All of the weapons seem to have a more unique and realistic sound. 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

    awesome game if you like action and shooters.

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. Overall its a fun game, easy to play and one the best shooters on the market. You won't be disappointing.… Expand

In terms of multiplayer only, MW3 is great for quick and tight action-packed but sometimes lone-wolf games with lots of customizations available and killstreak rewards unmatched by any other game. Every player can succeed and get all sorts of rewards and progressions to keep them coming back. I would've liked to have seen more of an improvement in graphics (which is where BF3 takes the cake hands down), but if you liked MW2 then you'll love this game. 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

    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

I see it as an upgrade to MW2 with additional options and map packs. If the graphics were different than MW2 then their would have been less complains. I am experiencing some problems connecting to friends in private match and i'm not sure if you can connect to friends in spec ops, but that is saying unable to join session also. In MW2 and Black Ops this is working fine in private matches so I'm thinking it's a mw3 issue that will get resolved in a patch. We'll see.. when I started playing just after the midnight release, there were a few connection issues, but they were intermittent and made me have to click find match a couple of extra times. Compared to the problems that black ops had when it was release, MW3's connection issues were mild. Overall I see it as a successfull release with some updates needing to be sent out.… Expand

This hasn't hurt CoD in the slightest, and MW3 is going to be a huge hit. And it deserves to. Sure, battlefield 3 is prettier, but it comes nowhere close to the pure FPS mastery that makes CoD such a juggernaut. The campaign far surpasses the vaguely interesting BF3 campaign and, thankfully, blows the stupid and confusing MW2 campaign out of the water, surpassing the surprisingly strong Black Ops to fall, imo, just short of the first Modern Warfare and Bioshock as the best FPS i've played. The scale is bigger, and while that's not always better, MW3 thankfully avoids a michael bay feel while still having over-the-top set pieces around the globe in the throes of WWIII. But nobody gives two **** about single player except for me, so multiplayer: its pretty **** good. they've made some changes, and while it doesn't seem to be enough for many people, i really don't see much point in ignoring what's widely considered to be one of the best multiplayer experiences ever and trying to reinvent the wheel for the sequel. spec ops, which i've just barely played, is also a ton of fun. Bottom line: haters gonna hate. But MW3, even with all the hype surrounding it, is a fantastic game and completely worth the money. Yes, it runs on an old engine. Yes, the multiplayer feels very similar to MW2. But if you can get over these two flaws (and one of them isn't really even a flaw, seeing as people still play MW2's multiplayer today), then you will be rewarded with a very, very good game.… Expand

    I don't know what everyone is so disappointed in, you know what you're getting into with MW, in my opinion it's the best yet. The campaign has been refined and the story has been concluded, and they've tweaked multiplayer so that it's just as good as ever, if not better. I somewhat wish they would have included the wager match game modes again though.

The guns are indifferent, i enjoy the SMG and Assault classes, but almost always have kick on the weapon to help me aim. In reality, weren't we expecting it to be a bit like MW2? And i think theyve found the right balance between COD4 and MW2, with some old school aspects and less annoyances like Quickscoping. The team aspect of the game has kept me hooked, and although I find it ridiculous that they can charge £34.99 for a few extra maps and stats, I have been more than impressed with the Sledgehammer effort.… 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.
