Nov 29, 2011Same game as COD4. I so want my money and the time back from my life. If you own any of the CODs don't buy this it's the same game we have been playing for 5 years now. FAIL

Nov 30, 2011Such a bad game...Words cannot describe it. How people could actually be blinded so much by infinity ward's marketing that they would actually buy this trash game.. Honestly, I'd even consider Little Big Planet over this game. That would be a better use of the $60... No improvements from a game that was already bad enough.

Dec 4, 2011Very disappointing to dedicated fans, it is modern warfare 2 with more lag and still little offline support such as bots in black ops. It is also very frustrating that the Devs are always making empty promises. (Second chance, Bots, etc) The game will likely only appeal to first time players of the CoD series.

Apr 1, 2012This game is awful. JUST like Modern Warfare 2 except a couple of slight changes. It's just boring and not worth the money that they charge for it. Do us all a favor and don't buy this piece of crap.

Feb 13, 2012This game is just unplayable. It's basically a DLC for MW2 that costs $60. The maps, guns, killstreaks are all just terrible, everyone camps online just to get killstreaks. Nobody plays the objective and every gun has Instakill built in, it's just so stupid. Black ops is much better, MW3 belongs in the trash.

Mar 7, 2012The sound on mw3 is appaling, and next to bf3 its just embarresing!....the call of dutys have been in decline since mw2, and when they inevitably release mw4, it will not be able to stand against bf3 in terms of story, sound and graphics.

Mar 18, 2012I have friends that literally buy each coming COD for the sole reason that the next one will have new guns, perks, and maps. No care for plot or anything other than the multiplayer. Not that this isn't a good game since I've played a good chunk with friends...but it is a huge step down from Black Ops. The only thing 'fun' here is Survival Mode.

Jun 25, 2012Modern Warfare was lityerally the exact same game as MW2 in the multip[ayer, but not in the singleplayer, i think that the campaign is good but not as good as the MW2 campaign (Going to complete my review later.)

Jul 13, 2013What seems to be a massive add on despite having a great story which you see a many memorable scenes from killing. cough..... and yea. the game was only purchased because i needed more guns and maps but ended up using this mainly to play infected and spec ops with my family and friends. seems to me a bit over priced to pay a game they didn't even refine

Mar 29, 2014This game was good, but the campaign was not that fun for me, whereas the Call of Duty: Black Ops campaign i enjoyed quite a bit more. But the multiplayer was the good part of the game.

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.
