MW2 introduced the sticky launcher. black ops basically did the same thing. soo what is next? a sticky C4 on a AC-130 that when destroyed showers a rain of shapnel to the enemy?

After much anticipation, the first Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 trailer was finally released online a couple of hours ago. And you may be delighted to hear that the video was compromised of all in-game footage. Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling shared that news on his Twitter account a few moments ago.

Bowling also added that the game is locked at sixty frames-per-second and apparently the game “isn’t restricted from going beyond it (especially on PC).”

Look forward to more Modern Warfare 3 news over the next couple of weeks. E3 is likely to bring a bunch of reveals and footage.

I'm personally pretty excited for this, but when I ask others about it they seem to think it's going to be terrible. Generally because it isn't Infinity Ward.

Actually, most people I've met who said it was terrible was because it's kinda just more of the same.

And Activision.

call of duty elite???

Late last night details about Call of Duty Elite, a new “digital platform” for the famous first-person shooter franchise, began to surface and shed some light on Activision’s plans to further monetize it’s already super profitable series. This morning Activision has followed up with an official press release and video detailing the new service.

Basically, “Elite”, which is being developed by Activision’s new Beachhead studio and is planned to launch in time to compliment the upcoming Modern Warfare 3, is a paid service that the company says will “change the way we play multiplayer” by allowing you to form groups, compete online, share films of your games, study maps/weapons and more. A “Legend of Karl” overview video of the service can be viewed right here while this morning’s official, in-depth press release is listed below.

PRESS RELEASE

The world’s most passionate online gaming community can now connect, compete and improve their Call of Duty multiplayer experience through Activision’s innovative new online service, Call of Duty Elite.

Developed from the ground up by Activision’s new Beachhead studio, Call of Duty Elite offers cutting-edge features that significantly enhance the franchises’ multiplayer experience and deliver a new level of social engagement that will unite more than 30 million players worldwide. Additionally, the service will offer exclusive, high-production value, original entertainment programming designed exclusively for the Call of Duty community.

“The average Call of Duty player spends 58 minutes per day playing multiplayer. That is more than the average Facebook user spends per day on Facebook. And yet, right now, there are very few tools to unite and super charge that social community,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. “Whether it’s allowing you to connect with your friends, or people of a similar skill level, people who live in your city, people who share your favorite passions, join competitive clans or social groups, or upload, view and comment on the incredible mass of player-generated content, or watch and comment on exclusive created content, Call of Duty Elite will give people more ways to connect with fellow players than ever before. Elite will also allow players of every level to improve their game with an intuitive suite of tools, and compete in tournaments for both real and virtual prizes.”

Call of Duty Elite will include several industry-first innovations, and is designed to reset the bar for what players can expect from a multiplayer experience for this year’s most anticipated game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Elite will offer two-way communication between the service and the game, so that the choices and decisions that players make in Elite through the mobile and web interfaces will affect their in-game experience. The service will be fully integrated into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and will launch alongside the game on November 8, 2011.

Call of Duty Elite’s features and services engage the community in three key ways:

• Connect: Call of Duty Elite gives players unprecedented control over their multiplayer experience, transforming it into a true social network. Players can compete against friends, players of similar skill levels and players with similar interests, join groups, join clans, and play in organized tournaments. They can also track the performance, progress and activity of their entire network, both in the game itself, as well as through mobile and web interfaces. Elite will be an “always on” way for players to connect with the Call of Duty community.

• Compete: Call of Duty Elite establishes the most exciting, competitive environment in a multiplayer game. Players will have available a constant stream of events and competitions, tiered to group them with those with similar abilities. Both in-game and real-world prizes will be rewarded to all skill levels.

• Improve: Call of Duty Elite is like having a personal online coach. It provides players with a dynamic strategy guide that tracks their statistics and performances down to the most minute details. It can show gamers how they stack up against their friends or others in the community. Tools and information are provided so players can learn and up their game.

Carrying forward to future Call of Duty games, Elite will chronicle a player’s gameplay history in a cohesive career record, keeping track of every kill, every game and progress.

