MW3: Open Letter to Infinity Ward Re: Modern Warfare 3

[Aussiefying]

I like this video, it outlines a lot of the major problems, but notice how it's been just over 3 months, none of these problems have been addressed and as the game gets older, people are noticing more and more issues with the game. Not trying to have a go or anything, but a lot of these NEED to be fixed, or more and more people are not going to continue buying the game.

[brandonjamestaylor1]

i agree bro, nice video

[Brosephski2]

I miss mail Monday:(

[ArtistiikGamerz]

could you also include to put gamers into a fresh match not a match that is about to end

[ArtistiikGamerz]

no i like trolling peope in the corner >:D but i like about the spawn

[dewey3007]

I realize this is an old video, but the reason player collision is such an issue is because the maps are so freaking small. I swear they get smaller each MW game. I think the majority of players' ideal map would be ground war on a racquetball court, but some of us like to play strategically from time to time rather than just pure fast twitch.

[TheExtantKiwi]

What about Lag Compensation, patches, knife melee lunge distance, better host selection, spawn system, overpowered weaponry and Support Package?

[MercCenturion]

@TheExtantKiwi modern warfare guns have always been laser beams and overpowered, its not going to change.

[MrRenard7785]

Yeah, being able to phase through teammates would also stop those pathetic cheaters on Infected games from having some asshole stand in front of them in a doorway or narrow passage so no one can reach the guy while he racks up kills.

[Xbox360ninjasmrts]

@MrRenard7785 same thing people stand in the door way and you have to go around but then u have 6 players behind you and cant back up

[MrRenard7785]

@Xbox360ninjasmrts Yep, I've had that problem too.

[w0rdthat]

more boobs.

[95metalstorm]

Can't jump over prone guys...

[pain9000000]

i would like to chose the maps to

[HappyWoWer]

isnt it sledgehammer games that do all the multiplayer stuff

[BlindguyTV]

I agree 100% iv'e always wanted to tell them the same thing but cant so im glad ur here to say something about that.

[darkfeather001]

I try to pay attention to what you say but you're constant ADD twitching in the game distracts me from the points you're trying to make! STOP IT PLEASE! I'm getting nauseous.

[AAAassassinator]

I completely agree with everything you just said. I even appreciate that you've directed it at Infinity Ward. Thankyou.

[Exploderator]

Signed on all points. Side note... What is that lateral screen shake you are doing? I've not seen it before today, and suddenly i see it in 3 unrelated videos from 3 different people. I have decided to call it waggling, and that it is a thumb exercise. If i am wrong, please correct me, and if I am right, please confirm.

[Caleb192837465]

@Exploderator its a glitch in theater mode lol dont think about it too hard

[conroy1251]

How the hell did he get the kill at 4:23?! All of Woody's bullets missed the guy!

[55W4RRI0R55]

@conroy1251 Theater Mode bro

[RAWoIVIERK]

@conroy1251 Its the lag in the theater mode. Thats also why it looks like he keeps shaking his screen back and forth, the theater mode has a few bugs in it.

[Lopez4848]

Yeah Black Ops!

[PootisPwner]

Player collision is a problem in BF3 too

[MrCoffinJerker]

@PootisPwner I agree, it does occur on BF3 also but not quite as bad luckily due to the map sizes. Though I have gotten stuck between walls and other players while being shot at which is no fun.

[superfame56]

i will like to see no prone blocks omg that pisses me off

[OriginalThrasher]

I like that Scoreboard idea, that is something that would be nice.

[peterboy940]

Instead of trying to make people shoot stuff down, make it stop. I HATE it when i work hard and get an attack helicopter then somebody shoots it down in 5 seconds. Make better non aircraft killstreaks or take shooting stuff down out of the game. If you take shooting stuff out of the game, then weaken the power of aircraft.

[BigRookGames]

100% agree on the scoreboard showing stats that actually determine the winner. Pretty much agree with all other points as well except no collision on teammates might take a little of the immersion away from the player. I DO agree that its bad the way it is though. I think either shrink the collision model's size or have sphere collision so it will slide around players instead of jigsaw everywhere, which is very annoying right now. Good vid

[TheBlueDragonGamer]

I cant agree more...

[cooper6197]

follow up to black ops nuff said

[demigod115]

infinity ward should make a game mode were you have no perks with a 3-5-7 killstreak and another game mode with no perks with custom killstreaks.

[Alittlegirled]

u shud be able to level up killstreaks

[killjoySOAP]

woody, please design mw4

[Starioshka]

mw3 did the multi wrong, its camperfare now even for me. You cant fuckin rush and do good.

