    The game being rated 3/10 across many platforms by users of Metacritic is one of the most egregious atrocity I have ever seen in my life, especially considering the fact the previous two chapters were received pretty well - two chapters which definitely aren't THAT much better, that's if you are blatant enough to consider them to be better at all.

    The game being rated 3/10 across many platforms by users of Metacritic is one of the most egregious atrocity I have ever seen in my life, especially considering the fact the previous two chapters were received pretty well - two chapters which definitely aren't THAT much better, that's if you are blatant enough to consider them to be better at all.

    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).    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has gotten better with age. I love the ending of a great story with the death of Makarov and the revenge of Price. I like the Multiplayer but Modern Warfare is way more fun. The saving grace is Spec Ops. It is the best in all of Call of Duty.… Expand

    Great way to close the modern warfare trilogy and say goodbye to our heroes cap. price and soap.

    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.    … Expand

    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

    MultiPlayer em 2022 pra 2023 é praticamente MORTO, não compre nessa intenção !!!

    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 !

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been following call of duty since a long time , Modern Warfare 3 was also full of action and fire fights and cod’s multi-player has always been best at graphics and combats .It has been made on an older engine but sure has great graphics and fighting scenes has been crammed together .The important thing that i noted here was it still runs on 60 frames per second , whereas nowadays game have been moving to 90 frames per second which is huge difference.
    It is a bit different from elite though where elite has all the stats and maps loadout given separately but here it's not available , would be very happy if developers add that functionality as well .You can exactly check where you were killed in the map and who actually killed you , it also contains info of spawns points as well as pictures of maps to choose from , this is what i love about cod because it gives you all the options to plan and create a strategy to attack.
    Campaign in call of duty hits a lot of highs and lows as its predecessors we still have a lot of annoying multiple re spawning multiple ghosts closets for enemies and sometimes enemies seems to completely disregard to run past your allies and shoot you , so finally i would say call of duty modern warfare 3 contains a lot of levels and tons of content but it sadly has that unforgettable story as a lot of people are dying unnecessarily inside the game .    … Expand

    It's not good as mw1 and 2. It just feels weak.

    Weapon sounds are bad. They sound like broken glass.

    Special ops gives you another perspective and there is also survival mode. But still it didn't leave the same impact as first mw's.

    They're selling us the same shooter but with different maps. However, they contrived to make it worse than the previous game.

    Important information: Succinctly, the original devs were fired which 1) showed the corporation from a very bad side, they literally robbed the developers 2) led to the poorly developed game.

    The graphics. It just looks worse, because of the colour correction. It's not about the colours themselves, but how the developers presented it. Green, grey, marsh - ideally suited to the setting of the game, these are "military" colours, generally speaking. But here, as they say, there is only one step from love to hate. The "military colours" have become the colours of vomit. As for the image quality, it is not better here either. Blurry textures are everywhere. If I didn't know, I would have thought that this game was released at the same time with Modern Warfare 1 and long before the Modern Warfare 2.

    The plot. With the change in the development method, they also changed the original plot, which was many times more interesting than what we've got in the end. Yes, the story is not that bad. However, at that time it was shocking — the worst plot of all CoDs that existed in 2011.

    The level design is also very bad. Here Treyarch's hand is felt very well: huge corridors and a bunch of enemies that need to be killed. It's hard to explain, but Treyarch lazily creates levels, it's a fact. They stray too far from realism, making the levels arcade-like. Levels are just levels, corridors. Infinity Ward, while creating levels, create a story, you can just walk around the level and delve into the atmosphere (Battle of Washington and EMP). I could still find fault with many things in the plot, but perhaps I'll finish here.

    The only thing worth thanking them for is Special Operations and Survival. Interesting missions you can play with a friend. They have become much longer to play. Also the devs added something like a plot in them, instead of the 100% arcadeness that was in MW2 — not necessarily a positive thing, I, personally, don't care. As for the survival, well, basically the name of the mod.    … Expand

    I felt that the campaign was actually good, with many memorable scenes and a very memorable villain.
