    MW3 is the epitome of a middle-schoolers ideal game for the early 2010s. It has not aged well by any means, but it was the game that sucked me into the COD hole after my initial fascination with MW2. Co-op missions felt more rewarding the multiplayer.

    MultiPlayer em 2022 pra 2023 é praticamente MORTO, não compre nessa intenção !!!

    Jogo é aceitável, possui um enredo muito genérico, e deixa muito a desejar na questão gráfica, a desculpa por ser de 2011 não se sustenta, seu antecessor tinha gráficos mais fluidos e melhores que esse MW3.
    Deveriam ter parado no MW2, jogo aceitável, nada mais que isso. nota 6/10 !

    I was very surprised to see 3 points, but I guess people focused on the multiplayer part of the game. I will only write a review for singleplayer.

    MW 1 and 2 are highly acclaimed games that everyone praises. But for some reason this game is not as good as those two. Naturally, I hadn't played the third one either. But it wasn't bad. It's even good. So yes, it is quite revolutionary,

    MW 1 and 2 are highly acclaimed games that everyone praises. But for some reason this game is not as good as those two. Naturally, I hadn't played the third one either. But it wasn't bad. It's even good. So yes, it is quite revolutionary, especially when the first game came out, but if you haven't played the third game, you are making a mistake. Once they have finished the story. So they finished the story of the trilogy. I know they're going ahead, but in the end, the story told in the first two games is finished in this game. Also, less story is told in this game if I didn't miss anything. Also shorter? I think the game takes four hours. That's how long it took for me. It has a raw and satisfying gameplay. Of course, what can we get bored of in 4 hours is another question. Although not as good as the other two games, I think the ending is very good.

    The gameplay is very good, since I don't play many FPS games, I don't know the gun or the tab, but it satisfied me as always. Especially if you are a player like me who is bad at aiming, I think that you will be satisfied to see that you get used to the end of the game and to play better. Other than that, there is nothing new in the game. I mean, I don't remember if we did anything special to this game, not in the first two games. Even so, it didn't impress me much.

    Unfortunately, I will not be able to participate in MW3 very much in terms of the environment. Yes, there is war and there is dust everywhere, but those color filters are killing me now. In other words, I think that everything does not have to look soulless just because there is a war. I think they realized this themselves and used more vibrant colors in their later CODs. So after all, the point of this game is not to shout war, war. Presenting a realistic image. It was the only thing that took me away from the atmosphere. The gun sounds were nice, but what I like more is the attention paid to the music in a game that I don't think needs music much. There are 5-6 songs in his OST that can really be listened to again. Fantastic

    In short, not everyone, but I think most people should play. A COD game that is neither catastrophically bad nor good enough to revolutionize.

    It's not good as mw1 and 2. It just feels weak.

    Weapon sounds are bad. They sound like broken glass.

