As a Wii owner I already knew the truth. Actually I can't stand FPS's with dual analong unless it's in the vein of GoldenEye, PD, or Timesplitters. I really enjoyed pointer controls on the Wii though, and regardless of the graphic fidelity, those Call of Duty ports that Treyarch did were awesome. I had a great time with them.
Now that I have a decent PC I will be getting this game for the dedicated servers and modability.

Cool. Expecting high scores from this one based on the beta and sheer volume of content.

That Afghan vibe...or maybe Turbine lol
Ugh, this might be another thread I'll have to not read lol. Trying to avoid any info and go in blind.

Actually layout wise you two are right, just artistically it is more reminiscent of Turbine. It depends if you can jump on that giant wing from an overlooking ledge and there is a cave you can go through behind it.
Me too, please!

I loved WaW, people didn't like it?
I loved it too, but around here any Cod that was not by IW was trash for a while.
Also if not modern military.
That too.

MW3 (how bad it was) cemented Treyarch as kings of COD.
At the time, the hate for WAW was embarrassing from both the consumer base and the media because it wasn't even based on the game itself, but the hype of MW2.
The hype for IW after MW1 was just too strong, it literally colored all opinions of anything not made by them, atleast until MW2.
I remember the "IW is the REAL studio! Can't wait for the REAL king of FPS to come back and aoeifjhaafwoeij"
It was embarrassing.
Isn't 12 maps normal? I think only MW3 had like 18 maps but 90% of them were crap at launch

It was like CoD4, except they "balanced" weapons by making everything underpowered, which is not a fun way to have a game designed and didn't even work because they did very little to balance SMGs, leading to SMGs being too dominant, especially the MP40. Plus tanks as a mechanic were annoying.
It had a lot of cool ideas and the maps were decent (excluding the fact that some of them had the annoying tanks), but overall it just didn't have good balance.
Perks were also badly balanced, but that was more understandable given that CoD4 also had bad perk balance and they were basically copying CoD4's perk system.
100% of them were absolute attrocities for the entire lifespan of MW3. They led to absolute worst spawns of any CoD. You would literally see enemies spawn right in your sights constantly because the maps were not designed with safe respawn zones in mind.
people were turned off by the return to WW2 after 4 changed up everything mostly, combined with Treyarch still being viewed as the B-studio, so people just dismissed it without playing.
I think it started getting more retroactive praise after MW2 was a clusterfuck and people realized that IW wasn't infallible. WaW is pretty good, the weapon/perk balance (MP40 + juggernaut for everyone) wasn't great but imo it has some of the best maps in the series.

I remember 3 specific complaints.
1. Some felt the gore was overdone.
2. It was seen as too iterative of CoD4.
3. People complained about the tank maps.
I don't remember much praise for nazi zombies (when it was just one map) and the campaign co-op even though those were likely the two cooler features in the game.

WaW had dogs, bolt action rifles, flamethrowers and War.
Loved all of it, lol. Would still be playing to this day if it wasn't for hackers.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
So, uh, how does one go about playing the campaign if one where to, say, have the game early?

Just load it up and play! MP servers are online now too. Play away. Ain't no Halo whitelist bullshit here.

Black Ops 2 launched with 14 maps plus Nuketown, so yeah, it's slightly shorter.
But they made up for it and more with the other included modes/extras in Black Ops 3.

Yes, installing, I'm dumb. Thanks anyway. ^^
Can you please check if the players online numbers are there? I don't get why AW didn't have them.

They don't want anyone seeing the decline. This could be a good year to bring it back though.
Is this confirmed? I just got the game a few mins ago and want to know if I'm limited to SP or if in can jump online. The seller told me not to go online but he always says that when he sells early.

Yes! please check if the player count is back.
You can go online. Nothing will happen to you.

I would assume it's first wave since that's how they have always done it, but not confirmed.
That is ok.
