CorgiShinobi Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Honestly, I can't play a "normal" military/combat FPS anymore. There has to be something to make it unique/different to separate it. BioShock, Deus Ex, Fallout, Killzone, even Borderlands (it is fun with friends).

tonyp2121 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 To be fair anyone who really needs the double XP (me namely) will really need it while those that Prestige within the first week or so probably dont care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I will be digging into the SP tomorrow. Don't got high hopes, but games can surprise sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maritan Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Played a bit of SP, it's the same as before: evil Russians, brave and bold Americans, the usual. I like this type of games, and SP on Veteran provides needed level of challenge. Can't say much yet. Also, the game didn't play in 1080 at first, so I had to tweak it through cfg file. Well, at least it's not like blops, which still refuses to run properly on my PC. Edited November 8, 2011 by Maritan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excel_excel Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Giant Bomb, that seems about right. Apparently the co-op is great and really long lasting. As much shit as COD gets, at least all aspects of it are polished, the co-op, the single player, and the multiplayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says the game is still good, but almost all of the magic has been sucked up and no longer holds much impact. I was worried that would happen after the whole fiasco with the heads getting fired and half the team leaving. It's the reason I didn't pre-order this. I've always loved all the IW CoD's but never really cared much for the ones developed by different studios, and I was worried with all the change up this wouldn't feel like an IW game. Guess I may have been right (obviously one review alone can't confirm that though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 That building thing is a total non-issue. You see it for about 10 seconds total. Â Anyway, campaign is Call of Duty alright, big and loud. The guns feel nice, definitely a COD4 vibe. I am enjoying the campaign, though it's going to be over quicker than the $29.99 Hard Reset was. Â The game is buggy for the PC: lag was pretty bad in 2 player spec-ops with a buddy of mine, and the FOV is horrendous. Really need a fix for that soon. There is also a setting called "Image Quality" that if enabled makes the game look like it's 540p upscaled to your resolution. Game crashed about 10 times before I could get past the opening cutscene, fiddled with some settings and it stopped fortunately. Really it's an a-ok game for those who like COD assuming they patch the PC version soon.

One of the BF3 designers said that there's same model of a certain building that appeared in every Battlefield game starting from 1942. I don't see any problems with that.

TheMightyEthan Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 While one building being reused is not an issue in and of itself, it speaks to an underlying laziness in the game development which could very well be an issue.

deanb Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 The error codes are from Modern Warfare 2 as well. (As in "Modern Warfare 2 has crashed unexpectedly"). Considering they had three studios working on this you'd expect a bit more polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Check out this little temper tantrum one gamer threw: http://is.gd/FXO9K4 Kid like that probably doesn't have many friends to begin with. And frankly, if someone deleted me off their friend's list because of a single game I played, they would be doing me a favor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole game scream REHASH, I don't undertand why people say nothing about the same animations and VO in MP. The error codes are from Modern Warfare 2 as well. (As in "Modern Warfare 2 has crashed unexpectedly"). Considering they had three studios working on this you'd expect a bit more polish. They just picked up the code from MW2, I think it was obvious from the beginning. IW is dead, and they needed to ship the game.

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I've seen those screens floating around, but I'm skeptical. Mine says Modern Warfare 3. Â Â While one building being reused is not an issue in and of itself, it speaks to an underlying laziness in the game development which could very well be an issue. But if it's not being overdone and it fits the aesthetic of the level, what's the issue? Valve does this all the time. Just feel as if people are looking for things to pick on. Â Compared to blops' PC release MW3's release is quite good. Played a couple of matches in MP. Feels like a fat-free version of MW2 with maps that are far inferior to those from MW2. Good to know. Honestly the FOV was the biggest issue after I got the thing to stop crashing. Running smooth now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I said: if it's not being overdone it's not an issue, but that it might be a sign of a larger underlying issue. I just didn't use those exact words.

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yeah, it could be a symptom I suppose. And I think it's pretty well acknowledged that the tech and some assets are being re-used, making the game essentially a new single-player campaign, balancing, and new mutliplayer maps and modes. Then again that's probably what most COD fans want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maritan Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Played a bit more of MP with my friends. The maps are better than I thought, but I guess I'm too attached to maps from MW1-2. GLs and grenades are almost useless, as promised by the devs. Good to know. Honestly the FOV was the biggest issue after I got the thing to stop crashing. Running smooth now. How did you stop crashing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Are you still having issues? I turned off Extra textures and set Image Quality to Native, turned off that Ambient Occlusion thing or whatever it was called. I did get one more crash actually now that I think about it, but before I couldn't even start the campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harri Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 To be honest, the reusing assets aren't that big of a deal. It's ONE building, in ONE level, in ONE area of the game, which isn't that big of a deal considering the fact that most people don't even touch the campaign anymore. Many devs re-use assets often, so I don't understand why it should be such a big deal now. In the case of the game itself, It's going to be fun. It'll be polished, and while it doesn't have the depth or strategy of some other shooters, it's a perfect pick up and play game, much like "angry birds" or "cut the rope". Not something to have a huge competitive scene, but enough to enjoy for a few months before the next big release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 For argument's sake though, Angry Birds and Cut the Rope are free or a dollar each. The big issue is that many gamers are on tight budgets, and $60 is a lot of money if the game is in fact just a rehash. I don't personally see it as such, but there it is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
