Modern Warfare 3

Not sure how everyone else feels, but i've yet to find any of the maps to be that great. Resistance is alright along with maybe a couple others....but it doesn't seem like there's a bunch of variety between them as far as site or location goes. Might be just me.

All the maps are very similar, just different visuals. Very tight, almost no open space. You have to play at a much slower pace than in black ops because sprinting is almost always punished by someone camping around one of the many corners. Not sure whether the necessity of a slower pace is a good or bad thing.

A couple other thoughts....

-Finally got logged into elite this morning. The features are okay. Glad to get my 2 hours of 2XP. I thought Elite was going to feature true clan support, ala Halo 2, where you could level up as a clan and such, but I can't figure out how to start a clan. Right now I can only search for existing clans.

- I'm kind of frustrated that IW has essentially given the middle finger to objective players. No HC objective gametypes, and the in-game scoreboards do nothing to encourage people to play the objectives the way they are supposed to be played. I like in Black ops how captures, defuses, plants, etc. were shown on the in-game scoreboard. That way, at least if some guy was going 70-5 by being a kill farming a-hole, at least you could see it. Or conversely if somebody was going 7-30, but helping the team to win by planting bombs as they took all those deaths, everyone could see it. Now all that shows up is kills, assists and deaths. IW has made it pretty clear that they feel that K/D ratio is the only stat that should matter in their games, and people adjust their play accordingly, which negatively affects the play style in the demolition, HQ and sabotage games.
 
Just beat the campaign. It was wayyy too short. Each mission took me 20 min tops.

On veteran?

I finished it on veteran yesterday and it took me 7 1/2 hours, with about 30 minutes of that being spent to go back and redo almost the entire Mogadishu mission after my power went out when I was just about a minute away from the end. Since I hadn't saved it at any point during the mission, it made me start back from the beginning.

Played on Hardened to get the gist of the story. Didn't go after intels or take my time. Ran through the missions.
 
Village has the elevation change/cave unlike most maps, which is cool...but the other half of the map is terrible.

I don't care much for any of the maps ATM...too small
 
I just get frustrated with almost all of my deaths being either from the side or in the back. Stuff like that has always been in CoD or in any online shooter for that matter.....but it seems way, way more prevalent in this game. I'm sure the map design has something to do with that.

Hopefully they they will bring a few of the older maps back from MW2 & black ops. Is the Elite feature working for anybody yet?

I bought Elite but have yet to use it

Just be glad it came with free maps and other DLC for a year, because the rest of the service flat out doesn't work. The servers have a complete inablility to handle the traffic from the subscriptions. What a bunch of garbage. I've tried probably 50 times over the past week to log in and have literally made it through to the site 2 times. At least I made it through to accept the terms of use and cash in my 2 hours of 2xp. I'm not sure how much I'll use the online stat features, but for $50 it would be nice if it worked as advertised.
 
I used my two hours of double XP as soon as I logged in. I did it more for the DLC than anything

Me too, but I also wanted to at least check out the online features. I haven't had any luck logging in other than those couple times I was able to get into the site, but even then it seemed to have pretty limited functionality.

When I try to complete registration with the email link I get some kind of "error 500" but when I run the ps3 app it logs me in to the first page.
