    This game is MUCH better then anyone on here is saying. its a FPS so what do you expect. if your playing on PS3 or Xbox or playing a game that is built for a system and ported to PC you cant expect graphics to be that much better. yes, the graphics could be better then they are but not a whole lot. these systems(PS3,Xbox) are pretty much maxed out on what they can do. the systems areThis game is MUCH better then anyone on here is saying. its a FPS so what do you expect. if your playing on PS3 or Xbox or playing a game that is built for a system and ported to PC you cant expect graphics to be that much better. yes, the graphics could be better then they are but not a whole lot. these systems(PS3,Xbox) are pretty much maxed out on what they can do. the systems are outdated and need to be replaced so people need to remember that. people need to remember that this is a "reality" based FPS. you cant change that a whole lot and with the success of MW2 why would you want to change it a whole lot. why changes formula that makes a TON of money? yes, i admit this game was way over hyped but so is most games. when i buy a game i don't base it off of hype. If you buy a game because of hype you shouldn't be playing games. plus, my feeling is that most people that sit down to write a review is to bash it. from the looks of it hundreds of thousands of people enjoy the game judging by how many people were online last night. as for the campaign, if you buy a multi-player FPS for the campaign im sorry. by now you must know that these developers are more focused on the online play cause that's were the money is.… Expand

    Masterpiece. So it's an expensive map-pack? Correct. However you won't find more people online playing a game with a more solid foundation and set of mechanics. Shame? Yes. Could they have done more? Yes x2. Is it still going to keep you hooked for months? Yes x3.

    The game is excellent, a campaign frantic and addictive multiplayer even to say who enjoyed the previous series, they will surely enjoy MW3. The only thing that sin is the graphics, they could have built a new engine for the game, just will not earn top marks for this reason but the game itself will remain a reference for the quality that the game offers.

    A 2.3 average rating is a joke. This is much of the same with better balanced gameplay. Cod is renowned for its smooth solid gameplay and mw3 is no different. They have weighed up graphics and frames per second and have got this spot on. If it's not broken, don't fix it! Great addition to the cod franchise!!!

    Reviewed it for 360 but I have it for both systems so I'm just spreading the love to the ps3 version. I was on ign and it is true about the suspiciously low user rating. Don't be discouraged by haters this games awesome. If you loved the rest you'll love this one. Answer the Call!!!! Ignore the b**ching.

    Yes, this game feels like MW2 with a few tweaks. Yes, the graphics are dated - but you would never know it on the 360, battlefield actually looks much worse than MW3 on consoles (btw, I love BF3 too! :D ). Yes, this is the 'madden' of FPS's. But, let me give an example for my arguement: Counter-Strike is still one of the biggest FPS's in the world - after being out for over ten yearsYes, this game feels like MW2 with a few tweaks.

But, let me give an example for my arguement: Counter-Strike is still one of the biggest FPS's in the world - after being out for over ten years and never changing the formula. People like the way it feels and they wouldn't want it to change very much, if at all. Modern Warfare is the console version of that formula. It works, not because people are 'mindless drones', but because they love the gameplay and want a fresh look on the formula. New maps, graphical tweaks, and great gameplay could keep this game going for years.

    I could understand that some people are tired of call of duty, that's fine. I never really got into the other games too much - just played them on and off - but I'm having a blast with this game. Gameplay wise, this is by far the best 'feeling' game of the series, the controls just feel right. As for the maps, they are the best ones yet. If you are the type that likes to lay low in a building somewhere in a corner and camp... you might hate these maps. The maps are small and made for fast action. They all have a great 'flow' to them, many different routes to take, and many ways to either put yourself in good position to flank enemies or get out of a bad situation. There's also tons of cover, there's debris/objects everywhere, so there's many different ways to 'play' the areas of a map.

    All in all, an amazing iteration of COD, the best one yet. As you can see from the other reviews on this website, the hatred toward the call of duty franchise is unmatched - as of this writing, there are 863 'negative' reviews with only 215 'positive'... But, there are nearly two million people, just on Xbox Live, playing MW3 online at this very moment.

