    COD MW3 it´s not a bad game, but only if you don´t have MW2 or black ops, for the type of game it´s overpriced, maybe 40 dollars will be a more realistic price for this game.

    No game can get a 0, however bad it is. I am aware that BF3 is a superior game when it comes to MP, but MW3 certainly does not deserve a 0, or a 3 for that matter, because of such a silly reason.

Still, whoever bought MW3 should have seen this coming. Since the beginning of the "CoD revolution", little has changed. The core gameplay has remained the same, and most importantly, the MP has seen only minor changes. So, instead of wasting your time ruining MW3's Metacritic score for no justifiable reason, play some BF3 and enjoy yourself, because extreme prejudice isn't going to get you anywhere.    … Expand

    It's a great game, or better, DLC. They are only selling a DLC with a price game. Campaign very exciting, but there's nothing revolionario, same graphics, the sound can not help but compare with BF3, BF3 is that the more real. Is it worth buying when the price down, or have a good promotion on Steam.

    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!

    Makarov should be more badass, we see him just a few moments in the game, and despite the storytelling is pretty good is more the same. MULTIPLAYER= This is really pissed me off, CHEATERS everywhere, they know where you are, I've got a guy in my team, who had 122/5 in a 12 players TDM in less than 2 min, this is just impossible.

    The multiplayer should be better, with some real improvments as Veihicles and that sort of thing, I know COD is more Frag, but , still, we need at least a real helicopter experience, we saw this pretty good in BLACK OPS single campaign. So why they keep avoiding to using this in Multiplayer. Is the consoles limit?

    So I think for the Single Player campaign the game deserves 8.0 and for the Multiplayer if they take care of cheaters 8 as well if not, I'm gonna give a circular ZERO.    … Expand

    It's a solid game with the strongest singleplayer of the entire series with some amazing moments and decent visuals for the ageing engine. Coop is solid with survival mode and spec op missions. The multiplayer maybe more of the same but thats not a bad thing as the majority still love it.

    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?    … Expand

Who cares if the graphics are the same though, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Although many of you would like to see an improvement, I actually do not mind. In my personal opinion not having dedicated servers doesn't matter. The matchmaking system allows you to play with your friends in a party and find other players within your area providing you with usually consistent ping.

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.    … Expand

    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.    … 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.    … 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

    The multilayer too suffers from the feeling of deja vu. The game is still meat grinder completely lacking in anything more than the most basic teamwork mechanics. It's still the twitch shooter with the tiny maps and instant death weapons. It has the kill streaks and they are just as annoying as they were in cod4 and mw2. As a bonus the graphics look as they were four years ago. The bottom line is that mw3 is a 60 dollar expansion pack. If you want to fork over 60 dollars for the same thing , go right ahead , at the very least the stuff that is there is slightly more refined. but if you are short of money or even just want to save up for other games , then just go back mw2 or black ops your wallet will thank you.    … Expand

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.

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

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

The strike packages and the additional game modes are an interesting addition though it does feel like more of an expansion of MW2 than an entirely new game (and the brief single player certainly doesn't warrant the additional cost). The number of maps included with the game was certainly a pleasant surprise.

    If you've never played a MW game before, you certainly can't go wrong with MW3 but you might be better off picking up the original MW/CoD4 as it is (in my opinion) the best game in the series so far.

    Activision need to avoid driving this series into the ground (like they have with other titles) and take a couple of years off. Spend some time listening to the players and come back with some fresh ideas for the next MW game.    … Expand

I would recommend purchasing the game when it goes on sale as it is worth playing.… Expand

    Well, here goes. Modern Warfare 3 is certainly not a bad game, not in the slightest. i enjoy how they continue the campaign story and tie it up, but this is the only CoD title I've ever pre-ordered, and i am sad to say I'm disappointed i did pre-order it.

