    WHAT THE F**K IS WRONG WITH YOU. IT IS CALL OF DUTY. READ THE F**KING BOX, YA DUMB ****

    This game is great. Play with all friends n all. Who plays battlefield? If you have no friends, go ahead and play battlefield.

    I gave it a 9 because of some kind of communication issues with the bluetooth headsets. While in a game, talking with friends sometimes crackles a lot or just hard to communicate in general. When in the party chat room, seems to be fine. Something an easy update can fix.

    ps/ So you stop playing C.O.D. after writing these BS reviews, right? Bahahaha    … Expand

    played this game at my buddies, and it sucked! same ol same ol, pretty boring, hes already thinking about returning it, "This game came out two years ago, It's called Modern Warfare 2. I pity the fool who buys Modern Warfare 3. You'd have more fun spending your $60 on a toothless hooker." - - sums it up

    Le site devrait supprimé les avis négatif des joueurs car c'est nul de mettre un 1 à cet excellent titre, je lui mets un 9/10 car le moteur 3d se fait vieillissant et dice eux ont pris la peine d'innover sur ce point

    The people giving this poor reviews are obviously haters, BF3 boosters, or both. Look, I've played these since the original run and as far as the single player goes, the mechanics haven't changed much (hit the 'trigger' opponent, move to next fight scene, ad nauseum; the AI could be improved also with it still reacting stupidly between friend and foe when they encounter one another) whichThe people giving this poor reviews are obviously haters, BF3 boosters, or both.

The single player story however, looks great and is still interesting enough to make you want to play it.
    But who's buying these simply for the campaign alone anyway? The multiplayer is the best out there, period. The framerate makes the game unmatched, yes even those who have supposedly introduced bigger and better engines (played 'the other guy' and didn't see what was so fabulous), along with the great upgrade system whereby you can truly make your playstyle your own. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' setup, but the one which works for you. The devs had said prior to release they're aiming at making it a gunbattle multiplayer moreso this time around and took out the complete dominance of airpower, and they did. The options are near limitless, and a lot of fun to explore. Then, the brilliant idea to keep the hook in: Elite. The fact that they're going to release one map per month is very smart, as what usually kills a game off is the lack of maps; I know it certainly is for me. Definite thumbs up there.

    So that is two games in one, but we're still forgetting a third: Spec Ops. These are a lot of fun also and they've improved far beyond what MW2 offered, as you now level up separately in Spec Ops with the bonuses from the missions contributing to the Survival mode. Very cool idea. Again, they've beaten the pants off it's braggart competitor, BF3 in this regard. I played and beat all of the missions in BF3 with little effort in a few hours. To make matters worse, if you want to unlock all the in game bonuses, you're forced to play through the BF spec ops missions again and again and again...ugh.

    The winner of that battle is clear cut, I believe. But this review isn't one game vs another (as they're two differing games that shouldn't be compared to begin with honestly, but I've drawn myself into the silly debate by offering my comments I suppose), it's about THIS game. To summarize: the single player mechanics are a letdown, as it's the same formula but the story is still fun to play through, which I recommend doing, especially if you've followed the series since the original MW. The multiplayer has ratcheted up the fun factor with a vast array of options, and the Spec Ops is well done, with both missions and survival mode. Giving this game a bad review simply isn't honest.
    Proves the old adage though, that when you're king of the hill everyone either loves you or hates you.

    Well done, IW/Activision, I look forward to the next one. :)    … Expand

I really enjoyed the storyline, the graphics were good, I like the new survival concept and the missions, I like the new strike package options with support, assault and specialist... All in all its perfectly fine for what it is, and it is what it was supposed to be! A fps where you shoot everything that moves in the campaign before going online to complain to your friends about how many drop shotters, quick scopers and campers there are (something that is not the fault of IF). The issue with all these negative reviews is the player - not the game! You cannot order a CoD game that follows the CoD format and then complain about it - what were you expecting?? It delivers a nice conclusion in campaign and the online play is good fun, but if you still aren't convinced, rent it and then decide!… Expand

    There are way to many flanking routes way way to many... some maps running through a ally is like going through a maze 6 foot wide ally u go in and to get out u make a right then a left and another right then a left again WTF. Seatown has a moment like that. Also there is way to many maps where u are in CQC more than half the maps ur going to be knifed or shooting at someone 10 feet away from you!! or there are stupid little hut's all over the place to obstruct your view that force u into CQC cuz u cant see more than 15 feet in front of you The maps PROMOTE camping cuz right when u step outside there are 100 different places u get shot from the map CARBON for example when u are at the bottom of the hill its impossible to check that many places before u go outside and the lighting sucks u can barely make out people in windows sometimes then other times there impossible to miss..

    On the ps3 it take 20 min to get into a game then when u get into one u get kicked out the get a server error then kicked out of the PSN or u get a ERROR OUT OF MEMORY 14 message.. and if u ask me there is no reason absolutely no reason that elite should be down... really u had 2 years to make this service and just going by how many ppl bought BLOPS how could u have servers that could not handle the amount of people that logged on DAY ONE!!! its really a surprise that millions of people bought MW3 to you beachhead.. what a bunch of morons!! i cant believe i blew 100$ on this crap maybe im the moron here!! BUT IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN!! just for reference im not a bum at the game either my win ratio is over 2.00 and KDR around 1.80 over the last few games.    … Expand

The story on MW3 felt better and more fun then Battlefields, I just got more into it and enjoyed it, more so when they had music going on while the action was happening and how you traveled around the world to different locals. Now for the Multiplayer, which honestly you can say COD changed so much, but they really didn't. Yes they added some new game types and added a few more weapons however mainly the same. They did reuse some maps, or just changed orientation of it to look new, same graphics as well. You can search youtube to see the comparison of reused graphics or if you have it go back to previous games and see the same things. A lot of noobtubing going on as well with the new gun(XM25 or something) that i have seen on most games, The servers well, if someone rage quits who is host get used to connection reset, searching new host etc.. Say what you will but BF3 I personally hardly have any issues like that. Over all this game while it is fun to play I would not give it a higher Score then BF3, to me Personally speaking just feels like an expensive map pack for MW2. So I would say rent it before buying so you do not get disappointed and if you have not give BF3 a try.… Expand

The graphics are awesome, and thank God for that or I would put it on e-bay for sale right now. Most of the maps offer way too many camping opportunities without the explosive ability to flush them out. Grenades in general have an explosive strength somewhere in the middle of MW2 and Black Ops. I have played MW2 almost every day since it was released, I may not do the same here, and patience is wearing thin for the lack of sniping with cover. All in all, I am a fan of the COD franchise with exception to Black Ops which I think was horrible all the way around. I'll give MW3 some more time, but might find myself with my old favorite MW2 back in play soon.… Expand

    With so many first person shooters being released, its a tough market. Rather than buy a game i played 3 years ago, I want something new. Just as the World War 2 FPS became old and repetitive, I feel the modern warfare FPS is as well. I;m all ready to go back to World War 2 to be honest. The game has improved on things but not enough to make me want to keep it. Just more credit towards Zelda.

The big however, is that I am reviewing quality on a game and it's just a retread (sorry to use the cliche) of what many want.

    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]
