The mother of all shooters is about to hit and PTOM’s November issue has intel straight from the Call of Duty team on the changes to online multiplayer. We’ve got tips on strategy and tactics from Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer, as well as a sneak peek at two maps. It’s everything you’ll need to dominate in Modern Warfare 3 from day one…unless you’re like us and lack the ability to aim. Thank god for the noob tube…
If modern war doesn’t have enough shooting to satisfy your trigger finger, how about a good ol’-fashioned American crime spree? We’ve got Saints Row: The Third’s Super Genius Man-Cat Professor Genki with an exclusive tour of the violence-ridden city of Steelport. It’s the wackiest spin on the open-world crime game that we’ve seen since….well, never. Honestly, in what other game can you fire a weapon that shoots a mind-controlling octopus that you can detonate for wide-scale destruction? Or call in an airstrike to take out rival gang members? There’s even a controller button dedicated to delivering nutshots! It’s outrageous—in that special, tasteless way we so adore.
Rounding out the issue, we’ve got big-time previews of THQ’s brawlers WWE ‘12 and UFC Undisputed 3, hang out with platform pals in Rayman Origins and Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, and take spin in Ridge Racer: Unbounded. We’ve also got the final verdict on the latest PlayStation releases including Resistance 3, Dead Island, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, NHL and Madden 12, and the oh-so-special Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection.
We’ve also got first looks at Borderlands 2 and our new gamegal crush with Lollipop Chainsaw. PTOM is on newsstands September 27th and hitting subscribers mailboxes right now. Enjoy!

Hmmm, wonder what it means now that supportive posts are rolling in very shortly after east coast school hours end…LoL.
Hmmm….interesting.
Are the article and the magazine cover a late April Fools’ joke or something?
Strategy? Tactics? Aiming? In Call of Duty? I can’t figure if I should break out in mind numbing laughter or shake my head and pity anybody who thinks aiming, strategy or tactics actually exist in COD games.
Quote, Roger Burchill:
“The “mother of all shooters” line basically refers to the fact that Modern Warfare games sell a bazillion copies. Innovation, quality, historical impact are separate issues.”
Lmao, couldn’t have said it better myself
i cant wait ! its a great game if you dont like it dont play it ,, simple

Do you actually think that a game is better cause more people(Kids) buy it? You must be one of those who read IGN crappy reviews to know if a game is good or not.
Real gamers dont need reviews, they just know, when a game is good. Battlefield series, so far, on console, they had been amazing. New engines, new graphics, new weapons, new enviroment, etc.
-What has COD done? Same engine since MW1. n1c3. And everyone saying, !! OMG!!! LOOK THOSE GRAPHICS!!!(Wich are the same, with a different enviroment)
-Strategy? Dont make me laugh please.. COD means, pressing L3 and R1 at the same time. Thats it.
Battlefield has always offered more things, and better gameplay than COD (Consoles) since BFBC1.
– Fact that i hate a lot about Activision and people who doesnt even understand about it, are FPS (frames per second)
¨Our game run at 60 FPS¨ WHO GIVES A *****? Of course it will run @60 fps, im sure that my router can run it… saying that, and people answering, ohhh 60 fps, wow!! that makes a game better… just anoy me A LOT.
FACT:
Battlefield has always been a BETTER game than COD. Because COD has a bigger fan base doesnt mean is better.
Same thing happens with LOL and DoTA.
Same thing happens…. with PS3 and 360.
Hey ik how it feels to save up $59.99 for each of these games. But there is a web site you can use to make money toward these games. go to this link and just see what its about. ☺http://www.points2shop.com/us/1582/Modern-Warfare-3?ref=15navinakollu
offtopic: can someone ban stal6666?
ive always liked call of duty better but i think this time around it might change after reading the perks and other silly things going on for MW3 it just doesnt seem to be any diffrent of a game then the last 3, i hated battlefield bad company 2 but this next one looks like it just may take my money over call of duty after reading and comparing the two, personally im getting sick of FPS games in not buying either at launch ill wait and see which one turns out better for long term play.
I use to love reading all the playstation magazine issues but then i had nowhere to place all the magazines so i just decided to stay digital and stay on the blogs and game sites.Im surprised PlayStation Magazine hasnt gone digital just like thier comic books :/
@108
Me too.
I remember the days when the PTOM used to have demo discs inside of them. Ah, the memories.
Hopefully this gets answered, it might already have.. I would love to purchase Digital versions for the PS3 and view them with built in trailers and screenshots of the game, have you guys thought of that? Thanks
To clarify, not MW3 only.. I mean just the PTOM itself, kinda like Qore, but PTOM understand?
Am going to pass on this fourth expansion pack to Call of Duty 4.
hahaa, i luv this wack battle of FPS when all im gettin is uncharted da DOMANATE WARRIOR game sickness!!!! itz a joke brah ppl playin first person shoters OH, mang 3D not sure is mulitplayer all gonna be in full 1080p that would bee mindblowin on my 50′ pannasonic banger fifa all dayayyayy too get with da program cuss

^ once more in readable form.
@ 114 what the fluzies did you write? anyway……. this is bull! hate how everybody puts hype to this game with extremely overpriced dlc ($60 for 20 maps which 4 are old zombie maps!!!! no story addon just maps….) i admit i have black ops, and my friend begged me to get the map pack. good thing i made him pay me if i didnt like (which i didnt). ive noticed mostly little children of 10-12 years are the ones buying these addons, and the game itself still new. $120 for 1 game….. 1 GAME! its beyond me how anybody can think of COD as a great game. just look at the preorder stuff they gave out. a poster? thats it? hmmm.. even they know they dont have to try too hard.

Whoa, stop the hate! Modern Warfare is an excellent franchise. You don’t have to buy it. Its the buyers fault for buying it!
@ roger ty for the reply , but im not cod fan or a bf3 fan . Im long time socom fan.. I dont buy either game . I buy socom. I havn nothing vs cod really its more with activision not wanting fix there broken games for the console,
I think enough is enough when they just get money and dont fix anything at all or hlf way do it,. its very disrespectful to the ps brand. I have nothing vs you guys at all. I love your magazine and your articles. You guys are our family. Today was just a dose off acohol rehab LOL..

@mcbuttz78 No worries, it’s all good. I love to see everyone being passionate about their favorite franchises. Believe me, we’ve got the same arguments going on between the PTOM staff.
I just think we’ve got the potential for two great games this year–and its the competition between them that’s making them better and better.
I, like all of you, am waiting to see which I’ll personally prefer.
