Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Yeah. The blops stock server control program is the worst one I've ever had to deal with. No high ping kick. Cant read the ingame chat. It borders on worthless. Adding insult to injury gameservers.com exclusive.

MW3 fanboys beware... Bf3 ftw!

Will MW3 have server files available to the public for download so we can play LANs?

Announced at Gamescom, #MW3/PC will support dedicated servers. Host them where you want, control settings & standard matchmaking like MW1.

Treyarch, for its part, supported dedicated PC servers in Call of Duty: Black Ops, but tried to reach a middle ground by going with an official server provider. The servers are customizable and reliable, but you don’t get complete freedom, and if you want to run one, you have to pay a fee. There were complaints.

Now, after listening to players, IW and Sledgehammer will try the first method again. Modern Warfare 3 will feature free, run-it-yourself COD4-style dedicated server support because the hardcore fans have been very clear (if not terribly polite) in their feedback. As the saying goes, give the people what they want. I’m happy to see it.

MW3 Killstreaks

There are 3 Seperate killstreak tiers, you have to choose which tier you want to choose you're 3 killstreaks from, but if you choose the last tier, you just get exactly what it says.

Assault Tier Killstreaks:

4 Kills – Care Package
5 Kills – IMS – 3 or 4 placeable landmines that cannot be stunned or flashed
5 Kills – Predator Missile
5 Kills – Sentry Gun
6 Kills – Precision Airstrike
7 Kills – Attack Helicopter
7 Kills – Little Bird Flock – Mini Helicopters which patrol the map
9 Kills – Little Bird Guard – Big Helicopter that follows you from above and protects you
9 Kills – Mortar team – Mortar team but with 5 predator missiles – all go off at the same time in different places
10 Kills – Talcon – Mini Tank Robot
12 Kills – AC130 (We cheer!)
12 Kills – Pavelow
15 Kills – Juggernaught Suit – From spec Ops ( For anyone who says in the spec ops video he gets it at 14 kills, well thats because he has hardline on)
15 Kills – Osprey Gunner Cps – You control a chopper gunner that also drops an emergency airdrop for your team mates.

Support Tier Killstreaks:

4 Kills – UAV
5 Kills – Counter UAV
5 Kills – Ballistic Duffel – Drop Juggernaught perk for the whole team, not jugg suit
5 Kills – Airdrop Trap – Drops a hacked care package
8 Kills – Sam Turret
10 Kills – Remote [Missile] UAV – Target enemies with missiles
12 Kills – Advanced UAV – Blackbird
12 Kills – Remote Turret – Sentry Gun that you can control
12 Kills – Stealth Bomber
18 Kills – EMP
18 Kills – Juggernaught Recon Armour – Care Package Drop Armour
18 Kills – Escort Airdrop – Same as the Osprey Gunner but you dont control the gunner or chopper and Drops 5 care packages, one will be hacked

Specialist Tier Killstreaks (you have the opportunity to choose the perk each time):

2 Kills – You get 1 extra perk
4 Kills – Get another perk
6 Kills – Get another perk

Another thing is that the killstreaks will cycle through in the same life, so you dont have to die to reset your killstreaks and get your first killstreak again.

Martyrdom – 4 Deaths
Final Stand – 4 Deaths
Revenge (Last person that killed you is always visible on your mini map) – 5 Deaths

MW3 Pointstreaks

Rather than standard killstreaks for objective based games, pointstreaks will be rewarded to players who play the objective (i.e. capturing flags, defusing bombs etc.) and get kills to encourage players to play the objective rather than just get kills in objective based game types. The streaks will be awarded based on points that the payer has received.

PC Mod tools have been discussed among the team here and its something we'd like to see for #MW3. No confirmation yet.

OOps! EA's Origin may be glorified Spyware, causes mass upset http://www.destructoid.com/ea-s-origin-may-be-glorified-spyware-causes-mass-upset-209745.phtml via @Dtoid @MW3

So. In the latest CGW podcast, they received retail boxed copies of BF 2142. When you open the box, a big slip of paper falls out first, preceeding any discs or manuals. The slip of paper says, essentially, that 2142 includes monitoring software which runs while your computer is online, and records "anonymous" information like your IP address, surfing habits (probably via cookie scans), and other "computing habits" in order to report this information back to ad companies and ad servers, which generates in-game ads.

This just came in from Valve: “The PC version of the product will be powered with Steamworks for both the digital and tangible versions of the game and, as with all Steamworks titles, offline play will also be supported along with Auto-Updating, Achievements, and more. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will also support dedicated servers on day 1.”

The video showed a list of 13 multiplayer maps for the game. The names of the maps are Carbon, Coast, Dome, Exchange, Hardhat, Interchange, Lambeth, Meteora, Mogadishu, Paris, Plaza, Radar and Seatown. It's possible a few more maps could appear in the retail release. Call of Duty: Black Ops, the last game in the series had 14 maps while Modern Warfare 2 had 16.

The leaked video also showed two game types for Modern Warfare 3. While in the Team Deathmatch mode, it shows has been in every other Call of Duty game, the new Bomb mode is completely new to the series. The video showed nothing about the mode besides its name, so we'll have to wait until the Call of Duty XP event to learn what players actually do in the game type.

One of the most interesting things in the video is the information that some matches will allow up to 32 players. In previous games, the most was 18 players.

Hopefully information shall prevail tomorrow on PB/VAC.
