Yeah I'm 90%+ I beat it in roughly 3 hours. Definitely under 4 hours. That's so unacceptable it is not even funny.

Why do they even bother releasing a single player campaign if they are just going to less than half ass it?

Oh well....Skyrim will surely blow this out of the water :banger

*goes and plays Skyrim*

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

the trend for most FPS now a days is more for multiplayer than single. i think they just throw in a campaign just for $hits and giggle.

i almost never play single player so i could care less.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

better graphics IMHO...Weapons sound sick...and every game feels like Hardcore because you get two or three good shots in and they are down! I've gotten used to it Tyr. I think you'll enjoy it after the initial learning curve of feel and speed.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

i got te hang of now and really like it.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Yup.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Give it a shot....I'm hearing the ending and play is pretty amazing.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Playing mostly Kill confirmed. Loving it! My son it loving it also. He went 34 - 10 last night and now that's all he can talk about. LOL

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I beat the single player game. The ending is awesome! :tu :ss

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I have mixed feelings about this game. I love the faster paced action than Black Ops. I agree that it feels more like hardcore which I like. It's easier to get kills.

What I like:
1. Strike packages are ok. I like that you earn your killstreaks even if you die and since the killstreak kills don't count towards higher killstreaks like in MW2, people won't be able to camp nukes.

What I don't like:
1. Lvl 80 prestiges? Are you F'n kidding me?
2. Way too many perks and weapon proficiencies. The marksman perk adds a big name that covers their body.
3. One of my biggest gripes against MW2 was how difficult it was to unlock the various guns attachments and this one was even worse. Now you have to level up each weapon. I prefered the black ops currency format better so you could buy whatever attachment you wanted. I saw a survey and apparently weapon proficiency was one of the most liked new features. IMO, I think it's the worst.
4. No serious improvement in graphics
5. The killstreaks are largely MW2. I would have hoped they would merged the ones from MW2 and Black Ops (attack dogs, RC-XD, etc).
6. Really bad lag on PS3
7. Only 2-person online play in PS3
8. I hoped they would add mouse & keyboard support by this time, but I don't think they did
9. The maps are limited so you can't jump on cars or certain spots. I suppose they did this to prevent people from finding camping spots in strange spots. I just found it odd. Some maps I thought to myself I could jump over that box or car and it wouldn't jump onto those items.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Anyone playing right now? I'll be on till bout 3ish today. Home sick..

Ixx iClutch xxI on xbox, add me and lets play!!

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I am an old school PC geek and PC gamer. My sister's Xbox 360 got the infamous RRoD (Red Ring of Death). She sent it in once to MS. The second time she got it, it was out of warranty. Her husband tried to fix it but it didn't last long. Anyway, she told me that if I could fix it I could have it. Apparently she bought a new one for her kids for Christmas. Well, I'll save you the details, but I have it working consistently thanks to some heatsink and fan mods.

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. She's keeping the accessories for her new Xbox. I'm going to get one wireless controller and the hard drive since it's not compatible with the new Slim model. I've researched the XIM3. It seems expensive at $150, but in the long run it's a LOT cheaper than building a gaming PC. Plus, most of my friends are on Xbox 360 and I'm itching to own them with a mouse and KB. I regularly get wrecked when I try to compete using the regular controller. The lack of accuracy is overwhelming to me. As I learn maps I have been able to at least keep even with them, but as a PC gamer I feel like I'm walking in wet concrete and overcorrecting every adjustement to my aim like a drunk driver doing 160 mph. XIM3 seems like the perfect solution. I've read some of the cheaper alternatives aren't nearly as successful in providing a PC game feel. If anyone has used one or knows someone who does I'd love to hear some feedback. The cost is even more than anticipated once you read the fine print stating you have to provide your own wired (Microsoft brand) controller to plug the XIM3 into.

I think I'm going to take the plunge. So, if anyone has a wired Microsoft brand Xbox 360 controller they are willing to part with PM me. In the meantime I'm going to see about getting the XIM3 and MW3. Although I might have to put them on my Christmas wishlist and wait.

P.S. sorry for the wandering thoughts here... :D

I love the strike packages....assault if you're in the zone...Support if you are an assist king like me...Specialist if you wanna show off

What I don't like:
1. Lvl 80 prestiges? Are you F'n kidding me? Same as MW2 so no biggie

2. Way too many perks and weapon proficiencies. The marksman perk adds a big name that covers their body. My cousin loved this since he's horrible at the game, and I think it caters to those players

3. One of my biggest gripes against MW2 was how difficult it was to unlock the various guns attachments and this one was even worse. Now you have to level up each weapon. I prefered the black ops currency format better so you could buy whatever attachment you wanted. I saw a survey and apparently weapon proficiency was one of the most liked new features. IMO, I think it's the worst. I think time and kills aren't a bad thing here for unlocking. I actually like trying to use all the attachments since I don't care about my K/D ratio

4. No serious improvement in graphics Kinda of agree but I think the opponents look better

5. The killstreaks are largely MW2. I would have hoped they would merged the ones from MW2 and Black Ops (attack dogs, RC-XD, etc). You don't like Juggernaut or Escorted Air Drop?

6. Really bad lag on PS3 Turn off Theatre Mode...it helps a bit

7. Only 2-person online play in PS3 1 man wolf pack

8. I hoped they would add mouse & keyboard support by this time, but I don't think they did That's a PC thing isn't it?

9. The maps are limited so you can't jump on cars or certain spots. I suppose they did this to prevent people from finding camping spots in strange spots. I just found it odd. Some maps I thought to myself I could jump over that box or car and it wouldn't jump onto those items.[/quote]
I hate and like this point.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

So far it's a good B+ game for me. The entire COD series is over re-used. But they sold 6.5 million copies on first day, so I don't think Activision is trying to change the formula when they've banked so far.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Definitely faster paced. Less places to camp. It's slowly growing on me.

