Official Modern Warfare 3 Ideas Thread

[EvilRip]

I didn't really make this thread because almost every thread in here is an idea thread, but because I know that our community has the BEST ideas (at times) and would really like to get our ideas out to Robert Bowling at IW.

How this will work: I'll keep this thread open for a while and constantly update this main post with ideas that you guys post separated into different pages. Please ELABORATE on your ideas and take time to make a well structured posts all 1 sentence posts and such will be deleted, this will be seen by IW (hopefully) so I want to show them exactly what the great minds on NGU are capable of.

If you don't have any ideas that you want to post, please take the time to go through the available ideas and "like" the ones that you think would work well, I'll add any idea with alot of likes into this post.

How we will contact IW: It's pretty obvious that Robert Bowling is very active on Twitter, so we're going to bomb him with a link to this thread You can see this as spamming but I see it as ensuring that our ideas are seen and acknowledged by IW.

If you've already made a thread about an idea of yours please repost it in this thread.

that would be interesting except i think it will take up too much of the screen and start to block your view. at least thats that happened when people started to advertise there hacks in the kill feed on cod4.

I hope that will be prevented by a security system to stop hacks. Otherwise, the icons would be minuscule. Besides, it's not everyday someone would get a wallbang multi-kill headshot collateral every second so it would clog up your feed or screen (doubt it).

the problem with your open private match is fags will name it 10th/15th lobby free to troll people. :smh: besides that good ideas.

Also, give us a timer for game modes to set, with specifics. Make it so you can adjust the limit, by minute. so bassically you can play a 1 minute game, a 2 minute game, a 3 minute game, a 69 minute game, ect.

Also, implement the unlimited time and score like in MW2. Ill go on private match with friends on unlimited time, but it ends due to score, which doesnt have an unlimited section.

So maybe instead of letting them name the lobby, the settings are shown, and that's all. Maybe they can add a good list of tags to title the lobby as.

I think that instead of people camping to get their chopper gunner, then immediately laying down behind a rock to use it, they have to make their way to a pick up zone or something.
This would be an area where a chopper could land or somehow pick up the player with a rope or something? I'm not saying making it virtually impossible to get to their killstreak but just give the other players a chance to add a death or two their enemy, and if the player who got the chopper died before making it to the pick-up, they would automatically spawn inside and in the sky like they normally would in any of the earlier CoD games. Then they could have a player they could invite to fly/gun the heli, like how someone said in a previous post.
This would highly reduce the chance of someone racking kills through killstreaks, plus evening out the risk/reward factor.

Oh and of course everyone wants more guns, camos, and attachments. Plus I loved the "Titles" from MW2, it'd be cool if you could also create your own, people could use it to rep other clans, or even their own. Or maybe just put something funny or cool in it, they'd give you the premade background or if they wanted they could include "customize backgrounds" similar to the Black Ops emblem creator.

Also, making the knifing more realistic, non of the quick flick of the wrist knife to a bulletproof vest and getting an instant kill. Shits ridiculous, I think it should be like CoD3 campaign where if you got into a melee fight with the NPC you had to click a series of buttons in order to get the upper hand and kill the enemy, I don't know if you have seen Saving Private Ryan but remember when that guy runs out of bullets and he charges the Nazi and they start wrestling while the American is laying on the floor with blood draining from his neck? Then eventually the guy gets killed with his own knife through the chest? Imagine if you could reenact that or do something similar? That would be ****ing sick!!

*1v1 SnD, both players are leaders of their team, all friendlies are dead, and they're dry on ammo. Spetnatz turns the corner to see a member of the SAS charging, "oh shit!" They click R3 at the same time and go into some kind of UFC tie-up, with each holding the enemies knife away from their chests, a series of buttons appear on screen and whoever click them first (we'll say SAS), knocks the other to the floor and jumps on top, and then a single button appears and you have to start spamming that specific button as fast as you can, a bar appears on top of the screen with a dial showing who is struggling harder, then when a player gets all the way to the opposite side of the bar (SAS again) a single random button appears, we'll say SAS clicks it first, and BAM! some weird arm maneuver performed by the SAS and the knife goes straight through the enemies chest resulting in a win for the SAS* Hahahah I can already imagine my friends screaming with excitement as they watch from the spectating screen. (No homo)
But, if they melee behind the enemies back then they would slit their throat or break their neck similar to Killzone 3.

