I do not have any immediate plans on getting MW3. I'll admit, I have gotten a lot of CoD game in the past, such as:


 * Call of Duty
 * Call of Duty: Finest Hour
 * Call of Duty 2
 * Call of Duty 2: Big Red One
 * Call of Duty 3
 * Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
 * Call of Duty: World at War
 * Call of Duty: Modern Warfar 2
 * Call of Duty: Black Ops

I think CoD 4 was the last CoD game I really enjoyed, though the singleplayer campaign was far too short. I had a lot of fun playing multiplayer with my mates, and, in my opinion, when compared to its successors, was the most well-rounded game.

World at War, MW2, and especially Black Ops were not very enjoyable for me. The singleplayer campaigns were neither fun nor interesting. Multiplayer was worse, as I did not find it at all enjoyable.

MW3 looks to be much the same. A boring singleplayer campaign, and a repetitive and infuriating multiplayer system. Plus, this "Call of Duty ELITE" thing is a terrible idea, optional or not. It's just one step closer to a monthly extra charge for playing CoD.

Despite all that, the main reason I've no immediate plans to get MW3 is that I have my eyes on a few other games. I've already put my pre-order in for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and I wouldn't mind having a go at RAGE and Assassin's Creed: Revelations. Also, not to start a flame war, but I am rather keen on getting Battlefield 3, as I found the beta to be rather impressive and generally enjoyed playing it.

If a good amount of my mates get MW3, and they say it's really good, then maybe I'll borrow it from one of them. If it turns out that I enjoy it, then it's a possibility that I'll get it, but that won't be for at least a couple months after its release.
