Kim Dotcom

Various sources have insisted that Kim Dotcom of Megaupload fame got a high score as Megaracer. The sourcing usually refers back to a YouTube video, eg here. How plausible/verifiable is this, as I am not an expert on the game?--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 18:06, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

A better question is how notable is this. Dbrodbeck (talk) 18:10, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

The problem is that it has been added and reverted repeatedly at Kim Dotcom (see Talk:Kim_Dotcom#Modern_Warfare_3). Since people keep on adding it, it would be useful to know if it passes WP:V.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 18:14, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

If the source is a Youtube video, I would doubt it. Dbrodbeck (talk) 18:16, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

The article above from Yahoo may serve as reliable enough for WP:V, but I don't know if it's enough to cover WP:N. I'd say not to include it, especially with Youtube acting as a component of the Yahoo article. -- ferret (talk) 18:18, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Sales figure

The sales figure of this game should be update now. Does anyone has a valid link suggesting sales? Penpaperpencil (Talk) 04:08, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Mistake

On the same day, World War III continues. This is wrong because WWIII began with the invasion of Europe by the Russians (or Inner Circle). The war before it was the Russo-American War (or better: On the same day, the war between Russia and America/ the US continues.) 95.116.123.28 (talk) 19:45, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

is it just me or is anyone else disapointed that there is no reward for completing the campaign all you get is a button to the special opps section — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.127.122.220 (talk) 16:26, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Downloadable_Content_in_Call_of_Duty:_Modern_Warfare_3 Article

I have started an article strictly for DLC. Anyone can edit it:

I actually believe we need less information about the DLC, not more. Other than a basic summary of the existance of DLC, we don't need to market every release, especially without some form of notability for a particular DLC being established. -- ferret (talk) 11:20, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

The controversy in mw3

Has anyone noted the offensive images with the shooting of civilians in this game? I have some sources of some news networks criticizing the violence in the game, much like the article of controversy in modern warfare 2.140.198.46.138 (talk) 00:06, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Relevancy of MW3's rating being less than MW2

Simply put, there is no relevancy, and no reliable sources have been given that critics have especially noted that "Despite us rating this game lower than MW2, it was really good." In short, you're adding original research and potentially bias. If you have reliable sources that specificly note something like that, feel free to post them here so other editors can comment. -- ferret (talk) 19:30, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Eventhough your edits are very welcome, The Shadow-Fighter, I'm afraid ferret is correct. It goes against Wikipedia's guidelines on original research. You see, you are the one making the decision to add the information here. But if an outside source, say Kotaku or GameSpot, has an article on it then we can add it.

Right now there is no real reason to add a comparison with its predecessor. It might be a fact that it was received less favourably, but that doesn't mean you should add it in though. Why stop there? Why not compare it to Black Ops, or MW1? Or the very first Call of Duty game? Or to Pac-Man? Please see the article Call of Duty for an overview of the games. There, a reception comparison infobox would be very welcome actually! The game stands on its own, just like the article :) --Soetermans. T / C 13:17, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Campaign

"Some of these objectives can be failed, and may or may not hinder progression of the story." That is completely not true, and has no valid source. AlexXD94 (talk) 15:57, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Just an idea…

But would it be worth making separate articles for other major characters in the series. I know one exists for Captain Price but what about Soap, or even Makarov? There's sources out there on Google which will back them up, so I would happily start one soon if it were ok with any other editors.--RedBullWarrior ([[User <a class="inlineAdmedialink" href="#">talk</a>:RedBullWarrior|talk]]) 09:14, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Some of those have been created in the past, and then later deleted or merged as lacking enough notability. -- ferret (talk) 13:14, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

The article for Captain Price is really only notable because a Captain Price appears in basically every Call of Duty game. It is not an article for the Modern Warfare reindition of him. TJD2 (talk) 16:13, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
