If I were to buy it the fact that enemies being people from my country wouldn't bother me. However I would probably only rent it because I'm becoming jaded toward realistic military shooters.
Like it really matters. Extremist Republicans or those that blindly hate video games will just make a big fuss over it and then either itll get cancelled or just edited so that we're not killing US soldiers or just have America standing over the bodies of Soap and Price with a huge fireworks display and F-22s soaring overhead with a big-ass flag flowing in the background.
I'd be a little annoyed if i was killing Australian soldiers, but seriously, when the fuck is that likely to happen in a video game?
And while Blops WILL be my last Treyarch CoD, I enjoyed MW2 so I will be getting MW3 regardless.
Don't judge me.

Call of duty is just like activision's annual sport games.
I never buy those games, so I would not buy Call of duty. Now if they started giving a gap of year between release then that would be a completely different story.

How the fuck would someone enter this captchas!?

Yeah, the american army or marines would probably throw a tantrum over them being shown in the same light as the terrorists they risk their lives every day to fight. I'm surprised the Russian military isn't as pissed as the American's would be, considering how video games portray them.MetallicaRulez0 said:
Mein Gott! Someone with my views! I'd given up on seeing something like that on the Escapist. Especially after what happened on my 'MW3 wishlist' thread.deadman91 said:

I was pretty pissed off with the MP in BlOps and the campaign was bloody terrible! All Reznov (god I hated him after BlOps, in WaW he was alright) was was a dream, some fanservice for those guys who liked him for not doing much in WaW. The missions didn't make sense, too much time was spent playing as the fuckwit in the chair, I actually liked Hudson as a character. Erm, let's see: Woods was so amazingly terrible I pretended he was a dream as well when I went through on Veteran; Most of the goddamn campaign was filled to the hilt with macho 'hip hip hooray we're Americans so touch us and you'll lose' bullshit. The only people who weren't Amercan gun-wankers (and then Hudson) were some russian allies for two missions, some British enemies, the Cuban enemies, the Russian enemies, The German enemies, the British doctor who you torture and should rightly blow you're freakin brains out for it, some random russian guy called like Weevil and the Vietcong - enemies.
As you can see, apart from America, EVERY other country featured appears as an enemy faction.
I like zombies, but that will NOT be enough to justify buying (what looks lie it will be) BlOps 2, the adventures of a weaver, a mason and Hudson trying to rescue Woods from the 'Hanoi Hilton' whilst being chased by an MI6 agent (with the first name of John - John Price maybe) and Weevil's sister or GF (something like that) who want to kill the three as they are a liability. Another misc annoyance was the mention of big customisation in MP, you have basically the same 5 skins as in MW2 (but themed appropriately) and instead of your primary deciding your looks - it's your perk 1. Then you can draw cocks on your guns, scratch FAIL onto them and give yourself deaths head camo. How mind-blowing.
MW2 on the other hand
I liked the campaign, it didn't seem 'stupidly bad', I didn't see 'massive gaping' plot holes, I didn't see 'The American's leading the world to safety again'. Infinity Ward has been good about that, include multiple campaigns in their games - Russian, British and Americans. In the MW series they let the American's go for the massive pyrotechnics and the British sneak around and shank people. Then the campaigns practically join (like in CoD 4) and the British et to look epic. In MW2 there were Americans, Canadians, British and Australians in 'The 141'. I also liked the diversity of the missions - Middle Eastern town, Favela, American Suburbs, Downtown DC, oilrig, gulag, russian base, forest chalet place, boneyard and a weird secret base in Afghanistan.
I enjoyed the MP, never having met the 'Noob-tube brigade' and always found that '1887's' should always be countered with a SPAS 12 grip FMJ. The Spec ops was a fun and enjoyable challenge and I liked EVERY mission - the awesome power of the AC130 to the nail-bighting tension of running around a slum chased by a massive guy in bomb disposal armour.
The only bad part was No Russian, make the massacre a cutscene and the fight against the FSB a mission - controversy solved.
I WILL be getting MW3, I won't be buying the next Treyarch until I've borrowed it from a friend or tried it first.
Anyway, that's my view and I don't expect most to read it but if you have I hope you don't regret it.
I wouldn't buy it no matter what. I've never liked the Call of Duty games. I find them very bland.
No. The formula would be the same. Call of Duty games are dead to me now. Looking forward to what the ex-Infinity Ward's new development company can come up with when Cashtivision isn't riding their asses.
I loved modern warfare 1, but have got sick of them re-packaging the same game. Modern Warfare 1 & 2, Black Ops, World at War (did I miss any?) are all the same game. Great on their own, but I expect more from a sequel then just different maps and guns.
So to answer your question, no. The CoD stories are always craptacular, so I wouldn't be sold on the story alone. But, introduce new features like destructable enviroments or mission objectives that encourage teamwork (something like MAG) and I would be sold in a heartbeat.

I will buy it regardless of who the enemy is. I want to finish the story and nothing more. It will most likely be the last Call of Duty I will ever buy considering the disaster Black Ops was.
I'll buy it. Why would I car who the enemy is? In a few of the MoH games you play as the Axis and the Allies so it doesn't really bother me who I play as as long as the game is good.
I had many many many hours of fun in MW2.
So yes i will be buying MW3, funnily enough i didnt mind the whole no-dedicated servers thing. It gave the MP a wierd twist as such, and it was fun being put with different people each time and laughing at them.

I'd buy it if it was actually Battlefield 3, just in disguise 
It'd be pretty damned offensive to do what's suggested in by the OP, and would probably put me off the game if I wasn't already sick of the franchise
On the other hand, most people buy CoD for the multiplayer, so it wouldn't hurt the sales too much.

The game should be Modern Class Warfare 3 ! Your character is the guy from monopoly ( with top hat and monocle ) and you have to kill all the poor people trying to scrape out a living for minimum wage . " what do you mean , you can't afford health care !!! I guess you'll just have to die . " Plot points could range from breaking up unions to tricking people to vote against their own best interests !!!
No I would not buy the game. This is not a result of the scenario presented in the OP however. I simply have no more patience for the franchise. The single player will inevitably be a brief affair and the online component seems hell bent on producing an experience that, at a fundamental level, is designed to induce rage more often than joy. While I'd like to see how they wrap up the "story" after the fiasco that was MW2, I'll be perfectly satisfied watching a few videos on the subject and moving on with my life.
