Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 - July Elite DLC out now, Terminal free for everyone

[quote name='SpaceInsomniac']It has been announced that, thankfully, there is no deadline. Even after MW3 has been out for six months, you should still be able to pick up a copy of an older COD title and earn an extra prestige token for MW3.[/QUOTE]Cool, Thanks.
 
feeling sick that amazon ran out of hardened editions.. i had convinced myself last week to use my amazon credit for it and now the thought of just getting the regular version got me with the sad face
 
^me too :whistle2:( didn't think it'll run out like that..instead I got it at best buy online and paid $15 more than I had to. Lets hope amazon restock soon so I can cancel my best buy order.
 
So in regards to the DLC talk a few posts back...

- Bowling has said numerous times that there has been no work done on DLC yet. He said that once the game is out is when they will begin to work on it (whether you believe that or not is up to you).

- DLC has been rumored to start in January, with Jan. 3 stated as the first date.

- They are slated to release 20 DLC pieces.

- It was originally a 9 month plan for content, but there has also been info thrown around that it would be weekly or bi-weekly.

- All DLC is available to 360 Elite members, then PS3 Elite members, followed by non-Elite 360 and lastly non-Elite PS3.

- It has been said that content would be bundled every so often for the non-Elite members. So I would expect every 4-8 weeks.

As for the maps being cut out, I would definitely agree that some of those maps will end up being DLC. It has happened since MW.

Here are some maps that were cut from MW and used later on:

Broadcast - used in the MW Map Pack and could be found in the files on the disc prior to patch 1.6
Facility - never was used under that name, but is almost identical to Fuel which was released in MW2.
Favela - cut from MW's Map Pack and used in MW2 instead
Invasion - cut from COD4 prior to launch (files of mini-map and load screen on disc) and then was supposed to be in the map pack... Later used in MW2
Also they cut night versions of District, Ambush, Overgrown, and Strike from MW.

MW2 didn't have any maps that were cut and then used as DLC, but they had about 8 maps that were cut out and half of them still had files on the disc. On PC you could play two of the maps by using different mod tools.

So I guess don't be surprised if some of the cut maps end up as DLC, but it isn't necessarily that they were cut just to be DLC, but rather to improve the maps so that they are playable.
 
Is there any reason to believe that there will be any good pre-order deals on MW3? Or are there any now? The amazon one is pretty lame. $10 off of $110 headset?

Actually, Amazon had a 20 dollar credit for Black Ops just before it was released.

With the Hardened Edition having all the DLC this time around, though, I'm not sure if they'll be doing that again with either edition of MW3.

Still, it greatly helps with pre-order numbers, so maybe. Battlefield 3 did it, after all.
 
[quote name='Dr.Zoidberg']Frack, I don't thnk my game will be shipped to me in time. I've even tried to bump up the shipping but no go.[/QUOTE]

You tried to change the shipping through Amazon?
 
[quote name='Mr Grand Cru']Is WalMart going to have the Harderned Edition ?[/QUOTE]

they have it on the website, I'd rather pick it up in store so I'm hoping we'll hear closer to release that they'll have some in store
 
Will the Elite subscription be paid with real $ or Live points? I'm hoping its points as I was able to score a lot of points on sale and it will be a lot cheaper than getting the hardened edition.
 
Does anyone else feel like the 2 hours of double xp isn't a good option for the prestiege points? I guess the best time to use it would be immediately on prestieging as that's when XP is harder to come by. I still don't see myself choosing this option. And honestly the best part of prestieging is trying weapons I may not have tried once I hit level 70 and different tactics. I was fine with just getting an extra class slot.

Seems like a waste of points if you ask me. You have to play for a lot of time to get two hours.

You can order it online, but their shipping is slow as hell. Not sure if they'll get it in store or not.

I'll get an extra slot or keep a favorite weapon or something.

[quote name='mvp828']Double XP isn't a great option, but turn it on during a double XP weekend and it is much more appealing.[/QUOTE]Somehow I get the feeling that it wouldn't go to 4xp that way but who knows. Would be nice.
 
LMG class has the ability to run faster? Hopefully that only works when you have your LMG out, it would be terrible if you can use the faster running while holding a knife or something light, unless your speed wont change no matter if you put your LMG in your hands, or away.

Bowling was asked a couple weeks back about it on Twitter and he confirmed that if you activated Double XP during a Double XP weekend it would be 4XP. His response was something along the lines of, "Whatever the playlist points are at the time it will be doubled. So 2XP becomes 4XP."

That's a good point, another care package marker bug? I can understand wanting to run faster as in MW2 having an LMG means your not moving very fast. This game can not arrive soon enough.
 
The gun proficiencies are specific to the weapon in question, not the class loadout. It's not an extra class perk.
 
