MW3 Spec ops survival mode trailer! 

Picture
The trailer for the survival mode in spec ops has been released! First thoughts: IT WAS AWESOME! There were lots of shown in the trailer, including what the new G36C looks like, confirming a bunch of weapons, a tiny bit of mutilplayer footage, & more! Lets get to the survival mode stuff. In the trailer, it shows 4 perks: Extreme Conditioning, SitRep, Steady Aim, & Last Stand. Yes, Last Stand. It isn't confirmed that it would be in mutilplayer though. It also showed the new ACOG scope which looks pretty awesome IMO! The weapons confirmed in the trailer were
  • ACR 6.8
  • USAS 12
  • AK-47
  • M16 A4
  • M60 E4
  • FM69
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now here's some info on the 5 second clip of mutilplayer! In the trailer, it confirms that the AC-130 will be a killstreak in mutilplayer. It also shows that the juggernaut will be a kill streak! Or a point streak actually. When the player got the juggernaut, it said "14 POINT STREAK" which makes me believe that capping flags, planting bombs, & other things similar will get you "point streaks". There was also a motion sensor like thing which could either be an equipment or a killstreak. One more thing I'd like to point out. In the mutiplayer footage if you look at the bottom right corner, you can see a killstreak counter! It shows that the Predator Missile is now a 6 kill streak. Thats all for now guys, can't wait for CoD: XP!

Respawn Entertainment has a website!

Picture
In MW3 unrelated news, Respawn Entertainment, the company made by former Infinity Ward studio heads Vince Zampella & Jason West, has made its website (www.respawn.com) along with a forum on the site as well! The site confirms the that in fact they are working on a new game, but haven't revealed anything about it sadly, but Abbie Heppe, Community Manager @ Respawn Entertainment, said that their new game will be muti-platform & on their new ip with EA. The site also showed all of the employees for Respawn Entertainment. I hope their new game will blow the hats off everyone :)

Spec-ops footage on Jimmy Fallon & more!

Picture
The spec-ops footage from jimmy fallon was short, but sorta sweet. It gave us a look at the HUD. First of all, the bullet counter is back to normal thankfully, & It shows that you can upgrade armor with currency separate from mutiplayer & ONLY relating to spec-ops' survival mode. While playing I spotted Robert Bowling saying that the enemies will have "helicopters, dogs, kamikaze dogs..." KAMIKAZE DOGS?!! My first thought was that hopefully these kamikaze dogs wouldn't be in mutiplayer as a kill streak or as least not be over powered. We got to see a new pistol as well, which I can't identify, but contact me via twitter @krazybakers to tell me what you think it is!

Call of Duty E3 Madness!!

Picture
E3 has given us gameplay of 2 levels of MW3's single player campaign & spec-ops info thanks to hutch! The first campaign mission they show off is a mission mostly under water. Your mission is to sabotage a submarine and find keys to activate & launch missiles. That mission showed off the new MP5-K which has less recoil & the new AA-12 which looks pretty nice but the iron sights are ugly IMO. In the next Level "Black Tuesday" was a bit boring. It showed off the dual scope attachments on the M4A1. It had a EOtech sight & a magnifying scope. So basically you can enable the magnifying scope to make your EOtech sight see as far as an acog scope! Black Tuesday was pretty boring to watch, even the part where the main character in on a chain gun, gunning down Russian hinds! Also I almost forgot to mention that the mission feature the brand new "9-Bang" which is basically 9 small flash bang in one package! Looks incredibly interesting
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the spec-ops info is mostly weapon info & all info is collected from Hutch on machinma, thanks Shaun! In spec-ops, there is a in-game currency system, which is not related to multilayer. You can use the currency to buy weapons, killstreaks, attachments, A.I. etc. You start out with a pistol and earn points by getting kills. Also I should mention that spec-ops is still up to 2 players. According to Hutch, most weapons have more recoil in comparison to MW2. Guns like the ACR had barely any. The ACR was the most expensive gun to buy in the play through. Well that's all. Hopefully we get a beta for the game soon or a multilayer trailer within the weeks hopefully!

