Jun 12, 2012Worst piece of crap ever. I loved MW2 even with it's minor flaws. But my goodness, this game is and it's flaws becomes gamebreaking. HORRIBLE maps, worst lag to date, crappy spawns. Save your money and buy something else. This game is not worth it. Sadly I was pressured into buying it from friends and family.

Nov 10, 2011Cant believe I spent 60$ for a MW2 map pack. By far the worst game of the 2011 line up. I advise you to stay away from this game. Do yourself a favor and buy BF3, Skyrim or Uncharted 3. Those are games that developers actually took their time on unlike this rerun. Makes you think what did they really work on in the last 2 years because I see nothing new besides a new lame game mode.

Nov 10, 2011don't buy this game trust me and if u don't then u will pay 60$ for nothing just like i did.this game is garbage.there are better game available there go pick them and for mp battlefield 3 is the best game i ever played.cod 4 was amazing it changed fps genre but after that what they just did was just copy and paste the same game every year.activevision **** up everything u suckkkkk.
-
Nov 10, 2011This game would be a lot of fun for someone who's never played the series before, but if you've played MW2, it's simply not worth 60 dollars for a simple mappack/patch. Zero for low value and obvious greed on the publisher's part.

Nov 10, 2011Horrible. I'm tired of the same game. I feel like we just paid $60 for some DLC. Even the buildings look the same. Sold my copy on craigslist the next day. Battlefield 3 > MW3

Nov 9, 2011It's pathetic how they can churn out this game year after year, doing nothing but add some guns, textures and a new story.
I believe "trolls" are entirely justified calling it things like "Modern Warfare 1.3" or "Modern Warfare 2.5" - it is little more than a map pack and it bemuses me how every year people can go out and buy it for £40. -
Nov 10, 2011Absolutely awful. The graphics are horrible, the sound is even worse, the movement just looks ridiculous, and the game play feels boring and rushed. If you already have any other call of duty game, save your money. This is the same exact thing with the same exact graphics and game play.
-
Nov 11, 2011Same copy and paste! Activition could have released this as dlc! The gfx is horrid! Only 2 new modes in mp! Awful game for the price! They NEED A NEW ENGINE and need something new! Nothing improved here. Looking for inovation? Don't buy mw3

Nov 9, 2011Really? $60 for a 5 hour campaign and 2 new multi-player modes. Why isn't this $15 DLC? Thank god I can trade this game back in for full store credit, I don't even want it taking up space on my shelf.

Nov 10, 2011payed 60 dollars for a copy and paste game with a new addition to spec ops mode called "survival".... not worth the money. IGN gives it a 9 when it doesn't deserve a 5 score.
-
Nov 10, 2011Here we go again the same recycled game every year and yet it gets dream reviews like 9.0 or 9.5/10. This is just ridicilous. There aren't any new things who are worth counting. Even the buildings are recycled. Graphics are clearly outdated , gameplay is the same since years and yet kids buy this game for 60â

Nov 10, 2011Modern Warfare 3 is the exact same game with a different name, bad number.serie. Very big deception !! Call of duty Modern Warfare 2.1 not 2.5 ! Fifa MW3 annual..

Nov 20, 2011The same game with the same engine...
When is activision going to realise that they need to stop milking this cow...
This is the big downfall of COD for me. -
Nov 12, 2011Game had such high expectations. I atleast expected to enjoy it. Campaign is fun but forgettable. spec ops is fun but cheap. the Multiplayer is FAIL. **** maps. **** gameplay. gfx fail. sound design fail. just its a solid piece of **** well back to BF3 even though that game had a flakey campaign atleast the multiplayer of that one rocks.

Nov 10, 2011Worst Call of Duty to date. Same exact game if compared to Modern Warfare 2. This could have been DLC for MW2. It's really sad how a developer can call this a new game just to make money off people.
-
Nov 10, 2011I still cannot understand how people are actually dumb enough to buy the exact same game every year again. Even error messages of MW3 are talking about MW2, that's just a perfect example how much they changed. Graphics are dated, the story is a mess and gameplay hasn't changed or improved at all. Don't buy into the hype.

Nov 9, 2011I love the campaign , but the internet server for ps3 MW3 sucks you cant join a friends game without it saying it on private and it takes literally 25 minutes to find a match. THE SERVER SUCKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
-
Nov 10, 2011Disappointing end to the series.
Campaign is not worthy of the Modern Warfare series, Modern Warfare 2 and COD4 had much better campaigns.
Maybe next time, Activision. -
Nov 10, 2011I think I've played this before...Oh yes, I've played this 3 times before this. They keep putting the same game over and over again claiming that they've changed things. Since Modern Warfare, which was groundbreaking, they just released the same game and decided to charge $60 for it. I think Activision has beat another horse to death.

Nov 10, 2011Its the same game nothing new MW2=MW3
activiation stop thinking about money we went to see something diffrent from COD4 !!

Nov 10, 2011Just a complete joke. I can't believe this actually got released. It's just like a DLC patch for MW2... Battlefield 3 is way better. They actually made a good game.

Nov 16, 2011Blah Blah..... Map pack. Map pack. Map pack. Map pack. Map pack. Map pack. Map pack. Map pack. Map pack. Map pack. Map pack. Map pack. Map pack. Map pack. Map pack. Map pack. Did I mention map pack?
-
Nov 21, 2011this is just MW2.1... 5 hour campain, same multiplayer, this game should have been a $20 expansion.......................................................................generic and not worth it, wait until a price drop
-
Nov 11, 2011It's just one big over priced map pack. Overhyped! No quality. Just gimmicks by Activision to get our money! The developers are obviously trying to duplicate Modern Warfare 2 sales by giving us more of the same. Where is the innovation?