I love having the ACR and G36 back again! :tu

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

my top 3

MK14
ACR
G36

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I told myself I'd buy the game after EPIC (for ps3 of course), but now that it's 2 days after I'm still not in the mood. I figure that other players need to learn how to play and get better before I come in tearing heads off =)

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

The connection for me is not great. Getting a lot of lag on some games.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Connection works fine for me after turning off theater mode. Thank you for that tip :tu

Really loving this game for the multi-player action. The action is fast paced and well-balanced IMO. There's plenty of rushing still going on this early from the release but it seems that the snipers are starting to find their groove. I pretty much only play Hardcore TeamDeathmatch so I'm speaking only about that particular mode. But damn I'm loving it.

I just got the Kleptomaniac title yesterday. The one with the 2 S&M looking chicks :D Had to Kill 3 different people with 3 different weapons in one life. That was fun!

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I also hate the quick scoping. Hairs not even close to my body when I view after I die and blammo...fix that chit! I like this game. I've only played about 30 minutes of the campaign and the rest on multi-player. I actually play with Drez most of the time.

My favorite gun = ACR 6.8 love it :tu that and the UMP with range and rapid fire!

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

hm should i keep BF3 or trade it toward MW3?

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Nice! I haven't used or unlocked the MK14 yet, but I've been looking on the ground. Can't wait. :tu

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Oh yeah..finally got my SCAR gold plated!

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I just got this in yesterday for PS3...also picked up Battlefield 3 limited edition. Those are the first games I've bought in 2 years. Guess it's time to give this a try now.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Let me know if you'd like to trade BF3 for sticks instead of trading it in. :tu

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

The MK14 is great if you can pull the trigger fast enough multiple times and still stay on target.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

I am really loving Hardcore Kill Confirmed :gn :tu

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

kill confirmed is pretty cool. played it for a while the other day.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

My Xbox tag is suicidalpanda74 if anybody wants to add me!

Wow, that is crazy! :tf

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

finally ordered a copy since it got a bit cheaper...I'll be ucubed on the ps3 =D

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

My son doesn't play much :rolleyes:

http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...59442511_n.jpg

is 4th prestige good??

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Just ordered MW3 on cyber monday. Got it for $52 on Amazon. Obviously it hasn't arrived yet. I'm still on my free month trial of Xbox Live. Will have to pay once that is up. Plus my XIM3 is supposed to arrive today. I'm geeked. Can't wait.

My Xbox Live ID is a merging of sorts.
M3a5g7 (357 Mag) since obviously my name is rather common and it forces you to start with a letter.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Haven't played in 3 days. :gary

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

This game is driving me insane. I don't understand how I had K/D ratios near 1.8-2.0 in the previous games and not I can barely stay around 1.5 :bh

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

learning curve...game play, movement, weapon recoils, everything is different...taking me a while to get to 3

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Unfortunately, the guns are nearly identical to MW2, at least the ones I use (ACR, RASS). It just seems that I can't hit anyone, but I can get shot by the first bullet out of another person's gun. :tf

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Man i was just going to ask this. All the other CoD i would avg 1.5ish K/D and I'm .6 right now. I have thought about selling it as it pisses me off too much :r It seems I have a lot of lag issues which i have never had before. Also seems to lots of people camping or sitting so i go running by and get killed.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

MW2 and MW3 are camper friendly, that's one thing I liked about BO maps that somewhat discouraged camping.

One other thing I like is how they made the claymores one-button to deploy. On the console versions, I always thought it was dumb to push one button to use a claymore, then the fire button to set it down. If I'm pushing a dang button to use a claymore, that's where I want it. The trophy system isn't this way though. It's not something major and probably only PC gamers would notice when converting to console, but it drives me crazy.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

One thing I've noticed about CoD online play in general is camping seems to be extremely common. Noob-tubers get razzed for using a weapon requiring less skill, but sometimes you have to do that just to flush out the 15 campers.

If you're playing a team game where some people defend a base or a flag, then camping is somewhat implied given you're defending territory. However, I think camping in deathmatch is pretty lame.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Camping and Tubers are both plagues in TDM!

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

The camping problem doesn't seem to be as prevalent in Hardcore TDM. But I think this is mostly due to the fact that most who play HC TDM are going for a high kill count and an impressive K/D ratio. You can't really achieve that camping.

HC TDM FTW!!!!

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

i love using the noob-tube when I have to max out my weapon challenges...people get soooooo mad! It's a game people...

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Never used the grenade launcher in MW3 yet, nor do I count on using it. I use heartbeat sensor for people who do not use assassin, people call me "noob" for using it, but it's their fault for not countering. Countering and balance is a huge factor in MW3 as said by the developers.

Now to combat the campers, I usually use a class with flash and impact to shoot through the walls.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

someone's always going to complain...just gotta bob and weave..bob and weave..

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

:tu

This F*cking guy :banger

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

Got my first taste last night with my XIM3 rig. Very cool game. I got promoted a few times but my K/D ratio is garbage. I need to learn the maps before I can get it to a respectable level.

Re: Modern Warfare 3
 

K/D ratio means nothing to me...I like trying to use all the attachments and that is not beneficial to having a high K/D ratio.
