I'm amused by the number of people disgruntled at the apparent lack of innovation. I agree that the engine is beginning to show its age, and that the game looks much less impressive than Battlefield 3, but you must keep in mind that it pushes twice the framerate of Frostbite 2.As for the gameplay, many people expected Modern Warfare 2 to play exactly like Modern Warfare and belittled it before launch, much as is happening with MW3. Yet when it arrived it contained enough variation on the proven system that those people fell in love again. And a few people have made comments about the lack of destructible environments in MW3. That's simply silly. Battlefield is offered as a large, evolving battleground with the tools available to alter the cover drastically. The Modern Warfare series is marketed as a small-unit, swift tactic war zone. To expect either to offer the other's system is like expecting a red dot sight in Halo. And I think that people - on both sides of the MW3/Battlefield 3 debate - who feel the need to talk down to their less-favored game and its fans are too insecure about the quality of their chosen side. Buy and enjoy one or both of them, and let everybody else do the same. 
Insecure?  People have to be insecure to note that one is of better quality than the other? People can like what they want. When it comes to quality.. ....BF franchise stomps. I love Mass Effect, so do a lot of people. Still most of us (the non fanboys ofcourse) understand that it is a casual streamlined RPG.  There is no being insecure about it. Thats like calling people who claim Mario is the superior platformer to Sonic insecure. It doesn't take insecurity to comprehend when a game is of lower quality than its contemporaries. MW2 was that game. 
Fucking BINGO. 
 
Anyone who defends COD at this point just doesn't get it. You're on Giantbomb...... most of the people here know at least enough to call bullshit when it needs to be called.

This doesn't look good at all.  1.  It looks like MW2 and/or Black ops 2.  Pretty much the entire trailer was 3rd person.  The only cool think was the spinning logo. lol

@Xeirus: You failed to read my response to his post. Page 10, halfway down. If Mortal Kombat fans do nothing but post disparaging comments about Street Fighter, that shows that they are either insecure about the quality of MK or simply douchbags. 
 
I'm buying and enjoying both MW3 and Battlefield 3. If I wasn't neutral, I wouldn't have posted as I did.

"Modern Warfare 3 to feature ground-breaking glass technology! Run on it, shoot on it, throw it at someone you don't like. The possibilities are endless!"

Turned it off 2 minutes in. The king is dead, long live the king.

So they added breakable glass, made the textures worse and added some more kill streak options? I was actually kind of looking forward to MW3, but man this trailer makes the game look so underwhelming.

@TehJedicake: yup. looks the same. I've never been a real fan of CoD, but I'd thought that infinity ward at least would make SOME graphical updates to its new game since the company just got revived, but no...

I'm actually glad that neither of the big military shooters look very interesting, Too damn many games to buy this fall as it is.

@sofacitysweetheart: You do realise that all of the MW games are clones from Battlefield 2 (I don't mean Bad Company 2, just in-case you get mixed up) riiiiight?? You know the unlock mechanic etc.. etc.. etc.

I'll still get both, MW3 for the Spec-Ops and singleplayer and BF3 for the multiplayer.

Call me crazy, but does anyone kinda miss the simpler multiplayer of the original CoD? I sure do anyway :\

Exactly. It seems the approach they're taking now is the more stupid perks and killstreaks they add the less they have to worry about balancing and making a good competitive shooter. Give me a mosin or kar98k bolt action any day of the week... No scope on it of course.

The multiplayer trailer for Battlefield 3 didn't feel desperate to impress me like this one did. It did it effortlessly.

This could easily just be MW1 or 2 ... Isn't really a great deal between the three which is a shame now, they need to do something.. I'll still get this but i'm hoping BF3 is good enough to compete so i can enjoy both.

Until folks stop buying the same game over and over each year, They will keep adding numbers to it, changing it's name and charging your 60 bucks for it.

Im not going to lie. Sound effects from Call of Duty 1 in there and an orchestral score got me really excited for a moment.

So... more Call of Duty then? Think BF3 is going to be my FPS of choice.

I think this is the year I tire of Call of Duty. I've had a great deal of fun with it since 4, but this just feels old now. I'll probably end up with it at some point, but I'm in no hurry.

It's hilarious to me that everyone in this trailer is running and shooting simultaneously. Hey, Infinity Ward: No one does that.

i want to see really poor sales of this game... like not even a quarter of what Black Ops pulled in. f*** you AV...
 
i'm sure it will make a killing though... as long as it says CoD on it people will buy it. i'll be too busy playing BF3 anyway

I like how the slow motion seems to be highlighting everything about this game that has been in the series forever. Breakable Glass! Terrible Kill Streaks! Load out Customizations! Shitty graphics! Seriously, though, this game's graphics are dog shit. Looks like a PS2 game.
