Infinity Ward bringing back focus on gunplay in Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer

Infinity Ward feels that the introduction of killstreak rewards to the Call of Duty franchise may have taken the focus on actual gunplay in multiplayer sessions, so they're trying to make shooting people a bigger part of how players get kills in Modern Warfare 3. This according to executive producer Mark Rubin.

 

"I think we lost a bit of focus in CoD4," he confided. "[In Modern Warfare 3] we wanted the actual gunplay to be a bigger part of the primary way you’re getting kills."

 

To that end, Infinity Ward wants to make killstreak rewards act as more of bonus and not a tool used primarily to win a match. This will likely result in the nerfing of many game-ending and otherwise overly powerful killstreak rewards.

 

This decision sounds like it ties in nicely with the development team's renewed focus on striking a perfect balance between authenticity and "holy shit moments" not only in the single-player campaign but it multiplayer as well. As Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg puts it, "We want every muscle in your body tense; we want your knuckles white, we want your pupils dilated every time."

maybe actually sort out the hit detection then maybe people will start using guns to kill people with. and get rid of fucking second chance, that perk is fucking rediculous, when i shoot someone in the head i expect them to die instantly not be able to shoot back

Agreed! Totally agreed!
The hitboxes in any CoD above 5 are ridiculous.
Second chance is also annoying because you might think they are dead when they aren't.
So really the only way you can play without dying is through cheap tactics not involving your gun.

A lot of people might survive gunshots to the head, but normally they are in comas, unable to move, etc.
Also about hitboxes... you can shoot someone in the foot and get a headshot or shoot where someone was and kill them. ;-)
