Modern Warfare 3 Co-op Takes Away From the Experience

Modern Warfare 3 Co-op Would Take Away From the Experience

When Modern Warfare 3 releases this fall it will have many new game modes. One of which, will not be campaign co-op. Robert Bowling recently went on the record to shoot down the rumors that campaign co-op was coming to the game this time around.

When Modern Warfare 3 releases this fall it will have many new game modes. One of which, will not be campaign co-op. Robert Bowling recently went on the record to shoot down the rumors that campaign co-op was coming to the game this time around. He told fans of the game that the cooperative play references that were made recently, were in direct relation to the Spec-Ops mode which was detailed recently.

Being that Modern Warfare 3's single player is being built to be a cinematic experience (see trailers), you can see how there is some hesitation in adding cooperative play into the mix. It's never been in the Modern Warfare franchise, but World at War (Treyarch) had a co-op mode that was pretty exceptional. It would be a nice bonus to have the option to play through the campaign with a few friends, but hey, it looks like Modern Warfare 3 is going to have a ton of content to keep you busy as it is.

Modern Warfare 3 will release this November and has been confirmed for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

One of the most fun campaigns I’ve ever played was Duke Nukem Co-op on N64. My best friend and I played the whole thing together and it was a blasty blast. I really with developers would start doing Co-op campaigns. Single player to me is very boring.

I think hes getting at that the setting of this game, is set for Single Player to capture the emotion for that player throwing a second one in there could cause issues like: if one character you plays as dies due to betrayal (MW2) then how would seond player die. I think thats what hes getting at. By the Duke Nukem is fun co-op, still have mine for the N64.

First of all, there is so many individuals who assume that BF3 is going to out rank MW3.
Let’s get this straight, graphics does not make a game fun. Have you notice the terrible gameplay of BFB2? Medal of Honor? Both were terrible in both modes!
MW1&2 has its problems but it were still fun all around. Yes, destruction would be nice, and less inmature plays would be fun too.
No matter what, i’m going to get MW3, but i prefer to see the gameplay on BF3 before buying it. From all of the terrible physics that Dice has made, i have no hope.

  Sorry but hell no.
  Me I loved Medal of Honor single player. The graphics, the sounds, the story.
  Simply amazing, very well done.
  Online Medal of Honor sucked.
  Bad company I hate the story line, BC2 was better. But online, Bad company 1 and 2 are simply awesome.
  It’s all about what you like. I wouldn’t want to see MW3 do more about co-op since they are more of a run and gun game. Something COD fans love.
  I like options, keep MW the same and keep my BF the same. I prefer BF but that’s not to say that I wouldn’t love to play some MW sometime for a different experience.

  Apart from that the hit delay that all dice games are plagued with is killing the bf games. Imo mw3 all the way.

Just got done playing a long stretch of BF2. I don’t like it at all. First where is the fast twitch controls? Even with sensitivity all the way up it still feels like Killzone. Huge maps = nothing but snipers and tanks. Much much gun on gun. Can’t lay down to avoid fire when u don’t know where the camper is exactly. BF and COD players are completely different. I like action and gun on gun. COD for life. This new engine from Dice better have quick twitch controls or in my book and many FPS fans it won’t beat MW3

Can anybody ask Bowling whether or not the Modern Warfare 3 campaign will be longer than the predecessors?
- Nietzche
  Campaign was set to be around 15 missions for MW3, its slightly less than the number in MW2.
- Josh
  Do you mean Battlefield 2, or Battlefield Bad Company 2? Because both are completely different games. Battlefield 2 was released on PC exclusively in 2005. Battlefield 3, is a sequel to this game, not Bad Company 2. Just wanted to let you know, before you started comparing two completely different games.
- dakan45
  nietze is wrong, missions doesnt define how long the game is, it could be just small segments that you do nothing.
  Sledgehamer said that it felt longer than mw2.
  I dont see whats the issue here, almost all fps nowdays are 5 hours or less/

Immature fans play FPS games on Xbox or ps3, while mature players play FPS games on the computer.

  You’re kidding right? The most immature players I have come across have been mostly on PC. I get the occasional brat screaming over Live but generally it’s not to bad. Whereas I have had an entire team full of 5 year old’s screaming at each other more than a few times on PC. I can’t speak for PS3 as I don’t use mine for much more than a movie player and the occasional exclusive but my mate plays it a lot and it sounds a little bit worse than Xbox. I have a full list of friends on Xbox who I have met and play with regularly on FPS that are mature (most over 25) and allow for very good, tactical gameplay, even in COD. I am 20 years old myself so we all get along and have fun playing. PS. Xbox has better community than PS3 and PC IMO, allows for good teamwork and you can get to know people a lot easier.

What kind of a scewed up person plays an FPS on console? It’s fucking stupid! Real gamers play games(especialy FPS games) on a fucking PC, It’s where the real experience is. Do yourself a favour and get yourself a gaming PC, thank me later.

  @ James Arrow
  I agree, yet disagree with you.
  My PS3 gives me more than my PC and for a lower price. I do love my PC, and FPS is way more accurate on PC than ANY console.
  That was until the Move came out. Now I wish every FPS was move compatible so I could use that awesome gun I have. Very accurate and it contends with the accuracy of a mouse/keyboard.
  So my opinion stays the same with the acception of if a FPS is move compatible, I will be getting it on PS3.
  PC – FPS and 360 supposed exclusives (360 supposed exclusives are also free online play the PC way)
  Wii- Retro gaming & family gaming, SDTV Netflix and internet browser.
  PS3 – Best exclusives IMO, best controls IMO, Best motion controls (not an opinion, fact, 1:1 accurate, hardcore games, sports games and family games), best online experience, best value, best blu ray and best sound.
  360 – Overheats (even slims), chance of scratching disks, supposed exclusives are on PC or going multi plat, controls suck IMO, motion control mis-reads commands & lags compared to others and it’s just not worth supporting the pay to play or supporting M$ for rushing their console and making the consumer suffer.
  you can play pretty much any game ever made on PC, Wii and PS3.
  Hell I even play Space Quest on PC, that’s a game from early 80′s.
  (1) Since Xbox is the only one that is pay to play, $60/year $300/5 years
  (2) Since Xbox games are on PC, better on PC and free online play
  (3) Since Xbox is the only streaming platform that makes you “pay” for the “right” to “purchase” a sub to netflix
  (4) Since Xbox made their consumer suffer just to be out first
  (5) Since Xbox is the only game platform without a browser
  (6) Since Xbox got rid of the their orig. xbox servers and forced their customers to upgrade to 360
  (7) Since Xbox made halo 2 for PC, vista only, forcing their customers to upgrade
  (8) Since Xbox made their wifi adapter and their HDD proprietary, expensive
  I say FU&k Xbox, don’t support them, there really is no reason to pay for a 360, there are like 4 total good games not available on PC. The reasons to not support them greatly out weigh the reasons to support them.

Great, another console war, sick of these as much as the COD vs BF debate. Everyone has their preference so can we move on please?

Lol, Real gamers play on PC.
Think about what you are saying. I play RTS games and the odd RPG like Kotor but i dont use my PC for every game. My PlayStation has always been my Core gaming Experience.
The best games on PC for me are the older One’s, HalfLife, Outcast, C&C. And i still have them, They are better than most Dribble made now on PC & Console.
You are 1 reason i dont play FPS on PC, I hate ppl moaning and what makes you think you are so special.
Most Real Gamers Play on Multiple Platforms and They Dont just Play COD. So STFU, Your balls havent even dropped.
