I believe a lot of the features are still being worked on. Let's be patient and wait too see what they have to say. We already know where getting dedi's back. Let it be unranked/ranked that's still a huge step-foward for the PC crowd.

MW3 will not be on Mac at release. However, like MW1, I suppose there's a chance it could be ported over later.

Unkown, I'm sure their working on it quickly as possible.

By installing/playing the content, you agree to their EULA, which more or less will probabaly state they reserve the right to ban you from playing the game under any circumstances.

Activision and it's affiliates take things like this very serious, as they should.

Not doomsday at all, . The 2-18 player count was specified in a console interview, this is not nesseciraly true for the PC side of things.

Dedicated servers, themselves, can be and will be ran on a wide variety of devices. You can run them on home PC's, dedi boxes, or rent from a GSP.

Re: beta

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 00:06:20 GMT

Agreed, beta's seem to be more of a marketing tool more than anything these days. I'm sure if IW/Sledge/Hammer needed help in nailing out bugs they would have done a public beta.

Re: It's disrespectful

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 00:04:53 GMT

MW3 on the PC will have public server files availabe. Basically, this means anyone can run a dedicated server from their home PC or even a dedicated box that they have rented or purchased.

Hey, we're all entilighted to our own opinion. Now we have to remember all major coding, the actual devlopment of the game itself, is done. The dedicated month for PC is too decide and implement extra PC features that we're used too, as well as any optimizations for the PC platform.

As for system requirments, don't expect them to be sky-high, CoDEngine is based on playability and scaling, which it does great. So quite possibly even a modest PC will run it.

Overall, there's no doubt in my mind that MW3 will be great on the PC.

The PC version of MW3 is in it's own devlopmental stage. In fact, the PC itself is the only platform that gets direct devlopment. This is why they don't know all the "facts" yet, as there still being worked on.

3 weeks (almost a month) is a long time to get things out.

No doubt anyone who has played the game early has, and will, be banned.

Re: Future Infinity Ward Engine I.D Tech 4.0 The Future CALL OF DUTY is revealing itself!!

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 01:47:08 GMT

Not quite exactly right, but close...

vCoD (Call of Duty Classic) runs on modified ID Tech 3. After debating in-studio, the team decided the engine couldn't handle what they wanted to do in the future, mostly with reflections/textures/overall streaming, etc. So they decided to make a brand new engine complete with proprietary code. This is known as IW-Engine (CoDEngine).

IW Engine was first used in CoD2, and has been added onto ever since. Usually in sequences, such as 3.0, 4.0, etc. Treyarch too is using IW Engine, however, they have more recently been basing upgrades to the changes they did in WaW.

things i may not like about the multiplayer in MW3

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 19:27:22 GMT

The game hasn't come out yet.

Or... Have a conjuction of matchmaking, in-which official listed Elite dedi's are used for the whole "matchmaking" process, basically identical to what Valve did with L4D/L4D2.

Are we or are we not getting RANKED DEDICATED server's for the PC

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 16:39:56 GMT

No ones forcing you to buy MW3.

Is anyone else not that excited about MW3?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 18:20:58 GMT

MW3 runs on a propierary engine made by IW for CoD2, and has been updated extensively since. There is very little, if any code, left from Quake.

Also, why make an accout on the forums if you aren't even interested in MW3? Just to troll?

Wireless connection question

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 16:21:00 GMT

Can't agree more, I recently hooked my PC back up to a tied line, and by far it is a better expierence. I almost forgot what it's like to not have to reset a router, or foward ports constantly.

Mod tools ? for MW3

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:37:15 GMT

Mod tools are something IW/Sledgehammer want to do. However, it has neither been confirmed, nor denied.
