Nov 12, 2011Great single player, weapon sounds absolutly fantastic. And that perfect crisp control only a Carmack powered game engine is capable of, highly recommended.

Nov 12, 2011Decent game, have both bf3 and mw3. Switch between the two when i get bored of it. Overall I enjoyed both games equally. Although I love battlefields ,multilayer more its a nice change to switch to mw3 once in awhile.

Nov 12, 2011I can't believe the bad reviews this game is getting. This is my first modern warfare game I have played at it is awesome. Perhaps it might be similar to other modern warfare games which I have not played but to a first time player it is unreal! 10 out of 10

Nov 13, 2011BF3 fanboys are so LAME. The campaign was epic, best one til date 10/10. Multiplayer was awesome they did a great job 10/10 and survival mode is kinda fun 10/10.

Nov 13, 2011gostei mais de mw3 do q bf3 tenho os dois originais,gostei mais do mw3 pq acho q o bf3 exagerou nos grafica,ficou bonito os graficos mas para joga no ultra tem de ter um pc de 4 mil reais e gosto de jogar os jogos no ultra

Nov 13, 2011From what i have seen i will not waste my money on this game. i have COD4 (the start of great things), World At War (better...SUPERFUNN), MW2 (spec ops enough said), black ops (four players in zombies .....). now with the user reviews i have seen i think i will just wait till Infinity Ward &Treyarch make games again ohhh and Bobby Kotick start thinking about the users Thanx Kik

Nov 13, 2011Fan-bloody-tastic! Picks up where MW2 left off seamlessly. Graphics 10/10. Sound 10/10, story who cares! Can't get enough, 6 hours is not long enough but I'll be playing multiplayer for months I imagine so all-in-all great value.
-
Nov 14, 2011I'm not a fanboy, but it's simply the best online FPS, I don't see here 1.8 mark. Yes, it may be "DLC for MW2", but it's a sequel to MW2, it doesn't need to have everything changed upside down.

Nov 14, 2011Decent game, lots of fun with friends. Graphics need work though. But still a fun game in its own right. To each his own. Nothing wrong with a linear campaign as long as it gets the story out
-
Nov 14, 2011The best game in the world 10/10 .I love call of dut but im not fanboy i buy bf3 and cod but cod mw3 is the best. Btattlefield is not for me but cod yes
-
Nov 14, 2011Splendid game. Dynamic single, Excellent multiplayer and SpecOps mhmm. I recommend for long evenings. I am from Poland :P Dalej pisze po polsku sram na google translator. Gra wciÄ

Nov 14, 2011Vive La Modern Warfare 3! The Best Game is exciting that better than Battlefield 3. I'm fan trilogy Call of Duty is Best FPS Ever the world! I like the Game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. My opinion is teen!!
-
Nov 14, 2011Amazing-action game. Multiplayer is awesome , worth buying ! Hope BF3 fanboys will not ruin this review page as they are doing it now. They cant realize that MW3 is better game
-
Nov 14, 2011This game deserve a medal, i really love that game, it's same as MW2, and that's why it's a very good game, i loved MW2.
You can say that this is "MW2.5" but i believe that this game is better than BF3, and i'm not alone. -
Nov 14, 2011It's worth noting that this game has a single-player campaign, which many of the reviews bombing it don't seem to take into consideration. If you're interested in only the multi-player modes, then yeah, you'll probably be a bit disappointed. Still, MW3 may not reinvent the wheel, but it's far from a bad game.
-
Nov 14, 2011More maps, full 55" screen resolution. Weapon recycle sounds more relalistic. More weapons. Alternate Kill Streak rewards / Support. Need to decrease weapon sight illumination, I set my Eotech 577 lower. I have 3 x Mag, not sure what power game uses. I like Red Dot and Aimpoint on the same weapon as well as Remington sniper rifle. Have not gotten far enough into MP to see if its available.
-
Nov 14, 2011Hatter gonna Hate, the game is much better then BF3 so far, I'm sure half the vote here do not buy the game, 6.5 millions don't lie, haha feel sorry for those who bought just for trolling.

