re: Official CoD: MW3 / WZ Thread

Just finished. Loved it. Loved the callbacks. Executed well without being overdone: like when Diego says in Spanish: “What the frick kind of name is Soap?”

Only complaints:

- Loved “Alone” and crafting shite but thought it was a little much in the final mission. Avoiding the enemies without a weapon was cool while trying to disarm the nuke. But just give us a knife and let us take them down without that.

- I get why it was done, but I wish we had the entire TF141 together outside of 3 missions. Wanted to see some Price/Soap, Gaz/Ghost and Gaz/Soap banter like we got when Price and Gaz were on their own and when Ghost and Soap were on their own. Still, really glad we got Ghost and Soap on their own. They developed that relationship very, very well. Maybe they’ll stick Gaz with Ghost and Price with Soap in MW3.

- Because they developed Gaz and Price so well last game, it’s not as big a deal but kind of wish we had one more of just those two. We got a shite ton of Ghost and Soap, which was awesome but we went a long time without Price/Gaz.

Really? That’s the exact shite I didn’t like

Different strokes for different folks

It was def a nod to Ghosts and to the OG MW2 Ghost. They knew exactly what they were doing and how hype it would make people.


Like I said, Price, Ghost, Soap and Gaz make money. They’re going to do at least two more of these with this group. People are invested in the characters and story and most everyone loved it and 2019. I’d be shocked if they ended it after the next one. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if after the 4th or 5th or however many they do, they “retire” 141 and Gaz and Price retire and they start making Ghosts games again with this iteration of Ghost and Soap.

eta: this whole mission is a cluster frick. if you notice, you're going around a 20 mile circle until you hit different checkpoint ques and the linear map changes. you gotta dodge RPGs, proximity mines, drones, jump from truck to truck. it was a little difficult even on "Recruit".

---

While it was a crazy mission the end was pissing me off. I hit a checkpoint with an already critical vehicle so I have to try and jump to another one rt away and not get hit by the flying drones I kept dying.

Earlier in the mission on the first land mines I kept getting check pointed in while be slammed by another vehicle. So yeah that mission was a cluster frick.

So.. $50 for this game by Christmas, right?

yeah right. like activision will let that happen.

Did that happen with MW 2019?

It’s so crazy how detailed IW got the cities.

Real Amsterdam Video

Chicago was crazy, too. I went there for the first time earlier this year, and when you start the last mission, on top of the sky scraper, I went off to the side to see how close it was. It was 99% correct (based off memory). Everything from Navy Pier to the Mag Mile.

Why isn't this free on GamePass?

neroscinema did a video on the recent UK stuff.

UK is worried about Microsoft making CoD exclusive to Microsoft/PC like they did with Bethesda.
