Too bad I suck at these games. I'll be interested for the single player campaign, though. The last two were great.

Cool trailer but a bit ruined what with all the leaking. If cheap will buy. Some of these comments though, why the hell did everyone suddenly go hipster with the Call Of Duty games. People like COD, big deal if you don't don't buy it, I really do not understand what the hell you lot are complaining about.
It's popular and it's published by Activision. Plus, many original dev members left/were fired after that fiasco with the IW heads which leaves a bad tastes in everyone's mouths.
If your talking jobs then those guys all still have jobs at Respawn after they quit. Activision would have hired people to replace them at IW thus making new jobs and also brought in two other developer teams to work on MW3. Plus the details of the court case between the two is so unclear that it may turn out that the two heads of IW were in the wrong. I can understand not buying or disliking Activision games because of there business practice but the quality of the COD games hasn't suffered yet. Most people in here are just degrading it for being slightly more mainstream than every other big name game. I also do not see the point in so many people bitching about a game they claim they will never play. What odds is it that it sells gangbusters its not going to effect you if you didn't buy it, if you know what I mean. This wasn't directed at you just everyone complaining in here or thinking they are better for saying they're not buying

mw3? Really? oh god why is the CoD font so big?
Because the reason the call of duty font was small in MW2 was because infinity ward wanted to distance themselves from the call of duty name because they didn't like sharing it with the world at war developers (can't think of their name). Not because they were bad developers i think, they just probably didn't like the fact that they were basically riding on the success of MW1 and using the call of duty name, so they gave them the name and tried establishing Modern Warfare as the name of their games by making Modern warfare 2 in big font on the box and Call of Duty small(note they actually removed it from the collectors edition and hardened edition but kept it on the standard in small font)  But now since Activation is in the reins, they made the font on Call of Duty big in order to make it apparent that Modern Warfare is not the main name. That's probably also why it is now abbreviated. Basically they said fuck you infinity ward, listen to us. If they are developing this on that is, is it still infinity ward after that whole fiasco? 
Also this is mostly speculation, but it kinda makes sense...kinda....

If you don't have the dignity to demand improved content as the years go by, willing to pay the same full price for the same game being rehashed over and over just because others are doing it, you're an idiot.

if you don't have the brains to notice that the once magical industry of video games where you could find any concept, theme or idea, actually being used and tried in videos games, turn into a generic innovation-less competition fest because COD is having smashing sales, you're an idiot.

look at the world pre-MW :
There was Battlefield 2, considered one of the greatest most sophisticated online FPS games of all time
There was Crysis, a game that went against the current by being a PC exclusive, pushing technology to the limit, and creating a charming living world consisting of a tropical island + big mountain terrains
In addition to many, many games that could actually be distinguished by just gazing at their screenshots

now look what's happening: Crysis 2 crushed the fucking fans of the series by turning into a COD clone. Battlefield 3 went multiplat and is having "we're lowering the threshold" as it's motto, etc..

I'm not a COD hater, COD1 was my very first 'serious' shooter and i loved it, i also enjoyed COD2, and MW and W@W are also both quality products that i enjoyed single and multiplayer
but then i purchased MW2, and i noticed how this series is now designed to shit on us. i paid 60$ for the PC version and all i got was MW1, except it had minor tweaks.. did i just pay full price for those tweaks?

and then i happily pirated Black Ops, and i wasn't mistaken. it was more of the fucking same.

it's time to try and make a fucking stand, because video games as we know them are getting disfigured by the explosive existence of Call of Duty.
I totally agree with you, man.

Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo: Reach. ( Halo 3: ODST, Halo Wars)

I think Halo: Reach is a good stopping point for bungie and me. I DO NOT want to see any Halo video game for five years at least, until they come up with fresh and awesome ideas about what to do with the franchise. I had enough Halo, I don't care about it anymore.


COD ... (lots of games) ... COD MW3.

I played COD 1, 2, 3 and first MW and I can say that's enough for me. I gave it a try to Black Ops but it didn't caught me, for me it's over, I don't want to play more COD games, COD4 was the last one for me, I enjoyed it and loved it but that's it, no more COD games, please.

But I have to tell you something, I have a friend, he just got his Xbox 360 and he had heard about these COD games and he even played one of them a little. He is excited for these games because for him Black Ops is his first COD game.

So I think many of us are just tired of these COD games, we know the formula very well and it doesn't attract us anymore. It doesn't mean that COD games are totally bad, they use the same formula and it happens to be brand new for some gamers who haven't played previous games and for them these games are awesome and they probably are, it's just that we don't care anymore.

I'm interested in seeing how well the story-line is this time and judging from the video's and location's presented, it might just end up being great! Granted that they actually take time to develop it correctly this time!

Hey bro, IGN forums are over there. You'll feel more welcome with all the other pre-pubescent shitstains. 
Want me to apply some salve for that aching butthurt? If a gamer professes that Mindjack was fun for a certain segment of gamers that's fine. They still have shit taste for games.  Not everything has to be Ico, Braid, or some "arty-farty" game, but gamers who lap every iteration of a franchise with no expectations of improvement or even signs that the series is moving forward are a problem and they should be mocked incessantly for being idiots.

By your logic, 99% of the games that release a year are inherently bad and the people that enjoy them are stupid. Again, IGN, over there. People might actually take you seriously there. Here? No. Unless the average age of a GB user went down significantly.
I don't know where you get off thinking you were given to speak for the entire community, but you're not, so maybe you should sit the hell back down.

And yes, most games released yearly are derivative and barely average experiences. If you're impressed year after year with the majority of videogames, you are the IGN community. 

I think you misinterpreted my post, there White Knight.

I just play what's fun - and sometimes these games are fun. MW2 had its moments but was incredibly frustrating - i quite enjoy a few rounds of BLOPS now and again. I feel like I need to qualify that with "but I play other games too"...but then, do I?

Complain as some people do, there's clearly a reason why COD games are popular - whether you want to affix them with the tag of "ruining the videogame industry" or not, there's a market for these games, and if they were truly so awful they likely wouldn't sell

Are they the most innovative games? No, of course not...there's plenty of other games to take up that mantle, and whether those cutting-edge games sell or not is hardly the fault of the company making (or not) making them. If that's your beef, then it's pretty much with society at large.

I look at it like this - I'm not always looking to try bizarre French cuisine every night either - sometimes a burger and fries will do - and COD is my comfort food.

Perhaps people should wait a bit longer before they deem this game to be the "same ole, same ole" or GOTY. I find that talk going hand in hand with the cliche "but i'm a free will thought gamer" to be quite ironic. Unless of course you just assume this game is going to be a pure walkie-talkie/ green map viewing simulation, to which I say judge on.

i bought MW,MW2, and WAW i did not buy BLOPS and i will not buy this game so your logic is dumb
the sales of BO is like never before .  You know I'm talking about the majority of gamers  . Cool story brah for stating that opinion and offending  another user  ....

1. There's no space before and after a period in a sentence. Like this. Not like this .

2. Sales of Black Ops mean nothing. I'm sure even more people play Farmville. Does that mean it's a godsend to videogaming? Technically they are on the same plan. Simple, dumbed down auto-gaming that ANYBODY can play.

3. Cool story brah? What is this, 4chan? Take your bullshit memes and leave.

I have to say that I am a huge fan of the MW series.

Every time I mention that I feel the need to defend myself but I'm fighting it this time: they're just really fun games to me, both single and multiplayer.
