Thanks! Did not read this before :D

I'm planning on getting subscription for the extra content and random videos but then again, if "normal" videos are on youtube anyway, there's really no good reason for not posting videos in 720 or 1080 other than being silly and trying to get subscriptions in a really lame way. Which is something I didn't expect from Jeff, really. Hmm. Bummer.

You should do another Modern Warfare Spoilercast, the one for MW2 was awesome.

The word dogtag sounds really weird to me now...

They should do one for several games this year. I want to hear where Patrick and Jeff thought Catherine should have ended since I'll never play it.

ARMY MEN SHOOTING EACH OTHER IN THE FACE

I totally went through that whole level on veteran using just the pistol and it was AWESOME

The lack of evaluation is this games only problem. If the multiplayer is truly re balanced and refined, im buying this game

Man the guns in this game sound fucking awful.

It used to sound fine, but I think we've been spoiled by BF3. Now they sound like nail guns.

Eh, I think it's more of "we promised HD video as a subscriber benefit before and we don't want them to feel like we're taking that benefit away". That said, it seems that most subscribers who have taken the time to comment on it have no problem with them uploading HD quality to the YouTube channel.

Dogtags.

Jeff, I think you need to reload more.

Go play Crysis 2, the real dog tag game

Moderner Warfare.

For over an hour I thought I was watching MW2....oh this is a new game?

Looks awesome, might pass on this since I'm so addicted to battlefield 3 atm and with the release of skyrim in a couple days doesn't help either!

They both apparently got a bad ending but then never played thru to get any of the better ones or even watched them on youtube.

I got a Platinum in Modern Warfare 2. I'm wondering if I should try and get it for this as well.

@MagikGimp said:

The realism they've achieved in these modern games creeps me out a little; I'm getting old.

You know this is the Call of Duty quick look, right?

@ahgunsillyo said:

DAAAAAAYTOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

Oh... Whoops, sorry. Wrong Quick Look.

Umm... "Get him?" I guess?

What with all those enemies gunning for a handful of dudes, they could have used a...

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLING STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Also, as far as antagonistic helicopters go, that one was pretty determined.

This takes me back to that one time in Grenada when me and my wingman Toothpaste Malloy found ourselves perineum deep in the fecal matter. Toothpaste said to me, he said "We need to get the hell out of here!"

To which I replied, "Let's the h e double hockeysticks outta here then!"

And we proceeded to get the hell out of there.

Or they actually didn't like the good ending.

I recall on the Bombcast they both thought that the game should have ended a few hours before it did because it was a logical stopping point for the story that would have been cool, but they complained that it followed JRPG conventions and went too crazy and idiotic at the end. It had nothing to do with the endings they got - it was that the game continued at all past a certain point. I want to know what that point is and what happens.

Yup that sure looks like a Call of Duty game alright. My bf is enjoying this game at the moment but I'm sure that's because he only paid $30 thanks to Amazon.

Wait, Dogtags?

APACHE!

at some point I wonder if you looked left would there be a big pile of clips since it seems like you throw the clip away every time you reload

Dogtags? Dawgtags!

Dogtags?

In this age of HD, I'm not sure which is worse, MW3's lack of FOV adjustment in the PC version, or your 360p compressed video review content on YouTube.

Magazines. Not clips. :)

Catherine talk in a Modern Warfare 3 video`s comment section? CRAZINESS.

Man. I didn't want this game before, I told myself I wasn't going to get another COD. But I kind of want this game now.

My favorite open source web server.

The call continues to sound... Like it did last year, and the year before.

"DO WHATEVER THIS GUY SAYS! "- FPS Games.

Highjackers on board a presidential plane which crashes into a snowy wasteland... Someone was playing Perfect Dark whilst making this game.

Yes. I half expected aliens to appear at some point during that section.

I don't think I ever quite comprehended the crazy that occurs in these games. I will have to go back and work my way through the series just to see it all. It might not win any awards for ingenuity, but damn if it doesn't look insane.

For players who don't have access to online multiplayer, would you say there's enough content in Single Player, Spec Ops and Survival to warrant the purchase of this title? Personally I thoroughly enjoyed Spec Ops in MW2 as a couch co-op option, and horde modes are always fun - still on the fence about the purchase though. Any opinions?

Look like more CoD. So it doesn't interest me.

One thing though: Shepherd went completely insane because of the NUKE! He lost 30,000 people and the world just f****ing watched. After he was done, there would no shortage of volunteers, no shortage of patriots. The World would know that the U.S. would be at the top once again.

If he was allowed to live, whatever he told the world about Price, about Makarov, about Russia, stuff that he had already warned SecDef about, would be the truth that people would believe. That's why Price and Soap had to kill him. It's all in the game, you just have to pay attention and play it a couple of times. It's not complex but it is a pretty cool story if you ask me.

edit: Also, the Juggernaut Spec Ops mission they show here is NOT in Single Player which they conveniently forgot to mention.

"You can get sucked out!"

"I wish"

"...off the plane"

"Aawwwwr..."

don't know why I am rewatching this but damn.. I came here to see if mw3 is worth replaying and now I just miss Ryan ...

@hiczok:

Same here. I remember watching this quick look countless times mainly because of the commentary though. It's just three friends playing games and cracking jokes but now Ryan isn't there so it's not the same.

Surprising to discover that the origins of the Breaking Brad: Mile High Club is embedded in this, with Brad talking about how much he loved that mode and that he never finished it.