-
Nov 14, 2011I don't know it has so many bad reviews, it's awesome for me, i love the campaign main story, and the new things they added to the MP, so for me, it's better than MW2
-
Nov 14, 2011This is the best Call of Duty game to date, surprisingly great multiplayer, fantastic story, and Spec Ops is great too (although I have not tried coop yet).
-
Nov 14, 2011
-
Nov 14, 2011Well I see the BF trolls reviews are in, now listen to a rational review. If you enjoy the other Modern Warfare games, you'll like this one. Sure, not a whole lot different going on, but the campaign is amazing and the game is still fun. Screw the haters, if you like COD this game is for you.
-
Nov 14, 2011Don't let all the reviews tell you the game is bad I have played every cod and this one is great just like cod4 gun on gun fights and mw2 kill streaks(new ones also). The people who give the negative rate more then likely are bad at the game or there pc is stone aged.COD MW3 is great!!!
-
Nov 14, 2011Great game love the new guns/kill streaks 75 plus clan members getting there copy this weekend happy times for [AAG]. And for all the bad reviews the game is great sure some bugs here and there but future patch will clear it up.

Nov 14, 2011I am sorry!!! I speak a little English. In my opinion Call of Duty MW3 is the best first person shooter on the world. I love MW2. MW3 is a new MW2, new map, new challenges, new kill strikes, new sound effects only old graphics!!!! I love that game so much.
-
Nov 14, 2011I love this game it is one of the best i ever played. Mw3 has one of the beast multiplayer experiences and the new spec ops mode is cool. All in need to say is this game is An amazing game.
-

Nov 27, 2011This game has really come into itself. It has started to pick even though we are hopeful for admin tools like Black Ops. Our clan has started to embrace this game as we are a COD clan and always will be. Support is key from the makers of this game and I hope they will follow through..

Nov 14, 2011Great game, FUN and i enjoy it! Atleast is not like bf3 and wait 2 min before getting into action! GREAT JOB 10/10 ! I was not sure to buy this game but now i know i made the good choice
-
Nov 14, 2011I never play a CoD, but this game is very impressive! The pc version, of course.

Nov 15, 2011Amazing! Really fun expierience with friends and other poeple. U must try it. Graphics are similar to MW2 but it's good. Game is whole similar but it's good too, because for what changing something good?!
-
Nov 15, 2011Awesome game but they need to make better anticheats. For evreyone who **** think its the same game. Evreyone complained you f*cking hate Black Ops. Mw2 was the bomb they made mw3 ofc it`s little simular to the mw2 but itts awesome game isnt it ? So stop whining like a little bit*es.

Nov 15, 2011Me parecio muy bien optimizado, la historia no es larga pero es elaborada... no veo como un CONTRA que se parezca al MW2, es mas... me prece un PRO, ya el MW2 es un excelente juego. Igual creo que hoy en dia lo que importa en un juego y que le da longevidad es el MP, esperemos que el MW3 sea la conbinacion entre MW2 y el COD4. Espero no nos desilucionen con los MODTOOLS.

Nov 15, 2011It's the best. I mean if you liked MW(MW2) - you will like this. I like everything - story(well, it's not the most original one, but it's still good), Spec Ops(it's a lot of fun) and of course the engine of the game(which allows me to have beautiful graphics without change of my PC).
P.S. Sorry for my bad English. -
Nov 15, 2011Le meilleur jeu auquel j'ai jamais jouer! C'est du pure delire, je ne serait pas vous dire mes mots quand je l'ai lancé pour la première fois mais en dans tout les cas une joie immense.
-
Nov 16, 2011I like it a lot. Especially the new survival mode is great. No big changes in the multiplayer but it's awesome to.
The end of the story is just Epic. -

