MW3 Faceoff

[video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wgZFvCloRHw[/video]

What do you guys think of this(And I'm sorry if this got posted I didnt see anything recent on the front page so)

Personally I think the idea is good,but lag comp will ruin it.

The game mode is getting 4 seperate maps for itself. (2 of them being FREE for EVERYONE)
The other 2 will be ELITE maps first.

There is also one further Elite Map (Oasis)

This is Collection 2 so The 2 most recent maps that just dropped are also in this. But Oasis and the 4 Faceoff maps(2 free for everyone)

Thoughts?

Personally the idea is fine and dandy. But I feel like Lag Comp will ruin it in 1v1/2v2 situation. The maps actually look pretty nice. Also in theory booster will have a field day with this. In the video they say it's good for split screening. Now the game modes are TDM/KC for Faceoff. Does that mean if you split screen a 1v1 mode it will just split you guys up or will the 1v1 be a "no party" game mode and you just have to join session.

As always you shouldn't judge anything before it has been released and played.

I like the idea behind 2v2 or 1v1 matches if the maps are done properly. Would've liked to see 2v2v2(v2) or 3v3v3, but that doesn't work with CoD properly. I think you can only split-screen in 2v2 matches
It sounds like they actually try out new things, but I'm still not impressed.

Sounds like a great idea, but sadly it's going to be abused like hell. I remember mw2's 1v1 3rd person cage match. What happened? Boosters. Lots of boosters. 1v1 is guaranteed that there will be many boosters. 2v2 with split screens ensures boosting + not ruining stats. Overall, it's a decent idea, but the community is going to tear it apart.

yeah thats true
wouldnt this be the boosting central?
No1 to kill the boosters so they can get 100 gunstreak,do the challanges,emblems etc
And no1 will even be able to report them
Bad idea atm unless they show us that this wont happen

Can't wait to wipe the floor with players looking to boost

Hmmm, who should be my 2v2 partner?

too bad your a ps3 player!
You should play with panda and help him get a *unique* 2 v 2 moab

It will be great if you just want to play with just one person. I don't care about people boosting, it's only a video game and what are they going to gain from boosting? It won't break the game in the other playlists.

im disappointed. i dont care about 1v1 or 2v2. i want 6v6 maps. by them doing this, only 10 maps will be released for MW3. now i am feeling that Elite wasnt worth it. to put out 4 useless maps is not only a waste of money on their part developing, but a waste of mine buying into Elite for map packs.

if they were serious about a 1v1/2v2 map style play, they should have designed maps that had an area for it, but enlarged them out for 6v6/9v9 and just barricaded them off for 1v1/2v2 play like Blops did for their wager matches.

i hope activision gets rid of IW. they dont deserve to be a developer anymore.

@Pro you do realize that Activision does control what IW actually does. It's not like they aren't being watched.

Personally I think this is a good idea, Let boosters boost. Whatever makes em happy. Maybe TIs won't be in the game mode so at least they will have to move around to find each other.

But it is only may. So weve got some MP maps already.(Liberation,Piazza,Overwatch,Black box, Foundation and Sanctuary). They are releasing the Spec Ops Missions(i forget how many have been realeased) 1 more MP map so far. Who knows what else they are going to do.

But as for now. They have given a lot of new "DLC" whether it's missions/mp maps etc. but these 4 maps look like they can be pretty nice and fun. And honestly I'd have more fun doing 2v2 private matches or 1v1 private matches on smaller maps

pretty much what I was going to post. 4 maps ONLY for this 1v1 and 2v2 playlist what a waste.

Also there are too many playlists as it is with all the core game modes, HC modes, community playlists, Team Tactical, Barebones and now the "Face off mode". I can never get a game under 75 ping at any time of day unless I play TDM (And I don't like TDM) due to how many options there are.

ive already played all the new maps sans oasis [not out yet, looks like june... which is a ways off] to death... i was hoping for 4 new real maps. IW is the one driving the ideas, and the flaws in this game, activision isnt that much in control. they cant even seem to manage beachhead with the Elite site which stats are never right, half the time is doesnt work.

you can see what they are going to do on the content calendar.

spec ops is useless, so are missions. those dont count to me.

multiplayer maps please.

im loving the idea

i can just go in with my GB partner and see how big a of a winstreak we can get, im assuming its going to be very teamwork oriented, which i like

I don't care for this too much but its better than new maps i wont buy, if you play GB it sounds like a neat idea. I cant wait to put my clan tag as [HSx3] and then poop on people, loved doing that in Cod4.

Well at least bowling wasn't lying when he said free maps...I guess we can take that and call it a plus.

I think this will be a lot of fun playing the 1v1 especially, all i have to do is go against a player without dead silence and i can sound whore

As long as I don't see 1 bar vs 4 bar I'll be fine

That's really my only concern. I wanna see how Lag comp acts in a 1v1/2v2 situation.

The issue is with these new game modes(outside of the core/popular modes) you rarely see large amounts of people in the game modes) Which always leads to poor connections. In BO you could account for a good connection providing a good connection unless the situation was NA v EU

In MW3 this issue isn't nearly as easy to solve. You can't expect to get host and have an enjoyable game because of lovely "balancing" of connections. I'm not sure how often EU players get into NA lobbies(without having NA players in their party) But typically NA doesn't get EU lobbies. We get Mexican/Canadian lobbies which really kicks lag comp into action.

I feel as if who ever get's host unless they are in the same area. The host will be miserable.

i just cant believe they wasted time and money on creating maps that appeal to probably 10% of the population. team tactical modes were/are always light on players in them, not to mention further dilluting the playlists.

I play four player splitscreen with my friends quite often (Monday night is GAMES NIGHT!). So I'm looking forward to this. I just wish they'd add more game modes. Just TDM and KK? Pffft! Where's my Drop Zone? Where's my Headquarters? My friends and I even play Domination, but change the rules such that you're only allowed to get the B flag. It would be nice to have a single-flag mode on these small maps!

It's an idea with a lot of potential. It appeals to people that play solo, or hate playing on a team that ignore the objective. If they include SnD at some point I could really get into it.

I really want to give it a try, then I can pass judgement.

Well Outside of TDM/KC/Domination/SnD the rest of the modes appeal to about the same percentage. This is a far better option for solo players. FFA in my mind doesn't really do it with the solo play. Because of spawns.

If the spawns aren't retarded in this game. This game mode has potential.

I was looking at the numbers for BO on PS3 there are 300k ppl playing.....100k actually in the normal game modes meaning 200k are playing zombies or something else not in the core mode or "online" against others.

I have around 10 guys on my friends list who play Zombies at least once a week. Only saw one or two play an online gametype.

Pretending to offer to boost with someone and then trolling them is so funny.

But I really like the idea of a 2vs2/1vs1 game mode, I guess it'll be a perfect way of getting away from the BS that you get in normal games. I'm not very good at 1vs1 however, I was beaten by <1KD player before
