Aug 6, 2012This game is just crap. The PC version is the worst port I've ever seen. Even when you set it to 1080p it renders it in some crappy Sub-HD resolution. And the spawn system is just a piece of **** Half the time you spawn right in front of your enemy. Don't buy this piece of ****

Jul 30, 2012It's basically same as MW:2... cmon this game is not even worth 10$. It sucks so much that i even dont have words to describe how much it sux. Better buy Batllefield 3, its worth every penny!!

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. -

Jul 25, 20125 hours of single player game play for $60.00... WTF this amounts to DLC content for whole hog prices... great cinematics and wonderful voice acting, but the most boring, tedious, and soulless game I've had the displeasure of playing with cheat ridden multi-player content.

Jul 19, 2012This used to be a really enjoyable shooter series. Now the only remotely use it has left for sane individuals is a reminder on what marketing does to the quality of games thanks to greedy publishers. Way to go Activision. I can only truly hope that you people will never figure out how to repopulate.

Jul 17, 2012I played through CoD 4 until CoD Black ops, and i borrowed MW3 from a friend. I can't believe how a developer dares to recycle the same thing every single year, and still people buy it. The only good thing you can expect from CoD is the zombies mode, which is not featured in any of infinity ward's games.

Jul 16, 2012All I will say is that I am glad I bought this game in the sale for £19.99. The story is rubbish, the levels are boring and the game feels like it should have been a DLC pack for MW2. The multiplayer is not as much fun as MW2. I feel sorry for anyone suckered in enough to buy this at full price. Hmm, come to think of it, I am mad with myself for spending £20 on the game!!

Jul 13, 2012Okay this game series has turned to just becoming a mindless shooter after COD: WaW. I mean the whole franchise is just extremely milked. If ANYTHING has the words "Call of Duty" on it, it seems that it becomes famous and sells hundreds of copies.

Jun 14, 2012Its the best game i've ever played, also it is better than Battlefield 3, I don't understand why the User Scores are so much less....for MW3. Also it has a great ending than Battlefield 3. Think so the next version i.e. Black Ops 2 will be Awesome...All the best COD...

May 31, 2012When it comes to competative multiplayer, I'm much more of a Battlefield guy. But when it comes to singleplayer, MW3 wins. I also enjoy the Spec Ops and survival mode, but nothing beats zombies. So I still play Black Ops for that.

May 20, 2012Omg! They might as well, like, just like, call this like, modern warfare like, 2.5 because like, it's like, the same thing, like, iw is like, so dumb like, they wrote almost the same game like, wow man.
-
May 20, 2012Cowboys-Rednecks-Evil Russians-Evil Muslims-Good Guys American Army-Hollywood this game... I dont know what to say and more and more games like this are created but I think COD MW3 is not hated for the same reason I hate it, I dont know what is going on I loved Call of Duty 1 and thats it
-
May 19, 2012This game is just a troll, very bad game, bad graphism, bad gameplay, bad communauty 10 years old kids, map of **** , dlc at 10-15 doll for **** map . And more .........
-
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.
-
May 16, 2012Original MW and MW2 were better. It is not a game, it's a movie with bad graphics. My score for this like a movie - 9, because I have got great fillings watching visual effects. But my score like a game - 5 or 6. I hate shooting in MW3.
-
May 15, 2012Same game as the last ones since COD4. No improvement on the engine whatsoever. Nothing new pretty much a textures pack. Don't waste your time with this cookie cutter title.

May 6, 2012I had received both MW3 and BF3 at launch. Let's just say I sold my copy of MW3 a little while afterwards and still own BF3 today. It is a copy of MW2 with Theater mode, slightly better movement patterns and the most godawful story mode in my experience of gaming. End the Modern Warfare series, Treyarch got CoD going and they should be the only ones doing it.

May 4, 2012Modern Warfare 3 fails in every aspect for a sequel with such high "expectations"
The game has barely been improved, yet, it brags as if it's a masterpiece.
Only twelve year old's play this piece of crap.
RIP MW
2007-2009 -
May 3, 2012Here 's the thing. On the one hand there is a notable amount of effort that has gone into making this game â
-
Apr 29, 2012Well, maybe this game would make me a pleasure but two years ago in mw2. I just fell raped by activision because of buying the same **** Well, may mw2 was great, but if i want to play mw2, i will just turn on it, mw3 should improve gameplay on this old graphic engine. Kotick just laught because all of you where a big part of his joke. I think that BO2 won't in any way different than this ****
-
Apr 29, 2012Its the same old tired game. Why call it a new game or even throwing away the title "cal of duty" unless has some form of insult to previous developers.
MW3 is a another map expansion to MW2. In fact, if they would have released it as a map expansion less people would've had called it crap.
And watch the imbalanced scores between those who write about games and those who play them. -
Apr 28, 2012This game is just not finished.
They copied so many things from previous Call of Duties.
I am not a BF3 fanboy or something, i am a huge cod 4 and 5 fan.
But the last 3 Cods just didn't feel right.
Sorry but this score has to be low for me. -

Apr 27, 2012More of the same, nothing but FPS garbage. This genre has single handedly destroyed gaming and turned the entire industry into one that favors "safe" shallow gameplay with good graphics instead of games that are actually enjoyable.

