Hello Undertoads, before you rage about this being a Call Of Duty review, I know it's hard
to spend your money on this - trust me - especially with games like Skyward Sword, Skyrim, and
Assassin's Creed are all coming around also, but if you are a person who does not like
the Call Of Duty series or anything that you see before the actual review here, just give
it a freakin' chance.
This will be a two part review because in all honesty the game has only been out for
3 days and I've only had a chance to flex a few days of multiplayer out and I still
have not found the spare time to get into the campaign.
I also pre-ordered and purchased the new feature called Call of Duty Elite.
Now Call of Duty Elite is a special application you can use along with Modern Warfare 3 to
check out exclusive deals including dlc for the year, as well as competitions to win actual
prizes.
So far I haven't gotten to really mess with this application because I kept getting errors
out the wazoo the first 2 days of trying to use it.
So I'm hoping that they fix these problems in the future or else I will be regretting
this purchase for this add on.
As far as the multiplayer works, things have gotten a lot better, usually multiplayer is
also a very anticipated feature to these games and you'll see till the next call of duty
releases that many of your Xbox live friends be probably still be in a game of MW3.
Many people have been claiming this game is basically Modern Warfare 2 with new maps and
perks.
I agree and disagree.
Obviously it is NOT the same game, but yeah, the play mechanics are basically the same
as MW2 and they also brought back Spec Ops, but that’s not a bad thing.
However, the only thing that automatically clicked in the multiplayer to MW2 was the
user interface as far as that goes.
The Modern Warfare's have always had a knack for having a more cartoon style ui as far
as their map, and ammo clips look and the icons that go across them, just comapre them
to the Treyarch’s Call Of Duties, they’re definitely more cartoony.
As far as the play of this game went through, going into the first night of multiplayer
on this I was actually expecting to live a lot longer but that's the case for nobody
really because nobody knows these maps yet so they’re just going camping the most corners
that they find.
But since Tuesday, the game has gotten a lot better because people are actually running
around on the maps now because lets face it, it doesn't take that long to get the hang
of these maps.
There are many that I like and many that I dislike.
I can’t say I have a favorite yet... but maybe for part 2 I will.
Shooting and everything is yet again the same but the systems they use in multiplayer have
changed, and I actually enjoy it.
Now I'm somebody who's played a bit of Bad Company 2, and Battlefield 3 and this game
may not be anywhere near as technical as those games are, but I give the game credit because
you know that you can play a support class as well as assault class and specialist now.
The assault class would go along the lines of what any Call Of Duty game has had as far
as kill streak rewards, but with these two other classes you have an actual choice of
how to strategize.
I'm not saying that in any way that this game plays better than tactical games out there
where working together is the key, but it's nice that they're catching on that a lot of
the audience they don't have enjoys that kind of combat.
So again this is a two part review, I know one is enough for all the cod haters out there,
but believe it or not there is a pretty big audience out there who still plays this franchise
and enjoys it.
Now stick tight and don't let the bouncing betties bite...
I mean explode.
