    CONs
    * P2P system still sucks and should never be used for PC gaming, give Ranked Dedicated servers and it will be added to the PROs list.
    * Game is too similar to MW2, even the errors are still referring to MW2, which brings me to
    * Selling Price is to high for a game this similar to MW2
    * Outdated Graphics Engine
    * COD Elite not working, with launch.


    Suggestions to improve ratings:

    * Give Ranked Dedicated servers
    * Release high texture pack perhaps to improve graphic quality
    * Fix your COD Elite

    This game surely has potential, if only IW listened to the public the score would have been a better. In my books if Ranked Dedicated servers were given and a bit better graphics and additional settings like FOV, i would have rated this game between 8 to 9, however unfortunately this is not the case.    … Expand

    Here is my new review of MW3. It is about the same thing as the other call of duties at first glance. Graphics and and audio are all the same with the core of the game centered around running and gunning. But only until i play quite a bit of the game did I realize why I used to love the others so much...it gets addicting and is overall fun.

MW2 and 3 should of probably just been paid for DLC instead of stand alone titles, $60 just feels like a little much for recycled content and a measly 5 hours of new story.

    Either way like i said it is still entertaining like the others are but it should be since nothing big has been changed. And it will provide plenty of hours of gameplay just like its predecessors. Personally it just seems a little disappointing to me.    … Expand

    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

On the plus side the Level design and general scripting is overall top notch with some serious creativity when it comes to the underwater level or the airplane sequence. I actually felt bad for whoever designed the Paris level as i can see how nicely detailed and close to the real thing it is but the level is such that the player just dont get to see anything, it goes so fast!

    Modern Warfare 3, of course is the next iteration of a yearly franchise.
    For what the team was trying to do, what they were trying to make of Modern Warfare 3, they did a nice job. Naturally, the engine is bit out of date, but it still produces graphics that are at least better than Half Life 1. The campaign was full of (as most reviewers say) Michael Bay action and destruction moments.    Modern Warfare 3, of course is the next iteration of a yearly franchise.

The campaign was full of (as most reviewers say) Michael Bay action and destruction moments. Not that there's any wrong with that, though I find the AI still rather terrible, though if you compare it to the AI from Call of Duty 2, it's an improvement. It was an exciting campaign, a good continuation of the previous two games that wrapped up all the loose ends, and most of the questions.
    Now onto the multiplayer:
    Almost all of it is like the previous, more guns, more maps, reworked perks, killstreaks (which are now pointstreaks, which I'll admit, was a great idea.) Everything is as fast paced as ever, and delivers the same action that you'd expect from Call of Duty. That's good and bad, both that Call of Duty didn't innovate too much in this release, but that it didn't try to fix what wasn't broken. I think a bit of experimentation would be cool, because after a few years of the same concepts with different guns, maps, and perks, it can get old. My attention span with Call of Duty games has been declining lately, though MW3 held it longer than Black Ops did for sure.

    So, in a gist:
    -Graphics: Rather outdated, but still better than Half Life 1
    -Campaign: Actiony, destruction-packed
    -AI: Bad
    -Multiplayer: Same old same old. Still no dedicated servers... wtf? (I miss CoD 2 in that regard)    … Expand

    I have awaited Modern Warfare 3's release and being able to play it with a moderation of expectations. Interestingly these expectations have been met as they were: moderate.

Interestingly these expectations have been met as they were: moderate. Modern Warfare 3 is hardly more than the continuation of the Campaign as well as a rehash of the Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer with some new fresh ideas. Yet, despite most of the additions related to Modern Warfare 2 add new nuances to gameplay the whole package seems rather dated compared to it's competitors. The old reworked IW5 hardly turns any heads by now, yet still delivers adequate visuals as one plays through the campaign. The campaign itself is likely rather short as it is common for FPS games right now, but isn't short on action. If one wills it, the immersion in the action can be rather satisfying. Right now it is plagued by a few bugs which can be surpassed if one knows how to do so, but for the unschooled player that is unaware of the existence of Wikias the game ends at Hamburg, killed by a reliable-command-buffer-overflow and a return to the main menu. The multiplayer can best be described with S.S.D.D with extras. As mentioned earlier some of the elements newly introduced can enhance the gaming experience and some rather helpful changes were made compared to it's predecessor. Unfortunately it also suffers from a few new problems. The maps feel cramped and small compared to the more open and wide maps of Modern Warfare 2. The new strike packages were done almost perfectly and open up many new ways to introduce killstreaks to the player's playstyle. For anyone who wanted the dedicated servers and is disgruntled about them being unranked, I cannot comment on this, sadly. To me this is a viable design choice. These servers will likely be better populated as soon as more players reach the prestiges at which they want to stop prestiging any further. Naturally there still is the problem of hackers and hacked lobbies in the P2P variant of the game and it BAFFLES me how the developers could miss such a thing as game client checksums to prevent game file alteration. All in all, the game is not as bad as one would perceive, especially from the notoriously vitriolic community. However, at times it feels uninnovative and static considering the lack of actual steps forward in development compared to the entire spin-off of the franchise. With this lack of creative movement it strikes me as unbelievable, that not only the game was released with a price tag of 60â… Expand

