I have it and I play it more now than Black Ops. Not having played MW2 I have no frame of reference as to if it's better, worse or the same. I enjoy playing it and wish there were more BK players playing it too. My only complaint, and it's a biggie, is that you can't level up either your rank or your weapons on dedicated servers.
I have it and I really do enjoy it. Yes, they screwed up with the Lobby System AND Dedicated server options, since most people just play the Lobby system. BUT the more populated servers on the dedicated ones are all crouch only. The maps in MW3 are much smaller than BLOPS, and because so it gives a great game play experience when doing crouch servers. Forget regular run games, its just a shoot fest. Gets boring. Otherwise, for crouch I love it.
I was really disappointed when BK did not support MW3 as much as BF3 or BLOPS, now I don't even go in BK's teamspeak anymore, or really go into the BLOPS servers because I've been playing other clans crouch only servers on MW3. When BF3 came out everyone raved about it and the Clan seemed to back it a lot, then MW3 came out and there isn't any advertisement for the Polite and Friendly server on it. (if there even is one now.) Anyway, just my opinions. I hope to see a fully populated Polite and Friendly MW3 server one day :/
It's the way that Activisoin decided to run the servers that led to lack of enthusiasm here. Speaking for myself, I was on the fence about getting a copy of MW3.. until I read the confirmation that it would not have ranked dedicated servers, a-la Black Ops. If it did have real server implementation, I'd have purchased it in a second; i like the gameplay mechanics, and of course, i love crouch gameplay. But I loathe match-making for a number of reasons, and I cannot support the decision with my wallet.
But hey, I'm sure MW4 will be out in a year or so, so hopefully they'll grow a brain and give us ranked, dedicated servers once more.
I am pretty sure that this will be the norm for Infinity Ward from now on. They trully believe that we prefer match making over the complexity of having to search through a server browser.
I play it and I like it. I also never played MW2 so it's new to me. I still have no idea though how to find the dedicated servers but would love to play crouch if we had it.
I finaly got it downloaded after almost 3 weeks lol but played for the first time yesterday and the movement was so fast made me dizzy. i would love to see a crouch team death match option, maybe one day lol.
I have it and play it....I crouch or go prone 99% of he time, I get called everything in the book then some for my style of game play. I tell those kids "want to run go ahead, but be sure to check those corners and bushes."....................
Like it better than BC3 for the controls...example using the sights/scope you can toggle them, in BC3 they are hold. For me that is bad if I knew they were going to be hold I would of NEVER! bought the game.
You can toggle the sights. Go to Options, Gameplay, and change Aim from 'Hold' to 'Click'. I too, found the mouse movement in BF3 lame at first, but after tweaking the sensitivity and acceleration a bit, I found happy settings.
