I watched most of the MW3 livestream on IGN and a lot of information came out.
One thing that I learned is that when you "Unlock Gear" with a token it remains unlocked for the rest of your prestiges (rather than just for the NEXT prestige like I thought). That kind of changes my thoughts on how to use my extra tokens for prestigning in previous COD titles. Whatever gun is unlocked will be able to rank up from Prestige 1 so it's a really good use of a token IMO.
What did you learn from the livestream that you didn't know?
Nothing really stood out to me in that livestream. Most of that stuff has been covered in the forums.
It was nice to see some new maps and weapons. Seven more days!
that everyone who was crying about ballistic vests and the recon jugg being overpowered have nothing to worry about.
and the bettys look great and that the trophy system doesnt look as great as i first thought it would be
I think the trophy system will be very effective but the players didn't seem to place it well, IMO.
it just looked a little light weight to me one or two shots and its destroyed plus it only takes 2 airbourne explosives before its useless
Didn't notice it was only two explosions... takes away a concern I had that it might be too strong...
... since it's equipment, makes me wonder if scavenger would collect a new one (strongly suspect, no)?
I know what you are talking about, i wish they would have answered my question about them though AKA Can the Jugg pick up ballistic vests? Im not to worried about it but still it seemed to me they only answered the questions that were asked by people with, simply put, stupid names.
guns still have no recoil, and the reaper is OP as hell. Just watch the killfeed when one of those things is up in the air.
shoot it down problem solved it will only be overpowered if you let it
Best answer to that ^ period
I wanted to see more of the PP90. I heard from people who went to COD-XP that it was a good SMG.
When asked about his favorite weapon Robert Bowlngi said it is the ACR. I am betting that one won't be nerfed if people start whining about it.
The PM-9 looked like even more of a beast IMO.
Lots of really cool features, from the looks of it. We will all know next week.
UMP 45 didn't look as bad as it was in MW2.
It's still a powerful SMG but not as powerful as MW2's UMP 45.
Maps look amazing
Audio is great as usual from an IW game
Kill Confirmed/Team Defender looks great
Idle Sway on Assault Rifles
LMG's look great
One minor disappointment though
- No coloured mini-map (which was shown in the Spec Ops trailer)
I was actually looking forward to a colored mini-map
I was wondering about that 3D looking mini-map as well. I was kind of thinking that it might be the "Advanced UAV" but it doesn't appear that it made the cut at all.
I am pretty excited about "Team Defender" too. It looks like it's basically TDM with a twist.
The sway on Assault Rifles is a little odd to me and they mentioned that there is a "Breath" proficiency for Assault Rifles now. I guess that's to keep people from just sitting there looking down sight and waiting for someone to come into view? Anything that makes it harder to camp is fine with me as long as it doesn't affect the run-and-gun playstyle.
Dom should be a lot more hectic with point streaks, can't wait for that but that's about it. So I'll wait for feedback before buying.
QQ: Do yuo get one token for EACH prestige in MW3, or just one?
It's one token per GAME you prestiged. If you were 10th prestige in MW2 and 8th prestige in Black Ops you get two tokens.
@fallenshadow000 You get 1 Token per prestige or 4 more if you Prestiged once or more in CoD4 - BO. (You get 1 for each game). If you Prestiged in CoD4,BO & WAW then you'd get 3 Tokens or 4 if you prestige
I loved it, Survival mode looks mroe boring then before but I'll still play it, the MP7 looks intense!! Looks like my new gun.
I started watching the beginning but left because It was the campaign ,to much of a spoiler. I watched the end multi player kill confirmed ,it was pretty good.
They just played through the first bit so it wasn't much of a spoiler. I actually watched it from the beginning but had to go 15 minutes before it was over so I think I caught most everything.
One thing they didn't answer (even though I tweeted them a bazillion times) is if/how the party system has changed. I SOOO hope that they made it easier to use than MW2 and more reliable than Black Ops. Playing with a full party is torturous at the moment (for a variety of reasons) so I hope they did something about it.
I know there are still a lot of people that play MW2 instead of BOPS, and i'm one of them. Hopefully MW3 will bring everyone together so that there are more people to match-make with. Here's hoping anyway!
you do realize that he said if you use unlock gear to unlock a gun, it remains unlocked permanently? He did say that when the question was brought up.
Yes that's what I said.
I thought originally that it would just unlock that weapon (or whatever you unlock) for the next prestige but it would reset when you prestige again if you didn't unlock it again. The fact that it unlocks permanently means that it will most definitely be the best use of the extra tokens we get for prestiging in previous games.
Having a gun unlocked at Prestige 1 means that you can start leveling it up and KEEP leveling it up forever. That's a big deal.
Seems to me that people are still insta-dying just like in MW2. I hope they tweaked it to be more like Black Ops. I really feel that people died too fast in MW2...like a couple of hits and BOOM dead. Black Ops had a much better feel to how many times you actually had to hit someone to kill them.
I also do not like the "generic" emblems and titles. I LOVED the custom art that Black Ops integrated into the game. It looks like they completely left that out of the game unfortunately.
Also, this is a small "want", but I hope they kept the "copy class" feature that BO introduced.
Too many times Infinity Ward does not take all the really nice features that Treyarch ads to the game....it really really takes away from the game IMO when they don't add those nice features.

