You sure about that? After playing it and reading several different sources I've come to the conclusion it's fixed at 60fps but dips to 30 during several parts of the game.

My buddies and I also enjoyed Spec Ops. I know a lot of people griped about it as boring and pointless, but I thought it was a blast having your friend sitting next to you wreaking some objective based splitscreen havoc…even against witless AI.

Splitscreen coop campaign has unfortunately gone the way of the dodo. There is something about sharing the SP portion of a game that can make a mediocre story more tolerable. I know that people would argue that SP should be SP, but we are talking about a squad/partner based FPS here. Just double the enemy AI. I would rather have my drunken brother defending me than some dumb@$$ ally who runs in front of my crosshairs, gets hit in the face by an RPG, gets back up and then plants himself in my cover zone. At least then the ensuing sh!t talk would fall on obliterated brain cells and not on impervious pixels.

well it sounds to me like cod definately needs to just make the jump to strictly multiplayer, I'll bet 90 % of cod players only play for the online so with that in mind, it really doesn't matter. It may make me think a bit more about actually playing another cod game. As much as I hate to say it, i think the campaign drags down the online. They just made cod capable of running on 60 FPS unwaivering. you know what would make that even better, extra disc space which would be even more crucial on a 360. This would really make sense IMO.

What doesn't make sense is trying to give single player a multiplayer feel. What the hell sense does that make? Just get rid of all the indecisiveness and be done with it already. Cod would benefit from it. Follow in the footstepts of Wow, hey wouldn't it be great if cod became another MMO FPS? Well maybe not to some, but i think thats a cool idea. Anyway, it needs to happen this way for cod to continue to grow its fanbase. Sure 10% at most might not buy it without SP, but you'll gain another 40% just for creating a more focused, robust, and varied multiplayer

They could definitely jam a helluva lot more content and capability into an online-only version. It's pure genius. Though I do somewhat enjoy the SP but I've been taken more by the online since updating to a connection that didn't leave me with a full second disadvantage (1000ms ping basically like playing through a wire that wraps around the world twice before reaching the host (or server)).

The only issue with making it online MP only and charging a monthly fee is the majority of the people that play CoD would refuse to pony up $10-15 a month to play. A good chunk of people I know that play CoD that I attempt to explain the fee for DCU Online the only reaction I get is "you mean you pay monthly for a game you already bought?"

They just don't get the server maintenance, new content regularly along with constant patches implementing bug fixes tweaks and enhancements. It still comes down to, "but you pay for it every month?"

Thats obviously just most of the gamers I know in my area that play shooters primarily. Although if the ratio is similar world or nation wide it wouldn't work out very well for Activision

Just leave it be people, cause from what I hear this game has already (Allegedly) gotten more pre-orders in 3 days then Black-Ops got in a entire week so it seems to me that the majority doesn't seem to care in the least bit. As far as I can tell Activision is making the game based solely around it's strong point which is the multi-player & the majority seems to play the online most of the time anyway so does it matter.

I'm really tired of hearing people complain about this game.

There is no point in complaining about it anymore just don't play it when it comes out.

and this goes for Guyvers original post as well, although youre right he is complaining, his complaints were valid. and with every game there is going to be hate...especially generic shooters like CoD on this site where most posters are more diverse in there preferences.

I agree with Guyver on this one. It's one thing to not like CoD..but to spew hate about it constantly is rather pointless. We all know it's not the best FPS out there. At the same time Activision hasn't came out and said that it was.

You either like it our you don't. I loved the first Modern Warfare..and the series has gotten repetitive. I said I wasn't buying CoD simply to play with friends this go around unless I see vast improvement..

My post is in reply to Guyver:

I agree completely. I know I'm in the minority around these parts, but I've been a Call of Duty fan since Call of Duty 2 back in 2005. I admit the series have gone stale, but I'm a sucker for good trailers, and Activision sucked me back in once again. I was fully expecting to pass on this years version in favor of Battlefield 3, but I might be pre-ordering both at this point.