I got what I expected and am enjoying the new maps, new killstreak system and the continuation of the story in single player. Not sure why people are giving this game a 0. Were you expecting Zelda or something? I am giving this a 10 to counter all the unjustified hate I am reading below.

With its own incredible ranking system it seems that no matter what i do, im always upgrading and it feels great. Spec ops is still hard and still more of the same just with different missions. Multiplayer really refreshes from the previous installments and it really is good. I love how every class has its own killstreaks and also the gun are very balanced.

I was also impressed with some of the new weapon customizations, which werent as elaborate in some areas as Black Ops, but still great. The new multiplayer game modes are a welcomed addition to say the least. I did find that there were some "glitches" with certain things , such as the knifing, but its still overall extremely fluid. The story mode was fun to play through and quite interesting to see it all come together from the beginning to now . My only gripe is that the story mode was extremely short, between 3.5 to 4 hours depending on how you play. But lets face it, who buys a Call of Duty game anymore for the story ? Everything now is multiplayer, which is why I was so pleased with the story that they did do. Even on a primarily multiplayer game , they still took the time and energy to put together a great story, which I appreciate. So far the maps on multiplayer are decent, but nothing to thrill about. I definately look forward to the map packs to see what else they add to it all. Overall I love the game, with only a few shortcomings its definately another great leap forward in the COD progression.… Expand

But where MW3 lacks in realism it massively advances in fun, you can end up playing hours on end when your battling with your friends and the controls are easy to pick up but multiplayer may take a bit of practice before you start to hit the high killstreaks.

With all the new customizations, new maps, and new killstreak rewards attainable by all types of players, this game is great and I'd totally suggest it to anyone who likes FPS games.… Expand

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is a type of game whether you hate it or love it. The game isn't all that perfect but its great. The multiplayer for MW3 is really fun, because they add more modes to play and leveling system is more better. What really takes the cake is the NEW Spec Ops survival mode; its fun and addicting .

    Like many people I was worried about how MW3 would fare given that Infinity Ward practically remains itself in name only now and because they brought in Sledgehammer, a company I have never heard of, to help finish it up in time. In fact, I hadn't even planned on getting the game until I bought Battlefield 3 and was so horribly disappointed that I had to see if I could get my shooter fixLike many people I was worried about how MW3 would fare given that Infinity Ward practically remains itself in name only now and because they brought in Sledgehammer, a company I have never heard of, to help finish it up in time. In fact, I hadn't even planned on getting the game until I bought Battlefield 3 and was so horribly disappointed that I had to see if I could get my shooter fix from MW3.
    Before I begin I should state that I play CoD for the multiplayer. The only CoD campaign I finished was that of the first MW, so my review is based on that aspect, not the campaign (though I have played a bit of the campaign and it looks like I might finish another one.) At the outset I was disappointed in MW3. The maps seemed convoluted and poorly designed, with no open areas and nothing but corridors. Even using the theatre mode to fly through the maps didn't give me the "oh I get it now" feeling that I got from doing that in Black Ops. I instantly chalked it up to a bunch of noob game designers aping Infinity Ward and failing miserably to catch the feel of their level designs and I was crestfallen. How could both shooters have been such disappointments? Nevertheless, I stuck with it and before long, something clicked. I can't tell you what it was, but suddenly maps started making sense, it felt very much like CoD, and I started bagging more kills than I ever have in CoD matches. (I really do suck at these games.) The addition of Kill Confirmed is fantastic. I've never played a shooter that did so well at forcing team members to act like they were a team (and by the way, why aren't more of you playing this mode??? There is something wrong with you.) On top of that having three options for killstreak rewards is EXACTLY what I've been wanting since I started playing these games. Finally, people who have lives outside of CoD can actually earn a killstreak reward. Now that I've learned some of the maps and I'm building classes that I enjoy this game feels very much like a proper successor to the first two MW's; the new IW and Sledgehammer did very well. There are some issues (at least with the PS3) that need to be worked out, such as the occasional game breaking lag, and connection issues during matchmaking. But these are all things that can be patched at a later date. Overall, this is a good game and, though I never thought I would be saying this, it is the clear winner in the MW3/Battlefield 3 match up. If you're on the fence, buy it. I suspect most of these poor reviews are just Battlefield trolls. There is just simply no way that every professional reviewer is wrong. The real MW fans are playing MW3, not writing bad reviews online.    … Expand

