Modern Warfare 3 Arrives November for Its Annual Tour of Duty

[Hachura]

Sorry, what was that? Too busy pre-ordering BF3.

Probs get this just to see how the story pans out, but definitely not sticking around for the multiplayer.

Can someone clarify this for me: Activision is hanging on by exactly two threads right now, namely: MW3 and WoW, right? If MW3 tanks, Blizzard will officially be the only thing keeping Activision standing, since the latter shut down Guitar Hero and haven't released any other successful game since Blops? Or is there something I'm unaware of?

Yes, although, hanging by a thread is perhaps not the most apt metaphor. How about suspended above two solid gold pillars? That would give more of an indication of how well they're doing.


And, I'm not getting it. I'm not getting it. I'm not not not getting it. I will not subject myself to that disappointment again.

Let's make a compromise: By the end of the year, it's either going to be two pillars of gold......or ONE pillar of gold and another pillar of PUDDING, if MW3 tanks(forgive the pun), which I'm adamant is not, in ANY way whatsoever, even "improbable" at this point. Guess we'll see. Also, if shit hits the fan, can Blizzard cut their losses and run for the hills? Just blissful thinking here ^_^

And you could do what I plan to do. If you too, are mildly interested in seeing how the story resolves itself (or maybe they're not done milking it dry yet?), but care not for the MP.........just watch a Single player Walkthrough/Let's play after launch. CoD SP is basically a action film minus the voiced protagonist, with absolutely 0 "choices" or divergences in the story, so I don't see how a good LP won't show us all the sights and all the action for absolutely free?

The whole world war 3 thing has kinda sparked my interest, but i have the awful feeling it'll be another 4-5 hour Michael Bay-esque assault of the senses, with a samey multiplayer full of quick scopers and noob tubers

Oh dear, now I'm hungry for ... a pillar of pudding I suppose.

Also, there's no way I'm shelling out £50 for a 6 hour campaign. If the multiplayer is as bad as it was in MW2 and Blops then I am simply not going to buy it.

I really need to hold to my pledge not to buy another CoD game. Every year they come out, every year I tell myself I'm not going to get it. And every year I get it.

Hopefully BF3 or Skyrim will come out first and distract me.

Well all i can say is it will be the same game with most of the same guns and some new maps, OR WAIT they might reboot about 5 maps so they don't have to do work but at this point this is what i think of cod

Everyone know that it wont tank, just because it's a COD. The same reason sports games don't tank, people buy them because of the brand, no for content, gameplay or anything else. Hopefully BF3 really gives them fight in the market so they start innovating.