I'm also in the minority with CoD players that I actually enjoy the campaign mode slightly more than the online. I mean, compared to other shooting games, the campaign/story has plenty of "holy sh*t!" moments that I LOVE. Even comparing the campaigns to more recent shooting titles for the PS3, Socom 4 and Killzone 3, I believe that the Call of Duty stories sucked me in alot more than those two. Socom 4's story was non-existant, and Killzone 3's while better, didn't have enough "umph" for my liking.

I usually refrain from posting anything positive about Call of Duty because I know the negative stigma that goes along with being a "mediocre shooter" fan around these parts. But the announcement trailer that debuted the other night really impressed me. But alas, any and all Call of Duty articles that are posted here will be filled with more hate-filled rants than positive ones.

I'm with LV on this one. He's right. It is a glitchy franchise with a short multiplayer and unreliable party play. They don't improve it the way they should, and why should they?

I'm with him... it's frustrating that the best selling game, in fact best selling multimedia, in history does not take the time, effort, and monetary investment to make it the best game worthy of those sales. And that won't change until people learn about other BETTER titles.

I mean... on 360, Gears and Halo are WAY better multiplayer games. On PS3, Uncharted 2, Killzone 3 (and 2!), Bulletstorm, MAG, and more are better multiplayer games on PS3. Lordy knows PC has many better multiplayer games.

It's a bit of a phenominon, and his points are valid. And he's right... NO ONE has countered his first reply to Guyver. No one.

Personally, I'm frustrated with CoD too. But I'm not unfair. Go see my user reviews on MW2 and Black Ops to see for yourself. I still scored it well, and I acknowledge they are decent games. But my goodness... not to the extent it's been invested in by it's supporters!

I feel his frustration, and it isn't trolling.

Guess what?!?!? People aren't going to stop complaining about it's piss poor reliability, dumb AI, short Single player, and glitchy quickscoping multiplayer until... guess what... they FIX it.

There is NO way you can tell me they can't fix issues.

I mean, my friggin' goodness, MW2 STILL has the hide-in-a-rock glitch!!! Black Ops STILL favors players with a bad connection! It still has unreliable host designation... and it still struggles to keep parties together.

His complaints are legitimate. He isn't just saying it's stupid. He's calling out real life flaws that Activision refuses to fix. They release maps for $15 that have bugs, like that hide in a rock trick in MW2.

That's VERY poor service. You get a very shitty return for your investment. It's frustrating because it CAN be amazing. But it isn't.

LV is in the right, and I would LOVE to hear someone counter his original reply... legitimately.

To add, since after posting I saw Jimmy's,

I also agree with much of what Jimmy says. I liked MW and MW2's single player campaign. I also liked Black Ops single player too. And I definitely liked them better than multiplayer. But I like SP better than Multiplayer most of the time anyways.

I just don't like how short it is, and I hate the AI. I also don't like how the difference in difficulty is merely giving the AI perfect aim with a shotgun or uzi from 50 football fields away.

My biggest beef is with the multiplayer issues. Which is why I hate the big focus on a broken multiplayer along with the worry of making SP more multiplayer-ish.

@LV:

My favourite games include MGS, FF, GT5 and Tekken.

To be impressed with a game, the game must accomplish an incredibly high standard, graphics, gameplay and story must be excellent.

My first ever COD experience was MW1 (probably a good start), I was very impressed with the single player gameplay and graphics, the story wasn't amazing, but reminded me of Michael Bay's movies. This was great for me, because I really enjoy his films, especially 'The Rock' and Transformers.

I hadn't played online ever before, but decided to start with MW1. I don't think I've been so addicted to a game my entire life. I had to find the right set up and get first each match.

This experience lead me to play other online games like Warhawk, which is the only other game I enjoy online.

I don't know whether you've given MW a chance (not Treyarchs bullcrap). A friendly recommendation. Give MW2 another go (about 30 mins), I'm sure you'll be addicted.

I tend to agree with everything LV says here and this is no exception.

We, the members of this site, come here to discuss games. There are articles about specific games and we discuss those games in said articles.