[quote name='The Holy Pretzle']Apparently the Dorritos codes are outside the bag, a lot of people on the Gamefaqs boards have reported writing a bunch down and activating them.[/QUOTE]

So I can go to walmart and take pictures with my phone enough codes off family sized Doritos bags to get 24 hours of xp?
 
how could anyone be so stupid as to have redeemable codes on the outside of the packaging. I hate Doritos and mountain dew but I love mw. That's just too much work though. I can see some ebay auctions for a bunch of codes and hopefully they go for a dollar

take pics of codes on family size doritos at wallyworld and you rack up 1.5 hours per pic, you get to the 24 hour cap pretty quick

they get NEW weapons, perks, and MAPS?!?!

The exact wording: "Each time you enter a valid Double XP code into your account, you will also receive a Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 Combat Card featuring special content, such as new weapons, characters, maps, perks and strike packages."

It's says "a Combat Card featuring special content" not "a combat card that grants access to special content". You can breathe again, now.

uh...i kinda understood that when i posted. but how is it going to work? especially with maps.

i doubt they'll be exclusive( total bullshit)

but early access to higher level perks/weapons? still pretty bullshit

I still don't think you understand. It's a card, that features that particular item, meaning a card will have like a picture of it.

Like a baseball card. Just because I have a Roy Halladay baseball card doesn't mean I can use him in my softball games.

The wife bought three 12 packs of Mountain Dew today (I can't stand MD). Each had a code for 45 minutes of double XP time. So far, I have 2 hours and 15 minutes of double XP on day one. :D

Double XP was only announced for MW2 and Black Ops. They never said it would be for CoD4 or W@W.

RB said that for the 1st time ever, they were going to do Double XP across the board for all CoD games so that you can go back and prestige in every game to use that towards MW3 Unlocks.

How does that work, and what does it unlock? I got to 15th prestige in black ops, but other than that i never maxed out in previous COD games.

Also is the video recorded returning from black ops? I loved being able to do videos and put them on youtube. I was worried this feature might be hampered by those who dont have ELITE.

Sorry i really havent been paying attention to this game.
 
Yeah he did say that, but he never explicitly stated 4 or W@W and all subsequent mentions of double XP only mentioned MW2 and BO. I still need to prestige in W@W, so I'd like it to be happening. I'll get around to it if I ever am desperate for an extra preside token I guess.

Yes, theater mode is returning. And I believe an Elite membership let's you upload 2 minutes at a time IIRC.

iirc, everyone can upload videos, but Elite members get more "slots" or something, sort of similar to Bungie Pro for Halo Reach.
 
So apparently I am in love......

My GF brought me a bag of Mountain Dew double exp caps tonight. She even had a cheapass plan lol: she bought buy 2 save $1 coupons off Ebay and then buys um on her way to work from Speedway. 2 drinks = $1.50 with coupon and every 7th is free... I've got 34 codes to enter so should I marry her now? lol

Just thought i'd post this as I thought it was brillaint and I assume some of you guys are saving caps for double exp. ALSO Dorritos codes are on the back of the bags...not that I condone just flipping several packs around and taking a picture. :D
 
Don't get me wrong, if you're into buying stuff to shorten your leveling experience more power to you and it's your money, but I just don't get why someone would pay money to level up faster when the whole object is to level up anyway. I could understand if it's a grueling task leveling up but it's COD, leveling up has never been a huge chore. Regardless if it's $1 or $10 I don't see the draw, if anything you're reducing your enjoyment time with the game by shortening the level gaps. Unless people are trying to sell them on ebay then great idea cuz I know people pay for that shit.

If it was something like WoW that I used to play then I definitely see the draw because leveling was indeed a chore at some points but just my 2 cents.
 
Looks like a version of the nuke from MW2 might be back from MW3. This time it's called the MOAB.

http://forums.digitalwarfare247.com/index.php?/topic/43850-nuke-is-back/

Instead of instantly ending the game, it will kill the entire other team once and will also enable an EMP on them. Like the nuke, will require 25 kills to achieve it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTh0x7xYxOo&feature=player_embedded

As of now no confirmation if it's only for private matches or will also be included in public matches.

*edit*
More details on the MOAB

-It's a "secret" killstreak that will not appear when you are customizing your killstreaks. So bascially it's a 4th free killstreak.
-Will work no matter which class you use (assault, support, specialist)
-Will reset towards Support class' streak if you die. You must get 25 straight kills without dying.
-Only gun kills will count toward the streak. No word yet if grenades or melee will count.
-EMP will permanently knock out the other team's stuff for the rest of the match
-Will not kill yourself or your teammates when you use it.

So how does the MW3 XP codes work? I have about 6, and just bought six 12 packs... not sure how much time each code of a 12 pack is worth. I might end up giving the codes out, but not sure how to use them. Do you have to use them after you get the game? Does the double XP auto start right then and on? Any info would be great.