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.

    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.    I finished the single player campaign of this game the same day I bought it.

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!".

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.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly let me say i am extremely disappointed that this is the highest earning piece of entertainment in our civilization. This is like Justin Bieber and Twilight as they are to music and movies respectively.
    They throw crap at you and they still make a ton of money every year, the reasons for which are beyond my comprehension.
    I still remember playing the first Modern Warfare and being blown away by it. It was a breath of fresh air in the WW2 shooter infested era. That unfortunately was also the last FPS experience i have enjoyed.
    This game just goes on to show how much they have run out of ideas. The engine appears superbly dated and not worth running on a good rig, let alone warrant the full 60 dollar price. I am atleast glad they finished the story once and for all. A lot of ideas have been overused here , the slowmo breaching of countless rooms, following Capt.Price in stupid missions where the AI is so blind they'd walk over you and still not be able to spot you. Most of the missions here start off stealthily and end up becoming long and boring corridor sequences either in a street or a building. The layouts of the environment haven't changed much since the first game in the series and they have overused the idea of killing playable characters gradually over the sequels. The protagonist of the series spends more time on his deathbed in this title and it would have been nice to keep him alive as the series ended. I have to say this is the worst game in the series and the critic reviews just goes to show how you cannot trust these sites these days. How can this game get such a high score. But this series isn't meant for the SP experience and we are yet again given the same experience with micro tweaks and modes. Activision has suffered creatively since the core team left Infinity Ward to form Respawn entertainment and this clearly shows in the game. If you own a decent rig and like FPS, then the game to buy would be BF3 (even though it has its own set of issues). This is definitely a console FPS (yes they should call it this).
    The recoil in a weapon is barely present and the gameplay style is more lonewolf oriented. It is disturbing to see how low the series has gone over the past 2 games. Bottom line : Don't buy this so Activision can stop throwing the same crap at us year over year.
    Now that this game has been laid to rest , i am looking forward to some innovation from their side for the inevitable COD-9 slated for 2012 holiday season.    … Expand

    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. The game becomes exhausting to play and then just turns out to be boring. It's not that I think theySum up MW3 in one word? Lazy, probably.

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

    Let me start by saying I'm not going to compare to BF3, I will only compare to the past COD games and how this functions as far as improvements and features it provides. The campaign is what we have come to expect from a COD game, all sparkle and no substance, it has cool set pieces but the levels themselves are way too short and the way the story is handled is not very good switching places between different soldiers at different times without good explanation as to why, compared to Black Ops which imo is the best COD campaign that gave good explanation and had an interesting albeit derivative twist, it was still entertaining and i enjoyed it. Now on to controls and multiplayer, the controls are probably the tightest ive ever felt in a COD game, and thats pretty awesome! but unfortunately Lag compensation still exists from Black Ops rendering my games completely unplayable, I've had only one awesome game out of the 13 I've played and I'm sure that people in that very game were getting the short end of the lag compensation stick, and everything that was cool about black ops with the currency system allowing you to unlock whichever guns you please (if you have it unlocked to purchase from ranking up) has been removed, and back to the archaic MW2 method of using each gun and gaining a set amount of kills or mini challenges to get the gun ranked up to unlock parts of the gun itself, why did they go this route?? Black Ops made it so much easier for people to just get in rank up and unlock whatever you please and truly customize your character, now dont get me wrong I am in no way trying to praise Black Ops as the holy grail of COD gameplay, it has its large share of issues with lag compensation as well, but at least (for PC of course) they had a server browser that YOU CAN RANK UP IN, and gave PC gamers the option of having Lean controls which of course you can keybind to whichever key you want!