One more thing, have CoD points, not necessarily for buying weapons or whatever, but make it just for customizing our characters, they had that option in MGS4 and I think that is the only reason I actually played because every time I saw my character I knew he was original to the rest. Balaclava plus beret ftw.
There was something else I was gonna include but I forgot what it was, damn, I'll post when I remember.

Found the Saving Private Ryan scene.
[TUBE]yuxpSSJBwW0[/TUBE]

I always thought that they should add a pickup zone for the controllable kill streaks

[noobtuber1212]

1.Take out noobtubers(I dont noobtube even though my name will make u think i do)
2.Put upgraded guns in.
3.Try to get rid of glitches.
and 4.Make it fun to play and not junk and angry moods.

DEDICATED SERVERS. ugh. With all the profit they make there's nothing aside from greed standing in between call of duty and dedi servers. -_-
BIG Leave-Game PENALTY, especially when quitting from losing team. For all those rage quitters. This would also help with how I also get put into a match where my team is already down by 100 and the other teams has dogs and a chopper gunner already active. Doesnt need to be as strict as halo as to where nobody can join in-game, but seriously..
No OMA. scavenger is enough.
NO LAST STAND! this is worse than noob tubes!!! Why is it still in Black Ops?? I kill somebody, it's extremely annoying for them to be able to still kill me and several more people.
Cooler, more useful kill-streaks.
Like BO, no kill streaks should count towards the next. No more get a harrier then ride it out to get a nuke.

MORE customization. I.E. let us customize camos or give us more, cooler, funnier, awesomer ones. Don't just give us gold.. that's not enough and getting old.
More player customization! Don't base our appearance off of perks. I know it makes more sense, but i like being able to tell if somebody is sniping by whether or not they have a gillie, and etc. Please at least do not base looks completely off of perks. Also let us customize! let us customize gear, body features, body art, clothing, etc. i.e. Brink, Uncharted 3 and Socom FTB2.
Keep the customizable emblem, but give us earned unlocks within the emblem. dont just simply let us buy all of the components, but let us earn the emblems that can be used in our custom emblems. i.e. let challenges unlock our emblem stuff - and give us cooler emblem abilities.
Same with titles.. maybe even customizable titles / backgrounds?
The more customization the better! everybody loves it.

Keep out the XP lobbies and infections. Similar but even better than BO.
more even team balancing! look at past performance and leader boards. also on the second game, why are the people with the top scores put on the same team? Makes no sense. MORE EVEN TEAM BALANCING!
keep the player card!
Keep noobtubes like they are in BO.

MORE GAME TYPES! I am SO TIRED of all the same TDM and Demolition and etc.
Wager Matches are nice, but should also be available via normal matches!
i.e. a branch-off of the normal FFA mode; gungame, etc. where it's not only betting - but actual normal game modes.
And give us more of these different game modes! an official community branch of game modes? like in halo..
give us an official Michael Meyers gametype?
More wager match- styled gametypes - except within the normal multiplayer lobby - not wagering.
TDM and FFA with only certain equipment.. i.e. explosives only, knives and tomahawks only, pistols only, etc.
Powerful secondaries again! maybe not as powerful as in mw2, but atleast fairly powerful.

MORE BALANCING in guns and perks and etc.
MORE and MORE guns- but not just weak guns that nobody will use! Make them balanced - with their own unique attachments, pros and cons.

some stealth in campaign?
at least one fun stealth mission?
at least one fun sniping mission? Maybe sky-top sniping.. from skyscraper to skyscraper, etc..

PLAYER - MADE MAPS!? like far cry 2, maybe a public match lobby for official game modes on custom maps..

Maps that more specifically aim for snipers. Am no huge sniper myself, but feel that a sniping-only map or two would be tons of fun!
A smaller, inclosed map?
Cooler maps that feel awesome, like dark night-time office buildings and alleyways - taking advantage of gunfire-lighting effects and etc.

Just some ideas off the top of my head... :0

[Plutonium-1]

sum a MW3 fanboy

[whitey775]

A sniper lobby so that snipers can play with people that wanna do the same thing as them. It will also stop people complaining about "try hards" and "nooby quickscopers"

[lordboy125]

take out ebr21 take out care package as ks put ac130 in it,...

[Arkaios]

I read something about custom camo's, that'd be awesome.
Also, recoil would be a pretty good idea. The only automatic gun with recoil in mw2 was the LSW LMG, or whatever it was called.

[zFOXYGRANDMAz]

This is a culmination of various things I have posted in other threads. I am just hoping IW sees it.

