Confusing. But you set each custom class with their own strike package (killstreak set). And you can shuffle between earned killstreaks in game.
The dog tags in the game is from the Kill Confirm game mode. It feels more TEAM deathmatch than the TDM we’re used to. Of course with a bunch of green arrows, you’ll play old school TDM regardless. Kill Confirm is a really nice game mode. Some intense shit when the game is coming close to the end.
I’m upset at the lack of new game modes. I only heard of Dog Tags but really thats it!?! All this time planning you can only offer one new game mode? Hopefully down the line they offer more FREE but right now I’m pretty upset with that.
I can’t think of one single person who wanted them to come back.
Wait, there was Raging Amish (the youtube commentator). But he wanted them back in the form of stuff like Copycat. As in, stuff that gives players a boost while still requiring them to work for their kills.
Otherwise, no. Whole community hated it, from what I could see. At best, it was tolerated, like what’s happening in this thread now. I don’t get it. Leaving them out would have saved a bunch of development/testing time that could have went towards either other new modes (besides Kill Confirmed) or perhaps nice out-of-game lobby shit (like that “copy class” feature BO had). Stuff like that wouldn’t have even required massive changes to the gameplay engine. But instead, they waste resources bringing back stuff people hate.
EDIT:
Ugh. That’s the dumbest thing… I really want to be hype for this game. I do. But while R. Bowling isn’t all of IW, he is essentially parroting their gameplay ideals. If that’s how they feel, I’m nervous as shit for the rest of the game.
That one line sums up why I am jumping to Battlefield. One of the reasons Cod4 is still so well liked is it doesn’t cater to anyone. Yeah there is dumb shit in it but it doesn’t noob it up for the sake of balance. Deathstreaks are dumb fucking idea, and fuck painkiller. Nothing is worse then hitting a guy 3 to 4 times with a Barret and watching them just walk off. When you cater to the lowest common denominator generally speaking you get the lowest common denominator.
What pisses me off the most about that is the utter tunnel vision there. Yeah, it makes bad players better challengers. For a minute. At the most. But then they’re back to whatever unproductive strategy they were using. They learn nothing. But let’s assume this bad player actually wants to climb the ladder and become good. Now HE has to deal with people using Deathstreaks, aside from whatever other broken BS is going to rise to the surface in MW3. That is, until he gets to that zen/youtube commentator status, where he’s pulling out great games no matter what, regardless of BS. Wait a minute, you mean to tell me THOSE guys hate Deathstreaks too? Even though they get good games? Who would’ve thunk it?
Take those fucking things out. You don’t even have to replace them with anything. If you took out the P90 or any other gun in the game, you’d have to have a replacement. Deathstreaks? Just take them out. No one would miss them. Easiest thing in the world, and you can apply the resources elsewhere. Apparently, that’s not possible.
I’m not digging the Revenge thing at all especially if the respawn system is as wonky as in previous games.
Disappointed they brought back the Baby Monitor.
Why do they keep bringing back the Desert Eagle? I would love to see something more ridiculous like the 500 magnum. lol
I kind of like the idea of a EMP grenade.
Whoooa, I’m really looking forward to using the blast shield with the riot shield. The immunity to flash and stun grenades (biggest weakness to the riot shield) REALLY appeals to me. Then again, has blast shield always been immune to stun grenades? I never used it in MW2.
No one used Blast Shield in MW2. It was one of those things that sounded good in principal but in actual practice it got blown up.(Quite literally) It also restricted your vision.
It should be useful in 3 though. The explosive damage has (allegedly) been toned down, and there’s no perk I see that can increase it.
Amount of people who got 5+ straight deaths over the weekend at CoD XP = Zero.
I don’t know why you continue to bitch and stress yourself out over something that won’t be removed. Seriously, if you complained about deathstreaks at CoD Xp you’d get 6,000 people laughing at you, even your idols (youtube commentators). If you’re going to complain, that could be changed is that the UMP is utterly Overpowered. Believe me, I was there. If the other SMG’s were unlocked I could have tested those too but the hipfire-easy-to-kill from BlackOps is in there and will fuck you up more than Deathstreaks that will come around once every lunar eclipse.
