Nov 10, 2011The Sp was not very engaging it was just run from point a 2 point B .. Mp is ok. I had hoped for more . but it is enjoyable . I think they should have put more time in to it ... only 2 player survival is boring i want 4 person

Oct 1, 2012good game, irregular conexion and killstreaks too much... 10 to compensate bad score
great sequel but no innovation and seem an expansive to mw2. but the game isn't for 3,2 user score -
Jul 31, 2013MW3 is quite disappointing but for any COD fans is still worth playing. It does feel like it has been copy and pasted though and unfortunately gets boring quicker than previous titles in the series.
-
Nov 11, 2011Worst game ever is the appropriate appellation for this **** graphic are the same that MW2, sound are the same, buldings are the same, killstreak are the same! It's a joke?!

Mar 24, 2015Average, that's all, this game is the definition of average. The graphics aren't improved at all from MW2 and Black Ops. The story is quite good if you like a rollercoaster, co-op is awesome with friends but MP is horribly unbalanced with no proper developer support.

Nov 10, 20113 hour campaign glad I only rented it to see the conclusion of the series. Apart from that there is nothing new here kids, move on.
I had more fun playing DNF -

Nov 10, 2011I had a feeling this would happen again after black ops, another 60 dollar map pack. Very disapointed with the "profesional" critics giving this game such high marks. Will not spend any more money on Cod until they finally do some real innovation and not just tweaks.

Nov 10, 2011I was a cod fan, played every single game of cod and mw3 too, but never again, this is a constant deja-vu, and the overpriced dlcs......... is very sad to see how activition kills his franchises, tony hawk, guitar hero and now COD (R.I.P)
Don't waste your money. -

Nov 10, 2011I'm Spanish and here the people who know about FPS are disappointed with MW3 the same thing over and over every year. Sincerely, a company that doesn't listen the users not worth that people buy their game.
It's frustrating that a company that earns a thousand times more than the cost to make a game doesn't improve their game. Far better B3. -
Nov 10, 2011Imagine that Michael Bay did not stop at just one Pearl Harbour movie but now has made a 3rd and asks you for 60â

Nov 10, 2011fantastic. if you like mw1 and 2 this is pretty much the same but with little improvements that make it even more fantastic. the multiplayer is soo fun plus the new survival mode is intensity in ten cities.

Nov 11, 2011Great game. Anyone complaining about hit detection or lagging servers should upgrade their dial up internet. I'm not sure what people hope to achieve with a direct sequal, it's still modern warfare how much do people actually think guns have changed in the past two years. highly recommend to anyone who isn't using ancient internet.
-
Nov 10, 2011Why am I supposed to buy this game? For a number? For an higher price? For the ridiculous longevity? Why people should buy a game that already has?
That's no reason. -
Nov 10, 2011Ce nouvel épisode de Call of duty était particulièrement attendu, et la déception est à la hauteur de ce que l'on pouvait espérer. Nous attendions de la nouveauté , du renouveau dans le gameplay, un épisode qui pète le feu.... Bref terriblement déçu
-
Nov 10, 2011MW3 is not an improvement. Like Frankenstein, its multiplayer maps resemble grotesque assemblages of of maps past. Treyarch does it better. Get a clue, Activision.

Nov 11, 2011Amazing that people think the low user score is down to BF3 trolls. I bought MW3 for Ã
-
Nov 10, 2011Horrible game, cancer destroying the gaming industry.
Want to play MW3 for cheap? Go pick up a copy of MW2. It's the same exact game.
Oh wait, new maps. I forgot. -
Nov 10, 2011Bad connections to games, never lets me join any server disconnected constantly, maps are rubbish, hit detections fails, back to black ops :) they need to patch mw3 soon or they will lose alot of players to bf3,
-
Nov 10, 2011we play that game a lot at 2009 now you make it only servers then you call it new game for just more $$.you can make all the new things as DLC for 10$ not new game .I will not lost my money for second time.I hate black ops servers not server in my **** I did't enjoy the online .now i feal the game just copy and paste.even the Grenades saunds like COD2 till now !!

