HSMagnet Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 http://ie.pc.ign.com/articles/118/1188343p1.html One concern Activision has with the PC version, though, is the fact that it is an open platform and cheating will be easier than it will be on the consoles. riiiiight With Call of Duty Elite, the upcoming social network for the shooter series, Activision will be giving away many, many prizes in official contests. If you don't win something, then you'll know someone who has, Activision says. The company has budgeted millions and millions of dollars for real-world prizes to be given away. they forgot to mention the "elite" stuff is for consoles only 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. except all the money and attention goes to the consoles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTaz Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 http://twitter.com/#!/fourzerotwo/status/103858062640693248 Yes! Modern Warfare 3 on PC will support dedicated servers, day 1. You can fav or admin your own to control setup, rules, bans. #MW3 #PC http://twitter.com/#!/fourzerotwo/status/99220292601253888 There has been a lot of anti-cheat work done, from a security stand point in addition to reactive AC.

The blops stock server control program is the worst one I've ever had to deal with. No high ping kick. Cant read the ingame chat. It borders on worthless. Adding insult to injury gameservers.com exclusive. MW3 fanboys beware... Bf3 ftw! butt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaydaX Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Just announced at Gamescom, Modern Warfare 3 on PC will support dedicated servers. Host them where you want, control settings and standard matchmaking, just like MW1. Follow @fourzerotwo on Twitter for updates/info http://www.facebook.com/MW3/posts/250343448329936 That facebook account is linked from the official callofduty.com website. Seems to be legit. Guess Activision has seen the light. Hope they keep their word. Now if they can do what tripwire did and add PB + VAC then we may have something.

SuperTaz Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Will MW3 have server files available to the public for download so we can play LANs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaydaX Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Will MW3 have server files available to the public for download so we can play LANs? Well if they have internet yes. Not sure if they will have a true LAN option that doesn't require the internet. After all the RSP crap from EA and Black Ops, I'm just happy to see a major game returning to it's roots for this.

SuperTaz Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Looks like you were right, MaydaX. Public server files will be available for everyone from what I am reading from this twitter post: https://twitter.com/#!/CallofDuty/status/103990015993982976 Announced at Gamescom, #MW3/PC will support dedicated servers. Host them where you want, control settings & standard matchmaking like MW1. :woot: Now, all we need is Punkbuster and the game would be awesome!!!

Kolor Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I've been adamant that I will not be buying MW3, but this may just be a turning point. +1 for needed PB support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaydaX Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 CoD4 is one of the best games we support (PB wise). Full PB integration, demos and access to server files. I hope they add PB again honestly because I'm sick of the new games with no server files of any kind with bullsh*t reasons and games that don't even integrate PB correctly at all. /end rant :P Public server files alone won't make MW3 PC a hit but it's one step in making other devs realize they are running out of excuses with one of the biggest games reversing it's server policy from only one provider to letting anyone host.

SuperTaz Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 It seems someone leaked the perks and classes from MW3: http://gamersnewz.com/gaming-news/modern-warfare-3-killstreaks-perks-leaked/ Leaks are sometimes minuscule and sometimes devastating, this leak is just below devestating, all the Killstreaks and Perks that will be featured in Modern Warfare 3 have been leaked that could give us further insight into the game and how it will play. Assault Killstreaks 4 Kills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaydaX Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Forgot to post this one Treyarch, for its part, supported dedicated PC servers in Call of Duty: Black Ops, but tried to reach a middle ground by going with an official server provider. The servers are customizable and reliable, but you don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTaz Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Now there is newer information from another site. The Deathstreaks and Pointstreaks have been added: http://www.mw3info.com/mw3-leaked-perks-and-killstreaks/ MW3 Killstreaks There are 3 Seperate killstreak tiers, you have to choose which tier you want to choose you're 3 killstreaks from, but if you choose the last tier, you just get exactly what it says.

