    I'll stick with CoD4 for a while more. It is the best game out there, and it has both MW2 and BOps maps as mods.

    MW3, no dedicated servers, worse sound and graphics. It looks like a game from 5 years ago.

    Worst 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.

    payed 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.

    Disappointing 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.

    Cant 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.

The developers for these games actually put effort and time, unlike activision, IW, and Treyarch, where they just reuse and recycle the same crap every year. Expand

    The game is buggy, and boring. And paying greater than full game price for a map-pack of MW1 is a scam. I feel scammed for buying it. The graphics were good.... if this was 2003. The sounds were sub-par, the game play is the same, with no variaton...... It's basically COD Modern mappack 3.

    It's very sad, that people give a developer credit for lazy work. Half of the sounds, equipment, perks, guns, and only one new attachment are in the game. 80% of the killstreaks are the same. And you always the get the felling "I have done this before". Survival is sorry attempted at zombies and fails flat. The same COD formula is use.

    that the same I think, is a MW 2.5

    Another MW game, and this time, they didn't bother to hide the fact that they were reusing textures and building from the fourth installment, or that they hardly changed anything about the overall gameplay. In fact, they seemed to have taken a step back from their newer game, Black Ops, opting for a tired out MW2 system. Brainless fun, a junk food of a game. Save your 60$.

    Call of Duty has repeated the same tired formula year after year. Modern Warfare 3 does nothing to break this time-honored tradition that now feels so exasperated and overdone that I find it hard to believe that people still care about this game. Modern Warfare 3 strikes me as a glorified map pack that in no way justifies a $60 price tag.

    Call of Duty has repeated the same tired formula year after year. Modern Warfare 3 does nothing to break this time-honored tradition that now feels so exasperated and overdone that I find it hard to believe that people still care about this game. Modern Warfare 3 strikes me as a glorified map pack that in no way justifies a $60 price tag.

    The announcement of 20 (yes, twenty) DLC's throughout the next year obviously signals an attempt by Activision to force their overpriced "Call of Duty: Elite" service on its user base, which costs another $50 per year. I see nothing in the Elite service that strikes me as revolutionary, nor could I ever justify paying $50 per year (or even $10 per year) on such an inane service. It tracks your stats and shows you overheads of maps. Back in the golden era of PC gaming, we got those types of services (as well as updates, new maps and weapons, and other major releases) for free. Now greedy companies like Activision want us to pay a continual fee for such services. It really displays the lack of dignity and respect game developers and publishers have for their customer base these days.

    So to summarize:
    Activision would have us buy a $60 game which brings literally zero innovation to the table and offers little more than a re-skin of its prequel. Then Activision expects us to pay $50 per year so that we can track our stats online (you read that correctly, people). Then they announce 20 DLC updates within the next year, basically admitting that they sold us an incomplete game (but don't worry, for the small price of $50 per year, you can make your Call of Dutyâ

I already own MW2, got Black Ops and was expecting something more from MW3 I guess. What I got was MW2 with BLOPs Zombie mode minus the zombies. All the maps are so vertical and have the same dirty look. There are so many corners that now getting caught in a good firefight is a thing of the past. None of these maps are memorable and can't even come close to classics such as Cliffside, Eder Dam, Terminal, Crash and Backlot.

    They've used the same in game icons, no new death animations, same killcam and just basically the same audio only boosted with advanced clarity and maybe more treble and bass because the guns do sound a tad more realistic.

    The campaign itself was just a Michael Bay movie. So many explosions and action but most of it for no good reason except for it to break silence. So, MW3 has it's good points and that is familiarity, it basically is a CoD game. But, it's a CoD game I already own. This game could has easily been a DLC map pack for MW2 and because of that fact and the fact I paid full game price, I have to give it a low score.

    Please Activision, wake up and stop recycling your ideas. We're bored of it and we don't appreciate paying that much for poor quality, especially with money problems in this day and age.

    Mw3 is basically a map pack, all in all it uses an outdated engine, with very minor tweaks to make it seam that there is a difference between it and that of MW2, but as matter of fact, there really isn't much of a difference, the multiplayer is the same as any other COD title, shares the same formula of: 1- Kill, 2- get kill streak, 3- use killstreak to kill more people, 4- repeat.

I would say this is one of the worse of the serious. Short campaign. Kills streak system is worse than before. Allowing you to reset the kill streaks after you reach them all three. Kills with kill streaks counts towards your next kill streak. So basically you don't have to die to regain them. Other words this game isn't challenging anymore and doesn't offer anything fresh. Is true the engine might be re touch a little, but you can't really tell. This game fails at bringing something new on the table. Critics might say is worth it but from a player stand point is one to let go. At least treyarch did great at releasing something fresh and new last year.

    I would urge even the most die hard COD fans to consider what message they are sending to game devlopers if the give MW3 a high score.

    The gaming industry is more and more ripping of consumers by simply re-skinning games instead of making new ones. When will devlopers actually develop new engines? Do we have to wait till the next generation of consoles? How much work went into the

    How much work went into the making of MW3, in comparison to say COD4? MW3 uses the same map objects (such as the busses, the tanks) as seen in COD4. These objects exist in Activision library - map creation for them is simply a drag-and-drop. It's not creation.

    The graphics, the gameplay, the engine... everything is the same. How much of MW3 is actually different or original? 20% perhaps?

    I'm asking everyone on metacritic, for the sake of future game development, to score this game low & send a message to the gaming industy, LOUD & CLEAR that we WILL NOT ACCEPT re-hashed, re-skin products.

    If you want to reap the profits, but in the work. Develop game play, develop the engine, improve the graphics... don't patronise your own customers by changing the maps and retailing the game at premium price.

    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]
