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.

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 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 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.

Oct 13, 2012fun game when ur not playing with hackers. 3/5 games. its 2012 and completely ridiculous that hackers still exist in a game like this. lets see.. its been over a year and its still $60.. countless dlc for $15 bucks which usually contains like 2 maps. and they dont care about the game once its out. sounds like EA has had a hand in this LOL gg guys.

Dec 6, 2014MW3 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. -
Oct 6, 2012Really, REALLY horrible game, old and dusty multiplayer, crappy 4 hr. campaign, basically MW2 repackaged, which was COD4 repackaged, lacks any originality.

Oct 29, 2012So how many times is the main stream gaming community going to spend a ridiculous amount of money on the same game, in a different setting, with different weapons? just look at graphical comparisons and gameplay mechanics from the previous games, its amazing how they look almost identical and play almost identically! c'mon people the game doesn't even have a physics engine!
-
Nov 2, 2012If you want to spend your money on a good game, buy either Black Ops or MW2. Full of campers and hackers, lame singleplayer, full of bugs, blurry graphics and sounds of Airsoft guns. It's what this game is. MW2 for noobs. Since MW2, CoD has begun going worse and worse...
-
Nov 1, 2012Three things:
*Infinity ward broke the online matching system on Modern Warfare 2, thus "forcing" you to buy MWF3 to play the same game. Ripoff.
* IT'S TRUE! They have copied everything from past games. Ripoff.
* It's full of cheaters! -
Dec 6, 2012Disgusted with the latest COD games, in SP you have more and longer cut scenes instead of fighting.. One of the worst games I played, I can't even connect to the MP servers cause my ping is so high BUT when i play any other COD except for any of the MW series, the MP works great. I'm giving this game a: 0
-
Nov 18, 2012I preodered mw3 hoping it would be good since mw2 but i was a bit disappointed with the game. It was pretty obvious that this game wasnt created by infinity ward.I dont there was any good missions in the campaign and there wasnt any good multiplayer maps.
-
Nov 16, 2012Ever since mw2, the COD franchise has been a complete pile of steamy **** I don't see any real improvements in gameplay. Essentially the same game over and over... And over, just painted a different picture every time. That's why I'm such a battlefield fan, because every time, the improvements blow my mind. That's something to keep paying for.
-
Nov 22, 2012I played half of the first campaign level and became bored instantly, so cliche and same old graphics and effects. a few games of multiplayer were okay, so similar to mw2... how can they resell this and put a 3 on the end?? it's basically a map pack for mw2! i've been a diehard cod fan since cod 1 but this is rubbish, activision know they just need a successive number to earn big money
-
Nov 28, 2012Full cheaters here, and Activision dont make nothing about it!. And Activision dont make nothing about it!. That is very sad. That is 60 buck to the trash!
-
Nov 30, 2012I pre-ordered MW3 back then only because I wanted to know what was going to happen to Markov. I don't play multiplayer mode. The single player campaign has no innovation, and parts of the storyline and character are ridiculous. This is a disappointment to the franchise.

May 18, 2013pure crap. after years of using the same outdated engine, enemy AIs still freeze in place, campaign glitches and nothing has been fixed. multiplayer is just as bad, with every gun being so unbalanced.

Apr 25, 2014The copy paste mentality of the developers is unforgivable. They have made too many games with the same engine and no innovation to call themselves game developers. They just take the same **** and put a new picture on it.