    Special ops gives you another perspective and there is also survival mode. But still it didn't leave the same impact as first mw's.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ortalama bir Birinci Şahıs Nişancı-Aksiyon oyunu. Oyun Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2'nin hemen sonrasını konu alıyor. Biraz hikayeden bahsedeyim, Yüzbaşı Price ve Soap tekrardan Vladmir Makarov'un peşine düşerler. Bir önceki oyunda devam eden savaş bu oyunda da sürmektedir, hatta Rus ordusu Manhattan'a saldırı düzenlerler, fakat "Metal 0-1" isimli ekip Rus denizaltılarına sızar ve denizaltıyı ele geçirdikten sonra içerisinde bulunan silahları Rus gemilerine karşı kullanır ve böylece saldırı püskürtülür. Çok geçmeden Londra'da bir bomba patlar ve olay yerinde bulunan turist bir ailenin ölümüne sebep olur. Olaylardan sonra Rus devlet başkanı ABD ile Hamburg'da barış görüşmelerine başlayacaklarını açıklar. Fakat devlet başkanının uçağı yola çıktıktan hemen sonra Makarov ve adamları tarafından düşürülür, düşen uçaktan sağ çıkan devlet başkanı ve ailesini almak için bir helikopter gönderilir. Devlet başkanı ve kızını almaya gelen helikopterden Makarov çıkar ve ikisini kaçırıp helikopter ile oradan uzaklaşır. Yaşananların ardından Yüzbaşı Price, MacMillan'dan kimyasal silahların Avrupa'ya sevkiyatını yapan kişinin Somali'de bulunan Warrabee adlı kişi olduğunu öğrenir. Price ekibi ile Warrabee'nin bulunduğu yere operasyon düzenledikten sonra onu yakalar ve Warrabee ona Makarov'un bomba uzmanı Volk'un yerini söyler, ardından Price Warrabee'yi öldürür. Volk Paris'tedir. Price, Volk'un Paris'te olduğunu öğrendikten sonra Metal 0-1 ekibinin komutanı Sandman'e konu hakkında bilgi verir. Metal 0-1 ekibi Paris'te GIGN ekibinin de yardımı ile Volk'u canlı ele geçirmeyi başarırlar. Volk sorgulanırken Makarov'un Prag'da bir otelde toplantı yapacağı bilgisini verir. Yuri, Soap, Kamarov ve Price toplantının yapılacağı otele giderler. Yuri ve Soap keskin nişancı tüfekleri ile Price'ın otele girmesini beklerken asansörden üzerine bomba bağlanmış bir şekilde Kamarov çıkar ve bombaların patlaması ile plan mahvolur. Ardından Makarov'un söylediği sözlerden Yuri ile Makarov'un daha önceden tanışıyor olduğu ortaya çıkar ve Yuri ile Soap'un bulunduğu yerde de bomba patlar, ardından ikisi aşağı düşerler. Yuri sağ kurtulsa da Soap ağır yaralanır ve daha sonra ölür. Sonra Price'ın kafasına silah dayaması ile birlikte Yuri geçmişte yaşananları anlatır, Yuri, Makarov ile arkadaşken onun yaptığı katliamlardan birini önceden durdurmak için gerekli yerlere haber verir fakat Makarov bunu öğrenir ve Yuri'yi vurur. Daha sonra Yuri, Makarov'dan intikam almak için ABD ordusuna katılır. Bunların ardından birkaç başarısız kurtarma girişiminden sonra Rus devlet başkanı ve kızı Metal 0-1 ve Task Force 141'in ortak operasyonu ile Sibirya'daki bir madende bulunur ve kurtarılırlar, bununla birlikte savaş da sona erer. Savaş bittikten sonra Yuri ve Price, Makarov'u öldürmek için Dubai'de onun bulunduğu otele giderler. Uzun çatışmaların ardından Price, Makarov'un helikopterini düşürür ve Makarov, Yuri'yi vurarak öldürür. Daha sonra Price, Makarov'u yakalar ve otelin tepesindeki cam alanda onu dövdükten sonra orada bulunan halatı Makarov'un boyununa dolayıp camı kırar ve Makarov asılarak ölür, oyunun hikayesi bu şekilde biter. Hikaye ve hikaye anlatımı konusunda oyun oldukça zayıf, örnek vermek gerekirse hikayede önemli bir yeri olan Yuri'nin Makarov ile olan geçmişini anlattığı kısım bile sadece 1-2 dakikalık ara sahneler olarak gösterilmiş, hikaye bu kadar kopuk anlatıldığı için maalesef ilgi çekiiciliği de kalmıyor. Ancak oyunun finalinin Modern Warfare serisindeki en iyi final olduğunu söyleyebilirim, Makarov'un öldüğü sahne gerçekten çok iyiydi. Bölüm tasarımı olarak oyun yer yer iyi yer yer kötü, bazı bölümler atmosferi gerçekten de iyi sağlasa da (özellikle "Mind the Gap" ve "Stronghold" bölümleri çok iyiydi) bazı bölümler çok sıradan ve yaratıcılıktan uzak. Yani bölüm tasarımı ortalama denebilir. Oynanışa gelirsek, oyunun en büyük problemi sanırım bu. Oynanış olarak seriye neredeyse hiçbir yenilik getirilmemiş, Vuruş hissi, ve yapay zeka hiç gelişmemiş, bu bahsettiklerim önceki oyunlarda da pek iyi olmadığı için bu oyunda da kötü. Fakat bina ve çevredeki yapıların yıkıldığı sahneler bu oyunda arttırılmış ve iyi yapıldıkları söylenebilir. Grafiksel olarak oyun ortalama düzeyde, ancak optimizasyonda birtakım ciddi sıkıntılar var. Sistemimin fazlası ile yeterli olmasına rağmen yer yer ciddi takılmalar ve performans düşüşleri yaşadım, oyunun optimizasyonu başarısız. Oynarken yapay zeka kaynaklı ufak tefek hatalarla karşılaşsam da çok büyük hatalara denk gelmedim. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ortalama bir oyun olsa da bence Modern Warfare serisinin en kötü oyunu. Expand

Она по хуже двух предыдущих частей, но в рамках сиквела она себя показала достойно. Мои ожидания сложились таким образом, что я с нетерпением ждал ее выхода. Две предыдущие части выступили очень достойно и заслуживают внимания каждого уважающего себя геймера. Много впечатляющих моментов было показано в предыдущих двух частях серии, глубоко западающих в душу. Это третий сиквел, когда я находился в ожидании, я это полностью осознавал. Поэтому в какой-то момент я перестал сильно надеяться на нечто сверхъестественное и просто ждал. Но хочу вам сказать друзья, что мои потребности и желания касательно этой игры были выполнены. Опять же следует заметить что это третий сиквел и он получился достойно.

