With Battlefield not getting any love from me MW3 has my attention.

Key words: The devs wouldn't answer.

Rankings don't matter to me either, but you wouldn't even get XP if you're playing on dedicated servers if this is true. Having to play P2P to rank up and unlock weapons? That's just bullshit.

but once you rank up and get some guns, then who cares? I did the same thing in black ops. Ranked up then played unranked search and destroy

Fully expected that only rented servers would rank you up, and local dedicated servers would not allow it as way to easy to hack the local one to allow ranking up to max in 1 kill etc.

Was the same way with alot of games on the local dedicated servers.

I love the freedom to buy none of them, and get a bundle of indie games at the same price.

From the MW3 faq located at - community.callofduty.com/thread/4682

Will Modern Warfare 3 have Dedicated Servers?


Yes! Modern Warfare 3 supported matchmaking as well as Dedicated Servers, allowing players to find and filter via an in-game server browser or set-up their own Dedicated Server for complete control, without being restricted by any 3rd party hosting requirements. If looking for a Dedicated Server to join, if you choose not to set up your own, you can filter and favorite by Ping, Map, Gametype, Hardcore Variants, Voice, Password, and many other options.


Are Dedicated Servers Ranked or UnRanked?


Only matchmaking to public games are Ranked (meaning, you have to rank up to unlock weapons to rank on the leaderboards), choosing to play on a Dedicated Server is UnRanked. Meaning unlocks are completely controlled by the Server Admin. They can choose to unlock everything or limit class restrictions to whatever they like to fully customize the experience. You do not have to rank up in Public games to have access to weapons in Dedicated Servers, you have complete control over what is unlocked for you in a Unranked Dedicated Server.


This is perfect news for using MW3 at mini and large lans. No need for inet servers, play local and unlock everything. All players will have all the same perks, weapons etc. So the match comes down to pure skill. And we can turn off annoying perks or weapons etc as well!

For those that will be playing this that sounds like a pretty sweet compromise.

Also kinda sounds like matchmaking may not have many players, if matchmaking = grind and dedicated = server unlocks. But not a bad thing.
Still never buying it.

Personally like all of the games, I will be waiting until its out to decide if im going to get it. I don't know how you guys have decided to get it or not get it without seeing what the game will be like.

I actually expect this game to have a bit less life and players, due to the fact that you won't really be leveling up most of the time. With less rewards to look forward to, some players won't put in as much time. Beginners that see that servers are based on skill, and feel they have reached their skill cap, may not bother trying further.
We often don't like the grind, but somehow the grind keeps us involved.

But they sure are showing a lot of what is in the single-player mode. Story looks interesting.

Modern Warfare single player has always been great, even though most consider it to be short

Confirmed, no ranking up on dedicated servers. That really blows, since ranking up is always what keeps me coming back to CoD multiplayer. Ugh.

Can't wait to play with everyone at the LAN.

As for not ranking up on dedicated servers, I could care less. What keeps me coming back to COD is that its easy to play. With TF2 which I really do like and Battlefield if you run and gun on your own you are going to get the crap kicked out of you. But if you have a team of 4 or 5, work together and talk to each other, you will probably own the map and win. Great if your in one of those groups, sucks if your not.

They are two totally different games though. I have enjoyed the single player story in the COD cause they are short. I can get thru them in a couple of sittings and move on. I don't have time in my lifestyle to sit down with a Skyrim and invest 100 hours. Sure, the game might be awesome but i'm only going to play about 10 hours and that's it.

On the other side of this argument is will the launch be like BloPs? That game was hell when it came out. I made that short video, put it on YouTube and now it has 38k views. The lag was really bad at the beginning but it was fixed and now plays super smooth.

Hopefully this time they will support, Eyefinity/Surround so I don't have to run Widescreen Fixer with COD games, they probably won't just because you get a huge advantage but I can always hope.

What is the thought of doing a LanOC server again? Good idea? Bad idea? what is your thoughts?

I also would have major doubts about the release of this game. They've really put the PC version on the back burner. Might turn out to be awesome, but this won't be a midnight launch day purchase for me, if at all. Going to wait and see.

I will be doing a full performance review on release day. I just want to see how it runs compared to the BloPs launch.

Hopefully this will return to the good ol' days of COD4. Freaking love that game.

I hope they do a mission like "Death From Above" aka the C130 gunship mission. That was by far one of the best missions in all of the COD's. I would put the "All Ghillied Up" mission a close second.

Game dropped. HARD

No user controlled FPS
no com_max fps, no cg_draw fps. no lean. You're probably locked to 60 FPS. Shell of a former self. COD4, World at War were the last good COD games. I played Black Ops for a while, then got bored.
BF3, origin or not seems much better than MW3.
oh ya, looks like they also reused a COD4 BUILDING

Plays just like COD4, MW2.

Much better launch then BloPs.

FPS is locked at 91 just like all of the other COD games.

No lean is still there but I never used it anyway.

I played for about an hour today. To me it plays like COD4 and Black Ops. I wasn't having as much problem with not seeing people as I have had with Black Ops, but I think it was just the maps.

While the learning curve for figuring out how to configure and get running a dedicated server was HIGH, I think I have it down and I can start making scripts for each game mode, and consider what to use for the tournament.

If anyone has suggestions on rules etc I am all ears. Right now I know one round will be Dom, and all rounds will be hardcore mode. Past that I have not set in stone anything turned off, on, etc.

Last night Arxon, Wingless, Myself and then later Wooderson were playing and I thought the new maps were pretty fun. I think by default on most monitors you are going to want to increase the in-game brightness. at least it seemed the same to me on both Xbox and pc that by default it was a bit dark and hard to see the guys. Also I have played the Campaign a bit on 360 and its awesome. I cant wait to jump in with someone and do some of the Spec-op co-op missions.