MW3, unlike what people thought it would be, is certainly NOT the most anticipated game ever. i literally just bought it, and im on day 2 and i'm already back to Battlefield Bad Company 2. The story is, somewhere in between good and great, but the actual campaign has little to no replayability. of course, i develop close bonds with the main characters, but that doesn't mean i actually enjoy the campaign. The multiplayer is just MW2 with a MW3 coat of paint. granted, this game is MUCH better than Black Ops, but i expected more from the creators of CoD 4 and MW2. PLEASE DONT BUY IT NOW IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!!!! wait 'til the prices drop, or you will have wasted 20 dollars on what i think should be a 30 dollar product (and that's just being nice). I gave it a 6 just because it bored me even more than it did replaying MW2 for the sixth time over, but on its own, it's pretty good. Of course, the multiplayer AND singleplayer weapons are much more on par than CoDBO's were. Spec ops, even though i havent really done much of it yet, is ok, but the scenarios could be a bit less hard. All that stuff they say about the new multiplayer things, dont get all hyped. It's just same-old same-old every man for himself kinda thing that we've had for the past 7 games. It kills me inside to write this, because am truly a fan of CoD, but i must give the truth. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is a much better choice, even with all the corporate bullcrap that EA gave it. It also kills me inside to just stop playing after 5 hours of campaign and roughly 30 minutes on multiplayer to go play battlefield, but i just cant stand all the solo, no teamwork stuff that is CoD. But dont believe all the people that gave it a low rating, those are just the younger battlefield fanboys who like CoD, too. FINAL CONCLUSION: MW3 is a rather good game. The campaign story is well put together, but the actual singleplayer gameplay leaves more to be desired. Multiplayer, nothing has changed. remember when you thought Black Ops would be radically different with the points buying guns system? Not only are they back to the same old level up stuff, but i am just depressed with how little they added to the multiplayer. even the maps are the same freaking things. Graphics, jesus christ, they didnt even change the goddamn textures. this game is barely worth $30, based on the previous two, which were totally worth the money. I am sad to say, i slightly disapprove of this game. i hate saying it, especially because its probably the conclusion of the series, but it leaves more to be desired. Thanks a lot InfinityWard, you broke my freakin heart.… Expand

    Nothing groundbreaking or innovative Feels more like an expansion pack than a full game Having played through a large chunk of the SP game and starting my multiplayer experience tonight (will feedback on that another time but initial thoughts are same game different colour log in screens) I must say I am a little underwhelmed by what is on offer for a game which retails much higher than most other titles on the market. It seems that IW totally forgot that technology has come on leaps and bounds since their last release, I am shocked how bad the graphics are in comparison to other titles released this year (Crysis 2, Battlefield 3). Yes, i know that graphics are not everything but some sort of effort to make it look like that actually have actually bothered to move things forward in the last few years would of been nice. Direct X 11 wold of been nice, destructible environments maybe?

    As for the campaign at times it felt like a chore which just involved running / shooting / dying and no WOW factor whatsoever. Most the time I would just end up getting killed from some random enemy who appeared out of nowhere. Some parts were OK and showed a bit of quality (the plane crash) but some were just so boring. Getting a Steam achievement at the end of each level was more like a thank you for not getting bored and turning the game off in frustration. I would love to expand a little more but don't want to add any spoilers. I have played through BF3 and thought that was more engaging, maybe this was down the the better more advanced engine that took advantage of my graphics card (A GTX 570). BF3 had it's flaws but it felt like a new game in comparison to BFBC2 which made it feel like money well spent. It also felt like EA treated PC gamers with a little more respect by giving us something extra and make us feel a little bit special (64 player multiplayer). Though I must admit the leveling on BF3 is a little slow and I am cannot fly any of the helicopters / planes no matter how many tutorials I watch :) I really do feel short changed (I got really hyped up and geeked out over the COD launch stream on IGN) but now wish I would of saved my money in reflection, I am not sure if all the reviews on here are from trolls (1.4 is a little low) but it certainly does not feel like it deserves the 90% (I feel 6 is a more realistic score) it has scored through professional review sources (are Activision really nice to reviewers or something, I baffled to how it gets such a high score). COD has a huge market share at present and this release feels like Activision take this for granted. This is a Medal of Honour waiting to happen (can you remember when Cod was the underdog). I really hope that the next release pushes the boundaries, is a little more daring, brings us something new and gives back that value for money feeling earlier titles brought. Otherwise I can see that market share diminishing and another title entering the market and becoming the new king of the FPS genre. I don't think that this would be Battlefield as it will always have the COD vs BF fan's that will stay loyal. I think it will be a new IP that attracts gamers from both camps. Also a good idea at this point is not to piss off PC gamers as it is a growing market (once again) with consoles starting to show their age and a good few years before anything next gen is on the shelves. We are not all pirates (in fact I have over 160 Steam games, check my profile) but If PC gamers do not feel value for money then future releases will just get downloaded off Pirate Bay for free!