Buildings collapse when you hit them with a missile from the chopper,This is the purest form of Modern Warfare. The one we've been waiting for. Here's why. First off it's smooth. Super smooth, a 60 frames per second makes this game look crystal clear. A little sharper graphics, that are tough to spot at first, but once you see the first car explode you will know exactly what I mean. Buildings collapse when you hit them with a missile from the chopper, balconies collapse when you man the mini-gun. The water looks real, trees and grass blow as a storm approaches, and I actually stopped more than once to look around at the sky and the sunset. It was that beautiful. Bigger scale. MW was about a few guys in Russia, MW2 was about defending the eastern states in the U.S. MW3 is about the entire world under attack. And you feel it. Cool set pieces for firefights that are multi-level transitional. Not just where you've got guys on the second story (and stay there) and guys down low (and stay there) you've got people running up and down stairs using the environment. One time i saw an enemy running towards me, and I was thinking "what an idiot this dude's gonna get shot in the face, stupid A.I.," only to see him actually running up to a car, he opens the car door, and hides behind it! I was blown away. A beef i had with Black Ops was that sometimes it felt like a shooting gallery. You would walk forward it would "trigger" the enemy spawn, they line up in a row, and you kill 'em, and move on. But here i felt like there are people everywhere and all the time! And there's always this rushed feeling of progression, where if you try to camp and kill everybody someone yells, "C'mon we gotta keep moving!" So you didn't feel like you had to kill everyone, but that the mission was more important. A major improvement is the feel and sounds of the guns. They feel great, and I can't tell if it's extra vibration in the controller or what, but it's different. It's crisp. I love breach scenes. i swear I'd buy a game where all you do it breach every room. Now before you declare me a CoD fanboy, remember, this is all just the campaign I've been talking about! I haven't even touched the multiplayer or the special ops missions/survival. Those are what will ensure that you will never need to ditch the game just because the campaign is over. This game is loaded and if you can put aside the "it's cool to hate on modern warfare" fad that seems to be all the rage, you'll be blown away at this masterpiece. I love Modern Warfare 3 and I don't care who knows it. P.S. Airplane level FTW!… Expand

Throw in the new elite service, which when its up and running (eventually) will be a spot on service wether or not you subscribe or use it as a free service. ill give MW3 a 9.5 out of 10 which i round off to 10. its exceptional and should not be missed.… Expand

    (PS3 Version)
    The game has everything I wanted it to; an awesome multiplayer experience, a co-op mode that has been improved in many ways from MW2, and a campaign mode full of the nonstop action set pieces we've come to expect from the series. Perhaps the best part is that all of this plays out at a smooth 60fps with crisp graphics- something I found lacking in the PS3 version of BF3.    (PS3 Version)

Perhaps the best part is that all of this plays out at a smooth 60fps with crisp graphics- something I found lacking in the PS3 version of BF3.

    Multiplayer has been tweaked since the last game and is just as good as ever. It is not a complete reinvention of the series, but to be honest that isn't at all necessary when it plays this well. The perk system will have its fans and detractors; personally I like it however sometimes I do wonder if it rewards people that have invested time into the game slightly too much over someone who has just started playing. This is due to everything leveling up over time including weapons, weapon modifiers, perks, equipment ect. On the flip side it keeps you playing and it is not a requirement to prestiege once everything has been unlocked.

    Spec Ops is back once again and the new wave mode in the form of Spec ops survival, alongside missions that can be played both Co-Op and solo make this an awesome part of the game. I found that some of the missions were changed when I played them solo which was good as there are now leader-boards that allow you to track just how well you are doing vs the rest of the world.

