Since the game was first released, Modern Warfare 3 has been under fire from its users in regards to the maps being far too messy. Not graphics wise, but literally, these maps are a total mess. Many of the maps have so much clutter and trash lying around, it’s hard to see at a distance.
Now, I understand we’re in the middle of a war in this game. But even previous maps for past Modern Warfare games appeared as though there was a war going on, and had much less trash lying around. It looks as though each map has already had the MOAB (Mother of All Bombs) go off within it. This can make things more difficult at times. I’ve noticed a lot of people tend to lay down among the garbage, becoming virtually camouflaged within the mess. Not only are you slightly infuriated when you realize you were just shot by Oscar the camper who enjoys living in a giant pile of crap for entire matches, but it definitely puts a damper on the game itself when you put things into perspective and come to the conclusion that not only is that guy a wimp, but these maps I paid 60 dollars to play on are completely filthy.
If this game were truly realistic to its core, I’d be concerned for my guys health. Not just because he’s getting shot at all the time, but he’s also at high risk for dysentery, and some bladder issues since he’s constantly running around in garbage. I’ve taken notice to so many random items lying around during matches, that it becomes distracting and leaves me wondering why someone took so much time to incorporate such filth into these maps.
At the end of the day I still love this game, and I’m completely addicted. However, I have high hopes that when the new maps are released, they’re at least slightly less dirty than ones we have now. Please?
Does anyone else feel as though you’ve just arrived in grouchland when a match starts? What are your opinions on the matter? Let us know!
i agree way overcrowded , no good sniping maps to many camping spots. please release a map pack soon
Weren’t we told earlier on that the maps for MW3 would be made to reduce ‘Campers’? All this clutter makes for perfect hiding spots. Players ‘blend’ in with these, camo or no camo.
and make said map pack free
we need a sniper map.
when you have smaller map ppl have no choice but to camp when it comes to lagers not everybody believes in running around 99% of the time to be shot over and over again
the map design in mw3 suck the only good ones are seatown and dome IMPO
The maps in MW3 are fine, ppl just complaining for no reason. The only thing I would say is that all seem to be on the smallish side, on MW2 I loved the large maps like ‘Afghan’, Wasteland’, ‘Quarry’, etc.. great for sniping and tactical play.
The problem isn’t the maps….it’s that you’re playing call of duty..
I have to agree. It seems with every new iteration of COD the series gets more popular and more controversial. Many of the game’s featured gameplay mechanisms are starting to show their age, the engine too is very old. Based on Quake 3 Open Source. IW went on record and said they didn’t rewrite the engine for MW3, but then they also said there was no more Quake 3 code. But I see the videos for MW3, and the rendering looks identical to the old games so it doesn’t appear any major modifications were done.
I believe the worst aspect of COD games are the multiplayer maps. They are so small it doesn’t take that long for a somewhat proficient player to exploit blind spots. In BlackOps the developers added “vengeance code” which would make the guy you just killed spawn behind you. That just isn’t fair. It sounds like the developers are using garbage to balance the fact that the maps are not big enough for people to flank effectively. The trash limits view when in defensive positions (making those positions not as effective).
And I haven’t even brought up the issues with Lag, Cheats, Exploits, Glitches, etc. etc.
This is why I prefer Battlefield (and I was a long time COD fan). COD is really just running around in circles and dying or killing (if the COD Gods have graced you with an acceptable connection). The whole gameplay generally benefits those who kill. Killstreaks beget more kills so in this sense they make the gameplay benefit those who win with more tools to win. At a certain point in a COD based game if you are loosing you will continue to lose (more often than not).
On the other hand in BF3 I have helped turn around many matches. In a COD match the winning team can get cocky and sloppy, they always have a KillStreak to rely on. Not so in Battlefield, where benefits to gameplay are not dictated by AI kills, but by using the tools and the kits available in a smart fashion.
My 2 cents.
I literally thought I wrote this as I COMPLETELY agree with you as I was also A COD fan. I’ve owned only 1 game a year. MW2 imo is the best. I love Cod for that quick free 4 all, arcadey feel. BF3 is for huge scale, realistic war. BF3 literally opened my eyes to the meaning of True warfare. HUGE maps. superior sound effects, and don’t get me started on tanks, choppers, jets, claymores on buggy’s
Jumping out of jets in mid air only to rpg the jet that was following you, then safely falling back into you jet! 
Yeah….http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FOaGhE_sejI
I keep looking for cookie monster
Maybe they’re doing it on purpose, now you have to pay an additional 20$ for another set of maps.
BIG MW3 Fan then check out : http://www.werungaming.com – On the whole Map issue though I like them a lot although I do wish we could have some really big scale maps like we had on WaW.
Stop trying to make BF3 better by talking trash, is not going to work…very easy don’t buy it .
Your content is centered. Can you left align it?
I could.. but where’s the fun in that?!
lol y should it be left aligned… but yea the maps arent that bad i see what the articles talking about like that 1 african map way 2 much crap.
The only time I’ve heard of the maps being messy, from anyone, anywhere, is from reading this stupid article, The article reflects more of your own opinion than it does the communities.
I didn’t write this off the top of my head, I ask for opinions from other gamers and this was a common one. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Actually, I’ve heard this complaint numerous times and have complained about it myself. I’m thinking that maybe you just don’t play enough or play with enough people to have actually heard THE MAPS ARE A CLUTTERED MESS repeatedly.
COOL
And i want to put my wiener in KellyJ’s punani
Hey im not saying cod sucks but im talking to guy below ……UR just a fucking n00b
