To each their own I suppose. I play MW3 every night on pc and really enjoy it

I don't really play MP games though...not enough time to devote to those. Maybe that's why (I'm assuming when you say you play every night it is the MP aspect of it).

Congrats. I can't even see the images (stupid work firewall!) and I got that he was being sarcastic!

AT forums member since 2003, and still can't detect a joke. :sneaky:

Well, it depends on the game. CoD isn't the type of multiplayer title that you need to devote time too. It's a casual shooter. I just hop in every now and then to have some fun (I can only take so much though before it gets old).

It definitely tests your reflexes, there are some days when I'm on a roll and other days when I'm getting slaughtered. But it's not something you need to constantly devote time to in order to enjoy.

I'm still awaiting your response to your blatant trolling attempts of labeling the Hyena Mechanics™ as an innovative measure. We all know that it's merely the Dog Mechanics™ with a slightly different texture. STICK TO THE TOPIC!

Honest-to-god, I did absolutely nothing. Those shots really were taken on High settings.

You can see for yourself if you have the game. When you're not sprinting back and forth through a bunch of explosions, stop and take a second to actually look at the game's textures. They're that bad.

I didn't play Black Ops, so I may have missed that part. :p

Lol, those screenshots are terribad. Thanks for the laugh. After looking at those it makes me even happier that i've never invested any money into this franchise.

i think most people have too much fun playing the game than worrying about graphics like that failure BF3

How is that relevant to my post? I was only referring to single palyer, which I though I made clear.

But you made a comparison to a battlefield game, which is historically been devoid of single player. It's meaningless to say "BF3 had a shit story, so why would you hate on MW3 and not on BF3?"

I've owned Call of Duty 4 for 5 years, and it's great fun! Why should I pay $60 to keep playing, when I can keep playing for free...?

I enjoy playing the Single player campagain in these games.

Graphics isn't everything, but I agree, Massive budgets and this is what they provide?

Those screen shots are awesome. It literally looks like they took the Xbox 360 version, and upconverted it to 1080p for you.

WTF is with your settings? Yikes.

I play MW3 almost every day. It only takes 20 minutes or so to get my fill, but it's fun.

I didn't realize Activision is forcing you to buy MW3? They put a gun to your head? They kidnapped your dog?

Of all the posters in gaming forum.. You are, without a doubt, the biggest troll.

Didn't PC Gamer give the MW3 SP the FPS of the year award? Kind of shocking.

I love people like you. Makes me giddy.

Either

1) You're trolling, just like OP, but are much better at hiding it or
2) You really think BF3 is a failure and didn't buy it, in which case, good. We don't want players like you anyway.

Win/win!

And I don't want to imply I'm special or anything but I honestly knew it was a joke thread the second I read the title. I just couldn't wait to read the "OMG R U OUT OF UR MIND!!?" responses. This forum is a bit too bright though.

(BTW, in Activision's defense...it's hard as hell to render decent foliage without there being a massive performance hit. Got to hand it to the consoles, at least they render it at 60 fps.)

To be fair, PC Gamer has become really sketchy. I stopped reading their reviews after they gave Dragon Age 2 a higher score than The Witcher 2.

But BF3 does have a single player campaign, does it not? So I dont see why it is meaningless to say MW3 had a single player campaign that I enjoyed, or that I would prefer MW3 because I am more interested in single player and the story from the 2 previous games.

So you're saying you buy Modern Warfare games primarily for their single player?

Read my post before responding.

i read your post just fine. let me break it down for your feeble "lulz, CoD sucks" mind.


you asked "Why should I pay $60 to keep playing, when I can keep playing for free...?"

and I said "you don't have to"

is that easier for you to understand now?
