    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.

    A good sequel of MW2 but is very similar to his predecessor but improve only something about the graphics and the shooting system,the camppain is fantastic with a great end,the coop mode are similar as his predecessor and multiplayer is very bad...not improved very well...but its still funny to play

    What a disappointment after MW2 and BO. I played this game later even though there is no hype for me, disappointment hit me hard. I can't imagine how bad for players in 2011.

    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.

    eesh the negative reviews. Haha. I played this game a lot as a kid. It wasn't as fun as MW2, but it was pretty similar. The story is a good conclusion overall. I liked the survival rounds missions. They were fun.

    The only saving grace for this call of duty was the campaign, which was great, but the multiplayer was my least favorite of the series that I played and survival did not hold up to zombies.

    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.

    this is an absolute rubbish console port for the pc. unfair multiplayer with no ranked dedis, bad graphics, no special pc abilities... infinity ward reprinted mw2 with a 3 on the end and activision is digging people's pockets for money. at least the singleplayer's not bad. campaign is crazy as always and spec ops is fun with friends

    While it has its moments, Modern Warfare 3 fails to live up to the legacy of its predecessor.

    Kinda hated by the community since it was more of the same. Though true, it improved on many unbalanced aspects from MW2. A very good game.

    It is a more raw game than other games in this series. In fact, there is no change between MW: 2. Even the story is made by collecting the stories of other games in this series. But I don't think it's disgraceful. It is a little exaggeration.

    Note: F for Soap ...

    The campaign was incredible fun, nice level design (the only bad level was the one where the chase of the subway was). Lot of guns, nice characters. But lot of details i´ve hated.

    So first of all... why Nikolai´s comrades in arms having Czech surnames instead of Russian ? Then why millitia in Africa has same weapons as a proffesional Russian army in New York ? They could definitely give them instead of modern versions of AKs the old rusted AKs and SMGs with wooden grips and etc. like the rusted 50.cal on pickup car.

    Then, in MW2 i´ve complained about dog move animations.... now, millitia has for some reason Hyennas.. WHY? Why would someone take hyenna instead of dog for combat ?
    In Paris there is Russian T72 tank with graphic model from MW1...
    And Prague doesnt even close looks like Prague in real...
    + some nice easter eggs like TIME magazine where you can see Most Wanted Price and Soap on front page of magazine.

    Well, in the end i cant go higher than 7/10.    … Expand

    Game's phenomenal.The only reason it has such a low rating is because people are just comparing it to its predecessors instead of just looking at the game itself.
    The campaign was incredible fun. Many differently styled missions that all end up in a pretty cool ending.
    Co-op is a lot of fun with friends.
    Multiplayer is the best I've played so far.

    Not a bad CoD title but not the best by far. It's not as impactful as the previous Modern Warfare games but the single-player wasn't that bad. the multiplayer experience was decent but there were better multiplayer games at the time.

    Anyway, not an essential CoD title but it's a decent experience.

    THE GOOD: Kill Confirmed is an exciting new game mode that puts a great twist into your typical FPS deathmatch.

Other than Yuri's confession, the story is a bit predictable, overdone and lacks substance. ------ THE UGLY: Quickscoping has returned, and it's going to ruin a lot of people's moods. The Type 95 is an extremely cheap burst fire weapon. Commando perk is gone (I can't stab people from a distance anymore *sadface*). --------- FINAL VERDICT: It's still fast and fun, but it honestly feels more like MW2.5. Infinity Ward will need to step up their game on their next COD project, or else Treyarch (whom are open to player feedback) will take them by surprise.… 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.