Call of Duty: Elite Q&A

Picture
Activision has announced Call of Duty: Elite, a site to improve gaming skills such as heat maps & stat checking. The Q&A provided by Activision below will clear out some confusion about the program. REMEMBER THE PROGRAM IS FREE. SOME OF THE OTHER STUFF IN ELITE IS PAID FOR AND IS OPTIONAL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL OF DUTY: ELITE Q&A BELOW:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GIVING YOU MORE THAN EVER BEFORE (AND TAKING NOTHING AWAY) - With over 30 million online players around the world, the Call of Duty community is too large and diverse to create a one size fits all approach, and Call of Duty Elite must be purely additive to the experience. The Call of Duty “out of the box” experience that our players expect: a great single player campaign, co-op missions, and the deepest and most accessible multiplayer anywhere -- at no additional cost -- remains the same as ever. Our promise to you is this: Elite only adds to the Call of Duty experience. Nothing will be taken away from the experience you know and love. If you want to continue to play Call of Duty as you always have, you will still be able to do just that, including the ability to buy Map Packs ala carte. With Call of Duty Elite, we’re adding a new choice for those who want to get even more out of the game. Even haters can play for free.

THE BEST FREE SERVICE ON THE MARKET – How can we say that this is the best? We believe that the free elements of Call of Duty Elite will be superior to any free service currently on the market because we are offering more features than any other service out there. Additionally, many of Elite’s free features which will debut with Modern Warfare 3 are industry firsts and offer a new level of innovation.

Elite’s free features let you:

  • Access Elite through the web as well as Elite’s free custom iOS and Android applications for smartphones and tablets
  • Communicate any way you want across mobile, console and the web with your friends
  • Track and share thousands of stats with friends – k/d ratios, score-per-minute, win % and loads more, all represented in easy to understand charts and infographics
  • Create your own custom leaderboards to track friendly rivalries – who is moving up and down in your group of friends?
  • Analyze advanced heat maps detailing your match-by-match performance – where you killed or got killed, when it happened, and more
  • Analyze your weapons performance – which weapons you are best with in which situations
  • Upload and share videos of your greatest moments through our exclusive theater mode with the touch of a button
  • After you analyze your performance to your heart’s content - Customize your loadout – search through all the weapons, attachments and perks, and push them directly into the game menu from the web or your mobile device with the touch of a button
  • Join dozens of groups and find other players with common interests to play with and compete against – find people who make the game the most fun for you – TDM, Lakers’ fans, Weekend Warriors?
  • Create a private Clan with players who share your interests and skill level
  • Bring your Facebook friends right into the game, easily taking your existing network into the Call of Duty experience.
  • Seamlessly be placed into matches into Groups who share your affinities and interests based on your Facebook profile to elevate your in-game experience.
  • Career? Start tracking your Call of Duty career – everything you wanted to know about your performance across the franchise starting with Black Ops
And that’s just the beginning. The service will continue to evolve and we will continue to add new features.

A PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP THAT RESETS THE BAR - The premium membership of Call of Duty Elite (which is completely optional) will set a new gold standard for what the multiplayer and community experience for a console game can be. Why are we not revealing all of the features that are part of the premium service today? Simple. Because the service was designed to be deeply integrated with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and will not be demonstrable until we are closer to the launch of the game. We know seeing is believing, and over the next few months we will be revealing and demonstrating more of the premium features and by the end of the summer, we will reveal the entire service in full. The reason we announced the service today was so we could begin recruiting for a free beta using the multiplayer community of Call of Duty: Black Ops, which will allow us to test the service at scale. This is a critical step to us launching the service successfully this fall. So we appreciate your patience.

Is Elite a new website? We’re on the web of course, but we’re designing Call of Duty Elite to be widely accessible and customized for a number of platforms -- via web browsers, through the game, and through mobile applications as well – including iPhone and iPad, as well as Android tablets and smartphones.

Will you be charging for multiplayer? No, we are offering players more choice and are not taking anything away from our fans. If you like playing the way you always have, with a great campaign, co-op and multiplayer experience out of the box, then you can. Additionally, many of Elite’s key features that we’ve listed will be free to all Call of Duty players. 