[ImNookeG]

@Starioshka well then it is you because i rush and i do great

[KrazyKrippler]

Modern Fourfare?

[Mr16thPrestige]

i've always though the scoreboard should show what people do, one good reason for that is that i'm am a very agressive objective player, (i feel that anyone who only goes for kills in an objective game mode should be banned, that play style is fine, but only in TDM and FFA) i also feel that to encourage team- and objective play, they need to give more XP for objectives and, less for kills, in objective game modes of course. as maybe you only get half XP for an unconfirmed kill in kill confirmed!

[mikeytcarpenter91]

@Mr16thPrestige If no one is going for kills then you wouldn't have as much air support that helps you cap flags or plant bombs. In kill conformed I often don't run straight to tags from a player I just killed as usually another enemy is waiting for you and it gives away your position to the enemy team, picking up tags can be worse for your team if you get killed, because then they get your tags and deny the kill you were trying to get, I agree with the XP idea in dom and sabo.

[Mr16thPrestige]

@mikeytcarpenter91 i had so much more to say to fill in some holes that you responded to, but the 500 digits stopped me, so i only mentioned the bare essentials. here is more

current system: you get 10xp for a kill in TDM, in kill confirmed oyu get 10xp for kill, and 5xp for taking Dtag

the better way: in KC you get 8xp for a kill, and 7 for picking a Dtag from an enemy you killed, if a teamate picks it up, he get 5xp. this means to get all XP for the kill, u need to get the Dtag

[strawhativan]

i think they should fix the spawns

[whitmanX23]

People in the comments, stop bitching. If you don't like the CoD games, don't buy them. It's as simple as that, but you somehow still end up buying them. Buy it, if you don't like it, return it. Stop you're trolling.

[purpl3niinj4]

Buff grenades extreme conditioning and shotguns except the spas and regular pistols too

[BxzKick]

cod4 and mw2 best... rest are bullshit

[Pshay1292]

WHERE DID YOU GO WRONG.... LETS SEE.... CoD 4 IS ALL YOU NEEDED TO MAKE!! YOU GREEDY FUCKS! UPDATE THE GAME NOT MAKE NEW CODs EVERY DAMN YEAR! AND NOW PEOPLE WHO WANT DLC HAVE TO WAIT 3 MONTHS TO GET IT .. NOONE WANTS TO SPEND 50 BUCKS ON ELITE YOU MONEY SNATCHING FAGGOTS. YOU JUST MAKE A NEW GAME EVERY YEAR BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOUR GOING TO MAKE 400 MILLION THE FIRST DAY IT COMES OUT YOU BITCHES!

[slickgamer]

@Pshay1292 Well... They are infinity ward. A company that HAS to make money otherwise it will be disbanded = jobs lost. So, don't blame them for doing what pretty much every other company has to do mate ;)

[thanatho123]

i completely agree with everything you said. i also believe that the grenades need to be a little stronger, for the love of god i get way too many hitmarkers with semtex and frags alike

[silky19kilo]

I agree with you on the player collision. Can't stand it when a teammate is standing/prone in a doorway when im trying to get through. The main thing CoD needs to do is switch to dedicated servers. I play both BF3 and MWF3 and i have never felt i was cheated out of a kill or death while playing BF3. In MWF3 however, it happens way too often. I rarely get in a match where i have four bars even with my internet speed being 25+ Mbps down and 10+ Mbps up.

[cawvavino]

@silky19kilo I have 30Mbps down and 5Mbps up, so I should get a good connection too, my only downside is I live in Montana and when I'm playing with people from the east or west coast it always chooses them to host over me.

[animaniacs69]

I think they should bring back the grid for the map. How easy was it to tell your teammates the coordinates where people were respawning. Just a thought.

[thanatho123]

@animaniacs69 idk who you play with, but no one ever used the grid system when i played. takes away too much time figuring out where the grid is that you just said. stuff has to be split second decision making

[CaptainBattletoad]

I don't always agree with you, but every single thing you said is completely right here.

[wayner226]

100%% AGRE!!!!!

[Alexogo96]

I am quite sure that u just forgot this, but you diden't mention the fucking spawns -.-"

[adzerguy1]

the double y tap should be back

[sheiry1]

@adzerguy1 Why? What good does that do you?

