Then they move a crate back. (wow... what a challenge!) The AI is horrendeous! Enemies will take "cover" 2 metres in front of you, in plain sight just waiting to be shot. If you crouch, suddenly enemies can't aim anymore always shooting over your head. I didn't manage to die even once in the first hour of gameplay (then I just gave up on it).

    The environments are painted pretty but there are close to zero physics effects. Except from bullets painting decals there's no way to damage anything (not that I noticed). Even slamming a guided missile ontop of a building leaves the roof intact. "Modern" Warfare my ass...

    Your squad mate's aiming is horrendeous... you can literally stare at the same machine gunner for minutes at a time and he won't even get a scrach "subtely" inviting you to take the shot. If however you move to "the next crate" their aim suddenly improves and the guy is taken out in seconds. And I remember reading on IGN that the "scripting" had gotten better in MW3... where?!?

    I don't think it's fair to rate this game 0 because it has some merits... about the same merits as playing a shooter on rails on Android... but it's not THAT bad to deserve 0 points. This is a shameful attempt at a game... from a gameplay standpoint it doesn't even stand up to a 1994 Shooter. The Gfx are ok-ish, some nice lighting but particle effects are complete crap. The sound is also poor, the gun in your hand doesn't feel real, neither as recoil neither as sound. The bullet whizzing by your head effect has no connection to what actually goes on on screen, it's just like a "static warfare soundtrack".

    I'm not amazed that a **** game like this gets made in 2011, i'm amazed at the scores it gets from "gaming sites" (81 aggregate score ??? cmmoon) and amazed at how little gamers respect themselves theese days, being willing to spend money on this kind of crap. Do yourself a favor and pirate the game... then if you truly think it's a good game, buy it!    … Expand

    Activision are the best ecologists ever. Recycling year after year a million dollar game.

    Even if the story is interesting, all other stuff is boring. Hope they will wake up and change they mind about the franchise.

    60$ dlc I expect more from the big gaming company's. 2 years and all I get is a re-skinned version of MW2 with a changed leveling/perk system. Activision has the number 1 selling game out and they can not even improve their engine. They all are sitting on their fat bank account laughing at the consumers.

    I have bought every copy of COD since COD 4 - after playing MW2, i stopped playing cod all togther. When black ops came out, i thought eh, ill give it was 2nd try. I played the game maybe for 2 weeks. Never even thought of looking up this game. tested it out at my buddies place and saw that game has not changed since MW2. Same old run and gun.

    Graphics are a step back from Black Ops as is the soundtrack. The Black Ops soundtrack and graphics engine were amazing and a leap forward from Modern Warfare 2. I feel like this title lost all that progress and went back to the Modern Warfare 1 engine. Can not get this game to look decent in 1920x1200 even with "native" rendering setting.

    Someone wanted to squeeze the last few bucks out of a tired engine and game model. Please no more, in an age where the arguments against piracy are shouted from every moral pulpit perhaps the evangelists should look at what they are providing for sale - quality always provides a decent argument for revenue.

I would still like to see some more Callsigns and Emblems to the game from the Spec Ops part, but well... Overachiever is pretty nice.

    The multiplayer gameplay would be great if they hadn't done the exact same thing in their two previous Modern Warfare games. The graphics seems to be somewhere between MW1 and MW2 and the weapons are pretty much the same (except for a huge damage decrease on UMP). This was not what I expected at all and after playing it for some hours I had feeling that I was playing Modern Warfare 2 and not an entirely new game. My personal feelings towards this is that 90% of the game is old content taken from previous games to make a cheap solution to something with great potential.

    The game also has the features Survival Mode and Spec Ops. Every CoD fan knows what this is (I presume), and the Survival Mode is extremely fun to play with your friends. It's split up in difficulty maps, and this works great. The Spec Ops are as they were on MW2 except that they have removed the last few missions with the juggernauts, which makes the Spec Ops overall easier than before. Even though I missed that insane challenge, I had a blast playing through all the missions.

    I rate the game a 4 in total (Multiplayer 2, Single Player 6) and if you consider buying this game, you should only buy it because of Spec Ops, Campaign and Survival Mode - Not because of the multiplayer part.    … Expand

    The Bad: Then they took the bad things out of Black OPS and magnified them x5. Maps are terrible, besides 1 or 2, everyone camps, and everyone uses akimbo. There are already hackers and quickscoping is easier that ever before. The spawning system is the same as it was in Black OPS, you are running around the map and people are spawning right behind you.

