    I love most things about the game.
    The Graphics are all right, and I don't mind that it's not state of the art, as I'm over the stage where I want to upgrade my PC every year and just have a old cheap one.
    I love the way they've made the different strike packages 'different' so you can play the way YOU want to play. Run n' gun, support you mate's or play offensive. The sound of the guns

    The sound of the guns is also very good.
    The whole RPG'esque upgrade system is also quite satisfying, for an old Diablo gamer here :)
    The new game mode 'Kill confirmed' has a great dynamic feel to it. People naturally group together to make sure the other team won't get the score when their mate dies.

    The story mode doesn't do much for me. It's a little boring.
    Survival's great fun.

    I give this 9/10 as I love the game as it is. I CAN understand that if you've bought and played the first ones, there's just not enough new stuff, though.

    I'm enjoying playing the game, purchased it on both PC and XBox360, Not much of an improvement on MW2 to be honest but I enjoyed that game too. Being red/green colour deficient it is great to have the colour Blind Assist mode. Overall it is great fun but I doubt I'll pay for all the map packs that will undoubtably follow as it does take the P!55 a bit LOL

    Campaign story was great, but it was kinda too short... Other than that, nearly everything is from mw2, some weapons have no change in recoil, and most of sounds are from mw2 too.. It feels like mw2 without overpowered grenade launchers. PC version is bad. Some of features was even taken off, like adjustable FOV... Im disappointed, its not worth 60â

    No matter what this game is good!
    Although the graphics so lame.
    But my Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 love story!
    It seems to me the following year, this game will get much better ratings!
    I also want to mention this game is one of the best in steam on kraynimeree in sales!

    MW3 is a great game, I really enjoy the always fast pasted gameplay CoD has given to us. It runs great on PC, and the graphics are better than I thought it would be. Multiplayer is the best in MW3 the new leveling and killstreak system really makes the game alot more fun! Spec Ops survival mode is awesome, and Campaign is O.K. So overall MW3 is a great game, I highly recommend that you buy it.

    If you are a fan of this series and following storyline from mw1 then this game is a must for you.But if you are only interested for its multiplayer part then i would say it dosent seems that bad either.If you are not a team based player like bf series then you can try this.This game if rated overall then it should get a good score.

The single player is the usual fast-paced, action packed campaign that you'd expect from call of duty. It is much better than the battlefield 3 single player (I love both games). While it is a great tutorial for the multiplayer, playing it through on veteran is a rewarding challenge in its own right. The special ops mode is similar to that of modern warfare 2, with the exception of the newly added survival mode, in which waves of enemies come at you from land, air, and canine. Special ops can be played online with a friend or with some random online player. Multiplayer is very addictive and fast-paced. It is more run and gun than Battlefield 3, with less strategy and team play, but more "action." You can level up you weapons as well as your soldier of course, which is definitely needed to compete. The biggest disappointment I see with the game is the quantity of cheaters/hackers in the multiplayer. In Battlefield 3, this is not a problem. In MW3, a game is ruined the moment a player with an aim-bot or with the ability to see/shoot through walls enters the game. You can be having a blast playing and then the cheaters/hackers ruin it for everybody. This Really Needs to be addressed in a game update or something. Again, I love both MW3 and BF3. Both are great in their own right. Hope this helps. Expand

    I'll break this review down into three parts, singleplayer, multiplayer, and overview.

    To begin with, the singleplayer was good. I like the storyline, as I liked the MW2 storyline and it basically picks up from there. It's really similar to the MW2 storyline as the missions don't really chance all that much (go around shoot bad guys and follow the waypoints), but you know I don't mind
    I'll break this review down into three parts, singleplayer, multiplayer, and overview.

    To begin with, the singleplayer was good. I like the storyline, as I liked the MW2 storyline and it basically picks up from there. It's really similar to the MW2 storyline as the missions don't really chance all that much (go around shoot bad guys and follow the waypoints), but you know I don't mind that style all that much. The characters have personalities and the mission was easy to follow. There were some plot twists that while painful were actually well placed. The singleplayer was just great. Not the mention the Spec Ops missions which are fun, HOWEVER, multiplayer Spec Ops is terrible. I would be playing with a friend on Survival and it was as if we were in two different instances of play. I got eighty kills on one round, while he stood in a corner and didn't get any, while on his screen he got seventy kills and I only got two or something like that. The connection system is broke as hell.

    As for the multiplayer, it had so much potential it's not even funny. The multiplayer brought in the strike package system, where you could either earn assault streaks, support streaks, or specialist streaks. This was truly innovative in my opinion, as compared to previous Call of Dutys you were pretty much stuck with one set of killstreaks. The guns were balanced for the most part with very few exceptions, such as the MP7. The maps were beautiful and just overall well made. The issue with multiplayer, as is with every COD game since COD4, are the freaking hackers. Towards the middle and end of MW3s life, you had a one in five chance of entering into a game with a hacker. It's really quite annoying, and to make matters even worse, Infinity Ward just says "screw you" to us and doesn't fix it. Hackers ruined multiplayer for me.

    All things considered however, I never regretted purchasing this game. I didn't buy a single DLC, because that's just stupid in the first place to pay $60 for stuff that should have already been in the game. This game is still purchasable, as not EVERY lobby contains a hacker and the singleplayer is still worth it. Disregard all of the low ratings for this game as they never gave it a chance. I've played MW3 for about 300 hours and still liked it.