    So essentially what we have is with MW3 is run of the mill campaign, but who really expected anything more? We have a mp that went backwards in a good way with getting dedicated servers (for PC im talking about) but then ruins it because you cant rank up and no one will play this game to not rank up in mp! hence why in server browser there are only 400 people compared to matchmaking where its over 44000, what was the point of doing this? BF3 at least has a server browser AND quickmatch function!! is that so hard to do for 2 studios working on this game? This is horrendous and a joke on longtime fans of the series, we all know this game was milking it, but I couldn't believe that a game could take steps forward backward and sidestep at the same time. Lets not forget about the map design, pardon my language but WHAT THE **** Every map feels like the airport map from MW2, every map is small, contained and dependent almost entirely on close quarters and the look of the maps are either A) Destroyed urban or industrial area with rubble everywhere and everything in shambles or B) some random jungle. MW1 and MW2 had the best designs of MP maps in the series, they all had their own personalities as well as were able to differentiate from one another. Black ops had a few very good maps but others really fell flat, and dont get me started on the DLC map packs

    Now the improvements this game brought to the series in my opinion are as follows:

    Pointstreaks as opposed to Killstreaks and different strike package setups: Brilliant, giving people more options as to how to play a game and not allow those who dont depend solely on getting high kills get all the fun with streaks, and having the risk vs reward factor in all the different packages is resfreshing.

    Controls as I said previous are improved and it flows very nice and I havent encountered any issues up to now regarding the controls after completing the MP and SP, and at least they included a Smooth Mouse option so people can have a choice.

    Spec ops, is just as badass as it was in MW2, and the survival mode is a TRUE COD survival mode and is much much better than Zombies (which in my opinion wasn't very hard to beat, but beat it they did and at least 100 fold)

    Graphics for the game are what you expect from Quake 3 tech, and it does have some moments of brilliance surprisingly (i run the game at 5760x1080p) but other moments it does look like an Xbox 1 or PS2 game and makes FEAR 1 look like Crysis. So this is a sort of stalemate in the graphics department

    so just to sum up here:

    Pros:
    Campaign if you liked the past CODs then youll like it, it has its moments, the story sucks tho
    Controls
    Pointstreaks
    Spec Cops/Survival

    Cons:
    Campaign story sucks and if you hate old CODs you wont like this one either
    Lag Compensation = worst idea ever and should be illegal in 60 dollar games
    Servers not able to rank up rendering them useless and no one ways them (PC version)

    welcome to the world of re-hatching games, and convincing us that we absolutely need to buy them through a multimillion dollar marketing campaign. Modern Warfare 3 has nothing new or drastically exciting. Its not a dud, but DEFINITELY not ground-breaking. If you're looking for a game that has a marginally enjoyable multiplayer then here you go.

    Same concept over and over again this is boring. SP good but MP just don't want to play it that's why I give it 5. Also I take back my previous word of BF3 and BF in general. I just had a experience with it because of the PC I used then. But I think this will be the last COD I play.

    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...

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.

Coming off of the outstanding MW2, I expected a lot, but got a cliché' "take the fight to Europe, destroy a few big cities, kill a bunch of people, and walk off feeling epic" game. Then another thing: the entire game is one color. The cities are entirely gray, even the people. The African scenarios are entirely tan. It gets really annoying after a while. Now I'll move on to the multiplayer. I've always hated CoD multiplayer, and this is no exception. Ridiculously hacked lobbies, glitchy games, and a bad community all make it more and more miserable.… Expand

    Not too much to write here: like Black Ops, the game failed, and the main flaw was that devs just haven't introduced something new, which would've refreshed the game.

Additionally, the campaign finally rolled down to Z-grade delirium of the paranoid patient of a mental hospital who's afraid that USSR will bomb the western countries tomorrow and only the brave uncle Sam's sons can fight the red threat, and there's no Zimmer anymore to save the atmosphere of this circus. A bad game, but I feel the worst about CoD is yet to come.… Expand

    A completely intense, hooking and action-packed concluding season for the Modern Warfare Saga. I don't play Call of Duty games for the multiplayer but for the single player -- and I can say CoD: MW3 killed it. Plus, the story is more solid than that of the MW2.

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.    … Expand

    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,    I was very surprised to see 3 points, but I guess people focused on the multiplayer part of the game.

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.    … Expand

    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

    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.