Nov 20, 2013Worst and most overrated game ever. It is so $$$$ing bad. I luckily was able to get a refund. The experts here should go themselves in the $$$hole. I never played a worse game.
-
Nov 18, 2013This game has trickshooters, across the map knife throwers and more noob tubers than chinese guys, as if this game wasn't bad enough alone, literaly the worst CoD out there(worst even than BO2) and now you even have INVISIBLE GUYS, like wtf as if this game needed any more ruining.
-
Nov 29, 2013This is the first shooter game with battle vehicles that i have played. Awesome story, Not too easy for find ammo, and moderate gameplay. But lacks of graphics.
-
Aug 26, 2016Overrated also MW3!!!!!! Stille the same: funny, good gfx, good movements, but very very very simple... no tactics, just some run run run, cover, aim, shoot, move, run run run... 6 maximum... no more!!! And, also, very short in SP... 6!!!
-
Dec 21, 2013Ok its Call of Duty need I say else? The story is more of the same and the game play is even worse. It gets boring around an hour maybe two and besides multiplayer there isn't much to do. There is Survival I will say that earns this game its points and you can end up spending many hours on end on that one. All be it its not the best Call of Duty game it could be worse
-
Jan 22, 2014Hackers, lag, and lag compensation ruined this game!!! The multiplayer is broken, and this is coming from a guy who is an experienced COD player. I played all COD up to MW3, and stopped buying this crappy series after this POS game. Until they fix their game, Activision will not get any more of my hard earned money!

Mar 2, 2015incredible story, good addictive multiplayer for players elite excellent especias operations so the problem seems very mw2, even graphic, same weapons some ways changed
-
Jul 25, 2015Bad bad bad. no one want to play a game full of KIDs (7-15 years old). It was fun at first then hack come along but the worst is KIDS they are everywhere ruined the whole gaming community :(
-
Oct 6, 2015The game actually nice, the story is very good and multiplayer support, however, the producer forgot to add the LAN system they promised.
I judge the game as they are, proportional, not like "haters" who hate the game
anyway, score is 8 except there is LAN support.
And please, disable Lag Conpensation then 9,6 it is -

May 29, 2016A completely intense, hooking and action-packed concluding season for the Modern Warfare Saga. I don't play Call of Duty games for the multiplayer but for the single player -- and I can say CoD: MW3 killed it. Plus, the story is more solid than that of the MW2.

-
Sep 19, 2018I played MW3 only to finish the story of MW trilogy. If you played MW or MW2, then MW3 won't offer ANYTHING new for you. Finished the singleplayer in 5 hours and uninstalled it immediately after last story cutscene ended. CoD is dead series for me from now on.

Story continues but this the same game.
It has its moments and overall a really good game. -
Oct 12, 2018Mw3 is an okay game. The single player is way better than battlefield 3 campaign. Sadily, the multiplayer in bf3 is way fun and more to do than mw3. Mw3 feels like dlc to Mw2.

Nov 1, 2018Игра отлична. Хорошие если не идеальный конец Modern Warfare. Хороший геймплей. Игра не долгая и не короткая. Сюжет хороший.

Sep 29, 2019In general I liked Modern Warfare 3. It has some problems, but I thing this game a normal shooter with not bad story about some typical things that were famous in american action movies from past.

Dec 29, 2018Игра шидевр! Просто лучшая игра всех времён и народов. Какая графика, какой графон!

Jun 1, 2020Had an awesome time playing this game both in single and multiplayer. The story is awesome and the multiplayer maps were awesome too! it's more call of duty on the ground without people jumping around with ridiculous looking skins! you can't go wrong!

Jan 16, 2021Firstly, I enjoyed this game. But it wasn't quite what I expected and I wasn't super impressed. I mean it wasn't a bad experience but the campaign mode was really short again. Anyway. 6hrs on record.

Jan 17, 2022끝끝내 성공적으로 그리고 감동적으로 마무리 했다는 점에서 박수를. 아직 이 3부작을 이길만한 콜오브듀티는 나오지 않았다. 어쩌면 이때도 멀티를 했다면 다른 평가를 내렸을 수도?

Dec 4, 2019Wow! This game Is officially my PC's killer app! The shooting is just PURE FUN !!!!!!! Downside: no controller support but who cares? It's a PC shooter!

Apr 17, 2020Вы ведь тоже не понимаете, о чем вообще эта игра? Все еще старый движок, убогая графика и дурацкий тир.

May 23, 2023The final part of MW, the plot is on top, a well-finished MW series. Nothing superfluous, all the characters showed themselves and this arch looked colorful throughout the whole plot.
-
Aug 6, 2020The gameplay is good, the graphic is OK and the story is a meh.it gets a 9 mtf
Awards & Rankings

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]

PC PowerPlayJan 9, 2012If you own any previous COD, there's little reason to buy MW3. [Jan 2012, p.50]
