A lash at IGN's MW3 article

First off, here's the article: 5 Reasons Modern Warfare 3 Won't Disappoint

Now, let's look at those 5 reasons carefully...

"Spec Ops is Back, Now with Survival Mode"
Oh goody, that mode that almost no one plays once they've beat it or ignore it since they want to play the Multiplayer, is back. Great...
But honestly, Spec Ops was, I guess, a fresh addition to the MW series, but it wasn't, what IGN "claimed", "ridiculously addictive." *coughActivisionpaidIGNtomakethisarticlecough* Spec Ops had you go on missions set on different pieces that were on the Campaign and from MW1. Was it fun? Slightly. Did I come back to it frequently? Hell no. Back then, I was an avid CoD player, so my focus was the MP. I guarantee you that more than 90-95% of CoD players played ONLY MP. Spec Ops was just...there. Left to rot. Survival Mode won't make a difference at all either. *blarghRipoffofGEARSOFWAR'SHORDEMODEblargh* excuse me....ahem....Sure it looks good, but I'm guaranteed it won't be another Zombie mode (another Horde rip off) Plus, I'm disgusted at what IGN said about exploding attack dogs. "Oh, and did we mention exploding attack dogs? There are exploding attack dogs! How freakin' awesome is that? "
FUCKING INHUMANE. I know dogs were used in the war in the past, but having them in a videogame? Come on now...Next thing you know, you'll have retarded 12 year olds strapping dry ice bombs to their dogs. FUCK YOU IGN. FUCK YOU ACTIVISION

"Kill Confirmed"
While it looks good on paper, I don't think it'll look good once it's played. Actually, it's a retarded mode if you look at it closely. Once people get the grasp of the game mode, as soon as they got enough kills/dogtags, they'll just camp it out the rest of the match. So pretty much, it's like TDM, but more camp heavy, I presume. This is also pretty much a rip off of one of Crysis 2's MP mechanics. Good job.

"Call of Duty Elite"
As soon as I heard details about this, my mind said, "Fuck CoD and fuck you Activision. You money-grubbing whores." Essentially, Elite is a stat tracker but if paid, it provides map packs (which isn't bad if you're a fan of CoD) and a "social" experience for CoD players everywhere. Now, I put social in quotations because really, CoD a social experience? You're gonna compete against little kids who scream at their mic for some prizes in that'll most likely be miniscule and have little effect on one's future. Videogames are MEANT to be enjoyed. Playing them like it's your job will more than likely NOT help you in the future. Plus, if you're REALLY gonna use this service annually and plan to get every year's CoD, you're shelling out over $100 for a recycled game. In my eyes, that's retarded. And if you plan to do that, you're a retard.

"The Refined Engine"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

no

WHAT is refined? I've looked at gameplay and it looks pretty much the same as MW2. Plus, do CoD players REALLY care about the graphics? HELL NO. All they care about is getting quad-sprays, that stupid wall-bang-noscope/quickscope-720 stupid bull shit, and a high streak. I'm pretty damn sure they won't even focus on the graphics when they play the game.

"The Story Will Conclude"
While I'm interested in MW3 purely for the story, playing it will just be like watching a Michael Bay film. Most of the time you'll be shooting and very little will you be involved with the plot.

Yet more reasons why I dislike CoD and now IGN. Like I mentioned earlier, this article most likely was paid to be written in order to woo over buyers since IGN is a big gaming news site. Will I buy MW3? NOPE. I currently have Gears of War 3 and Battlefield 3 to satisfy my MP needs. And with MGS HD and Skyrim just around the corner, I don't even want to waste my time playing Recycled Warfare 3.