He is complaining about obvious and glaring flaws in the CoD franchise. Why should anyone stifle their opinion because it is a negative one when people with positive opinions of the game stomp up and down the halls in praise of it?

Here are some facts: there are glitches throughout the multiplayer in CoD that haven't ever been addressed, the single-player campaign has been getting thinner and shorter each iteration, Activision overcharges for recycled maps that have clearly not gone through thorough testing because there are still glaring glitches, the games will sell like hot cakes.

If we as gamers in general just sit back and shut up about the flaws in these games they won't ever get fixed, and worse yet people will, just as yourselves Guyver and ArtofWar, will become complacent about them and worse yet, acceptant of them. That has clearly already happened, so I personally feel that it would be a disservice to the gaming industry to sit idly by and not voice our negative opinions about this franchise. The louder the dissenters are the more likely that these issues will be addressed or at the very least other people that have become complacent and acceptant will open their eyes and say "you know what, this is bad"

So no, people with something negative to say should not stop saying because you are growing tired of it, we should say it louder. Maybe soon you will look into what we are saying instead of complaining that we complain too much.

No doubt that the multiplayer is glitchy as hell. Its not an enjoyable experience for me. Having some idiot camp for the entire match until he cheaply strings together a killstreak and then things get exponentially unfair. Its just not that much fun. And its not because I "suck" or whatever else. I'd much rather prefer playing Halo Reach or Killzone 3 online any day of the week. Less glitches, less bugs, and in my opinion much more balanced gameplay.

But like I said, I tend to enjoy the single player campaigns of the CoD games. I find that they (usually) have an interesting story. Even if it gets confusing, they at least EXPLAIN why I'm trying to kill Fidel Castro, or who is planning on dropping nuclear weapons on America. There are other shooting games out there that shamelessly throw together single player missions with some crap "story" that ties it together (I'm looking at you, Socom 4).

CoD catches as much flak as it does simply because of its success. And I agree that the way the game sells you'd think Activision could take the time and money to update the engine and/or fix the glitches. However, if I go out and buy MW3 when it comes out later this year its because I think the good will outweigh the bad. No game is perfect, and its not me being "complacent" with mediocrity or glitches/bugs.

@anyone who complains

If you have so many problems with the game then don't play ignore it and move to the next FPS isn't there like 3 or 4 different ones coming out between now and later this year it it's as simple as that.

I'm just saying no point in giving yourself a Hernia over it. The developers obviously ain't listening and plus yall know yall still gonna play the damn thing and if you're not if you've made up you're mind that you're not gonna play this next installment then again I ask WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF COMPLAINING???

@coverton341
"If we as gamers in general just sit back and shut up about the flaws in these games they won't ever get fixed, and worse yet people will, just as yourselves Guyver and ArtofWar, will become complacent about them and worse yet, acceptant of them."

What the hell ever if a game sucks then it sucks I'm not finna waste my time with it, like I said before I'll just turn my attention to something that IS GOOD. You're dealing with Activision a company that is all about the money and if the game sold as much as it did despite all these so-called complaints then why the hell would they change if it's selling like it is, there would be no point if people keep buying it. There is no bigger statement that can be made then to SHUT UP and just not buy the next one (or any future installments), then you'll really be saying something because you'll be hitting them where it hurts the most.... THERE POCKETS... That's the only way a company like Activision is gonna hear you, cause they will definitely be forced to take a step back and rethink what they're doing and go back to the drawing board. Otherwise they're just gonna keep putting out the flawed/glitchy multi-player game.

Guyver is right again..

Just want to clarify I have no issue with anyone sharing an opinion. However, CoD tends to get brought to the forefront on this website almost everytime a article about a FPS is posted. Also it's the same complaints over and over.

The MP aspect of CoD has never surprised me. They all have bugs and stability issues. Some iterations with more bugs then the other. The point is despite these bugs you all (including myself) purchased the games. Despite the reason why, we still bought the game.

The SP were ok..and I agree with Underdog that the AI isn't up to par either. The MW story was good..I couldn't get into WaW..MW2 was good enough...BO..can't lie..was horrible..Even so we all still played it.

