MW3: Who will be Crowned King of Custom Matches?

From Call of Duty Community:
Written by Space Octupus

Anyone who plays Call of Duty, knows that Custom Matches are a big part of why we play, from proving your point in a 1 on 1 quick-scope battle, to laughing at your friends in Mike Myers. This year, Modern Warfare 3 will take the Custom Match experience to a new level, allowing some new and some fan favorite game types to come to the field. They are:

One in the Chamber

Infinity Ward is bringing back this fan favorite to satisfy the needs of those craving the wager match, although it is worth mentioning, that this time there is no prize. Just the knowledge that you are better than your comrades.

Gun Game

Again, another fan favorite and something I’ll be falling over myself to play when the game is released to see which guns I like to play with. Definitely something to look forward to.

Infected

An age old game mode that never ceases to amaze, this is by far the best way to find out the best hiding spots in the game and how to get there. An aside to this, is that this has been called several names over the years. Mike Myers is one of the names, and also Zombies was a name given to it.

Drop Zone

Almost like Headquarters, except that it’s call Drop Zone. Oh, and given that it is called that, Care Packages drop to the glee of the team in command of the zone. I have visions of horrific “death by box” kills in killcams on this one.

Team Juggernaut

Didn’t get a lot of information on this one, but as far as we can tell, it’s Team Death Match with a Juggernaut on your team. Pretty straight forward huh?

Juggernaut

Now, this also sounds like a “Pro” version of Mike Myers. 1 person is a Juggernaut, your job is to kill him, then you become the Juggernaut. Easy right?
If you rather watch someone explain these game modes to you, have a look and see what WoodysGamertag has to say about the game modes.

I can definitely see some awesome lads (or ladies) nights in where these game types are put the test. Personally, I think this will really make for a better game as far as Modern Warfare 3 is concerned as it will mean a longer shelf-life!
As you can see, Infinity Ward have taken on some fan favorites, and produced some fine sounding other game modes. It really shows that they have taken some time to make sure that the Custom Matches are as good as the online ones.

BF 3's Single player Campaign Longer than MW3 but Does it Matter?

Just in from GameZone.com and MW3 Daily:


It’s already known that Battlefield 3’s campaign is longer than Modern Warfare 2’s single player campaign.  But how does Modern Warfare 3 stack up against its predecessor?
According to Glen Schofield, one of the founders of Modern Warfare 3 co-developer Sledgehammer Games, the single player campaign for Modern Warfare 3 feels longer than the campaign for Modern Warfare 2.  That doesn’t mean it necessarily IS longer.  Schofield clarified that “the exact length depends on the player.”  Seeing as how Modern Warfare 2 was criticized for it’s short single player length, I’m not sure that’s a good way of answering the question.
What does that mean it feels longer?  Does that mean the story drags on? Schofield added that one of the goals with Modern Warfare 3 was for players to come away praising the story as well as the spectacle.  Personally, I’m all about the multiplayer, but I will admit Modern Warfare 2’s story was very intriguing.  I don’t care if Modern Warfare 3’s campaign is longer or shorter, just as long as its as entertaining and memorable. 
Schofield also shared one of his favorite parts of the single player campaign, a moment in Berlin where a building is collapsing around the player in real time, and then the player has to enter the downed structure while it’s still creaking and groaning.  That does sound pretty intense.

Modern Warfare 3 is a joke!

From COD Community and special thanks to them for posting this:

When a game / franchise / developer publisher and so on doesn't have any haters, you know something is wrong. When you do have haters, you just laugh at them and applaud them for the effort they put into the hating.

The same can be said about this video by bideovlogger. The video he made is a brilliant one, but instead of bashing Modern Warfare 3, he's just spreading the word about it. I really like what he did with the video.

The Making of MW3: US Navy Seals Play a Big Part

This is just too cool. Read Michael Condrey's Blog post on R & D with the U.S. Navy Seals:

"Several years ago, long before Sledgehammer Games started working on Modern Warfare 3, I was given the book The Warrior Elite:  The Forging of SEAL Class 228, by Dick Couch.   It was the first book, of many since, that I've read about the lore of the US Navy Seals.   The Warrior Elite was a wonderfully told, thought-provoking story about the qualification process and training of a Navy Seal.  Dick's telling of the trials of BUD/S training was superb, and I was moved by the sheer grit and force of will it takes to survive Hell Week and become one of the Navy's most elite fighters.   Recently, I finished reading Lone Survivor, by Marcus Luttrell.  Lone Survivor told a similar moving story of the trials of BUD/S and Hell Week before dropping me into a heroic survival tale of a Seal combat mission in Afghanistan gone terribly wrong.  Those two books and many others, as well as the countless news reports of Navy Seal Team Six's capture of Bin Laden, are testimonies to the Navy Seals as one of the greatest assets in the US Armed Forces."