    The Ugly: Although they introduced Kill Confirmed (aquire dogtags), camping in this game is worse than MW2 or Black OPS COMBINED! Due to the amount of added obstacles and buildings into the game, it begs for campers. Players of MW3 are only concerned about their K/D. I was amazed at the amount of players that don't even go after the dogtags of the players they kill. They wait for one of their teammates to get it for them.

    Overall: Fluidity is better. Funfactor is not.

Just like black ops, this is a game you fire up but don't enjoy. MW2 built on COD4 and even without dedicated servers, it was still ridiculously fun and challenging. Killstreaks don't make any sense in MW3 - you can die 10 times with minimal kills and still call in stealth bombers. If you're a sniper, forget it. The only reason I'm not still playing MW2 is because Black Ops and MW3 have killed it. If IW could at least re-release the old maps (without ridiculous DLC prices) I might start to enjoy the game.

    The bottom line is, MW3 is everything MW2 was, but every good aspect has been replaced with something worse. The loss of stopping power is frightfully irritating - a reminder of how tedious it is to kill others in Black Ops. If you like COD4 and MW2, you won't like this game. If you have never played Call of Duty, now is certainly not the time to start.    … Expand

The lack of lean removes a feature that was much needed, the game speed was reduced as well as the jump just to make sure the casual gamer gets a chance against the hardcore gamers and a direct reply to the complain of casual players claiming "bunny hopping" was overpowered. P2P seems actually worse than in MW2 because they introduced some sort of anti-lag feature to take away the advantage of the host by giving them the same ping as the next lowest ping on the server. Also, you can be in North America, Europe, South America, Asia, Australia... you'll get people that aren't near you in your game and the hosting will not be computer spec dependant, but instead it will be based on the average pings.

    Field of View being locked along with max FPS and custom binds. Gone are the days of tweaking your config to match your PC and get the best FPS possible if you cared for that. You're stuck with basic settings with maxed FPS that isn't even syncable with your 120hz monitor if you have one. You also cannot bind a key to say something such as "Sorry for the team kill." or "Planting B! Cover!". Attempting to change any of those settings deemed "unfair" by IW will guarantee a reset of your config. Making it read only won't help either as the game will load a "factory" default config of those settings you tried to change.

    When it comes to actual gameplay, the game is OK at best. Being a Search and Destroy player, you'll notice that maps are so small that there isn't any reason to play that gametype minus for a few maps that could actually work out with the gametype. Kill Confirmed is nice and "new" but it stops there. A new gametype isn't gonna make the game worth 60 bucks.

    Too long, didn't read? Here's the general thoughts:

    No Dedicated servers for Ranked gaming.
    Locked config. (FoV, FPS, Binds, Lagometer, FPS Counter, etc.)
    No sound options which makes it hard to be able to adjust the volume correctly.
    Tiny Maps, some slightly larger that can allow for Search and Destroy play.
    Fun Campaign and Spec Ops. Decent new gametype for Multiplayer.
    Modern Warfare 2.1
    Gameplay modified to give a chance to casual gamers.

The PC community was promised that dedicated servers were going to be brought back (which they were). The PC community was promised that they game would be competitive (lol) and that the new methods being implemented would help deter hackers.

    I wish to convey the message that we may not have been lied to directly by any of the above mentioned companies, but we were not given full truths. Developers wished to promote Call of Duty Elite which in their opinion was something that was needed for gaming. However, PC community did not get it and recent reports claim may not ever get it (not that we asked, or were excited or even cared about the service). This service is the reason developers claim that the PC community is too unstable to create a worth while game. With inherent hacking and glitching they could not offer a valid means to roll out the service. This being as it is, developers wanted to make this their big thing for the launch and were very insistent on making this happen, even at the cost of the players. To help them make sure the game would be able to be launched on their terms (not the players) they went against what they knew to be the overwhelming majority in the PC community. They made sure dedicated servers were able to be manipulated so that hosts could unlock or lock whatever they wanted on the games. They also made it so that players could not rank up while playing on dedicated servers (everything is already unlocked). Which naturally leaves the Peer to Peer match making the only way to get the Call of Duty experience of leveling. These could be fixed if developers find away to reverse the negatives (which are major and mainly why scores are down) and do as company slogans have been across the markets "the customer is always right". While they may have beaten sell numbers from previous games I would be hard pressed to think that it will be that way (at least with PC) next time.