I don't think this community is the place for those to voice concerns or complaints about the franchise constantly. If it's that serious just e-mail Activision directly..or like Guyver said, don't buy the game..

Besides the lack of traditional RPGs the whole FPS on consoles craze has been the greatest downfall in terms of gaming quality for me this generation. Playing these mediocre shooters on consoles is like watching softcore porn instead of the hardcore.

i agree completely it seems with every shooter that comes out the single player gets even less attention, and this article shows it, it seems that theyre gonna use multiplayer elements in the single player, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of a sp campaign.

even with the quality shooters, like killzone nd resistance, it seems that multiplayer is taking over, with less attention to the single player story...it was abundantly clear in Killzone 3 (which i loved anyway) that the single player was, maybe not an after thought but it wasnt there main priority.

alot of time the games that go out of the box get shunned and ignored for being too "different" from the socially accepted norm which is rediculous in my eyes, because in all honesty some of my favorite shooters this generation were, haze, wet and fracture...all of which got lukewarm to cold scores, and the usual reason was that they were shooters but they were different and it always seems that the reviewer thinks poorly of them for that.

yes it is possible for out of the box shooters to get good score, i.e. killzone, resistance. but they often turn to theyre multiplayer to boost sales which often leaves the single campaign something to be desired

I take my chances and reply to a post of yours again LV :) cause this I agree 100% with. I *never* understood why fps of all genres, where the mouse really shines as a controller device, could become THE genre on consoles.

When I went from PC to ps3 as gaming platform I got surprised by the huge domination of first person view in general. I expected more 3rd person adventure and/or platform style games as well as RPGs and other slower paced games (I really did no resesarch before I got the ps3, I got it simply because of gtaiv).

Ah,mouse and keys may well be the most EFFECTIVE FPS control method but I, for one, now do my MP gaming almost exclusively on console with a controller for three main reasons:1, It's a more equal playing field on consoles as everyone has the same controller and the same tech.2, Mouse and keys isn't a great way to immerse yourself because it's TOO good at times and makes your average Joe avatar guy behave like a a superman aim wise and speedwise and aiming on a different plane is also off putting and,3, I grew tied of the "arms race" here I felt I had to upgrade every time I saw a better gaming mouse!

For me consoles just offer a much fairer test of skill whether mouse and keyboard is a more effective control method isn't up for debate(it IS) but is it plain "better"? Not for me.

Indeed I agree about the equal hardware, mastiffchild. I jumped off the bandwagon myself, when I got the ps3. Also it's nice with one platform being "it", all future games relates to the same hardware setup.

But it was *amazing* how much difference there is between a good and a cheap mouse. I used to play Unreal Tournament a lot earlier, and going from a regular mouse to a Logitech gaming mouse made me immediately climb several places on the result lists.

So Ben, out of curiosity...this article does not solidify if Modern Warfare 3 will NOT have a campaign mode, correct? It's just speculation?

I am positive that Modern Warfare 3 will have a campaign mode, because I remember reading somewhere that Infinity Ward, out of the 3 total developers working on the game, will be focusing on the campaign mode.

Anyway, I personally, think that taking out the campaign would be a good idea. While I do enjoy the campaign mode, this would mean the developers can focus on other things, such as the multiplayer, because let's face it...that's the real and main attraction of the Call of Duty series. With all this more time and effort they can use for the multiplayer, just think how close to perfection they can come.

Guess we'll all just have to wait and see at E3.

Call of Duty never really interested me in the first place. I dunno, maybe I'm just tired of this type of FPS, no matter how good it was put together. If what you say is true, just count this as the final nail in the coffin for this series for me. I'll have no interest in it at all.

Though on a similar subject, Battlefield 3 intrigues me. I still doubt I'll actually purchase it, but after watching that game play footage, I'll probably rent it at least.

I think it's just a way to hype the game.
SP is SP and MP is MP.
Multiplayer means multiple PLAYER or GAMER playing.
And I doubt that it's gonna have AIs so smart that they learn from you.
It'd takes years to do.