Nov 11, 2011Well, after you eventually get into a game after 10 errors!
More and more each year, the publisher start to care less about the hardcore gamer (who got them here in the first place) & more about $ signs. This is Modern Warfare 1.9, everything is the same as Modern Warfare 2 apart from weapons , which still kinda feel the same but just look different. The maps are new but worse in my opinion. -

Dec 6, 2011This was worth a $2.00 rent at redbox. I played the main story for about 2 hours and was already bored of it. I even tried multi player for less than an hour. These games are really starting to get tiring. I have no intention to buy this game. There is nothing fun about this game and if you look at the story and game play from an arm length away, it seems like a cheesy B-rated action flick.
-
Nov 21, 2011I'm just posting a 0 because it pisses off the folks at Infinity Ward and IGN. SO big fat ugly 0. COD needs to go away and let better games be in the light. F*** Call of Duty.
-
Nov 15, 2011Call of Duty Modern Warfare series need to go or they need to revamp the whole series again cause it its current condition it currently sucks! nothing innovative
-
Nov 20, 2011Looking at the critics score it is so simply obvious that craptivision bribed almost everyone of them. Don't support a game with ZERO innovation and the most out dated graphics for a modern game. Story is so cliche and predictable and PLEASE we are all sick of the Russians plot. Many glitches and clunky shooting with old maps 'copy and pasted' just destroys this game. DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED

Nov 10, 2011I can guess what are the next titles of COD... Black Ops 2, Then MW4, and just use this formula its pretty easy (name+number+1) on all titles that's the only difference on this COD games... Last Number... Same Engine, with some tweaks so it doesn't look pretty obvious is the same sh*t over and over...
-
Nov 10, 2011This was a great expansion, thanks infinity ward you're really creative. It's nice to see that you make billions every year, and you don't even put the tiniest bit of effort to make it a better game, or go above and beyond. Thanks for settling for the expected, really makes you a great games studio. But hell, what can you do when you have to publish this crap every year?

Nov 10, 2011New year, same Hogwash. I suggest buying a copy of MW2 for $5, you're essentially getting the same package here. Some recommended substitutes? Well you certainly can't go wrong with Gears of War 3...

Nov 10, 2011Modern warfare 3 es una copia exacta de MW2 y el sonido y las graficas no sirven. Batlefield 3 es mejor en todo. Me parece que MW3 fue creado a las millas para contrarestar la salida de Batlefield pero no lo lograron y ha sido toda una decepcion para los fanaticos.

Nov 11, 2011Adding my voice to the Zero crowd, I find it to be shameful to have zero innovation in such games, this is not a FIFA game you are not constrained. Also because what Activision Blizzard did to infinity ward was just nasty.
(p.s I own MW1 MW2 and rented BOps) -

Nov 11, 2011I pre-ordered both BF3 and MW3... And, i can not see differences between MW2 & MW3... THIS IS THE SAME **** GAME. The only new feature is the system to get screwed in the long term with cod elite...
-
Nov 11, 2011Absolutely disappointed in this game. It is nothing but a recycled game with the same stuff from mw2. Its amazing that activision continues to rob people of their money by creating the exact same crap and charging people 65 dollars. MW3 is basically mw2.5. It is so similar that it feels like your playing mw2. People continue to throw their money away because of the name call of duty.
-
Nov 11, 2011Activision can shove mw3 right up there you know what. You have so many fans who love call of duty and you make an identical game because you know it will sell millions of copies no matter what. Activisions Bobby Kotick is a greedy idiot who ruining the game industry. I will never buy another cod game since there are game developers out there that deserve better like Naughty Dog.

Nov 11, 2011"Hello Modern Warfare 2.5... Feeling like someone re-boxed an old mission pack addon for MW2 somewhat. Other than some slightly polished graphical updates, it's all same 'ol, same 'ol so far... disappointed with the whole game. " Right

Nov 11, 2011Nothing new. As every year we get the same game, just that for more and more money. In addition, the company wants to pull out money for an application, which should be free.

Nov 11, 2011I don't understand how this game was in development for two years when it's the same as mw2. This is sad that this game has not changed. I'm happy i got this from gamefly instead of buying it.
-
Nov 11, 2011Horrendous! 5 hours to complete the single player and nothing new from MW or MW2. Multiplayer is also a total copy paste from the previous versions. Exactly the same just new maps. V Disappointed. Not sure how IGN or Gamespot can give this btw 9 and 10!!
-
Nov 11, 2011Modern Warfare 3 is little more than another $59.99 map pack for Call of Duty 4. It's really time that Activision did more than just employing 2 game developers to move building around on maps, change some textures and some minor tweaking of features and then calling it a new game. So lame.

Nov 11, 2011Bad bad and bad, MW3 is a big bad DLC from MW2, the maps are bad, the soundtrack of weapons are really bad, i am sad ... the Call of Duty franchise is dead ... :(

Feb 10, 2012There's a tangible insistence from gamers that this series needs to evolve, but it seems unwarranted when it still leads the FPS class. The engine's definitely in need of an overhaul, but when it comes to thumping set-pieces and addictive multiplayer design, Modern Warfare 3 is still in a league of its own.
-
Feb 1, 2012By sticking to the series' strengths, Modern Warfare 3 delivers some of the best competitive, cooperate, and single-player shooting in the business.