I'm new to forums and this is actually my first post but I have been reading into a lot of ideas from a lot of places.. First of all let me say I have yet to like one of Treyarch's games. WAW was a failed attempt to copy MW1's success and Black Ops was Treyarch completely over correcting the flaws with MW2. I loved and still love MW2 but the OMA noobtoobs, pain killer, and commando were bad. I do like how they tried abandoning overkill by instead giving a wide variety of secondarys; however, this promoted a lack of teamwork. By this I mean that shotguns were to tempting to use over stingers. Treyarch decided they would fix the problem by taking out everything that I just mentioned; however, that was a terrible idea because OMA has more functions than simply providing more noobtubes and there is still a need for good secondarys. In addition to this, Treyarch made killstreaks non-stackable to promote less camping. I think this did the exact opposite because now people camp more because more pressure to get kills by themselves has been applied.
Stackable killstreaks were never a problem. The problem was that no killstreaks were ever shot down. MW2 works fine with the killstreaks so long as someone shoots them down.
Bearing all of this in mind I have one more thing to say about Black Ops. Ghost has become the new stopping power. Treyarch took stopping power out for balancing issues. Thats all fine and dandy but when kill streaks are not stackable causing a vast majority of players to use the UAV ghost becomes abused. It is almost painful to have to choose a first perk in Black Ops because ghost seems like the most logical option. This contridicts MW2 where any first perk worked fine. Some would argue that stopping power in MW2 was a nessesity. I think this couldn't be further from the truth. Since killstreaks are STACKABLE cold blooded was a very viable option along with hardline. This allowed the player to take full advantage of the killstreak system.

OK... so that was necessary to understand my ideas, sorry it was so long.
One other thing.. equipment works like MW2 (no lethal plus equipment like BO)
PERK TIER 1:
1. Scavenger- replenishes ammo and special grenades. PRO 1- Extra ammo at start Pro 2- replenishes frag/semtex/knives(or whatever like thing they put)
2. Sit Rep- allows player to see enemy equipment. Pro 1- Enemies with the noobtube attachment guns will appear red like other equipment when within the range of the MW2 heartbeat sensor. Pro 2- players in the process of using OMA appear within this distance.
3. Overkill- Two primary weapons. Pro 1- faster weapon switching Pro 2- Faster equipment switching.
4. Marathon- Longer Sprint. Pro 1- Faster Climbing over walls, etc. Pro 2- Unlimited Sprint.
5. Hardline- Earn killstreaks one kill earlier. Pro 1- Allows for 2 killstreaks of the same numerical value to be used so long as its less than 8 required kills.(Attack Heli and Harrier can be used) Pro 2- Extra bullet damage on enemy killstreaks.
PERK TIER 2:
1. Cold Blooded- invisible to UAV Pro 1- Invisible to enemy thermal and killstreaks(excluding Black Bird) Pro 2- No red cross hair or name
2. One Man Army- (please do not hate me now and Robert Bowling may have said something about taking this out... I'm not sure; however, this is not how it worked in MW2) Replenishes ammo, equipment(any but only two total out at one time. for example 1 C4 1 Claymore or 1 Camera if it gets put in and 1 Claymore) Obviously also changes to another class in 5 seconds. Pro 1- 4 second change. Pro 2- Do not have the OMA backpack on back.(still seen by sit rep pro)
3. Flask Jacket- Same as Black Ops. Pro 1- Reduced enemy killstreak damage. Pro 2- Resets fuse on grenades when picked up.
4. Bling- Unlimited weapon attachments excluding noobtube and silencer. Also no impossible combinations. Pro 1- Noobtube can be added on. Combination must still be possible. Pro 2- Silencer can be added on. Combination must still be possible.
5. Steady Aim- Increased hip fire accuracy. Pro 1- No falling damage. Pro 2- Longer Breath for snipers.
6. Sleight of Hand- Same as MW2. Pro 1- Quicker ADS for all guns excluding snipers. Pro 2- Quicker ADS for snipers.
PERK TIER 3:
1. Lightweight- Same as MW2. Pro 1- Same as MW2. Pro 2- Faster knifing recovery.
2. Dead Silence- Same as Ninja in BO. Pro 1- Enemys are louder. Pro 2- Makes you completely silent.
3. Houdini- Appear slightly off actual position on enemy UAV or while firing a non-silenced weapon. Pro 1- Footstep noise player makes is reduced 50%(not completely silent like the ninja perk) Pro 2- For the first 3 seconds when you plant a bomb the enemy is informed the wrong target.
4. Scrambler- Same as MW2. Pro 1- Enemy equipment doesn't trip/detonate Pro 2- Allows user to turn enemy equipment friendly.
5. Danger Close- Explosives excluding noobtubes are more powerful. Pro 1- Launchers capable of locking onto enemy aircraft are un effected by flares from killstreak rewards requiring less than 7 kills. Pro 2- Extra killstreak damage.