    Если собрать все минусы этой игры в один, то однозначно заметная поверхностность сюжета. После прохождения, у меня было остаточное чувство, чувство недосказанности. Но одновременно с этим и удивление (может не сильно большое, но все же удивление). Я знаю, что был некий резонанс людей (фанатов, критиков и прочих) относительно игры, по сути образовалось два лагеря. Но я хочу чтобы вы поняли ещё раз из сказанного выше, это третья часть в серии и далеко не каждая игра способна сохранить такой подобающий вид, как сделала это COD: MW3.

    Что касательно мультиплеера, то он мне совершенно не понравился (в принципе он у меня и в двух предыдущих частях впечатления не вызывал). Но вот штука типа спец заданий, вещь довольно захватывающая в некоторых аспектах. С чуваками по сети отбиваться от волн врагов - это как минимум прикольно. Уровень сложности кстати очень сильно влияет и ощутим во время игры. Можно их также и одному проходить. Сначала я думал, что мне будет также скучно, как и в мультиплеере, но нет. Лишних пару игр в одиночестве я провел.

    Хотелось бы добавить, что это крепкая семерка. Конечно же всем стоит обязательно пройти, эту игру. По большей части ее следует рекомендовать фанатам серии, но и остальным геймерам разумеется тоже. И хотелось бы опять повториться, что для третьего сиквела - она успешный проект.

    1. Graphics: 6/10 - great, but the improvement from MW2 is minimal
    2. Gameplay: 6/10 - more of the same
    3. Story: 7/10 - the finale of the MW series, satisfying ending
    4. Multiplayer: 4/10 - unchanged

    Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3

    Being my first Call of Duty game, it was definitely fun... For that first 100 hours, despite me playing for almost 400+ hours on record. You might always here people whining and b*tching about it, but it was really a good game in overall. I still remembered playing it on my old laptop (AMD 6470m) that broke down not long ago, and it ran smoothly and had good visuals. However, the FoV feature not being added in the PC was really a distaste to player's mouths, but did not stop third party programs from arising and changing it for us.

    It certainly does deserve the rating, but of course the stories about the "LEGENDARY FMG-9" was real. And that thing really hurts a lot. All the pistols in the game was full-auto if i wasn't wrong and it is really a pain in the butt. Full auto WITH INCREDIBLY HIGH RoF.

    The best guns or every shooter game's "tryhard" weapon is of course the old Heckler & Koch MP7 as well as Remington ACR.

    If somebody were to ask me if it really deserves a high rating by critics on the PC, i can honestly say that the critics hadn't had enough time with the game yet.

    Was the game better than part 2 which sucked hard also? I gonna say I think so. There are less too early Kill Streaks, more available ways to push out a camper and overall less and more known camper spots.

    To get to the Maps:

    16 maps 2 Little Team Maps together with MW2 map terminal (one of the few I liked) if you download a free DLC (probably the first and only in the franchise). Then some DLC maps I didnt buy because DLC buying for a firm like Activision sucks balls.

    I think three maps, Bakaara, Fallen and Seatown, are pretty well-made and fun to play (not counting in Terminal which is awesome as always, even better because of less weapons specialized on camping).

    In the opposite, three maps, Downturn, Carbon and Outpost are pretty damn bad.

