Modern Warfare 3 Expands Spec Ops Into New Survival Mode

Aerial bombardments, chemical strikes, dogs with bombs strapped to their chests? That's easy. But the Juggernaut? He's the toughie.

I'm really curious if this will be the game that sets the series on a downhill slide in terms of money making. Anyways, I can't believe how much this looks like MW2.

So it'll be just as useless as the mode in MW2, since most of us don't necessarily sit around making play dates with other grown men.

It has matchmaking you big dummy.

It is so similar to MW2. When this game comes out, and I see a friend playing it, I won't be sure if it's 2 or 3.

I think it looks fun for sure. But I sure like the look and feel of the Frostbite engine more.
I do have my eyes on MW3 though. I hope there is a demo, because Black Ops felt terribly old.

Because people think it's cool to hate on the game for no reason.

Looking forward to this. Everything in that trailer looked really fun.

I still don't know why people click on topics/videos relating to games they already don't like, just to say they don't like how it looks.... again..

But I like called it last year, I knew Black Ops was going to do amazing numbers. But this one....this one for sure, looks beyond stale right?
 
I've lost it. I no longer know what's going on. I'm excited to see what happens sales-wise. I'll be buying Skyrim that week though.

So it's zombie mode minus the zombies. I'm ok with this, can't complain about more ways the kill things in MW3.

The similarities between this and Mw2 are just uncanny. Its like they just made modifications to the actual game and not the engine.

I said I was going to buy this game if they introduced something new or interesting to the series. This is not that.

I'm insane to think this won't sell Black Ops numbers right?

I wish I could say you were but this game is going to top the charts yet again. Unfortunately this is also going to outsell BF3 because no matter how many people on the internet say they're going to buy BF3 instead, there's a wider audience who don't go on game forums and love the shit out of CoD.

@zombie2011: It has regular spec ops too. This is another mode. The title is wrong. 
 
 
Also I love people hating on the game because it is the cool thing to do.

At this point I honestly have no idea. With every installment some people are always going to proclaim it to be the downward slide financially but I don't think it's possible to predict at this point.

Looks good. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I expect the MP in MW3 to be as solid as the previous games. Like the look of the minimap in the final part of the video.

I think I'll get this used, not really grabbing me the same way MW2 did.

No, this is not what Spec Ops should be, i loved Spec Ops in MW2 especially the bridge level. Spec Ops was basically set pieces that were cut from the campaign but were too awesome to throw away. Besides this looks lame compared to Horde 2.0 in Gears 3.