    Campaign won't give any real surprises gameplay-wise if you have played a previous entry in the series, however as with the multiplayer mode why fix it if it ain't broke! The levels are quite engaging and I felt the characters had a little more to them this time around when compared with MW2. The inclusion of a few new weapons and some cool set pieces meant that I was happy to play through this to the end.

    Overall an amazing game that is easily worth your money!

    After buying BF3 a week ago I can see how the games are both very different, however I can't see why there is a need for BF3 fans to rant about how MW3 is a bad game. Both have areas where they excel over the other however in my personal opinion MW3's 60fps smooth gameplay, better visuals, inclusion of split screen co-op and online multiplayer, and survival mode are just some of the reasons I prefer it over BF3. I find the lack of vehicles to be a good thing and as someone that is not part of a large clan, the team based structure of BF3 can sometimes get annoying when I am matched with a bunch of Noobs against a clan of Vets. To everyone that has given this game a rating of 0..grow up, you may not like it but to deserve a 0 a game would have to be literally unplayable! rating a game out of 10 does not mean "Give 10 for good or 0 for not good"! In reality I would give this a 10 and BF3 an 8 (On PS3 as I believe BF3 performs slightly better on PC and could get more).    … Expand

The game has an amazing campaign that literally takes you days to beat! Its fun, and you get really immersed into the amazing story line. Nothing in Modern Warfare 3 was re-used in other games. Everything is brand new and fresh at that! There are no recycled gun sounds, building props, or character models. Everything is new and ready to go! The multiplayer itself is not confusing what so ever, but requires great skill to play. Its not like you can just one day pick up a controller and be awesome at the game right?..... RIGHT? Oh and the spawn system is definately something to behold. The spawns NEVER shift so you are always out of way from your enemy and therefor are not spawn killed on the instant you appear back into the map. Overall, this game is the best I have ever seen and I would rate it 10/10 anyday! Totally worth 60 bucks. Hell I would have even paid 200 for this bad boy.… Expand

This has a ****ing brand new campaign, new maps, new game types, ****ING SPECIAL OPS, its going to have DLC every month (ELITE i got it), new maps, and top it all off the game play is SMOOTH AS WATER. It runs at 60 fps, and is fun to play. This game is well worth your money. The campaign is great, if you have kept up with the past games. The only thing i have a problem with is the Mic system.

    Don't be stupid and listen to the bf3 fan boys. If you enjoyed Black Ops or MW2 you will certainly enjoy MW3. Spec Ops is fun and multilayer is still extremely addictive. Single player is fun but don't expect an amazing experience.

    I understand why people note so badly, they want new grafics and a revolution of CoD series. But for me I think that if CoD changes to much, it will not be CoD anymore, you see what I mean . However this is a good game, we have the end of Price history and a pretty good experience in survival mode and Multiplayer with those new strike packages .
    But please next time make a better graphic engine.

It's true, they didn't make a lot of changes to this game from the last installment of MW3, and on reading that, I was disappointed. I liked the conflict of COD vs BF and wanted them to both make great improvements as a result. I also am disappointed at the way things transpired with the original makers of COD, it's a bad break. That being said, I picked up my copy of COD and popped it in ready to be disappointed with the same old game being done again. But it took me playing the game to realize...it doesn't matter. This game has been a favorite for a reason, its fun to play, the campaign (though not as good as the original) holds up equally as well as the previous 2 MW's and everything from spec ops to multiplayer are still just as great. SOOO much better than Black ops was, and I'm glad I spent the money. I can't help but think the negative reviews have to be a combination of BF fanboys and people upset (and rightfully so) about what the firing of the orig creators. That said, if you're on the fence about purchasing this game, pull the trigger (pun intended), if you loved the first two MW's, your going to love this one too. Stop bashing this game and making stupid excuses to do so...the graphics may not be as good as Battlefields, but in my opinion (and thats what all of these are, feel free to form your own) this game is more fun. Love them both, still a bigger COD fan. And for those that think I'm a COD fanboy, I'm a grown man and not the type to feel some sort of brand loyalty and force it down your throat. I just am upset I almost missed out on a great game because some people want to see this game fail for whatever reason. In closing...I agree I'd like to see them improve on this game and add more to it, but whats missing doesn't warrant it getting a 0 or a 5. I'd say this game is a solid 8 or 9, but I'm forced to give it a 10 to outweigh the negative response.… Expand

I also like this games arcadish style which makes it fun to play. BF3's simulation style was interesting at first, but then the restrictions of realism made the game boring. The single player is alright, the spec ops are a bit dull, the survival is awesome, the multiplayer makes bf3 look like garbage.