[LegoTrooperDude]

just saying...if you want wide open maps try out BF3

[Jordan3985]

you can turn music off in settings...go to setting and then music volume and mute it :)

[XxThe9KilzxX]

HEADGLITCHING! PLEASE FIX HEADGLITCHING

[IreIndignition]

@XxThe9KilzxX Whats bad about it.

[XxThe9KilzxX]

<3. Just <3

[Hitlerwearsasnuggie]

Wow, I really enjoyed this and agreed with everything you said, especially player collision. I also think they should judge your score on the leader boards in slayer-type games by your k/d ratio, not your k/d. Example: This way, someone who went 15-0 would do better than someone who went 16-20, but MW3 doesn't do that right now.

[brax0789]

player collision is not really an issue to me. but the last thing he said is something that needs to be addressed. i want to know how many flags i captured and dog tags i picked up

[mtWHITE100]

how abt changing the target demographic from kids to gamers?

[wardogPC]

don't forget about PC, the FOV is locked at 70 (for TV) I only played this game for about 5 hours cause it makes me nauseous, a "normal" PC FOV is at least 90 degrees.

[Salvothegamer]

@wardogPC it is locked at 65... get a fov changer you just have to google it.

[wardogPC]

@Salvothegamer I have an even better idea then googleing for an FOV changer, it's never buying any of their games ( I mean Minecraft has one implemented, a 10$ game ffs)

[ANDERSAASK0V]

Totally agree in all the thigs you're saying! The scoreboard is the worst of the things, though, and the option to search for local games.. All of them, really..

[kironmonger]

the biggest turn off for me is final stand and dead mans hand, they are the most annoying things ever, and has anyone ever noticed its always when your streaking really high

[OoOJakeOoO]

@kironmonger Lol thats because you're the one who made them on a death streak! :P

[kironmonger]

@OoOJakeOoO haha true lol i cant help it silenced ACR for the win and the MP7 lol

[OoOJakeOoO]

@kironmonger haha yes so true! I've got all the titles for both of those guns!

[LTheDetective3]

how about...headshots unlocking camos again, using attachments to unlock other attachments, the return of cold-blooded (instead of splitting it in half), and larger maps. almost all of these maps are so small scale, as well as a reduced number of killstreaks. there are too many and many people choose them unrealistically for their skill level.

[JohnIsYoDaddy]

@LTheDetective3 No that's a horrible idea in my opinion, because then it will bring back headshot boosting, cold-blooded will be over powered. But reduced killstreak's sounds good, there are just way too many. But then again this is just my opinion.

[LTheDetective3]

@JohnIsYoDaddy well what exactly is the point of headshots then? i mean, make them worth something, which in my opinion should be camos. and cold-blooded was not overpowered so much as it was lacking competion among perks. in black ops, you had the choice of ghost or....well why would you choose anything else?

[JohnIsYoDaddy]

@LTheDetective3 But what would compete with Cold blooded? Without stopping power the second tier automatically becomes Cold Blooded, because the fact that there are stupid portable radars make it impossible to avoid campers in corners without it, therefor when you bring it back, it's twice as good as assassin with no competing perks. Headshot's multiply the amount of xp a gun kill will get you by four, if that is not enough, i don't know what is.

[LTheDetective3]

@JohnIsYoDaddy removing stopping power was one of the biggest mistakes in the history of the cod franchise. if for nothing else it completely screwed the entire perk system prior to black ops. before that, you almost never heard of the problem of camping at this level. now, it's up there with the most frequently complained about parts of the game. since then as well, you've had perks chopped to bits to bring some balance back, but to no avail really. and if you want to go further, deathstreaks

[LTheDetective3]

@JohnIsYoDaddy aren't entirely nessesary and take away some alternative perks. like i said before, there are too many killstreaks as well. maybe if you lessen the number of those, and the penalty they encure, then you'd have less of a need for a ghost/cold-blooded camper. it also doesn't help that ALL of the maps are close-quarter oriented. the game practically is built to camp in and i still don't understand why there are sniper rifles in it short of quick/hard scoping.

[immRevivalHD]

TURN OFF THE MW2 MUSIC! i have nightmares ;p

[clevelandtyler2]

You're the biggest tool of all time.

[RaGe10940]

Better game? How about they come up with something new rather then new guns and maps? (map pack?) I recievied this game for Christmas was so happy but then... I soon came to the conclusion that this game is horrid. I hated MW2 and with the this game performing like MW2 I hated this. Heck... if you have a PC (which I do) you can launch MW3 with the MW2 .exe. I re-gifted this game to a clan member and I bought myself BF3 best choice ever. I played BC2 and loved that and i played BF3 and love that.