This perk set up prevents the dreaded marathon lightweight ninja set up while still allowing marathon ninja or marathon lightweight for tactical games like search or rushers respectively. OMA is now a team support perk because it allows the user to switch to a launcher without having to forfeit the OMA perk and allows him/her to still acquire kill streaks via abused equipment. The OMA process would show up for Sit Rep pro users. Also OMA users are unable to switch to a Cold Blooded class and still maintain OMA as they did in MW2 due to the set up. This promotes the shooting down of killstreaks. For the fast paste players steady aim and sleight of hand are 2 perk options allowing for their use in combination with marathon and ninja respectively. Tactical players can now take advantage of scavenger and bling at the same time; however, they will have to opt out of cold blooded. This allows them to "tactically camp" while exposing them to killstreaks due to the inability to use cold blooded.

As you can see I have put a good deal of thought into this. Most of this has actually been based off of extensive demolition play in MW2 which in my opinion is the fastest paste game type with the most killstreaks. It is often played like team D but I play it to win so I understand the technicalities of the perks and their uses in a STACKABLE killstreak environment.

KILLSTREAKS: STACKABLE
3- UAV with a flare but still just as easy to shoot down with bullets.
4- Sentry Gun(the fact that you have to air drop it and it doesn't count towards the players killstreak call for it to be lower due to its supportive function.
4-Counter UAV with flare. cannot be shot down with bullets.
5- Precision airstrike (in my experience worse than Pred.)
5-Care Package
6- Predator Missile
7- Harrier with airstrike but no flare.
7-MW1 attack helicopter with flare.
7-Stealth Bomber(silent entry)
8- Emergency Airdrop
airstrike similar to Napalm in BO.
9- Pavelow 2 flares.. pilot can be shot by sniper
10- Black Bird 3 flares non replenishing
11- AC130 with 2 flares replenishing every 10 seconds
12- Chopper Gunner 1 flare replenishing every 7 seconds
13- EMP
15-??? Puts the user in a AC130 type view where he/she has as much time as desired to fire 3 predator missiles(click R-trigger to shoot and again to speed up); however, if user is killed while on laptop he/she is kicked out of the plane. Can't be shot down.
Emergency airdrops cannot contain Black Bird, EMP, or ???.
Care Package cannot contain EMP or ???. Also Black BIrd has a 1% chance of appearing.
EMP disables enemy equipment, radar, destroys killstreaks (not users like in MW2) and makes launchers unable to lock on.
Need a name for ???. It is very useful on game modes such as demolition because it gives a god view of the map with the ability to kill at any time.
Other idea: Game ending killstreak at 25; however, if selected only one other killstreak can be used.

THIS WAS BASED ON TEAMWORK AND PRESTIGEING... Ok so a lot of people have been complaining that COD is not played like a team game. I agree. I was wondering what y'alls ideas were? Here is mine.

Black ops kind of did this where to get pro perks the player was forced to plant bombs, etc. This was a good start; however, it was Black Ops which I think most would agree was a bad game that doesn't really seem to play right. I think Treyarch went wrong with two things here: 1) The currency system and 2) The challenges were much to easy to complete.

So my thoughts on #1.
The currency system allowed the player to buy any perk of their desire. This made it to where a lot of perks were never even bought or used in addition to the good ones being acquired and abused by many many players, for example Ghost.

Thoughts on #2
So you they player just bought ghost. 2000 COD points right? How long did it take you to get pro... Well you had to 1) kill 20 enemies while they had a UAV- easy... 2) Knife a Sentry Gun- just equip it yourself and give it to them... 3) Shoot down 30 enemy killstreaks- pretty easy considering almost everyone runs UAV. So this might take you 10 games tops and by then you have the money to buy pro. The only challenges that promoted teamwork were shooting down killstreaks- 30 OF THEM- and knifing ONE SENTRY GUN. Now theres a team player.

