Modern Warfare 3 udviklerne giver glitchere en uge til at 'bryde' spillet

Infinity Ward har inviteret medlemmer af MapMonkeys til deres HQ for at give dem en uge til at prøvespille MW3 med det formål at finde glitches & bugs at udnytte, selvfølgelig med det formål at fixe dem inden udgivelsen af spillet!

Call of Duty har altid været plaget at glitching, så det er dejligt, at de nu gør noget mere konstruktivt ved det og det ville være rigtig dejligt med mere af samme slags i spiludviklingsverden som helhed!

Du kan læse mere om initiativet her.

Activision har frigivet en ny 2 min. lang gameplay trailer fra Modern Warfare 3, denne gang hvor Spec Ops Survival bliver demonstreret med masser af action, perks og upgrades + forskellige modstandere, som f.eks. exploding dogs...

Du kan se traileren @ YouTube her, men sørg for at se den helt til ende!

Modern Warfare 3 'Spec Ops Survival' Trailer

Det har hidtil heddet sig, at Modern Warfare 3 bliver udviklet af Sledgehammer Games og Raven Software som begge er nye i CoD udviklingen, samt af resterne af Infinity Ward, da hovedparten af de oprindelige IW udviklere skred og dannede deres eget nye studie, Respawn Software, efter Activisions ledelse 'tilbageholdt' (læs: 'snød dem for') en ellers lovet kæmpe-bonus på $50 mio., efter hvad rygtet har villet vide...de to parter har sagsøgt hinanden for gigantbeløb, men det vil nok tage noget tid inden det bliver afgjort, og indtil da fortsætter udviklingen af MW3 jo, så godt det nu kan lade sig gøre, men MW3 bliver altså udviklet stort set af nye folk, som ikke har arbejdet på CoD før!

Det er så nu blevet 'afsløret', at udviklingsstudiet Treyarch som bl.a. har stået for Call of Duty 3 (blev kun lavet til konsollerne), Call of Duty: World at War og Black Ops faktisk også er med i udviklingen af MW3, de står for at porte det til Wii...personligt synes jeg ikke, at Treyarch har klaret sig særligt godt, med undtagelse af Multiplayeren af World at War og Zombie-mode har alt andet de har arbejdet på ikke ligefrem været hverken godt eller populært, og efter hele miseren hvor IW faldt fra hinanden har Treyarch været de mest rutinerede tilbageværende, men åbenbart har deres dårlige resultater gjort, at de 'kun' skal porte...

Det bliver 'spændende' at se om MW3 kan holde standarden fra sine forgængere, men det bliver nok svært omstændighederne taget i betragtning...

Activision er også tilstede ved GamesCom spilmessen og har nu bekræftet, at Modern Warfare 3 får dedicated servers!
Det er ikke svært at se hvorfor det er blevet besluttet at indføre det, for MW3 er ved at tabe magtkampen med BF3, så man må jo gøre noget for at gøre sit eget produkt mere populært, og forgængeren MW2's største handicap var manglen på dedicated servers!

Today at Gamescom Activision confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will have dedicated servers for the PC version. This is part of an effort to show PC gamers that Activision is serious about the platform.

De er bekymrede for, at det vil betyde mere cheating, da PC platformen er 'åben'...det tror jeg så desværre er ret svært at undgå under alle omstændigheder...

Activision har forøvrigt også bekendtgjort, at PC-udgaven af MW3 er on track til at udkomme samtidig med konsol-versionerne!

Du kan se hele den korte artikel her.

Ja, det ser ikke godt ud for dem...det siges også, at en havde startet en tråd i et MW forum med titlen WOW! som indeholdt en link til 'Caspian Border'-traileren med en kommentar om at det så ud til at blive bedre end MW3 og en anden svarede Yeah, but MW3 will run @ 60 FPS...........det er alt hvad der er af modargument fra CoD fanboys lige pt, hvilket meget godt illustrerer hvorfor der nu kommer dedikerede servere til MW3.

Jeg er så så priviligeret, at jeg kan li' begge titler/serier!

Et par skribenter på en gaming-side har prøvet at spille en CO-OP mission i MW3 som bomberyddere @ GamesCom og har lavet en lille artikel om det, og det lyder ret fedt!

As you might imagine, wearing a bomb suit is tough. It's hot, it's big, and it's really cumbersome. So when Alex was moving from bomb to bomb, he wasn't exactly moving at breakneck speed. Thankfully, my unusually heavy-clipped sniper rifle was more than happy to explode loads of enemies like so many cherry tomatoes. I'd call out his next objective and clear a path as he lumbered along, occasionally taking out foes on his own -- albeit in a limited capacity.

Jeg tror som MW3 bliver et rigtig godt spil, men jeg frygter, at det drukner i BF3 strømhvirvlen, BF3 bliver som et Sort Hul i FPS-delen af Gaming Universet, der opsuger alt andet...