[Undisputed4776]

Check My Channel for full movies

[GitheadJr]

, STOP COPY AND PASTING FILES AND CALLING IT A NEW GAME. Improve, change, COD is the same thing over and over, where did the graphics from MW2 go? they where far better and didnt look like cartoony shit like black-ops, so much bs considering this game costs $60.00 or £45, its rediculous, too all serious gamers, dont play this shit, invest in Battlefield 3, that game takes skill and is WAAYYYY better than any call of duty in its own way.

[GitheadJr]

I think they need to improve the hit detection and the way that bullets phase out when you pull your gun up to shoot someone, they dont seem to hit when your scoped down on them. Just take a look at Wings of redemptions video on that, its bullcrap.

[burberrybedroom]

i reckon they should just bin KD ratios all together...outcome? no try95 noobs campin in corners on dom.

[parkourmad101]

@burberrybedroom yes!!

[alwaysFSX]

They still need to fix theater mode, they only made it worse, and uploading videos to YouTube from Elite! I want HD (at least damn 480p) and full length gameplay! Jesus fucking christ IW, lazy jack asses taking a looooooooong step back from black ops

[Octrox]

@alwaysFSX Just record the theater clip with Fraps or something

[alwaysFSX]

@Octrox I'm on console smartness, I wouldn't use theater to record if I was on pc, I'd use fraps since I have that already

[MajorB27]

I wish they brought back the exp req 4 the next level in game

[darkpitbull1]

Take away final stand, dead man's hand.



[solomon498]

Would it be possible to improved/change lag compensation to the way it was like in modern warfare 2

[bmanngaming]

IW needs to give all right of modern warfare to treyarch

[TheReelix]

@bmanngaming oh hell no!

[bmanngaming]

@TheReelix IW clearly cant make a game

[TheReelix]

@bmanngaming well.. they made mw1 and mw2, both was better than BO.

[bmanngaming]

@TheReelix i dont like mw1 that much mw2 is noob tube dominated so i prefer black ops even though some guns suck

[TheReelix]

@bmanngaming Mabye you dont like it, many ppl that love those games. black ops feels like playing with legos compared to a noobtube free round of mw2.

[bmanngaming]

@TheReelix i do enjoy noob tube free games until they join ...

[TheReelix]

@bmanngaming yupp, but i cant stand playing black ops, i just hate the game. it nothing about treyarch; i love zombies and cod5. but the multiplayer is just horrible:/

[bmanngaming]

@TheReelix its not horrible to me but there can be improvements

[xXDarkLegend16Xx]

@woodysgamertag you want to know if poeple are doing objectives? i think them having a high score and low kills says for itself doesnt it?

[tromdude1]

black ops and mw3 have different developers you dope

[TazmanianFire42]

@tromdude1 i think he knows that....

[iAmRabid]

@tromdude1 He knows that you "dope".

[Skwajjey]

@tromdude1 he said that at the beginning

[HapplyFace]

Solution: Decent maps like the ones in mw2 and cod 4...

[pyroyeal]

player collision makes you get stuck in the corner.

[Curzon999]

i like the score board, i really liked it in black ops even tho i didnt like black ops

[Manoichan]

Attention Woodys Gamertag. Infinity Ward doesn't exist anymore. It's nothing more then a label.

[thejoshwilcox65]

i wanna be able to turn off my aim asist. i dont like to have it on.

[moodydoyle]

@thejoshwilcox65 aim assist only lingers on a dude when you walk by him. Like if you walk by a dude and you don't really see him the scope will linger a little bit in his direction. It doesn't even stop your movement, just like a heads up. Why would that bother you?

Not being a troll, just asking your opinion. :P

[OhMyAshes]

@thejoshwilcox65 you can.

[xXDarkLegend16Xx]

@thejoshwilcox65 you can

[repocussions]

Infinity Ward's letter to cod players= suck my dick bitches, your money is already in our bank account. i don't have to fix shit or care what the fuck you think. signed x robert bowling.

[moralabsolutism]

@repocussions if you are actually robert bowling, you should probably choose your words more wisely, the internet is fucking crazy, as i'm sure you know. If you're not robert bowling you should gtfo and stop pretending to be someone you're not

[repocussions]

@moralabsolutism you my friend is a noob and a moron.smh by his actions that is what he is saying to all of us cod players. he don't really fix shit and a liar. you didn't get the comment?

