Modern Warfare 3 - The New "Shock & Awe"?

[Asehujiko]

Given the direction in which the series has been going the singleplayer will be about an hour long.

 

[The DSM]

Being killed in every single mission probably.

"I heard they kill you when you pre-order the game"

Points for anyone who knows the reference.

 

[IamQ]

Probably of the "ohh controversial" stuff. Concidering this is Infinity Ward also, they'll probably have more than one of these things now.

Also you'll instantly die after the turtorial when you get betrayed by some dude. It can't be a Cod game without you dying at least once (in this case it'll probably be like 10 times...).

Soap an Price must murder and eat a farmer and his family to avoid starving.

Then, they'll ally themselves with Makarov for protection, and end up killing Ramirez's squad.

As Ramirez, you go into last stand and blow them up with a grenade.

Hey, its more plausible than MW2's story.

Actually, I think that would be pretty cool.

A bit like the beginning of Fahrenheit, where you play as Soap or whoever, and you are hunting down Ramirez and co., where as when you are them, you are trying to get away or something? Logistically, I see the problems, but that might be a cool concept.

Rooster Teeth I belive.

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

in MW3, everything is solved politically, there is no shooting.

No, Yu-Gi-Oh battle.

 

[wooty]

It turns out that the entire war was manipulated by a guy called John Henry Eden

 

[Iampringles]

Someone's been watching too much Zero Punctuation...
Of course, I kid.

To do that, Sir, is impossible!

 

[scrambledeggs]

I think they will put you in the shoes of a first time home buyer.

hahahahah, this one made me laugh to most.
thankyou kind sir, i needed a lol.

*Modern Warfare gave us - The aftermath of a nuclear explosion leaving you with your last minutes of life. Being executed on live television. A last stand effort as the finale.

*Modern Warfare 2 gave us - Mowing down innocent civilians at an airport. Betrayal(s) from your own superior. An EMP missile causing the death of an astronaut. A last stand knife scenario.

My question is - What will be the new Shock & Awe for MW3? My guess is being brutally tortured. Assassinating a leader from an allied faction. Being in a stand alone situation with you protecting the lives of innocent civilians as a swarm of enemies come to annihilate you all.

I have a feeling the torture one is most likely to happen in the next game, but who knows.

Let me know what you guys think.

On a more serious note, I think the last scenario you shared would be pretty damn cool. Like maybe the USA or Britain or genericwesterncountry is attacked and you have to help civilians etc, instead of setting off in Virginia with the city already evacuated, or dead.

 

[Downfall89]

slaughtering an elementary school flled with kittins, puppies and koala bears. and then rapeing(sp?) the dead bodies.

And of course your Avatar is a kitten.

O.T. Probably re-enacting more Michel Bay movies. I mean come on, the Gulag, more like The Rock.

Totally agree with you, especially with the Spec Op mission set in the Gulag shower room. I just looked at my brother and was like "This is exactly like the scene in The Rock, except the people above us don't kill us all."

Modern Warfare 3 will probably make us do something like betray the U.S Army, assassinate the President, gain access to nuclear launch codes, mow down civilians in three consecutive airport terminals whilst trying to make it to your escape plane on the tarmac then blow up like five different countries with these nuclear bombs. And for each country that gets bombed, you get to watch it in first person mode through the eyes of a single mother trying to raise three kids by herself.

I still don't believe that this would be enough controversy for Infinity Ward though.

True. The more publicity, whether it be positive or negative (which it is all negative) is good publicity.

 

[Kukakkau]

It's probably going to be the case that you start as Ramirez in the counter-attack on the Russians (the Rangers ask when they will hit Russian soil after you take back the White House) and on a mission you encounter soap + price after your squad does something shocking. You join them and try to bring down some conspiracy which involves more that 4 character deaths and more nukes. And probably mowing down the president or something.

 

[chumpzilla_69]

12 assassinations, 11 generals slaughtered, 10 playable charachters , 9 different endings, 8 conspiracies , 7 more online modes, 6 story deaths

5 GOLD RINGS

4 close escapes, 3 more nukes , 2 more terminals and Ramirez in a pear tree

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Obama will get the sucker (Shepherd) and kick his ass with a fist bump. You know it's going to happen.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

in MW3, everything is solved politically, there is no shooting.

Or it'll just be warhammer 40k.

I like your attitude! but that's not exactly "Modern" warfare. More like "40,000 damn years in the future" warfare.

When the game is made it will be in the future, so you never know.

 

[WrongSprite]

You drop nukes on everyone.

Oh and cheers for the fuckload of spoilers in the O.P.

I can see Dick Cheney being a Lictor, or a genestealer....Did I just make a Dick Cheney joke? *Sprays self with water bottle. Bad fluffypuff!

OT:Curb stomping a pregnant woman, and then frying the fetus?

I don't evenn wanna see what a Dick Cheney genestealer hybrid would look like...Just...No. -Guards self with Emperor idol-

Toture, to you, or by you would be awesome...Kinda. 8D I just hope Shepeard isn't alive, that would make me cry cos my worst fears for this action plot turning into a Micheal Bay sequel.