Du kan se det i sin helhed her.

Call of Duty XP, en Call of Duty-dedikeret spilmesse som bliver afholdt i Los Angeles, er startet idag, og derfor vælder det frem med info om Modern Warfare 3 og Call of Duty Elite, CoDs nye sociale tool

Der er f.eks. idag blevet frigivet en længere Multiplayer trailer som demonstrerer nogle af de nye features vi vil se i MW3 MP!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Multiplayer World Premiere

---------------------------
MW3 MP Preview

ShackNews har også haft mulighed for at teste forskellige gamemodes ved CoD XP, bl.a den nye Kill Confirmed! Der er også info om div streaks, hvor det ikke længere bare er kill streaks men mere er fokuseret på teamwork!

Playing the game, I'm happy to note that my excitement was not without merit. It works remarkably well. Gaining streaks based on everything you do, and not just kills, gives players of all skill level more of a fighting chance.

We've already detailed how the streaks work, but to summarize: streaks are now separated into three packages. Assault favors those that hunt others, Support favors team-oriented players, Specialist favors those that like utilizing perks to get the job done.

Du kan se hele MW3 MP previewet her.

CoD Elite priser og features afsløret

Activision har ikke overraskende valgt at bruge CoD XP messen til at løfte sløret for det nye CoD Elite's features og pris.
CoD XP vil som udgangspunkt være gratis, men man kan betale sig til ekstra features, for den nette sum af $50 pr. år.

Basis udgaven vil indeholde:

Features like Facebook integration, stat and map tracking, group interaction, and clan support are included with Elite's free service on the Elite website, as well as on upcoming mobile applications for iOS and Android-based platforms. Modern Warfare 3 also includes Elite features, allowing players to look at their stats and heat maps in more detailed ways than are available in current iterations of the franchise.

For de $50 pr. år som Premium koster, får man:

* First, subscribers will get a year's worth of downloadable content for Modern Warfare 3. That is over 20 pieces of new content, he says, spooled out over monthly content drops. That content will include new maps, new game modes and more, with a total cost of over $60 if purchased separately.
* Call of Duty Elite subscribers will have access to daily and weekly competitions and events, which will offer both real and virtual prizes.
* Subscribers will be able to level up their clans in competition (though simply creating or joining a clan is still a free option).
* Subscribers will have "eight times" more video sharing capacity than standard users.
* Subscribers will have access to "expert strategy and analysis," including tips on guns, maps, and perks, which Hirshberg said would be updated and maintained by "real humans."
* And finally, subscribers will get to watch "Elite TV," a service of "premium episodic entertainment" themed around Call of Duty. None of that content is yet created, but Hirshberg suggested that two shows would begin the service: "Friday Night Fights," produced by Ridley and Tony Scott, which will pit real life rivals (like Democrats and Republicans or policemen and firefighters) against each other in Call of Duty matches; and "Noob Tube," a series produced by Will Arnett and Jason Bateman that will feature the stars "smack talking" over user-created videos from the game.

---------------------------
MW3 forudbestillingsbonus tilbud

Både Steam og Direct2Drive kører lige nu en forudbestillingsbonus tilbud på Modern Warfare 3, hvor man får det originale Modern Warfare 1 gratis med i købet, og i Steams tilfælde kan man forære det videre til en anden hvis man selv har det i forvejen.

Du finder de to sider her.

---------------------------
Modern Warfare 3 Hardened Edition

Det startede som rygter men er nu blevet bekræftet, at der vil komme en Hardened Edition af Modern Warfare 3, en Über udgave, som vil indeholde en masse ekstra! Den forventede pris vil være $80 og for alle de penge får man et års Premium medlemskab af CoD Elite, som ellers koster $50, men ellers:

[color=]The hottest of the bonuses is a one-year premium membership to the Call of Duty Elite social platform, which nets you a "Founder status" designation -- a rank which includes an exclusive in-game emblem, player card, and camouflage, as well as an XP boost for your Elite clan.

Other bonuses include a (literally hardened) steel case, new disc art, a PSN-exclusive theme and Xbox 360-exclusive "Special Ops Juggernaut" Avatar outfit and a 100-page "field journal," which contains sketches and notes from the frontline. We've contacted Activision to see if this edition is legit, and whether or not it's coming to America -- though we'd wager it'll be the same in both territories, as it has been in Call of Duties past.[/color]

To nye trailere, den ene en officiel en og den anden en fanmade en, som er overraskende god!

Iøvrigt er det blevet afsløret, at den Hardened Edition af MW3, som du kan læse mere om i den foregående post i tråden her, bliver prissat til $100 i USA...

Der er kommet to videoer som demonstrerer noget Spec Ops gameplay, og det ser som fedt ud:
