    Can't belive that MW3 singleplayer is better thank BF3 single player? It's true. Story in MW3 is best story in FPS game's history.

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is a good game. Its not innovating, the graphics are not much better then Black Ops and the storyline is over the top. Still this game has a nice campaign, fun multiplayer and a awesome spec ops mode. Everybody who gives this game a 1 is a hater and everybody who gives a 10 is a fan-boy! The game is not perfect but it does what it wants to do!

    Not 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.

    Call 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

    After the subdued tone of Black Ops, Modern Warfare has burst back into life. Visceral, frantic action makes this a must have title. The IW team have taken what was good about MW2 and added additional layers of complexity, making each character that much more diverse. A+

    Excellent!!!Just another cash in of a tired old franchise. Re-releasing a video game every year and making millions is just a slap in the face to real developers who actually take the time to make a decent video game, with a good engine, great online, and a good story.

    Everyone that said it is a the same as MW2 is an idiot or hasn't played the game, the only thing the same is the graphics, new campaign, new spec ops, new multiplayer features and the graphics make all the difference? Get real everyone.

    It's a good game and I believe that all this MW3 hating is a bit silly. It makes me think at all those people who hate Microsoft for Windows, yet still use it. If you hate the game so much, why bother in the first place? You saw MW2 in action. you knew what it was coming to you. Stop **** guys, and be fair. Graphics isn't everything.

    Decent 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

    OMG, I bought this game and its the same **** as modern warfare 2 ? WHY DO THEY SCAM US FOR 60 DOLLAR. This has could been a expansion set for 20 dollar. THIS IS IT. Call of Duty is dead. The graphics are 4 year old, even the guns sounds the same! shame on you activision and IW.

    Let's be honest, it is a great game. Anyone who has given this game a low score has not truly experienced all the game has to offer. Sure the single player is a bit short and hard to follow, but the investment for multi-player and spec ops is second to none. The multi-player is the best I have seen in a Call of Duty game, the perks are not too overpowered, there is good gun balance, theLet's be honest, it is a great game. Anyone who has given this game a low score has not truly experienced all the game has to offer. Sure the single player is a bit short and hard to follow, but the investment for multi-player and spec ops is second to none. The multi-player is the best I have seen in a Call of Duty game, the perks are not too overpowered, there is good gun balance, the new strike packages are amazing. The new support strike package gives a novice player the opportunity to experience kill streaks and contribute to the team. While assault is still the good old kill streaks, and specialist gives you the opportunity to earn perks that make you a killing machine. Oh and spec ops, wow! One of my favorite features of the new game with missions and the all new survival mode which has its own ranking system complete with its own set of unlocks along the way. The PC version is very good. Runs buttery smooth on my machine and also has support for dedicated servers once the option is selected from the main screen. There are a lot of more options on the PC version vs. the console, with dedicated server support you get game types like gun game, in addition the dedicated server support encourages competitive clean play and bans cheaters and hackers. If one is debating on whether to purchase the game, then wonder no more, buy it, don't miss out on the culmination of the Call of Duty experience. Don't listen to the haters, it really is a great game. Any good competitive PC gamer would love this game, take it from me, I have played it. It is an experience all its own.… Expand

    If 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.

    I love it ! Its exactly what you expect after MW2. I only buy the IW Titles, and this one never let me down. My friends and i playing the MP for hours and its even more fun than the campaign. The only complain is, there is no Hans Zimmer music... Hope that MW4 will have Hans back!

    This 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..

Love to see a game about operation "kingfish" in the future, playing as all the beloved characters. Well done Infinity and sledge, you should work to-gather forever :D

    Quite sad the way people are rating this game. The campaign wraps up one of the best stories I have ever played in the history of FPS games. The multiplayer is great. No launch issues what so ever (besides COD Elite but that's a whole different product). I haven't experienced any bugs at all. Overall this will be my GOTY.

The game is in no way broken, it runs silky smooth, and you know what, it is FUN.

    I really didn't want to bring up that other game (battlefield 3) but... I hated it. Last years Medal of Honor was a much better game than battlefield 3 in my opinion, but neither can stand up to MW3

    I say good job IW, Sledgehammer, and Raven. The sales speak for themselves. I love MW3 and so do all of my friends, see you online.    … Expand

    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.
