    One of the last great CoD games (in my opinion). Definitely a fun game and true to the MW games they produced, just a few more bells and whistles. I hope CoD gets back to this type of game soon.

    This game is excellent.It may not have a good story but the gameplay is great.The action set-pieces make adrenaline rush inside of you. And those that give the game a 0 or a 3 are Battlefield fans to make others buy battlefield

    Not sure why this game takes so much flak from users on here, it's definitely a great closer to the biggest gun series of the decade. Sure, there's not a whole lot different from MW2 but why mess with a winning formula? I'll say this though, this is either as good as MW2 if not even a hair better. If I could I would give it an 8.5 I would do so The graphics are very well done and areNot sure why this game takes so much flak from users on here, it's definitely a great closer to the biggest gun series of the decade.

If I could I would give it an 8.5 I would do so The graphics are very well done and are easily the best in the series plus the additional game modes Special Ops gives it a ton of replay value, not too mention the fun multiplayer modes as well. Furthermore the MW games literally kill the crappy Black Ops series (one to be avoided!!). Overall I thought this game was a blast, the storyline doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense but they never do in COD games anyways. The best COD out there!… Expand

    gran cierre de trilogía, ninguna misión brilla especialmente, pero todas son muy buenas y más largas de lo que nos tenía acostumbrada la saga
    a parte de enlazar perfectamente la historia de los 2 primeros, continúa con las misiones cooperativas, y además añade un modo supervivencia genial
    el multijugador está retocado y ya no es tan centrado en las rachas y ventajas como su predecesor

    8.6 - Really good COD, multiplayer maps were well designed and creative, especially the DLC maps. Survival mode was fun and kinda cheap, and campaign was pretty standard. Weapons on multiplayer were more balanced but still had issues, but not to a point where it really affected experience.

    This game was a decent follow up to the critically acclaimed MW2. The game feels a bit underwhelming compared to its predecessor however is a great entry to the franchise regardless. This would be Sledgehammers first go at the COD series and I feel they did the fans a good service, The introduction to the survival mode was a cool touch, and I must say, the DLC for this game is very good.This game was a decent follow up to the critically acclaimed MW2.

    The worst game in the Modern Warfare series, but definitely not a bad one. The biggest problem that I have with it is that it changes Makarov a lot. In the first 2 games, Makarov looked like a guy who only cared of himself. But in this game, he becomes a ''слава Россия“ kinda guy. Other than that, pretty solid game with a great plot twist and a bloody sweet ending (should have endedThe worst game in the Modern Warfare series, but definitely not a bad one.

    I’d recommend you don’t listen to those BF fanboys that rated this a 0/1, saying “this is some $60 ****/copy of mw2”,to then call BF3 “activision, take notes this is a *real* FPS for the ps3 it’s a game of skill because mw3 is for babies and noobs, better graphics, better multiplayer and better game overall”.

    The game is actually fun, if you were wondering by the, thanks to the BF fans, 3.(1-5) user score on each port.

    Wrapping up the trilogy in a very action-packed campaign, with levels like Turbulence, Stronghold, and Dust to Dust, bit short for some, but a good campaign.

    Spec Ops was brought back with Survival mode, it’s Zombies, but in each Multiplayer map with difficulties, stations for guns, armor, explosives, and air support, with enemies for each round, depending on the map’s difficulty.

    Haven’t tried Multiplayer yet, because errors every time I try, might be because servers are shut down or something, and I didn’t have the Elite subscription. Looks/Looked fun, though.

    Even if it is an overpriced MW2 expansion pack, bringing a few minor tweaks, guns, and features, it doesn’t need to be something completely different. Sure, all CoD games have something different, something new, but really, I don’t care, just as long it’s actually good and fun to play with.

    By the way, the people who loved all other CoD games right before this one will say that they played it and it was a joke/map pack, and they’re not BF fanboys, but, if it’s an extension pack for MW2, then it’s just as good, isn’t that what they’re saying? They’ll #2 CoD MW2 on any CoD tier list, yet put CoD MW3 on the near-bottom, with “it’s just CoD MW2, but with a few new things, new campaign, and no nuke”, then it’s just as good.

    9/10.    … Expand

    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.