So for MW3:
I was thinking that the way we unlock stuff goes back to the old days of leveling up; however, COD's appeal has always been its vast amount of customization. I also think there has always been two types of players: the ones that get the kills and the ones that do the dirty work to capture/plant/shoot down stuff, granted there is the occasional player that posses all of these traits. Black Ops currency system did give the player a lot of choices, but it was to much choice. I think that MW3 unlocks should be based on this premise: Firstly the privilege to unlock a gun is acquired through leveling up; however, to actually get it I think the player should have a "kill bank" instead of currency. Secondly the privilege to get non-pro perks is the same as MW2 and MW1-just level up. The catch is that the perk branches out into two pro perk options allowing the player the decision on where to go with the perk. To get Pro perks one must complete team tasks and the challenge must be difficult.

So for the guns lets use MW2 as an example. Every one would start out with the basic guns: Famas, UMP, etc. THESE GUNS ARE GOOD so before you say awe if kills get you guns then this really hinders team players, ALL PLAYERS WILL HAVE GOOD GUNS AND I DO NOT DOUBT THAT IW HAS PUT GOOD GUNS IN THE BEGINNING. This means that low levels can still compete with high ones. So you have leveled up to level 8. The SCAR becomes available for purchase. Lets say it would require 150 kills for purchase. Not to easy but not to hard. The process would go on as such with increasing difficulty to get the required kills. In the meantime you can work on perks.... Also bear in mind you are not obligated to purchase the SCAR.

For Perks lets used Cold-Blooded as an example: at level 25 you would get Cold-Blooded and all of the basic benefits from it automatically In this case just invisible to UAV. Then it would branch into two separate pro versions each requiring an extensive team play challenge. Lets say Pro Perk 1 was no red name or cross hair when targeted.. This may take 200 enemy aircraft shot down, a challenge with no Pavelow glitch. Pro perk 2 would be Invisible to enemy killstreaks and thermals. This would take lets say 50 bomb plants and 20 bomb defuses. However, you are only allowed one of the unlocks. Also lets say that you shoot down 200 kill streaks before defusing 20 and planting 50. You do not automatically get it, you must choose it.
Now I know your probably thinking: The second option far out weighs the first and i completely agree. Every perk would have the "obvious option". This is where the prestige topic coms into play. Its has always been since WAW i believe that for all your hard work for prestigeing you get an extra create a class. Most of the time the reward came with every other prestige. My thoughts are this: Prestige once and get the ability to have both pro perk options for two perks of your choice. Depending on how many perks there are would determine how the pattern of rewards goes up until the highest prestige. At the same time the player would also receive extra create a classes.
THIS WAS A REPLY TO THE POST ABOVE TO A FRIEND OF MINE THAT ASKED THE FOLLOWING QUESTION.............SAVAGEGRANDPA, on 19 July 2011 - 02:09 PM, said:
So you said that the currency system was a flaw, which bases getting things by way of money earned from kills and other achievements. You also provided the idea of a "kill-bank system". Now wouldn't these two systems be quite similar? You earn money to buy guns by killing people, and then you achieve kills for you "kill-bank" in order to buy guns. Just curious on what you thought about that.

Thats an excellent question random person that I do not not but I am happy you asked it. I am sorry I was not clear enough in my post, it was written quickly. Since the guns in Black Ops were unlocked by level the currency system somewhat worked for them; however, the currency system did not work for perks because of the reasons I stated above. I am not sure but I think Treyarch attempted to use the perchasing of guns as a means to balence the currency system so not all of the perks could be bought quickly. It was a decent idea, I just think that mine is better which I will elaborate on now...

Earlier i mentioned that I believe there are two types of players: those that get killstreaks and those that do the dirty work. I am not saying that either is better because killstreaks provided by teammates help those that do the dirty work. The "kill-bank system" is basically currency yes but I just felt there was more satisfaction in knowing exactly what you need to do to get a gun instead of a game score based currency. You may or may not agree which I respect. This system also rewards the killstreak player because obviously they are getting the kills.. The balancing factor is that the dirty work players get the good pro perks.. My system, in my opinion leads to a community of players getting both killstreaks and dirty work stuff. I may be wrong.

In addition to this, I did not feel the need to add it earlier but since you kind of lead to it I will, weapon attachments will be similar to MW2 in the ways by which they were unlocked with one minor change: the shotgun attachment is not unlocked by noobtubes.

Also for the kill bank system: noobtube kills do not count; car bombs and other explosions brought about by a noobtube will. I believe a noobtube is a necessity in the game because it helps deal with campers.

Keep up the good posts I'll update the main post soon
