EPTThe mw series is a blast if you enjoy that kind of mindless generic-plot madness with some cool settings and a plethora of bad guys. The single player might not justify the price by itself, but the multiplayer adds enough replayability to the package that it'd be worth around $30 in my mind. The spec ops missions are freaking awesome, can play those for a very long time, fun fun challenge modes with endless hordes of enemy troops that carry around bombs strapped to their chests, like zombie mode except without the zombies and boards.
MW3, why do people buy it ? - Page 2

Everyone complains about MW3 just being a copy of MW2, but since I've never really played CoD I don't care about that. I bought it on release day here in Japan, and so far I've actually been really happy with it. The campaign was alright, some exciting / fun moments, and despite how much I suck I've really been enjoying the multiplayer. I was getting my ass kicked hard for quite a while; half way through my first prestige now and starting to get a bit better, got comfortable with my loadouts, starting to dig my way out of my negative k/d balance. Instead of just running around aimlessly and not caring if I die or not, I've been trying to actually get better and die less, and I'm still enjoying it a lot. Would I buy a MW4 next winter? I don't know, it depends what they change and add. Normally I probably wouldn't, but it would depend on what else is out, what I feel like playing, and whether I'm employed and have the money to burn. I realize that Activision is totally milking the series for money. They don't need to release a marginally better version each year, but they do because it makes a shit load of money. Eh, that's just how the world works. If I want the product, I'll buy it, if I don't, I won't. Despite all the (imo ridiculously out of proportion) MW3 hate going around the internet, I've actually been really happy with my purchase so far. | ||

They wouldn't do that  Afaik, the creators of MW got fired from IW after they were done with MW2 and they took most of their talent with them to form a new studion (Respawn Entertainment). IW is not going to make anything new ever. | ||

Don't buy into the bandwagon of hate on it. Its a very very well made game and deserves all the money that it makes. granted trayarch makes better multiplayer games but at the very least its the same concepts that have been used in all fps games and it really doesn't make why people want to bash a successful and well made game. | ||

Then BAM no time later! CoD:BO! Hmm looks decent, I wouldn't mind attempting it but I'm not buying it. So one of my brothers went and bought it sometime later I tried it. I just said "Nope." after a few rounds and quit. I played with my Cousins fiance and my Uncle but never actually played it if you know what I mean? So I hear MW3's release and I just said "Fuck CoD they had something good I'm not supporting their shit make a game every few months even if it sucks motto." So I haven't played it at all, I would if someone had it and was like "Give this a shot!" but Co-Workers and my brother have all been telling me how amazing it is, How much better it is than MW2 but personally I don't really care as MW2 and BO ruined the CoD series for me personally. CoD4 was great I still play it, MW2 I haven't played in forever, BO a few months ago with my Uncle but that's about it, he switched to BF:2 anyways said BO was shit. Also one thing that really bugged me was they never Balanced or patched their games. I mean the Models were so OP for the longest time, Glitch spots and everything still in all the games today. | ||

IW is not going to make anything new ever.Wow, so he actually got an error message that said "MW2" in it. What's really funny is that if these people are using mods on day 1 it means that it is the same game. It takes time for people to produce mods to a specific game, it being day 1 and them using mods means their mods from MW2 still work in MW3. Which essentially means, it is the same game with new maps. It is shameful to charge 60$ for some new maps. I just wonder how long it will take for these kinds of practices to bite the industry in the ass. | ||

Also, even if you wanted to still play MW2 instead of getting the new MW3, theres basically nobody on anymore, at least on PC. | ||

I loved CoD1 and 2 but after that it got worse and worse. When I want to play a shooter now I take Red Orchestra 2. The game is just so much better. | ||

Why should random gamer #10 learn how to fly a jet or work with a team in a game like BF3 when they can herp derp around with their super fast reloading guns firing at 6 bazillion shots per second and get nukes man NUKES I think that this is generally it. If your friends are online, fantastic, you can jump in and play with them immediately. Even if they're not, you can sprint around getting a thousand knife fights until, like you said, you call down a nuke. What. People enjoy playing games where they're the hero, and MW3 (and the entire COD series) is really, REALLY good at making you feel that way. "You've killed everyone!" | ||

1) I wanted to see what happened to Soap 2) Spec Ops is fun 3) Multiplayer is actually fun. I don't know why people don't like it. Sure it can be frustrating, but playing with your friends is really fun. It is MW2 over again, but they took out a lot of the gay stuff - noob tubes are a 2 shot kill, commando is gone, last stand is now a 5 death streak, ect. It is a much better game than MW2 and I have had fun playing it. I also don't get why people hate Black Ops. It was probably the best one made since CoD4, and I had a blast playing it. | ||