So many claim that the game is "exactly the same as MW2" and "feels more like an expansion pack." Really? They completely changed the perk system, so now it feels more balanced than ever. Unlike in MW2, the guns all have some kick and sway which actually makes the game challenging. Kill streaks have now been replaced by the brilliant point streak system which rewards all styles of play. The specialist and support strike packages are also fun new additions which can change the way you play the game entirely. Weapon XP and proficiency are also a cool addition which adds a new dynamic to the game similar to the way cod points did in Black Ops... so again, really?? If this is "just an expansion pack" then I think it's an amazing one. I will say though that I do have some issues with the maps; there are too many buildings and they really do feel maze-like, and sometimes the lag is a little ridiculous. All-in-all I think this is the best cod yet and I am very satisfied with my purchase. Oh and I was obviously only talking about the multiplayer, if you bought this game for the campaign... lol… Expand

I own both Battlefield 3 and CoD: MW3 and I like them both. The graphics are impressive on BF3 but graphics isn't all aye? CoD still have better feeling, you can actually see and feel the 60 fps (frames per second for you turd-faces out there) So my final answer is that this game is really, really, really good.

    Call of duty modern warfare 3 is the best first person shooter I have ever played.... Bar none. He maps are super realistic and the killstreaks are much improved.

If you love Call of Duty you'll enjoy Modern Warfare 3. The Infinity Ward engine hasn't updated much since CoD 4 but what most don't understand the 60 fps essentially separates the engine from most FPS on a console. The campaign as always is extremely linear not giving the player much freedom to roam and discover. Survival is fun with a friend but what surprises me is the lack of 4 player co-op. Major let down from Sledgehammer and IW. Multiplayer is addicting as the previous titles. I myself found many similarities from MW2 in MW3. Call it MW2.5 or over priced down loadable content it is the Modern Warfare 2 we've always wanted it to be. Balanced! Not much has changed but it's a definite improvement. In some aspects it lacks creativity. The multiplayer maps are claustrophobic and out of the 16 maps shipped with the game you seem to only cycle through seven of the same maps. These development studios aren't to blame for a game that feels literally rushed and unfinished. Activision sole purpose is to deliver a new CoD title every holiday season/every year. Gamers knew exactly what they were getting themselves into when they purchased this game. If you expected anything more than what it is your decision purchasing the game and being disappointed is your fault. Do some research before purchasing a title or at least rent the game, so on and so on. What frustrates me is I know so many people that made it clear to me that this is one of the worst games ever made and how they feel robbed but continue to play the game as if they somewhat enjoyed it? I'm left confused by the community or their intensions to totally destroy a video game in the first place. Overall the game is fun but it dosen't reinvent the genre or improve much to take it to the next level. The game deserves a 8.5. Anything less is a representation of a immature community. If you want to play Skyrim well then go play it without insulting a franchise that is in a completely different genre.… Expand

It is a sequel to the 2 previous Modern warfares... there is not going to be a drastic change between them. Sequels usually don't fall far from previous titles.. that is the point of them. Now further into the multiplayer... the game in every aspect is different. The new gun customization system and choices give us SO many choices and play styles. They also fixed a lot of the problems in mw2 and haven't gotten credit for it. For example, Noobtubes, Commando, One-Man-Army. Not to mention that the connectivity by far is the best connection i have had on any CoD. Although their recent update caused some lag from the game itself, that can be fixed since an update of theirs caused it. Lets also take into account that game was just released. Also, there is no need to complain about the "feel" of modern warfare. I thought that the reason everyone loved and preferred the series was because they enjoyed the fast pace feel of it. Lastly, the graphics aren't much of an improvement... but there is a difference between mw2 and mw3. Lets be honest, it is not like you have been playing mw2 this whole time...just compare them to the previous CoD's graphics because that is what was made and played last. This game is amazing, by far the best CoD to date. Its a shame that it is not even being given a chance. Stay above the influence! Don't miss out on an amazing gaming experience. :)… Expand