Nov 10, 2011My thirteen, that's right, THIRTEEN year old brother described this game as "Modern Warfare 2.5" as it brings almost nothing new to the table, yet sports a $60 pricetag. I myself grew weary of the series around MW2, so I did not purchase it, however watching my little brother play, I can confirm it looks EXACTLY like MW2.
Not worth your money, stay away. -

Nov 10, 2011boring campaing and bad multiplayer make call of duty the most disappointing franchise in the gender,nothing good can be say about a game that take step back on innovation.
-
Nov 10, 2011Activision Blizzard continues to peddle the same exact game year after year. Why fix what's not broken? For the sake of attracting new players to the franchise, that's why.
-

Nov 10, 2011CoD makers played it too safe and retained the same gameplay. Which is good, but we are shelling out $60 for a new game, not an expensive map pack. My only gripe is the graphics seem to be worse than they were in MW2. What's up with that?!?
-

Nov 10, 2011MW3 is ok , for a map pack. They should have called it "COD SOS" (Same Old Ship) How many years will they be able to wrech out this regurgitation.
-
Nov 10, 2011Just rented it, to test it out, and it's just the same old crap. Nothing original. Just trying to ride out the money train. Campaign is the same monotonous, "kill generic bad guys to get to the next scripted event", garbage. You can just play any other modern warfare to get the same multiplayer
-
Nov 10, 2011For the people still haven't bought this game yet, Don't buy this rehash Crap that could easily been DLC. Deffinetly not worth $60, its MW2.0. The game was given to me as present and Dissapointed in how much its the same crap, save your $ people buy skyrum or something that has changed and not ripping people off!!!!

Nov 10, 2011Terrible game. Cut and paste of mw2. It is so bad, don't even try it out. Barely anything has changed and it sucks. It is just a $60 dollar expansion pack.

Nov 10, 2011I'm not willing to give a company money for rehashing the same thing they made two years ago. No innovation here. Not worthy of a score. Not to mention it's pathetic that a developer has to beg for his game's score to be boosted.

Nov 10, 2011All Around great game. Solid Multiplayer, Campaign and Spec Ops Mode. Worth Your Money. The maps in multiplayer are great! There are a limited amount of "camp" spots and barely any head glitching spots. Definitely better than Black Ops.

Nov 10, 2011This game is AWESOME. Lets support the game that we all love. The #1 in fps's. Innovation isn't a must, we dont want a differen't game. This game was built and is superior to all other shooters of its kind. Embrace the love that is shown by everyone for this franchise and support MW3 and give it the ratings it deserves!
-
Nov 10, 2011This game is horrible ... I feel scammed.... Im glad i bought bf3 and skyrim at least to play something WORTH playing... and the graphics look like cheese... you could run it on a 3dfx card lmao
-
Nov 10, 2011Games like the call of duty franchise shouldn't be allowed to just get away with the same **** game every year and there lazy ass development team is making so much money off you dumbass idiots who call your self gamers! A true gamer would see through there cash cow ass and boycott this damn franchise. **** THEY ALREADY ANNOUNCED THE NEXT CALL OF DUTY FOR NEXT YEAR WHAT THE **** NOO JUST NO!
-
Nov 10, 2011I have the Blacks Ops and MW2, MW3 fan.el'm almost excellent but unfortunately this is more of the same, it would be better than Activision have released a new game DLC. Unfortunately I buy it and not worth it (I'm disappointed: (. I think I'll change the BF3. Activision is seen that only wants to make money and ignores the players: (

Nov 10, 2011There is two things i hate the most:
1- Rehashed generic shooter
2- Activision
and that's exactly what we have here, another rehashed generic shooter by Activision. -
Nov 10, 2011the same sh!t... mw2.5. NO THANKS!! the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same sh!t!!
-
Nov 10, 2011the game is equal to the lower version, it seems hard, but with the faults they have. Above all they will then try to collect DLC will not be invented, but always the same as emblems, logos copies of the game other versions

Nov 10, 2011MW2 was good but it was not for recycle in the MW3. Very upset with the MW3 is like a copy and paste tricked me like the previous Pay $ 60 for a makeup MW2 Not right. Thank God I do not pay for elite