    To end this quickly: If you a "modern" CoD except BO2 and MW2, which are even worse, then do not buy it. If you dont, give it a shot if you want. The cheat protection is getting better from what I have heard. My ban concerns me not to think so. But anyway, have a nice day.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Predecessor of MW2, MW3 is a next rung on the COD ladder, giving us access to more of the life Cpt. Soap as we continue on our quest to hunt down Makarov all within an action packed storyline to match. MW3 might have its downsides within the game such as the spawning system for its multiplayer in which I can be playing be killed only to be then shot 2 seconds after spawning again and its many bugs such as outpost wall-breaching glitch, this all adds to the thrill and adventure to the game-play or so I have found it that is.
    Developed by Infinity Ward, MW3 shows that IW really know what they’re doing when it comes to producing one hell of a game, just goes to show that you don’t need a huge development team to produce a game like MW3 unlike that of BO2. Which failed in comparison to MW3 as regards to feedback. We see a return to dedicated servers in MW3 whilst still providing us with the multiplayer lobbies we experienced in MW2 unlike that of BO1 which simply did multiplayer lobbies and no dedicated lobbies and BO2 which just did dedicated lobbies instead of multiplayer lobbies when will they learn to add both of them instead of 1 or the other.

    With dedicated servers in place MW3 brings the party, allowing players to experience MW3 like no other game before it, things like High Jump servers and Infected Shop servers bring even more action to the player that wants the thrill and adventure of a fire-fight in mid air or the exploring of new places within the maps. Like come on who doesn’t want to reach the Eiffel tower on Resistance? Cause I certainly want to, so what if I can’t get there fully it still adds to the fun of the game.

    Along with the main game of MW3 of course comes the ever increasing collection packs ranging from 1 to 4 these DLC’s offer new maps for players to dominate and master, new spec ops to blast through like the veterans they are.

    A new game mode hits the scene within the MW3 collection DLC’s, named Chaos mode; it says exactly what it does on the tin. In which players can either solo or blast it out with a friend through their favourite maps against a limitless amount of spawning enemies.

    Designed to test the player/player’s logical thinking, Chaos mode is the perfect mode for testing strategies/strength of the player. The amount of times I tried to get past 5 juggernauts all charging at me at once was very filling for my taste of adrenaline and thrill as I ran for my life like the coward I am.

    Overall I feel MW3 even with its ups and its downs is a 7/10 from me.

    It looks and plays pretty much EXACTLY the same as 2009's Modern Warfare 2, even the menus, sound effects, and buildings have been recycled from MW2. I feel extremely disappointed, the campaign and single player were shorter and barely better than MW2. Do not fall for the hype for this game, this game should have been a 15 dollar expansion for MW2, charging 60 for this should be a crime.

    Wow, quite the negative feedback. I got this game a few weeks back on a steam 50% off sale and for 30 bucks, not too bad. Sadly, so many cheaters and the devs do so little to fix this. I rarely play the story mode when it comes to CoD, I love the multiplayer aspect and if you can find a good hack free environment, it's fairly entertaining. Maybe I'll try the story mode this weekend...

    I pre-ordered MW3 back then only because I wanted to know what was going to happen to Markov. I don't play multiplayer mode. The single player campaign has no innovation, and parts of the storyline and character are ridiculous. This is a disappointment to the franchise.

Campaign mode, Special Ops, and Multiplayer are all pretty solid, and as a whole make for a pretty good game. >< My complaints mainly are multiplayer related. The foremost being an overall lack of balance . The pace of a typical MW3 match, regardless of game mode, or the objectives, quickly turns into and spray and pray gib-fest. Guns are terribly unbalanced as is the Perk system. It's ridiculous at how overpowered some weapons are over others. The whole pitch about "choose how you want to play based on weapon and perk choice" should have read "choose how you want to play using "this OP" type of gun and "these OP" perks or else lose". >< Another issue with multiplayer is lag. Matchmaking is a crapshoot, hosts are chosen seemingly at random, (sometimes mid-game), and players are either horribly easy or about impossible to hit because of lag. >< Finally, still not enough has been done to address aim-botting and other cheats which have been an ongoing problem for years. >< TL;DR MW3 delivers on what made the series popular but multiplayer issues hamper it's strongest selling point.

    Sum up MW3 in one word? Lazy, probably. Back in the days of the first Modern Warfare, the campaign was well-paced and only had the occasional set piece to awe you; whilst in MW3, you can't go 5 minutes without a building, plane or train falling and crashing six inches away from your face.

