The survival mode and Spec Ops and better SP campaign are the positives I have noted.

I think it is ok they do something different with each title in the franchise, so you have reason to hold on to each version.

Kill Confirmed was suppose to get rid of campers, but now people camp around kills that are not collected on.


lol

Good thread idea! I hate people who base their view of CoD on the single player, nobody plays that shit its all about the online!

Here's my opinion:

Good things about the game:
- Nice graphics, sound, etc. Pretty similar to MW2 but a touch better.
- Excellent hit detection and barely any lag so far. Makes BO look horrible in comparison.
- Support/Specialist killstreaks are awesome! So much fun to use and way less stressful than trying to build assault killstreaks.
- I like how instead of killstreaks its now pointstreaks, stuff like shooting down air support and capturing objectives helps build your pointstreak.
- Perks are great and so far are really balanced. I can't yet see any perks as being way overpowered, although there are completely useless perks like Marksman and Extreme Conditioning.
- Kill confirmed is so much fun. Great new game mode.


Cons:
- The maps suck complete dick. There's only a couple I actually like. There are way too many buildings, tight alleyways (to camp), and too many objects to "head glitch" behind. Look it up if you don't know what head glitching is. Hopefully the map packs they make will have more open maps with a bit less cover/hiding spots.
- Knifing still sucks, no more 50ft commando lunges but its still annoying getting stabbed when you shoot a guy 4 times.
- Its still pretty annoying when you get the first shots in on your opponent and he gets the kill. Especially when the flinching your shots cause move his crosshairs up onto your head and give him a headshot.
- Still has the same bullshit from previous CoD's when you die in 1 bullet just because the guy who killed you dies as well. Has anyone else run into this problem? Sometimes I watch the killcam and my opponent hits me with literally just 1 shot and then he dies which causes me to die as well. I don't get it.
- Camping is still an issue, but not nearly as bad as Battlefield 3.

The Campaign in MW3 is still a lot of fun compared to most FPS games and is a Step Up from MW2.

Oh and here's my rankings for CoD online play since CoD4

1. Call of Duty 4 - Probably will always remain in my top spot. Had the best maps, balanced perks, no killstreak spam like we have today, great guns with varying amounts of recoil, etc. Just the perfect game (sans Martyrdom and Frag x3)

2. World at War - Underrated game. I didn't play it that much since I was still obsessed with CoD4 when it released but it was a great game. Unfortunately it was overshadowed by the still-awesome CoD4 and then the massive hype for MW2. But it had superb maps, and just like cod4 had great perks and killstreaks.

3. Modern Warfare 3 - Debated putting this at #2 but the shitty maps drop it to 3rd.

4. Black Ops - Had awesome maps like Firing Range, Cracked, Launch, Radiation and Summit...but horrid hit detection really set it back. Plus Last Stand was a major problem, and Ghost is probably the most abused perk in CoD history. Ghost was so powerful they had to split it into 2 perks in 2 different tiers for MW3 (Blind Eye + Assassin).

5. Modern Warfare 2 - OMA Noob tubes, Commando, stupid quickscoping, killstreak mega spam, massive camping, heartbeat sensor...need I go on? Only redeeming things about it were good hit detection and some good maps like Afghan, Highrise, Invasion, Scrapyard, Skidrow, Terminal and Wasteland.


And just a random list I feel like making (I don't expect anyone else to care), here are the best maps from CoD4 thru MW3 that I would put in the next CoD game if I could, like a greatest hits:

From CoD4: Ambush, Backlot, Bog, Killhouse, Crash, Crossfire, Shipment, Strike and Countdown

From WaW: Downfall, Hanger, Dome, Asylum, Airfield

From MW2: Afghan, Highrise, Invasion, Scrapyard, Skidrow, Terminal and Wasteland

From BO: Firing Range, Cracked, Launch, Radiation and Summit

From MW3: Dome

Just going to say that MW3 feels very identical to the past 4 iterations of the series and leave it at that, actually I have the same complaints with this game as i did the past four, lag, hit detection, awful sounds, ugly, unbalanced, killstreaks are stackable, maps suck ASS, most likely nothing will get fixed.

At the same time I'm also hardly enjoying BF3 since its console limitations show on the PC version as well, disapointed in both games. Hopefully both developers do a good job patching their mediocre games.

It'll probably remain in everyones top spot forever.

I actually like MW2 the most :)

How does it compare to MW2 and BO?
