Couldn’t see a thread about this - https://www.callofduty.com/modernwarfare3

Xbox Beta begins tonight at 18:00 UK time, I didn’t bother with Vanguard, but enjoyed Cold War (except for crashes and bugs).

MW3 has new maps and a new version of Zombies so I won’t be engaging with the wife and kids for a few months cool

What is the zombies part like?
Not on the beta, I think it looks amazing, but it’s not round-based so there are a few people grumbling, but I liked DMZ and also Outbreak in Cold War.

Yep, playing lots of MP and had a couple of games of Zombies, really enjoying it.

Completed the single campaign on hardcore and working through veteran, it’s a bit short but not as short as the YouTube pro’s are making out.

Pro players racing through it on normal difficulty and then complaining it’s too short confused

SBMM works fine for me, win some and get a harder lobby, lose some and get an easier lobby.

It’s always the sweats and the try-hards that whine about it, they don’t like it when they get put into a hard lobby, they want to slaughter noobs to massage their ego’s.

I managed to make a bit of progress on Zombies last night, got some missions completed and an exfil at the end.

Robotron70 is my Xbox Gamertag and Coin Slot on CoD if anybody wants to buddy up.

I didn’t bother with Vanguard, WW2 does nothing for me.

MW3 has great maps and plenty of them, CW had 6 at launch I think?

I’m liking the daily challenges, makes a break from the norm.

Zombies is great too, plenty to keep me busy during the winter months cool

I think originally it was planned to be sold as a DLC, so for £70 it’s not cheap, but for 6-12 months of gaming it’s ok value imo.

And yeah if you liked MW2 this is much the same.

I’m hooked, tried to get as much X2 XP over the weekend as possible.

Loving the map variety and also now playing most of the different modes, I used to only play TDM.

Also think I’m starting to understand the auto-aim assist, having the dot in the middle of the screen at all times and then ADS to get the gun to pull towards the target instead of trying to free-hand all the time and missing too many shots.

Working from home today, might get a few cheeky games in between jobs.