Or do they mean you go into one area and you start your deathmatch with the AIs, once you're done then you move into another area and start killing again and then rinse and repeat.

That's what killed even the tiny amount of enthusiasm I had for the game. Sowwy CoD, I hated the chance that I had to play of the Black Ops MP, and putting that sort of experience into the already uninteresting SP... GO AWAY!

If it means replacing NPC enemies with players... GO AWAY! If it means making constant spawn points, as is the entire point of MP... GO AWAY!

I'm sorry, the entire idea of this is painful to me. Maybe Raven will actually be able to develop a half-decent dedicated MP game, and allow the team of IW and Sledgehammer to implement their wannabe MP into the SP. Eh, I'm going to try to avoid any and all news articles on this game, but sometimes you just find something to p*ss ya right off!

COD can't be released as a subscription title, that's meaningless suggestions/speculations.
Like I've said in similar discussions before, there's not really anything to charge for, since both clients and game servers are run by the players.
The differences between COD and World Of Warcraft are so huge that you have to be one who don't play either to draw any comparison between the two.

Honestly a subscription based CoD likely wouldn't go too far. Not saying they wouldn't make money b/c the hardcore fans will buy immediately. But for the twitchers and others who just like to play Team Deathmatch 3 million times, I doubt they'd pay for the game and then pay to play..

I'd be fine with CoD going multi only but why couldn't they at least finish off the Modern Warfare series with a regular campaign? Yes, more people obsess over the MP than the SP but MW has been such a story-based series that to just drop the SP from the third and basically say, "s#!t happened and this is World War 3," well... that's just stupid. If a single-player campaign is missing, I'm buying ONLY Battlefield for my FPS needs this fall.

Give Brink a try..It isn't bad at all. Not saying it's great but it certainly is worth playing

Sounds like it's going to be all about multiplayer, and the campaign will probably be real short and iffy. COD games not worth the 60 bucks.

No one's talking about it because it DOES have a campaign. Just because the scenarios will feel more like a mp match doesn't mean there's no proper campaign. The trailer shows us that much. In fact, it sounds like the campaign might just be the best one yet.

Whether or not this mish-mash of devs can get the mp right, is another question.

If they start cutting out SP in these games, what footage will they use to make their award winning commercials out of that make everyone drool with excitement over?

I have a feeling they will be going the MMO route for online with this next installment. Players will probably pick a faction to side with. Maybe even for the single player, where it essentially never ends... hence the WW3 reference at the end of the reveal trailer.

Well, at least we all can say that its a natural progression for CoD to make single player more like its multiplayer. And indeed, that's probably what most of the fans would want, seeing as how maybe 1 out of every million gamers gets the game for the SP.

However, I'm still not getting the game. Just like all the other CoDs, it'll be a "rent for two days then return" game. There's absolutely no value in it, just like all the other ones (except for MW1 and WaW to an extent).

I still play CoD4 quite a bit.lol, but WaW had a pretty good story. I wish they would release a $5 cut scene to finish up MW3's story so i dont feel like I'm missing out... or wasting money

Then don't count on buying it. Because it won't be worth it. Not by looking at their track record.
What happen COD!? I loved your COD 4 and after that.. Why did you guys decide to stop improving your game? and in some cases get worse.

*off topic but FPS*

What in the world happened to Medal of Honor?? I used to be a huge fan it was always on my must buy list. The whole storyline appealed to me...WWII, Ernie Patterson, sabotaging the baddies etc. Then they dump the whole shebang and try to do a modern FPS that is a totally saturated market. <shaking head> I didn't even bother to rent.

I care about the single-player campaign. Heck, I may even care more about it than I do about the online multiplayer. MW2 online was such a disaster, it became virtually unplayable very quickly. Not to mention Special Ops, which was not very well received by fans.

They can remove the campaign if they want, it just means I can skip the game altogether. No biggie...

I never play Multiplayer. Too unstructured and chaotic. If a game is MP only, I won't buy it. Period.

Thanks Blur!
