Modern Warfare 3: 121 fan questions answered

14 October 2011

The Call of Duty community blog has compiled 121 questions that Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling has answered on Twitter.

The questions cover pretty much everything, from weapons and perks to CoD: Elite.

Here are some of the more interesting points to come out of the exercise, but head here if you want to go through all of them.

crecenteb: Does that include no Stopping Power as a Team Perk or just as a solo perk?

Robert Bowling: @crecenteb There is no Stopping Power period. We also have no such thing as ‘team perks’. All other #MW3 MP details remain undisclosed.

smashman206: Can u confirm if they are gonna be nukes or not?? I already pre-ordered but I would be very disappointed with no nukes….

Robert Bowling: @smashman206 Then I’m sorry, you may be disappointed, because there are no nukes in #MW3.

JabbaTheSmutt: Just the original MP5, then I shall play it forever… 🙂

Robert Bowling: @JabbaTheSmutt I’ve got good news for you, we ARE bringing back the original MP5 from COD4, updated visually of course for #MW3.

JGplaysguitar: Can you assure us that this game will be as good on ps3 as xbox? Unlike black ops… also please dumb down noob tubes.

Robert Bowling: @JGplaysguitar Yes, making sure that the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of #MW3 run at the same high standard and quality is extremely important.

Saxguy101: I’ve heard word that Infinity Ward is making the multiplayer for MW3, after all. Is this true?

Robert Bowling: @Saxguy101 Correct. Every aspect of #MW3 is being co-developed by Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games. SP / MP / Spec Ops included.

koedyb: By progressive ranking does that mean you get level rank like in MP?

Robert Bowling: @koedyburkel Yes sir, Spec Ops will have its own progressive ranking system allowing you to unlock weapons, gear, killstreaks #MW3 #survival

AKidNamedZak: If you pay for cod elite, wont that put the elite players at an advantage to the non-paying player during multiplayer gaming?

Robert Bowling: @AKidNamedZak No, every #MW3 player has access to the same weapons, perks, equipment. ELITE is a service out of the game.

djowatts: Sounds good. One thing I wanna know is if the paying subscribers will get any perks that give them in play superiority?

MrDubbot: Any and I mean any #grenade launchers in #mw3 and you’ve ruined the game and I won’t buy it! They’re not skillfull, fun or fair

Robert Bowling: @MrDubbot Grenade launchers are a valuable tool in modern arsenals. There is no doubt they need rebalancing from MW2, but not removal. #MW3

Mikey4800: I have 2 questions for MW3, will there be dolphin diving?! and i NEED more game modes for multiplayer! will there be any?

Robert Bowling: @Mikey4800 There’s no dive to prone in #MW3 but I can’t talk about MP specifics yet, but there are new modes.

xiStealth: Apparently there’s a killstreak called ballistic vests that gives your team 20% more health? what the fuck..

Robert Bowling: @xiStealth It’s a vest that comes in a care package that you can throw out for a teammate to put on. Great to support guy going for the cap.

AiMx_Joker: I seen that the level cap in MW3 is 80 now. Is it going to be easier or take up less time to level up?

Robert Bowling: @AiMx_Joker The curve is different and less of a grind at the end than it was in MW2

Singhx73: Will there be any disadvantage for using a grenade launcher?

Robert Bowling: @Singhx73 Yes, it’s fairly weak and doesn’t get much ammo. Not useful as a main weapon.

skinsfan314: Number of maps at release

Robert Bowling: @skinsfan314 16 maps on the disc and you eventually own the DLC after your subscription ends (if subscribed a year I believe).

Mrskidmark15: Are most of the maps inside or outside primarily?
Robert Bowling: @Mrskidmark15 There’s a good variety of both.

Bobthadestroyer: I was curious will #Mw3 have a Report cheaters/Boosters function in game like #Blackops? will you guys be Banning them for it?

Robert Bowling: @Bobthadestroyer yes and yes. We have an in-game report player function and will be moderating those reports to ban players.