Black Ops had a much better feel to how many times you actually had to hit someone to kill them. This makes the guns acually useful, unlike in BO people chose the gun that killed in the least amount of time(Famas).

So having a system(titles, emblems, camos, attachments, etc) that takes skill to unlock is taking away from the game?
Don't forget he likes the crap hit detection that Treyarch gave us too.(Smacks self in head)

I actually agree about the insta-dying, and I hope that it doesn't happen in MW3.
CoD4 and Black Ops had better gunfights IMO.
I also enjoyed making creative, tasteful emblems in Blops, but will agree I could not sit through another game full of what I like to call the "horse pickle"
to me it looks like the same as mw2....cut and paste. even has the same chickens in the crate.
but i will buy it and play it like i always do.......just wish some company will step up and blow us all away with something different that wont get boring after a few months
You must not know very much..They cant improve the game graphicly to much or they will mess with the fram rate. >.> COD is about gameplay not half good graphics. Consoles just can not hold high graphics and a high frame rate. Thats why Bf3 for console is only 30fps and have almost a 720p quality. This is definetly something I look forward to and you cant say they didnt do alot to the game because if you did you would be lieing to ureself.
On another note the maps seem to have more texture and they feel so diverse. Idk if thats the word im looking for. It feel like all play styles can be done on each map. They got the long sight lines then they got the small ally ways,under tunnels for the smgs,shotguns. They really did a good job and im looking forward to the best COD ever possibly out do COD4.V Balance wise Black Ops was very close but it had problems with the game that IW observed and fixed.

Looks like it will be fun. Pretty much the same game weve been playing for half a decade with slight changes but the formula works and im looking forward to it.
As long as it isn't anything like that trainwreck mw2 of course.
I learned that Specialist unlocks at Level 20, not Level 80 like previously rumored.
I am thinking that is a just private matches they had it set up like that. What would be the point since you wouldn't have all the perks unlocked by level 20.
Is there a video of this livestream anywhere? I have been moving the past few days so I missed it.
no 3d support, they let me down
Anyone know where I can see a posted up version of the stream.

Scroll down a bit, there was a twitch-tv one, but I lost the link.
That they really dont want to answer any questions about the moab..... Why not? it would save so much trouble to just say its in private match only or if it is in public matches we could have shown our disaprovall before the game came out maybe allowing them to take it out before the game goes live...
From what I understand it will be available as part of the Specialist strike package. 25 kills. Not points. Takes out the entire team and sends out an emp to wipe out the enemy electronics. If you allow someone to earn that on the other team then you pretty much deserve what you get.
1 Word BOOSTERS.
In game report feature combined with theatre mode and bans. Booster or not you just have to keep an eye on the scoreboard. You see a guy that is 7-0 and a guy who is 0-7 then it shouldn't be hard to find them in a team game. FFA will be a little tougher but no harrier, AC=130/Chopper Gunner to get tthem those other 10 kills really quick.
I stick to my first post. If you allow someone in game in FFA or a team game to get 25 uninterupted kills you deserve it. Not saying you personally btw. Goes for me and everyone else too. I was never on the receiving end of a nuke in MW2. And before all you smartie pants get creative.... I don't dashboard and I will screenshot my emblems when I get home this weekend to show proof.
And I play with a group of people 90%+ of the time.
My thoughts? Looks like MW 2 and a 1/2...............not MW3.
When are they going to fix this damn website?
That juggernauts can be taken out with a predator missile ![]()
