Well I just played a few hours of MW3 and this is inspired by the strong influance of rage that has grasped this game for me.
If you don't want to hear anything negative about MW3... I don't even know why your reading this then.
FOV: You can't change the FOV... It's locked on 65... Are you kidding me, why not add this basic piece of functionality? Oh yeah that's why because the design platform are consoles and due to the horrific optimization they just use a goddamn narrow FOV because they don't need to render the shit outside it. Then just decided not to change anything in the gruesome port that is the PC version.
Why does this bother me, because I like to have peripheral vision larger then a 60 degree angle thank you very much.
Talking about rendering the 'shit' outside it, You'll basically find 2 color variants in the game which is roundabout a few fucking million kinds of grey and brown. So for the aesthetics, now for the graphics. Outdated as shit, we knew that much saw it coming. Animations look completely disconnected from the environment, characters float over the ground and have probably not more then 10 different animations.
Killstreaks are as feared back to fuck you over, Richer get richer, poorer get poorer. Camping spots are carefully handpicked to give the person behind the bar/in the corner/in the bushes just that edge they always wanted.
Guns, I really haven't came to that because dedicated servers are not ranked. You have to use the fucking lagspiking/broken fucking peer2peer method that includes every horror you don't want playing a FPS. To top that the NetCode is ridiculously badly written, really such a what the fuck we're they thinking moment.
Balancing is were it really get's fun. Saw that trailer with the noob? They aren't lying anyone can play this game, it's easy they're holding your hand every step of the way. Aim assist has been increased to the point where you are basically using an aimbot, seriously on mother-fucking PC. What balance in this game comes to is that you all come to gather in a giant pit of disorder and rage and whoever plays the dirtiest wins.
The sound is just bad, rarely has a triple AAA title surprised me in the sound department. ( Battlefield 3 sounded reasonable ), but this sounds like random sound files without any sense of direction being thrown at you because of why? Fuck if I know, apparently Infinity Ward seems to think that because you can only see 60 degree's you can also only hear in that angle.
Weapon unlocks, yay we're back to the old system where for no apparent reason apart from making you clutch on the game longer you don't have stuff that doesn't make sense. Scopes for example, are just personal preference. I like holographic scopes for example. Why the fuck do I have to wait till level xx to get it? What was wrong with Black Ops system? That was a huge step forward in my book, but always one step forward means automatically two steps back.
Lazy and Ignorance are all over the fucking place, entire environments, buildings, textures, animations everything is just fucking copied. As I said NetCode sucks major ass. Also forget the 60 FPS they promised, I checked it in the game files it's max capped to 45 FPS. The little bit of what's left of Infinity Wards competent team that made CoD 4, well believe me the competent part of the dev team certainly left alright. They kept the PR team which is why they bloody well sell they're stuff.
Seriously if you're intending to get this on PC, don't, there's a reason review codes weren't given out for PC. If would've been bashed to shit. I can see someone with a console enjoying this, graphics are about as good as they get on a console. I'm not flaming consoles, I just mean that there is little to nothing that makes getting this on PC makes for a better experience.
Just run in blast away, get consistent pats on the shoulder assisted with epic metal riffs and guitar solo's, it constantly gives you candy for every 10 kills you make and that's fine, I see why people would be able to enjoy that.
Ofcourse there is stuff they nailed with this, custom gamemodes, theater mode and such absolutely brilliant and something I'm still waiting for to see in other games.
I don't hate CoD, I just don't, I've played loads of CoD 4 if I just want to have some dumb FPS action I'll still to this day put CoD 4 in. I'm not gonna hate you for buying/playing/enjoying this game, you're a gamer for fucks sake you can spend your well earned money and enjoy it however you damn well please.
Just needed to get this of my heart guys, if any of you actually read through this all thank you for that.
