Kotaku lies then, fuck Kotaku.

Me and the lads were discussing this the other day, the verdict was 'it's shit but it's just a little bit less shitter then anything else out there'. Good conclusion I thought seeing as these are diehard CoD fans.

Having played a bit of this.. I can agree.. it's shit but it's the best form of shit...

How played you may ask? Back of the lorry finest hah, a shit shop in Sony was selling unopened copies at £55 a punt and a mate bought one. Heads up that the graphics do look pretty immense but the Single Player can be done by a toddler.. you get 5G for loading the fucking thing up.

 

[BloodOmen]

Well, battlefield 3 isnt shit its just buggy as fuck, the gameplay itself in BF3 all bugs aside is pristine/flawless.

 

[Aada]

Battlefield is better this year, graphics on COD have barely changed in 5 damn years.

 

[Aada]

Also Skyrim is out fuck COD.

I wish they would go back to the ww2 settings i much prefered that .. new weapons bore me personally .. i like the garrands and mp44 and stuff with iron sights

Agree with that. Still so much they could do. They could do a German side, starting in Belgium then the air drop into Greece and Cyprus and the Afika Korps, before finishing up in the Italian campaign. If they can kill a guy in MW why can't they have your guy go down fighting or surrender to the Allies. Maybe do a Russian fighting the Germans or Finish in Lennigrad then onto fighting the Japanese in Manchuria.

Yeh as truly haven't had enough WW2 games yet....

Anyone remember Vietcong?

 

[throdgrain]

Yeah I liked that game

 

[Moriath]

vietcong was hard if i remember right heeh no mistakes allowed... would like to see singapore and burma and that area of ww2 as well .. i just prefer the weapons tbh its more skill with a single bolt action gun than all the auto weapons they have these days to spray and pray a lot

 

[Billargh]

Wow, what a pile of garbage this game is.

 

[Aada]

Lol

 

[Aada]

I like how they put in the weapon upgrades allowing lesser recoil, as if COD weapons had fucking recoil anyway.

 

[BloodOmen]

Bought it sadly, someone shoot me in the face ;< I just couldnt resist given how BF3 failed me.

 

[Deebs]

So is it shit?

 

[BloodOmen]

its not that bad tbh, feels alot like MW2 and much better than Black Ops.

The problem is all WW2 games concentrate on the same few battles and it gets boring, game developers seem to forget it was a World War with many different nations fighting. American Normandy landings and Stalingrad have been done to death in games.

 

[BloodOmen]

actually quite enjoying MW3, you die very easily in it unlike black ops where you could stand shooting someone for half a year and they'd just turn around and shoot you in the face you die almost instantly in this, even when its not on hardcore.

 

[Everz]

Yeah I liked that game

Found the CD on the weekend, such a quality game and was fun online. Wish the Vietnam setting could be used more.. found Soldier of Fortune also.. now that was a game!

It's on my PC waiting to be played tonight, then the big BF3 vs MW3 test can commence

 

[BloodOmen]

i can't fairly compare the 2 due to my BF3 not working properly, first impressions of them both tho says they're both good/benchmark setters.

 

[Billargh]

I might have exaggerated last night, it's just the same old. BloodOmen is right though, you seem to die very quick in this, and thank god they got rid of stupid perks such as Stopping Power. So far though I'm not sure it feels like an IW incarnation of the franchise, it feels very Black Ops'ey.

 

[Everz]

Had another wee go.. man im shit hot.. I kid I cant for the shit of me work out xbox controllers. Never the less, it looks like it'd bore the crap outta me after some time, but to not be 'anti-social' i'll get my own copy to live it up with me mates. hah.

 

[Aada]

I liked black ops not sure what all the fuss is about

 

[BloodOmen]

The only thing i'm not keen on is how servers are selected, doesnt happen often but now and then I get dumped in a server with an utter wank ping which isnt very fun at all ;<

 

[Madmaxx]

I like it so far..hardly and tubers or pro snipers, less OP kill streaks going up since everyone is about even on k/d ratio except one who usually wins it with 22-8 or so. Think my best streak is 7 and best score is 26-7 ? or near it but I'm having fun..
also nice to have lobby's where ppl are same rank e.g.. most are 30 and below.
Im at 2h 30 mins gametime and rank 25, and I didnt have double exp or anything

Fao BO: check when joining servers.. it says checking for <50 ping...then <75ping ...then 100 ping etc... I usually leave search and go back if nothing at 75..but plenty of games anyway.

 

[BloodOmen]

i'm up at 913 world rank atm score wise, been playing it since 7am lol.

735 Kills
466 Deaths
1.58 K/D Ratio

You die so fast in this its unbelievable some of the things that gets you.

 

[Madmaxx]

yeah one bad thing about starting is... when you try and use weaps for exp challnges like the first AR is low dmg...so everyone using the UMP beginner class always out gunned me.

 

[BloodOmen]

i'm still using the M4A1 (Starter wep) its lvl 31 now beast of a gun, damage isnt really a problem its insanely accurate/fast fire rate.

 

[throdgrain]

I cant see dedicated servers, only that MW2 shit. If I'd known that, I wouldnt have bought it.

Disappointed.

 

[Deebs]

I have bought it, just finished installing it, will hopefully get to play at the weekend.
