That's not what he asked...

The only pre-order bonus I can recall off hand is Amazon. I believe they had some sort of Avatar outfit.
 
Yeah the preorder bonuses so far for Gamestop were the poster, entry into the CoD tournament that has the finals tomorrow, and entry to win a trip to CoD XP. I imagine the final bonus will be similar to Amazon's as I think everyone had an outfit last year.

Idk, its kind of late for a bonus

I think Amazon will be the only one for avatar gear
 
I guess some guy has played the game at the XP event already. He's been posting about it on twitter.

-Just found out you can restrict whatever you want in game. From guns to killstreaks. Just wet my pants.
-Taking the flag takes a second again even when dropped by a team mate.
-Each gun has its own perk. Machine pistols are back. Shotguns are fucking annoying.
-New gamemode you have to pick up dog tags once you've killed them to get the kills. You can deny by getting ur team mates if he dies.
-Only 5 maps playable at the moment and all quite small. Waiting for the keynote to start now. Can't take pics, security aren't nice lol.

Wonder what he means by "each has its own perk".

I can think of a few possibilities...

1) You unlock an advantage ("perk") after a certain amount of kills with the gun... like say, larger chamber or better scope.

2) There is a perk that you can choose as one of your 3 that gives your guns an ability ("perk") like above.

3) You can choose 1 weapon "perk" per loadout, and you could put it on your weapon of choice (main weapon, sidearm, grenade or knife).
 
Nice Foley, thanks for posting the vid.

Things I noticed:

- Looks like the rumored Perks/Killstreaks are confirmed
- Gametype "Kill Confirmed" (Dogtags)
- Equipment: Bouncing Betties, Portable Radar, Trophy System?
- Weapon Proficiencies: Kick, Focus, 2 Attachments
- Support Tier Killstreaks don't reset after dying. (!)
- Elite Advantage? "Optimal Bootleg CQB Class Pushed to Game", "XM25 Tactics Video Viewed", "Posted Game Mode to Elite. Highest Rated Mode Posted."
- XM25 Grenade Launcher Secondary. :(
 
That actually got me pretty excited! I'm not exactly sure what Strike Chains are, though.

As time goes on and the release date gets closer, I keep hoping that, in some way, quickscoping is addressed in this. Holding onto hope that there's something they can do to balance everything out. I hate quickscoping.
 
[quote name='Trakan']Eh, I don't know. I don't see that happening. How would it work? If I had to guess the COD Elite website will give you a unique code for the map pack when it releases. How else would they do it?[/QUOTE]

I mean, if everything is going to be tied to a gamertag or PSN name, it's not that hard.

You go into Elite with your XBL or PSN name, system recognizes you, lets you download the map packs that come out.

You stop paying, system recognizes that your XBL or PSN isn't associated with an Elite account anymore, locks you out from the map packs.

I believe that 'portal radar' thing actually shoots down enemy rockets (at the very least). Interesting.

The trailer wasn't very exciting/typical "movie" trailer. I am curious to see some solid gameplay, though.
 
I was not too impressed, I'm waiting to here more info. I think I'm still leaning more towards BF3. When I went to preorder Saints Row the Third @ Gamestop. Me and the girl working there were talking about BF and COD, she told me the preorder numbers for each(at said store) it was as follows :360: BF3= 55 :360: MW3=200+ . PS3 numbers were similar.

Without playing either one of these games, it still seems like MW3 will still dwarf BF 3 BIG TIME in sales. But, I think based on the videos so far BF 3 has the leg up.

i wasn't impressed either...this was hyped up as a reveal...and it was two multiplayer videos with a little bit of footage in between(one of which was released hours prior to the conferences), and tons of PR crap with jeep and activision ceo restating old news.

i want to hear more about the new game mode thats not confirmed kill, it was squad or defend something.
 
Modern Warfare 3 Limited Edition console announced!

maybe its just me, but it seems like all the primary automatic weapons are at the same killing pace. quickdraw seems like the obvious choice for slot 2, saw a gameplay vid where the user had blast shield with a scar, and was getting destroyed.

on another note, so...that leak was legit then?

Just saw this.

[quote name='CallofDutyElite']Yes, the DLC is your to keep even if your membership expires.[/QUOTE]

https://twitter.com/#!/CallOfDutyElite/status/109705881272336384

Also, Elite seems to be $50/year, making the Hardened Edition all the more worth it. It also says "monthly DLC" on the website. Also saw confirmation of keeping DLC after membership expires on the official website.

EDIT: Wow, the Hardened Edition is 100 bucks. I guess you still save money though.

EDIT: All Guns, Perks, etc. http://www.destructoid.com/all-the-weapons-perks-and-more-in-modern-warfare-3-210466.phtml

EDIT: Goddamn it. I just saw in a video, CTF works like Black Ops. 3 caps per round, first to 2 points wins.

I'll be getting the hardened edition as soon as it pops up on Amazon. I was pissed when they announced a "monthly fee" for Elite. After today's conference, and the inclusion of the $50 annual fee, I am more excited than ever for COD MW3 and Elite. You can bet I'll be a subscriber. Great conference.

On that note, I'm still picking up BF3 as well because all of my friends are moving from COD to BF3. I hope both games are amazing so I can look forward to some great gaming this Fall.