What about stats? Do I get free access to my stats with Elite? Absolutely. Elite’s Career section gives players an in-depth look at statistical details of their own performance and gameplay as well as that of the entire Call of Duty community, including heat maps, load-outs, stat trends, custom leaderboards, and integration of your Facebook friends. The Career section is free to all registered users.

How will Elite compare to free offerings that currently exist? We believe that the free elements of Elite alone will be better than any free service currently on the market today. Elite ups the ante of any free service by offering a range of innovations on well-established multiplayer features, such as leaderboards, heat maps, and rich player data. Additionally, other Elite features are completely new to the industry. For example, with Elite’s new Groups featured integrated with Modern Warfare 3, you will be able to join custom groups based on your likes, interests, or affiliations, and then have those groups follow you directly into the game. Soon you’ll be playing in a social group, making new friends (and rivals!) who play Call of Duty and share your interests, home town, or play style.

Is there a beta? When can I try Elite for myself? Elite will officially launch this fall with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, but you can try key features earlier with our free public beta test. In order to deliver the best possible launch this fall, we need to test the service at scale and get your feedback on key features. The Beachhead team is working with Treyarch to hold a public beta this summer for Elite with the multiplayer community of Call of Duty: Black Ops. The earlier you sign up, the earlier you can play. All you need to do to sign up is register your email address and gamer tag. Sign up now at www.callofduty.com/elite.

Will the beta include everything that comes at launch in November? Because Elite was designed to be deeply integrated into Modern Warfare 3, not all of the features will be able to be part of the free beta with Call of Duty: Black Ops. You will get to try a number of key features, but the beta will still be just a slice of the full service that launches with Modern Warfare 3 in November. We plan to test some specific features, such as the Program Guide and Groups. However, a number of new features and services will be coming online specifically with Modern Warfare 3. Additionally, a number of our dedicated applications will be launching this November as well.

Can you tell me more about what “Connect, Compete, Improve” means?

Connect: Elite will give our players unprecedented control over their Call of Duty multiplayer experience, transforming it into a true social experience. Players can compete against friends, players of similar skill levels, players with similar interests. Connect will include:

  • Find and join Groups of people with similar interests
  • Create Clans, which are private player groups that can compete with other Clans in organized competition
  • Track your performance, progress and activity within your Groups and Clans through mobile and web interfaces
  • Upload and share your videos with your Groups and Clans
  • Access high-quality original video programming, tailored to people who love Call of Duty; Elite will help players to connect with the Call of Duty community 24/7.
Compete: Call of Duty players want to compete, but are looking for a way to do it that fits their skill and style.

  • The Program Guide, gives players a choice of dozens of daily and weekly competitive Events, individual and clan Operations, official Leagues, and Tournaments all tailored to different skill levels
  • These competitions will offer both digital and real prizes - everything from digital trophies and badges to a new Jeep
Improve: Everyone wants to improve their game, and Elite will be like having a personal online coach.

  • It provides players with a dynamic strategy guide that tracks their statistics and performances -- down to minute details -- showing gamers how they stack up against their friends or others in the community
  • Improve will offer continually evolving professional tips and advice. Tools and information are provided so players can learn and up their game, regardless if you’re a newer player or level 15 Prestige
The Program Guide sounds cool, but I’m an average player. How can I have a chance to participate in competition? Just like a sport, we believe competing in Call of Duty should be fun and accessible regardless of skill. Highly skilled players may want to join the most competitive Leagues and Tournaments, while a more moderate player can find Operations, Events and Clan competitions that are tailored based on their skill level or particular play style. We want all Elite players to find a range of competition that fits them, and gives them a chance to succeed.

Is Elite only for hardcore players? Connect, Compete and Improve are universal needs regardless of skill, and Elite has been tailored for Call of Duty’s diverse base of players. If you are a hardcore “Prestige” player or a casual weekend warrior, you can enjoy personalized communities, daily competition and events, community-generated video content, and a dynamic strategy guide that tracks your statistics and performance trends. Elite also will offer high-production value, original entertainment programming designed exclusively for the Call of Duty community. Different players will use Elite in different ways, but we want there to be something for everyone.