Although I do understand your point, you can not use Cod XP as a counter argument. Only the hardcore Cod players are going to attend that event so of course no one is going to get merced on an endless basis. One of the things srk is general never really understands(and this covers all games) is that we are not the average gamer by along shot. I do agree that you shouldn’t stress out over it but he has the right to bitch if the thinks the mechanic is stupid.
It’s not just about Deathstreaks overall (though I really do fucking hate that they’re in). One of the underlying reasons for my bitching is that if they’re that stupid with Deathstreaks, what about the full game? It’s easy to say the game is good from a two-day event where people paid 150 dollars (and for some, a plane ticket as well) to go out. You don’t have people who are garbage, or people who have a lot of time to exploit the system in any way they can. You’ll have both those around release time, and frankly, I’m worried about that. The same mentality that allowed Deathstreaks will probably let a whole lot of dumb shenanigans through. And it might continue on to further IW games (if they make another MW).
what method is that?
CoD4 was a fluke for IW. It didn’t cater to anyone because it wasn’t expected to do any better than CoD2 because it was so different and it was the 1st game in the series to actually care about MP. Even then, It wasn’t expected to be nearly as crazy popular. People need to stop making it out like CoD4 was the best and only worthy CoD game. fool you weren’t even on board UNTIL that game. I have been playing since the 1st CoD and was on before they were call IW making MoH:Allied Assault for EA. I can call the current community dumb, but I’m not allowing it to dictate how I play or ruin a game for me. we all know damn well you’re going to BF3, you could have left anytime…you’re only leaving now because unlike last year which had shitty MoH. BF3 looks to be a decent game so you knew you had one other option to go to and come back here to shit on CoD. I couldn’t care less if you play the next game or not but you coming in here to shit on MW3 is stupid. you don’t see me shitting on BF3 thread…I still hate EA but admit the game is good. just not my style.
if it didn’t limit your HUD and vision I’d rock it way more.
Just like I have a right to say quit your bitching and go away if you don’t care for the next game…but hey to each his own. again feel free to keep coming into here to shit on CoD…you’ll come back…they all do sooner or later.
Probably running UMP w/Silencer with Marathon Pro, SP Pro, Ninja Pro. Setup is so beastly in MW2.
Hopefully as a perk blast shield won’t remove your HUD and too bad the pro version won’t show you where the enemy you stunned/flashed is.
Nah I don’t hold allegiances to any sort of game or company, I learned to not do that awhile ago. FYI I have played every Cod game since Cod 1 for the PC, as well as MoH, old school CS, DOD etc etc. Funny how it is the die hard Cod fans that are getting mad salty when people talk shit about their franchise. Talk shit about BF all you want, I really don’t care. My best friend and his wife do all the time. BTW I said BF BC2 was better then BO as well, there was just hardly anyone on my friends list to play it with. The strength of BF is also its drawback, it is very much team based.
Cod4 was no fluke either, they knew that game was gonna be hype. That game was over way before it even came out. Initially they probably didn’t expect huge sales but they knew once that first trailer came out and everyone blew up over it.
So yeah if you wanna troll me and get mad at me for saying they have no idea wtf they are doing with MW3 and not being “loyal” go right the fuck ahead I really don’t give a shit. As long as you realize I am not here just speaking out of my ass been a FPS player since OG CS.(One of the reasons I hate SnD is because it is like a bastardized version of CS).
Btw I am not mad at you either, you have the right to speak your peace. As far as being back, if they make a Cod game that I think has potential then yeah I will. Like I said I am not a loyalist, if I have interest in the game I will play it.
Any-ways I guess I’ll pull a “Kaz” and just see what “SRK says” come November. I’ll be skipping per-ordering MW3 though. BF3 has swayed me with it’s pretty environments and how everything has explosive properties. Also cause it’s something NEW.
MW2 had pretty environments and explosive properties for damn near everything. Marinate on that.
I meant “destructible” sir. Like you can blow up the middle building by “B” flag on Crash and remove their camping spots.