The multiplayer i was hoping would rescue this title from the growing shadow of its older brother MW2. The level design on is cramped.

Graphics and and audio are all the same with the core of the game centered around running and gunning.

I bought this game because I was excited that IW was bringing back dedicated servers to us PC gamers. I boycotted MW2 because they took away dedicated servers, so seeing them return was rather nice. But then I find out that the dedicated servers are NOT ranked, so if I want to unlock anything I have to play the game the way IW wants me to play it. NOT the way I want to play it. I honestly don't understand how IW justifies a 60 dollar price on a game that has less features than MW1 and uses the same graphics engine as MW1 (albeit they improved on this over the years.) The whole game reeks of laziness as I see all the maps are super tiny, and only seem to favor people that like to "run and gun." But what about those of us that like to use a little strategy or have more than 18 people in a map? What about people that don't want to "run and gun" the whole time? I give the game a 6 because of the single player campaign and because the game is not completely broken. But it HAS lost everything that made MW1 great. I am going to try to find a way to get my money back. I am sad that IW has stooped to making this when they clearly know (or used to know) how to make a good game.

Single player campaign is similar to MW2 but with less spice twists and thrills. I was expecting an all out mayhem but instead i get a few "good fights" every now and then accompanied by a few "shocking" scenes ( not even close to the "no Russian" chapter joyful massacre). The campaign kicks in strong but all the intensity and excitement fades away soon. I also think the campaign must be smaller than MW2's or at least it feels like it is. Multiplayer is a review on its own. Graphics are like a polished MW2. Guns may look a bit better but overall its all the same deal as in MW2. No real changes. Soundwise i'll have to say that i really enjoyed the campaign score since it really adds up to the whole experience but tha'ts not enough. All the sounds are the same as MW2 with the exception of the majority of gun sounds. Most are just worse. Especially if you attach a silencer. Rest are the same as MW2. Now as far as gameplay ( which i believe is the most important part of a game. Gameplay > graphics)
    Single player is a linear story line picking up from the point MW2 ends and progresses through the eyes of various soldiers, deltas and so on. Nothing different from MW2. But who cares about Single Player anyway? CoD is all about Multiplayer right?