The game has only been out for a fews weeks so most of you haven't even leveled all of the way up to experience every weapon and no one has had the time to test everything out and find that perfect combination of everything. The game could have been better but I am glad that it wasn't worse. They could have ruined the game by deviating too much from what made the first two games great. So quit complaining. Most of you couldn't have designed a better game and I'm sure most of you are the people I keep having to carry because you go 4 and 15 every match.

Yes that right they dont change a lot of thing but is not the same game as mw2 and cod4 everyone only says that because don't change the HUD but men is COD and you don't expect to change all the game everytime that a new cod became COD mw3 is a great gamefor most off people that are talking here I know that everyone buy mw3 the first day and they were waiting for this game long time a go.

Cod change some things in his new games but without changing all the game because isq COD and that make this game that everyone buy at least 1 time and all this gays that are talking **** from COD mw3 ,mw2, bo or whatever. I know that all of you are BF gamers right now and maybe they don't play good and thats why they are soo angry with this game or simply you only want another game and if I am talking **** (this is for BF fans) BF starts in 2002 and COD in 2003 why didn't you buy BF first of all? and play only BF versions? why did you buy COD first than BF? because COD still is a great game and all that BF fans were o still COD bad players. I play both games and COD is more exciting, BF is good his graphics are very cool but graphics don´t make a game. Oh and something else why do you spect HUGE changes in a game that have a new version every year clearly if a game has a new version every 3 or 4 years we must expect big changes but if a game has a new version every single year we realize that they are changing this little by little without ruining the game that all I have to say to the BF fans… Expand

    Plainly put its another call of duty, ripped on for being the same as mw2, but thats kinda the point, people like modern warfare 2. In conclusion if you want something different stop complaining about COD and don't buy it. play battlefield or some other trash.

    MW3 is actually a very good game contrary to most of these reviews. I was very disappointed when I saw the 2.8 player review.... This game deserves a much higher review. There are some guns taken from MW2 but really, they can't change everything, if they were to do that it would be a futuristic Call of Duty. Also I prefer to have some of the old guns and killstreaks on it. The graphics areMW3 is actually a very good game contrary to most of these reviews.

Also I prefer to have some of the old guns and killstreaks on it. The graphics are better, the landscape and battlefield layouts are much bigger and better, the guns are different in multiple factors and the choice of killstreaks are far from the same as MW2. Although with a great game comes a few disappointments.... For one the PC version is still filled with obvious hackers, and the survival mode is only for two players. If you can, pick up this game, you won't regret it.… Expand

    Game is good. 2.8 is bull crap. I'm giving it a 10 because it is way better than black ops and it's just like mw2 but slightly better in every way.

    It is still a great game, although many complain that there is no news,

    How do people not like this game?!! It's great! There is a definite reason as to why it will soon be announced as the biggest selling game of all time, because it's the best game of all time!

    I found mw3 to look a lot like mw2 in terms of graphic's and gameplay. But that's where it ended the campaign was more interactive than previous cod installment and was a great ending tieing up all the the past games story very well . With the addition of survival mode was a plus for me have enjoyed black ops zombie mode.

    Mw3 is Amazing. it is the perfect blend of Mw2 and Cod4. Infinity ward trumps Treyarch, and this game is damn near perfect. A must have for FPS fans.

    There'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.

    By sticking to the series' strengths, Modern Warfare 3 delivers some of the best competitive, cooperate, and single-player shooting in the business.

    As a complete package, Modern Warfare 3 takes the cake. [Jan 2012, p.67]