Will Elite support Call of Duty: Black Ops? Yes. Because Elite was designed to be deeply integrated into Modern Warfare 3, not all of the features will be able to be part of the beta with Black Ops this summer. When Modern Warfare 3 launches this fall, players will be able to have a unified relationship through Elite – they can create a single profile in Elite and build their career in Call of Duty that will carry forward as they play every supported Call of Duty game.

How is Elite different with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3? The Beachhead team has been working closely with Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games to build Elite from the ground up to support Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. When Elite launches this November, the service will include a number of all-new features and innovations being built directly by the developers into the new game. For example, your Elite community Group and Clan affiliations and identity will be incorporated directly into Modern Warfare 3.

When will Elite launch? The service will launch with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 this November 8th, 2011.

Where will Elite be available? Elite will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. In addition, there will be custom Elite applications available on iOS and Android tablets and smartphones.

How can I become a member? With the roll out of the Call of Duty Elite beta this summer on Call of Duty: Black Ops, players can sign up on www.callofduty.com/elite to queue up for participation. Once the platform officially launches with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on November 8th, players will be able to enter the service in through a variety of ways, which we will be announcing later this year.

So, if I just want to buy Map Packs standalone, I can still do that? Yes. Call of Duty Elite has been built around the tenets of value and choice. To us that choice means that players who purchase Modern Warfare 3, who want to extend the game may prefer the option of a map pack. We will continue to offer that option. So if you want to just buy a map pack only, no problem.

If I get the premium membership to Elite, do I really get all of the DLC? Yes. Elite is an all-inclusive membership, and that means you get all of the playable game DLC for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 as part of your premium membership. No need to buy additional DLC.

Will there be Customer Service? Absolutely. It’s a priority for us that Elite membership comes with 24/7 worldwide customer service. We will have a team dedicated to programming, administration, and service, starting with our public beta this summer.

Why announce now if you can’t show us all the Modern Warfare 3 launch features and pricing? Elite was designed from the ground up to integrate with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Therefore, many of the services which will be a part of the premium membership will not be able to be demonstrated fully until the launch of Modern Warfare 3. The reason we launched the service ahead of that time was to invite people to participate in a public beta of the service using Black Ops, which will help to test the service at scale and fine tune it before its official release this November. The premium membership to Elite also will include many industry firsts, and will represent the ultimate Call of Duty experience.

Are you letting people buy prestige weapons or levels through Elite? No, players are not able to buy prestige weapons or levels through Elite. While Call of Duty Elite wants to help people become better players, there’s still only one way to level up to new weapons, XP and prestige, and that’s to earn it in game.

When will launch details be released? Throughout the summer we will be talking about Elite in detail, so stay tuned for more information.

Who is Beachhead Studios? Beachhead is a new development studio, who is creating the Elite service for the Call of Duty franchise. We are entirely focused on making Elite the best gaming service in the world, and improving it every day. Our Beachhead Studio will be supporting our Call of Duty games throughout the year.

Is "findmakarov.com" real?

Picture
A screen released that shows (Shepard, LT, General) which was a enemy in Modern Warfare 2 who was killed
 UPDATE:Activision has said that both the dog tags and website is a hoax. The group "We Can Pretend" revealed a fan made trailer once the countdown went to zero on the find makarov site. Even thought the trailer was fake, it still got great feedback on how very similar it looked to call of duty. It had also received over 1,000,000 views.   
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A site under the name of findmakarov.com has been released.On this site contains a countdown that will end on wednesday.This countdown is for the GDC reveal of Modern Warfare 3.

"Find makarov" is referring to the villan "Makarov" from Modern Warfare 2 which is in fact still alive.Knowing that Makarov will be in the next call of duty game the rumors of a call of duty prequel are fake.The prequel would be about the character "Ghost" which would have a same story line as in the comics based on Ghost before the events of MW2.

The dog tag's above were sent by Activision.If you read on the top dog tag it say's "Shepard LT, general" who was a enemy in Modern Warfare 2, but under that it says "003-01-2011".What does this date mean? You can contact me if you have a theory.Maybe another trailer who knows.

You can see the countdown at "findmakarov.com".For now Get ready for Wednesday while we see what Infinity Ward will do to amaze us at GDC.