    끝끝내 성공적으로 그리고 감동적으로 마무리 했다는 점에서 박수를. 아직 이 3부작을 이길만한 콜오브듀티는 나오지 않았다. 어쩌면 이때도 멀티를 했다면 다른 평가를 내렸을 수도?

    The final part of MW, the plot is on top, a well-finished MW series. Nothing superfluous, all the characters showed themselves and this arch looked colorful throughout the whole plot.

    MW3 has everything MW1 and MW2 had - intense firefights, solid storyline, different gameplay mechanics, grandiloquent soundtrack and epic moments... A LOT of epic moments. So if anything this installment of the franchise should be rated exactly like the previous two (if not more).

    Great way to close the modern warfare trilogy and say goodbye to our heroes cap. price and soap. This 3rd entry was criticized upon release date for not innovating and giving us more of the same, and that's true but MW3 is an immensely satisfying shooter with epic firefights that feels like an adrenaline rush every time you go through the campaign.

    There are some dramatic moments that lost their bite or effect on us given the recycling of resources and scenes. Every bombastic piece that is new, is yet somehow familiar as they all feel the same as previous MW entries. Despite this recycling, the campaign is still a blast to play and the gameplay experience is still satisfying.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. This is where the overall hate series began. The game was great, but it lacked some news. When we compare the previous parts of Modern Warfare, we immediately see the difference, but this is no longer the case here, and the third Modern Warfare looks more or less like the previous ones. The graphics haven't improved much. Multiplayer is almost the same, evenCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. This is where the overall hate series began. The game was great, but it lacked some news. When we compare the previous parts of Modern Warfare, we immediately see the difference, but this is no longer the case here, and the third Modern Warfare looks more or less like the previous ones. The graphics haven't improved much. Multiplayer is almost the same, even worse. The maps are not nearly as memorable as in the second Modern Warfare and the killstreaks here were ... bad for me. They didn't fit me very well. But where the game does not lag behind is the single. The story is great here. It connects the previous parts very well and makes sense. Overall, I think that the developers were able to find a kind of limit when to throw us a proper action and when, on the contrary, quiet stealth, because in the previous part it was the action itself, until the game did not let you breathe. Here it is balanced and you will see both a proper action and slower parts in the form of flashbacks, which, as I mentioned, explain the events of previous parts. The locations are perhaps the worst and do not have the previous parts, so they are not bad at all and overall Modern Warfare 3 is mainly driven by the campaign, which beautifully closes the Modern Warfare trilogy. So if you buy the game only through singles and you played the previous parts, you will be more than satisfied in my opinion. However, if you are not interested in a single at COD and you jump to multiplayer right away, you may be disappointed and you should rather avoid the game and stay with MW2, which is almost identical in MP and especially better. But I didn't play the mulcher much, because if I wanted to, I went back to the already mentioned previous part of Modern Warfare 2, but I enjoyed the story and I think it's more than a good ending. For me, a great game that beautifully closes the trilogy and I recommend it mainly because of the single. Expand

    Of course, everyone should definitely go through this game. For the most part, it should be recommended to fans of the series.

    Juego decente, mucha diversión con amigos. Sin embargo, los gráficos necesitan trabajo. Pero sigue siendo un juego divertido por derecho propio. No hay nada de malo en una campaña lineal siempre que difunda la historia.

    Я играл в колды со 2 по 11 включительно, кроме гоуст. MW3 однозначно самая сбалансированная и глубокая из всего этого списка. Разделение наград на 3 ветки - лучшее что случалось с мультиплеером колды.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Call of duty modern warfare 3. This game is amazing. Epic missions, memorable characters. This is the last part of the game to be done well. But there is one but. Outdated graphics. No, I'm not talking about today's time, but about 2011. For the same Battlefield 3, the graphics were much better, and even now they are amazing. But in call-of-duty the graphics were outdated. That is why you see such low marks here. But I see no reason to give a bad rating from the graphics if the game has an amazing story mode. A lot of epic, such as in a mission in the London Underground where it was necessary to stop enemies on the way on the train and the train smashes a part of the tunnel. Or a mission in Paris where the Elven Tower falls. It was especially sad when Sope Maktavish died of his injuries after the explosion of the building by Makarov. In the first modern warfare, the story mode was pretty boring but not bad. In the second part, the story mode is at the intermediate level and it is also not bad. But the third part delighted me. Conclusion: the best call of duty I've played. Cons: call of duty turned into a conveyor of the same type :( P.S lowered the rating because of the graphics, and so the game is an underestimated masterpiece Expand

    All the MW series that came out in the PS3 generation for me are one day better cod's because most that came out PS4 are bad. I didn't particularly suffer any moments with the MW series as my focus was only on the campaign and not the multiplayer

    Still don't know how Activision managed to create 3 beautiful actions in a row and just went into town after that releasing a bunch of **** like each year. It's not the best among 3 original MW, but it's still good.

    Thus, I can't recommend buying this unless you (still) like the fast pace, the customizable weaponry and the short matches, of about 10 minutes each. With the very important mention that, essentially, nothing has changed.
