Question Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

[Avares]

Hello. I'm thinking to buy Call of Duty MW3 early but i don't know when i will be able to play the game for pc and for how long.
I say "for how long" because they say that it will be for 2 wekend, but i don't know like for 2 days or it will be released for PC in the time period of a weekend.
I am talking about early beta.
Or in simple words if i buy the game now will i be able to play multiplayer ?
I just don't understand very well the whole picture.

And sorry if is a mistake in the typing but english is not my native language.

Does this help?

For the crossplay Beta – so this is where Xbox and PC players can get involved alongside PlayStation users – those who pre-order can play together from 12th to 13th October 2023.

And everyone - whether you've pre-ordered or not - can get an early slice of the action from 14th to 16th October 2023. Every beta begins at 6pm UK time and ends at 6pm UK time on its respective dates.

Tanks's for the reply.
But because my english is not very good i whanna ask:
People can try the game for 2 days and after that they will not be able to play the game until oficial relise date (which is november the 10th),or depend of the contry they are(and the time zone) they will receive access in the time period of 2 days.

I think dates I showed are for the entire world. It didn't mention different countries apart from a time it started.

Expect a lot of crashes and disconnects. If you don't experience any that's great.

Why to expect that?

Seams to be a regular phenomenon with freshly released games. Had plenty of issues with the previous 2 releases at hear for the first month or two. Takes a bit of time to get the bugs worked out.

Oh.You talking about that.I know.This is whit many new released games.
I ask because i tink that you speak about someting in specific...like a problem for sure.
The game developer most of the time release the game in "almost" finish condition.And after that in the next 2-3 mounts fix the bugs whit paches.

if at all.

I don't like the way games are released broken and only fixed after release. I am old enough to remember before the internet. Game broken on release, tough luck... get it right before releasing games. Now... why try, people accept this is how it is now... I wish they wouldn't.

 

[Avares]

That's true.Back in the days the game was released as it should.Now it's all about the money.The game developer don't care about the gamers anymore.
I to remeber the time before the internet and in that time the "patch" don't exist because there no internet so the people can download the fix.And that is one of the reason way the develpers make the game as it should.And the time was just different.
About why somebody accept the situation...because they don't have any choise.That is what they sale you and you have to take it or you will not be able to play.I don't expect this situation to change.

You do have a choice. If enough people chose not to buy broken games, companies would have to at least try to change. Accepting it as how it is, will mean it will never change.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice to get what you want. Broken games aren't worth buying at launch, smart move is to wait a few years and get them then. The games likely fixed by then or in their final state.

 

[Avares]

Well...if you put it that way...then ok,BUT people will not stop buying new games because of the bugs and in reality you can't change anything.This is what really happening and will continue to happen.
As for that "wait a few years"...no bad feeling but this is ridiculous.Nobody will wait for so long.Few mounts yes,but not few years.It's just to much.
I tink what people should do is to writh angry coments in public,and if enave people do that for long period of time maybe someting will change...but i am shure that will not going to happened.Gamers just wont do it.
And in reality the games will be relise and after 2-3 mounts they will be fix whit patches,or at least playable enave.

 

[Colif]

There are people who are patient enough to wait before buying games. I know one person who does wait years. It doesn't work for games that are online only as the servers disappear after a while. That just perpetuates the problem as people get FOMO and buy broken games just not to miss out.

Its probably too late now. You are right... but I still don't like it.

 

[Avares]

OK tanks for all the reply.Let's hope that the launch of the game and the game itself will be at least close to the quality that it should be.

 

[Avares]

I try the beta and it crash 2 times.First time show some driver eror,the second just some regular crash.I continue to play and for the 8 hours of gameplay i din't have any problems...so i will say it's pretty good for a beta.
The problem is that i regret that i bye it because i am disapointed from the game mode "ground war".]
I just don't like that map "popov plant".
Can somebody tell me if i can refund the game on battle net.
