Most of the guns are imported directly from previous CoD titles (throwing knife again, really?). Most people don't realize they're being ripped off. They see a new shinny product. "OMG THIS LOOKS SO COOL", there's a lot of hyped because the series is already popular so people buy it. I don't see why this whole game, which took what, 1-1.5 years to make is a game of it's own when it could most likely just be another DLC for the "meager" price of 20euros. It took less time than that to make. They release a new one every year. It's the Sports Game catch 101. "Updated Roster with very few actual updates to the game". No noticable engine upgrades, no new stuff (don't come bitching with "There are new perks/weapons/maps derp!" because it's not new, it's old, really old), and in my opinion, just another bad game in the CoD series. Activision knows that people like the game. They know people will buy it. Give me one good reason not to milk the series and actually try to innovate further. They take baby steps to milk it as much as they can. I wish people would realize that. It's a shame they manage to repackage an expansion pack as a full retail price. Some people buy it just for the campaign, which I guess might support the full retail price for those people, but for the majority, they just buy it for online, which is a real scam. | ||

I don't own the game, but based on what I've played at my friend's house (corner trapping in Search and Destroy comes to mind) that's all I can hear on the mic. Not blaming the game, but based on personal experience. I don't understand what's all this MW3 excitement, I'm just gonna bash Starcraft 2 because it's just more awesome then Call of Duty will ever be  | ||

Also, the guns aren't freaking lasers either this is actually the main reason why i play objective games or at least kill confirmed rather than standard team deathmatch. i've literally played games where a player has gone 50-5 and had his team's score doubled because he was just whoring kills instead of playing the objective | ||

Its basically the most skill based game on the market at the moment, much higher skill than 1.6 or sc2 for example. 1.6 and sc2 in general are played by really bad people such as console peasants or retro-evolving chest beaters. The MW franchise is so good because they make huge improvements in each game they release and help the community by adding new maps for free every other weekend. It takes skill to play MW3 and it really does not favour the casual noobs who play skilless games like sc2 or 1.6. Can't...tell...if...trolling... I've played Call of Duty on consoles and I can easily get at least 1KDR (and I don't own the game, I play at friend's house) because when you see someone, you press L1, auto-aim, R2/R1 (forgot) and you kill him. Maybe reflexes, but it doesn't take nearly as much skill as the games you just listed. | ||

 Also I'm very proud of TL. I thought this would be a CoD bash topic, but the haters have left their bias at the door, it seems.  | ||

Lol he's trolling, MW3= Expansion of MW2 and the map packs are never free which theydo come out like once a month. Cmon SC2/CS<MW3 skill level hahahahaha | ||