Nov 10, 2011Amazing that people think the low user score is down to BF3 trolls. I bought MW3 for £40 and it is essentially a frickin' map pack. I could forgive the fact they're still using the dated IW engine if this was brimming with new features and innovations, but this is just a shocking effort - go back to the drawing board already.
-
Nov 10, 2011I gave this game a 5 because it's more of the same. Same dated engine. Few refinements. If you played Mw2 your not missing much besides the story which in my opinion is it's strongest point.
I'm someone who craves innovation, and if your like me, look elsewhere.
For the hardcore Cod Fans that like Stale and Repetitive gameplay, than pick this one up. -
Nov 10, 2011Sad. Literally. It takes up the most powerful game developer to repackage the same sounds, models, textures.
If you played almost ANY Call of Duty, you ain't missing anything. This game is the same recycled trash from 2007. From a Call of Duty fan, I am disappointed, glad I only rented it. -
Nov 10, 2011Like Modern Warfare 2 and Black OPS Modern Warfare3 is a cash w***re NOTHING else. I wonder what happend with this generation? Moder Warafe 3 has only flaws - 5 hour single campaign, much worse Multiplayer (Battlefield 3 ROXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX), and last but not least graphics looks like S**IT
Single player story = absolutelllly stuupid garbage for 13 years old with 60 IQ. -

Nov 11, 2011I 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.

Nov 11, 2011What a ripoff ..its MW2 with the worst hit detection of any COD EVER and honestly ...did the took any time to design the maps ???? soap boxes poorly designed ...sadly i have it for xbox and just spent 2 hours at my friends house playing this on ps3

Nov 11, 2011GAME SUCKS!!!!!!!
The worsted game of the year nomination. if you play the game, it's nothing else than some other textures and a few changes. It feels if you are playing a mod for Modern warfare 2...
My suggestion, even if you are a die-hard COD-fan, buy this game in the after sales for â -
Nov 11, 2011A lot of people love to hate successful things, call of duty games being one of them. This isn't a deviation from what made MW1 and 2 great - those looking for something different won't find it here. Those who enjoy call of duty will enjoy this, simple, those who don't enjoy call of duty will still purchase the game and write a bad review.
-
Nov 11, 2011I'm very sad. I appreciated the CoD Serie for many Years since the beginning. Now it comes to an end with this youngest sequel of Modern Warfare. Also i thought that IW made it better than Trey Arch. My Expectations were terrible disappointed. The same, fu!"Ã

Nov 11, 2011Of course, the SP experience is the same as always, but what do you expect? Everyone wants Bigger, better, bad ass and that's what we get. The multiplayer is the best in the series and will keep me a long time handcuffed to my xbox.
-
Nov 11, 2011The game is fun no matter what others say, they will complain about everything. Alot of people are giving it crap due to it feeling just like mw2, but personally I feel like thats a good thing.
-
Nov 11, 2011Toujours la même chose. Le plaisir de jouer reste mais c'est tellement moche et les cartes si petites ! 2012 devra être une révolution, ne serait-ce que du point de vue des graphismes parce que sinon, les ventes vont chuter drastiquement. A bon entendeur !

Nov 11, 2011release was on 07-11-2011 12:00 @ Game Mania Sittard , i was there at 10:00 and came out at 01:13 was it word , ohw yeah !!, because this game is the best shooting at this moment. there is no other shooting game that can match with this , so for all the hater i know you are also enjoy this game but you just wanted to admit see you online :)

Nov 11, 2011Decu, j'ai pas trouvé de grandes nouveautées avec en plus un filtre ps3 blanchatre et de l'aliasing alors que sur 360 il n'y en a pas.
Plus il y a du des batiments du premier Modern Warfare recyclé dans celui ci. -
Nov 11, 2011MW3 is a good game, not a masterpiece nor a **** .... I enjoy playing it and that's what counts.
That looks like MW2 is normal, after all, is always spoken of COD -

mettre ici des zéro comme note n'est pas réaliste et dénote une envie de descendre ce jeu c'est juste du foutage de gueule -
Nov 11, 2011I like Call of Duty but for me MW2 and Black Ops are better than MW3.
There is no great improvement :/
Hoping for updates to improve 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.