Nov 16, 2011This game is so much fun, and so well designed. The extra features are amazing. Overall I think that this is an amazing game and well worth the price.
-
Nov 17, 2011Its a very good game
They enhance perks for multiplayer and kept the gameplay and I LIKE IT.
I saw a lot of comparison with BF3 and its not the same game
BF3 is only beautiful and i dont like the gameplay but i prefer arcade game like MW3
Keep this way Infinity Wards
MW3 is VERY GOOD -

Nov 19, 2011If anyone expected this game to be differant they obviously didn't realize that business is ran a certain way. MW3 is obviously a continuation - And I Love It
They continued the single player story perfectly with all the favorite characters.
I won't say this game is perfect - It's got alot of the same stupid bugs as the last games. BUT IT IS GREAT FUN TO PLAY! -
Nov 19, 2011this low score is due to the idiots who can not enjoy a good game rather than get involved with the game, they are more concerned with minimum graphics detail.

Nov 20, 2011I'm really enjoying this game, it's so much fun if you have friends to play with, the MP works really well on my PC and I do not have a very good PC for gaming so, hands down, it's great. The Spec Ops is awesome in two players, you can have soo much fun in Survival. What more can I say? Don't fall for what others are saying about the game, cause for some it works!
-
Nov 20, 2011Do not listen to the sad trolls and Battlefield 3 fanboys. None of them have actually played the game and seen how superior it is to the abomination called Battlefield 3.

Nov 20, 2011If you liked previous CoD games, you will love MW3. MW3 has some very nice improvements over previous titles. Such as, strike packages, gun proficiencies, and the prestige shop.

it's good game but not match change then Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2... -

Nov 26, 2011The game satisfied me completely. It is, as always, cool and full of action. I've replayed it twice already, and will do this many times in future. Thanks devs for giving ability to see the end of the trilogy on my PC, which I upgraded specially for the first MW. You ROCK guys!
-
Nov 29, 2011Not worth the hassle. It's like they tried to put a game in a game that was never meant to have set game, you know? It doesn't belong in the Call of Duty franchise and it should never have had the number 3 in it, because it is a fake game.
-
Dec 26, 2011A Metascore of 2.1? Of course. BF3 fans are spamming. I've only played the 'Gun game', 'Survival' and 'One in the Chamber' gamemodes locally, and I can already tell that the game is not the same. Of course, some of the weapons and perks are the same, but why fix what's already great? Besides, it's an FPS. They're all the same.
-
Dec 13, 2011Campaign 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
-
Dec 15, 2011Campaign was short but still I'm with the side of Call of Duty franchise. Nice story with a nice ending. Multiplayer, have the same graphics but still added features to give the gameplay a twist.
-
Dec 27, 2011the game runs smoothly on a low spec pc. but still has really good graphics. i love this fact about it. the story picks up from the prequel to modern warfare 3 (mw-2). real intense storyline. you will play two new characters.
-
Jul 30, 2012Great game. Compare to blackop the graphic are really good. Run smoth on my computer. Best graphics I have seen in my life.
Nice sound.
I did not play much the sp, but for the time I played it was good.
The mp is great, some problems with the netcode but most of it run pretty well. -

Mar 7, 2012Call of Duty 3 is a shooter game about invading Russia like in world war 2. You play as american soldier who fight in historical battles like stalingrad and gettysberg. once you kill enough russians you have to fight vladimir stalin who is boss of russia like in real life. This is very good game, I recomment for history buff or war veteran 10/10

May 16, 2012Game is a game which good players can shine and stomp entire teams. It is what people ask for when they ask for skill based. Totally worth the money although expansion isn't worth getting since BO:2 comes out.

Sep 23, 2013Sure it's like mw2 and mw1, but its still tonnes of fun. I'd recommend buying this game on sale on steam when on sale. Don't get blops 2 because that's complete trash.

Apr 10, 2012Thus, 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.
