendly.

Also i'd still like to see more game modes, including different ffa gametypes, but i cant see them making too much of a change there.

I'd also think it would be great if they worsened ghost or made it less attractive to use, eg put it in a category with ninja, because it is way overused in black ops.

Where about's in the above text does it say anything to do with better spawnpoints? Because to be honest this is old news and a waste of time considering the title is misleading in respects to the fact that it's a complete lie.

'the map design' does NOT count as news on better spawn points.

I expect better.

if mw3 has good maps, better spawns so spawn trap would be pretty much impossible, fixed noobtubes , no faster ADS for snipers with SoH , no second chance as a perk, killstreak like sr-71 ( so ghost byatches can suck it ) and a team that is ready to fix the game any minute when there is a problem ... i think i will love it and will enjoy playing it!
Also I hate people that complain from 12 year olds that speak s*it online, THERE IS A MUTE FUNCTION FOR A REASON