Color me surprised. Activision let one of its developers do something actually nice.
 
bovering betty AND claymores? -.-

DEAD MAN's HAND IS LEGIT? LOL

emp as a tactical grenade? what?

oh btw, the 3 perks instead of killstreaks option is legit, but when you get 8 kills, you GET EVERY SINGLE PERK AT ONCE
 
[quote name='yahoosale14']oh btw, the 3 perks instead of killstreaks option is legit, but when you get 8 kills, you GET EVERY SINGLE PERK AT ONCE[/QUOTE]

I don't see the appeal in this or how it will be broken. When I die to someone, the only thing I care about is him reaching his killstreak, which he won't be able to have. If he has all perks, he needs 8 kills, and still dies in the same amount of bullets that I do.

i think the sleight of hand, scavenger, undetectable by uav,etc, steady aim and dead silence is pretty big advantage imo if you have a fully automatic weapon.

have you seen anything about gametypes? i've yet to hear that demolition and/or sabotage are back because currently they aren't playable at XP.
 
I saw a video of the Riot Shield. He only gets one kill, but the guy died from one hit instead of two. I wonder if they buffed it.

Also, I hope a lot of the animations while running are placeholder. They're very generic and I think it has something to do with the way they changed how the sprinting animation looks. I could tell there was a bunch of placeholder stuff so it's a possibility.

Yeah, the running animations are pretty shit right now.

Also, riot shield could be very interesting with the perks and support killstreaks in this game, imagine getting the jugg suit with that thing.

Are shotguns primaries or secondaries?

i dont think its an actual suit, just gives you armor(extra hp basically)

shotguns are primaries =/
 
Wanted to get the Hardened Edition but the Amazon exclusive American Special Forces avatar is available only for the standard edition :bomb:
 
i'd like to point out that of the leaked multiplayer maps(20) 4 of them will be dropped from this list and probably be the first map pack :bomb: total bullshit


Multiplayer Maps

Alpha
Alps
Bootleg
Bravo
Brooklyn
Carbon
Coast
Dome
Exchange
Hardhat
Interchange
Lambeth
Meteora
Mogadishu
Paris
Plaza 2
Radar
Seatown
Underground
Village
 
Found this, sounds interesting.

Prestige Shop
Modern Warfare 3 goes one step further when it comes to rewarding you for hitting that prestige button when you reach the maximum level. When you prestige you get taken to the Prestige Shop when to choose what you want to be rewarded with for prestiging.
Full Prestige Reward list coming soon.
 
More stuff:

- The Ballistic Vest is like a care package, all teammates can go to where you throw it and pick it up.
- The IMS killstreak is like a claymore, but can go off 4 times.
- Juggernaut killstreak isn't a suit, it's an actual AI Juggernaut that runs around the map.
- Weapon Sway is back. You can use the "Breath" proficiency on guns other than Snipers now.
- Skorpion is a machine pistol secondary.
- No dual-wielding shotguns.
- It does look like you can assign certain killstreaks to certain classes!
- Map voting is like Black Ops, not just "Vote to skip."
- "Speed" proficiency for LMGs. "Melee" proficiency for SMGs.
- More camos than just the ones in the videos. Maxing out a gun gets Gold camo.
- Not positive, but the AC-130 might be more balanced now showing an overhead view of the map in color and not showing the enemies in bright white.
- Highest rated custom made private match gametypes will be available in public matches.
 
[quote name='Dr.Zoidberg']I see the hardened info is out. Any idea when the prestige package will be released?[/QUOTE]

they would've announced it. hardened or regular im guessing.

speculations on prestige shop? i cant think of anything other than custom classes, which are the only reasons i prestige anyway. BUT 80 levels, DAMN.
 
[quote name='ShadowSx']Actually it is a user controlled suit, skip to 2:20[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the info. The way they talked about it in the Gamespot video made it seem otherwise.
 
yeah this is new...i'm both excited and on the fence in the announcement and design direction of the MW3 themed console. the only major advantage I see with this design is, in the event you actually do scratch your console or get finger prints on it...no one will ever notice.

they gotta have the trademark infinityward power up sound for the power up button right?
 
I haven't seen it anywhere yet, but I was talking to a Gamestop manager and he told me that if you register your paid Elite membership during the first week, you'll get Founder Status that included extra camos and player cards and other stuff I can't remember. He said he got this info straight from Activision during the Gamestop manager's conference they had this week. They also got to play the multiplayer and spec ops Tuesday night.

I was ready to get whatever prestige edition came out at launch this year but it looks like hardened is all there is.
 
Uggh... I have the Gears of War 360 console ordered and the Star Wars console ordered. Now the CODMW3 console. Dang I sure dont need all 3 but....
 
Hmm... I bought a MW2 Xbox 360 at launch and was let down by that game so much that even though I like this console a lot I am going to pass.

sell the game and one of the controllers...problem solved.
 
Anyone running Blind Eye and Assassin will be undetectable by anyone or anything (assuming you have Pro versions of both). I can barely digest how much info is flowing out now and I have very high hopes for this one. The Perk system and how Killstreaks are done interests me a lot.

I've read that the Advanced UAV (Blackbird) shows them. I've seen it in action and it's much less powerful than the Blackbird too. It's not permanently on screen, it swipes by like the regular UAV.

I guess guns like the AK-74u and the AA-12 will just be in single player/Spec-Ops. That's kind of disappointing.
 
The AA-12 was a somewhat stupid addition to MP anyway (IMO), but the 74u probably should have made a return. Of course, I do like the addition of new guns that have never been added before, that is nice.

As far as the Blackbird, I would understand if that detected people with Blind Eye and Assassin but the fact is that in the vast majority of matches online, nobody will ever see you on a radar. Most people aren't good enough to get Blackbirds and I have a feeling 95% of people (the majority of which suck) will be complaining that Blind Eye and Assassin are OPed, just like they do Ghost right now.
