Is it just me that thinks the hype has been very quiet this time around? I remember a big build up to MW2 and, Black-Ops to a certain extent, but if you weren't a COD fan you could easily have bypassed the fact that the game is being released tomorrow, whereas I don't think was the case previously.

That said, it might be a good thing. I can't wait to get my hands on this. It's just a shame I'll have to wait until Thursday as I'm flat out.

There's 99 people online on this forum atm, the night before its release. There's normally around 7 or 8 consistently on it. I think there's hype alright

thats cool just wondering

also the website Elite still seems to be beta, they'd want to get the finger out on getting it live, can't link to youtube and it doesn't seem to recognise yet that I've paid for elite already

Already?? I was going to head down for 11.45 with the intention of walking straight in, picking up the game and leaving. Queuing didn't even enter my mind!

Preorders top 6.5 million worldwide :eek: Crazy how big COD is atm.

Final pre order data is in for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which will shortly become the biggest videogame launch of all time.

VGChartz estimates around 6.5 million pre orders have been placed on Modern Warfare 3, up 1.5 million over last year's Black Ops, and 2.2 million over the last Modern Warfare. Predictably, America sees the largest share of pre orders, holding just over 60%. Also - unsurprisingly - the X360 SKU managed 60% of total pre orders, with the PS3 version at 35% and the last 5% split between Wii and PC SKUs (moreso the latter, however).

You'd think they would have got it in transit before today! What a pain getting rid of thousands of copies, when the game comes out less than 24 hours after the robbery. Someone didn't think that one through.

Professional Griefer

Ugh.

2 minutes to go, in bed at home. Should have gone down, don't have college till 2 tomorrow.

Woke up this morning sick and just have no energy. Regardless, getting one of my friends to get it for me tomorrow. Just gotta get through 2-6

First person on MW3 that I've seen now and all I can think is Bastard! :P

Just waiting for an eBay listing to pop up saying ''Buy it Now - 5,998 available''

How the feck are they gonna get rid of them :eek:

krudler

wheeeeeeee! :d here we go!

gamestop in Limerick was mobbed, was there at 11.20 and was 26th in line according to my ticket, they had a good system though, they let people pay for it before 12, then once 12 hit you had a ticket number and picked it up, meant queueing twice but I got i at just gone 12 so happy out.

Playing it now, kill confirmed is a great game - really enjoying it. Graphics same as MW2 really, played a few of the levels but havent a clue where Im going.... long night yet!

MarkY91

m4a1 with silencer and kick = B E A S T

mufcboy1999

What can I say I feel let down big time, the game is good but it's nothing to get carried away with at all!

Leaderboards and ranking system is a joke , maps are very meh and in general it's just an average game exact same as mw2.

Early days yet but black ops multiplayer is better hands down, simple things like being able to edit your clantag properly and check scores etc mw3 shows no real improvements from mw2.

Quick scoping is back, camping is bigger than ever before, aswell as the over the top killstreaks.

I taught they were going back to basics, infinty ward will never top cod4.

its funny watching people run into dead end rooms, look around and run out again, nobody knows their way around lol :pac:

playing the campaign for a while now, it looks pretty good.

gcgirl

Kill confirm is one of the best things, you get campers in any fps ESP launch day most people are getting you know maps and what not need to sleep now

Blazer

think I will get it...loved MW2 except for the dumbass no dedicated pc so will take a chance on it...Hated Blops and any Treyarch ****e they've pumped out so willing to give it a chance.
I'm a diehard Battlefield fan but I still enjoy playing COD as I can differentiate between the two games as being completely differerent FPS games etc...it can't be any worse than BLOPs..can it?

Vargulf

I'm going to cry now.

I am the same love both games tbh they give you great variety. I have to laugh at all the people who come on sayin Im so let down! WTF do people expect! We all knew it wouldn't be THAT GOOD. Scarecrow add me on steam if you wanna do some spec ops survival.

Kill confirmed prob the best part of the game on my first impression. Good mode

GEasy

Does it run as smoothly as mw2 ? How's the sound ?

rolexeagle1

SOund IMO is great, was just hiding in a container there are, and the echos/reverberation sounded awsome! 60FPS too....

Runs better, Sound is amazing

Is there anywhere you can adust the surround sound settings like in Blops? In Blops you could select different modes like stereo surround sound system gaming headset etc?

What does registering online give ya ? I just whacked my redeem code in and it gave me a little star emblem beside my tag I thought that was my founder status ?

Bonesy.

I reckon, imo, Survival Mode is the only thing that will keep people from trading it in soon after completing the campaign and playing the the mulitplayer (I have all other CoDs so if there was a good trade in deal for this I'd do it..multiplayer dosn't look much dfferent) just like Nazi Zombies did to me with BlOps, IMO.

rolexeagle1

Survival mode is awesome, the gun play is much better in MP then in MW2, a few campers but its launch day!! Havent touched campaign yet but i have only heard good things! Kick proficiency on P90 makes its a beast (overpowered slightly) UMP is a tank!!

The sounds from the guns when firing is savage!!

At the moment, i'm satisfied with the game!

Did anybody get double XP when they downloaded and ran the Elite App from the Xbox Live Markteplace?????