    Multiplayer. Mixed feelings about it to be honest. One can say that MW3 Multiplayer is a big content patch of MW2. I wouldn't blame him since i get the exact same experience by playing MW2. the new kill confirmed mode is nothing more than a deathmatch with dogtags you have to pick from the dead. No real difference than the actual TDM. Everything else is the same. CTF, DOM, SAB, S&D are all there both in normal and in hardcore. I havent noticed the really "awesome" third person mode from MW2 so i guess devs realized that it was an insult to all intelligent life on this planet so they removed it :) There are only a handful of maps and this stupid voting system remains. They somehow improved it by allowing us to vote between 2 maps per session. There is no more random map selection in case the original selection was voted to skip by the players. It's either this map or that map now. However i get the feeling that there is a limited amount of maps. Also most of the maps are medium to small size urban battlefields suitable for UMP madness and campers and less joy for snipers and such. Now lets see how soon the first DLC will arive.
    Guns. Although they finally added a few of "must have guns" 90% of the MW2 weaponry is here. New additions in all weapon categories. For the complete weapon list just use google :P I do have to say that i dont see a lot of eastern toys (again)..All the rifles are western with the exception of the AK47. Same goes for all the weapon categories.. They also removed the FN FAL :( Weapon handling is identical to MW2. You wont need to get used to MW3 guns at all. Classes. I have to say i really like what they did. In MW3 you get to customize your class to its full extend. I like the fact that you can lvl up weapons now and customize your loadout even further. I also like the new killstreak system and its mechanics. Again you can customize your loadout with a much more efficient way.
    One thing i don't like is the absence of the nuke and the fact that you can reach tier2 and tier 3 killstreak rewards even if you die in the middle since once you reach the first "checkpoint" by obtaining your first killstreak if you die right after the killstreak count is not back to 0 but to its last killstreak checkpoint. In other words if you need 14 kills to call in a AC130 and you reach 5 kills and call in a predator and then you get killed the game will put you back to your 5 killstreak count meaning you ll need 9 more kills to call the AC130 while in MW2 you would be back in 0. Lame. Another thing i really hate and i hoped they would have it fixed (apparently the didn't) is the UMP and the pain it delivers. I think that this weapon is by far the most OP gun i have seen. It's like equipping your BFG and head out to kill everyone. I'ts recoiless it has tremendous accuracy and range it's light and has a superior rate of fire. If you master the UMP then every other single weapon is obsolete.Great balance. Oh and for those that haven't heard. IWnet will be our bff in MW3 as well. Apparently they don't like server based multiplayer in IW and Activision. Suffice to say that Lag and host issues are thriving. Also MW3 hates my router as well. NAT is always strict unless i DMZ my router just like in MW2. If you are addicted like me buy it now. If you use your head and respect both your hard earned cash and your intelligence don't buy it and either buy another game or wait for its price to drop. Hope my review was helpful.    … Expand

The main flaw with the campain is that it all felt reused. levels felt as if i had been there before in previous games and looking back we had. the story was stock standard military fiction which for the younger audence (alot of whole shouldnt be playing this game) would be fresh and new, but to anyone over the age of 18, who have read or watched military fiction in the past nothing should take you by surprise.

    The Spec ops mode is the same out of MW2, this is no bad thing. Some of the missions alow you to play out campain segments but from the other sides view point, This is honestly the most interesting part of the game, particulary if you play the campain first. I wish all the spec op missions followed this structure but some are just copy paste and pick up these things on the way.

    The online multiplayer i have very mixed feelings about. I am level 57 currently, so i have decent experence with the online. the strike packages idea is great. but the assult package is so flawed that over the comming weeks as players pick these things up it could ruin the multiplayer experence. The Assult package, what should be a high risk high reward set up is actualy low risk with very high reward. To prevent the loss of your streek you want to reduce the chances of your death, this means to be sucsessful with this package the player is best suited to perks that prevent equipment or killstreek deaths, aswell as useing silences and uav jamers /prevention perks. This realy encourages camping, 5 kills in a row is enough to get you steamrolling. this is a massive problem in there new gamemodes such as kill confirmed or classisc domination in wich players need to pick up objects to score / prevent score or be at specific locations.
    The "MLG Pro" culture CoD is pushing dosent help much eather. the community is full of "xXxpr0scop3zxXx" and "MLGn00bHuNtEr" that is equal parts sad tofrustrating seeing people on your team trying over and over again for "no scopz" and "kn1fe only" while i can see this could add a degree of chalenge for a player that they may enjoy, the more x's and z's in there name the more likely it is that they are trying to get footage.

    apart from that The multiplayer is MW2, not bad, not that great eather. but if you get in to it prepare for as much grief as success.

    Other grips with the game are:
    -minor graphical issues, and slightly dated graphics.
    -same ui assets, text fonts, etc.
    -character voices always rushed
    -military lingo used at every opputunity in and out of context.

    but these things are so very minor that they dont realy effect how I would score the game, they just feel a little tacky. Like timber vinal in a car.

