So the other day I was bored and decided to play Modern Warfare 2. I go back to that game when I don't really have any other games to play or can't think of anything else to do. As I was playing it a few days ago, I realized that I think I could go for another Modern Warfare style game. Mind you, I didn't play Black Ops, so I haven't filled my year with first person shooting. So... does this make me one of them? Am I a bad person for wanting another Modern Warfare?

No you are not. Modern Warfare was a fantastically tight game and it's a shame that for some reason it wasn't so future proof. It really could do with a refresh and there is no doubt they are going to knock it out of the park.

However, I'm only interested in Battlefield 3 but I don't want it to "BEAT" CoD because they are both good and fun for different reasons.

Yes it's the equivalent of killing a homeless person.

no you are not a bad person, those games are fun

You are not a bad person, you just found yourself in a dark, sad place and even though you may think it is, Modern Warfare 2 is not the solution.

The thing is, journalist will find it easy to get tired of modern military shooters and be a part of the 'backlash' because there are a lot of them being released and they are constantly having to play them for their jobs. Consumers don't buy or play every game. I haven't played a military shooter in a long time, so I am more than ready to pick one up. The Battlefield 3 Alpha is great. If you are tired of military shooters, and keep on buying them then it's your problem. If you don't buy them and still complain, you need to spend more time playing games than looking at the ones you aren't going to buy.

I'm not blaming journalists of course. I'm just saying they are over exposed to the full tide of games with similar settings, premise and mechanics. Not a position everyone else is in.

I'm depending on people like you to buy MW3 and keep BF3 in 3rd/4th place (against mw3, gears3 and halo). if it reaches number one, the franchise as we know it will die
 
please do go for mw3 and enjoy it :D

Nah, you're not evil.  If you haven't been gorging yourself on FPS games all this time and skipped the last COD offering, it's perfectly reasonable to want another.  And Activision wants you to want another, so it's a win-win situation.  Of course, don't forget this this MW3 comes after the whole Infinity Ward debacle.  We'll see if the game is just more-of-the-same or if it adds enough newness to be called a proper successor to MW2.  Now, if by "one of them" you mean a lowbrow, knuckle-dragging, troglodyte who communicates primarily through belches and farts, then yes, it does make you one of them.  Isn't that the image we have of people who play Call of Duty these days?  Stop worrying about your gamer-cred and just enjoy the games you enjoy.

I want MW3 too.

I'm in the same place you are. When I have nothing else to do I often go back to play little bits of MW2, and probably would want another MW game. But SF x T, a whole host of collection games, and SF3 say hello to me, and I cannot deny their welcome.

No, I mean for all the shit everybody gives that game, it's a very fun game. I would say go for Black Ops, It's a really good game and is set at a cool time.

Wanting more Modern Warfare is fine. 
Selling an incrementally better game for full retail price is a bit dickish.

I had my fill of those games after i played COD4, but to each their own. They do sell like hot cakes, and most people seem to find the multiplayer amongst the best in the business. 
 
I don't, but again, to each their own.

I think I want you.

Doesn't make you a bad person.

You should have played Black Ops though. It's the best of them.

@Kyreo: I don't want Modern Warfare 3 because it looked like they swapped a few textures in MW2 and called it MW3. The flipping M to make WW3 was also pretty heinous. However, I may consider picking it up if that horde mode thing is any good.

Dear friend. I believe you are missing my point. I think those things are bad and you are justified in feeling that way, but what I meant was, I could play MW2 again and if they wanted to resell it to me with some new guns and shit, I would be okay with that. I don't like that I want that game. I am no better than the Frat boys that "get smashed and play COD."

I got Call of Duty fatigue during the Black Ops campaign. Maybe because I play them on Veteran, maybe because I ended up playing too many hours of the multiplayer, but somehow I just got bored. Which is why, ironically enough, I am looking forward to Battlefield 3. I want the same, but different. And I haven't played a Battlefield game seriously since Battlefield 2 and having tried Bad Company 2 recently, I realized I miss the size of those maps because I'm a sniper at heart.

Still, the Modern Warfare games by themselves have been pretty damn awesome and it wouldn't surprise me if this one is equally good.

No, my MW2 disc wont work anymore. But I like playing CoD for like a quick 2-3 games everyone once an a while. It's the only game I can hop in and get into a game quickly. The other take too long to start, and reach has become unplayable unless your with your clan or play it everyday.

I really like Modern Warfare, so I'm actually eagerly waiting for MW3. I played Black Ops and thought it was fine, but didn't manage to keep me entertained after finishing the campaign. I tried the BF3 alpha and that game is not for me. I just don't like it, I find it boring and dull.

So, yeah, I want a new MW too.

This generalisation makes you more of a bad person than CoD ever will.

Feeling bad for wanting a game because you think it makes you into something other than yourself - who just wants to play something he finds fun - also makes you a bad person.

Dude, don't let assholes on the Internet ruin it for you. Call of Duty is fun. Enjoy it.

I wonder when we will finally have enough Call of Duty.

Its going to be more of the same, and if theres a MW4 it better be totally different, but for now im ok playing more MW

I'd go for MW3 too if the price wasn't 60 dollars, but hey what can ya do? also blops was pretty rad, although it was the first call of duty I ever played so...

Of course not , you're just another "forever alone" nerd { just like me} .......

@Kyreo: No, you want another decent game. That doesn't necessarily mean you want MW 3.

You may have a point.

Yes.

The direction Battlefield went is because Call of Duty is so successful in the first place. Nice logic you have going there.

I only rented BLOPS and I still feel tired of those games.

Well, becoming number 1 will make DICE streamline the franchise more than you can humanly imagine there's no winning this is there?

No winning for you, anyway. :D

But they're all Modern Warfare style nowadays.

Moderner warfare: Modernest warfare ever.

Oh, I too would love another Modern Warfare game.

It's just that my idea of a Modern Warfare game involves the CoD4 and MW2 team.