[moralabsolutism]

@repocussions My mistake, i misunderstood, but it's still not polite to call someone a moron when you can't use proper grammar. Regardless, I think infinity ward actually does a good job about listening to their fans about game fixes, at least compared to bungie and 343 studios. Infinity ward actually has released several patches since the game's release to try to alleviate some of the problems. MW will never be perfect, but at least they're trying.

[simonson593]

BRING COMBAT TRAINING BACK

[Awalker454]

Is it just me, or are you always completely cluster raped by enemies way more than you ever were on Black Ops?



[PShare131]

Best feedback yet. If the community was all like this, I'd bet the updates would get done twice as fast

[lankey6969]

And Woody, you cant expect all these new things in the old Mw2 engine.

[lankey6969]

A few areas for VAST improvement.

#1issue that NEEDS to be addressed; CONNECTION.

I suggest dedicated servers.

Chould someone please explane to me why we dident get dedicated servers on MW3?

[ValiantNoobTube]

@lankey6969 I never suffer from lag. I have a great conection too. Always have. Now death streaks are bad. FMG9's are not very bad.

[Awalker454]

@lankey6969 PC did receive dedicated, however, they are unranked, and appear to be second class.

[xKingLibra]

@lankey6969 Too big a fanbase it'd cost a ton of money activision doesn't wanna spend

[EspenHW]

I AGREEEE!



[cheapforiner510]

ha he said modern warfare 4

[DarkMatter500]

It is almost like MW2 in a way. Cause it has everything you said... But it is NOT black ops.

You made me mad being a critic about a game that is on MW2 then black ops.

[guildmaster911]

4:19 to 4:24 wtf mw3?

[1STUPiD100]

you should have said something about the wierd jerky looking in theatre mode

[kickinuass14]

i hate it when ur next to an teammate and you like run into them and then u lag

[theman2664]

agree to everything but the music i dont care about it anyway :D

[xxyourself91xx]

like if you hate that guy who sets up two controllers and plays infected and than sits in a corner with an infected guy blocking him... you know that guy in infected... I HATE THAT GUY

[SamiurKhan123]

u can turn ur music off in the option menu cant you? and there is a file on the pc that you can delete that eliminates music

[SuperOhyeah69]

i want combat training back and i want to see war back in as a game type

[12Kringle82]

Excellent video. I agree with everything you said except the issue about player collision. Liked and Subbed.

[jy345689]

i agree to all of that of you said in the video

[SwordChux]

One thing I have always wished for is a "mute all" feature. So you don't join those lobbies with 5 people's headsets screaming at you, because of one person blaring static.

Also... another option to have everyone muted except your party.

Just my 2 cents.

[pugnaciousP]

The reason you keep "rubbing shoulders with your own team" is the maps are about 100 m wide.

[cockyjeremy]

I'd kind of like people to die when i shoot them. But i guess considering i don't have a shitty connection, that won't happen. Gotta love lag compensation, right? Glad i moved to BF3.

[swarm567]

REMOVE THROWING KNIVES FROM INFECTED PLEASE!

[lifepuzzled]

check out my channel?!

[MrJayx23]

dolphin dives are already in mw3 yellan499

[itsalmostanorange]

@MrJayx23 no they arent. tomahawks are though. well, throwing knives

[Imdoingyourself]

@MrJayx23 no theyre not lol?

[yellan499]

Bring back dolphin dives and tomahawks :O

[TheBigAppleNYC]

I completely agree with the scoreboard gesture and wish Infinity Ward create a more in-depth chart.

[C1etus]

I agree, especially in your last point.

If someone destroys an helicopter, it should be on the scoreboard.

This is why MW3 don't encourage team play.

[xMurderxmurderjoey]

COD4 MW1 has the most epic music

[EXEprog527]

I sometimes wish the EXP bar was at the bottom of the screen like MW2

[shoeib123]

one that would have made this game better is if i dident waset my money on this shit of a game

[iTwis7ed]

THANK YOU!!! TURN THE DAMN MUSIC OFF!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't sound whore at the end of the match with the stupid donky kong volume!!

[MrRyans777]

"Dancing on the rooftop, top of the world, TONIGHT! TONIGHT!!" lol

[jim74205]

Fix lag comp half of all hosts are unplayable for me do to the fact that everyone can see me .2 too .3 sec before I can see them (PS3)

[xx3070]

I wish there was still a thing that told you how many players are left on each side in s&d

[itsaCODthiing]

@xx3070 they do bro

[cianryan93]

@xx3070 there is haha.

[YaBoiiNene]

@xx3070 lmao when a player dies.... they get dogtags on the GTs you have to press the back button to look at the leaderboard.