It's not that I think they should revolutionize the graphics every time a new game comes out, but this game does very little new, even story-wise. The story is even more disjointed than MW2 if you can believe that; with a half-hearted structure and poorly developed characters. Do I even need to be babbling right now? Just don't buy this game, unless you're willing to part with £30 for what essentially amounts to just a boring campaign and dull maps. And no, I don't like Battlefield 3 either so let's just drop this argument. Expand

    The Single-Player, like pretty much every CoD game for me at least, has been pretty darn great. I sincerely enjoyed the story they gave me. It was quite captivating, and certain scenes in the campaign almost had me to the point of tears. Coming on to multi-player, that was fun. You can really have a blast when your playing with friends and, whether you're screwing around or playing dead-serious, it can be memorable. Especially when crazy **** happens. However, as many others may have pointed out, in this technologically advanced time, a certain amount of innovation is expected. People would eventually get tired of a tweak of Modern Warfare's multiplayer, and I believe IW failed to realise this. And, due to the fierce competition other titles offered it this year, I'm quite glad people came to their senses, and called out CoD for how it failed to provide a new experience. I don't know if the engine is even worth mentioning :P Anyone with half a brain can comprehend that this is, in no way, a realistic shooter. Considering it one is testament to idiocy. The graphics are God-awful, with barely any change from MW2. And the sound.............I shudder even thinking about it. So, as a game, though it's not bad, it has wayyyyyy to much to work on. And, until that happens, I must say: Sorry Activision, you just gave me Modern Warfare again.

    I finished the single player campaign of this game the same day I bought it. I don't mind short campaigns if they are fun, but this is very short and boring.
    The game is so heavily scripted it makes it obvious that Infinity Ward is out of ideas in terms of innovative gameplay. They use scripted events as fillers, and on top of that they manage to lack imagination in that field as well.

How many times can we enjoy a scene where we get knocked down with the ears ringing and the blurry vision? Sure the part on the boat was awesome but that's about it as far as I'm concerned. For most of the campaign the player has to follow other characters, other than that it's pretty much "Do this! Go there!".
    I really do understand that the focus of this game is online but the game fails to be impressive and innovative on that side as well. I still give this game a 5 for the graphics and the input responsiveness but sadly Call of Duty has not evolved since Modern Warfare 1.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Battlefield 3 is $30 dollars on Amazon. This is still $45 bucks on Steam. This is just not worth the price if you're a big-time Call of Duty fan. I just gave up after Black Ops came out.

    Call of Duty MW3 had the worst campaign ending I have ever seen. It's terrible. It completely UNDOES parts of MW2 in fact. It's like EA screwed this up with Mass Effect 3, even if EA didn't make this game (and they didn't). The end you ask? You kill Makorav with a grapple hook. A GRAPPLE HOOK FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! And Soap, the new whats-his-name-again-it's-so-dumb guy, Frost, and tons of other characters die. The only time it's fun is the first part of the game. The final 2 parts in Mission Select are terrible quality.

    Graphics and sound are basically a port from MW2. No difference. Go figure, they did the same for Black Ops. Multiplayer is another story though. YOU GOT FREAKING NUKES AND MOABS! And since COD is full of cheats, it's so easy to end a match in Multiplayer in 2 minutes. I had a terrible time playing this. Replay MW2 or something, that was more enjoyable than this dog poop. Or buy BF3, it's cheaper now.

I've been a fan of COD since MW2 and didn't mind the game play its just the stupid choices of the devs that ruin it. Matchmaking isn't a good feature for PC players ffs, it should have stayed on the consoles only. If PC players don't know how to use a server browser to join a game, then they shouldn't be playing on a PC at all.

    This actually, wasn't too bad, but probably only worth it to finish up the Modern Warfare storyline.

    I've always favored Infinity Ward iterations of the COD franchise, and to be honest, I wasn't expecting MW3 to actually be released after that issue a while back of Activision kicking quite a few of the Infinity Ward team off the project.

    Now, the single player of MW3 is very good, voice acting is nice, the storyline isn't hard to follow, even ties in with scenes from COD4 and MW2, the graphics are crisp and rich in detail, not to mention the campaign's ending was actually quite satisfying. The gameplay is more or less the same as MW2 with new weapons, a new campaign that continues right where MW2 left off, and adds a few new characters. Whether or not you class this as a bad thing is up to you, I'll personally admit yes it did get a little repetitive later on in the game.

    I'm quite reclusive and most of my internet time was spent on dialup / satellite internet so I never quite got around to playing multiplayer, but I hear a lot of complaints about the matchmaking system. To be honest I feel the matchmaking should stay with the game consoles.. or as a secondary option with the choice of a server browser, so you have a choice with either a casual match with random people or a good game with people you know from a clan. (Off the record.. Just my opinion, Call of Duty's multiplayer is not deep like the fans say. To be honest it hasn't really changed much since COD4.)