“Call of Duty Elite has been tailored for Call of Duty’s diverse base of players — hardcore gamers, casual weekend warriors and even beginners — and additional features will be revealed when we premiere Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer later this summer,” added Hirshberg. ”Over 7 million gamers play Call of Duty online each day logging hundreds of hours of multiplayer per player per year. Of course, the out of the box Call of Duty multiplayer experience that gamers have come to love and expect will continue as is. However, for those players looking for more, Call of Duty Elite will supercharge their experience.”

Many key features of Call of Duty Elite will be available to Call of Duty players free of charge. Additionally, for players who want to up their game, Call of Duty Elite will offer a premium membership with a wide range of state-of-the-art services, exclusive entertainment programming and all-inclusive game content for less than the cost of any comparable online entertainment service currently in the market.

The service will be accessible on a number of platforms — via web browsers, mobile devices, through game consoles and within the game interface itself — so that players can connect with Call of Duty Elite whenever and wherever they want.

Call of Duty Elite will launch this fall with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. However, to test the scale of the service, Activision will hold a public beta this summer for Elite with Call of Duty : Black Ops.

So, while pricing details are yet to be announced, does this sound like a service that you’d be interested in? Of course, we’ll keep you posted as we learn more.

Beats me what this is. Looks like they are trying to do a mmo with cod

CreepyPirate · **Posted:** June 1st, 2011, 3:46 am

Nothing like an MMO at all. It is exactly what they said it is.

It's stat tracking and heat maps. The exact stuff Halo does now - for free but they charge you a monthly fee for it. But it's alright cause anyone who buys DLC for that game is a **** mug anyway so they'll be delighted to know there $15 map packs are free if they sign up.

Course there not really free cause you'll be paying $8 a month for stat tracking ontop of Live fees. Enjoy morons.

I myself wont be subscribing because I couldn't give a rats *** about there stat tracking. I also believe they said IW.net would "change the way we play multiplayer" as well. My ***.

Evelyn · **Posted:** June 1st, 2011, 10:21 am

At this point anybody who gives money to Activision deserves to get cheated and ripped off.

Come on, a subscription fee for THE SAME FEATURES YOU'D GET IN STEAM OR XFIRE?

>.<

After being disappointed by CoD Black Ops, my expectations are low for MW3. I probably won't purchase it unless they can somehow prevent cheaters from shooting me through walls.

Ascensia · **Posted:** July 1st, 2011, 4:16 pm

I'm not too excited for MW3, but I am interested to see how the multiplayer experience turns out. It's been proven that stopping power will not be in this game, which is a good thing in my opinion. But I believe they are increasing weapon damage to make up for this, which will create faster gameplay than Black Ops, and surely eliminate the ability to escape you had in Black Ops, and return to the WTF-insta-death of MW2. I've also heard that claymores will be replenished by scavenger again this time around, which is incredibly stupid, you'd think they would learn from the mistakes they made in MW2, although I'm sure they won't mess up noob tubes as bad as they did. It would also be nice to see Infinity Ward support their game for once, instead of taking the money and running.

In a perfect world we will see a game that is a bit more fast-paced than black ops, has balanced or even underpowered explosives, and is supported by the developer.

One more thing: I really hope they have perks in the same tier as ghost that are actually worth taking over ghost. In black ops, since there was no stopping power to take over ghost, nothing else was really worth it. this resulted in nearly everyone using ghost, which slowed down games to a ridiculous extent. Ever had a TDM last the full 10 minutes? Ghost was to blame.

Do you want to tell me where you've heard this? Also, there are useful first tier perks in Black Ops, but no one ever wants to use them because Ghost leads to cheaper gameplay (Yes, I'm talking about Flak Jacket.) As for Stopping Power not being around, it wasn't in Black Ops and no one used it in MW2, so, it's not really anything to care about.

EDIT: Couple of SMGs have been announced to be returning (or coming back, for most of them), Namely the AK-74U, UMP and MP5...
