Well I finally got the game installed and played MP for about 3 hours now and will post what I think of it so far. Don't expect this to be pretty i am no where near a reviewer LOL, this is just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt if you wish

Gameplay- Very fast paced which I really like, normal COD twitch shooter

Graphics- Tweaked MW2 engine obviously, it is fine with me. Looked good maxxed out,
like as good as a COD game can get without a new engine.

Maps- No where near COD4 quality but we all complain about that I think. The maps I
played all seemed to have good cover and decent routes to get where you want.
I really don't like the respawn system, I think I should put this here since it seems
like on certain maps I was constantly getting shot in the back. Like someone died
and they threw them right behind me. Reminded me a lot of black ops where you
can basically kill 1 or 2 people and turn around and have people on their way.

Guns- Really like the way the guns feel when firing and the damage they do. Compared
to other cod games I think the feel and sound a good bit different.

Attachments- The damn baby monitor is back and I think it is worse then the noob tube
other then that same old stuff with the exception of 2 sights. Same old
COD we are use to

Connectivity- They know it should have ded servers but honestly I had no issue what so
ever getting into games and only had 1 host change in 3 hours. Lag was
almost non existent on my end, had the occasional hiccup here and there
but nothing to complain about at all. Ran pretty darn smooth really

Players- Pc gamers are by far the bitchiest people ever, I thought xbox 360 was bad but
boy o boy pc takes the cake. So many people complaining about why the sky is
blue. I mean really I heard it all. Calling out hackers, lag, ping, saying the game
sucks but still playing. I mean just about anything you can think of people were
complaining about. At least I didn't have to sit there and listen to some stupid
music blaring thru someone's mic, that's a plus.

Perks- I am new so I cant really comment on this, not enough time to really get a good
layout but looking thru them all there is something for everyone. Should be easy
to set up classes for your play style. Think they did good here

Killstreaks- MW2 all over again, some things are set up different but if you played MW2
then this will feel the same. I like the options you have to choose from, with
the right people on your team you can really take advantage to what they
offer you and use it wisely to help get the W

Feel free to post whatever you want. Just wanted to get my opinion out there for the people who question the game. I have played every COD title since COD 2 so I am glued to the series for sure. Maybe this can help someone out in making a decision of buying the game or not.

Performance numbers, running the game with my rig in sig at 1366x768, everything maxxed out 4xaa textures at high everything else at high. Saw the low get down to 45fps, avg was around 60 max at least 70fps wasnt keeping too good a eye out on this as I was busy playing.

Cpu usage via task manager showed it staying above 60%, most of the time it was between 75-90%

Gpu stats via GPU Z- memory used 425mb, Gpu Load 89% memory controller load 49% T

These are the highest readings I did not do avg I wanted to see what the max was since my res is so low and everything turned all the way up I wanted to see how high the usage was of the video card. The ole 8800gt is the minimum requirement for this game and at 1366x768 maxxed out it ran the game just fine

LOL i like the paragraph about the pc players being bitchy.

BF3 has attracted a lot more of these bitchy gamer going from BC2 to BF3 i noticed a different crowd of gamers.

Maybe its just me but i always notice someone whining claiming someones a hack where they are pulling a 17/8 or something you know .

Maturity is at a all time low in pc gaming sometimes i see something so stupid or experience it i question who the hell is playing this and why i am.

Sometimes i wish some people would get a head scan before they play i hate playing with fuckheads sometimes.

Got MW3 last night with 20% off and started playing earlier today.

Only played SP so far (1st 2 misisons/chapters). Gameplay is just like the previous ones, which is good because they have it down perfect. It definitely feels hectic and epic.

Graphics aren't going to blow you away but they are look good to me and do the job just fine. Not sure what for FPS I am getting, but got everything maxed on a 4 year old system and runs smoothly without a hiccup.

One thing that I really noticed is the gun sounds and the way they react when shooting. Sound is much better and sounds "beefier" (not sure that is the word I want to use but they sound good). I think this is the best iteration of weapons so far.

Matchmaking system is ok. Would prefer dedicated servers because sometimes you get a really bad host and then it'll pause in the middle of the game to switch. It gets real stacked at times too, when a whole clan is up against a pub squad.

Gunplay is good. After playing bf3 having limited run is kind of a letdown.

I'm glad they nerfed a few of the guns for the last patch. Way too many people were using some of those oped guns in matches. Type 99? or whatever was ridiculous.

Spawning is terrible, but it's terrible in a lot of games. You feel it the worst in some of these smaller maps that COD has. It wasn't nearly bad in Q1 because the maps were bigger but you could still spawn behind people but usually you'd get owned because there was a loud sound effect and a rocket to the wall or a quick shaft with the lg would take you out due to lack of armor.

Hmm... you guys do realize there ARE dedicated servers right? You just have to check the box under options so you can see them. No wonder we have so much trouble getting our server to fill up at night. It'd be nice if they turned the server list on by default with a patch but they probably won't because match making is their baby.

As for the spawns... I very rarely get spawn raped. Infinitely better than Black Ops (or MW2) was. Also keep in mind some modes have respawn timers while others are instant respawn.

I'm saving this pic.

Anyways, I just wish the player movement wasnt so herky jerky. Its like your swinging side to side in this over exaggerated way when you're running. Limited sprint also kinda sucks, but I guess what perks are for. I know it seems knit picky, but those issues and the lack of ranked dedicated servers keep me from playing it more than I do. But it is fun to just run around and blast people from time to time.
