Things it'd be nice to see in MW3...
1. Shotguns that at least shoot bird shot as opposed to powdered sugar.
2. Decent hit detection.
3. Radar that actually registers everyone without Ghost.
4. A balance in guns. Kind of like what Black Ops would have been with the Famas.
5. No Second Chance/Last Stand.
6. Claymores that actually detonate to some effect.
7. No running through bullets to knife the shooter.
8. Silenced sniper rifles that can reliably get one shot kills.
9. Pistols not being underpowered. The 1911 shoots a goddamn .45 ACP.
10. Maps that DON'T suck (it'll take them a long time to figure that one out).
But they will always find exciting new ways to bullshit.

The only reason there was gun "balance" in Blops was that statistically many of the guns were EXACTLY THE SAME. Even the FAMAS and AUG were basically the same gun, while the former had a greater center speed, explaining why it was used so greatly.
The thing I always liked about MW2 is that every gun was varied and allowed for a lot more "fun" tactics than in BLOPS. Not many people even use the UMP anymore in MW2, while every game of BO more than half the game is using the FAMAS.

FAMAS, AUG, or AK-74U
Oh look, I became good in Black Ops! Never mind the fact that the snipers are terrible, shotties aren't that good, etc. And BLOPS has some shitty ass hit detection for sure.
Ideally, I'd like for them to return to their MW roots in MW3. Hell, I'd like for them to get rid of the variable killstreaks and return to the 3-5-7 set up in MW. A helluva lot less camping for killstreaks in 4 than in MW2. The gun balance was pretty good in MW as well. The only outclassed weapons in CoD4 were the SAW, MP44 and the R700 (albeit the camo on that gun was so sexy). One could argue that the UZI was outclassed as well. Every other gun had it's own advantage and could be reliably used. Yes, the M16 was a very good gun, but it wasn't game breaking like the MP40 in WaW.

I'm hoping they make the guns more real life like. For those of you that played MW2, the vector shoots the same rounds as the ump at around twice the bullets per minute. Also it'd be nice to see more realistic shotguns (range) and snipers (no quickscoping/firing without zooming in). Granted no quick scoping will never happen but i'm feeling good about the other two.
How is it realistic that you can't pull the trigger without zooming in? Are you telling me if you hold a sniper rifle you can't pull the trigger without looking down the scope? C'mon man...
I know, right?
As long as you can quickscope, however, and it looks flashy (yeah, I'm that dude), then I'll be fine. I don't understand what is with the hating on it in general. It's not cheap, and who cares if it's not realistic? It's CoD, where the gameplay is faster paced in a more immediate area than other shooters.
I do support the notion of more varied weapons in terms of how they actually operate differently from others though. And make more weapons actually viable so we don't have to stare at a UMP in every killcam.