Apr 23, 2012NOT innovative NOt new NOT very good graphics. these are one of the many reasons why Cod Mw3 was shelved by Cod fans.So if ur new to cod buy it but if not Please dont bother. If u got sick of Mw3 try Battlefield 3 or Counter Strike Source ,there much better games

Apr 16, 2012There obviously don't give a **** about the fans... Lack of support and changing. Gay ass hackers on every corner (On the PC) and **** No lobby servers? **** THAT! That was the gayest ****ing **** i have ever seen.
-
Apr 12, 2012Same game, different year. These games are always well produced and look decent (for a military simulator), but they're basically just soulless Counterstrike-style generic shooters without the cool mechanics that made counterstrike unique and awesome. Tired of bad modern military garbage games being repacked year after year. Leave this one for the kiddies and bads. (Play Tribes: Ascend instead)

Apr 4, 2012Probably the best of the Modern Warfare franchise but in desperate need of more multiplayer maps in the core game. Forget the single player and opt for multi-player.
-
Apr 4, 2012this is game is pathetic, no, almost disgusting I wonder if COD: Black Ops was also nul.J 'love this game a long time but this time it's not very convincing so I recommend you BATTLEFIELD 3 instead.

Apr 3, 2012Overall it is a Good game. But it plays almost exactly the same as the previous Call of Duty games. If you already own MW2 or Black Ops do not buy, you are wasting money.

Apr 3, 2012this is an absolute rubbish console port for the pc. unfair multiplayer with no ranked dedis, bad graphics, no special pc abilities... infinity ward reprinted mw2 with a 3 on the end and activision is digging people's pockets for money. at least the singleplayer's not bad. campaign is crazy as always and spec ops is fun with friends
-
Mar 31, 2012well for me the game is very enjoyable and gameplay is awsome ... BUT i am giving the game score of Z E R **** O because!!!!!! There are hackers everywhere. and when you go to forums to talk about it. Some of the idiots take thier side. i mean we know the difference between wallhack and aimbot !i dont understand why arnt they doing anything! im never buying this call of **** again!
-
Mar 31, 2012The online is where your supposed to get most of your gaming dollars worth but it's almost unplayable because of hackers, and there is no way to kick or catch them so.........If you like lots of **** HACKERS and a COMPANY that doesn't give a **** about YOU then this is your game. The single player is ok

Mar 26, 2012i did give it 10rating lulz, sorry i forgot about the score there worst game of the franchise, i played black ops but i didnt like it anyway, arena type'ish gameplay which feels unreal and gay, DO NOT buy this game please, spend your money somewhere else
-

Mar 22, 2012**** you, MW3. I rarely **** about gemses but I want my money back. It just the same thing as mw2 but with a crappier campain. I seriously cant see why anyone would want to buy this for a full $60, maybe for $20.... maybe.

Mar 14, 2012still kicking myself for paying money for this garbage. black ops had better graphics and gameplay. it's amazing they could actually take 2 steps BACKWARDS, in terms of quality, and publish this. also, why are the maps so ridiculously small? 32 pax on a 16 player map? really?
i've since learned my lesson...STOP preordering games. wait to see the player reviews and comments. -

Mar 7, 2012So, Russia managed to invade the southwest and east coasts AND the central US SIMULTANEOUSLY only to do a backflip into occupying all of Europe. . . instantly. Go back to incessantly reliving WW2. At least then you had a template. Your plot writers are truly awful. Score: -1
-
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

Mar 6, 2012they mislabeled this game was "mw3" even though it's just mw2. this is an embarrassment to gaming. i wonder how many more rehashes they will produce?

Mar 6, 2012Very nice DLC you have there! But its not a game, just DLC. You are just used by EA to get more and more money. Learn to think please ;) Just look - everyone are paying that same cash for longer, better looking and better in storyline games.
-
Mar 6, 2012Let's be honest, no game deserves a 0. Nice single campaign, but the multiplayer experience is practically the same as MW2. So, in my opinion, not worthly of paying $59.99 for basically a cloned game.

Mar 2, 2012COD 4: MW I really enjoyed. MW2 was alright but given that I basically can't remember it can't have been that great. With that said I did get a strange sense of deja-vu playing MW3... If Activision can't be bothered to come up with reasonable plot I can't be bothered to finish writing this... Utterly whatever.

Feb 26, 2012Its an ok game. Dont expect much from it. It has dated graphics, not much new gameplay or exciting ideas, and it just is the same thing as other COD games. And i know everyone is just saying, "Oh this game sucks 0/10!", but it does have good gameplay that is silky smooth. I just became bored with it in as little as 5 hours. Wait for a price drop if you want it.

Feb 24, 2012This is a $100 map pack. It really is. Value for money wise you are getting absolutely shafted. I also wonder why professional reviewers (wouldn't call em critics) are so out of touch with the public. The very first multiplayer game I joined had an aimbotter in it. The second multiplayer game I joined also had an aimbotter. They've fixed absolutely nothing!

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.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 20, 2012Stunning campaign with epic moments makes this third installment of Modern Warfare a great show with the best approach to players. No need to mention an excellent multiplayer. [Dec 2011]