    And of course, I'm going to cite my protest at Activision with their greed. 15 dollars for a DLC is insane, I could wait for one of Steam's holiday sales and get 3 or 4 full games for the price. Hell, I even grabbed BOTH Mass Effect 1 and 2 for a total of 5 dollars less than one of the Call of Duty DLCs. Not to mention their absolutely stupid decision to cancel popular game series' like Guitar Hero, Its a no brainer why EA is kicking their arses royally right now.

    The single-player that was once innovative and memorable is now banal and repetitive. None of the moments in Modern Warfare 3 will be as eternal as when you first sneaked by enemy gaurds with Cpt. McMillan or when you first took controls of the guns behind an AC-130. While it's still fun and well-polished, it lacks the excitement "edge-of-your-seat" excitement of Black Ops.

While it's still fun and well-polished, it lacks the excitement "edge-of-your-seat" excitement of Black Ops. Furthermore, none of the multiplayer improvements in Black Ops like character customization or creative game modes make a return in multiplayer. However, the new Survival mode is a blast to play with a friend, as you level up and buy weapons and killstreaks as the game goes on. This instills an excellent feeling of progression that most survival modes lack. However, Survival mode is only playable with two people, which is a shame considering how much more fun the game would be with four. Overall this game is definitely not worth the $60 price tag, but if you've got a friend who you'd like to blast AI buddies with, maybe pick it up after a price drop. If you're looking for a better multiplayer mode however, you won't find much here that's better than Black Ops, likely worse. Expand

    While I thoroughly enjoyed playing the game itself, one of my biggest gripes is with the prelude narration which sounds like it's being spoken by someone who's about 16 or 17 years old. Other than that, it's a great game with a lot of action and cinematic sequences.

    I enjoyed the single player and i think they rapped up the modern warfare story line quite well.I have not spent much time with the multiplayer but from what i have played it looks like more of the same. I like the cod multiplayer but i feel like the multiplayer has not really changed from mw2 apart from a few tweaks. i still think survival is fun though

    I have never really been a follower of the Call of Duty games; Back in the day, it was Medal of Honor or nothing, but since EA managed to practically destroy that series, like they did with many others (think C&C), I have been forced to look elsewhere. So here I am at Modern Warfare 3. Because I am somewhat lazy, I am just going to create a list of some dot-points.

    *It's the first COD
    I have never really been a follower of the Call of Duty games; Back in the day, it was Medal of Honor or nothing, but since EA managed to practically destroy that series, like they did with many others (think C&C), I have been forced to look elsewhere. So here I am at Modern Warfare 3. Because I am somewhat lazy, I am just going to create a list of some dot-points.

    *It's the first COD game I have played competitively online and I am enjoying the experience; aside from some bugs. One thing that does annoy me is that there is no big maps, so you are usually forced to use close-to-medium range guns. I can also understand why IW didn't change the multiplayer experience too much - it would have alienated the fan base. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", comes to mind here.

    *I do agree with most people here - the engine for this game is aging too much. Sure it has improved slightly over each game, but no matter how many labels IW slaps on the engine, its still the same thing. "No matter how much you polish turd...". The colours are dull and washed out, textures are flat and low resolution, shadows are horrible, the foliage does not look great, and the overall definition of the game ain't there. It's time for a new engine - one that actually looks decent on a 1080p screen.

    *Let's be honest here, I didn't buy COD for the campaign, so I don't care how mediocre it may seem, but as long as there is one I am not fussed. The storyline itself was extremely short and full of almost every cliche known to man. One big Hollywood explosion-fest. Where are the war games that actually make you feel the real emotions of war and the morals behind it all? A game that really makes you think about your actions or question what is happening in front of you. I know it might be hard to portray in an interactive media like games, but I'm sure its probably not entirely impossible.

    To sum it up, future COD games need a new engine, better story lines, and more map sizes and varieties. I'm not saying it has to compete with BF3 in terms of gameplay, like most people here ( That would be like comparing apples to oranges. One game offers large-scale multilayer with vehicles, the other is more like a death match arena game), it just has to improve it's core - what made it great in the first place. My decision to purchase Modern Warfare 3 was simple; I haven't owned a COD game before, and wanted to experience what the fuss was all about by purchasing the latest installment. I couldn't really careless about the previous games (although I did like World at War).

    And about he contrasting scores here on Metacritic - it was insane what the critics rated the game, I don't think it deserves that high of a score. As for the user reviews, most are people who compare it to BF3 or who feel betrayed, let-down, or conned by IW/Activision by not delivering a game that lives up to its very own hype, or the users own expectation. At the end of the day, who is more likely to voice their opinion? Someone who has something positive to say, or someone who has something negative to say?
