Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Vs Black Ops

Which of the two latest installments of the Call of Duty franchise is the best first person shooter video game? Call of Duty: Black Ops was released on November 9, 2010 and has grossed more than 650 million dollars in just 5 days after its release date. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be released on November 8, 2011 and hopes to also garner the same amount of sales or even best that of Black Ops. Both video games are definitely action packed blockbuster experiences, but the only thing left to know now is whether the Call of Duty fans will welcome what Modern Warfare 3 will offer.
The two Call of Duty video games are set in different times. Black Ops begins in the 1960s where its storyline takes place in locations such as Russia, Cuba, Hong Kong, Laos, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, and the Arctic Circle. You can choose from a variety of game modes such as its campaign which has a very interesting and historical storyline; multiplayer mode which you can play online and on a LAN, and a zombie survival mode. The weapons used in this installment are a variety of handguns, machine guns, and explosives that have all been used during the Cold War.

Modern Warfare 3 takes place in the modern day spanning the globe. You will see action in India, Dubai, Paris, London, and even in Manhattan. It has a very compelling storyline as seen in some videos of its campaign that were initially leaked on YouTube. Other game modes are also available such as the multiplayer and of course, a zombie survival mode. You should have no problem mowing down enemies since all the weapons in your arsenal are the most modern weapons used in the world today.
The campaign of Black Ops revolves around a SOG and CIA operative named Alex Mason. Flashbacks of his past experience during the Cold War each come back to him as he is questioned by certain CIA operatives. These flashbacks are then retold as you play Alex Mason reliving those events. You'll be thrown into different kinds of missions from several time periods involving sabotage, stealth, raid, and infiltration. You'll be using weapons from machine guns to crossbows to defeat your enemies and accomplish your mission objectives. You won't only be working on dry land; you'll also be making your way through jungles and snow.

Modern Warfare 3 stands up to Black Ops with its campaign. You get to play 4 characters wherein you will fight as a Delta Force operative and a new Call of Duty character named Frost, as a SAS operative, a Russian Federal Protective Service agent, an AC-130 gunner, and as a tank gunner. This installment from the Call of Duty Series begins right after where Modern Warfare 2 ends. Russia has just attacked the United States through the Hudson River in New York. You'll be on the edge of your seat with the game's 15 globetrotting missions. This video game will definitely make you want more.

It is almost guaranteed that you and your friends will discover memorable times with both multiplayer game modes. Black Ops offers a great shooting multiplayer game that gives a player many chances to win. Call of Duty points have been added along with the ranking option for enhancing your gear. Instead of just waiting to get promoted so you can unlock things, CoD points allow you to get hold of certain perks and accessories for the beginning stages. Rankings or promotions are still important because it unlocks more useful and powerful things than what the CoD points offer. You can obtain more CoD points from in-game features such as contracts and wagers. These are challenges and deals that you make that will provide you with more points.
And before entering yourself in multiplayer with experienced gamers, you can choose to play in Combat Training first. It is a basic tutorial about the maps and weapons of the game where you can practice everything without the fear of continuously dying (solo, bots, friends and bots). It somewhat replaced the deathstreaks feature that provided not so good gamers with certain power-ups in Modern Warfare 2. The game has also made 3 categories for gear which are lethal, tactical, and equipment. More advanced killstreak benefits can now be used such as gunship attacks, remote exploding cars, napalm strikes, and much more. Limited edition special weapons are also made available in care packages such as the death machine and the grim reaper. And lastly, additional perks are available for the purpose of getting the upper hand such as sabotaging your enemy's perks.

The multiplayer mode of Modern Warfare 3 offers a more balanced game play for everyone because of the rewards for different play styles. Killstreaks have been renamed as pointstreaks where earning rewards will not only be based in killing your enemies for a number of consecutive times but will also be in completing certain game objectives. Pointstreaks offer 3 packages that you can use based on how you play. These packages are the assault package, the support package, and the specialist package.

The assault package is for those players whose play style revolves in getting up-close to their enemies and like to deal direct damage. Rewards range from seeing your enemies in the mini-map for 3 straight kills to being the Osprey gunner that delivers the care packages when you kill your enemies 17 consecutive times. The support package is for those whose play style is more of a support, no kidding. The streak doesn't end even if the player is killed and the rewards you obtain from it supports your team overall. 4 kills will give your team the ability to locate your enemies on the mini-map and killing 18 enemies will provide your team with EMP, juggernaut recon, or an escort airdrop. The specialist package is for more experienced gamers whose rewards come in the form of enhanced perks. These rewards are given to you when you kill 2, 4, and 6 enemies consecutively while having 8 kills gives you all the rewards that you've chosen. And lastly, the deathstreaks have been returned in this installment of the CoD series.

The weapons offered in the game total 40 which are all being used and tested by Special Forces today. There is a new feature that offers you the ability to unlock attachments, reticules, camouflages, and improve weapon proficiency for your weapon through leveling up. Some of the weapon proficiencies offered are reduced recoil when firing or kick, and reduced swaying of your weapon while aiming down your sights or stability. Attachments vary with different weapon classes regarding their type and how many attachments you can add.

Modern Warfare 3 may not be out yet, but overall gameplay appear to have all been improved. Black Ops has made record sales in November 2010 because of its different gameplay from the earlier CoD games. Which Call of Duty installment does indeed stand over the other? Some gamers still say COD4 Modern Warfare is the one to beat. We will just have to wait 'til November 8, 2011 to know which first person shooter game will rise to the top for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 vs. Black Ops.