    CoD is becoming the Justin Biber of the gaming world, Everyone but its super dedicated fanbase is seeing its problems. The currecnt fps's of today are all ready to drift to the background. CoD is lucky that there is nothing new or fresh in the market to compeate because sadly this will be the only online console fps realy played this season.    … Expand

Ever since the game went towards consoles as its main focus (I'd say the turningpoint was post-CoD 4) I have had a certain amount of dissapointment whenever I played through a new call of duty. In this installment there seem to be alot of small things that add up to a very flawed game. Don't get me wrong, I liked the campaign (even though it took me only roughly 4 hours to complete it, which is in all honesty very, very short). And i'm having a blast in some parts of the multiplayer. The specialist streak is fun, and i'm very happy sniping is back to the way it was pre-blackops. That's basicly what I have to say about the good stuff. On to the bad stuff, with a focus on the multiplayer part of the game.

    The first multiplayer thing I tried out was the Survival coop. In the very first game I played something went wrong with the game's netcode and me and my partner got desynced, causing very strange (a bit funny) behaviour. This has happened quite often again, and it's ruining the coop experience. Hope this gets fixed asap.

    The online multiplayer, here we go, commence the ranting:
    - The maps are too small, too cluttered and too dense. When you create a weapon balance without stopping power that relies on all weapons killing extremely fast, you should not have very small maps where you spawn on top of each other. When you are playing well defending an objective and you can get attacked from 4 diffrent angles due to faulty spawns and insane killspeeds, this takes away a large part of the skill ceiling, keeping it very low. Bad players can just spawn behind a good player and kill him with no chance to retaliate. This is bad, and very counter-intuitive for competitive gameplay.
    - weapon balance is off, but this is to be excpected. I won't drag the rating down because of this, we'll have to see how fast IW responds with patches.
    - The titles and emblems are (like alot of other things in the game) copies and pastes of the previous MW installment. In many cases the emblems even correspond the same old challenges from before. This comes over as very cheap and lazy. It can't be very difficult or costly to have a few artists spend some days creating new art, achievements and challenges.
    - IWNET. On the PC, as much as they would like for this to work, it really, really doesn' t do it. Latencies are terrible, even with good connections. Wait times are enormous. (1 minute after every game, searching takes up to 5 minutes, etc...). This was the only thing Blackops did right in my opinion. Dedicated servers, like the unranked ones, are the only true solution for a PC platform. Oh, and using "piracy, anti-cheat and rank hacking" as excuses for using IWnet are garbage. It is possible to change the rate at which you gain XP simply by editting a TEXT file on the CLIENT side. So if you really wanted to put in an effort to reduce these things, you would have. Making sad excuses is not going to convince the intelligent people amongst the gaming populace.
    - There are more, smaller more detailed flaws, but for the sake of legibility of this comment-review I will not go into them. Feel free to contact me if you want to know more ;)

    All in all it's certainly not a bad game. The biggest problem is that it looks, plays, sounds and acts like someone just took the work of the previous IW team, MW2, fiddled around with it a bit, added some things here and there, broke some things here and there and then released it to the public as a new game. As i said before, it all looks a little "cheap".

    I hope the people from IW/Sledgehammer read this review and realise that it's not yet too late to fix a number of issues, and to listen to the community and not wait until the next MW installment to fix general problems. The metacritic scores given here, while drastic, do reflect a general gamers concensus about this game. Talk to us, listen to us and who knows, maybe you can go back to creating the game that COD used to be in the COD 2/ COD 4 days.

    Not the best maps ever. If Infinity Ward had made the game by them self it would be awesome but I think Sledgehammer Games made it look more towards Black Ops. Worth a try!

    Vanilla repetitive shooter with a really shallow story. The multiplayer kinda fun though and the survival mode is pretty fun especially with friends. Its playable and kinda enjoyable, but it looses its appeal really fast. 6/10

    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.    … Expand

    Well mates, I'm not going to judge MW3 on the basis of how extra-ordinary Bf3 may or may not be (I'm a BF3 man myself, though ;P). I'd much rather view the game as it was meant to be: standing on it's own two feet. If there's one thing I'm not, It's a CoD kiss-up. MW3, has so much to discuss.

    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.    … Expand

    MW3 is more of the same. Continuation of the story from MW2. My breakdown is as follows:

    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

    Nothing innovative here. Overall, average game.

    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 !