Support Tier Killstreaks: 4 Kills – UAV 5 Kills – Counter UAV 5 Kills – Ballistic Duffel – Drop Juggernaught perk for the whole team, not jugg suit 5 Kills – Airdrop Trap – Drops a hacked care package 8 Kills – Sam Turret 10 Kills – Remote [Missile] UAV – Target enemies with missiles 12 Kills – Advanced UAV – Blackbird 12 Kills – Remote Turret – Sentry Gun that you can control 12 Kills – Stealth Bomber 18 Kills – EMP 18 Kills – Juggernaught Recon Armour – Care Package Drop Armour 18 Kills – Escort Airdrop – Same as the Osprey Gunner but you dont control the gunner or chopper and Drops 5 care packages, one will be hacked Specialist Tier Killstreaks (you have the opportunity to choose the perk each time): 2 Kills – You get 1 extra perk 4 Kills – Get another perk 6 Kills – Get another perk Another thing is that the killstreaks will cycle through in the same life, so you dont have to die to reset your killstreaks and get your first killstreak again. MW3 DeathStreaks Juiced [Lightweight] – 4 Deaths Martyrdom – 4 Deaths Final Stand – 4 Deaths Revenge (Last person that killed you is always visible on your mini map) – 5 Deaths Stopping power for one kill – 5 Deaths Dead Mans Hand (You run around with c4 in your hand (suicide bomber)) – 6 Deaths MW3 Perks '+' = With pro added Tier 1 Extreme Conditioning – Sprint longer distances + Climb obstacles faster Sleight Of Hand – Reload faster + Faster weapon swapping Scavanger – Reload ammo from bags + Spawn with more ammo Blind Eye – Undetectable from air support + Faster launcher lock on and extra damage to air support Recon – Explosive damage marks target on HUD + Bullet damage marks target on HUD Tier 2 Hardline – One less kill for Killstreak + Two assists count as a kill towards next killstreak (Like) Assassin – Immune to UAV, Motion Sensor, Thermal and Heartbeat Sensor + Immune to CUAV & EMP Overkill – Two primary weapons + Second primary can have 2 attachments Quickdraw – Faster aim down sights + Faster animation of using equipment and throwing grenade Blastshield – Flack Jacket (Immune to most explosives) + Immune to stuns and flashes Tier 3 Sitrep – Enemy equipment is visible + Enemy footsteps are more clear Dead Silence – Your footsteps are silent + No fall damage Stalker – Faster movement with ADS + Delay on claymores Marksman – ID target from range + Longer hold breath on scoped weapons Steady Aim – Increased hip fire accuracy + Faster aim down sight while sprinting MW3 Pointstreaks Rather than standard killstreaks for objective based games, pointstreaks will be rewarded to players who play the objective (i.e. capturing flags, defusing bombs etc.) and get kills to encourage players to play the objective rather than just get kills in objective based game types. The streaks will be awarded based on points that the payer has received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTaz Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 MW3 developers are bashing EA's Origin: http://twitter.com/#!/GlenSchofield/status/106409629864558592 OOps! EA's Origin may be glorified Spyware, causes mass upset http://www.destructoid.com/ea-s-origin-may-be-glorified-spyware-causes-mass-upset-209745.phtml via @Dtoid @MW3 But, don't forget about the retail copy of BF2142. That contained adware also: http://kotaku.com/207955/battlefield-2142-with-a-dash-of-spyware So. In the latest CGW podcast, they received retail boxed copies of BF 2142. When you open the box, a big slip of paper falls out first, preceeding any discs or manuals. The slip of paper says, essentially, that 2142 includes monitoring software which runs while your computer is online, and records "anonymous" information like your IP address, surfing habits (probably via cookie scans), and other "computing habits" in order to report this information back to ad companies and ad servers, which generates in-game ads.

MaydaX Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 This just came in from Valve: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaydaX Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 The video showed a list of 13 multiplayer maps for the game. The names of the maps are Carbon, Coast, Dome, Exchange, Hardhat, Interchange, Lambeth, Meteora, Mogadishu, Paris, Plaza, Radar and Seatown. It's possible a few more maps could appear in the retail release. Call of Duty: Black Ops, the last game in the series had 14 maps while Modern Warfare 2 had 16. The leaked video also showed two game types for Modern Warfare 3. While in the Team Deathmatch mode, it shows has been in every other Call of Duty game, the new Bomb mode is completely new to the series. The video showed nothing about the mode besides its name, so we'll have to wait until the Call of Duty XP event to learn what players actually do in the game type. One of the most interesting things in the video is the information that some matches will allow up to 32 players. In previous games, the most was 18 players. http://sfx-360.com/newsite/modern-warfare-3-multiplayer-modes-leaked-before-cod-xp/ 32 players on xbox so that's a good sign for PC. God I hated the 18 player limit in the last two cod games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
