I would like to take this time to apologize to my small but loyal following for nreglecting my blog over the last week. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 came out and has completely taken over my life. I've been drinking Mountain Dew by the case to get the bottle caps for double XP points. Carzy thing is...I'm not a big soda fan at all. I swear...do not judge me in any way, shape, or form.
Another November...another edition of Call Of Duty game. This year's iteration is Modern Warfare 3, a sequel to 2009's Modern Warfare 2 and is sure to break all kinds of sales records (early estimates have 1st day sales in the US and UK at 6.5 million units). MW3 is definitely a solid game and a marked improvement from MW2 in many areas. The story is short of course (haven't played it all the way through...where they do that at?) but it's still compelling. It's very hard to just play one mission without getting temporarily sucked into the story. 99.999% of the people who bought the game for the online multiplayer. It's deep and even more rewarding this time around. They've revamped the weapon leveling and kill streaks...not gonna go too in depth with the changes (not gonna turn this into a full-fledged game review) but it's very obvious that they focused on keeping the game balanced while rewarding players for long streaks. They even expanded the Special Operations and added a Survival Mode (think Gears Of War's horde mode) for even more online co-op play. The graphics look more refined and smooth...A LOT better than Black Ops. If you're on the fence about the game I would strongly suggest you take the leap if you want to have a deep online multiplayer experience.
In other dope ass video games news, the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection finally dropped (same day as MW3...the people @ Konami must not have calanders). This 2 disc set contains remastered versions of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The set also includes the PSP's Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and some SNES Metal Gear games. This is a must have for any Metal Gear Solid fan (such as myself....HUGE CHRISTMAS PRESENT HINT!!!!). The games have been remastered in HD so you can enjoy them on your PS3 in all of their cinematic glory. Also a plus for people who don't have a PSP and haven't played Peace Walker yet. One of my biggest beefs with the PlayStation Network (in relation to Xbox Live) is that they don't sell PS2 games for download (probably because Sony is still selling a good number of PS2s at a wallet friendly $99 price point). If you want to play old games you have to wait for the studio to re-release the game...takes a lot longer and is usually a little more expensive. But the upside is they're normally released in HD for the first time....patience is a virtue FTW. This fall/holiday season has been chock full of top notch titles just itching to get bought, such as Batman: Arkham City, Battlefield, Skyrim, Saint's Row 3, and Assassain's Creed: Revalations just to name a few.. I'm tapped out until the first of next year....I have too many Christmas presents to buy. I have to be responsible and all that...being a grown up sucks. Happy playing!