    To validate the +2 on my score (-8 being mentioned above) the game meets co-op expectations, although barely. While the game is fun and new many game types, the game has many glitches and problems that should have been found in beta testing (although it was not offered as an OPEN beta on PC). I have found that the game is merely something to put on the shelf (or the imaginary one of steams uninstalled games) and say "Oh yea I remember that, meh lets play something else.."    … Expand

There is something truly special about that game. It provided a compelling story, excellent multi-faceted gameplay, amazing multiplayer, and the overall presentation felt like a modern action movie. MW2 came with its controversy. It's campaign was a continuation of the COD:MW. It tied up the story quite nicely. It's multiplayer left something to be desired. Black Ops had a very intriguing campaign which was fun to experience. It's multiplayer crawled further into the hole that MW2 dug. Modern Warfare 3 is a continuation of the MW 2 campaign. It shares elements of the first and second MW games. It's graphics are starting to show rust around the edges of an aging engine. It's gameplay is far more more more. By that I mean, someone must have looked at COD:MW and said, like that only more. More enemies, more explosions, more chaos. That doesn't translate into a compelling experience. It's the Michael Bay formula. While I'm usually a fan of the continuation of a compelling story, this game just didn't deliver. I honestly would rather have watched it than played it. That's the type of experience it was. It didn't make me feel anything. in COD:MW you felt something when Cpt. Price led you through enemy territory to a sniper hide. You felt something when the nuclear bomb went off. You felt something when controlling the Spectre gunship. Even in MW2 you felt something when you chose to become a terrorist. This game elicits no emotion. The closest they came is at the end of the game. This final scene only solidified my desire for this to have been a watching experience instead of a participation. It was loud and chaotic and failed to connect with me. Given the controversy with the studio who made the first two modern warfare games, I feel it may be unfair to judge Sledgehammer games for this. Their next title may well end up in the echelon of COD:MW and COD1. Unfortunately, this pusillanimous title may have been the mandate of the publisher. The multiplayer experience in this game is geared towards those who prefer the style of Black Ops moreso than COD:MW. It is rife with gadgets and streaks and kludgy perks. It is fast paced and rewards twitchy hands over strategy and stealth. It does not have dedicated ranked servers. With the addition of MW:Elite, I feel the franchise has entered into a new territory which can only serve to hurt the community and will punish the loyalist who can't break free.

    In the end, I gave it a three of ten because this title lacks all courage. It stuck to a formula which it knew would sell to loyalists. This is, of course, a review of the PC version. Once you move to a console version, the multiplayer issues disolve and you're still stuck with the loud booming and explosive chaotic experience which all the kids love. Problem is, this is a mature title.    … Expand

But since they got rid of some of the new things black ops added and just pretty much did the same thing as MW2, just some new perks and killstreaks, I gave it a lower score. Don't be fooled, if you played MW2, you played this game, same lone wolf style multiplayer (unless you make your own team with friends or a clan), same formula on the campaign except now its getting predictable and boring, and really rushed. Nothing changed, they hyped it up and people bought it. And now people can see that it is stupid, which is why people came here like me to put a bad review on it. Me and the other 3,437 people. I like more of a thinking mans fps, I like to have a lot of communication when I play online and strategies. Multiplayer on this came is all about how you yourself can be better, and not what you can do to help the team and win, its all about YOUR Kill death ratio, and things like that. So I would much rather play Battlefield 3 which has a lot more strategy to it. More thinking. But don't get me wrong, I have a place for these games, I get bored and just want to run around a knife some people without thinking too. Which this game does well, but thats about it. If thats all you want then go buy this game. But for me, and some others, we want more, not the same game every year, with a new case for 60$.… Expand

    The singleplayer is ok, they have improved it a little bit but the campaign is still very short (6 hours) and the multiplayer is just a joke. I hate the feel of it, and everything is just unbalanced such as the spawn points, weapon damage, and so on. The only thing I really enjoyed was the survival and challenges. But thats it.

The spec ops missions are fairly all right, but the survival mode is really good considering the rest of the game. The multiplayer has been destroyed by the fact that iwnet still exists. Games automatically matchmake with level 50's, and from different countries. It also preferences games over 100ms ping. The game feels very rushed and seems to be because the developers wanted to compete with bf3. They should NOT have attempted to release the game in such a poor state. They should have utilized the PC as the platform of choice so that they could then downsize the graphics etc for consoles. That way the game would have potentially had good competition against BF3. Instead the game is cliche, recycled and carelessly created. Sad, it had potential.    … Expand
