Although I won't pass on judgement yet since I haven't played the game enough, I do feel its much better and has more breadth in the long run than BO. Firstly MW3 has very little latency issues (at least from my perspective) whereas black ops had atrocious lag/latency issues at all times. Also the MW3 is more fast paced whereas black ops was deliberately slowed down down at points. Guns don't have much recoil with kick but they do have idle sway this time around which wasn't present in MW2 whatsoever. So now its a choice between kick or focus where you either deal with more recoil or idle sway. I have yet to unlock the other weapon proficiences to judge their worth, but these two seemed huge. Quickscoping I agree seems a bit annoying, but we'll see over time what happens to it. There are indeed a lot of killstreaks, but I think the support ones are justifiable as most of them are very passive and helps the team. As for the assault, I didn't try them but they take more kills I believe.

Gun game and a lot of new modes are now available though private match and distributed through the elite app which I suggest you download. Kill confirmed is good because it actually gets people to run out and around and play a bit more strategically, like being in packs or using the tags as bait, etc. I think its a nice touch.

The reason the guns in Black Ops recoiled because they were from the 1960's.

MW3 guns are from the present and near future.

I wonder if anyone played Survival mode, it looks to be the next big thing like Zombies?

I said in my first post that I tried survival with a random in matchmaking. I think I played in resistance and the game was a ton of fun. It has a lot of variety when it comes to enemy types unlike zombies. Mind you I am a huge fan of zombies myself but survival has a very nice MW touch to it. I have yet to unlock and try everything, but it is very fun and promising.

I was just wondering, because if Survival is a lot of fun, it could catch on like Zombies which is insanely popular with casual gamers.

Survival mode looks crazy, you can call in a supporting delta team and you get attacked by dogs with C4. lol!

lol yes, we had like guys with C4 on their chests running at us in hoards at higher levels. You'll definitely need some kind of strategy for it as well because at higher levels its very easy to get overun by these exploders and stuff.

Then every other round, rather than having the hellhounds you have your juggernaut which increase in number over time, plus you get attack helicopters trying to take you down. Even the nomal enemies get more powerful weapons as the rounds go by, so as I said it has a lot more variety than zombies for sure.

No... that's Skyrim lol.

Had it since Saturday, completed the game on Insane in under 7 hours and got most of the Intel.

Played Spec Ops. I really liked it on MW2 and this seems great too. I like the mini missions still got to try survival though.

Multiplayer is your usual CoD. Some maps I like, sone I don't. I like the new point streaks and weapon levelling.

Sounds great man! I've only been hearing good things about MW3 so far. I didn't get it at midnight but I'll prob get it sometime in the afternoon (after classes)

I've been hearing the maps are a lot smaller, with more flanking routes...designed for more fast paced gun on gun gameplay which I love! I sure hope that's true. Plus aren't explosions waaaayyyyy weaker than in MW2? I've heard you can survive a noob tube if its a few feet away even w/o blast shield.

I am kind of worried quickscoping will be annoying, I hate getting killed by some 12 year old kid from 3 feet away when he has a sniper and I have a sub-machine gun. But whatever it was annoying but not gamebreaking in MW2 so I'm sure it'll be the same in MW3.

I've also heard (like you said) Kill Confirmed is great. I can't wait to play that game mode.

every gun has recoil..time frame doesnt matter. sure the older weapon had more but still technology doesnt fully nullify newtons 3rd law.

All very legitimate criticisms.

Aren't the servers muuuuuuch better than in Black Ops though? I've heard the hit detection is 10000000x better than in BO and there is way less lag. 

Plus can the killstreaks or quickscoping possibly being any worse than in MW2? They were horrible in MW2.
